The gathered sword blades pieced together to form a dark and shiny disc, several thousand meters long, which appeared behind the woman. It tore apart a part of the earth, and the sharp aura also split the space. The light in it was the steel nails sent down by the divine calamity, nailing the woman in place, making her unable to move. Even the exploding black fireworks could not pull her out of the difficult situation for the time being.

This is a powerful law of the metal element, a supreme shackle. The woman frowned and struggled, causing the space behind her to shatter like a spider web. But the point at the center, even if the wind and clouds change, the sun and the moon move, will firmly hold on to its responsibilities.

"interesting."

The woman used two words to cover up the enemy's vitality around her, and also showed her confidence. This kind of talisman formation is indeed strong. If its original owner directly cast it, it might really entangle it. Unfortunately, the talisman formation that Xia Xiao took over was less than one-third of the original one.

All things are in balance. It would be strange if Xia Xiao released all the power of his noble fruit.

Under the mask is the face of a mature and charming beautiful woman. Even though she has no expression on her face, she is sexy in herself, with alluring charm between her eyes and lips.

Xia Xiao couldn't see that kind of appearance, and it was even difficult to see the woman behind the pillar of fire that colored the universe. But the extremely huge pillar of fire melted the space, but it was still intercepted. The other end of the pillar of fire was centered on the woman, and high-temperature magma and flames were splashed in all directions.

In front of the woman, this pillar of fire was just a shell of fire, because the flames on the outside were colorful, but the inside was filled with dark energy that devoured everything, which was overbearing. The dark energy went everywhere like molten fire, and the heat generated made the woman's eyes brighter and brighter, and also made the sword behind her, which was emitting a dark metallic luster, turn red.

This scene was extremely grand, from the clouds to the nine springs, and the destructive power was still increasing, causing everything within the range to quickly disintegrate. Xia Xiao's bloodshot eyes were attracted and he quickly looked down at his feet. The ground was cracking and collapsing, with great movement.

When the soil fell into the abyss, if there was no talisman array hidden inside, Xia Xiao and others might fall into it. But they stood firmly, and the new talisman array opened doors one by one, and there would be another big movement.

"Huo Dou!"

The first thing Xia Xiao did after he reacted was to call it back. At the same time, the golden spirit beast had brought the unconscious Shangshan back behind him.

During this extremely short journey of only one kilometer, Shangshan woke up briefly, but before she could see who was holding her, she fainted again. Her current state could be described as being on the verge of death, but her extremely tenacious vitality would be restored with the help of the pills in Xia Xiao's hand.

When the trembling hand fed Shangshan the pill, a few drops of blood remained on her pale lips, as if to paint them with bright red rouge. At all times, she had a suffocating and dangerous beauty, and his dry mouth was awakened by the feeling of a little bit of moisture.

The pill turned into a beam of light, flowing from Shangshan's mouth to all parts of his body. Seeing this, Xia Xiao's face was expressionless, but he finally felt relieved.

Fortunately, I saved some unused pills in Medicine King Valley, otherwise I would be in a more embarrassing situation now. Xia Xiao also fed himself a pill, and moved his eyes from Shangshan to Ah Zhu and Xiao Ran. He looked at the two girls, and then saw that Huo Dou had not returned yet, so he turned around and shouted:

"Huo Dou! Get back here!"

Glancing behind him, the evil spirit let out a low roar of extreme dissatisfaction, and closed its wide mouth, stopping the release of the insignificant fire energy compared to the talisman formation. He turned into a swift flame, stepped on the vines that grew wildly from countless doors and returned to Xia Xiao, saying angrily:

"You should let me burn her to ashes."

"You can't beat her."

Because of the previous roar, Xia Xiao's brain was somewhat deprived of oxygen. He touched his head with one hand and supported Ju Mang with the other. What he said was true, but Huo Dou turned towards the woman, baring his teeth and making a low roar, with deep hatred. Xia Xiao knew that Huo Dou also wanted to avenge Shu Shuang. This woman finally emerged from the darkness, but he was not calm enough.

The inability to take revenge is Xia Xiao's incompetence. He sighed secretly and whispered:

"Go back!"

Huodou was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only enter the Five Elements Space with the three spirit beasts.

Before leaving, Ju Mang, feeling uneasy, looked at Xiao Ran, as if he felt victory was in sight and he must be careful. Xiao Ran nodded very readily, and was determined to die. If there was no danger, they would go back to the academy together. If there was danger, she would stay forever in this grassland called the Devil.

Compared to the people who had their own thoughts and obsessions, Ah Zhu was as pure as a blank sheet of paper. At this moment, he looked around and knew that this was the fourth array. But he couldn't see the woman, and he always felt uneasy. He didn't know whether the rumbling burning sound suppressed and seriously injured the woman.

"What now?"

Ah Zhu subconsciously asked about his concerns, not hiding them at all. Xia Xiao replied while sitting cross-legged:

"Use the last talisman array to escape from here!"

"Why not just use it? There is time to use this defensive array..."

"This talisman formation is too powerful. If Ju Mang and the others are the carriers of the talisman formation, I can't use it."

Xia Xiao was full of embarrassment in his words. Didn't he want to leave immediately after rescuing Shangshan? But he didn't have the ability to do so. And the first three talisman arrays had to be cast, otherwise he wouldn't even have time to cast the defensive talisman array, let alone recover his strength and prepare for the last talisman array.

Looking at Xia Xiao's tired expression, Ah Zhu's heart trembled. Would he think that he didn't trust him because of what he said? Maybe.

Ah Zhu wanted to explain, but time was running out. Xia Xiao had already started to form hand seals to temporarily restore his vitality. The vitality of heaven and earth moved for him, making him look extremely powerful, but Ah Zhu's eyes were filled with tears. It was not the first time she felt so powerless. She could not do anything and could only be protected and watched from the side.

Gradually, Ah Zhu discovered that the emerald green array under his feet had grown fuzzy grass, and his vision was blocked by extremely thick vines and tree trunks that were combined together. They came from all directions and grew upwards, leaving only a small space. But this space was extremely warm, with the light of fireflies, and the green grass on the ground also had a faint luster, giving them a warm feeling.

Ah Zhu was immersed in this gentleness, but Xiao Ran had already taken out a bamboo tube of water from her backpack and fed it to Shang Shan. She moved her tightly furrowed brows and slowly woke up.

The blurred vision gradually became clear, and what appeared before my eyes was a mask that looked like a spirit bird. When it turned into vitality and dissipated temporarily, an elegant and beautiful face emerged in the gentle light.

Is this... Xiaoran?

Shangshan remembered this noble and strange woman. After Shushuang died, she stayed beside Xia Xiao like an incurable idiot, like a maid, bound by her own invisible shackles. But when they met at this time, there was a sense of intimacy, like a real sister, making Shangshan feel safe.

"We're here to rescue you."

Us, who else?

Shangshan tried hard to move her eyes, but her eyeballs would explode if she moved them. But she saw a woman in black armor, but she didn't know who she was. It should be Ah Zhu, because she couldn't sense their breath. Sitting next to her was Xia Xiao, who had taken off his mask because he couldn't breathe.

The resolute face was covered in blood, and no one knew where the blood came from. But he frowned and seemed to be biting his lips, and his seemingly resolute appearance made Shangshan gradually feel uneasy.

Shangshan hadn't seen Xia Xiao for a long time and was about to forget about him, but he was a little special to her, so she couldn't understand the emotions that surged in her heart, and she was almost bursting. She wanted to go to Xia Xiao and make him stop, but her body couldn't move. Those black chains were ghost bats that sucked her strength, making her feel weak all over.

"Quick! Make Xia Xiao stop!"

The extremely arrogant Shangshan didn't like to rely on others to do anything, because she could do everything, except being defeated this time. But after she yelled at Xiaoran, the latter still knelt beside her, without taking any action, but with a gloomy face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Hello!"

Shangshan was angry because Xiaoran did not move, but her pretty face was full of confusion. She looked at Xia Xiaoshi and said:

"He is casting the last talisman array. Only through it can we escape."

"But he will die!"
