Chapter 272: One plant, two beauties, twin flowers (18)
Huai Qian had already expected Taoist Xuanqing to turn against her and become ruthless.
The "love" between the two was originally just a ridiculous trap set by Jade Ding Zhenren.
Taoist Priest Xuanqing had his love poison removed by his master, and his feelings for Huai Qian were also broken up. The deep affection and vows they once made to each other have all become illusions.
Huai Qian knew that it was useless to blame him, and she didn't have the time or leisure to blame him.
Compared to her hypocritical former lover, the safety of Shi Sui, who is closely connected with her, is what Huai Qian is most concerned about now.
Jade Ding Zhenren, wearing a green Taoist robe, chased after Shi Sui Manjusha's real body. Shi Sui, who had lost his power, hid here and there in a panic, completely unable to fight back. Huai Qian was extremely anxious watching this.
"Don't move!"
Taoist Master Xuanqing coldly strangled her fair and delicate neck with a whisk. Without much force, a red mark was left, and Huai Qian could hardly breathe.
"What on earth do you want to do..." Huai Qian questioned Taoist Xuanqing in a hoarse voice.
She lacked social experience before, so she was deceived by Jade Ding Zhenren again and again. After communicating with Shi Sui in the Buddhist beads just now, Huai Qian finally understood that there was another ulterior motive behind Jade Ding Zhenren.
Taoist Xuanqing said coldly: "You are about to die, and you still care about these trivial things?"
Huai Qian snorted, "I have a mouth, I can ask whatever I want. If you don't like me, why don't you just stab me to death?"
Facing Huai Qian's provocation, Taoist Xuanqing frowned and increased the strength of his hands, but he still did not take her life.
Huaiqian also learned to read people's expressions.
Jade Ding Zhenren clearly had an overwhelming advantage over Shi Sui, but he was hesitant to kill her.
Taoist Xuanqing treated herself the same way. His whisk was already around her neck, yet he still had the mood to talk nonsense with her.
Huai Qian was certain that the master and disciple did not want to kill them on the spot, but wanted to capture them alive!
If you can't defeat the enemy, then take the risk and try to outwit them by using yourself as bait.
“Ah, I can’t do it anymore…”
Huai Qian took the opportunity to transform herself back into her true form as Mandragora.
Taoist Xuanqing was caught off guard, and his whisk suddenly pressed down on the delicate flower.
Huai Qian was already in a low health state, and after being pressed by the whisk, half of his life was almost gone.
The pure white petals gradually withered.
Now it was Taoist Xuanqing's turn to panic.
My master handed Huai Qian over to me to deal with. If she died at my hands, I would have no way to explain myself.
In order to save Huai Qian's life, he stretched out his hands to surround Mandragora and protected her with his magic power.
This scene seems familiar.
Taoist Xuanqing felt as if his head was suddenly pricked by a needle, and many images gradually emerged...
36 lives ago, he was sent down to earth by Jade Ding Zhenren to carry out a mission. There, he met Huai Qian, and they lived together like an ordinary couple for decades. In the end, when Huai Qian had almost exhausted all her energy and was about to be reduced to ashes, he had protected her in this way...
Taoist Xuanqing was distracted.
"This is just a love poison, it's just the aftereffects of being poisoned by the love poison!"
He closed his eyes tightly, trying to get rid of these "false" thoughts.
But his breath was already disordered, especially the Yellow Springs Qi in his body. After coming into contact with Huai Qian, it began to rampage uncontrollably in his internal organs and meridians, evoking more and more memories.
"Qian'er..."
Taoist Priest Xuanqing's thick eyelashes kept fluttering across his slender eyes, his two thin lips were slightly parted, but he could not utter a complete sentence.
Reason and emotion are fighting each other, neither giving in.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Huai Qian was no longer cold, but as excited and surging as a spring that had thawed after a long winter.
"Don't look at me like that..." Huai Qian also choked up, but she forced herself to pull herself out of her impulsive emotions, "Tell me quickly, what exactly does your master, Jade Ding Zhenren, want to do with us?"
Boom——
Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the sky, like the collapse of the heavens and the earth.
Shi Sui hid among the remaining flowers, and her agile movements made it difficult for Jade Ding Zhenren to strike her down repeatedly, and he was unable to lock her into the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower.
Jade Ding Zhenren became furious and roared, then drew out the Immortal-Slaying Sword and swung it in a semicircle.
He had indeed wanted to take both Shi Sui and Huai Qian into the tower to see if they could be rescued... but now he had changed his mind.
Only by strangling Shisui to death with his own hands can he relieve the hatred in his heart!
The power of Jade Ding Zhenren's sword was so great that it not only destroyed almost all the red spider lilies in the air on the top of the mountain, but also caused damage to the Big Buddha Temple.
The sharp sword energy actually cut the magnificent temple in half, and the roof tiles fell down with a crackling sound, killing many monks on the spot!
Shi Sui was isolated and helpless.
She still didn't know why Jade Ding Zhenren was chasing her.
She is not subject to the control of the Six Paths and has no one to rely on. In the past few thousand years, she has never asked for help from any person, demon, or god.
But now I can't care about so many things. The only feasible plan is to try to take Huaiqian back to hell.
That is the territory ruled by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and King Fengdu. No matter how arrogant Jade Ding Zhenren is, he would not dare to act recklessly there.
Shi Sui knew that this action of hers would most likely be punished or even executed by the Five Ghost Emperors and the Ten Kings of Hell... Although she usually had a good relationship with the King of Hell, rules were rules. Bringing the conflicts between the immortal and mortal worlds into the underworld and disrupting the order was a serious crime.
But since they were about to reach a desperate situation, Shi Sui had to take a gamble no matter what.
"Huai Qian! Quick! Change into a human form so I can possess you!"
Shi Sui rushed towards Huai Qian.
Jade Ding Zhenren chased her relentlessly, swinging his sword at her from time to time.
Shi Sui dodged the sword attack by sticking close to the edge, and was only a short distance away from Huai Qian.
Huaiqian quickly transformed into a human form and used all his strength to move towards Shisui.
The two met up, Shi Sui attached herself to Huai Qian's body, and immediately chanted a spell, setting up a blood formation, trying to open the gate to hell.
Taoist Master Xuanqing's thoughts were extremely confused. He watched the scene happening in front of him, completely at a loss and stunned.
When Jade Ding Zhenren saw that Shi Sui was about to escape to the underworld, he felt something was wrong.
If this matter involves the underworld, it will be a big trouble.
He must let Shisui die in the human world.
Jade Ding Zhenren channeled his Qi into his Dantian, pointed the Immortal Slaying Sword towards the sky, and shouted to Taoist Xuanqing, "Disciple, get out of the way!"
When Taoist Xuanqing saw this, he knew that his master wanted to...attract thunder from the sky!
In the blink of an eye, a crack appeared in the sky. The thunder that Jade Ding Zhenren had attracted with all his strength was brewing and would soon strike down on them.
Just a little bit more.
Just a little bit more and Tokiho can open the gate of hell!!
At this time, purple-blue light flashed in the cracks in the sky.
Taoist Master Xuanqing looked at Huai Qian's petite body and the rapidly approaching thunder, and suddenly flew out...!
