Chapter 28 Wan Gui Long time no see, Brother
Before leaving early this morning, the woman had deliberately wandered in front of him wearing that tattered piece of clothing. Now the already tattered material was covered in blood, along with the blood on the woman's face, which made his heart suddenly tighten.
The woman was covered in flames, with her arms open, calling his name as she rushed towards him. Subconsciously, he also imitated her posture, opened his arms, and let her fall into his arms like catching a falling butterfly.
The body in his arms had the warmth of his own magic, and this realization gave him a strange feeling. The warmth spread rapidly throughout his body like vines, making him stunned and feel an imperceptible panic.
Xu Xingxing's heart was beating very fast, not because she was shy. The scene of her fighting with Zhou Qing in the barrier just now, and then taking advantage of his unpreparedness to roll up the ten monks and break through the barrier was still floating in her mind.
Perhaps it was the surge of adrenaline; her palms were burning, her heart was beating fast, and she was incredibly excited. After she'd regained some sense of solidity while holding Xiao Hei, she pulled out of his embrace and looked up, praising him. "Xiao Hei, you're amazing! If it weren't for you, I'd probably be dead right now!"
Xiao Hei's chest was once again filled with cold air due to the woman's departure. He felt a slight discomfort, but he frowned to suppress the feeling and said, "You also know that you will die?"
Xu Xingxing pointed proudly at the ten monks on the ground and said, "How are they? I rescued them."
"Senior Sister, you finally came out!"
After Fang Zhiming and Qin Feng settled a group of people, they also flew over here. Seeing Xu Xingxing covered in blood, Fang Zhiming asked worriedly, "Are you injured?"
Xu Xingxing shook her head and said, "This blood is not mine. Go and see Lin Yue. Her injuries are worse than mine."
The blood curse was interrupted, and most of the skills returned to Lin Yue. However, since he had been bound by the formation for such a long time, it would be better to check it out.
Fang Zhiming's body froze and he quickly headed in the direction Xu Xingxing indicated.
Qin Feng took out a bottle of pills from his Qiankun bag and handed it to her: "Senior Sister, I see that your breath is a little unstable. This pill has the ability to heal injuries and protect the body. Take it first."
After seeing Xu Xingxing take it, he went to help Fang Zhiming.
The blood curse was cleared, and the ten lying monks were gently placed on the ground by the Hades Snake. Then they transformed into thumb-thick bodies and flew to Xu Xingxing's feet.
Xu Xingxing picked it up and saw that it was in good condition. He patted its head and asked, "Can it become smaller?"
Upon hearing this, the Hades Snake shrank even smaller, becoming as thick as a jade bracelet. She nodded in satisfaction, coiled the snake around her wrist, and raised her hand for Xiao Hei to see: "Does it look good?"
The woman's fair wrist seemed to be wearing a dark green bracelet, which shone with a metallic green luster under the firelight, making her arm look as white as jade, soft and flawless.
The snake opened its eyes and looked at him, and seemed to be wrapped tighter. For some reason, he felt it was extremely dazzling, so he pulled the snake off and threw it to the ground far away.
"Oh! My snake—" Xu Xingxing was very confused and cursed, "What are you doing? Are you crazy?"
He was about to pick it up, but the low-pressure boy grabbed his wrist. The boy said to Fang Zhiming, who was closer to the snake, "Fang Zhiming, the snake is yours."
Fang Zhiming was speechless for a moment. Although he didn't know what the two of them were arguing about, he obediently picked up the green snake and put it into his sleeve.
Xu Xingxing secretly rolled his eyes at Xiao Hei. Seeing that he couldn't break free from his shackles, he joined him and came to Fang Zhiming's side. "With such a big commotion just now, didn't it alert the provincial government?"
Xiao Hei let go of his hand when he saw that she no longer cared about the snake.
"Naturally, I was alarmed."
After Fang Zhiming gave Lin Yue the pill, he sighed, "It was me who pretended to be Kunlun and said the Zhou Mansion was hiding a demon that kept them inactive. Luckily, no one in the Zhou Mansion was killed or injured, otherwise we would have been guilty of a serious crime. Oh, by the way, Senior Sister, what exactly happened to you in there? Once the barrier was broken, demonic energy surged into the sky. This Zhou Qing is really no pushover!"
"Do you know someone who was very close to my father and later broke both legs while protecting him?"
"Uncle Shi?" Fang Zhiming asked in surprise. "He passed away a long time ago. Why are you suddenly asking about him, Senior Sister?"
"Uncle Shi?" Xu Xingxing frowned slightly. "Which Shi? Is he related to that Shi Chen?"
"It's Shi Chen, right?" Fang Zhiming was even more surprised, but still answered honestly, "Then Shi Chen is Master Shi's biological uncle. After he fell into evil ways, the Shi family severed ties with him... Senior Sister, how did you know about this evil cultivator? Master never lets us talk to you about these things..."
Everything makes sense.
Xu Xingxing looked at Fang Zhiming seriously and said, "Send me the musical note."
"Is he very strong?" Xiao Hei asked.
Xu Xingxing nodded.
She could feel that Zhou Qing was not using his full strength. It was her desperate cry of "Father, you're here!" that made Zhou Qing stunned. She took advantage of his unpreparedness and kicked him into the pool of blood and escaped.
Xu Xingxing got the talisman and was about to send a message to Xu Yi. Fang Zhiming saw it and was about to say something when he saw the talisman paper suddenly turned into ashes and disappeared.
Zhou Qing's voice echoed in the air: "Xing'er, uncle doesn't like children who complain."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xingxing turned around and saw Zhou Qing standing on the beam of the house. His posture was as firm as a pine tree, and his azure clothes were neat and clean. He did not look at all embarrassed as if he had fallen into a pool of blood.
Did he change his clothes?
Xu Xingxing twitched his lips and retorted, "Why? I'll tell my father when I get back."
"It's okay to tell him," Zhou Qing's voice seemed to fluctuate, "I just don't want to see him."
"Huh? He knows Master?" Fang Zhiming's clear, foolish eyes widened. "But Master will be here later."
The air solidified instantly, the surrounding flames stopped flickering, and sparks stopped in the sky, as if time had stopped at this moment, and all this was because of the man on the beam.
Even from such a distance, Xu Xingxing could sense his daze. Zhou Qing stared blankly at the place and spoke with difficulty, "Who? Will they come?"
Fang Zhiming knew he was being questioned, and he raised his chin proudly: "Master of Kunlun, Xu Yi!"
"Hmph, scared now!" Fang Zhiming was still smug. "I saw something was wrong, so I reported it to Master. He happened to be not far from here, and since he was worried about Senior Sister, he came to check it out himself. I advise you to surrender quickly. My Master might even spare your life later!"
"Heh..." Zhou Qing chuckled, "Well, see you later."
After saying that, he turned and was about to leave.
The next second, Zhang Long and a master from the government office appeared in front of him.
Zhang Long crossed his arms and said, "Brother Zhou, you haven't explained to the governor the demonic aura that's spreading throughout this barrier yet. How can you escape without permission?"
"You can't beat me."
"Can't beat them? You and I are both incarnations. It's too arrogant to say that." Zhang Long snorted coldly, "Besides, you are alone. How can you fight against four people?"
After saying that, he attacked Zhou Qing together with the master from the government office!
Zhou Qing then summoned his sword to fight.
Zhang Long's movements were extremely fast, and the masters from the government office were also very ruthless. Zhou Qing fought against the two of them at the same time, and he was able to defeat them with ease.
Lianxu is Lianxu, and one level higher in realm can crush others. Seeing that Zhang Long and the other two were in a state of decline, Fang Zhiming and Qin Feng also followed with swords in hand.
"Let's go too!" When Xu Xingxing condensed the ice sword and prepared to fly, he saw Zhou Qing suddenly distance himself from the crowd and recite some technical terms.
As the spell was chanted, bursts of mournful ghost howls rang out from the inner chambers of the Zhou Mansion. Yin energy and demonic energy burst out at the same time, actually causing the cold-avoiding beads hanging in the air to explode one by one.
The majestic building suddenly collapsed, and out flew thousands of evil spirits, all filled with resentment, with terrifying faces, and screaming miserably as they pounced towards the crowd.
Xu Xingxing wanted to open the barrier to stop them, but it was too late. The crowd screamed and fled in all directions. The evil spirits followed them and tore them to pieces in an instant.
Zhang Long and his companions were also haunted by evil spirits. Zhou Qing looked at everything around them coldly. Finally, his gaze stayed on her for a moment, and he was about to leave.
"Xiao Hei, stop him!"
Seeing that Qi Rongli and the guards from the government office had come in to rescue people, Xu Xingxing went with Xiao Hei to chase Zhou Qing. Not far away, dozens of Kunlun monks passed by her and headed towards the evil spirit behind them. Some of them even politely called her "Senior Sister" when passing by.
Hmm? Could it be...
Xu Xingxing rushed forward with suspicion. Not far away, he saw Zhou Qing standing in front of him. Just by looking at his background, he could sense his stiffness. He seemed to be under a spell, and snowflakes fell on his shoulders, making his figure look unusually desolate.
Not far away, there was a man facing Zhou Qing. The man had silver hair on his shoulders and stood with a sword in his hand. The wind blew up his clothes, but not a single piece of snow could touch his body. He was as handsome as jade.
It’s father.
Xu Yi's expression was as calm as usual. He looked at Zhou Qing for a long time before finally speaking, but his voice seemed even colder than the ice and snow in the sky:
"haven't seen you for a long time."
"Senior Brother."
Zhou Qing suddenly laughed, his shoulders shaking violently. At first, it was a low laugh suppressed in his chest, and then it slowly turned into a bold and unrestrained laugh. His laughter drifted in the wind and snow, and it was even colder than the ghost's cry not far away.
After a long while, he finally stopped, wiped the tears from his eyes, and said, "Brother, are you here to kill me?"
Xu Yi's expression remained unchanged. He just slowly clasped his hands together and bowed solemnly towards Zhou Qing:
"Brother, make your move."
Zhou Qing suddenly stood still. The whistling sound of the wind could not compare to the desolation in his eyes. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and then attacked Xu Yi with a sword.
Xu Xingxing watched the two fighting and felt extremely disappointed. She seemed to understand Zhou Qing's crazy smile, and seemed to know why Xu Yi performed this salute.
I committed a terrible mistake in order to avoid you, but in the end I was still one step too late.
I respect you, honor you, and thank you for sacrificing your life for me, but I have no choice but to kill you with my sword.
A snowflake suddenly hit her nose, and Xu Xingxing was so cold that she came back to her senses immediately.
She only heard Xu Yi scolding her during a break in the fight: "What are you doing standing there?"
Zhou Qing pushed him back a few steps and said, "Uncle is here, don't be afraid of him."
It was just like fellow disciples exchanging martial arts skills.
Xu Xingxing knew Xu Yi's intention. She was no longer needed here and she should do more important things.
She chuckled twice and pulled Xiao Hei to drive away the evil spirit.
After she and Xiao Hei returned, they found that although the Kunlun monks had somewhat controlled the evil spirits, it was still not very effective. This was because there were too many evil spirits, mixed with demonic energy, and the people were scattered, making it extremely difficult to rescue them.
The ground was littered with broken bodies, screams, and ghost howls.
"That shouldn't be the case. Why are these ghosts so powerful?"
"It must have been nourished by the devil's blood."
"How do you know?"
"I don't know." Xiao Hei shook his head, "But I know that after killing the monster, the evil spirit's power will be greatly weakened."
"The Zhou Mansion is so big, where can we find monsters?"
Xiao Hei looked at Xu Xingxing and said, "I know where it is."
