The Exorcist

Chapter 40: Hard Fight (Part 1)

With a sound of "Huo Ci", a figure jumped out of the water.

Although the person who came here didn't climb ashore in embarrassment like Ruan Zhan, his movements were not very graceful. It seemed like something was chasing him behind him, burning his buttocks, and he looked very hasty. He came ashore at the same time as those evil spirit teeth biting his whole body, but the moment he came out of the water, they all disappeared as if they had evaporated.

He was wearing snow-white Chinese clothes, with not a drop of water stain on his body, his hair was not messed up, and he was holding a wooden box in his hand. He should have been very chic and comfortable, but at this moment, he looked a little angry, so he looked nondescript. .

This scene made Ruan Zhan, who was sitting on the corridor in the middle of the lake, burst into laughter!

He was a reserved person and had never laughed like this before, so this sounded particularly harsh to Sima Nan's ears.

"What's so funny?" Sima Nan suppressed the anger in his heart and turned to look at Ruan Zhan with a calm expression.

I saw Ruan Zhan sitting on the railing of the corridor, stretching out his two long legs. Although his face was haggard and his clothes were stained with blood, he looked quite leisurely, without any tension before the battle, as if he was watching a monkey show.

"I'm laughing out loud."

"I hope you can still laugh for a while."

"You can laugh if you want, but do I need your approval for this?" Ruan Zhan still had a smile on his face, "I thought you were so powerful that you can't even handle the things you got from the Hungry Ghost Path. "

Sima Nan snorted coldly, "You are so cruel that you left something to entertain me."

"Sharing is a virtue." Ruan Zhan said tit for tat, but although he said it easily, his face no longer smiled, and his expression was cold and full of provocation.

Sima Nan was so angry that he ignored Ruan Zhan and threw away the two pieces of paper that had been sandwiched between his fingers. Those two pieces were folded into the shape of fish fins and were black. After being thrown out, they did not feel light and airy. Instead, they flew for a long distance like two pebbles. Two sparks exploded in the mid-air of the lake before falling into the lake. in water. Obviously, it was it that rushed in from the waterway with Sima Nan.

Ruan Zhan was still sitting there, but he became more focused. He knew that Sima Nan would suddenly attack at any time, so he was secretly prepared. As he expected, after Sima Nan shook off the two fins, he reached out and took out something from the wooden box, and suddenly threw it to the ground.

Ruan Zhan could see clearly from a distance that what he left behind was an origami object. It was white and black. It was definitely made of white paper with a charm on it. The origami was only half the size of a hand, but after falling to the ground, it suddenly enlarged many times and turned into a ferocious dog, howling and rushing towards Ruan Zhan.

The fierce dog came very quickly, but Ruan Zhan was faster than it. When he saw it, he was about to pounce in front of him. He raised his hand and cast a fire hand seal!

They had only fought directly once, and Ruan Zhan knew that if Sima Nan hadn't been careless last time and suffered a loss because he was at the critical moment of recovering his physical body, he would not have been able to defeat Sima Nan. Therefore, this time he will be in a tough fight, with no hope of success.

Sima Nan's knowledge is very complex, and his attainments in Taoism are very deep and profound, but his most amazing skills are the nightmare technique and the use of origami to transform into real things. The latter makes it impossible for the person being attacked to figure out whether what is in front of him is reality or an illusion, or whether there are really many spirits attached to the paper for him to control. This is true for his paper cranes and paper fish.

Paper is afraid of fire. Even though Sima Nan's paper dog has been specially treated and has been enchanted with mana and spells, his fire handprints also have mana!

Ouch——

The fierce dog screamed, twisted down a few steps in front of Ruan Zhan, and finally turned into a small pinch of black ash!

"Good boy, your Taoist skills have improved again." Sima Nan praised, but it sounded like he was mocking, "Take this one and try it!" He said and threw out another paper dog.

Ruan Zhan was still waiting with the fire hand seal, but this dog seemed not to be afraid of fire at all. It passed through the talisman fire, carrying a strong fishy wind, and pounced on him ferociously! The snow-white fangs were shining like sharp blades, as if they were going to devour him!

Ruan Zhan quickly stood up, ducked down, and dodged the attack. He pulled out a simple wooden stick from his waist with his backhand, and mercilessly swept over the fierce dog that rushed at him for the second time!

There was still a scream, and then the dog disappeared out of thin air, replaced by a piece of white paper with a spell written on it that was almost rotten and fell from the air, falling to Ruan Zhan's feet.

"We actually prepared weapons." Sima Nan said frivolously.

Ruan Zhan ignored him.

He made this wooden stick by removing the railings of the stairs. Not only was it painted with charms, but he also asked him to drive a few half-exposed nails, just to use it when using pure force. It's just that when he swung too hard just now, he pulled the wound on his shoulder. The pain now made him sweat a little.

Sima Nan also noticed the blood on his shoulder and smiled contemptuously, "How about this one?"

"What can you do to me?"

"At least you stand up, no one can sit with me and face the enemy!" Although Sima Nan smiled gracefully on his face, he said the words through gritted teeth. Ruan Zhan's arrogant, cold, stubborn, and a little lazy look made him feel insulted and particularly intolerable.

He knew that Ruan Zhan was great, but this unyielding energy made him very unhappy.

"Guangrong was injured? It doesn't matter, I can wait for you to stop the bleeding first!"

"No need. I'm young and have a lot of blood. It's not like someone who wants to steal from others." Ruan Zhan retorted sarcastically, mentioning that Sima Nan once lived by absorbing other people's blood.

As soon as these words came out, Sima Nan was immediately furious. He understood that Ruan Zhan wanted to anger him, because as far as he knew, Ruan Zhan was not a person who liked to quarrel. He wanted to stay calm, but for some reason, the anger in his chest could not be controlled at all. Maybe it was because he had been defeated repeatedly by this junior, or maybe because of the relationship between them, he was even more unwilling to be defeated by Ruan Zhan. despised.

He didn't say anything, he just threw out a handful of origami. These origami papers were different from the previous two. They were pure black in color. After landing, they immediately turned into a group of ferocious monsters that looked like dogs but were not dogs and rushed towards Ruan Zhan!

Suddenly, Ruan Zhan was surrounded!

Their fur was black and shiny, their eyes were blood-red, their fangs were dripping with saliva, and they made a threatening sound of "whirring" in their throats, as if Ruan Zhan was not a human being in their eyes, but was about to be torn apart. prey! Moreover, those monsters were not only standing in the corridor attacking him, but there were also several floating in the air above the lakes on both sides, and together with the ones attacking in front of him, they formed a fan shape and stared at it eagerly.

Ruan Zhan calmly judged the situation - the corridor was too narrow, and there was almost no buffer zone between him and the monsters. If a fight broke out here, he would have no room to protect himself, and he would not be able to use his power. The battlefield must be Move to a wider area.

In a flash of lightning, he used the fire hand seal again, but this time it didn't hit any monster, but slapped it on the ground in front of him!

There was a loud bang, and the square bricks on the floor of the corridor were shattered inch by inch. From the broken place, there was a fiery red circle growing from small to large, rapidly expanding outwards, and then stopped suddenly after meeting the monsters, like a A protective circle temporarily blocks them from the fire circle. Ruan Zhan, on the other hand, took advantage of the instant time he gained to draw the talisman in the void and quickly used the time and space distortion technique to move to the wide space in the square.

"Want to run away? It's not that easy!" Sima Nan shouted, and before Ruan Zhan could stand firm, he immediately chased after him using the same method. Those monsters are under his control, so wherever he goes, the monsters also go, and Ruan Zhan is still under siege!

At this time, Ruan Zhan was focused on fighting and had no intention of bickering, so he remained silent.

He can only move by himself. Even if he brings others to use the time and space distortion technique, they cannot be too far apart. Sima Nan can move the entire space, which is obviously several times higher than his own skill. He can only use It takes wit and sheer will to win. Seeing that the monsters were approaching him again, Ruan Zhan handed the wooden stick to his uninjured left hand, swung it and knocked out the first monster that jumped several meters away. On his right hand, he drew a time-distorted spell in the void. , then pointed at the monster that came to bite him on the other side, teleported it to the lake surface, pushed it into the water, and waited for the more ferocious and remaining evil spirit teeth to come up and eat them clean.

He may not be powerful enough to distort large areas of time and space, but he can defeat them all!

In just a few seconds, he wiped out half of the beasts that besieged Ruan Zhan, and the rest retreated to the side. Although they were still grinning, they did not dare to take a step closer.

"You know how to kill someone with a borrowed knife!" Sima Nan said bitterly.

Ruan Zhan still didn't speak, just looked at him provocatively. But this has a more direct stimulating effect than any words. It reminds Sima Nan that his plan to kill people with a borrowed knife has not been successful, and Ruan Zhan's small test of his skills is quite useful. How can he not be angry!

He gritted his teeth and scratched his wrist with the sharp nails of his index finger, and blood immediately poured out. He caught his own blood with his hand, and then flicked it out. He didn't know what method he used, but every monster was splashed with one or two drops of his blood.

Those ferocious beasts seemed to have taken stimulants after receiving blood. They screamed loudly and strangely for a few times, turned around and rushed towards Ruan Zhan again!

Ruan Zhan understood that among the spells, the spells drawn by the warlock with his own blood were particularly powerful, so he did not dare to neglect and accepted the challenge seriously and calmly. But this time, the monster that was pushed into the water had to struggle for a long time before it could It will sink, and those hit by his wooden stick will not be killed at all. After flying far away, they will stand up again and attack him!

As a result, it was very difficult for both sides of him. The wound on his right shoulder completely opened and blood started to flow down again. And the bloody smell stimulated the blood-devouring beasts, making them even more excited. They wanted to come forward and cut Ruan Zhan into pieces immediately and suck all his blood.

Ruan Zhan gritted his teeth and persisted. Although it was difficult, he refused to take a step back. He counted the number of monsters in his heart, ten, nine, eight - thinking in his heart that no matter how difficult the monsters were to deal with, some of them would disappear completely. when.

Seeing him like this, Sima Nan on the side was angry and hateful. He took out a stack of paper full of spells, quickly tore it into thin strips, wiped the bleeding area on his wrist, and then recited two words. A spell was thrown out!

As soon as the shredded paper fell to the ground, it transformed into countless snakes, insects, rats and ants, densely crawling towards Ruan Zhan. They crawled very fast, especially the snakes, which seemed to be flying close to the ground and reached Ruan Zhan's feet in the blink of an eye.

In the chaos of the battle, Ruan Zhan struck a thunderbolt from his palm that made them move away. But just such a negligence caused a monster to bite his calf.

He gritted his teeth to avoid crying out in pain, and raised his legs to shake it off. However, at this time, his rhythm when he started fighting was already messed up. The other monster he pushed to the surface successfully escaped the fate of falling into the water and jumped straight into the air. Dive down on Ruan Zhan!

Ruan Zhan was busy dealing with the reptiles coming from under his feet. He didn't pay attention when the vicious dog bit him on his left shoulder. He couldn't help but groan. At this time, more monsters, vicious dogs, and reptiles that he had no time to take care of came to him. around!

Under this situation, Ruan Zhan remained panicked and calmly responded to the challenge. And because of the urgency of the situation, it stimulated the inspiration in his mind and gave him strategies to deal with the enemy that he could not usually think of.

On the one hand, he understood that the waists of these large animals were their weak points, so he turned the lightning in his palm into an electric knife shining with blue brilliance, and concentrated his strength to chop at their waists. Wherever the sharp blade touched, those that could not be burned or hit were The immortal monster was immediately cut in half and broken into two pieces; on the other hand, he first shook off the vicious dog that was still lying on his shoulder and trying to bite his neck, and then put the end of the wooden stick on his own bleeding The blood on his shoulder also doubled the power of the spell drawn in advance, and then swept away the waves of reptiles like a tide!

Even so, he gradually felt unable to support himself. There were more and more injured places on his body, and the number of opponents decreased slowly. He knew that using brute force alone was not an option, and he had to return the situation to his plan as soon as possible. Track up!

With his mind racing, he glanced at Sima Nan and saw that his hands were controlling the things that were attacking him, but his face was full of pride and ridicule. An idea flashed in his mind, trying to be attacked by several monsters at the same time. , withdrew his hands, made a thunder palm in one hand, and a fire hand seal in the other, and greeted Sima Nan at the same time!

He does not have the ability to attack, so he has been passively defending. However, with the current situation, he will soon be unable to defend. He can only force Sima Nan to protect himself in a lose-lose situation, so that he has a chance to slow down, and finally Return the battle to its own rhythm.

It is very risky for him to do this, because if Sima Nan is ruthless enough, he may ignore his attack, and Sima Nan will only be injured, and he will be covered by these monsters driven by Sima Nan, and he will be seriously injured even if he is not dead!

But what he was betting on was that Sima Nan cherished himself too much and couldn't compete with his cruelty!

Sure enough, his full blow made Sima Nan immediately withdraw his hand and shouted, "Do you think you are the only one who knows the fire hand seal and palm thunder?" He waved his hand and launched two moves in succession, blocking Ruan Zhan's attack halfway. , the forces of the two parties collided fiercely, making a deafening roar and disappearing simultaneously.

In this direct confrontation, Sima Nan did not receive any impact, but Ruan Zhan seemed to be pushed by gravity, and his body flew back more than ten meters and fell into a flower pond!
