Kun Jie stared at the red-haired girl in front of him and laughed wildly, as if he was extremely excited that he could take revenge on Feng Weishu in this way.
"I grew up in Cangliu City since I was a child. I had nothing to do with you, a devil, in the past, and I will never have anything to do with you in the future!"
Ning Yue just stared at the other party, her blue eyes full of fear. Granny Cen on the side turned to look at Kun Jie, then looked at her, shook her head helplessly and said, "Actually, it's Mrs. Coral. I have been asking you to hide this from the young lady, but the man in front of you is indeed your biological father!"
"No, it's impossible! My father is Feng Weishu, the high priest of Cangliu City. There is absolutely no way he is this devil!" The red-haired girl suddenly screamed, as if she wanted to scream out of the nightmare in front of her. Awake.
"Admit it! In fact, you have the same devil's blood flowing in your body! As long as you are willing to recognize me as your father, all your past mistakes can be forgotten. From now on, together as father and daughter, we will be invincible and unfavorable." Kun Jie looked at the helpless girl in front of him with a playful face, threatening and coaxing her.
"I will never recognize you until I die! You devil, hypocrite, and executioner! No wonder my mother chose my father in the end. It must be because she recognized your true face!"
Ning Yue cursed viciously. These words clearly hurt Kun Jie's pain. He turned his eyes sideways and actually grabbed a long knife from the hand of a fireman next to him:
"Little girl! Don't say she is my daughter. Even if Coral is still alive today, if she dares to block my way, I will kill her on the spot. I will never be soft-hearted! All living beings in this world, including the gods in the sky, whoever tries to stop me All those who are on their way must be eradicated, leaving no one behind!"
Amidst the almost roaring roar of the other party, Ning Yue shed tears of despair in her eyes. But with her stubborn personality, she did not close her eyes and accept her fate. Instead, she widened her angry eyes, as if she wanted to kill with her fiery gaze. other side.
And at the moment when Kun Jie slashed with his sword, a thunder suddenly sounded in the sky above the dense forest. Then a dazzling electric light penetrated the sky and the earth, penetrated the layers of dense branches and leaves without any warning, and directly hit the person holding it high in his hand. long knife!
The man was instantly engulfed by incandescent light that could almost blind the human eye. His entire body became translucent, and his bones and blood vessels were clearly visible!
Ning Yue was so horrified by the scene so close at hand that the old lady beside her suddenly pushed away the two firemen who were holding her down, grabbed the staff on the ground with one hand, and grabbed the girl's arm with the other. Rushing towards the outside of the encirclement:
"Miss, come with me quickly! This lightning won't stop him for long!"
Sure enough, after the electric light dissipated, although the long knife had turned into a curved red iron rod, as if it had been recast in a furnace, Kunjie himself was not injured at all, but his clothes were almost burned away. .He only moved his arms slightly, then waved his right hand holding the sword and hummed heavily:
"Grandma Cen, do you think you can easily block me with your little magic power?!"
At this time, the old woman had already pulled the girl and ran away for more than ten feet, but she suddenly turned around, stopped her steps, and inserted the staff in her hand heavily into the soil. Behind the two of them, Kun Jie's guards and two galloping wolves were also chasing after them. Coming. But while running wildly, the opponent seemed to hit an invisible wall, and then saw a dazzling spark bursting out in the air!
"Thunder Shield Curse? You old guy, you actually secretly practice high-level breathing behind my back!"
Kun Jie immediately stopped his men from rushing forward, but then stood there and sneered, "But Granny Cen, if you activate a spell that exceeds your own ability without permission, it will be counterattacked. You should know this truth, right?" ?”
Seeing that her spell was working, the old lady took a deep breath. She couldn't bear it any longer, showing an expression of extreme pain, but she still shouted at the other party:
"Although Mrs. Coral still had a glimmer of hope for you during her lifetime, it seems now that it was just her wishful thinking! Even if I am shattered to pieces today, I will never allow Miss Rang to fall into your hands again!"
However, the moment he opened his mouth to speak, the spell he had been concentrating on suddenly went out of control without any warning. The whalebone staff suddenly exploded, and the powerful force of the backlash knocked the old woman away heavily and rolled away. It landed on the ground and rolled over several times before stopping.
"Mother-in-law!" Ning Yue exclaimed and turned back, struggling to lift up the old woman who fell on the ground. However, she saw that her face was bloodless and her lips were dark purple. She finally realized that what Kun Jie said was true - the old woman wanted to help her. To save her, he did not hesitate to seriously injure himself!
The rain started to fall from the sky at some point, and a thick mist quickly rose from the swamp. Kunjie, who was trapped in place by the spell and could not move forward, still sneered and shouted loudly at the two figures in the rain curtain. shouted:
"Grandma Cen, you should know in your heart that even if the current spell can block it for an hour or two, you will still be unable to escape from my grasp in the end!"
"Whether you can escape or not is not up to you!"
Filled with hatred, the red-haired girl retorted fiercely, then used her shoulders to lift up the weak old woman and quickly disappeared into the night. In the forest ignited by thunder and lightning, only the falling rain was left, reflecting the orange-red color. The misty light.
Seeing this, one of the fire-fighters approached Kun Jie and whispered in his ear: "Don't you plan to cast a spell to break the opponent's spell and continue to pursue him?"
Regarding this, the leader of the rebel party did not seem to be worried. Instead, he laughed sinisterly:
"It doesn't matter, breaking the curse will consume my energy. The moon swamp is more than a hundred miles in radius. If the two of them want to leave this swamp, there are only three routes available: east, west, and south. Now we have sealed off the south side. If this is the best road to take, if you go west, you need to climb Tuori Peak, and then pass through a ruins in the mountain that even people on the ground don't know, then you can bypass Suoyang Pass and go to Changzhou. But Cen Po They also knew that in addition to the year-round wind and snow, there were also some terrifying things patrolling in the dark. The only option for the two of them at the moment was to go eastward along the Qingyuan River to the Ayabei Plateau. But that There are many dragons on the road. If those ferocious beasts lurking in the water can kill these two people for me, it will naturally be the best result. Even if they can get out alive, the manpower arranged by me will be near Mingquan Ridge. Guard the main road and catch turtles in an urn."
The night passed quickly.
When the sky turned white again, Ning Yue had already followed the old woman a long way away. Seeing that Kun Jie did not lead the crowd to chase them, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and sat on some rocks beside a pool. Take a short rest.
Here, we are very close to the lower reaches of Qingyuan River, and even the water in the swamp has become clearer.
The girl's legs were sore from running, as if they had been soaked in vinegar. So she took off her shoes and socks, and stirred her bare feet back and forth in the water. The cold water washed away the fatigue all over her body, and she closed her eyes comfortably.
Eyes:
"Mother-in-law, where are we going next?"
"Going all the way east from here, you can reach Lincang, the capital of the Peng Kingdom. From there, we can take a boat out to sea to avoid Kun Jie's eyes and ears."
Grandma Cen looked a little tired, but she still managed a comforting smile on her face.
"But I heard Ziyin say that there are a lot of Kui Jiao infested in the Qingyuan River, and it has even become a very troublesome disaster for Sui and Peng. We - is there any other way to go?"
"I know a little bit about Kui Jiao. It's just that the other way is even more difficult." The old woman hesitated for a moment, but seemed to have something unspeakable and refused to explain any more.
"Is there anything more terrifying than the Kui Jiao? I heard from Ziyin that those water beasts can drag buffalo into the water and choke them to death in one bite!"
It seems that Qi Ziyin was describing the horror of Kui Jiao to the red-haired girl before. As she was talking, she suddenly stopped moving her feet and looked at the ripples on the water, with a hint of fear in her expression.
"It is said that those Kui Jiao like to lurk by such clear water. When buffalo come to drink water, they will sneak over from the water quietly, and then——"
Before the girl finished speaking, she actually saw a dark black shadow on the still rippled water bottom that moved slightly, and then a series of bubbles appeared. The shadow had been sinking to the bottom of the water until now, so she thought it was a piece of rock from the shore.
A stone rolled into the water.
Ning Yue couldn't help but shiver slightly, and quickly lifted her feet out of the water. However, before the water droplets between her toes fell back into the pool, she saw the black shadow suddenly split from the middle,
Like a poisonous snake spitting out a message, it swooped up from the bottom of the water. It was a Kui Jiao that hid its body under the sand, with only half of its head exposed!
The old woman did not expect that she would encounter these terrifying water beasts so soon. She hurriedly reached out to grab the girl's arm, but it was already too late. At this time, Ning Yue's legs were hanging in the air, and she could not maintain her balance in the panic.
His body tilted and he fell from the bluestone he was sitting on into the water!
Kui Jiao's mouth was wide open, revealing a bright red tongue and fine canines. With the girl's scream, one person and one beast fell heavily back into the water, stirring up water columns that reached the sky, and also swallowing up the silt that had been dormant for many years.
They also stirred everything up.
Grandma Cen's face turned pale with fright. She immediately leaned over the shore and stretched her head to see, but she could not see anything under the turbid water.
"Miss, miss!"
The old grandma's throat suddenly became very dry and her voice was a little hoarse. Under the clear sky, she suddenly heard a muffled sound under the water, and then a large wave of scarlet color surged up. Amid the old woman's shouts, a mass of red
The long hair emerged from the water, and then the girl's face was revealed, which was full of panic, but also somewhat at a loss.
Grandma Cen quickly grabbed the girl's hand, struggled to pull her out of the water, and repeatedly groped her body with both hands. But the strange thing was that Ning Yue didn't see any injuries on her body, and she could only be lifted from the water.
There were several water plants and a piece of clothing stained red with blood.
"Mother-in-law, was it you who cast a spell to save me?"
The red-haired girl just stared blankly at the bright red mass in the water, with a puzzled face. As she spoke, the Kui Jiao from before also turned up its belly and floated up from the bottom of the water, but for some reason its lower jaw was torn off, and it died on the spot. .
The old lady finally breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head: "Without the staff, I wouldn't be able to activate the Thunder Shield Curse. Maybe you are the one who saved the young lady!"
"Is it - myself?" Ning Yue became increasingly confused.
"People with extraordinary talents will never forget it once they have seen the whole body. It's just that you don't know how to use the power in your body yet, so you only activate it in extreme crises."
The other party's explanation made the expression on the girl's face become solemn: "Where does this ability in me... come from? Is it my father, or is it the demon Kun Jie?"
"Miss, in fact, you don't need to worry about this matter at all. Have you ever thought about why the chief priests of all generations have to wait until they get married before taking office?"
Granny Cen suddenly asked in return. Seeing the girl shaking her head repeatedly, she continued, "Actually, breathing is not difficult in itself. Anyone with some talent in Cangliu City can practice it. But if you want to activate high-level spells, you must It must be supported by strong spiritual power, otherwise it will exhaust all the blood in the body and die. Therefore, if you want to control the breath in this world, apart from using the mysterious rose to activate it, the only way left is to become a high priest. Not to mention, this kind of powerful spiritual power can only be found in the daughters of great priests in the past."
"What my mother-in-law means is that my strength actually comes from my mother?!" Speaking of Mrs. Coral, Ning Yue's eyes filled with tears again.
The old lady opposite nodded and continued to explain:
"Mrs. Coral told me these things. Due to the excessive consumption of frequent spells, the chief priests in the past could only give birth to one daughter after getting married, and then they could no longer have children. It is for this reason that they would allow people with other surnames to inherit the throne. The priest's alms bowl. On the surface, it is to introduce new people into the dharma hall, but in fact it is just a helpless move."
The red-haired girl suddenly thought of something: "So - Kun Jie actually didn't know this, so he ordered to kill us without hesitation?!"
"Yes. In fact, since Miss Da, you arrived, Kun Jie's breath has become more and more powerful - but he has always been conceited. Maybe he just thought that his breath has become stronger and stronger enough to open the entrance to the Holy City. Therefore, he has always been conceited. , he also feels that he no longer needs you or me..."
Granny Cen suddenly hesitated and swallowed the next words. After all, she didn't know whether to tell the girl at the moment that the power in her body was like a mysterious rose and was not inexhaustible. And the reason why Mrs. Coral was frail and sick was that It was also because he frequently helped Feng Weishu cast spells to stabilize the boundaries in Cangliu City.
However, the subtle expression on the old woman's face still failed to escape the red-haired girl's eyes: "Mother-in-law, what are you worried about?"
"Miss, starting from today, I will teach you how to control this power in your body."
"How to kill people, what can I do with it?"
Ning Yue shook her head without thinking. She was already extremely disgusted with what her father and Kun Jie had done, but now that she heard that she actually wanted to learn the methods they used to kill people, she would not agree easily.
Opposite me, Granny Cen still tried her best to persuade her to change her mind: "Miss, the biggest problem for you and me now is how to leave Moon Marsh alive."
"But don't I still have my mother-in-law to take care of you? Let's go find Zi Yin and Xiao Stutter together, and then -"
"Miss! You must understand that I can no longer rescue you in time at all times!" Seeing the other party's refusal, the old woman suddenly raised her voice, "If the situation like that happens again in the future, Miss may have no choice but to
Rely on your own strength to survive. If you learn to breathe, you will be much safer even if you are no longer around."
The girl failed to hear what the other party said, and was already preparing for the worst case scenario. Grandma Cen was slightly startled, realizing that she had almost spilled the beans, and quickly changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this for now. Continue.
When we come down, we should change our route to the west and try the road over the Qingying Mountains."
"Mother-in-law, aren't we going to Lincang?"
"If we continue eastward, we don't know how many Kui Jiao we will encounter. There is still a long way to go before we reach Lincang. Unless we can sleep in the trees like birds, we will be dragged away by those water beasts after dark.
, I’m afraid I won’t have this good luck again.”
As the old woman spoke, she raised her finger and pointed forward. She saw that the body of the recently dead Kui Jiao had drifted farther away with the current. However, just around the body, dozens of huge figures appeared in the blink of an eye. They were hungry and unscrupulous.
They actually ate the corpses of the same kind on the spot.
"On this section of the road to the west, I'm afraid we will encounter many unexpected situations. But for now, we can only try our luck. As long as we don't disturb the things hidden in the mountains, maybe we can
We can live in peace..."
Seeing the crimson churning in the water in the distance, Granny Cen couldn't help but mutter to herself worriedly.
