Ling Qingzhu took a step forward and stood next to Ke Yimeng, looking at Yin Zheng warily and said: "Yimeng, look carefully in front of you, there are so many people fighting for you, if you give up first, wouldn't they be there?
Sacrifice in vain?”
Perhaps Ling Qingzhu's words had an effect. Ke Yimeng gradually recovered from his dazed state and looked at the guards who were still fighting.
At this time, Ling Xue and Jiang Xingyuan also moved here while killing the ghosts, and said: "Qingzhu, Mr. Jiang will protect Miss Ke, can you contain Yin Zheng?"
"Okay." Ling Qingzhu nodded and responded.
As soon as the words fell, the two of them rushed out at the same time.
Ling Qingzhu rushed straight towards Yin Zheng, while Ling Xue rushed towards the nine bonfires lit for the bonfire party.
Seeing this, Yin Zheng immediately felt the vitality lingering on the guard sword in his hand, pointing towards Ling Xue: "Soul skill, shadow killing technique."
"Don't think about it, do you think I don't exist? Three-stage slash!" Ling Qingzhu's mission is to contain Yin Zheng, so naturally he won't let him get what he wants.
Since the focus of the attack was not on Ling Qingzhu, and the ghosts blocking him would be chopped into pieces before they could get close to him, Ling Qingzhu was still able to get closer to Yin Zheng step by step.
The most important thing is that Ling Qingzhu is still holding Lu Lian with one hand at this time, otherwise she can increase her speed even faster.
As Ling Qingzhu approached, Yin Zheng had to devote more energy to deal with it, which made others feel much more relaxed.
Seeing the direction in which Ling Xue moved, and based on Yin Zheng's actions just now, Lei Ming also realized the key to breaking the situation, and immediately shouted loudly.
"Brothers who are still alive now, let's do our best to help Miss Ling, break out of the siege of these ghosts, and put out the bonfires around us. This is our only hope!"
A bonfire was put out together, and Ling Qingzhu could clearly feel that the ghost shadow blocking him had become much weaker.
However, at this time, Yin Zheng gave up on guarding against Ling Qingzhu's approach, and instead focused all his attention on Ling Xue.
After all, Yin Zheng still has the cultivation of the fifth level of Pulse Condensation Realm, which he has stayed at for many years. His accumulation is extremely rich. By virtue of his own strength, he can still hold his own against Ling Qingzhu in close combat.
Ling Qingzhu felt relaxed, but Ling Xue felt uncomfortable and soon fell into a dilemma.
"Yin Zheng, I didn't expect that you look like a decent old general, but your methods are so insidious."
Even though he was holding the sword with one hand, Ling Qingzhu still suppressed Yin Zheng over time and almost cut off his head many times.
But every time at this time, Yin Zheng instead attacked Lu Lian, who was hugged by Ling Qingzhu with one hand, so Ling Qingzhu could only defend himself.
"Haha, this is a tactic. Fighting must be fair and aboveboard. Miss Qingzhu, although your talent is good, your thinking is still too naive." Yin Zheng laughed hoarsely.
"puff."
Even in the middle of the battle, the sound of a sharp blade entering flesh could be heard clearly.
Ling Qingzhu was distracted and saw a figure standing in front of Ling Xue with a giant shield, but his body was penetrated by several shadow daggers through the shield's protection.
But compared to Ling Xue, who was unable to even stand up due to the excessive load of her martial spirit, Xue Lei's injury was nothing at all.
The more the bonfire was extinguished, the less powerful the ghost became. Finally, with the combined efforts of the guards, it didn't take long for the bonfire to be extinguished to the last place.
At this time, the ghost's strength has been weakened to the extreme, and its body has become transparent, which is no longer enough to pose a threat to the guards.
Although the task of containment was not completed, the final result was finally achieved. Ling Qingzhu also hugged Lu Lian and retreated, facing Yin Zheng from afar.
But Yin Zheng still lowered his head and did not meet Ling Qingzhu's eyes.
The guards were already very tired, and the relaxation after the disaster left their hands and feet unable to lift their strength, but because of the hatred in their hearts, they still managed to gather together.
"Old thief Yin, you are really able to keep your composure now. As expected, you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. However, even if you want to go on your own, my dead brother may not be convinced, so let me give you a ride."
Let's go." Lei Ming walked out and stared at Yin Zheng coldly and said.
Even though Yin Zheng was weak at this time, which was equivalent to facing a desperate situation, he remained calm and did not take Lei Ming's words seriously.
"Yin Zheng, you committed rebellion and killed countless colleagues. Now you are unforgivable. Prepare to be beheaded." Ke Yimeng has also undergone great changes. His weak heart has been put on a hard coat. He didn't care about the past.
His eyes that were gentle and kind to everyone turned cold.
However, upon seeing this, Yin Zheng's old face showed an imperceptible smile, and he said slowly: "I will bear all the blame for these crimes in the future, but now, it is not the time."
"It's almost time to end... The Phantom Disappearance."
Just when everyone was confused and alert because of Yin Zheng's words, the voice of Cao Xing'an, the long-lost steward, suddenly sounded in their ears.
The last bonfire was extinguished, and the darkness of the desert suddenly enveloped everyone. Only the moonlight could be used to see the ghostly figure emerging from the shadows again.
"Yimeng, take Xiaoxue and go first, I will take the rear." Ling Qingzhu quietly closed her eyes and made a decision immediately.
"No, Miss Qingzhu, please take Miss Qingzhu and Miss Ke Er and leave first. This old man won't live long, so I'll give you a chance to escape." Jiang Xingyuan suddenly stood up and expressed his objection, saying.
"Brothers' revenge has not been avenged. If Yin Zheng doesn't die, I won't have the nerve to live on." Lei Ming said.
Xue Lei handed Ling Xue to Ke Yimeng, and also stood over and said: "Brothers are almost out of energy. They may not be able to survive in this dark desert if they leave. It's better to fight for time here so that they can survive."
Chances of survival, Miss Qingzhu, you are actually strong and can protect Miss Second and Miss Ling, otherwise they might not be able to survive in the black desert."
"Okay, take care."
When facing other people's sincere kindness, Ling Qingzhu's calm and indifferent heart still couldn't help but have some ripples, but this did not affect her decision at all.
Ling Qingzhu retreated, guarding Ke Yimeng and killing the ghost in front of him with his sword, before breaking out of the camp.
…
I don’t know how long it took, but the dark desert sky gradually became brighter, and Ke Yimeng fainted from exhaustion while carrying Ling Xue on his back.
When no one is around and you are alone, the belief in survival will give a person strong perseverance. But if there are companions around at this time, you will unconsciously and subconsciously become dependent on you.
After Ke Yimeng fell into coma, all the ghosts that had been lingering around him disappeared.
These ghosts are nothing more than hallucinations caused by Cao Xing'an's martial spirit to arouse the fear of ghosts in everyone's hearts.
