The Exorcist

Chapter 33 Spiritual Fight (Part 1)

Ruan Zhan walked down the tower step by step.

Outside the tower, the fog has approached the tower. The originally gray mist has now turned black, submerging everything like ink, and exuding bursts of bloody smell, making those inside feel as if they are trapped in a boundless nightmare. .

Ruan Zhan calmly opened the tower door and immediately felt a bone-piercing cold wind blowing straight at him. The feeling was not only cold, but also had an indescribable sting, as if countless steel needles in the wind had pierced his skin.

He didn't panic, but just like dusting off the dust on his body, he flicked his hand on his chest and immediately pulled out an invisible thing from his body. He recited a few spells silently and watched coldly as the transparent mist in his hand turned into a charred hand. At the same time, he drew a Nine-Dragon Bone Transformation Talisman with his other hand, letting the ghost hand move from the center of his palm. There was a big hole, and no matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't escape the fate of disappearing into nothingness like melting!

ah--

A cry came from the black mist, but Ruan Zhan was the most ruthless in battle and ignored it at all. He formed a protective barrier around himself with the Void Drawing Talisman, and then stepped out of the tower door.

There was no wind in the air, but the black mist was rolling violently as if being blown by a strong wind, tightly wrapping around the outside of Ruan Zhan's barrier, constantly trying to break in, making a 'bang bang bang' sound. This brought huge resistance to Ruan Zhan, making him feel like he was sailing against the current. Every step he took was quite difficult. He frowned, concentrated his strength on one palm, pushed forward, and walked forward with difficulty, as if pushing an invisible but extremely heavy door. However, after a while, blood oozed from his face. Sweat.

He knew that it would be detrimental to him to fight like this, because he knew very well that the resentful spirits were not only united, but also advanced and retreated in an orderly manner under the command of the resentful spirit that possessed Xiaoxia's body, although they were not able to set up formations. Kill yourself, but the color of the mist and the aura contained in it prove that the resentful spirits are working together and are desperate.

It was pitch dark all around, and he couldn't see clearly where he was going, but based on his feeling, he felt that he was in the middle of the lake corridor. This is not a safe distance and may threaten the safety of the tower itself during a fight. But despite this, it still gave him room to expand outward.

So he stopped, supported the barrier wall with one hand, and reached into his arms with the other.

As soon as he made the move, the surrounding black mist shrank rapidly and retreated a little distance from the outside of the barrier. It was obvious that the resentful spirits were very taboo against him. This gave him a second to prepare more fully, and then he suddenly retracted the barrier and at the same time threw the things in his arms into the air in the order and direction planned in advance.

In an instant, streaks of red light flashed in the air, and dozens of talismans stayed in the air, echoing each other, forming an invisible net above his head. Although surrounded by black mist, the red light and talismans The force seemed a little weak, but it was enough to push the mist back three meters away.

He drew those spells when the supervisor was unprepared. At that time, he had no talisman paper in his hand, so he took advantage of tying up Mao Fu to tear up his white shirt, and then hastily painted them with his own blood. This was how he defeated Mao Fu. The reason why Mao Fu stayed in the darkroom for so long. Because of this, the power of this spell was reduced, and it was only enough to support him for a while.

It must be resolved quickly!

Thinking of this, he raised his hand and waved a palm thunder, hitting the center direction. Wherever the blue electric sparks flashed, accompanied by screams, a crack opened in the black mist, like a gap in the black curtain. But this only happened for a moment. Before Ruan Zhan could clearly see what was behind the black mist, the mist merged into one again.

Seeing this, Ruan Zhan said nothing and continued to call the palm thunder and fire hand seals to the black mist. The direction of his swing was uncertain, but one move would create a gap in the black mist. Although the gap would close immediately, his continuous blows caused screams in the mist. Obviously, Many resentful spirits were injured under Ruan Zhan's palm, and the thick black mist gradually became thinner. In some places, there were even some small hollows, like a whole piece of black cloth, because it had been stored for too long. It looks like it has been eaten by insects, it is so fragile that it will break into pieces if you pull it!

His continuous attacks had unknowingly forced the black mist to the edge of the lake, exposing the square tiles in the square! He knew that it was a safe distance, and he could fight at will without worrying about destroying the soul-suppressing tower, so he seized this opportunity and moved forward, keeping his hands moving while quickly approaching the lake.

As he walked, the talisman on his head followed his path as if consciously. As the distance lengthened, the dense talisman in mid-air became sparse, and the red light became fainter. Fortunately, the light was weak but not extinguished, the black mist became much thinner, and the bright space expanded a lot, making it less oppressive.

Ruan Zhan walked to the lake, stood still, stopped what he was doing, and secretly adjusted his breath.

It would be impossible for him to completely dispel the mist with the Thunder Palm and Fire Hand Seal. You must know that using this kind of magic will also consume his skill. If he continues to use it, he himself will not be able to hold on at first. The reason why he did this forcefully was to push the battlefield further away and create a space that was relatively uneroded by the fog, which would be beneficial to his next move.

Although these resentful spirits are afraid of his little magic, they are determined to fight with him at this time. Although they have no magic power, they have sky-high resentment and crazy revenge. In addition, there are so many of them that they go forward one after another. No one is injured by him. When it arrives, new resentful spirits will appear, seemingly endlessly, so it is not easy to deal with.

"Fight, why don't you fight? No strength left?" A woman's sarcastic voice sounded from behind the thick fog.

"You can come and try." Ruan Zhan used his bare hands to perform a strange trick with his left hand, and his right hand rested on the pulse gate of his left hand.

"Xinxin, fight him!" an old voice shouted, looking extremely angry.

Only then did Ruan Zhan learn that the female ghost who had taken over Xiaoxia's body was named Xinxin.

"Third uncle, don't worry, he won't last much longer. We have a lot of energy to waste with him. After all, he is a body of flesh and blood, what else can he do!" Xinxin laughed contemptuously, with a high-pitched voice. When she smiled, the other resentful spirits also laughed. Suddenly, ghosts were crying and wolves were howling all around, and a dark wind was blowing.

Ruan Zhan knew that this was the resentful spirit named Xinxin putting psychological pressure on him, but who was Ruan Zhan? He had dealt with much more dangerous scenes than this, how could he be affected by these little tricks!

He faced the black fog from which the words came out, his deep gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the thick fog. He twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled handsomely, but did not utter a rebuttal. But in the eyes of Wraith, not only did he not feel timid, but he was instantly impressed by his confident and arrogant attitude, and felt strong pressure from him!

The two sides faced off like this for a while. Xinxin felt that his momentum was about to weaken, and immediately shouted, "Don't be afraid of him, he is cheating! His injury has just recovered, and he can't jump for much longer. No matter what today, Our blood feud must be avenged! And he hurt so many of us, and he even attacked with fire, so we can’t let him go!"

She was so emotional that she immediately incited the resentful spirits again, and the howling of ghosts and wolves started again in the square.

"You've killed so many people, forget it. Don't these killings count as revenge?" Ruan Zhan said calmly.

"Don't cry like a cat and a mouse is pretending to be compassionate!" Xinxin yelled, "If it weren't for that Yue Xiaoxia, would you have come to this town? Does anyone know what we have suffered, and who will redress our grievances? God is not long. Eyes, we were wronged into the sea, but the evildoers were allowed to go unpunished, and we became heroes in the eyes of the townspeople. Where is the justice?"

"Yes, we seek justice ourselves!" a man's voice shouted.

"Isn't that enough?" Ruan Zhan still showed no emotion, "Of the culprits or their descendants, only Reporter Ma is still alive."

He tried to make the two sides less antagonistic. After all, these evil spirits were just victims in the beginning, and they had killed many people. However, he did not mention Zuo De, who never saw people alive or dead bodies.

"Stop, hatred will only make your souls restless," he said.

"Don't preach, you are not the one who was wronged! Let me tell you, our revenge is not enough!" Xinxin smiled gloomily, "Everyone involved will die, including you and Yue Xiaoxia!"

"Why? She has nothing to do with this!"

He is not afraid of death and knows that he will definitely fight Sima Nan, but he wants to rescue Xiaoxia. He believes that Wan Li must be waiting outside the city to cooperate with him. When the time comes, he will leave Xiaoxia in Wan Li's hands. Even if he dies at the hands of Sima Nan, he will feel at ease.

"Because the people who helped us asked us to exchange the bodies of you and Yue Xiaoxia for the mastermind!" Xinxin said bitterly, "The mastermind must die! Otherwise we will never have peace!"

As soon as she finished speaking, various angry shrill tones rang out in the mist, repeating the words 'the mastermind must die'!

Ruan Zhan felt clear in his heart.

Sima Nan is really scheming! On the one hand, he cracked the Feng Shui formation that suppressed the resentful spirits and tried to resolve their resentment, and sealed the empty city with a barrier, cutting off the resentful spirits' contact with the outside world, and blocking their access, so that they could only rely on him; On the other hand, by controlling Feng Yongzi and Mao Fu, he brought the participants or their descendants to this new town, but specially kept the mastermind, Mayor Yuan, so that he could use this most damning person. Someone comes to force the resentful spirits to serve him!

Sima Nan wanted to kill him, but was unwilling to do it himself, so he took advantage of these resentful spirits who were desperate and just wanted revenge. Sima Nan used Mayor Yuan as the sweetest bait, making the resentful spirits willing to sacrifice everything to exchange for his death for the mastermind! Even if it doesn't work out in the end, if he still wins, he will be exhausted and even seriously injured. Then Sima Nan will easily defeat him, humiliate him, and get rid of him!

In addition, he felt that Sima Nan must have other tricks. For example, let’s take the issue of dealing with Xiaoxia.

If Sima Nan only wanted Xiao Xia's body, the resentful spirit would have killed Xiao Xia a hundred times long ago, without the trouble of first occupying her body and then pouring her soul into the little porcelain doll. And if he really targets Xiaoxia, he can do it himself. But he didn't, because he knew very well that Xiaoxia was of great use value.

Xinxin must not have told the truth completely. Sima Nan must have asked the resentful spirit to kill him, but wanted Xiaoxia to live. Because he was guarding against the worst outcome - that is, he not only defeated the resentful spirit, but also retained the ability to fight Sima Nan. In that case, Sima Nan will use Xiao Xia as a bargaining chip to contain him, and use Xiao Xia to make him surrender!

Also, Sima Nan didn't just want him to die. Death doesn't mean anything to a person with psychic abilities like him. Sima Nan wanted to completely eliminate him and make him disappear into ashes, as if he had never appeared in this world!

This is in line with Sima Nan's consistent style - make foolproof preparations, use all available people, and drive out all opponents!

Thinking about this, Ruan Zhan felt a little happy in his heart, because it meant that Xiaoxia's physical body would be safe for the time being. However, he still decided to act according to his plan in advance. No one knows whether Xinxin will take risks in order to protect himself in the end!

"Let's make a deal, I'll give Mayor Yuan to you, and you let Yue Xiaoxia go!" Ruan Zhan suggested.

Xinxin didn't expect him to say that, and was stunned for a moment, but her third uncle suddenly shouted, "Stop trusting people, and stop talking nonsense to him, kill him!"

This third uncle seemed to be a very authoritative person during his lifetime, and his words were particularly motivating. So as soon as he said these words, the surrounding environment immediately changed dramatically. The black mist was only rolling slightly, but now it is raging. It rose up like a black wave, threatening to eat Ruan Zhan alive!

Ah woo——

Xinxin screamed in a strange tone, and saw the thin black fog surrounding Ruan Zhan quickly gathering in the middle. Gradually, the fog was no longer all over the sky, but revealed the gray sky and the square bricks under his feet. On the ground, a black wall about three or four meters high formed in mid-air around Ruan Zhan, as if a rope of fog trapped him firmly in it!

The two sides faced off again, but this time the atmosphere was extremely tense and on the verge of breaking out. Because this fog rope concentrated the power of all the resentful spirits, it looked particularly gloomy, dark and heavy. It covered Ruan Zhan condescendingly, making Ruan Zhan look like a small boat in the angry sea, as if he would be swallowed up at any time!

Ruan Zhan stood still proudly, shaking his head regretfully, looking at the two figures under the fog rope, feeling a little helpless. One of those two figures is 'Xiao Xia' and the other is 'Zhao Jiayuan'. Obviously all the resentment formed by the resentful spirits is controlled by the two of them. This proves that they are the most resentful among the resentful spirits. As long as they are defeated, they will be defeated. There can be a truce.

"What can you do now?" 'Zhao Jiayuan' smiled excitedly, but because the spirit and body were not compatible, his voice and expression could not express his emotions at the same time, and the smile on his face was very twisted, weird, and even more weird and eerie.

"Haven't you heard a sentence?" Ruan Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Catch the thief first, capture the king!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly strode towards the two 'people', staring at them without blinking. The cruelty and coldness in his body frightened 'Zhao Jiayuan', and he didn't resist for a moment. He took a step back and hid behind Xinxin.

Xinxin never thought that Ruan Zhan would act at his word, but she was obviously calmer and more resentful than 'Zhao Jiayuan'. She was stunned for only a second, then waved her hands forward and shouted, "Kill him!" "

Wusuo was like a beast ready to move, waiting to devour its prey, so when the 'beast tamer' Xinxin gave the order, he immediately swooped down crazily with the power of thunder!
