Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Chapter 194: Shadows in the Fire

In the cave, green leaf cocoons formed by countless tough and thin grass leaves are continuously emitting a milky white glow.

The child inside frowned, his face somewhat painful. The green leaves wrapped around his body were slowly emitting mist-like gas, hazy and light, wrapping him inside.

The cold breath slowly seeped into Mo Hanyu's body, and his tender body seemed to have some changes.

At this moment, Mo Hanyu felt as if he was in an ice cave. The whole world was covered with ice and snow. He was so cold that his whole body and even every inch of his nerves were trembling.

He could vaguely hear the sounds coming from the outside world, but he couldn't do anything.

Even small things like shaking his fingers or opening his eyelids are impossible.

My whole body felt like it was poured with a bucket of ice water and then put into an ice cave. My body was completely covered in ice, fitting every inch of my curves without leaving any space, and I couldn't move at all.

He couldn't even do the most basic thinking now.

The unknown breath continued to surge into his body, the swelling sensation in his bones became stronger and stronger, uneasiness filled his heart, and the panic of the unknown made him more and more uncomfortable.

He could clearly feel the changes in his body, but the changes were too slow, just like a blunt knife cutting flesh, which made him feel heartbroken with each pass.

what to do……

What should he do...

After all, they are still young children. Even though they have experienced countless life-and-death battles before, they still can't help but feel fear when facing complete suppression.

He felt uneasy about the unknown future.

What should he do...

What is he going to do?

Mo Hanyu didn’t know, and no one could give him an answer.

Outside the cave, the silver-white spear swept up the surrounding air, the sound of dragon roars resounded through the sky, and the terrifying aura of destruction instantly swept across the entire land.

The mountain collapsed at this moment.

In just a moment, the entrance of the cave was blocked by the rolling rocks and sand. The whole mountain was in danger and shook ominously.

Dust suddenly rose up and the tip of the gun did not land firmly.

empty.

Qin Xiuyun felt something was wrong and just as he turned sideways to retreat, he was caught off guard and hit head-on with a palm.

The old man slapped Qin Xiuyun in the face, but fortunately Qin Xiuyun put the gun away in time and held it horizontally in front of his palm, so he was only knocked away a few dozen miles.

It was not until his body hit the cliff hard that Qin Xiuyun spat out blood and stood firm.

Before he could catch his breath, the old man appeared in front of him.

“Be careful…” The old man stretched out his hand, and the grass growing on the edge of the cliff began to grow wildly.

"—Don't hurt him."

The old man stood in mid-air, his voice low and his cold eyes looking down at the man standing precariously on the edge of the cliff below.

"You made quite a noise."

The old man cursed in his heart, fortunately he had wrapped the child up before and blocked the falling rocks, otherwise, with the collapse just now, the body would have been smashed to pieces.

"Are you going to kill that kid?!"

The old man questioned, and waved his arm. The grass and trees on the edge of the cliff stretched and retracted like tentacles, forming a sphere around them, and it seemed that Qin Xiuyun was about to be wrapped in it.

A white light flashed and the dragon's roar was heard again.

In just a blink of an eye, the tough grass leaves were ruthlessly torn apart. In the gaps between the leaves, the eyes were sharp and the tip of the gun flashed a dazzling light.

The old man snorted coldly and glanced in the direction he was just in with some hesitation. Fearing that he would be affected by the aftermath, he decided to move the battlefield here.

On the other side, the grass cocoon buried in the stone pile slowly emerged from it as if it had consciousness, cleared the rubble around the outer shell, and lay quietly on the sand and rocks on the hillside, still emitting light.

A long shadow suddenly emerged from the woods in the distance and slowly approached, but it did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, it cast wisps of shadows around it like a spider web, slowly covering the grass cocoon.

The whole process was extremely slow, as if afraid of disturbing the old man in the distance.

A slender figure emerged from the darkness. Wang Ji lowered his head and stared at the green cocoon in front of him that was more than a person's height.

My fingers slowly touched the outer skin. It was clearly wrapped by countless grass leaves, but I could not feel any gaps when I touched it. It was very smooth.

Wang Ji's eyes were dim, and a spider the size of a green bean suddenly appeared from his fingertips. Then it shrank several times in size and moved around the shell in the direction he pointed, looking for an almost invisible gap.

Moze?

Wang Ji stared at the green grass ball in front of him and frowned slightly.

It's so uncontrollable.

Although Qin Xiuyun had entered the Heavenly Realm for several years, he was still no match for the old man.

Mo Jian does have the upper hand over his childhood friend, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to get here soon.

The same goes for Ye Ningzhi...those people from Lei Ting can't pose any big threat to her.

But the old man couldn't.

Wang Ji could feel that even though he was dozens of miles away and just watching the battle from the outside, his heart would tremble uncontrollably.

They couldn't stop the old man.

Wang Ji made the decision.

According to his investigation, whether it is the rumors about Mo Ze or the curse passed down by the Mo family, it can be proved that he is not a good person.

They knew less than one ten-thousandth of him, but the stories that have been passed down about him already illustrate his threat and terror.

If it succeeds...

What if Mo Ze really resurrected...

His black pupils stared at the densely packed grass pupae, revealing a hint of murderous intent.

Uncontrollable...too dangerous.

He would not allow such a threat to exist.

You can't take this chance.

Wang Ji made the decision almost instantly.

Based on the old man's previous words and deeds, it can be known that if Mo Ze wants to be resurrected, he needs the child's body.

Even if it means death, it's okay.

Wang Ji put his palms completely together, and the shadows around him continued to grow darker. The moonlight above his head did not shift, but the shadows below him continued to spread.

If there is no way to rescue the child, then we have no choice but to kill him.

His deep black eyes stared quietly at the glowing grass ball in front of him—the black shadow had completely enveloped it, and fine shadow threads began to penetrate.

According to the old man's previous performance, resurrection requires a complete body, and if we want to stop him, we can't just kill him -

Do you want to dismember it?

The coldness that had been hidden in the depths of his black eyes finally surfaced, nakedly displayed in his pupils.

Wang Ji glanced indifferently at the distance where the fierce fight was going on, then turned back to look at Qing Jian.

The best thing to do now is to rescue the child before the old man finds out.

but……

Wang Ji tightened his fingers.

These grass leaves were extremely sensitive, and the old man would definitely notice if he made any movement.

Killing him or destroying the cocoon and then rescuing him, which one is faster and less risky?

Wang Ji frowned. The black shadow had penetrated into the grass leaves, casting countless shadows around Mo Hanyu.

If he wanted to, split Mo Hanyu into hundreds of pieces in an instant would only take a thought.

Mo Hanyu seemed to sense the crisis, frowning and sweating profusely.

The dense murderous aura surrounding his body was like a huge spider web, binding him inside and making him unable to move.

Who will...

save him?

The cold and brutal murderous aura made him feel no vitality at all. Whether it was the swelling blood just now or the threat to his life at this moment, all made him extremely desperate.

Who will——

The hot breath suddenly surrounded him, and in just a moment, the cold murderous intent was burned away without a trace.

Outside, Wang Ji stepped back violently and avoided the legs and feet kicking towards him.

The scorching flames instantly enveloped the two of them. The heat was coming towards them, and Wang Ji had to take a few steps back to distance himself from it.

When the flames dissipated, only a girl of about seventeen or eighteen was seen standing in front of the grass ball, looking at him in surprise and suspicion.

Wang Ji was stunned.

The girl had a pretty and unfamiliar face. She was wearing a black outfit, had a petite figure, and had long black hair tied tightly at the back of her head, which appeared a bit red under the moonlight.

Wang Ji frowned slowly.

He hasn't seen her.

——My God, what does he want to do? !

Nangong Huaxue recalled the scene he had just seen, and his eyebrows couldn't stop twitching.

If I'm not mistaken, he wants to kill the child, right?

Absolutely, right? ! ! !

"...How cruel! It's not good to have such a strong desire to kill." Nangong Huaxue yelled at him. She seemed to be complaining, but her body was always tense to prevent him from attacking again.

"who are you?"

Thunder's?

Wang Ji smiled as if in spring breeze, secretly guessing in his heart.

"Do I have any obligation to tell you?" Nangong Huaxue frowned and took a step forward to block him.

Wang Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, and the shadow on his palm spread.

In that case, there is no need to say more.

He made a judgment in his mind, and the shadow under his feet expanded several times in the blink of an eye, submerging the area within a few miles.

At the same time, the girl's fist ignited with flames and swung towards him.

“——Stop!”

Nangong Huaxue said sternly.

"That depends on how you plan to stop me." Wang Ji turned his head, and the wind from his fist mixed with flames almost ignited his hair.

Wang Ji narrowed his eyes, the warmth of his smile gradually faded, and a hint of displeasure appeared in his eyes.

Earth Realm...

Some trouble.

But why did he feel that this woman was suppressing something?

Wang Ji dodged the scorching flames by leaning sideways, then turned around and slapped them out with his palm.

The brighter the fire, the more dark shadows it will breed.

The blazing fire could not stop the shadow's progress, and its owner was obviously aware of this, so she came as close to him as possible, forcing him to focus all his attention on her, leaving him no time to pay attention to the situation around him.

Wang Ji originally planned to make a quick decision and get rid of her directly. But after a few contacts, he somehow fought with her for a few moves, avoiding her vital points.

Why……

Wang Ji gradually began to have doubts in his heart.

Are all of this person's attacks just targeted?

There were several times when I had clearly touched his vital points, but he chose to retreat.

This caused his plans to fail several times.

Is it because I am too sensitive to it, or is it just like that?

Wang Ji frowned slightly, and grabbed her wrist with his backhand during a fight. The shadow flowed out from his fingertips, and just as it penetrated under the skin, she shook violently, twisted her arm without hesitation, and broke free from his hand at the fastest speed.

The girl took a few steps back to create some distance, her dislocated arm hanging limply, but she twisted her shoulder strangely, turning it at an angle that a normal person couldn't do, and her arm immediately recovered.

Was it a deliberate dislocation and repositioning?

Wang Ji frowned slowly. He was so cruel to himself...

wrong.

Wang Ji slowly looked at the palm of his hand. The feeling of blocking his tendons and veins just now was still at his fingertips.

Very familiar feeling.

Wang Ji's eyes narrowed, and he slowly looked at the girl opposite who was massaging her wrist.

Can't go wrong.

He had explored this vein and this pulse countless times.

Can't go wrong.

Thinking of this possibility, the smile on Wang Ji's face completely disappeared, replaced by a gloomy look.

His eyes changed completely, staring at her coldly without any warmth.

"……Why?"

Why are you stopping me?

Why do you have to look like this?

Wang Ji had seen the emperor's disguise skills before, so he was neither surprised nor disgusted by her ability to transform into other people, but this time was different from usual.

Why stop him?

Did she know who he was doing this for?

She resolutely stood against him...

Wang Ji's face was gloomy, and he started thinking unconsciously.

Which side is she on?

Is it simply because you can't stand the fact that he killed such a young child?

——I hope so.

Wang Ji's eyes became increasingly darker.

He really didn't want the second possibility.

So he stood there, without making another move, just looking at her quietly, waiting for her answer.

"Ah? Why?" Nangong Huaxue was stunned, not understanding.

She didn't realize she recognized it.

Wang Ji's eyes moved and he slowly closed his eyes.

"Someone's gone over there!"

At the same time, the old man who sensed the movement here ignored Qin Xiuyun's attack without any hesitation and turned around to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

Qin Xiuyun shouted to stop, and the Silver Dragon Spear had already reached behind the old man.

"…No, there's no time."

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

Everything around him slowed down. Qin Xiuyun's pupils contracted, and his heavy breathing echoed in his ears. The old man in front of him slowly turned around and raised his hand very slowly.

Obviously——it looks so slow——

——But he couldn't keep up.

Just like a balloon that suddenly bursts after being squeezed, the powerful storm suddenly blows away everything around it, and deep holes appear on the ground. The cliff rocks on the side are deeply sunken, and the grass and trees are flying, leaving nowhere to hide.

Qin Xiuyun was suddenly thrown out and his body flew backwards uncontrollably.

Oops!

Qin Xiuyun secretly thought that something was wrong and tried to swing the gun again, but he was unable to move because of the wind pressure around him.

I thought I would continue like before until I bumped into something and stopped.

Unexpectedly, a hand caught him.

A warm palm slapped his back, and with irresistible force, it caught his flying body steadily.

"who--?!"

Qin Xiuyun was startled. A strange breath instantly overwhelmed him. He turned his head and happened to meet a pair of dark eyes.

The deep black pupils stared at him, as if confirming whether he was injured.

"--Who are you?"

Qin Xiuyun asked the question instinctively, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. After coughing a few times, he found blood in his saliva.

Qin Xiuyun could feel the man's gaze fixed on him, and he looked at the bloody corner of his mouth, but said nothing.

The man did not answer. After Qin Xiuyun stood firm, he flew towards the old man without looking back.

Qin Xiuyun frowned.

Such a familiar feeling.

That look...

"What's wrong? Are you okay?"

A delicate cry was heard, and Qin Xiuyun looked up to see Ye Ningzhi appear above his head, covered in blood.

"…No, are you okay?"

The blood on Ye Ningzhi's body looked really scary.

"Ah? It's okay... This is not my blood." Ye Ningzhi was stunned at first, then explained.

Qin Xiuyun nodded: "Let's go."
