I'm not a theatre god

"Lao Wu!?"

Seeing that the clown was still "evil-minded", the King of Clubs immediately stretched out his palm and grabbed the opponent's collar.

But the clown didn't even look at her at the moment. He rolled like a dog nimbly, huddled up and slipped under the hand of the King of Clubs. His movements were so flexible that the King of Clubs missed the opportunity again.

"Ehahahahaha..."

The clown laughed and rolled down the steps straight into a ball, at an extremely fast speed.

The veins on the back of Meihua K's hand popped out one by one. She suddenly clenched the handle of the sword in her hand, her aura rising steadily, as if she was really angry!

She took one step forward, her lips parted lightly, and her breaths resonated and overlapped in her chest. The next moment, her sharp and domineering voice sounded like thunder under the sky!

"It doesn't matter what a clown is like~ I can stop a million soldiers with one sword!!" (Note 1)

The sword in her hand was thrown with a roar! !

The moment the sword was released, a sonic boom exploded from the tail of the sword. Invisible air waves turned into rings and swung out of the air. As the blade split the void, bright red curtains emerged from it!

In the gray world, the color of the curtain shows a strange black color. They seem to come alive, surrounding the horse-killing sword and stabbing straight at the clown. Before the blade reaches it, the curtain reaches first!

The clown who was rolling down the mountain road seemed to have sensed the crisis. He suddenly stretched out a short foot and stepped hard on a certain step. He jumped into the air and accurately avoided the curtain like a snake!

"Eahahahaha!!"

In mid-air, the clown spread his limbs flutteringly, like a "big" character flying in the sky. On his face stained with white gray, his dark and narrow eyes flicked and locked on the red-clothed Chen who was very close at hand. Ling.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of red curtains came from all directions!

The clown's toes tapped in the void, and his short body was incredibly flexible. He was like an acrobat, flying in the air to avoid the pursuit of all the curtains, and forcibly broke out of the absolute blockade!

This scene also fell into Chen Ling's eyes. Even if he had the [Secret Eye], he couldn't keep up with the clown's movements.

He dances on the blade!

The short figure broke through the sky-wide curtain and fell straight towards Chen Ling. Even though Chen Ling's chest had been opened, he couldn't race with it under the blessing of [Blood Clothes]... The clown seemed to be agile. A monster full of dots and a gray face quickly zoomed in Chen Ling's field of vision!

"Lao Wu!! Stop!!" Plum Blossom K's angry scolding came from afar.

Chen Ling could see from the corner of her eye that the curtains in the sky were rolling towards her, and in front of them, a hand slowly stretched out, just a hair away from grabbing her head!

Chen Ling wanted to move, but it was too late. His speed almost stalled in front of the clown.

At this moment, several pieces of curtain wrapped tightly around the Harlequin's ankles and pulled him to a stop in mid-air. The Harlequin's small sesame eyes had widened to their maximum size, probably becoming the size of pearls. The white and gray face was so close at hand. The small face is like an image of the word "囧"...

His fingers gently brushed against the tip of Chen Ling's nose.

Chen Ling narrowly escaped from his grasp again and ran down at full speed, covering a distance of several hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

boom--! !

The sword fell from the sky, and the clown's body was smashed into the mountain, and smoke and dust rolled out of the sky!

Chen Ling broke into a cold sweat on his back. He had already left Chou Peak, his feet landed on the ground of the gray world again, and then he looked back.

At this moment, Chou Peak was trembling violently like an earthquake, as if someone was roaring and fighting in it. As soon as Chou Chou's figure jumped out of the smoke and dust, he was about to continue chasing Chen Ling, and was followed closely. The sword was smashed back into the mountain!

The sullen voice of Plum Blossom King sounded from the mountain:

"I don't know why Lao Wu went crazy... I can't hold him back for too long!"

"Chen Ling, you go first! Find the master!! Only the master can suppress him!"

"They are in the realm of mortals. If you really saw us back then, Master should be able to sense the mark on your body! They will come to find you!"

"Ula!!!" The clown bared his teeth and claws and rushed out of the curtain, but was suppressed by the club king.

"Go quickly!!"

Seeing this, Chen Ling knew that he could no longer stay here. His current audience expectations were simply not enough to be reborn. It would be terrible if the Harlequin really broke free from the King of Clubs and killed him...

What's more, Harlequin is the gatekeeper of Xidao Guzang. He doesn't agree to enter Guzang himself. Even if the King of Clubs wins, he has no choice but to wait at Chou Peak.

The only one who can break the situation is the mysterious master;

After Chen Ling figured it out, he turned around and ran in the direction he came from. A red dress flashed across the barren land, and Chou Feng retreated rapidly behind him.

At Chen Ling's current speed, Chou Feng would have disappeared in more than a minute.

"Damn it...why on earth did he want to kill me?"

Chen Ling couldn't figure it out at all. The people he had met so far in Xi Dao Guzang, whether they were the bottom corner or the king of clubs, had very good personalities. Only the clown would kill him when he came up... How did he offend him? Or is it because of something else?

While Chen Ling was thinking, her pace gradually slowed down and her body became heavier and heavier.

[Audience expectation +1]

"……Um?"

Chen Ling felt something was wrong with herself and looked down in confusion.

At some point, his legs were no longer able to maintain the previous running speed. The blessing brought to him by the [Blood Clothes] completely disappeared, and even the hollow wound on his chest that was slowly healing stopped...

[Audience expectation +1]

"Something's wrong...I'm..." Chen Ling muttered to himself, but before he could finish speaking, his mouth suddenly opened automatically!

"Ehahahaha!!"

After laughing loudly, Chen Ling suddenly covered her mouth, astonishment appeared in her eyes.

He looked around suddenly and found no trace of Harlequin. In such a short period of time, he should still be suppressed by the King of Clubs at Harlequin Peak... But this is him?

Chen Ling's forehead was dripping with sweat. He felt that his state was getting more and more strange, and his mental power seemed to be drying up. There was no response from [Blood Clothes]. He stumbled on the barren land, his body getting heavier and heavier. It seemed like... something was gradually draining his body.

At the same time, his face gradually became hot, as if something was about to grow!

[Audience expectation +1]

Seeing several lines of words outlined on the ground, Chen Ling suddenly felt something bad. He seemed to be able to see pairs of scarlet eyes staring at him teasingly in the void.

"Damn it... what happened to me? I... eh hahaha... is the trick of the clown... haha...?"

Chen Ling felt that his nose was getting hotter and hotter. As his mental and physical strength was exhausted, his consciousness became blurred...

At this moment, he saw a puddle on the black ground ahead.

He gritted his teeth and walked there persistently. His mouth was dry and he longed to drink water, but he finally reached the puddle and was about to pick up the water and take a sip when he suddenly froze on the spot.

Chen Ling's pale face was reflected on the sparkling water, and at the tip of his nose, there was an unknown trace of white dust...

"Ehahahaha..." Chen Ling covered her mouth tightly, her eyes filled with astonishment!

He was half-kneeling in front of the water, the breeze blew by, and the water surface shattered his features.

Like a "harlequin" in red.
