Heaven's Formula

"But I can't leave Wei Wushuang and the others alone and escape alone." Xia Fan said in a deep voice.

Li was silent for a moment, "... If you really want to deal with the evil spirits head-on, it's not like you have no chance."

"Have you thought of a countermeasure?" He asked quickly.

"The risk is not low, and your cooperation is required."

But at this time, Shangguan Cai had already fought with Xie Chong, she seemed to have learned Yue Feng's lesson, she would change positions every time she made a move, so as not to give Yuan Gui a chance to catch him.She is clearly an alchemist, but her style of play is more like a warrior in battle. All her qi is used to strengthen her strength and speed. When the tip of the spear collides with the blood crow's forearm, sparks will even burst out. .

This woman actually blocked the two evil spirits from the edge of the candlelight by herself.

However, as Li said, once the situation is not good, the blood crow will retreat to the area covered by darkness, waiting for the wound to heal.

The alchemist's energy and physical strength are limited.

"Forget about the risks, tell me about your plan." Xia Fan couldn't help urging.

"To put it simply, you have to give your body to me."

What, at a time like this?His heart skipped a beat.

However, Li's extremely serious tone made him quickly realize that his thinking was not correct.

"The blood of the blood crow can't really control your will, it just cuts off the connection between you and your body. This is why once a person dies, he will no longer be affected by darkness." The fox demon said quickly, "But if your Doesn't the body belong to you? Blood Crow would never have expected that a person who has been imprisoned by dirty blood would be able to move again."

Xia Fan has faintly realized what she wants to do——

"Kanshu can create illusions, and can also charm the mind. The ultimate manifestation of the latter is to be manipulated by the caster. The problem lies in the will of the practitioner—as long as the alchemist resists, it is difficult for this technique to achieve [-]% effect. Li Weiwei paused for a moment, "So if you want the plan to come true, you have to give up resistance and completely let go of your defenses. Only then can I control your every move."

Chapter 61 Thunder, Fire, and Thorns

"Understood, come on." Xia Fan nodded.

"..." The fox demon was stunned, "Did I say you don't think about it anymore? If I make a mistake, or take a step slowly—"

"But you will go all out, and I know this." Xia Fan sighed after finishing speaking, "We have known each other for the first time, why do you still doubt yourself? Mutual trust is not what partners should do ?"

Li felt his chest was suddenly entangled with something, a little stuffy and tingling.

Yes, why would I say such a thing?

Because I have never believed it before, can I really gain the trust of human beings?

But now a high-ranking alchemist is willing to be controlled by a shady fox demon, and put himself in danger when he can't act independently. If this can't be called trust, then what else is it?

Li bit his lip, "In that case, I hope you are ready—"

After she finished speaking, she held Xia Fan's cheek and pulled it towards herself.

The two immediately stuck together face to face.

So close!

Xia Fan even felt that he had touched the tip of the opponent's nose.

But the next moment, his attention was completely attracted by the other party's eyes.

"Hanshu is the base, attracting the soul!"

In an instant, Xia Fan felt that he had fallen into her eyes—it was a bottomless vast sea, and countless colors rushed towards his face. He seemed to see the topological network composed of nerves and myelin sheaths, and it seemed that I saw the sky full of stars made of air.When all the visions gathered into golden pupils again, he realized that he was still in place.

Xia Fan moved his five fingers hesitantly, and his body quickly executed the instructions of his brain.

"Failed?"

"No, the technique was successful. I've already planted a wedge in your consciousness, which can be activated with just one thought."

"Then didn't I become your marionette?" He pretended to be relaxed.

"You asked for it." Li glared at him, "Don't worry, the effect of the spell is only once, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, there will be no chance to do it again. I think you should know that the first element of alchemy is what?"

"Think about it."

"That's right, any control over the body will not hinder you from conceiving spells. Prepare your strongest spells and introductions, and I will hand them to their proper positions. Go!"

Xia Fan stopped talking, turned around and rushed in the direction of Shangguancai.

At this moment, she has blocked the second round of the blood crow's attack, and her breathing rate is obviously much faster than before.Although Wang Renzhi and Wei Wushuang also participated in the battle, their role was better than nothing. If it wasn't for Shangguancai's amazing strength, the two of them would not have survived at all.

Therefore, when Xia Fan reappeared, everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed—even though he couldn't reverse the unfavorable situation immediately, one more person is always more strength.

However, what stunned the three of them was that after passing by the fire area, Xia Fan kept walking, and rushed directly towards the female ghost hiding in the shadows.

"Brother Xia, stop quickly, it's dangerous there!"

"Hey, are you courting death!"

Shangguan Cai tried to stop him, but the distance of the gun barrel was a few inches short.

In the blink of an eye, Xia Fan stepped into the darkness.

Then he trembled all over, and stopped in front of Xie Chong.

"This is really the end..." Wei Wushuang couldn't help closing his eyes, not wanting to witness the tragic death of his fellow countrymen.

But Xia Fan, who was in the center of everyone's eyes, had a different feeling.

When he knew that his next actions had nothing to do with his own thoughts, those unnecessary fears and panics all disappeared. What occupied his mind was the repeated steps of casting spells.The high level of concentration allowed him to clearly capture every movement of the evil spirit, including its hideous face exposed under the cloak, and slowly raising its dry and slender forearm...

Undoubtedly, as long as the bone scythe fell on him, splitting into two would be the best ending.

He felt the passage of time slow down.

But...has Li really controlled his body?

What if she failed to activate the Kanjutsu, or was disturbed by the foul blood?

Did she desperately remind herself behind her back to cancel this plan?

Although the fear was gone, distracting thoughts gradually emerged—it seemed to divide the brain into two halves, one half was used to prepare alchemy and keep a close eye on the enemy, and the other half was used to think wildly.

But no matter how slow time becomes, it is only a moment after all.

"hiss--"

Accompanied by a hoarse scream, the blood crow swung down its arms like twin sickles!

Xia Fan felt that his breathing was stagnant.

move!

Hey, can't really go wrong?

Until the bone scythe was less than an inch away from his head, and he could vaguely smell the blood on it, the perspective suddenly changed!

Unconsciously, instead of retreating, he took a step forward and pressed against the opponent's belly pocket.The blade of the scythe almost brushed the back of his head, slicing the girdle over his head.

The tightly tied long hair spread out immediately.

Probably did not expect that this supposedly fatal attack would be ineffective, even the female ghost was stunned for a moment.However, Yuan Gui had already reacted first—probably smelling the scent of flesh and blood, its ugly head poked out of its head, and opened its bloody mouth at Xia Fan.

And Xia Fan—or Li's response was more direct.

She directly "reached out" and pushed Yuan Gui's head back into the bag, and at the same time sent in a small copper wire pendant.

At the same time, Xia Fan saw that his other hand had already clamped the talisman on his fingertip.

There will never be a better opportunity than now——

He yelled in his heart!

Shock technique returns, thunder!

A large amount of air gushed out, together with the primer and the talisman paper, it turned into the power to move the heaven and the earth.

The thick electric light traveled back and forth in the night sky, and finally hit the ground with an unstoppable posture, engulfing the blood crow in an instant!

……

Is that what he meant by "improved alchemy?"

It seems that the story of his success in the scholar examination that he repeatedly nagged before was not all big talk...

Li looked at the blurred figure covered by the wild dance of the silver snake, and his chest throbbed again.

She probably knew what was haunting her.

It was a thorn of distrust, which was gradually formed over time.

Just because it has been entangled with my heart for too long, I gradually got used to its existence and took it for granted.

Now, it starts to peel off.

It is precisely because of the peeling from the solidified flesh that new pain is created.

Li closed his eyes, letting the pain flow in his chest.

She didn't know what would become of her heart if this went on, but she decided to accept it.

……

Everyone in Gaoshan County heard this dry land thunder.

In front of it, even the night has to retreat three points.

When the dazzling white light faded, local residents took to the streets one after another, looking at the direction where the lightning fell.

"Is this Master Immortal Master eliminating evil spirits? It's so powerful!" It was the voice of a child.

"What fairy master, you want to collect money."

"Shh...be careful." Someone covered his mouth.

"But the thunder is too loud, we have never seen such a scary dry thunder!"

"Me too, I feel the house shaking a few times."

"Hey, it seems that evil spirits are not easy to deal with."

"I hope that Gaoshan County can last a while longer after the end of this removal..."

This statement was echoed by most people.

Although they didn't want to see the alchemist from the Privy Council, since the incident had already happened, they could only let it pass as soon as possible so that their lives could get back on track as soon as possible.

……

In the mansion at this time, the high temperature brought by the lightning strike had already ignited the entire roof of the room.

Just like that night in Qingshan Town, the raging fire will soon spread along the roof and walls until the whole house becomes a huge furnace.

The power of the triple technique was greater than Xia Fan expected, so much so that his ears were buzzing now, and a shallow pit was even cut out on the masonry ground in front of him.

As for the two ghosts, only a charred remains remained.

"It turns out that Luo Qingqing was right that day, you were the one who completely knocked down the devil..." Wei Wushuang looked at him in shock, "Brother Xia, when did you master the shock technique to such an extent?" gone?"

"Uh, when Master and I were wandering, we happened to encounter a lightning strike wood..."

"Even if you can pick up the lightning strike wood, you can't release it in front of that ghost, right?" Wang Renzhi's expression was equally astonished, "I want to ask, how did you manage to cast spells in the shadows?" ? Shouldn’t it be impossible to move?”

Instead, it was Shangguan Cai who rescued him—she hugged Luo You'er with both hands, and scolded them, "I'll talk about it later if I have anything to say, didn't you see it's on fire?"

Only then did the two come to their senses, supporting each other and walking towards the door.

Xia Fan and Shangguan Cai followed closely behind and left the fire scene together.

Chapter 62 Inquiries from the Privy Council

Followed by an overnight drive.

Compared with the fast-paced arrival journey, the return journey will be much slower - because Luo Youer's injuries are serious, they can only call in a horse-drawn carriage to transport them; at the same time, considering that the medical level in Gaoshan County is obviously not as good as that of Jinxia City, the sooner the injuries are The better the treatment, so nocturnal travel becomes the only option.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong along the way, and Xia Fan and his party arrived at Jinxia City smoothly when the sky turned pale.

The next step is to notify the Privy Council.

The government messenger who was in charge of handling logistical matters quickly picked up Luo You'er.On the way, Shangguan Cai had roughly checked her injuries, and concluded that her ribs and arms were broken—especially the parts directly hit by the evil spirits had already swelled up, and an ordinary person would probably need amputation.But for the alchemist, as long as she is treated in time, there is a high probability that she will recover as before.

This also made Xia Fan slightly relieved.

He was also very curious, where did Shangguancai learn his pistol skills and his way of fighting without using alchemy at all.

The latter answered that he had served in the Daqi army.

Those who can train in the army at this age before taking the military examination are definitely not ordinary soldiers. Even if her family background is not obvious, she is at least a general.

"Master Xia, Master Yuan, who is in charge of the command department, asked you to come in and ask questions."
