When the boss becomes an attackable character

This dark and narrow space was bumping up and down.

Xu Xiaofei couldn't move. After being fed poisoned wine by Tang Xuanzhu, he was restrained with heavy hand, and even his consciousness was blurred for a while.

A fantasy like a flower in a mirror and a moon in water suddenly appeared in front of my eyes...

Dreamland II

The wind blows and the water sways.

The icy water in the twelfth lunar month is just a little cool to him.

He was half asleep and half awake, lying on the water, his ears filled with the sound of the waves crashing.

The smell of alcohol that had not dissipated lingered in his nostrils, as if he had drunk a lot, and his brain ached.What year and month, where are you?He doesn't care.

It probably drifted close to the river bank, and with the cool wind came the human voice.

"Did the man drown?"

"It's such a cold day, you've already froze to death, right?"

"God, a floating corpse!"

……

He still closed his eyes, lying motionless in the waves, too lazy to get up.

So what if the clothes are wet?So what if he was recognized as a floating corpse?The surface of the water was wobbly and weak, perhaps a little softer than the softest bed.

The chatter from the shore of the lake suddenly fell silent.

"Boom"

He seemed to hear the sound of someone falling into the water——

After a while, a hand wrapped around his waist, let him lean on his back, and swung his arms vigorously, swimming back.

His body hit solid ground and he was taken ashore.

Who is... meddling in my own business?

Drops of water fell from the man's cheeks and hair tips onto his face.

The man was breathing heavily.

My whole body was trembling in the cold wind, and my heart was beating faster and faster, and it became more and more chaotic.

With such a thin body, and the winter clothes covering his body seemed too thin, this man was afraid that he would have a problem with a full meal, but he still wanted to jump into the water to pick up a "floating corpse" he had never met before.

The man was still muttering something, but the voice was too weak for him to hear clearly.

He finally opened his eyes.

He had to open it, because he could feel that the person who rescued him was originally weak, and now that he came out of the icy water, the remaining fire of life would be extinguished almost immediately when the cold wind blew.Of course he must not ignore that this man died for himself.

"……It's you?"

He sat up, caught the man's precarious body, and when he saw his face clearly, he suddenly took a deep breath.

"Alive!"

"The person is not dead?"

……

The commotion from the crowd seemed to be far away, and he only heard the man softly say: "You really are not dead, you are not dead." It seemed that he was completely unaware of his situation, with a bloodless pale face. with a smile on his face.

"I knew you, you didn't die so easily..."

He was unconscious in his arms.

Xu Xiaofei woke up, he was still inside Tang Xuanzhu's cramped and dark magic weapon.

I was stunned for a long time.

Although it was a dream, he knew that it really happened.

The coolness of the water waves brushing over the body, the trembling hands of the man holding him, and the final smile that was both gratifying and miserable - the lips were frozen and turned blue, he recalled them all now, and it is still so clear.

"What a fool." He whispered dreamily.

In an instant, he almost forgot his current dangerous situation... Floating back to the dream of unknown age.

In the Spirit Snake Palace, Bai Fei stared at the strange visitor in front of him.

He held the token of his master—that is, Feng Xi, the previous high priest, and sent the legendary "Seven Treasures Heavenly Lotus Heart" here.

He frowned, and suddenly asked: "My master, how did you die?"

He could feel that as soon as this person stepped into the palace, the puppet master who was connected with him woke up from a deep sleep.There was an unstoppable tremor from the ground, as if the mood was hard to calm down.

On the contrary, Tang Xuanzhu looked calm and calm: "Feng Xi? How did he die? Why don't you ask him yourself?"

Although he knew it in his heart, he didn't want to mention it.At the beginning, the alchemy recipe of Tianji Pill no longer existed, and even the recipe of Earth Ji Pill was destroyed. His master avoided this like a snake and scorpion, and wanted to completely wipe out the Shen family, so how could these two pill recipes be left behind?However, he still found clues and pieced them together to make up a residual formula, and asked Feng Xi to deduce it to perfection for him.

Feng Xi put all her energy into thinking and painstakingly, and even her black hair turned white... Finally, she completed the formula of the Earth's Extreme Pill.He died of exhaustion.Before he died, he used his last spiritual power to calculate two hexagrams, one hexagram for him to see whether he could see Shen Jinglan again, and the other hexagram seemed to be for Feng Xi's own apprentice.

Even if he died because of himself, he was willing.

Bai Fei stared at Tang Xuanzhu deeply, and after a long time, Fang said, "Where is the 'Qibao Tianlianxin' you mentioned?"

Not long after Tang Xuanzhu left, Lin Yan also came to see him. He had already left Miaojiang and went to Zhongzhou.

Bai Fei looked at the person who had gone and returned, not showing much surprise.

"What's the matter with you?"

Lin Yan said: "That kid named Xu Xiaofei, the leader once asked me to take care of him, but my subordinates discovered that he was taken captive to Miaojiang, has the high priest ever seen him?"

"He's right here." Bai Fei said calmly, "He's the 'Seven Treasures Heavenly Lotus Heart' that's missing in the elixir of extreme earth. I'm planning to use him to make alchemy. Do you want to take him away?"

"He really is?"

"As Danfang said, the medicinal properties of Qibao Tianlianxin can turn crocus petals into blue. I have taken his blood to test, and it is true."

Lin Yan nodded: "That's another matter. Since that's the case, please ask the high priest to entertain me for a few more days, and I'll leave after the terrestrial pill is refined. If there is anything lacking in the fairy material, just tell me, and I will immediately Someone will bring it."

"Alright, you can stay for a few more days." Bai Fei promised.

Lin Yan was a regular visitor in the Spirit Snake Palace, so he hurried to a certain place without the priest leading the way.

Just now Bai Fei said that he is not needed to make preparations for alchemy, but Tang Xuanzhu is preliminary tempering Qibao Tianlianxin, if he is free, he can help.

As soon as he walked outside the room where Xu Xiaofei was being held, he heard voices.

"Is this something people eat? You treat guests with these ghost things?"

Turning into the house, he saw a large colorful plate in front of Xu Xiaofei. Looking carefully, there were snakes, scorpions, spiders, and centipedes all entangled and biting in the wooden tray, which looked daunting.

Tang Xuanzhu said: "This is indeed not something that people eat, it is just an auxiliary material for refining medicinal materials."

He then ordered the priest on the side: "Give it to him, and there is nothing left."

The priests obeyed, one locked Xu Xiaofei's arms behind his back, the other pinched his chin, one by one, stuffed the living poisons into his throat.

This taste must be extremely uncomfortable, Xu Xiaofei's face suddenly became extremely ugly.When the priests let him go after swallowing the last poisonous worm, he covered his mouth and retched.

Tang Xuanzhu said lightly: "If you like this, you can eat like this in the future."

Xu Xiaofei gritted his teeth tightly, his eyes showed anger.

The priest of Spirit Snake Palace stepped forward and said something in a low voice, but Tang Xuanzhu suddenly spoke again.

"People from the Demon Cult?"

Lin Yan knew that he was asking himself, and said: "Tianjue teaches Zuo Hufa, Lin Yan. Bai Fei said that you need manpower to refine immortal materials, so I will come to help."

Xu Xiaofei also looked at him in a blink of an eye, with a complicated and unspeakable expression.

"Guardian Zuo?" Tang Xuanzhu said, "How is your leader, how is the situation?" He didn't wait for Lin Yan to answer, and then said to himself, "It won't be much better if I think about it. Just wait until I refine this pill for him."

"Yes. Thank you, senior." Lin Yan said it gently and politely, and then smiled silently.

The other party's consciousness is already chaotic, so of course he couldn't see his smile.

He smiles lightly, and there is no fireworks, but usually when he smiles like this, the killing intent in his heart is already boiling.When Tang Xuanzhu's use value was squeezed out, he was determined to let this person die worse than anyone else, a hundred times worse.

Although Tang Xuanzhu couldn't see it, Xu Xiaofei saw it all.

His eyes flickered, and he didn't know what thoughts were turning.

"Stop gossiping, let's do it now." Tang Xuanzhu said.

With a flick of his fingertip, a green light came over.Lin Yan was held in the palm of his hand, and he inspected it briefly, it was a simple way to refine it.

Saying "It's ok", the two raised their hands at the same time, and thousands of strands of golden light, as thin as silk, rushed towards Xu Xiaofei's body, forming a cocoon of light, wrapping him in it.

Through the translucent light cocoon, one could clearly see the ends of all the golden threads pierced into Xu Xiaofei's body, which made him look extremely painful in an instant.The mouth opened, as if to exhale in pain, but no sound came out.

How can it be easy to bear the burning pain of the flesh!

This tragic situation made the priests of the Spirit Snake Palace unbearably avert their eyes.As for Tang Xuanzhu and Lin Yan, one couldn't see, the other had a hard heart, and they continued to invest their spiritual energy without showing any mercy.

When the golden light finally dissipated, Xu Xiaofei gasped violently, his legs softened, and he sat down on the ground.No scars could be seen on his body, but cold sweat had soaked his body.

"Go." Tang Xuanzhu said to the priest who was leading the way for him.Today's tempering is over, and he doesn't stay any longer.

They were gone quickly.

Lin Yan still stayed where she was, looking at the man who was sitting slumped on the ground in a state of embarrassment.

Xu Xiaofei also looked up at him, and suddenly smiled wryly: "I thought, I almost made you this friend."

Lin Yan said: "I thought so too."

"Who would have thought that... alchemy to save Shen Jinglan would use me. You are a member of Tianjue Sect, so you must also save your leader, right?"

"Yes."

"Must I?"

"It's not that you have to." Lin Yan said, "It's just that I don't know if the leader has any other heirs. His body can't last long and may change at any time, otherwise I will give you a chance."

He really didn't want to know how Xu Xiaofei got here.He always felt that he knew too little about the leader's past.

"Hahaha," Xu Xiaofei laughed out loud, shaking his head, "Even if you give me a chance, what do you think of me? In order to survive, you hurriedly find a woman to lay a litter for you? If Shen Jinglan was me The man I met in the cave, I like him very much, and being eaten by him doesn't seem to be that uncomfortable... But, have you ever thought about whether a hen can eat eggs if she knows that she is eating eggs? Woolen cloth?"

Lin Yan watched him.For some reason, he felt a dull pain in his heart... He really couldn't bear it.

After a long while, he slowly said: "It doesn't matter whether the hen can eat it or not, it won't be able to taste it after refining it into a elixir."

"That's right." Xu Xiaofei sighed.

After saying a few words, he finally regained some strength, supported the ground with one hand, and stood up.Suddenly, she staggered and fell forward, almost fell into Lin Yan's arms, Lin Yan stretched out her hand to support him.

Xu Xiaofei raised his head.He is so close to Lin Yan now, so close that he hears each other by breath.

He stared at Lin Yan with deep eyes, and said: "Before I die, I still have one wish, and there is only one, can you promise me? But depending on the situation, I have thought it over and over again, but I don't know How else can I escape from death, it seems that I am really doomed."

He spoke so sincerely, Lin Yan couldn't bear to refuse, and said: "You tell me, I'll make a decision."

"Let me see your true face." Xu Xiaofei immediately said, "I can't explain why, I always feel that you should be someone I am very familiar with and close to, and I always feel that there is a huge secret hidden in you..."

This wish is not harsh.

"Okay, I promise you. But it's not the time yet," Lin Yan said, "I'll let you see my true face just before you get out of the alchemy furnace."

"It's a deal." Xu Xiaofei smiled.

No matter how he feels in his heart, this smile is extremely brilliant.

Just like the brightest sunlight, and the flowers that bloom under the sun, can dazzle people.

However, under the brightest sunlight, darkness accompanies him—when Lin Yan saw his smile, he also saw an ice-blue water droplet appearing between Xu Xiaofei's eyebrows.His body froze, and Senhan's sword energy appeared out of thin air, hitting his back.

Lin Yan saw through his divine sense that this sword energy was spurred out by a sword-shaped magic weapon hidden in Xu Xiaofei's forehead, invisible and substanceless, but seemingly indestructible.

As long as Xu Xiaofei's hand moves a little, this is an absolutely fatal sword.

He realized that he underestimated Xu Xiaofei again—this person has a strange charm that can make people let go of their defenses unconsciously... But in fact, Xu Xiaofei's dexterity and response when he is in battle is definitely better than many people.

"What does this mean?" Lin Yan asked coldly.

"As you can see."

"You want to coerce me to let you go?" Lin Yan's voice was calm, "Can't you see that even if you kill me, it's useless at all. I'm not the only one who wants you dead. Tang Xuanzhu wants to get you The alchemy is dedicated to the leader, Bai Fei is obsessed with alchemy, and will not let go of this opportunity to refine a rare elixir, and they will never let you go. The same method can not be used twice."

"I understand, so what I ask is not that you let me go," Xu Xiaofei said, "I want you, let me see 'him'!"

"He?" Lin Yan asked, "Who is he?"

"Shen Jinglan." Xu Xiaofei said, "Of course it is Shen Jinglan, you must have a way to contact him."

"The leader is thousands of miles away. If you count on him to save you, you may not be able to make it in time."

"I don't need him to come in person, I just need to listen to him say a word." Xu Xiaofei smiled, "You don't have to pretend to be stupid and procrastinate. I know you can feel that this sword energy can't last long, and it will definitely last within a stick of incense. Dissipate, so I don't plan to delay it for so long. I just count to one hundred silently in my heart, and I will start from this moment."

This sword energy was naturally inspired by the magic weapon given to him by the elder brother Han Yue.The sword qi he accumulated during his daily sword practice burst out once, although the power is amazing, but it is also a source of water, the more he uses it, the less it will last for a long time.

Lin Yan sneered: "It's useless if you force me. He is seriously ill and urgently needs life-saving medicine. Do you think he will speak for you?"

"I don't know what he will say." Xu Xiaofei said frankly, "But he is still kept in the dark by you, isn't he? I must let him know about it. Even if he agrees to use me to make alchemy, I still want to hear He admitted it himself!"

He only met Shen Jinglan once, so he was so sure.

Why is he so sure!

Could it be that this is really a bond that originated from close relatives... a bond that outsiders can't imagine and can't reach?

Xu Xiaofei, who is he, and who is his mother?

In an instant, extremely complicated emotions surged up in Lin Yan's heart, resentment, jealousy, unwillingness, anger...but they turned into helplessness in the end.

"You know him well. If the leader knew that he was eating your flesh and blood, he probably wouldn't be willing. However, even if you kill me, I will never contact him."

He continued: "I have been searching for decades, tried many methods, and collected thousands of spiritual materials, but I still can't cure his disease. Now this pill is the most hopeful one I have so far. , Do you think I will fall short because I cherish my own life?" He smiled, "You can see whether I am telling the truth."

Xu Xiaofei's intention was firm, but his intention was even more determined.

Xu Xiaofei also sighed, and murmured: "I can see that you are very loyal to him. Fortunately, I also have another idea. Since you are his important subordinate, he will definitely plant a mark on you , once you are in danger of life and death, you will alert him to rescue you, right?"

"He never planted such a mark." Lin Yan said.

"Must have."

"Why do you judge, if not so what?"

Xu Xiaofei looked at him deeply: "I just know!"

He stopped, paused for a moment, and suddenly opened his mouth again, opening and closing his lips, "98, 99—", he counted silently in his heart, but he didn't stop.Before reaching one hundred, just counting to 99, he shot immediately.

The sword qi soared, and the murderous aura also soared. This was a counterattack, and it was a last stand. He urged all the remaining strength out!

The sword light soared into the sky and reached the peak of brilliance. This sword is not only a sword of killing, but also contains all the essence of his swordsmanship. He was originally an unborn swordsmanship genius. It was not until this sword that he truly showed his strength. His incomparable talent and talent in kendo!

Let him do it all over again, he may not even be able to use such a sword again.

Xu Xiaofei's mind was calm, he had already put all his attention into this sword.

Jian Guang rose extremely fast, breaking through Lin Yan's defensive vigor in an instant, but in Xu Xiaofei's eyes, this moment became extremely slow, making him suddenly think of many things.

He remembered whether it was a dream, the forgotten past, or the predicted future. He sat alone on a very high mountain, watching the sun climb up and then fall back to the ground.He can even feel the state of mind at that time.After day is night, after night is day.Today and tomorrow pass by in succession, the day after tomorrow... the day after tomorrow passes, it is 1000 years of loneliness.

In the next scene, he is in pain, as if all the punishments of the boundless purgatory were imposed on him at the same time.His soul, flesh and blood, spiritual power and everything he had once exploded, turning into nothingness and fly ash.

As soon as the picture turned, he suddenly saw the green field, the wind was calm, and he was walking side by side with the frail young man who had met twice in the dream. He turned his head, smiled, and said something to the young man.

The warmth of this scene immediately dispelled the extreme pain he felt in the previous scene.

Xu Xiaofei opened his eyes slightly.

He saw clearly the face of the young man in the dream... gentle and handsome, and after another flash, it overlapped with Lin Yan's face in front of him.

Maybe it's not exactly the same, but it also has a special feeling with him.

Who is that...

The murderous aura suddenly dissipated, and the sword aura also dissipated.

The time for a stick of incense hadn't come yet, it was he himself who lost the courage to break the boat and was unable to sustain it any longer.

He didn't dare to really kill him.

No matter how resolute he is, there is still a voice in his heart, stopping him, telling him that if the sword goes on, maybe the consequences are beyond his reach.This trace of weakness that came from nowhere stumbled his hand.

At the same time——

No one could tell whether it was a moment earlier or a moment later, Lin Yan, who was held hostage by Xu Xiaofei, turned into flowing water, flowing on the ground with a "wow".

Water like a split | body!

While talking to Xu Xiaofei, Lin Yan of course didn't stand still, secretly activated this technique, and replaced his real body with a water like avatar.

Lin Yan flashed not far away, raised his right hand slightly, and a long sky blue silk flew out, wrapping Xu Xiaofei's whole body tightly.With a flash of brilliance, Chang Ling disappeared.He knew that ordinary restraint methods could not help Xu Xiaofei, so he used the advanced secret technique of the water system.

Xu Xiaofei looked dazed and did not dodge at all.

Everything can never be done again, and he probably knows in his heart that there will never be such an opportunity again.

I... I actually let this opportunity go by?

But Lin Yan didn't know that Xu Xiaofei, who had a dazed expression, felt a turbulent wave in his heart at this moment.

It was a life-and-death struggle just now, and the other party was also an enemy who wanted to take his life. He thought that he would never fail to do so!

I'm weaker than I think I am... Have I ever thought highly of myself?

Courage and determination disappeared from his heart, and at the same time his confidence was taken away.

Xu Xiaofei always knew that he was not a cold-hearted person, but the sudden collapse of his murderous intent after he had made up his mind still hit him hard.

He flinched for a moment, and what he made was probably a fatal mistake!

Thousands of miles away on Mount Hua, Shen Jinglan, who was taking a nap in a residential house on the mountainside, suddenly opened his eyes.

"What happened?"

Lin Yan over there quickly responded: "It's okay. There was some danger just now, and it has been resolved."

The tone is still very calm.

"Be careful."

"Yes."

Shen Jinglan didn't make a sound anymore.Lying on the bed, he looked around in a blink of an eye, through the small window, he saw the lonely mountains and the withered trees, and his mood couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Is he hiding something from me again?

Lin Yan walked in the winding corridors of the Palace of Snakes.

The wide sleeves fell down, covering his hands.He still felt that a small spot on the back of his hand was slightly hot - because the spiritual power of the leader had just been transferred.

Xu Xiaofei's shocking sword still alarmed the leader.Fortunately, the follow-up was weak and did not prompt the leader to take action.Lin Yan also didn't want the leader to rescue her.

The leader is ill and needs to recuperate, so he cannot be bothered.If you can't handle everything properly, the leader will always worry about yourself, how can you take care of yourself with peace of mind?

Lin Yan thought again, the strange thing is that Xu Xiaofei actually knew that he had a mark left by Shen Jinglan.Although it is not difficult to guess, why is he so sure, as if he has seen it with his own eyes?

this imprint...

Lin Yan could hardly bear to touch the still hot spot on the back of his hand.

That day, the teacher asked him to stretch out his hand, then used his index finger as a brush, and the blood essence forced out of his fingertips as ink, and drew a few strokes on the back of his hand to form a vermilion talisman.

Lin Yan still remembered that the shape of the talisman was neat and tidy, like a small magic circle, with a round sky and a round earth, five elements and eight trigrams.

The leader looked at the talisman, and suddenly smiled again, with a mysterious smile and some inexplicable happiness, and said: "Wait a minute, it's not over yet." He covered his own with a slightly larger palm.When he moved his hand away, the neat talisman on the back of his hand had turned into a "Shen" character.

His Taoism has reached a high level, and he can grasp the essence and change the appearance of the technique.Although the appearance of the talisman has changed, its effect has not changed at all.

After the red light was created, the talisman drawn with blood essence faded on the back of Lin Yan's hand, and would not reappear until he encountered a fatal crisis.However, under Lin Yan's deliberate avoidance, this talisman is rarely used.

But the word "Shen" condensed in blood has been engraved on his heart forever, and he will never forget it again.
