Flame red

Master Lu ran to the balcony to look at Yan Hong and Snake Woman who were confronting each other on the top of the building, squinted his eyes and told Mu Yu that the one possessed by Yan Hong was a highly skilled hozen, and the exorcist from the Jian family ran away I haven't caught it for three years, very cunning.

As he spoke, Mu Yu caught a sharp glimpse of a light flashing towards him in the dark night beyond the balcony.She quickly shouted: "Get down!"

Master Lu subconsciously rolled to the side following her words, and then heard a gust of wind blowing something from the balcony to the kitchen with a bang.Along the way, the cups on the tea table and the glass door of the kitchen were smashed to pieces, like silver frost all over the floor.

Afterwards, a scattered black mist slowly fell into the living room from the balcony, and there was a sound of gada gada in the mist, and then, it floated twice, turning into the shape of a snake woman.

——If this cloud of black mist stands here so leisurely.The one that got knocked into the kitchen was...

Mu Yu was about to rush into the kitchen for a moment, but at the same time as this thought surfaced, he remembered what Master Lu had said, that Yan Hong is currently possessed, and if she approached rashly, she didn't know what would happen.She stared closely at the kitchen, gritted her teeth and told herself not to panic.

There was a noise from the kitchen, and I saw Yan Hong straighten up from the mess on the floor, his expression suddenly became more subtle, he stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, his shoulders trembled, and he regained his composure.

Then, she lowered her head and looked at her hand in disbelief, a dazzling red streak fell on the floor along her fingers.

The snake lady seemed to understand the unbelievable look on Yanhong's face, and explained slowly: "Humans are not as indestructible as we are. After a few bumps like this, the child's body may not be able to take it anymore."

Yan Hong looked up at her, her expression became extremely indifferent again, as if saying that this was not within her focus.However, in the next second, she rushed towards Mu Yu.

Mu Yu was taken aback by Yan Hong's speed and intention, and when he realized it, the other party had already grabbed her by the shoulder.Then, the talisman in Master Lu's hand came over, Yan Hong wanted to avoid it, but the snake woman sneered, threw a black mist, pulled her ankle, and fixed her in place.At the same time, Master Lu's spell fell right between her eyebrows.

Yan Hong let out a strange cry, and was about to flee.And Mrs. Lu had been prepared for a long time, a little paper doll flashed out of his palm, lightly turned into a white ape in the air, and slammed her against the wall.

The exorcist took several pictures of spells on Yan Hong in a row, and the hozen inside Yan Hong's body, no matter how strong it was, couldn't resist the attacks of so many spells, and it turned into a red smoke and flowed from her mouth.

The snake girl caught the hozen before it could take shape, and the black mist around her rushed up like a tide, immediately wrapping the red smoke into a ball.But it was obvious that there was something struggling in the ball, and it was colliding everywhere. The snake woman seemed to work hard to maintain the shape of the ball, and was almost broken several times, and finally pressed back.

Yan Hong knelt down limply on the ground, miraculously did not pass out, clutching her stomach with a painful expression on her face.Mu Yu picked her up immediately, and motioned to the door. Master Lu immediately understood what she meant, and while the snake woman was still suppressing the monkey, the white ape rushed towards the door. This time, it was very smooth. A door was knocked open, and the black mist in the crack of the door screamed and disappeared.

Mu Yu rushed out of the door with Yan Hong in his arms, Master Lu followed behind, pasted two crossed charms on the floor outside the door, and then turned into the safe passage together.

The snake lady was fighting with the hozen, and she was at a loss for time, so she could only watch them run away, snorted coldly, and clenched her fist with five fingers, the ball exploded with a bang, leaving a cloud of blood.

There is one thing that Yanhong has never understood, why did the snake mother know that she could help Mu Yu?Did he know it when he picked her up, or did he suddenly discover it after that?

And the old man is very sure that this matter must be Yanhong.

Mu Yu hid her in the utility room of the safe passage, on the grounds that she couldn't run fast with someone in his arms.

"Anyway, the target of that thing is me, as long as you don't get discovered, nothing will happen." She told Yan Hong like this.Then he took off his coat and put it on her.

Yan Hong's whole body was in excruciating pain, seeing that man's eyes were downcast, she understood the other party's determination in her heart.She knew that she couldn't stop Mu Yu from leaving alone, so she could only sigh. "Mu Yu, do you want to live?"

"I want to live." Mu Yu nodded. "So I won't die." She smiled again, sliding her fingertips across the red face, and then lowered her hands.

"Well, good." Yanhong smiled. "I think Master Lu can protect you well." He clearly said about Master Lu, but he didn't look at the exorcist next to him.

Master Lu vigilantly observed the movements around him, and after confirming that the Snake Woman would not come chasing him for a while, he said, "When this thing is settled, I will take out the inner alchemy. I have been recuperating for a while now, so it shouldn't be too late now." It needs to be done in a violent way."

"Is there a gentler way?"

"Probably..." Just as he was about to explain, Master Lu suddenly listened intently to the movements around him. "She is coming."

Mu Yu didn't stay for long, and stood up. "Let's go."

Yan Hong sat there obediently, watching them leave the utility room one after the other, and then the door was gently closed, and the surroundings were plunged into a thick darkness, and she couldn't see her fingers.

She felt sleepiness flowing into her consciousness, reached out and touched the collar, remembering that she had thrown away the purple jade.But before Master Lu used cinnabar to write an unknown word on the back of Yanhong's neck, which was said to temporarily prevent her from being possessed.

"I will let you live." Yan Hong said to herself like this.Reaching out to touch the pocket of Mu Yu's coat, he found his cell phone.

Master Lu took Mu Yu and ran downstairs from the safe passage, and then came to the garden of the community.On the night of the New Year's Eve, there were still many young parents taking their children to relax, Mu Yu muttered that I didn't wear a mask.

"Let's not worry about what time it is now." Master Lu said dumbfoundedly, then took her hand and turned into the basketball court where there was no one around.

You can go to the back door of the community after passing the basketball court. Mr. Lu said that he parked the car at the back door and got in the car directly.

Mu Yu followed behind him, and looked at the building behind him in a blink of an eye. An obvious black mist was spreading from the window of the corridor to the outside.She said, "Just escaping like this is not an option."

"The hozen just now couldn't handle the black mist, but it can delay it for a certain period of time. We probably need someone who is comparable to the hozen, or something."

"You can't." Mu Yu threw out a sentence subconsciously.

Master Lu smiled wryly. "I know that my practice is not enough, please don't break it."

"However, let's talk about such things." Mu Yu's eyes lit up as if thinking of something again. "I probably know someone who has."

"Really? Who?"

"My cousin."

In fact, Mu Yu had never really faced Li Long, but when the snake demon occupied her body, he could vaguely feel the vibration of that chain.Some kind of creature that was on par with the monster that held Yanhong hostage, or even stronger, relied on Mu Xiangzhi's suppression and failed to show its true strength.

She had a feeling that if Mu Xiangzhi let go of the chain, Li Long might be able to deal with those black mist.

Later, they ran out of the community and got into Lu Fuzi's Chevrolet car. Mu Yu borrowed his phone to call his father, and roughly said that he had something to ask Mu Xiangzhi for advice, and got the phone number of that unfamiliar cousin.

Mu Xiangzhi lived in Wuzhi, and although it was the night of the New Year's Eve, he agreed to come down after hearing what Mu Yu said about the current situation. After agreeing on the meeting place, Master Lu turned the steering wheel and drove the car towards the river.

It was probably late, there were no other vehicles on the road, and there were not too many pedestrians. They ran through several red lights smoothly and came to the park by the river.

The agreed place was a dam under construction, and there was no one there. Mu Xiangzhi was standing there wearing a gray sweater and a school uniform. When Mu Yu and Mr. Lu got off the car, his face suddenly darkened, and he moved his hands behind them. With a wave, I heard a crisp sound of jingle bells sliding past, and an obvious black mist was bitten into two by something under the street lamp.

"Wow." Master Lu stared at the mist in surprise—or something entangled with the mist.Mu Yu couldn't see anything except the mist, so he didn't know that the huge Lilong was swallowing all the black mist into his stomach one by one with absolute advantage. Can't help it's sharp teeth like blades.

A series of street lamps extend along the riverbed to the center of the city, like a series of ever-burning lamps in a painting.Mu Xiangzhi rubbed his shoulders and exhaled a mouthful of white mist.

"Here we come." She suddenly whispered something, and then strode past Mu Yu to stand in front of them.Li Long spun around in the air, just in time to block a piece of black mist that surged like a sea wave.

At the same time, just like in the movie, the street lamps, which were like everlasting lights, flickered a few times and then went out one after another.The surroundings suddenly fell into darkness, and in this darkness, only the neon lights of the city reflected on the river surface were particularly moving, like silent lights from another world.

A familiar dark figure looms on the sidewalk, old and faceless.

Mu Xiangzhi took a deep breath.

"Hmm." The snake woman sighed meaningfully, like some kind of praise. "Seeking help from Li Long is a good choice."

Li Long let out a long howl following her words.

But then the snake woman seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "Ah, fortunately you are Mu Xiangzhi."

Such a sentence again.

Mu Yu remembered that the monster said the same thing, as if Mu Xiangzhi hadn't held the chain, it would have been a catastrophe.And Mu Xiangzhi was obviously used to such words, he didn't react much, as soon as he let go of his hand, the chains rattled and rushed out, and Li Long also took the lead to go straight to the snake woman.

The Snake didn't dodge, countless arms grew out of the black mist, and they forcibly received the Li Long's attack. There was a bang, and the huge impact made a big hole in the sidewalk where the Snake was.

But even with so many big and small arms, they were no match for Li Long in the end, and he was thrown directly into the river.

The snake woman jumped lightly on the water twice, shattering the lights all over the river, and stopped in a piece of broken light.

Mu Xiangzhi didn't intend to give her a chance to rest, so when he turned his hand, Li Long twisted his body in the direction she was pointing, opened his mouth and rushed over.

"Humph."

The snake woman seemed to be smiling, but there was no smile in her voice.Then the black mist behind him was like an open carpet, covering Li Long's entire head the moment he rushed towards him.

Li Long twirled in the air, then plunged into the river with a crash.

The water was dark, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside. The chain in Mu Xiangzhi's hand was loosened and tightened, and the river seemed to be a big fish swimming fast, creating a icy wave.

"It's really difficult." Mu Xiangzhi frowned.

And not long after she finished speaking, she heard the river explode again, and the waves of water splashed on the embankment like a shower, immediately soaking their clothes and the surrounding street trees.

Li Long was entangled with a huge centipede in the air, and Master Lu's face suddenly sank.Just as he was about to say something, he saw Li Long nimbly wrapping the centipede around it, and was about to bite it down, when the centipede scattered and turned into a black lion, biting Li Long back.

Mu Xiangzhi carefully guarded against the change of the black mist, while Master Lu was watching it engrossed.Mu Yu focused his attention on his surroundings, just in time to hear the rustling of trees in the street around him.

"careful!"

She subconsciously shouted, and then ran towards Mu Xiangzhi.

Unbiased, she happened to be in front of a black mist, and the mist hit Mu Yu's chest directly, and she heard her lungs growl, and she didn't catch her breath in one breath.

Mu Yu was knocked and flew to the edge of the sidewalk, Master Lu quickly shot a spell from his hand, turned into a ball of fire to disperse the black mist, and then ran over to help her up.

At the same time, Mu Xiangzhi also came to his senses, moved a little far away, and saw a black mist slowly crawling out of the bushes, and then gradually transformed into a human form.On the surface of the water, Li Long was still entangled with the black lion, so it was impossible to get out to help.

"It's okay." Master Lu raised two little paper figurines in his palm to comfort them. "This is not the real body, not strong."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Mu Xiangzhi nodded and turned his attention back to the river.

The little paper man turned into a white ape again, and knocked the human figure into the bushes. It was so dark that it was impossible to see what was going on inside, only the sound of roaring and the breaking of vegetation.

Mu Yu coughed twice, his lungs hurt badly, but the burst of pain did not come from external force, but from the inside, as if he wanted to stretch his ribs, the pain was unbearable.

Soon after, the swelling pain even squeezed her heart, and she heard her heart beating faster and faster, as if she was struggling in vain.But the faster the beat, the pain deepened an inch, almost to the point of consciousness, rooted in instinct.

--what happened?

She thought quickly.The body was overwhelming, as if something was about to burst out.

Master Lu noticed that something was wrong with Mu Yu, he looked down, and then he was startled, "God! Don't separate the inner alchemy at this time!"

Mu Xiangzhi was also taken aback by what he said. "Huh?" She turned her head to look. "Did you just get hit?"

"Probably yes, I have been recuperating before, weakening the inner alchemy's protection, so I can't withstand such a bump." Master Lu anxiously supported Mu Yu to prevent her from falling down again.But the noise in the bushes made him dare not be distracted. "But separating the inner alchemy when the consciousness is so concentrated, even the toughest exorcist will be hurt to death."

"I've heard of it. Unless you knock her out immediately and stop the separation, the heart will be destroyed the moment the inner alchemy comes out."

Master Lu gritted his teeth, and stabbed Mu Yu's back with a knife. The strange thing was that Mu Yu just trembled and didn't respond.

He was taken aback, and tried again, but it still didn't work.

When Mr. Lu was about to try for the third time, there was a sudden ear-piercing roar from afar. He looked up and found a bright high beam breaking the darkness by the river, and came in front of them in an instant.With the sound of tires rubbing against the ground, a motor vehicle stopped beside Mu Yu.

Jian Xiangli jumped down from above, holding a syringe in his hand, and directly stuck it into Mu Yu's arm.Afterwards, Mu Yu gradually relaxed all over, took a deep breath, and finally spit out the air that he couldn't catch in his lungs, and supported the railing beside him, it seemed that the pain gradually eased.

Afterwards, Jian Xiangli didn't say anything, and patted Mu Xiangzhi's shoulder, holding a bloody rag in his hand, and wiped it on the chain unceremoniously.

With this touch, the black lion who was entangled with Li Long suddenly heard a scream, and half of the thick mane disappeared immediately as if it had been burned, and the whole body looked half thinner immediately.Li Long seized the opportunity and opened his mouth to bite, splitting the lion in half.

Half of it landed in Li Long's mouth and was swallowed, while the other half dangled and fell on the sidewalk, and then gathered into a snake woman, who seemed to be severely injured, struggling to stand up.

"impossible……"

The Snake Woman's voice was much blurred, and now it sounded more like a girl holding her throat.

Jian Xiangli didn't listen to her finished, and directly made two gestures to Mu Xiangzhi, and then rushed over with a stride. At the same time, the glass dragon in Mu Xiangzhi's hand began to spin around the snake lady, bringing the The wind and the smell of blood made Snake want to rush out, but as soon as she touched Li Long, the black mist on her body evaporated and disappeared like water vapor.

She let out a sharp scream, but before the cry came out, Jian Xiangli had already come to him, holding the bloody rag in his hand, and at the same time flashed out an indigo jade knife, the knife was also bloody, It hit her face and shattered with a snap.

The black mist started to scream, and then roared. It was difficult to maintain its human form amidst the roar, and it shattered like a collapse of mud and sand. Jian Xiangli finally shook off the blood cloth, wrapped up the remaining black mist, and swept it away. Knead, knead into a handful of cold air.

Mu Yu stared fixedly at the bloody cloth, and wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say it because the lingering pain hadn't completely subsided.
