After being picked up by Daxian

"It seems that you are the half of the power that the oil lamp is missing."

Xue Jiang narrowed his eyes slightly, and became more and more vigilant in his posture and movements.

The half-faced snake man didn't speak, but saw the oil lamp in his hand floating up, trembling violently, exuding purple-black devilish energy continuously.

At the same time, the power of the half-faced snake man also began to surge, exuding a powerful demonic energy, which made them back again and again, unable to attack forward.

When the two stood still, the half-faced snake man just closed his eyes tightly, and his face became paler and weirder.

The oil lamp no longer floated, and was firmly grasped by him on his right hand, but the faint purple-black aura emitted was stronger than before, and seemed more threatening.

Gusts of evil wind blew, making his clothes rattle.And his legs under the black clothes had turned into a huge Xuanlin snake tail at some point.

The half-faced snake man suddenly opened his eyes, which had turned into slender snake pupils.

"The lamp is me, and I am the lamp."

As soon as the words fell, strands of resentful souls flew out of the lamp, accompanied by sharp crying and laughter, flying towards them from all directions.

Hengqing and Xuejiang were pressed by the resentful soul with soaring magic power step by step, and they were back to back unknowingly, struggling to deal with the attack of the resentful soul from all directions.

"This monster is so fierce... After being integrated with this oil lamp, its power is even stronger than before."

The Xiao Yin played by Hengqing became more and more hasty, and Xue Jiang was also struggling to deal with the monster's attack. He wanted to carefully observe the monster's flaws, repeat the old method, and hit the weak spot.

Just as he was about to hit the back of the oil lamp with his sharp claws, a swift purple-black light ball hit him. Xue Jiang was caught off guard, but unexpectedly withstood the attack, stepped back again and again, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"...!"

Seeing that Xuejiang was injured, Hengqing felt anxious, but she was powerless.He had to channel more spiritual power while playing, and the resentful souls who were trying to get close to the snow fell into the air with screams in an instant.

"Want to use the same method? Too naive, how could it be possible for you to succeed."

The half-faced snake man flicked his sleeves lightly, and saw that the back of the oil lamp was close to his waist and abdomen, and there was a whirlpool in the waist and abdomen that continuously emitted purple-black magic energy, as if it was absorbing something.

I saw that the resentful soul that was scattered by Xiao Yin just now was absorbed back into the vortex in an instant.

It turned out that those resentful souls that were scattered by them did not dissipate completely, but were used by him again and turned into more intense demonic energy.

"Damn it, it turns out..."

Xuejiang wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stood up again, but compared to the composure before, his movements were slightly sluggish and heavy.Obviously, because of the attack just now, his body has been affected.

"What is this weird vortex?" Hengqing looked at the resentful souls that had been crushed by herself before being reabsorbed by the half-faced snake man in a blink of an eye, and the terrifying devilish energy was continuously generated, and her heart became even more anxious. endlessly.

"Hiss... The most difficult situation in front of me is nothing more than this. Did you hear what the monster said? The lamp is him, and he is the lamp... This monster must have been bound together with the oil lamp in the first place, and the two coexisted and coexisted together." death, inseparable."

When Xue Jiang was speaking in secret, one of them was inattentive, and was rubbed against his sleeve by the demonic energy, leaving a long gash, and faint bloodstains appeared on the skin inside.

"And this kind of vortex can only explain one situation, that is, the connection between souls and spirits. But, who is it that released this monster..."

"Soul connection?!"

Hearing his words, Hengqing couldn't help being surprised.The ancient method Xue Jiang mentioned has been lost for a long time, probably only the immortals in ancient times have seen magic weapons made by this ancient method.

The connection between souls and souls is an ancient secret method in the demon world, and it is also an extremely sinister and venomous curse.

The cursed person will bind the cursed person to the magic weapon that already has a soul, and he can only be trapped in the magic weapon for the rest of his life. , and eventually became the most evil magic weapon.

Originally, this curse originated from a sinister spell created by a witch in the demon world in order to avenge her lover who betrayed her.

Then this secret method began to be used by other monsters in the demon world, refined into different magic weapons, to help themselves increase their strength, and to harm innocent people.

Later, when the power of the fairy world flourishes, these monsters will be wiped out and suppressed together, and all the magic weapons will also be burned together.

This ancient curse secret technique was also lost, and the magic weapon linked with souls never reappeared in the world.

It's just now, why is there such a magic weapon that no longer exists in the world...

"Hengqing, from now on, don't crush those resentful souls, and try to preserve your own spiritual power. This is a war of attrition, so before we find his flaws, we should preserve our strength as much as possible..."

The two tacitly dodged the attack of the resentful soul, trying to resist him with the least amount of strength.

The ghost-faced snake man saw their plan, but sneered a few times: "Do you think it can be dragged on like this?"

And the snake man's next move made their pupils dilate uncontrollably, and their whole bodies trembled suddenly.

I saw a ghost with a green face and fangs that was still baring its teeth and claws, but was actually grabbed by the half-faced snake man.

Faced with the resentful soul's begging for mercy, the snake man didn't pay much attention to it, but showed his sharp fangs, and actually tore off the head of the resentful soul, chewed it without changing expression, and swallowed it raw.The devilish energy lingering throughout his body also skyrocketed even more.

The headless wraith who was still struggling suddenly let out a terrifying devil cry.And the gap in the head of the resentful soul was still overflowing with a strong purple-black devilish energy.

Hengqing was so frightened that she took a few steps back again and again, almost not daring to look directly at this cruel act.However, Xue Jiang quickly calmed down and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"This monster swallows resentful souls alive, and he is quite courageous... However, in this way, his power will be stronger, and our situation will be more dangerous. shot."

Although she didn't know Xue Jiang's intentions, Heng Qing still obeyed Xue Jiang's words, and only used Xiao Yin to control the attack speed of the resentful souls, and didn't attack them.

However, although he has been trying his best to avoid it, Xue Jiang's response has become more and more difficult in the face of the ghost-faced snake man whose strength is constantly increasing, and he has to protect the balance behind him.

A moment of inattentiveness, a resentful soul rushed straight towards Xuejiang, actually biting Xuejiang's arm.Xue Jiang felt the pain and threw him away, the resentful soul dissipated in an instant and was absorbed by the snake man.

"Snow falls!"

Hengqing was anxious, and hurriedly pulled away Xuejiang's sleeve, only to see two rows of tooth marks appeared on her arm.

The wound had turned bruised and purple, and a faint purple-black devilish energy was overflowing, which was clearly a sign of devilish energy entering the body.

When the half-faced snake man saw this scene, he just said indifferently: "The devil's energy has entered the fairy body, I'm afraid it's uncomfortable? Why bother struggling with this, you two might as well give up early, and I won't pursue it anymore, each Peace."

Heng Qing wanted to stop Xue Jiang behind her, but Xue Jiang held her tightly and protected her behind her.

"Hengqing, don't be affected by that monster's words. You still stand behind me, protect yourself, and don't move around."

"But……"

Heng Qing looked at Xue Jiang's pale face and the cold sweat that kept dripping, but she was not convincing at all.Just when he was about to forcibly break free, he heard Xue Jiang's whisper.

"Look carefully at the monster and see what changes around him."

Hengqing looked at the half-faced snake man, and felt that the devilish energy in his body was increasing instead of decreasing, and it was getting worse, but he couldn't see anything unusual.

"It has not weakened at all, but it has become more and more difficult..."

"Yes, this is the effect I want."

Due to his injury, Xue Jiang's movements became slightly sluggish, and he became more and more cautious, carefully avoiding the continuous attacks of the snake man.

Hearing Xue Jiang's words, Hengqing frowned. "……What's the meaning?"

"As the saying goes, things are always reversed. In order to increase his strength, this demon forcibly absorbs resentful souls, and even swallows them alive. Although doing so, his magic power will skyrocket in a short period of time. But even a magic weapon cannot withstand too much magic power ..."

"You mean to say..."

Hengqing opened her eyes wide, and just when she was about to continue asking, she heard a "poof", and saw dark blood spots on the ground, which actually spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"What's going on..." The magic power in the body kept churning and surging, becoming uncontrollable.

The internal breath of the snake man also became disordered. Under this rapid and severe pain, the speed and strength of the attack dropped sharply, and he spurted out a stream of blood.

While the half-faced snake man was thinking about it secretly, Xue Jiang said: "All along, magic weapons feed on resentful souls. Absorbing resentful souls is your instinct, and it is also a way for you to enhance your own strength. However, in a short time Absorb too many resentful souls, and the power is difficult to absorb and digest, there is only one result, which is to be backbited."

"If you just stop absorbing power, that's nothing. However, backlash will not only affect your ability to control your own power, but also forcibly break through your tendons and destroy the inside of your body because of the uncontrollable power of resentful souls. The reason why Dealing with you is also to wait for the opportunity."

Xuejiang coughed a few times, although his complexion looked sick, his eyes were as white as white.

"Now, the real battle has just begun!"

After saying that, a few beams of sharp blades flashed by, and those resentful souls who were still baring their teeth and claws just now disappeared in a blink of an eye, accompanied by unwilling cries.

An ice blue light beam shot out from Xuejiang's palm, splitting the place where the snake man was standing.After the flat ground under his feet was split, the half-faced snake man almost couldn't stand, and fell into the huge gap.

The demonic energy in his body continued to overflow, and the clear Xiao Yin made his breath even more disordered, causing him to have a splitting headache.He couldn't control the violent power in his body, let alone fight back.

The half-faced snake man was forced to retreat step by step in embarrassment, so he had to block the attack in vain.However, his blocking is tantamount to using the arms of a mantis as a chariot.

Faced with this inevitable predicament, the half-faced snake man finally gritted his teeth and took out the torch that Rong Jing gave him earlier.

The moment the torch was ignited, a blinding white light flew out and shot straight into the sky. The light was so strong that it almost broke through the dense night.

"Now, who do you want to ask for help?"

Xue Jiang concentrated his energy and was about to stretch out his hand to end the life of this monster, but he felt that the immortal power in his body was exhausted, and the icy blue brilliance from his fingertips was also fading away.

With a sudden jump in his heart, he raised his other hand. The silver ring on the middle finger had lost its luster and was now dim and gray.

The author has something to say:

Half-faced Snake Man: Well, chicken flavor, crunchy...

Resentful soul: ah... (poor)
