When the devil

Shen Feihuan had seen Taotie's ferocious appearance countless times in nightmares.

Shredding the body and crushing the bones, he never forgot the pain for a moment.

Now that Taotie had eaten Liu Ying, his mind was blanked by the sudden muffled noises. He watched Yu Hanfeng walk towards him and stretched out his hand like a friendly greeting. He knew he had to run away, but his legs and feet Resisting as if frozen.

He was thinking about many things in a mess, such as what to do with Bai Lie after Liu Ying died, how he should explain, how to get Bai Lie to forgive him.

These thoughts cut off all his thoughts when his life was hanging by a thread. If the sword light hadn't swept over Feixue and cut off the hand that was reaching out to him, he might have already become the prey of Taotie at this moment.

"Walk."

Bai Lie pushed Shen Feihuan away, the black demon pattern had spread over his body, the pupils were stained red with blood, the simple word "go" was so difficult to come out of his mouth.

Shen Feihuan shook for a moment and recovered.

Yu Wanfeng smiled, not flustered at all, but Bai Lie, his right arm was on the verge of festering, the blood was black, and had a pungent smell like rusty water, and the dim light spread along his feet, like a spider web The same layers are intertwined, forming a strange demon formation.

Shen Feihuan suddenly came back to his senses, he quickly realized that the demon power of chaos was infiltrating, he... he was actually using his own blood to draw a demon formation, in order to completely engulf Bai Lie and stay in the world.

"General—!"

How could Shen Feihuan leave?

He is gone now, there are two fierce beasts here, Bai Lie's chance of winning is slim.

Yu Wanfeng was also thinking this way, he didn't care about Bai Lie's situation, and rushed towards Shen Feihuan, but once again, the sword in Bai Lie's hand pierced his body, hitting his body and rolling into the snow.

"go!"

He yelled at Shen Feihuan almost hysterically.

Following his voice, Bai Li's short body jumped out from behind and hit Shen Feihuan heavily.

"Brother Shen, brother Shen."

Bai Li burst into tears.

"Daddy, Daddy will be angry... I, let's go..."

Are warm, fleeting and cold tears.

Shen Feihuan regained his senses as if he had been scalded. He picked up Bai Li and wrapped his fingertips around the wooden stake next to him with the steel wire.

There was only a soft sound of "嗖嗖" in my ears, the wind and snow continued, and the movement quickly disappeared. Bai Lie tried his best to press down on Yu Wanfeng, and the blood penetrated his hair and stained his pupils. In the dark night, he See everything with incredible clarity.

I saw the huge shadow spreading behind Yu Wanfeng, and saw countless white hands coming out of it.

He heard Chaos mocking, but his consciousness was blurred, and he couldn't distinguish the words more and more.

"Do you think I will obediently be your puppet?"

The purple demon formation is closed in the black mud.

The demon pattern climbed up the whites of Bai Lie's eyes, and slowly melted into the light in the blood-red eyes.

"Gaotie, you really pissed me off."

【Yudu Palace】

There was a furnace in the hall, but it was getting colder and colder. When Wei Ling entered the room, Zi Wan'er had just finished drinking the hot soup, and she was licking her mouth tremblingly, like a puppy that has made a mistake.

Wei Ling followed two guards and stopped outside the door. One of them reminded: "Your Highness said that you have to go back in half an hour. Please don't embarrass yourself."

"It won't take so long." With a wave of Wei Ling's hand, the open door merged with a "snap".

Zi Wan'er raised her head, her eyes were red, Wei Ling's face was originally cold, but she softened slightly after seeing her.

"It's all right." He walked to Zi Wan'er and rubbed the messy little head.

"I'm fine." Zi Wan'er pursed her mouth: "Brother, is that His Royal Highness a monster?"

Wei Ling: "I don't know either."

Zi Wan'er said quickly: "Will he hurt you? Should we find a way to escape?"

"No, he would have killed me long ago."

Wei Ling couldn't see what Gu Xuancheng was thinking, but where is the possibility of escaping?The people in the city are sleeping, and wild ghosts are rampant outside the city. No matter which one, Wei Ling can't go away.

What's more, there is still no news from Xia Zhou.

Zi Wan'er moved closer, holding Wei Ling with both hands: "Xia Mao Mao will definitely come to save us."

Wei Ling knelt down and let her drag her: "You were in Xiting Mountain today, did you see anything about Xia Zhou?"

Zi Wan'er nodded: "I see, I... have been there all the time, almost thought I was going to die."

"What did you see?"

"See..." Zi Wan'er was thoughtful, and then shook her head after a while: "It's too fast, actually I didn't see it clearly, Xia Maomao wanted to kill His Royal Highness, and then was wrapped in black things, Later, Xia Maomao suddenly appeared in front of me, I just remember that he seemed to push me, I suddenly couldn't see anything, and then... the black things disappeared."

At that time, Zi Wan'er was on the roof of the palace behind Gu Xuancheng, today she sneaked into Xiting Mountain, originally she wanted to see the queen's movements, but she did not expect to encounter this.

Wei Ling smiled wryly, following the dim flames in the furnace with his eyes: "No wonder, you are still unharmed within the scope of the gate of hell."

Ziwan'er tilted her head: "Did Xia Maomao save me?"

"He is 梼杌, and he coexists with the curse. He should have discovered you, so he chose to save you at the moment when the gate of hell engulfed you."

The cold wind blew the windows and rattled, and the room was slightly chilly.

Zi Wan'er's brows were frowned into small twists: "Could Xia Maomao... die to save me?"

Wei Ling shook her head: "The gates of hell can't kill him."

"But, but... If Xia Maomao is fine, why didn't you come to save us?"

Wei Ling couldn't answer Zi Wan'er's worried question.

With Yue Erzhen dead, Xia Zhou lost his contract, and the demon sealing formation covering Yudu would continue to consume his demon power. For him, the longer it dragged on, the more difficult it would be.Today, according to Gu Xuancheng's meaning, when the dawn breaks, it is the time when the human world and the demon realm are cut off. No matter whether it is a lonely soul or a demon or a ghost, it will become a fish stranded under the scorching sun. If the contract cannot be revived before then, Either perish or return, no matter which one will separate him from Xia Zhou.

Is this what he's always wanted?

used to be.

Even when he returned to the human world from the demon realm, this was a possibility he had been trying.

"Brother, you said tomorrow, will everything really get better?" Zi Wan'er was pitiful.

Wei Ling regained her senses, and then patted her head: "Yes, I will think of a way."

After saying this, he stood up. Since Zi Wan'er was fine, he felt a little relieved. Now he has more important things to do. If it is true as Gu Xuancheng said, then tonight is the deadline for him to settle his grievances .

"elder brother."

Seeing that Wei Ling was about to leave, Zi Wan'er sat up straight and hurriedly said, "You must find Xia Mao Mao...he will definitely not leave us..."

Wei Ling smiled, turned her head to look at Zi Wan'er's tearful face, and said softly, "Yes, I know."

The Demon Sealing Formation in the city is not stable, the soldiers are scattered, and the atmosphere is very strange.Some corpses were lying in the corner and eating the corpses of living people. Occasionally, they could hear calls for help, but the wind and snow were too heavy, and they couldn't find their way.

Shen Feihuan hugged Bai Li and chopped up some of the corpses in front of him. He was good at light work, and it was difficult for him to climb over the city wall, but he didn't expect that the city would be in such a state of desolation. Seeing the miserable situation everywhere, Shen Feihuan felt Very unpleasant.

Bai Li was very quiet, she didn't speak or cry, she seemed to be asleep, until Shen Feihuan landed on the roof of a restaurant, kicked open the window and went in, and heard the snoring of the residents inside, Bai Li raised her head cautiously: "Here is it safe?"

"It's not safe." Shen Feihuan took out a knife.

"Brother Shen, what are you doing?"

"kill."

"But…"

Shen Feihuan never liked to explain, but Bai Li next to him looked at him with a pair of pitiful eyes. In desperation, he said softly: "Although these people have fallen into an irreversible sleep due to the enchantment, there are too many crooked ways in the city. It's best not to trust anyone."

Bai Li stopped talking, and just stared blankly at the knife in Shen Feihuan's hand. For some reason, Shen Feihuan always felt that the knife in his hand was extremely heavy. He looked down at the sleeping civilians, finally put the knife away, picked it up The fist punched the man in the face twice.

He didn't attack lightly, his fists not only knocked out the nosebleed, but also knocked out a tooth. Fortunately, the man's breathing was steady, and he didn't seem to be disturbed at all.

Bai Li picked up his teeth, carefully placed them next to the man, and asked Shen Feihuan, "Can you believe it now?"

"Yeah." Shen Feihuan replied, and began to look for things in the house. He took away the warm blanket and covered Bai Li, and found some new clothes and food.

"Take a good rest and don't run around. The floors here are high, so it's safe for the time being. I'm going to do something tomorrow. If I don't come back, you can find a way to escape by yourself."

Bai Li was wrapped in a thick quilt and huddled on the ground. Shen Feihuan didn't like it, so he simply dragged the sleeping man off and threw him outside the room, and asked Bai Li to sit on the bed.

"Are you going to find daddy...?" Bai Li wrapped the thick blanket tightly, for some reason, he still couldn't feel any temperature except for the biting cold.

"Ah."

Bai Li said seriously: "I know martial arts, I can protect myself."

Shen Feihuan didn't answer right away. He first found a kettle and a stove for heating. He took out the small firecrackers that he carried with him, and started a fire with the rolled paper thrown on the table. He knew that Bai Li had been watching him.

"Your mother is dead, do you know?"

With a cold voice, Shen Feihuan threw this cruel topic to Bai Li.

Bai Li was stunned for a moment, then slowly lowered his head, maybe it was cold, maybe it was fear, his childish body trembled endlessly.

"Mother...was, was captured by people from the Taili Academy...they..."

The voice continued intermittently, and finally fell silent.

I saw Bai Li and Liu Ying in the Snow Wolf Army camp before, and Liu Ying's behavior aroused Bai Li's resistance. Shen Feihuan saw it, and Bai Li must have discovered that her biological mother had been manipulated by the Taili Court, but she was worried about Yu Wanfeng. without debunking.

"I told daddy, daddy told me not to be afraid, daddy said...let me go with you first...he, he will find a way." Bai Li sniffed, her voice was very soft, he must be terrified, but also afraid Being underestimated by Shen Feihuan and pretending to be brave.

Shen Feihuan sighed, moved the stove to the side of the bed, and beckoned Bai Li to lean over to keep warm.Bai Li was very obedient, dragging the thick quilt to move over.

"If you don't want to be scolded, be obedient. You are still young, so don't keep thinking about jumping into the fire pit." Shen Feihuan propped her cheeks, thinking in her heart that the fire of the stove was brighter than expected, and maybe this house would be discovered soon.

Bai Li said: "Even though Brother Shen is an older brother, he doesn't look very old."

Shen Feihuan: "I have a baby face, and my real age is about the same as your father."

He opened his mouth to talk nonsense, obviously because he stopped growing because of "no loss".

Bai Li was surprised, her eyes widened, she stared at him blankly: "Could it be Uncle Shen?"

"..." Shen Feihuan: "Let's call him brother."

Bai Li smiled wryly: "Fortunately, Brother Shen is still here, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

Shen Feihuan became much warmer, and his fingers finally regained their dexterity: "I'm a disaster, there's nothing good for me." After speaking, he handed the knife that he hadn't put away just now to Bai Li: "Take it, use it for self-defense."

Bai Li touched her pocket, and took out a small dagger: "I have it, it's longer than yours!"

Shen Feihuan: "It's not a matter of length, last time you sneaked into my room to play with the eyes, look, here they are." He turned the handle of the knife and took it off. The one inside was exactly Xia Zhou's. eyeball.

Bai Li was shocked: "Yes, it's that..." He suddenly remembered that Xia Zhou had told him not to speak, so he simply skipped the identity confirmation and said the second part of the sentence directly: "Will he help us get rid of... a monster like Yu Yaokai?" ?”

"Yokai?"

"Just... Dean Yu."

"I don't know, maybe I'll help when I'm in a good mood." Shen Feihuan had an instinctive fear of Yu Wanfeng, and just hearing the name made him feel uncomfortable: "Take it, you are cute, and he likes you. Look for help, say a few more good words, maybe you can save your life."

"Oh..." Bai Li accepted the knife obediently.

Shen Feihuan looked at him for a while, then asked, "By the way, show me that necklace."

"Neck...necklace? What necklace?" Bai Li raised her head and subconsciously covered her chest.

Bai Li couldn't tell a lie, with embarrassment written all over her face, it was obvious that she had something to hide.It's not that Shen Feihuan wants to snatch it away, it's just a childlike curiosity.

"Forget it." Shen Feihuan changed his mind: "Then, show me your sword."

Now Bai Li agreed, and obediently handed over the sword.

Shen Feihuan looked down at the sword and came to a conclusion after a while: "The sword is a good sword, but it's not practical. An uncut blade will take a lot of effort to kill."

Bai Li was also aggrieved, and the sadness in her eyes was aroused by Shen Feihuan's words: "The sword is... my mother secretly gave it to me before she was taken away by the Taili Court. She said that if she became wrong, she would use this sword to kill her." her."

Shen Feihuan touched the flashy platinum carvings on the sword. Although this sword is not practical, it is a priceless family heirloom.

"I can't do it, Brother Shen." Bai Li closed her eyes in pain: "Even if it really kills Dad in the end, I can't do it..."

yes.How could Bai Li attack her own mother, even if Liu Ying became a demon and suffered terribly, even if everyone knew that death was the only relief for a person who had fallen into a demon.However, Bai Li is still young, it is too pitiful for him to make such a cruel decision.

Pitiful?

why.

Shen Feihuan was surprised at the thought that flashed by him.

Bai Li is clearly held in the hands of Bai Lie and Liu Ying like a baby, why do I still feel sorry for him?

Just because Liu Ying was killed by him?

Now that things have become the little bit of sympathy left in his heart?

"Keep the sword in place, and then rest quickly."

Shen Feihuan didn't want to waste his energy, he returned the sword to Bai Li, and then leaned against the bedpost to rest.

As his body warmed up, he felt a little drowsy, so he yawned uncontrollably.

"Aren't you sleeping, brother?" Bai Li tilted her head to look at him.

"Leave me alone, I have to put out the stove later, you should keep warm..."

He was worried that if the night was too long, it would inevitably cause trouble.

Bai Li stared at him again with her round eyes open, and took the initiative to pull back the thick quilt on her body: "I can sleep with you, two of us will be warmer."

Shen Feihuan couldn't stand him, her patience was almost worn out.

Bai Li pursed her lips, and wrapped herself back into the thick quilt for fun: "Then, I'll sleep with you later and change it with you. Brother also needs to rest well, so we can look for daddy together."

"Go to sleep." Shen Feihuan turned off the stove casually and ignored him.
