In that distant little black house

The place where the formation was broken was no different from other places with the naked eye, until Zhang Jingmo dexterously pinched out a miniature formation from his hand to cover this place.

The moment the array covered it, one could see the empty wasteland in front of him, separated by a faint light. The end of the light was the human territory, and the other end of the light was the demon world filled with black air.

But between the rays of light that separated the two ends, there was a fist-sized opening, from which black miasma continuously overflowed.And in this black miasma, all kinds of strange tiny creatures can even be vaguely seen pouring in from the black room. After these tiny creatures entered the human world, most of them were directly erected on the stone tablet outside. Killed by the sword intent, a small number of those with more tenacious vitality struggled and quickly fled around - these creatures are almost all low-level demon creatures.

The formation technique Zhang Jingmo sacrificed can reveal the damage of the formation, and it can even reveal the devil's energy. He looked at the black mist pouring into the human world continuously, and couldn't help sighing softly.

Human monks have inherited the kindness of their ancestors, and the good days after thousands of years are finally coming to an end.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jingmo cheered up again. He took out two talismans from his sleeve, then cut open his palm with a sword, and dripped blood on it.

When the talisman saw blood, it emitted a faint white light, which was extraordinarily holy compared to the filthy black devilish energy.The movements of Zhang Jingmo's hands didn't stop. He raised the sword and cut the wound deeper. He didn't stop until his blood soaked the talisman completely.

Essence blood is the source of life, Zhang Jingmo would not have been able to get it so easily if Lord Lian hadn't sacrificed the blood to the dry well before, but now it's his turn to use the blood essence to activate the formation, naturally his face is not very good-looking.

The talismans soaked in blood essence slowly rose from Zhang Jingmo's hands, and then they began to dance in the air with a unique trajectory. If you look carefully, you will find that they are actually condensing formations by themselves.

These two talismans were something Zhang Jingmo had been preparing for a long time. He knew from the very beginning that he would one day appear beside the formation on the southwest border, and use these talismans to delay the damage of the formation.

As the talismans continued to dance in the air, an exquisite formation was displayed in front of Zhang Jingmo's eyes.Seeing this scene, his heart that had been tense was finally relaxed, and there was a bit of warmth in his eyes.

Once the formation was completed, Zhang Jingmo knew that the matter was settled, so he let go of his heart and turned to look at Lu Guijiu who was sitting next to the stone tablet.

Lu Guijiu sat in front of the stele with awe-inspiring sword intent, his brows were tightly frowned, and there was a sharp sword intent on his body that could match the stele.

It seems that Lu Guijiu really succeeded in enlightenment before this stele.

To Lu Guijiu, such a rare event seemed to be commonplace, and Zhang Jingmo couldn't help feeling a little envious when he saw it.

The talisman behind him had been formed into a formation, and there was a crisp sound, Zhang Jingmo turned around, and was about to step up and walk towards Lu Guijiu, but suddenly his face changed drastically, and he flashed to the right——

However, his action was a bit late, and he saw a black tentacle resisting the formation formed by the talisman, and squeezed out from the small opening in the formation.

Zhang Jingmo was pulled to the side of the waist by this tentacle, and felt a sharp pain. He tried to take a few steps back, but saw that the original thick hand split into several small tentacles, which directly entangled his feet. .

Zhang Jingmo's face became ugly, he swallowed the blood that should have been spit out, and drew his sword with his right hand to cut, but his wrist was also tightly bound by the shot.

These movements happened almost instantly, and in just a few breaths, Zhang Jingmo was restrained by the tentacle, unable to resist for a while.

The devilish energy on the tentacles has a serious corrosive effect on human beings. Zhang Jingmo's entangled hands and feet were already drenched with blood in a short while.

Zhang Jingmo was at a disadvantage, but he didn't panic. He opened his mouth slightly, and spit out sharp blades transformed from aura from his mouth, hitting the tentacles straight.

The tentacle was broken several times by the sharp blade spit out by Zhang Jingmo, but it recovered quickly. However, after it wrapped Zhang Jingmo, the movement stopped. Looking carefully, it actually began to shrink towards the demon world.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Jingmo immediately realized the ultimate purpose of the tentacles. It turned out that the monster didn't want to kill him here, but dragged him into the demon world with the excuse of the broken hole.

Zhang Jingmo has never encountered this kind of situation. In his previous 100 lives, he has filled up the damage of this formation countless times, but he has never seen such a tentacle-like monster, let alone being robbed. It struck suddenly.

Zhang Jingmo lost part of his essence and blood, and believed too much in his previous experience, which made him seem helpless when he was first attacked by tentacles. When he reacted, a sneer appeared on his face, and he said: "Stupid."

As soon as these two words were uttered, Zhang Jingmo burst out with strong sword aura all over his body. This sword aura is different from Lu Guijiu's hard and sharp sword intent, and more like the cold water flowing down from the snow mountain. Although it seems soft , but deadly enough.

After the black tentacles were instantly blasted by the sword energy, Zhang Jingmo let go of Zhang Jingmo who was comfortably held. His hands and body were covered with wounds. Lu Lu stepped on the wriggling tentacles on the ground, and said coldly : "Get out." He knew that on the other side of the demon world, the body of the tentacle would definitely be able to hear his words.

The tentacle slowly stopped wriggling after being stepped on by Zhang Jingmo.

Zhang Jingmo saw that the touch was no longer moving, so he moved away and looked up at the damaged place where the magic energy was leaking. He just took a look and realized something was wrong—but he realized it was too late.

The tentacles that were directly exploded by his aura just now had many residual limbs splashed on his body. At this time, those residual limbs all turned into new tentacles, but a large net was formed in an instant. It is necessary to wrap Zhang Jingmo's whole body in it.

Zhang Jingmo was still about to draw his sword, but suddenly felt severe pain in his abdomen. He looked down and saw that his abdomen was pierced by a tentacle that turned into a sharp blade.

The tentacle had a corrosive effect, and almost instantly eroded a big hole in Zhang Jingmo's abdomen. Zhang Jingmo stretched out his hand to hold the tentacle, and forcibly snapped it off and pulled it out of his body.

These injuries are not too serious for Zhang Jingmo. If he is given some time, he is sure to kill the tentacles directly.

But the situation in front of him is that Zhang Jingmo is only a foot away from the damaged part of the big formation, and the tentacles seem not to be afraid of pain. The hole dragged past.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Jingmo was about to fight with all his strength, but a white sword light flashed in front of his eyes.

Wherever the sword light went, the black tentacles fell down one by one, and it continued to regenerate, but it was no match for the joint efforts of Zhang Jingmo and the sword light.

After all the tentacles in front of him were gone, Zhang Jingmo finally saw the master of Jianguang——Lu Guijiu.

Lu Guijiu, who should have enlightened beside the stone tablet, stood in front of him at this time, the Star Sword held in his hand was stained with a lot of black blood. He looked at Zhang Jingmo full of worry, and called out: "Master."

Zhang Jingmo had pain in his abdomen and his face was pale. He said: "Press down the formation." The formation made by the talisman was lifted up by the tentacles before it fell down. If the formation is to be completed, I am afraid Zhang Jingmo will need to help him .

Lu Guijiu frowned, and said, "Master, you step back first, I'll come."

Zhang Jingmo nodded, not trying to be brave, and slowly walked out of the big net made up of tentacles.

The black tentacle was cut into pieces like fleshy pieces by the two of them, and it seemed that they couldn't be put together, but Zhang Jingmo was still a little uneasy, he took a few steps back, frowned and said, "Be careful. "

Lu Guijiu nodded, and walked towards the entrance of the cave holding the stars.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Jingmo's heart jumped for some reason, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "Lu Guijiu! Come back!"

Lu Guijiu turned his head in doubt when he heard the sound—at this moment, another giant tentacle drilled out from behind the fist-sized hole, directly wrapped around Lu Guijiu's waist, and wrapped him inside.

Regardless of the pain, Zhang Jingmo rushed towards Lu Guijiu. His movements were very quick, and he managed to grab Lu Guijiu's hand.

"Master!" Lu Guijiu's waist was entangled by tentacles, and he was dragged to the other side of the cave. Zhang Jingmo took Lu Guijiu's hand, gritted his teeth and cursed.

The strength of the tentacles was enormous, and it was obviously a monster in the late Jindan period. He knew that Zhang Jingmo was weak at this time, so he was not in a hurry, but just pulled Lu Guijiu in inch by inch.

Zhang Jingmo was powerless to contend with this huge power, but he could never tolerate Lu Guijiu being dragged into the devil world like this - this is his apprentice who has been raised for hundreds of years, and this is his hope in this life!

Zhang Jingmo's tone became cold, and he said, "Puijiu, are you afraid of pain?"

Hearing this, Lu Guijiu grabbed Zhang Jingmo's hand firmly, and said, "Master, Guijiu is not afraid of pain." As long as I am with you, I am not afraid of anything.

Zhang Jingmo looked at Lu Guijiu's entangled waist, and said softly, "Don't worry...it won't hurt for a long time." After saying this, he drew his sword again.

Lu Guijiu didn't know what Zhang Jingmo was going to do, but when he saw Zhang Jingmo raised his sword and slashed at him, there was still a hint of surprise in his eyes, but the surprise disappeared in a flash, and he quickly returned to calm— —He knew that his master would not be hurt, and if his master did it, there must be a reason for it.

However, Zhang Jingmo's sword with all his strength failed to cut off Lu Guijiu's waist, but was abruptly blocked by another tentacle. The tentacle was cut into two pieces, but it also stopped Zhang Jingmo offensive.

When Zhang Jingmo swung his sword, the force holding Lu Guijiu became weaker, and the tentacles took advantage of the opportunity to pull half of Lu Guijiu's body into the hole.

Zhang Jing was trembling with anger, and he even began to consider whether to cut off Lu Guijiu's head directly, and then use that heart to resurrect him.

But facing Lu Guijiu's trusting eyes, Zhang Jingmo was a little hesitant for a while.

After only a moment of hesitation, Zhang Jingmo felt a strong force coming from the other side of the demon world. This time, only the parts above Lu Guijiu's shoulders were left outside.

Lu Guijiu felt himself being pulled into the body of the Demon Realm, and was in pain from the strong wind. He looked up at Zhang Jingmo's rarely ferocious expression, but he smiled softly, and called out: "Master. "

The wound on Zhang Jingmo's abdomen started to hurt violently again. At this moment, he vaguely realized that the target of the tentacle might not be him from the beginning, but Lu Guijiu who was sitting next to the stone tablet.

It's too late to cut off Lu Guijiu's head now. If Zhang Jingmo frees up one hand to hold up the sword, he feels that Lu Guijiu in front of him will be pulled by the tentacles directly, and he won't be given any chance at all. .

So the choice becomes a slow death or a quick fix.

The tentacles that had been chopped into flesh wrapped around Zhang Jingmo's feet, corroded his clothes, and then began to corrode his body. In just a few breaths, the bones of Zhang Jingmo's feet were exposed.

Lu Guijiu also saw it. He knew that he was being dragged to another world little by little, but what he was worried about was Zhang Jingmo's body. He said, "Master, can you lower your head?"

Hearing this, Zhang Jingmo guessed what Lu Guijiu wanted to do. At this time, there was no fear or panic in Lu Guijiu's eyes, but gentle love. Zhang Jingmo knew that time was running out, so he hung down in silence head.

Then, Lu Guijiu kissed Zhang Jingmo, this was their first kiss when both of them were awake.

Zhang Jingmo's lips were soft, cold, and had a sweet smell. Lu Guijiu touched Zhang Jingmo's lips lightly with his own, but did not dare to penetrate deeply.

Zhang Jingmo was almost unable to hold back Lu Guijiu. When he was kissed by Lu Guijiu, he didn't dare to look at Lu Guijiu's face. He said three words: "Live."

Lu Guijiu said: "Master, I..." There was no chance to say what he hesitated later, and Lu Guijiu's head was also pulled into the devil world, leaving only one hand held firmly by Zhang Jingmo.

Zhang Jingmo looked at those hands, but he was unwilling to let go, but he also knew that at this moment...letting go is the best choice for Lu Guijiu.

In the end, Zhang Jingmo didn't know how he let go. He fell to the ground, his whole body in a state of embarrassment.

After the tentacles pulled Lu Guijiu into the demon world, they retracted, and the formation on the talisman, without resistance, quickly fell down to fill the hole.

Zhang Jingmo sat leaning against the formation, his body was covered with deep bone wounds, and scarlet viscera could even be faintly seen on his abdomen.But he didn't seem to feel any pain, he just sat silently beside the formation, like a solidified stone.

The scattered tentacles and limbs and the blood scattered here and there all revealed that there was a vicious battle here just now.

Zhang Jingmo didn't know how long he had been sitting here, maybe one day, maybe ten days, maybe longer... In short, he got up from the ground when he realized that the wound on his abdomen had begun to rot.

The remaining limbs of the tentacles were gone, and the blocked formation did not release any more demon energy, and nothing seemed to happen.

But Zhang Jingmo knew that there was someone missing by his side, and that person's name... was Lu Guijiu.

Zhang Jingmo is very clear about how dangerous the demon world is. It is almost hard for him to imagine what will happen to a human being who is at the golden core stage and is forcibly drawn into the demon world.

Even if Lu Guijiu is the Son of Destiny, he is a human being after all. He has flesh and blood, can cry and hurt, and even lose his life.

Zhang Jingmo let out a breath, and slowly stood up from the ground.In fact, his injury was not too serious, but the big hole in his waist and abdomen had seriously deteriorated due to lack of timely treatment.

The devilish energy sneaked into his dantian along his meridians, causing severe pain to his body.

However, at this time, it seems that only pain can make people awake.

Zhang Jingmo had been doing this movement for a long time. He never knew that such a simple movement as getting up could be so difficult.

Zhang Jingmo didn't fight against the wind, but walked forward slowly. When he passed the stone tablet, he saw that there were only three of the six words "killing" on the stone tablet.

Zhang Jingmo's lips trembled, and he let out a dull low laugh, and then he could no longer suppress the blood gushing from his throat, and kept vomiting blood.

"Lu Guijiu... Lu Guijiu..." Zhang Jingmo murmured a few words expressionlessly after vomiting the blood in his belly: "You really are... a genius."

When the two came to this place, only Zhang Jingmo was left to go back.

He changed back to his original appearance, but his face was much paler, and he looked very tired.

When we returned to the inn, the boss asked curiously, "Where's your brother? Are you going to drink together today?"

Zhang Jingmo ignored the boss and returned to the bedroom alone.

After he went to the room, he fell asleep and fell asleep for three days. The boss was afraid that something would happen to him, so he knocked on the door and woke him up from his sleep.

The boss knocked on the door and shouted, "Guest officer, are you okay?"

Zhang Jingmo hoarse, said nothing.

The boss hesitated and said: "I saw that you haven't gone out for the past three days... I'm a little worried, as long as you're fine."

Zhang Jingmo hummed, but stopped talking.

The boss seemed not very relieved of Zhang Jingmo, he hesitated for a moment, and said again: "Guest officer, do you really don't want to eat it? You just killed a cow, and there are good fresh beef."

Zhang Jingmo stared at Fangliang for a while, and then slowly said: "Then take a catty of meat and ten catties of wine."

The boss said good-bye, and said: "Is ten catties too much? The wine is too strong, guest officer..."

Zhang Jingmo didn't want to answer, so he simply closed his eyes.

Seeing that Zhang Jingmo didn't answer, the boss sighed, turned and walked away.He has opened an inn here for ten years, and he has seen all kinds of people. It is naturally not uncommon for two people like Zhang Jingmo to go out and come back alone, and the person who comes back is particularly abnormal.

Based on the experience of the boss, he has almost guessed what happened, so he is particularly worried about Zhang Jingmo, afraid that he will not be able to think about it for a while...

The wine and meat arrived in no time.

Sure enough, as the boss said, the meat is good meat, and the wine is also strong wine. Xiaoer put the things away and asked Zhang Jingmo what else he needed.

Zhang Jingmo asked him to fetch a basin of hot water again.

Xiao Er responded, turned around and went out to the kitchen to fetch a pot of hot water for Zhang Jingmo, then closed the door and backed out.

Zhang Jingmo got up slowly, poured hot water into the copper basin, and then washed his face with water. In the copper basin, he could vaguely see his haggard appearance at this time, so there was a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.

After washing his face, Zhang Jingmo returned to the table, poured the wine into the wine bowl, and drank it happily.

To Zhang Jingmo, this spiritless wine should have been nothing more than white water, but at this moment he unexpectedly felt a little dizzy.

Zhang Jingmo drank a catty of wine, reached out and pressed his stomach.

Because the devil energy was not removed from the body in time, the wound healed very slowly. Zhang Jingmo didn't bother to take care of it these days, so until now, there is a big hole in his abdomen. scary.

Drinking alcohol into his throat caused severe pain in the wound, but at this time Zhang Jingmo actually enjoyed it very much - the pain could make his mind clearer, and only when the pain was severe could he think seriously, what should be the next step? how to go.

Lu Guijiu's fate card was left in the Lingxu sect, and Zhang Jingmo could only know whether Lu Guijiu was dead or alive only when he returned to the sect.

It stands to reason that Zhang Jingmo should have been eager to return to the sect, but he was a little scared for no reason.

He couldn't imagine what kind of expression he should show after returning to the sect and seeing the shattered life card.

cry?He couldn't cry, laugh, and he couldn't even laugh.So probably I can only neither cry nor laugh, like a puppet, as if I lost most of my soul.

Zhang Jingmo picked up the bowl and took another sip. He was not completely desperate at this time, because after he returned to the sect, there was another possibility that Lu Guijiu's fate card was still alive and he was still alive.

Although, this possibility is less than one thousand.

Zhang Jingmo knew that he had never been a lucky person, which prevented him from choosing to leave the southwest side immediately and return to the Lingxu faction to see the final answer.

If you don't go back, you can only hide here, drink and eat meat, just like a coward.

Zhang Jingmo drank another half a catty of wine, with a slightly drunken look on his face. When he picked up the wine jar and poured wine into the bowl, he heard a slight knock on the door.

The knock on the door was extremely soft, which seemed to reveal the nervousness of the knocker.

Zhang Jingmo squinted his eyes, and said in his mouth, "Who?"

A voice belonging to a woman came from the door, allowing Zhang Jingmo to know whose voice it was. The voice of Zhang Jingmo's second disciple He Yanhan came in, and she said, "Master, it's me, Yanhan."
