dark battle

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry..."

"Ding Xiang!" Ao Chun suddenly hugged him tightly, and closed his eyes deeply, "Ding Xiang..."

This refreshing and sweet name locked all his youth.

Dilemma

The Jade Emperor ordered Yang Jian to conquer Mount Accumulation immediately. When the army came under pressure, Princess Iron Fan appeared out of thin air with a plantain fan and fanned the heavenly soldiers all over the mountain.Yang Jian's failure was so fast that he couldn't hide his ears this time, so he returned to the Zhenjun Temple with a sullen face.

Xiaotiangou suggested: "How about we go to Manjusri Bodhisattva's Wind-fixing Pill to deal with them?"

Yao Laosi gave Gou'er a look: "How do you decide for an army of 20?" Then he said to Yang Jian: "Second Master, brothers have an idea—to defeat each of them!"

"How to defeat each one?"

Anyway, Boss Kang was not around, so Yao Laosi boldly suggested the idea of ​​a mortal: "I think that Ding Xiang seems to have just regained her sanity, and because of her hatred for you, Second Master..." He stopped, no Go on.

Yang Jian's eyelids drooped slightly, and he went to the inner hall as if nothing had happened, without comment.

With her hatred for Yang Jian, she will definitely come to her without knowing the heights of heaven and earth.Speaking of which, before Yang Jian met Chen Xiang and his party, he didn't know that young people in the world were so overconfident.

Sure enough, when Yang Jian was conveying true energy to Xiaoyu in the secret room, he noticed a pair of men and women sneaking onto the stone platform in front of the Zhenjun Temple.It is said to be "sneaky", but in Yang Jian's opinion, that slight degree of caution is only slightly more restrained than "blatant".

The gate of the palace opened, and Yang Jian greeted him coldly with a long halberd. Behind him, the Meishan brothers and a group of heavenly soldiers came out.

Zhang Lao Er pointed at the two of them and shouted: "Ding Xiang! Eighth Prince! We have been waiting for a long time!" While speaking, the team of heavenly soldiers led by Yang Jian had surrounded the two people in front of the hall.

Yang Jian thought they had some good way to avenge their hatred, but he didn't expect that they would just go to the door to die in such a naked way. He was furious with hatred, and felt that this group of young people including Chen Xiang were simply stupid.

Ding Xiang, a mortal, was not afraid of being surrounded easily, and shouted to the tall Yang Jian from the air: "God Erlang, I will kill you!"

"Back off!" Yang Jian angrily shouted back the crowd, insisting on personally teaching Chen Xiang and his gang of brave and foolish friends.

Ding Xiang stabbed straight with his sword, but Yang Jian easily dodged it sideways, and quickly turned an angle to avoid the halberd edge he hooked.The swords and halberds clashed with each other and made a piercing clang. Ding Xiang didn't see how the opponent's hand was moving, and was thrown flying by the tail of the long halberd.

At this time, Yang Jian's situation was not easy-Huashan was tightly covered by the Queen Mother's Qiankun Bowl, Chen Xiang's boundless mana was exhausted, and Jilei Mountain, which was pressing on his shoulders, could not be attacked for a long time, and he did not know whether he could be rescued The little fox... Now there is another mortal girl who is purely provocative, bumping into his hand. After dealing with two moves with ease, he couldn't restrain his contempt. He jumped on his toes and chased after him with his halberd stab it.

If Boss Kang was here, maybe he could be there to dissuade him.

Yang Jian's move was mediocre, and he didn't even use [-]% of his strength seriously, but it was still too heavy for a mortal who had only eaten elixir.

Ding Xiang didn't have any martial arts background at all, and hadn't been specially trained in reaction and speed. He fell to the ground and didn't know how to dodge the knife that was stabbing him in the face. He only had time to show a terrified expression. That move was blocked with his body.

Yang Jian did not pierce the point of the knife into the opponent's body, but the mana-infused halberd edge still sent Ao Chun flying a foot away.Ao Chunquan fell to the ground powerlessly, and when he got up half of his body, his eyes went dark and he passed out.

Among the opponents that Yang Jian fought in person, there were very few such unbeatable ones.Amidst Ding Xiang's exclamation, he rushed to Ao Chun like the wind, and seeing that he was powerless to fight back, he looked at Ding Xiang coldly, thinking about how much he would give her. discipline.

Just as Yang Jian took two and a half steps towards Ding Xiang, Ao Chun who was behind him suddenly jumped up like a dead body.Yang Jian didn't care, and let Ao Chun hook a dagger around his neck from behind.

Ao Chun opened his mouth and vomited a mouthful of blood first, then weakly warned the surrounding soldiers: "Don't move!"

Ding Xiang was stunned.

"Ding Xiang, let's go!"

Ding Xiang's previous fall was not easy, she climbed up twice before getting up, limped and ran to Ao Chun's side, "holding" Yang Jian side by side and retreating towards the periphery step by step.

Yang Jian sneered faintly, and even made a snorting nasal sound, and followed Ao Chun out leisurely.

"Don't come here!" Ao Chun stared at the surrounding deployment, "Ding Xiang, go!" However, he vomited blood again after moving less than five steps away. Instead, he stayed on Yang Jian's shoulders and almost fell down. Will faint in a moment.

Yang Jian was not so kind as to serve as a handrail for a small dragon, and said with a smile, "I never thought that the eighth prince of the East China Sea is really bloody, so I'll let you go." As he spoke, he tore away the knife stuck to his neck in disgust, and Ao Chun was torn apart. a stagger.

The subordinates wanted to chase again, but Yang Jian raised his hand to signal to stop.

Xiao Tianquan saw Ao Chun and Ding Xiang walking away in such a grand manner, he was very puzzled: "Master, why?"

Yang Jian just stared at the direction where they disappeared without a word, his eyes darkened.At this time, Chen Xiang should have descended to the realm safely, why did the Eighth Prince and Ding Xiang not seem to know that Chen Xiang was still alive?If Chen Xiang hadn't contacted them again, could it be that he really wanted to spend the rest of his life as a mortal as the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother wanted?

……

"Ao Chun, Ao Chun, wake up, don't scare me, I beg you to wake up..."

In the East China Sea Dragon Palace, Ding Xiang burst into tears in front of Ao Chun's couch.In this world, apart from the widowed mother and housekeeper Ding An, Ao Chun is the only one who is willing to play around with her according to her temperament.Chen Xiang is dead, it's not enough for her to suffer alone, she has to drag the good-looking Ao Chun into the water, he treats her so well, but she is self-willed enough to hurt him like this, she really regrets it.

"Ao Chun, wake up... I have already lost Chen Xiang, I can't lose you anymore..."

Ding Xiang cried bitterly in front of Ao Chun's chest, suddenly felt his chest vibrate slightly, and then heard a muffled cough from him.Ding Xiang suddenly raised her head, and desperately hugged him tightly into her arms, as if she would lose him forever even if she loosened a little.

"You scared me to death, scared me to death..." She hugged him tightly with empty eyes, and hugged her big brother who was devoted to her.

Ao Chun slowly opened his eyelids, and said in a fluctuating voice, "Are you okay? I'm worried about you."

Ding Xiang hurriedly said: "I'm fine! As long as you're fine, I'm fine!"

There was a moment of silence in the air.Ao Chun closed his eyes tiredly, and repeated her words like chewing: "As long as I'm fine, are you fine?"

Ding Xiang's face was full of tears, she nodded again and again: "Yeah!"

When Ao Chun woke up again, Ding Xiang had cooked the soup with her own hands.

Seeing that she was restless, Ao Chun comforted her, "As long as we are patient, we will definitely find a chance for revenge."

"Actually, I am Erlang God's accomplice." Ding Xiang continued quickly, without giving Ao Chun a chance to refute, "If I hadn't put Xiaoyu in the Thousand Fox Cave, Erlang God would never have had the chance to recover his mana."

"But...but even if they use Xiaoyu's blood to ignite the lotus lamp, they have no mana and cannot control the lotus lamp. How can they get back the mana? Could it be...could it be..." Ao Chun said his guess with difficulty, "Could it be that Xiaoyu helped them?"

"...Impossible, Xiaoyu is not that kind of person. Besides, Xiaoyu sacrificed his life to help Chen Xiang in the Heavenly Court, how could he help Erlang God?"

"Although Erlangshen and Xiaotiangou have also entered the Thousand Fox Cave, they are not as familiar with it as Chen Xiang. Without Xiaoyu's help, how could they have walked out of the Thousand Fox Cave so quickly?"

"Big brother..."

Ding Xiang wanted to say more, but Ao Chun grabbed her hands—she called him "Big Brother" just now.

"If Chen Xiang hadn't died, I would be your big brother forever, but now..."

Ding Xiang was slightly stunned, and quickly withdrew her hand from Ao Chun's hand, avoiding her eyes.

After a stalemate for a while, Ao Chun said: "I mean now...we should quickly accumulate mountains. Even if there is no chance of revenge, at least we can help resist Erlang God's army."

On the side of Accumulation Mountain, Yang Jian invited Fengshen to help out, and built a wind wall around him, making the plantain fan almost useless.The second Zhu Bajie went to the Holy Buddha Cave in Emei Mountain to ask Monkey King to come out, but he was in vain again, and could not open the door no matter what.This monkey is usually disturbed by people, and he has trained the mountain gods and land here. Zhu Bajie only inquired about the battle and defeating the Buddha.

……

In Liu Ji's lantern shop, Liu Yanchang looked at Chen Xiang who was making a lantern for a long time by himself in the corner, and then slowly approached.

Chen Xiang looked up and saw him, and smiled slightly: "Father, what do you think of my lantern?"

Liu Yanchang picked up the half-pasted lantern and looked carefully, "It seems that you are more attentive than before."

"You said that if I don't work hard, I'm afraid I won't even be able to buy lanterns in the future."

Liu Yanchang didn't answer, and went into the room silently, not knowing what he was packing.After a long time, he carried two bundles, handed Chen Xiang one, pulled him out, and locked the lantern shop.

In Chen Xiang's impression, Liu Yanchang was always gentle and elegant, and he had never seen such a resolute appearance, so he was very surprised: "Father, where are you going?"

"You'll know when you go."

Father and son
