Sword Soul. Qianlong

These few words, I feel... so familiar...

The lingering feeling of deja vu made Baili Tusu's heart tremble slightly when he heard this, and some indescribable emotion hidden deep in his heart suddenly surged up, ready to come out.

He couldn't help recalling the past that seemed like a world away.

Once upon a time, I also said similar things.

Baili Tusu still remembers his almost self-loathing and self-abandonment when he said those words.

——I am full of evil spirits, and I am already disliked by others.

——I am an ominous person, and it is useless to get acquainted.

Now, seeing Xia Yi say the same words as himself seemingly unhappily, Baili Tusu understands his feelings better than anyone else.

——Because I have had similar experiences and moods, I can empathize with them.

The identity and situation of this fish demon is very similar to that of himself who just came down to Tianyong City.

The difference is that later on, I had a lover who fell in love with me, a friend who shared life and death, and experienced the warmest and most sincere feelings in the world; but the fish demon in front of me could only bear the disgust and hostility of the world , silently retracting himself into the hard shell, like a wounded cub, licking the wound alone with vigilance and distrust of the whole world.

By coincidence, Baili Tusu took a step forward, stretched out his hand to hold Xia Yize's left hand, and looked straight into those clear blue eyes with his dark eyes: "Take the medicine. Then, follow me."

Being held tightly by the opponent's fiery hand, the temperature that seemed to burn the skin made Xia Yi tremble slightly, and unconsciously raised his eyes to meet his gaze.

Touching the bottomless eyes of the other party, Xia Yi suddenly had an illusion in his heart, as if he had been seen through by the other party at a glance, and all the secrets hidden in the bottom of his heart were seen under those deep and sharp black eyes no more.

Xia Yi suddenly panicked and subconsciously avoided Baili Tusu's gaze, but his handsome face began to heat up quietly.

It seemed that the temperature from the held palm had quietly flowed through the heart and spread to the face.

He tried to pull out his hand a little bit uneasily, but it was held even tighter.

Baili Tusu's unquestionable voice came from beside his ear: "I will leave naturally after you recover from your injury. Now, you and I will go to redeem the jade pendant first."

Xia Yi stared blankly at Baili Tusu's firm eyes, only to feel a strange and novel warm current slowly enveloping his heart.

This seemingly indifferent young man obviously met him by chance, but when everyone regarded him as a scourge, he did not shy away from his half-demon status and offered to lend a helping hand to him.

This made Xia Yi, who was used to seeing the cold world and the sinister heart, deeply moved.

Affected by this novel emotion, Xia Yi's brain short-circuited for a rare moment.

He didn't even know how he took the medicine and how he walked with Baili Tusu.

When he came back to his senses, the other party had already dragged the huge corpse of the monster backwards with his left hand, held his palm tightly with his right hand, and returned to the city with the soaring technique.

The two found the client together and handed in the list, and got a reward of 600 taels.

In addition to Baili Tusu's previous gains from killing monsters, he just got together the jade pendant ransom, 200 taels of silver.

Then Baili Tusu took Xia Yi and went straight to the pawnshop where he pawned the jade pendant.

When there were still more than twenty feet away from the pawnshop, Xia Yi suddenly and keenly sensed that something seemed wrong.

He stopped and looked around carefully, and finally found the abnormality.

——The people who appeared around the pawn shop, whether they were the small vendors or the few passers-by on the road, seemed to be concentrating on their own affairs, but they would all look at him intentionally or unintentionally.

Moreover, they all seemed to carry a murderous aura that they tried their best to hide.

And the target of that murderous intent was obviously himself.

Xia Yi immediately turned his head to look at Baili Tusu, and said in a volume that could only be heard by the two of them: "The situation is wrong, leave quickly!"

At this time, Baili Tusu also noticed that the atmosphere around him was different, and immediately pinched his fingers when he heard the words, and was about to perform the soaring technique, when there was a sudden chaos ahead, all the stall owners and passers-by opened their stalls and took out the weapons they had hidden in advance , and quickly surrounded the two of them.

Almost at the same time, countless dots of cold light suddenly shone on the nearby roofs, and a strange blue light shone under the afterglow of the setting sun. In an instant, countless strong bows and crossbows listed them as the targets of shooting.

Xia Yi drew his sword hastily, and Baili Tusu didn't care about performing the soaring technique, and drew Fen Ji with his backhand.

Almost at the same time, arrows rained down like locusts from all directions, interweaving into a terrifying giant net in the air, enveloping the two of them.

Both of them were experienced in many battles, and they could tell at a glance that the arrow tip was fed with the deadly poison of seeing blood and sealing the throat, so they didn't dare to be careless at the moment, and silently recited the formula to summon a defensive barrier to block the vicious rain of arrows. Outside the enchantment.

After a round of arrow rain was shot, the people on the roof and walls immediately retracted, and another group of archers continued to shoot arrows.

Several groups of archers took turns to release arrows, without giving them any chance to breathe.

The defensive enchantment consumes a lot of mana, and the two of them find it difficult to support after a long time.

Baili Tusu and Xia Yi exchanged glances and reached a consensus tacitly.

— One defends, one attacks.

Then Xia Yi increased the spiritual power injected into the defensive barrier to [-]%, and tried his best to resist the rain of arrows from all directions. Baili Tusu made a formula with his left hand, and Fen Ji pointed forward with his right.

The black mist lingering on the red broken sword suddenly became thicker, and then a Qingyue dragon chant sounded in everyone's ears, a black dragon soared into the sky, and rushed towards the archers on the roof with a long roar.

Although those archers were excellent in archery, their martial arts were mediocre, and they knew nothing about Taoism. In an instant, countless people were injured by the black dragon, and the pressure on the two surrounded by the arrow rain was greatly relieved.

Baili Tusu's spirit was shaken, and he quickly took advantage of the victory to pursue the attack, and in the same way, he once again used the "Raging Wave Dragon Ride" to attack the archer on the other side.

After doing this several times, eight or nine out of ten of the nearly thousand archers ambushing on the roof were injured under the "Raging Wave Dragon", and the vicious arrow array was finally broken.

Seeing that the incoming sharp arrows became sparse and nothing to worry about, Xia Yi heaved a sigh of relief, removed the extremely expensive defensive barrier, and was waiting for Yu Jian to leave with Baili Tusu when he suddenly realized The group of assassins disguised as traders and pedestrians had already formed a strange formation, surrounding the two of them.

"Damn it!" Xia Yi couldn't help but frowned and cursed.

Baili Tusu immediately looked at him questioningly.

Xia Yi looked at Baili Tusu worriedly, and blamed himself: "I was careless just now, and I didn't see the origin of these people-it seems that the boss spent all his money this time, and even invited the blood of famous people in the world Linglong Luo Zha."
