Ji Ran, who had always held Xiaoqi tightly, finally understood why Erlang and Saburo looked so sneaky during the day - they were probably ready to take Xiaoqi away from the crowd from the beginning so that they could be offered as sacrifices if necessary.

"Forget..." The boy shook his head, he reached out to hold his forehead, and with a little helplessness, "Get on it."

Behind the boy, several black smoke like phantom condensed into new monks, and together with Erlang Saburo, they firmly guarded all the exits here.

"Jiran." Du Huanfeng whispered, "Take Xiaoqi to Feng Yan's place."

Xiaoqi panted and looked at the scene in front of him that was almost desperate. How could he escape...

The next moment, Ji Ran picked her up and kicked through the stone wall behind them. There was a sound of gravel rolling down. She and Ji Ran were already in the endless night outside the city tower.

Everything in front of me seemed to slow down.

In the high wind, the fighting between the Heavenly Master and the Fifth Brother on the city tower seemed as far away as a layer of fog.

Behind her and Ji Ran, three or four shadows that were so fast that they could not see clearly followed closely.

Xiaoqi raised his head in the wind.

Without the obstruction of brick walls and tiles, the whole picture of Guzhe in the distance completely came into her eyes - among the thousands of ghosts, Guzhe was clear.

Xiaoqi almost immediately recognized all the light patterns on Gushe's body, each of which was a stone carving she had seen in the underground of Liufu Mountain.

The hands, feet, cheeks, spine, fingertips and shoulder blades... these dense words are imprinted on every part of her body.

These light marks stick closely to Gusai's body like a huge net. The blood vines on the ground stretched to Gusai's legs and feet, and they suddenly burst out with dazzling light like the sun, limiting the direction of Gusai's journey south.

At this moment, Xiaoqi felt a trance, as if the wounds engraved on Guzhai's body were not shackles, but totems, medals, or armor.

The next moment, the world turned around—

A dense rain of needles came from behind Ji Ran. He flipped a somersault in the air and suddenly dived down, avoiding the next three combos.

The pursuers sent by King Jin's grandson blocked the front and side roads. Ji Ran ran back for a while, and quickly found a gap from the other party's encirclement to break through.

Xiaoqi hugged Ji Ran's neck tightly. Against the backdrop of the thunder and lightning sky and the dark stone man in the distance, the chase at night suddenly became extremely romantic.

Between the vast world, she could only hear Feng and Ji Ran's gradually heavier breathing.

She felt that Ji Ran's speed was slowing down, and she gradually struggled to hold Ji Ran's hand.

Ji Ran took Xiao Qi into the layers of banyan trees in Luoyang City. He originally wanted to use the branches and leaves here as an obstacle to resist the pursuers, but he did not expect that the two of them would approach the banyan trees. These huge branches were like thousands of hands reaching towards them and took the initiative to wrap around them.

As a last resort, Ji Ran had to return to the air again.

When it suddenly took off, Xiaoqi felt a palpitation again. In the sudden dizziness, she felt something was impacting her heart.

Xiao Qi suddenly lost his strength and slid down from Ji Ran's arms. Ji Ran's eyes and hands were quick, and dived down again, jumping, and steadily caught her.

"Hug me tight-" Ji Ran's voice was already a little struggling.

Xiaoqi silently increased the strength of her hands. She looked behind her side and found that the Heavenly Master and the Fifth Brother were also chasing her.

They were also surrounded by tigers and wolves, breaking through the siege while chasing the pursuers here, disrupting the rhythm of their opponents.

Xiaoqi looked at their small figure anxiously. She could see that Feng Yishu and Du Huanfeng had traces of damage, but there was no chance of breathing in the pursuit and blocking.

The pursuers of the King of Jin were closer.

When the other party was almost able to draw the sword at Ji Ran, Xiao Qi seized the opportunity at this moment with a trembling finger and streaked through the life of the person in front of him. The other party's face quickly moved from youth to prime, and from prime to old age. In the blink of an eye, youth disappeared, and the weapons in his hand also fell down.

This moment like a miracle really shocked the remaining pursuers. Everyone was briefly lost their minds and looked at the scene in front of them in a daze.

Until someone shouted, "What are you doing while standing there! Chase!"

Ji Ran and Xiao Qi have gone away again.

The sky was surging again.

Ji Ran estimated in his mind that the distance here is from the opposite city tower. He had already crossed nearly one-third of the city. As long as he walked forward one-third, he believed that the situation here would enter the vision of Feng Yan and Wei Xingzhen.

As long as you persist until that time-

A severe pain suddenly spread to the limbs and bones. Ji Ran felt a shimmer in front of his eyes, and suddenly he could not see anything.

When he realized he realized he was falling.

However, hands and feet... have no strength.

It was not until this time that a faint thunder came from the sea of ​​clouds.

Du Xuanfeng exclaimed in the distance, "Ji Ran--!!"

——Thunder fell from the sky, hitting Ji Ran and Xiao Qi who were running.

While falling, Ji Ran felt Xiaoqi hugging his waist tightly.

He tried his best to concentrate, trying to see what happened to the person in his arms, Xiaoqi even swallowed and shouted his name, but it looked unscathed.

He adjusted his breathing and wanted to jump up again, but the two had fallen into the dense banyan forest together.

The flexible branches tangled around, separating Ji Ran and Xiao Qi almost effortlessly.

In Ji Ran's blurry vision, he saw Xiaoqi struggling to beat the vine. He saw Xiaoqi's panic expression and saw her screaming. However, there was a roar in his ears, and he could not hear anything.

Ji Ran raised his hand slightly towards Xiaoqi, wanting to help her pull these annoying tree vines apart.

However, soon, Ji Ran's movements frozen in the air, and his pupils suddenly shrank-

A branch as thick as an arm pierced from Xiaoqi's back and pierced directly through her heart.

Blood gushed out.

Ji Ran's body suddenly trembled, and he felt all the blood rushing into his mind.

He opened his mouth but couldn't make any sound, and tears rolled down his eyes.

"ah……"

"ah--"

Ji Ran clenched his hand into a fist, but he still couldn't break free from the vines around him.

Not far away, Xiaoqi's face twisted in pain, and a silver light overflowed from her pierced heart. It was like flowing mercury, slowly stretching towards the sky along the non-existent branches.

They left Xiaoqi's body bit by bit, and gradually rose into the sky like a slow firework, blending into the silver spell seal in the clouds.

The party of King Jin's grandson sounded the order to return to the team.

The vine that pierced Xiaoqi suddenly retracted the branches, and Xiaoqi fell towards the deeper darkness.

"Xiao Qi--!"

Before landing, Feng Yishu caught her.

The girl's cheeks had become dim, and her hands were softly hanging down beside her, only her long hair and the hem of her clothes were still shaking slightly in the night wind.

A fire suddenly rose from the sky in the distance, but Feng Yishu had no intention of looking at it, and he fell into silent crying again.

Not far away, Du Xuanfeng helped Ji Ran up and stumbled towards this side.

"Goro, mourn."

A voice came from a high place. Du Huanfeng raised his head and saw Feng Sanlang standing on the branches overlooking them.

Next to him were also a group of monks of the grandson of the King of Jin.

"You must leave here as soon as possible." Feng Sanlang said, and he looked at the firelight in the distance with a little uneasy, "When the curse seal falls, your Highness will ignite the city.

"Just come here, you have done enough for her-"

Before he finished speaking, Feng Yishu's demon rope had already been pulled in front of Sanlang's eyes. Feng Yishu rushed over with red eyes and seemed to be crazy. However, this was exactly what Feng Sanlang thought, and he quickly led Feng Yishu elsewhere, and together with several other monks, he quickly subdued Feng Yishu, who had already fallen into madness.

The monks tied up Ji Ran who was unable to walk and Du Qiangfeng who was beside him, and once again returned to the city tower when they came.

There was silence all over the place, only Feng Yishu kept shouting and scolding, but no one paid attention to him.

The boy in white stood at the height of the city tower and looked at the sky above his head - where the spell seal became more complete and bright with the naked eye.

Soon, Erlang strode towards him, "Your Highness, I found out, no one ignites the fire in advance. The fire we saw just now was from the palace - someone ignited the palace, and now there is a sea of ​​fire there."

"Is that right?" The young man glanced coldly in the direction of Taichu Palace, "Where are our fire ready?"

"It's been prepared long ago," Erlang replied, "Everyone is waiting for the order now, just waiting for His Highness to give the order."

"Okay," the boy continued to look up at the curse seal that had not yet landed in the sky, "No hurry-"

An unusual wind blew from the side.

The boy turned around and saw Feng Yan and Wei Xingzhen appearing on the aisle here at some time. Zhu Xiang stood behind them, and was jogging all the way back to her grandmother.

At the end of the aisle are Ji Ran, Du Kuangfeng and Feng Yishu who are firmly bound.

Feng Yan almost noticed that Xiao Qi disappeared in the crowd at a glance.

"Young Master is here anyway." The young man whispered.

Feng Yishu's eyes were red again, "Sister..."

Wei Xingzhen quickly stepped forward to loosen everyone.

Feng Yan slowly walked to Wuro's side, "Where is Xiaoqi?"

When he saw Feng Yan, Feng Yishu, who was already sternly despising the grandson of the King of Jin, suddenly burst into tears. Du Kuangfeng, on the side, described everything that happened tonight to Feng Yan concisely.
