How could Chu Wanning be a pushover? With a flash of golden light, Mo Ran vaguely saw some kind of weapon in his hand, but the weapon was withdrawn and released very quickly. In an instant, Young Man's hands were strangled, and even his wrists were cut off!
Young Man screamed and stepped back. This time, except for one foot, even his hands were disabled.
The hand that was strangling Chu Wanning fell to the ground. Chu Wanning stood up. He seemed to be extremely angry, and his face was unprecedentedly ugly. He seemed to want to say something, but his lips moved. In the end, he seemed to be so angry that he was speechless. He just turned around angrily with a livid face.
Mo Ran hurriedly went to him and hugged him, "Junior brother, how are you?
Are you hurt anywhere? "
Chu Wanning shook his head in his arms and didn't say anything. He was so disgusted that he couldn't speak.
But no matter what, this Young Man was a person who lived more than two hundred years ago. The one in front of him was just a puppet that was derived.
Chu Wanning wiped the blood on his face and whispered to Mo Ran, "You saw it too. I may not be safe if I stay here. It's better to go out with you to fight.
With my skills, I won't be a burden to you. "
Mo Ran had only heard of his junior brother's ability from Xue Meng before, but he had never seen it with his own eyes.
However, the unforeseen event just now had truly opened his eyes.
"You're powerful, but …"
Chu Wanning said, "I'm familiar with the use of all kinds of weapons, and I can guide you."
"But …"
Chu Wanning raised his eyes, "Just trust me this time."
"…"
"Senior brother."
Chu Wanning's original intention was to deepen the sincerity in his tone. Unexpectedly, the child's crisp voice was soft and cute, as if he was acting like a spoiled child. Chu Wanning was a little surprised when he heard it.
Mo Ran was also stunned when he heard it. Then he scratched his head and buried his face in his palms for a long time before he said, "This, the main thing I'm afraid of is … your …"
After living for two lifetimes, it was the first time that he was called so softly by a little guy. Mo Ran really felt that this person was like a brother to him.
If Mo Xianjun wanted to hate someone, he would hate them to the bone, but he was especially soft-hearted to those who cherished. Therefore, after scratching his head for a long time, he squatted and looked up at Chu Wanning. his ears silently turned red...
If only he had a younger brother, he wouldn't be so lonely.
When Chu Wanning saw Mo Ran's reaction, she hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Senior brother."
...........
. Mo Ran held his forehead and felt that he couldn't take it anymore, "…"
Chu Wanning looked at him meaningfully and understood this person's weakness. Anyway, he was now in the form of a child, and Mo Ran didn't know who his real body was, so he didn't feel embarrassed. Therefore, he opened his mouth and called out softly, "Brother."
"…"
"Brother."
"…"
"Brother Mo Ran."
"Ahhhh!!!
Okay, okay!
Bring you!
Bring you!
Stop calling! "
Mo Ran jumped up and rubbed his goosebumps. His face was red and he said, "Go, go, go, come with me. You're good, you're the best.
Oh my god. "
Chu Wanning put his hands behind his back and turned his head slightly. He smiled faintly and said, "Let's go."
Then, he walked slowly to the door. Behind him, Mo Ran whispered, "Where did you learn this trick? It's so corny. Ouch …"
Originally, after seeing what happened to Chu Xun, Chu Wanning was in a bad mood. But now, he felt that the haze in his heart was gradually fading away.
Suddenly, he heard Mo Ran ask, "Hey, by the way, what did you want to say to me just now?"
Chu Wanning turned around and said very calmly, "Ah.
That. "
"Hmm?"
"I forgot."
"…"
"I'll tell Brother Mo Ran when I remember in the future …"
"Ahhh, don't!
Don't call me that!
Just call me Brother!
Brother is enough! "Mo Ran waved his hand.
Chu Wanning's eyes were like deep pools. With a slight smile on his lips, he said lightly, "That's good.
Brother, it's almost time. This illusion is based on the memories of the survivors. Now that those people have left Lin 'an, I think this illusion won't last long.
The Ghost King should be coming out soon. "
"That's true … If we defeat him, we can go out, right?
When I return, I will definitely investigate and find out who made the illusion real and wants to take our lives! "
Chu Wanning nodded. "Fortunately, when the Ghost King fought with Chu Xun before, I can see that this Ghost King is not a very powerful character. He may be the weakest among the Nine Great Ghost Kings.
Although this place has been made real, I think that the opponent may have really treated me as an ordinary six-year-old child. He didn't expect that I could help to deal with this illusion. "
Mo Ran nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right."
Chu Wanning said, "So instead of saying that the person behind the scenes wants to harm us, it's better to say that he didn't include me in his plan from the beginning.
The only person he wants to harm is actually you, Brother. "
Mo Ran nodded his head like he was pounding garlic. "What you said makes a lot of sense."
"After we go out, Brother must explain this matter clearly to Xue Meng. This Peach Blossom Spring is probably dangerous, so we have to be careful about everything.
Alright, let's not talk about this first. Let's go. I won't be a burden to Brother. Please lead me out of this place. "
Chu Wanning's prediction was right.
At 3 o 'clock, the massacre in the city came to an end.
A blood-colored crack suddenly appeared at the edge of the sky. Green smoke scattered into the ruins and condensed into a hunchbacked man.
The man's eyes were scarlet red, and his skin was pale. Half of his body was still covered in flesh and blood, but the other half was all white bones.
He dragged his black umbrella and walked alone in the ancient city of Lin 'an, which was full of corpses. Along the way, he absorbed the resentment and pain of the newly dead.
Mo Ran hid in the dark and saw his appearance clearly.
"It's him?"
There was a hint of relief in his voice.
Chu Wanning understood why he was relieved, but since he didn't intend to reveal his identity at this moment, as a six-year-old child, he couldn't know too much.
So he pretended not to know and raised his head to ask, "What?"
"Your guess is very good. The strength of the Ghost World's Nine Kings is very different. The weakest among them should be this one."
Mo Ran stood sideways by the window and looked at the figure approaching from afar. He whispered, "Our luck is not bad."
"What are Brother's chances of winning?"
"Ninety percent. As for words, you can't be too sure."
Chu Wanning smiled.
Of course, he knew that there were nine Ghost Kings in the Ghost World. The "Skeleton Emperor" was the weakest, but strength was relative.
With Mo Ran's age and experience, even with the help of the God of Martial Arts, it was still difficult for him to deal with the Skeleton Emperor alone.
However, the person who wanted to plot against Mo Ran didn't expect that the person who accompanied Mo Ran was not a random child at the peak of life and death, but Chu Wanning.
"Save me …"
The two were about to break through the door and kill the other party when they heard a faint groan behind them.
"Ah, he's still alive?" Mo Ran opened his eyes wide and looked back at Young Man who was curled up into a ball.
"I don't want to die … Father … I don't want to …"
Chu Wanning looked at the young man who was like a ragged piece of cloth and shook his head, "That year, this person should have died when he entered the house. But in this illusion, the reason why he is still alive is probably because we hid here and got rid of the zombies that were chasing him, which changed some things in the illusion."
"Alas … If he hadn't betrayed us, do you think Chu Xun wouldn't have died two hundred years ago?
Maybe Lin 'an wouldn't have become a ruin … "
"Maybe."
But both of them understood that no matter what was said, the past was the past. The most important thing at the moment was to defeat the Skeleton Emperor and get out of the illusion.
There was no need to hesitate. Mo Ran and Chu Wanning rushed out of the hiding place and killed all the way without showing weakness.
Getting out of the illusion was easier than they thought.
Mo Ran had a clear goal and soon fought with the Skeleton Emperor.
But looking at the two fighting with full strength, Chu Wanning felt a faint uneasiness.
That uneasiness was not because Mo Ran was at a disadvantage. In fact, Mo Ran had been steadily gaining the upper hand under his guidance. But Chu Wanning was more and more aware that —
The person hiding in the dark controlled the situation too accurately.
In other words, that person clearly calculated that if only Mo Ran and another person with average aptitude were trapped in this illusion, it would be extremely difficult to get out of danger.
But the other party did not use more powerful means to kill Mo Ran. Obviously, they did not want people to know that this was a premeditated murder case.
Instead, they wanted to create an illusion that Mo Ran died in the illusion because of an accident during the trial.
Who was it that meticulously planned to take Mo Ran's life?
Was it really Jin Chenghu's fake North Star …
Chu Wanning watched the fierce battle between Mo Ran and the Ghost King. As time passed, Mo Ran was already at the top.
The sky was gradually brightening, and the Ghost King's magical power was gradually weakening. Soon, it would not be able to hold on, and the outcome would be decided.
But at this moment, Chu Wanning suddenly saw a living person's face among the ghosts and zombies that were sealed by Mo Ran's spell!
"Who!!"
That person was very far away, mixed in the crowd of zombies. He was wearing a cloak, and half of his face was covered in shadow. Only a sharp chin, sweet lustrous lips, and a gentle curve of the bridge of his nose could be seen.
With just a glance, Chu Wanning could tell that this person's behavior was not like the illusion from two hundred years ago. This person did not make any offensive posture, but quietly hid under the hood, facing the direction of Chu Wanning and Mo Ran.
Seeing that Chu Wanning had noticed him, he actually smiled slightly, then raised his hand and drew two lines around his neck, making a gesture that was similar to "kill".
Chu Wanning cursed inwardly, and suddenly rushed over, wanting to capture this person.
But that person was still smiling. Under the hood, his lips were bright red, and his white teeth were eerily white. He mouthed at him, looking very much like "farewell".
He dodged and did not go.
"Stop!"
It was useless. The sky was clear, and layers of white fish belly billowed up.
The battle between Mo Ran and the Ghost King had ended with the last strangle. When the Ghost King's head was strangled by Mo Ran's ghost sword, the filthy blood gushed out, and the scene in front of them quickly swept away. Chu Wanning and Mo Ran's bodies were suddenly thrown up, and the sunrise of Lin 'an and the ruins of two hundred years ago all turned into strange and variegated shadows.
"Bang!" A loud sound was heard.
When Chu Wanning fell to the ground again, he had already returned to the cave of trial.
Mo Ran had also returned, and fell beside him. His body was mottled with the bloodstains from the battle.
But his injuries were not serious. He was lying on the ground with his face on one side, obviously unable to get up. Only a pair of dark eyes looked sideways at Chu Wanning beside him.
After a while, he raised his hand and gently touched his forehead with his fingertips.
"You're out."
Chu Wanning nodded, but his face was very ugly, "… I just saw a person inside."
"What?"
"Very suspicious. It should be the person who cast the spell."
Mo Ran got up with a grunt, and widened his eyes, "You saw it?
You saw it!
Then did you see who he was?
What did he look like? "
Chu Wanning frowned and shook his head, "He was wearing a hood, so I couldn't see clearly. But looking at his figure, he should be a man, not old, thin, and with a very sharp chin …"
There was still half a sentence that he did not say.
He felt that this half of the face looked vaguely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere a long time ago.
But he also felt that it was just his illusion. After all, it was only the lower half of the face. There were many people with similar faces, so he could not tell at the moment.
While he was thinking, he suddenly felt Mo Ran patting his shoulder.
"Junior brother."
"What's wrong?"
"… Look over there."
Mo Ran's voice was a little low and slightly cold.
Chu Wanning raised his head and looked in the direction he pointed.
It was Eighteen.
At the entrance of the trial cave, Eighteen's eyes were bulging. She was hanging on the ceiling of the cave, a pair of feet wearing silk embroidered shoes swaying in the air.
She was already dead. There was no wind here. Looking at the extent of her swaying, the person who killed her should have just left not long ago.
But what made Chu Wanning and Mo Ran's expressions change the most was the weapon that was tightly strangling her neck.
It was a willow vine.
The leaves were like knives, flowing with a fierce red light. From time to time, tongues of fire would burst, and sparks and blood would splash together.
Damn it.
The person who strangled Eighteen to death and hung her on the ceiling of the cave was actually the ghost of a divine weapon!
