Chapter 147 Escape failed
As the night deepened, the spiritual candle lamps in the house flickered with endless flames, and the golden and green lamps hanging high on the ceiling made the entire bedroom shine brightly.
Relying on his skills in escaping from orphanages for many years, Xu An slipped out very smoothly.
Due to limited conditions, I didn't get a set of night clothes, but I did steal a servant's clothes.
She carried a heavy bag on her back and held Shun'an tightly in her hand as she sneaked in the darkness. Fortunately, she was lucky as there was no one guarding the forbidden palace.
As soon as he turned over and landed on the ground, the bag made a clanging sound.
Shila-
Xu An blew up a fire stick and explored the deserted courtyard in the dim light.
It was chilly everywhere, and one could faintly smell a musty odor. The dilapidated gatehouse was covered with cobwebs, and it became more and more creepy as one walked inside.
It is completely different from other palaces in terms of construction and layout. If you just look at it, the empty palace seems very spacious, but if you look closely, this forbidden palace is not as big as the small Jinggensi.
Qi Shichuan wouldn't lie to me, would he? Is there an exit to escape from this desolate place?
Xu An groped around cautiously, fearing that he might step on something he shouldn't. He looked inside the nearby door and saw a white silk hanging in the center.
The white shadow swayed with the sad sound of the wind, and the fire starter in the hand suddenly went out, which brought together the atmosphere of a horror movie.
This is a standard horror movie plot. Can Xu An get in? Of course not.
She tightened her throat and secretly mustered up her courage, then suddenly turned around and ran away. The bells on her feet rang at an inopportune time, and the rhythm was so frightening that it could scare people to death.
thump--
Before she ran to the main courtyard, Xu An seemed to have bumped into someone, but she was not sure whether it was a person.
This thrilling incident made her heart skip a beat, her legs felt numb, and her nerves were extremely tense.
With a swish, Shun'an's sword came out, and the cold and sharp blade instantly touched the neck of the man in front of him.
She swallowed for a moment, pretending to be calm as she pressed down the blade of her sword, "Is it a human or a ghost?"
Although he sounded calm, his legs were actually not under his control, otherwise he wouldn't be able to move at all.
"Princess Bai...it's me."
"Qi Shichuan? You really scared me to death!"
Hearing this lively voice, Xu An retracted his sword and leaned against the pillar beside him, "Why are you walking without making any sound? You're like a ghost."
"By the way, how do I get out?"
She didn't want to waste any time and just wanted to escape immediately.
"Please come with me."
Qi Shichuan turned and walked towards the place where the wall fell. He waved his hand and drew a white moonlight. As the light pattern gradually widened, a hazy hole appeared in the center of the wall.
"This is the most secluded spiritual gate of the palace. Going out from here, there are mountains and valleys. Follow the path all the way to Yuehua City. Go south from Yuehua City. After passing the snow peak, you will reach the border between the Western Region and Mu'an and Han Yao. Remember, go south. If you go the other way, you will reach the border between Qingyue and Wulin."
"Okay, I'll remember that. Qi Shichuan, thank you. When I return to Mu'an, I will definitely hire you with a large salary."
Xu An did not waste any more time. Before she finished her words, she stepped into the cave where spiritual energy was emanating.
Mom, Dad Jiang, Dad Shen, I’m here.
Mu Tou, Ze An, Zhu Yu, wait for me.
Qi Shichuan watched the figure in a trance, and only came back to his senses when Xu An gradually disappeared from his sight.
Suddenly - powerful spiritual power rushed out from the cave, and Xu An had just stood firm when he was knocked back by a dozen wisps of black mist coming towards him.
"I****!"
She cursed loudly and was kicked in by the black fog along with her money for no apparent reason.
Qi Shichuan was quick to hold Xu An back and turned around to avoid the attack of the black fog.
"Oh no, it's the monster imprisoned in the Black Water Pond."
The monster imprisoned in the Black Water Pond?
Xu An calmed his eyes and looked up. Wasn’t this familiar breath the fallen demon he met along the way?
To be precise, they have not yet been completely demonized.
Black fog was raging, and ghosts were talking and laughing. The creepy voices made the entire strange forbidden palace extremely terrifying.
"Laugh at your uncle!" Xu An swept his sword without saying a word. The blade passed by, and the black mist split and merged together, without any effect at all.
???
Xu An was confused. Why did Shunan fail?
Qi Shichuan raised his hand to resist the dazzling fog, but his spiritual power was not enough to purify it and could only barely disperse it. The dispersed black fog came together again after a while, forming an immortal and indestructible form.
"Bai Zhi, please leave quickly. I'll take care of this."
What he meant was that she should escape now.
Xu An wanted to escape, but she was not a disloyal person.
"It was caused by me, so I naturally have to deal with it before I can run away with peace of mind."
After saying that, she pulled out an old friend from her arms, "Boundary, now--"
It was a barrier talisman. A circle of barrier glowing with black light appeared out of thin air.
After solving the problem of being discovered, Xu An held the sword and fought. Although he killed one person at a time, the black fog merged too quickly, and both of them were surrounded.
"I didn't expect to run into you two appetizers. After we eat you, we'll smash that kid to pieces."
A strange face appeared from a wisp of demonic mist, and he rushed towards Qi Shichuan with a sinister smile.
Almost in an instant, a sky full of devilish fog rushed down.
Xu An touched the side of his ear.
Without spiritual power, I can’t even summon Fu Shuangqin. I should have made it smaller.
Before he could complain, the sword rose and blood fell. Shun'an shook violently, and the sword blade passed through, leaving a faint green light scattered in the air.
She pulled Qi Shichuan, who was casting a spell, with one hand to avoid the fog group, and leaped forward and swung the sword freely. In an instant, a mixture of roars appeared, and several strands of magic fog screamed and turned into ashes.
My Shunan is still reliable.
"The breath of the gods?"
"This sword actually has the spiritual power of the gods. I really underestimated you, little girl."
The remaining magic mist gradually gathered together, a hideous and disgusting face grew larger, and disgusting laughter echoed in the barrier.
"Come—come—let us slaughter and crush them together."
"What a villain* who talks too much." Xu An pouted and cursed, blocking Qi Shichuan behind him, "Be careful not to get hurt by him."
Qi Shichuan turned his head in a daze and looked at the woman in front of him. Her black hair fluttered in the wind, and it seemed as if a strand of it brushed across his nose.
Without waiting for the demon to laugh, Xu An took a running start and stepped forward, slamming his sword into the demonic mist that had not yet melted away.
That disgusting face became even uglier, "Villain!"
The black mist was like a sword, stabbing towards Xu An.
She dodged the attack by rolling and dodging, and then she stood firmly with a backflip. She laughed with great contempt, "Do you really think everyone is as stupid as you? Why don't you attack when you should? Are you saving your skills for the New Year?"
This demon is too slow.
Suddenly, the surroundings were filled with dark fog.
No. "Qi Shichuan! Hold your breath!"
Xu An looked up and shouted, this mist is poisonous, just like the dark energy he was infected with that night in the sect.
The two raised their hands to block it. The demon mist laughed wildly and arrogantly, "I wonder how long you can hold on?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, clouds of mist came down in a disorderly manner. Qi Shichuan raised his hand and cast a spell to block it, but it was not so easy for Xu An. She held the sword to resist, but there was too much mist and it really consumed her physical strength.
The intermittent attacks prevented the two from getting close to each other, or to the crazy demon.
The magic mist injured Xu An's arm, and severe pain spread from his arm.
Why isn't adrenaline working yet?
As she was swinging her sword to cut through the fog, bluish-white spiritual energy enveloped her.
Xu An looked back and saw Qi Shichuan casting a spell towards him.
"How dare you, you ignorant evildoer, break into my Western Region Palace!"
A black shadow rushed out of the cave on the right. As the sound faded, thunder and lightning flashed, and a crystal blue light descended from the sky.
Xu An and the other man looked carefully and saw a powerful spiritual power flash across the dark sky, illuminating the entire forbidden palace.
The barrier shattered, the mist dispersed, and Xu An hurriedly pulled out the barrier talisman.
The new barrier enveloped the few people.
"It's you again!" The demon was enraged and transformed into a half human, half monster.
He opened his hands and a cloud of black and red mist rushed towards the man.
Taking advantage of the truce, Qi Shichuan ran towards Xu An. Without saying a word, he raised his hand to cast a spell, with a hint of worry between his brows.
Xu An was staring at the fight in the air. The monster was incredibly ugly, with long, sharp fangs, thick, sticky hair, and two long whiskers on its head.
So ugly...Why does it look more and more like cockroach?
