Chapter 55: Stalemate

As soon as Ruan Zhan finished speaking, he formed a fire hand seal and directly slapped Guan Zheng's face.

Guan Zheng dared not be negligent. He waved his hand quickly and made two strange monotonous notes in his mouth. The red vines hidden in his cuffs rushed out and quickly formed a ball, blocking the first attack like a grass shield.

But the fire made by the fire handprint is not ordinary fire, but has a curse power, so it did not fall on the ground or extinguish it due to obstacles, but instead pierced on the "grass shield" and drilled inwards for an inch before it burned with a bang.

The fire handprint as big as a palm burned, expanded rapidly like a little blood dripping in clear water, igniting the entire shield, hanging like a big fireball one foot in front of Guan Zheng.

The red vine twisted in pain, making a harsh friction sound, but it did not dissipate, and continued to burn, and was casually directed by Guan Zheng behind him to dance up and down, blocking Ruan Zhan's second and third fire handprints.

This four-sided formation is a defensive formation. Because Wanli, Xiaoxia and the holy artifact can only defend but not attack. Therefore, in fact, only Ruan Zhan is fighting with Guan Zheng, and the other two can only defend their positions and be alert to Guan Zheng's actions.

Although Ruan Zhan's several attacks made Guan Zheng very embarrassed, he resisted them all. After adapting to the slight panic after the heavy blow, he began to fight back.

He controlled the "grass shield" with his right hand, not caring about how the monster struggled and cried. He raised his left hand and followed his strange command, a red vine emerged from the cuff, wrapped in the sound of the wind, and quickly rolled towards Xiao Xia again. Judging from the castration, it was not something that ordinary people could resist. If it was rolled up, it would not be a problem that would be pulled somewhere, but it might be squeezed to death.

Seeing this, Ruan Zhan was shocked and quickly raised the Blood Wood Sword to help. However, after taking a step out of his position, he heard Guan Zheng sneer. He had already taken advantage of Ruan Zhan's attack to slow down and pushed the fireball controlled by his right hand towards Wanli, which was very different from the method of attacking Xiaoxia. If attacking Xiaoxia was already very fierce, then attacking Wanli Gang was even more merciless. In the blink of an eye, the fireball had already reached Wanli.

Wanli shouted, "光" and lay on the ground, barely avoiding this attack. However, this fire was Ruan Zhan's curse fire, and he would not be destroyed if he did not retract it; while the demon vine was controlled by Guan Zheng, and he would not summon it or go back, so the fireball was blown away with an attack, and then turned his head and attacked Wanli again.

On the other side, another demon vine had been rolled up in front of Xiao Xia, and Ruan Zhan's blood-wood sword barely cut it off. This demon vine was the same as the previous one, twisting and withering on the ground, and the other part shrank back like a living snake. From the appearance, it did not shorten because it was cut off. It still stretched flexibly and retracted freely when attacking, and it looked so hard that it could not be seen at the roots. I don't know how it was hidden in Guan Zheng's cuffs.

After resolving the crisis on Xiaoxia, Ruan Zhan shook his body and returned to his position. Because he used his improved small-scale space-time distortion technique, he seemed to be instantly transferred, and the action of the gatekeeper trying to rush out from his side was blocking halfway.

Seeing that this move of attacking the west could not make him go out of the formation, Guan Zheng couldn't help but get angry and retreated in one step, and as if he was ruthless, he increased his strength with his right hand to attack Wanli.

In this way, Wanli immediately became tight. He just kept hiding with the strong and flexible body he had developed and formed regularly. He was not hurt for the time being. However, it seemed that if he had no external force help, if he still stood firm in his position, he would not be able to survive for two rounds. As soon as Ruan Zhan tried to save him, Guan Zheng would start attacking Xiao Xia.

Guan Zheng's super strong strength allows him to attack both sides at the same time, but he controls the three sides together. Just like playing chess, one left hand watched Xiaoxia and the right hand alone against Wanli, which makes Ruan Zhan hurt the other side anyway, and it is like a useless person. Although it is powerful, it has no use!

"Clothes!" Ruan Zhan shouted, holding a sword in his right hand and pointing to Xiao Xia in the direction of defense, while holding his left hand and drawing a cross spell in the air.

Wan Li, the other side, didn't say anything when he heard this, but just fell to the ground again under the attack of the fireball. But the moment he fell to the ground, he suddenly threw off his loose T-shirt, naked upper body, and subconsciously blocked his chest with his arms. Then, the fireball and a cross character drawn by Ruan Zhan's void turned around in the air at the same time, and arrived!

There was only a buzzing sound, a slap, a swearing sound at the same time. In the flash, the fireball was pushed two feet away from Wanli's body, and all the burning flames were spewed outwards and would not burn on Wanli's skin.

"Good guy! I'm so cruel to my rival, I want my life!" Wanli hid in a mess, but his face still had the same expression as the sky fell down as a cover of a quilt. He rubbed his hands and arms hard, and it was red and swollen on his arms, obviously he was hit hard, "Your damn power is really great. Fortunately, I have a hard bone, otherwise I have to break it!"

At this time, the fireball seemed to be the focus of the stalemate between the two sides, and stayed in the air beside Wanli, neither moving forward nor retreating, nor falling. However, Wanli's hands were empty and he didn't hold anything, but there was a huge red talisman on his chest, which was scattered with teeth and claws, echoing the cross character drawn by Ruan Zhan's void, sucking the fireball and the flames outside.

"How could Azhan let me deal with the villain with empty hands?" Wanli said indifferently, "Did you see this talisman? As long as it echoes his cross talisman, you can withstand your level of magic, and this-" he raised his hands, "can also resist any physical strength, so you can't rush out from me. Change the side."

Guan Zheng snorted and said nothing.

He attacked twice, once was blocked by Xiao Xia, but actually the Canli Banner blocked him back, and the second time was because of the talisman on Wanli and his own power failed again. Do you have to fight Ruan Zhan head-on?

He glanced at Ruan Zhan and saw that the latter was looking at him coldly, without any emotion on his face, neither complacent nor panic, nor excitement nor fear. His calmness and calmness made him admire and annoyed, and his eyes seemed to be like he was already fish on the board, and he didn't take him seriously at all.

He felt the insult, put his heart on his mind, increased his magic power with both hands, and walked towards Ruan Zhan step by step. Because his hands attacked the left and right sides, the door opened at this time. And Ruan Zhan wanted to assist Wan Li and Xiao Xia, the same was true. As Guan Zheng approached, both of them exposed their weaknesses to each other, as if they were going to fight with each other.

Wanli and Xiaoxia were under pressure from Guan Zheng at the same time, and they had to stick to their position and remained unmoved. They could not help at all, so they could only watch anxiously.

When Ruan Zhan saw Guan Zheng approaching, although he felt the pressure from the other party, he was still calm and stared at the other party without any retreat.

Guan Zheng got closer and closer. When the two were only two meters apart, he suddenly laughed.

His smile was gloomy and vicious, with no smile at all, but his face was twisted, especially his mouth was very big, his mouth was pitch black, and even his teeth were black. At first glance, he thought it was a black hole without teeth.

He took another step forward, it was very difficult, as if the pulling force of each side had reached its extreme, and then he began to retreat. After vomiting for several times, he actually spit out a small snake from his mouth.

The little snake was also black, about four inches long. As soon as it came out of Guan Zheng's mouth, it rushed towards Ruan Zhan's throat like a dart. Seeing that he had no place to escape, unless he left the position where he was guarding.

Ruan Zhan did not move, and his hands pointed at Wanli and Xiaoxia respectively, refusing to turn back to protect him. He also closed his eyes the moment the little snake bit his throat, looking completely ignored!

Amid Xiao Xia's screams, the little snake stretched straight in the air. Under the illumination of the oil lamp and the fire, it stayed in the air like a crystal iron rod, making a "hissing" sound.

From the direction where Xiao Xia stood, he only saw Guan Zheng using magic and evil magic, but he couldn't see whether the snake bit Ruan Zhan. He saw that the snake's head and the skin on Ruan Zhan's neck overlapped, while Ruan Zhan stood there with his eyes closed, without moving, and the snake did not move.

She couldn't leave her position, nor did she dare to speak, for fear of being divided into his god, and she was extremely anxious, as was the same with Wanli on the side.

Her eyes lingered on Ruan Zhan's face and Guan Zheng's back, but she could not see anything. After a while, she couldn't explain it clearly. She just felt that it was forever so long, and she finally saw a clue.

The snake was still the same, but its tense body softened a little. Ruan Zhan's eyes were still closed, but fine beads of sweat had already oozed out of his forehead and his brows were also furrowed. Because Guan Zheng turned his back to her, she could not see his face, but only saw his shoulders shaking slightly, obviously using dark force.

So, these two people are fighting. Although they don’t know if the little snake bit Ruan Zhan, at least he is fine now! And because they are flawless and distracted, Xiao Xia feels that the pressure on her body is a little loose, and the demon vine that has been pointing at her is a little further away. This gives her room to move, and she should do something to help Ruan Zhan.

But what should I do?

She thought anxiously, looked up at Wanli, and saw that Wanli understood the whole story, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Azhan is fine." He suddenly said, "Don't worry, the snake's poisonous fang is still 0.01 centimeters away from him. You don't have to dare not speak. I realized that they are competing for the power of their mind this time, and they use their power of mind to control the snake. At this time, although they can hear it, no one can move, and they are in a stalemate."

"But--" Xiaoxia was still very anxious.

"I understand, I understand!" Wanli seemed to deliberately let the two people hear it, and raised his voice, "I want to help Azhan, too, but look, Mr. Guan, who has a parasite in his stomach, looked at you with a vine, and used this fireball that could not be burned for a long time to face me, so that we could not move. Once we had something to do, Azhan would be distracted to save him, so that all three people would be done. Mr. Guan was very smart and he would not lose at all!"

"I have an idea." Xiao Xia understood Wanli's intention and also increased his voice, "I can protect myself, but I don't know if you can?"

"Don't underestimate me, your husband, I am an amazing man!" Wanli specifically put the word "husband" a little more serious.

Guan Zheng fought against three in the formation they set up. Although he suffered a little loss at the beginning, he immediately reversed the situation. Wanli was very impressed by this. But even though he admired him, his determination to eliminate Guan Zheng still did not change. The question is how can they help Ruan Zhan now.

Although this four-sided formation was guarded by three people, in fact, most of the pressure was on Ruan Zhan's shoulders. The reason why he didn't say anything just now was because he didn't see the situation clearly and dared not act rashly. Now he knew that if he continued to be in such a stalemate, Ruan Zhan would be at a disadvantage and he had to do something while the situation was equal. After all, there were many people, and Guan Zheng would always take care of one thing and the other.

He basically knew what Xiaoxia was going to do. He just wanted to notify Ruan Zhan when he spoke so loudly, and also to attack Guan Zheng's mentality.

"Azhan, listen." He said steadily, "Now you can take your hands that protect us back with confidence and boldly, and focus on dealing with Mr. Guan, because we have already thought of ways to protect ourselves. If you don't listen, we will do what we thought, and then the three parties will be harmed. So this time, Xiaoxia and I forced you, you must listen."

He waited for more than ten seconds to let Ruan Zhan digest the news, and also caused fluctuations in Guan Zheng's heart, and then began to count. This was the tacit understanding between him and Ruan Zhan since childhood. He would count three times in the consciousness of ordinary people, and then attack when the third number was read out. But they were on guard from the first step, but they would not move at all. If the other party moved, they would use stillness to control others and take action; if the other party did not move, they would take action when the other party hesitated.

"Three!" Wanli shouted out this number.

Ruan Zhan did not move, but Guan Zheng moved. This time he chose to retreat and attack Xiaoxia again. Because from Ruan Zhan's reaction when he first attacked Xiaoxia, he could see Ruan Zhan's unusual concern for Xiaoxia. This made him jealous and made him understand the weakness of this man whose magic power was temporarily inferior to him, he could not suppress it.

His skills are deeper than Ruan Zhan, and he took the initiative to retreat during the stalemate and was not hurt. He just ignored the snake and let it fall to the ground.

The pressure in front of Ruan Zhan relaxed, and he immediately withdrew his arm pointing to Wanli, and hurriedly drew the talisman in the void to create an invisible barrier in front of him, so that he would not have to use his mind to fight against him when Guan Zheng came to attack.

His other hand still took care of Xiao Xia, but Guan Zheng tried his best to attack Xiao Xia this time. The speed was too fast, so he had to aim at the demon vine that was reaching towards Xiao Xia, waved his hand and threw the Blood Wood Sword out!
