Apart from paper figurines everywhere, there are only six living people in the secluded swamp.

Lu Dongqing, Master, and Wutong stood with their backs, carefully guarding all directions.

And the other three people put up a "long battle formation", two close and one far away, like hunters, guarding the prey in their pockets.

Nan Yanqi was one of the hunters. He stared at Lu Dongqing with cold eyes, and his expression was extremely excited.

With Nan Yanqi present, the identities of the three are self-evident—they are all emissaries of the Demon Cult.

The woman standing on the stage is the controller of the formation. Behind her, there is a faint primordial spirit. It is a strange beast with a body and a worm face. Her long black hair hangs over her bare shoulders, covering most of her cheeks. The protruding eyes and molars of insects can be vaguely glimpsed in the face of a human woman, which is indescribably weird and ferocious.

That appearance is exactly that of the fierce beast Ba from ancient times.

This "Long Jue Formation" is the incarnation of her spiritual field. The noble goddess Ba fell into evil ways because of being bewitched by Youying, and was abandoned by her father Huangdi. Zuo Yuanshen relies on the body of the descendants, and will permanently imprison those who betrayed her in the formation.

In the secluded swamp ruled by the phases of the moon, this power is like a fish in water.She even gave up covering up, and the paper figurines lost their strength one after another, and fell to the ground like kites with broken strings.

The moon hid in the gaps in the clouds, and the wind in the secluded swamp became colder.

Pieces of paper fluttered all over the place, surrounding a weak bonfire. This is the only real thing left in the Long Jue formation. Even if it is a witchcraft technique, it cannot be created out of thin air. The tens of thousands of lights just now came from this bonfire. The bonfire is transformed into a birth.

The flames swayed in the wind and were about to go out, as if to indicate the end of the people in the formation.

Nan Yanqi attacked again without giving the three people a chance to breathe.

His movement was faster than last time, and the long knife reached Lu Dongqing's throat in an instant.

In the battle of Lingquan Valley, in order to pretend to be a boatman, he could only hide his edge and dare not make a move easily.This time he didn't need to restrain himself, there was an undisguised mania in his ferocious smile.

The long knife is his preferred weapon. The thin blade is glowing with cold silver light, as if capturing the cold moon from the sky into the mortal world, imprisoning it between the lines, saving, dormant, patient, and waiting.

Nan Yanqi waited for nine years, committed himself to the darkness, suffered all kinds of humiliation, and finally found the exit, which was the young man in front of him who knew nothing about the sky and the earth.

He is a child created by Lu Zhengqiu himself, and only by destroying him can he vent his anger.

Lu Dongqing protected her master behind her, and met Nan Yanqi's blade.

The attack of the long knife was overwhelming, and he tried his best to keep up with the opponent's speed. In the blink of an eye, the two of them had passed dozens of moves, his wrist had been shaken to the point of unconsciousness, and the corner of the opponent's mouth was still smiling.

The shadow of the knife entangled him, and the silver flowers bloomed from all directions, turning into an invisible cage.He exhausted all the methods, but he still couldn't find the gap to break through, his dagger was helpless, and even the defensive moves gradually became slow.

There was only one thought left in his mind, which kept him fighting hard.

——Never let this person hurt Master.

At the same time, Wutong is also defending against the enemy on the other side.

Her opponent was a young man, even much younger than her, but in the young man's eyes, there was an evil spirit that did not match his age.

The young man's weapon is a pair of iron hooks, which complements his lightness of body. She rarely meets opponents who are faster than herself, and the young man is one of them. Her copper bell was cut off by the iron hook just now.The boy let out a chichi laugh as he tore up her spinning thread.

The boy's strength is not great, but his body is as nimble as a loach, once he catches it, he will be released from his hand.Wutong's effective skills were completely useless in front of him.

The muddy gray soil made her feet extremely heavy, her physical strength gradually weakened, and even her vision gradually became blurred.

Lu Dongqing glanced behind and saw Wutong's fatigue, the two kept retreating, they were already close to the place where Lu Zhengqiu stood, and soon they would have no way to retreat.

The bonfire not far away trembled in the wind and was about to go out.

If that ball of fire disappears, the last glimmer of light will no longer exist, there will be no hope, no future.

Lu Dongqing looked towards the flickering flames, and for a brief moment, he seemed to see the earth being swallowed by the swamp, the black flood swept the earth, the boundary between heaven and earth was blurred by dirt, and all the creatures wailed and walked into the swamp of death, Turned into a paper monster, wandering in the chaotic world.

The woman with the bow is still smiling on the high platform.

Lu Dongqing suddenly realized that it was her long hair that was disturbing her mind.

Realizing this, he concentrated his mind, drove the sad thoughts out of his mind, and searched desperately for bright and warm memories.

"Master..."

Familiar words emerged from the depths of his throat, almost instinctively without thinking.

These two simple words are the closest, most real and softest things that linger in his heart.

——"I accept you as an apprentice, and from now on, I will be your master."

Once upon a time, in the flames that engulfed his life, he grabbed this man's skirt and was reborn in a warm embrace.

The nostalgic voice sounded from behind again.

"Holly, Wutong, back off!"

Accompanied by the suppressed cry, Lu Zhengqiu threw the second Emei thorn in his hand.

The spikes flew towards the remaining bonfire, broke the loose wood frame, and sent sparks flying in all directions, just splashing on the surface of the paper man on the ground.

With the support of the tongue of fire, it quickly tossed up, and the fire that was about to be extinguished burned blazingly again.

Following the fierce battle of the four just now, the paper figurines fluttered around, attracted by the sword energy and saber light, and gathered into a ring.Tongues of fire spread along the ring, enclosing the three people within the wall of fire.

The long battle array supported the body in Taiyin Youying, who liked the cold and disliked the fire, and really showed his flaws in the fire, the two people in front of the formation also retreated back.

However, after throwing that Emei thorn, Lu Zhengqiu fell into a defenseless situation.Suffering from the cold and poison in this secluded swamp, he was almost unable to move even an inch. He tried his best to win a short respite.

However, the ring of fire is not an ideal shelter. Although it blocks the enemy, it also makes those who stay in it suffer.

The scorching tongue of fire licked Lu Dongqing's cheek, he retreated to the side of the master, just about to speak, but was preempted by the other party.

"Holly, take Wutong with you later, escape first no matter what, and I will deal with them."

Lu Dongqing was startled, and immediately shook her head and said, "No, how could I leave you behind!"

Lu Zhengqiu said: "I can still resist."

Lu Dongqing just shook her head: "Even if you can fool others, you can't fool me. This secluded swamp is not a good place. You can't stay for long. I will find a way to take you away."

Wu Tong also said from the side: "Master Zhengqiu, I can't leave you behind!"

Lu Zhengqiu just shook his head, turned to her, and his tone suddenly became gentle: "Princess, you must not lose the big because of small things. Don't forget why you endured the humiliation and endured the heavy burden, and stayed dormant until now."

"Princess?" Lu Dongqing's eyes widened in astonishment.

Lu Zhengqiu turned to him, and continued: "Hongqing, listen carefully, Miss Wutong's real name is Si Yutong, she is the orphan of the prince, the former princess of Pingning County, and the real royal family."

"What..." Holly couldn't believe her ears.

But Lu Zhengqiu's expression was unprecedentedly serious, it didn't look like he was joking at all.

He parted his pale lips, and said word by word: "She is the hope of the Yu Kingdom. Master ordered you to protect her."
