The reliefs on the ground were blasted into the sky by the fire that erupted from the inside out. Pieces of stone skin dragged the tail of the flames, like fire rain and meteors falling all over the sky with a pungent burnt smell.
The human-shaped pit on the ground was also on fire. The red flames shot up to a height of nearly meters. The heat wave billowed around the pit, making it almost impossible to stand. The Tulip members had to retreat again and again in the scorching heat wave, and finally had to stop when they almost reached the edge of the circle.
Just a moment later, there was a crackling sound from the fire pit, and strings of sparks flew into the air. All Tulip members raised their weapons and pointed them at the fire pit.
But I said calmly: "Don't be nervous, everything is fine inside the circle, just pay attention to the outside now."
The Tulip members turned around in disbelief, but bursts of applause broke out in the empty church.
There was crisp and cold applause. From far to near, I also saw a black shadow through the crack of the door, spreading towards the edge of the star array like flowing water. The opponent did not come until he was about two inches close to the star array. It stopped and slowly transformed into a figure covering most of the ground.
While the Tulip members stepped back in shock, I stepped forward and stood at the edge of the circle: "Why don't you show up to see this friend since he's here?"
The figure smiled and said: "In the world of China, friends have many meanings. Strangers and enemies can be called friends. However, in hell, only those who have established a contract with us can be called friends. Therefore, in our Before establishing a contract, it’s better not to call them friends.”
I sneered: "Then what should I call you? Call you Shadow?"
The figure laughed and said: "Your tricks are really cheap. No one knows the real name of the devil except the great Satan. If you want to know my name, then sign a contract with me?"
"The second demon that appeared, you want me to sign a contract?" I stepped on the ground twice with my feet: "Then this magic circle is too worthless, right?"
The figure said coldly: "How long do you think the five-pointed star array on the ground can last? If you don't sign a contract with me, you will soon become food for other companions. On the contrary, signing a contract with me is your best choice."
The figure said confidently: "Of course! If you have the confidence to defeat countless demons, you can persist. Maybe you will still have the opportunity to visit Lord Lucifer. However, I have to remind you that you only have one chance to make a contract with me. If you miss this opportunity, you will no longer have the possibility to sign with me."
I waved my hand impatiently: "That's it, get out of here as soon as possible. I have to wait for a more powerful demon to come out. My target is Lucifer."
"You..." the figure said bitterly, "your greed will definitely make you pay the price."
Elena, who was standing behind me, said: "Wang Huan, if..."
I didn't wait for Elena to open her mouth and shouted: "No matter what, let him get out!"
The figure still refused to give up: "If any of you want to sign a contract with me, you can say it silently in your heart. I am willing to serve the Shadow Demon as my master. I will..."
I turned back and glanced at Li Xiaomao. The latter raised his arm again and put a blood-red arrow on the bowstring: "Get out or die!"
The figure on the ground sneered and quickly stepped back, but I shook my lips slightly and sent a message to Ye Xun: "Prepare the magic talisman. Don't worry about other places for a while, just hit the door."
Ye Xun put his hands behind his back with an expressionless face. He held a spiritual talisman between his fingertips and crossed them like swords. This was the starting position of the Taoist talisman.
Just as Ye Xun was getting ready, Elena said: "Wang Huan, why don't you let us sign a contract? Even if one of us is sacrificed, the safety of the majority can be guaranteed."
I turned around and responded: "Can you be sure what the devil asked you to sacrifice?"
Elena was stunned for two seconds before saying: "Anyway, we should make a bet. There is no magician among us!"
Anne hesitated and said, "I also think we should take a gamble. Next time, shall I sign a contract with the devil?"
I turned to look at Annie: "Do you still remember that before you came in, you promised me that I would be responsible for all problems? If you still remember, then leave all decisions to me."
I said with a deep voice: "If you feel that I am not suitable to lead the team, we can leave immediately."
A member of the Tulip family said with a serious expression: "Mr. Wang Huan, taking advantage of others' danger is not a good moral character. Even pirates must abide by their credibility. Your words make me very disappointed."
I looked at Anne with a half-smile, and the latter nodded slightly and said: "Although I believe in Mr. Wang Huan's credibility, I am also responsible for the lives of family members. To take a step back..."
Before Annie could finish her words, Ren Tianqing walked into Annie's side without any warning and pressed a short knife to the opponent's throat, holding Annie hostage and taking a step back. Lu Xinyao quickly turned around and pressed her back against Ren Tianqing's back, pointing the gun at Elena: "No one moves!"
In just a few seconds, both leaders of the Tulip family fell into our hands. Tulip members raised their guns at the same time and surrounded Ren Tianqing and Lu Xinyao. Some people pointed their guns at my back: "What do you want to do?"
I said calmly: "Take your guns away, we won't hurt you..."
Before I could finish my words, the roof on the back of the church collapsed. The broken roof moved forward one foot at a time and reached the top of our heads. The main beams across our heads made a rattling sound, as if it could be smashed at any time. Falling.
Someone shouted sternly: "Take Miss Anne away quickly, the house is going to collapse."
Ren Tianqing glanced at me quietly, and suddenly drew back her short knife: "Don't move anyone, be careful to cut her throat."
As soon as Ren Tianqing finished speaking, the muzzle of a gun was put on my head: "You let him go, otherwise, I will shoot his head off."
While the two people were shouting at each other, there was a sudden loud noise from the side of the church, like being hit by a truck. The beams on the roof suddenly rotated a few inches under the huge impact, and they were stuck on the sub-beams and rocked back and forth like a seesaw. , may fall from the sky at any time and smash us into meat patties.
The floating soil on the ceiling rustled down more like running water. Before the strings of dust could fall to the ground, they flew up in the night wind, instantly blurring my vision.
Elena shouted sternly: "Wang Huan, what on earth are you doing? The house is going to collapse. Please take the lady away quickly."
"It can't collapse!" The moment I gently dusted off the dirt on my body, the church door suddenly fell into pieces under a huge impact. The billowing black gas was like a mad dragon, surging in from the broken door, with a ghostly cry. The howling star formation rushes from the edge.
"Get away!" Elena screamed.
"Do it!" I roared from my Dantian, instantly drowning out everyone's voices.
When Ye Xun raised his hands from behind, two fireballs shot out from his hands, rushing wildly into the black mist. They exploded deep into the smoke, and the dark red firelight and dark smoke gathered together and scattered. Dancing wildly, the howling black mist was like gunpowder smoke from an explosion, and the fireworks rolled and scattered in all directions, filling the entire church in the blink of an eye.
Ye Xun's Taoism is not so powerful. Only a small part of the two fireballs just now came from his talismans, and most of the power came from the aura emitted by Ye Xun. Of course, Li Xiaomao must also have contributed to this. She is better at making the impossible happen.
But I didn't have time to study the two fireballs carefully at that time. However, he crossed his arms and looked at the billowing smoke and said, "Friends, we meet again."
In the thick smoke that filled the sky, an old voice came: "I don't like others to call me friend, especially, I don't like Easterners to call me that."
I sneered: "You don't like the names of Easterners, so do you like Easterners' Taoism?"
I waved my hand to Ye Xun: "Take out the things you look after and show them to that friend?"
After Ye Xun was stunned for a moment, he took out a Bagua Jade Tablet from his body and held it in the air.
I pointed to the jade sign and said, "This thing is called Bagua. If you haven't heard of it, it doesn't matter. I can explain it to you."
"Your five-pointed star array in the west gathers the four elements of earth, water, fire and wind. The Bagua includes not only earth, water, fire and wind, but also heaven, thunder, mountains and rivers. In other words, the Bagua can include everything in the universe, and the Bagua array is also the most important element in the world. There is no other powerful formation. The Bagua formation can not only block demons, but also fight back."
I paused deliberately at this point and said: "Unfortunately, this friend of mine can set up the Bagua array. Do you want to break into the Bagua array and try the power of Eastern Taoism?"
The voice said in a low voice: "What do you want to say?"
I sneered and said: "You are the only devil here, so why do you pretend to be a devil? I don't mind cooperating with the devil, but the prerequisite for cooperation must be equality."
"What did you say?" The members of the Tulip family looked at me at the same time.
I waved my hand and said, "Let Annie go! My goal has been achieved."
After Ren Tianqing let go of Annie, she naturally stood behind me without even looking at the Tulip members who were eyeing her.
Anne whispered: "You said that the devil just now was also him?"
I sneered and said: "There is no pentagram here at all, let alone the so-called devil's contract. It's all the guy in the black smoke who is doing it. He wants to establish a contract with us, so he deliberately does such a series of tricks. . His purpose is to make us feel that we have fallen into a desperate situation, and we will only make a contract with him as a last resort."
I said in a deep voice: "He is the legendary demon who was imprisoned in the dark castle. I bet you that he is so weak now that he doesn't even have the strength to kill us."
As I spoke, I took a step out of the five-pointed star array.
