Ye Jin said as he ran: "Zhaozi, what should we do?"
"Let's get out of here first." Although I found three ghost eye coins from my equipment, I didn't have time to check the status of the ghost eye coins. And I couldn't calculate my fate in this state of escape. The only thing I could do was to temporarily avoid the sharp edge of the prison guards and then slowly find a way to get out.
Before Ye Jin and I ran far, we heard the sound of chains shaking behind us. Before I could turn around, someone shouted, "Stop, or you will be killed without mercy!"
"Stand by your mother!" Ye Jin turned around suddenly, and the machete flew out of his hand. The long knife instantly turned into a buzzing, cold and dazzling knife wheel, and swept straight in the direction where the sound came from. I also turned around and fired three green aphid darts in a row, cooperating with Ye Jin to attack the jailer.
The jailer holding the iron chain completely ignored the flying sword, allowing the whistling sword to sweep across his body, still dragging the chain step by step towards Ye Jin and me.
"Run!" I saw Ye Jin's long sword piercing through the jailer's body as if it had cut into a phantom and then flying back into his hand. I simply didn't even bother to see whether the Green Fly Dart hit the opponent. I called Ye Jin and turned around and ran out.
The jailer continued to follow us at a leisurely pace: "I want to see how far you can run. When you get tired, I will pierce your scapula and lead you back like a dog. Run as long as you can."
I glanced behind me twice, pulled out the Rakshasa and put the Ghost Eye Money on it, causing the Ghost Eye Money to spin wildly on the blade. In just a moment, the Ghost Eye Money suddenly pointed behind us.
I was slightly startled and turned around and shouted, "Go back and fight him!"
I raised my knife and rushed towards the jailer, and Ye Jin followed and surrounded the jailer on the other side. When we rushed towards our opponents from the left and right, the jailer sneered and said, "You dare to look back? I want to see how many punishments you can survive!"
After the jailer shook the chains, I took a wrong step and slipped past him. At the same time, Ye Jin's figure also swayed, and he quickly dodged the range of the other party's iron chain, protecting me behind him and rushing forward.
I had no intention of fighting with the other party, and the separate sprints were just to get away.
Although Gu Piaoran has been lying to me all the time, his methods of dealing with the jailers are trustworthy. At least the prison warden died in front of us.
The jailer found out that we were making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, and he actually laughed and said, "So that's all you have. If you want to play, I'll play with you. It just so happens that I'm bored!"
The jailer's wild laughter only lasted a few seconds before he suddenly exploded in anger and said, "You two are looking for death!"
The jailer had probably figured out that the direction we were rushing towards was exactly where he had hidden the soul puppet, and in a rage he raised the iron chain and hit us from behind.
When Ye Jin and I turned around at the same time, the sky full of shadows was already pressing down on us like a dark cloud covering the sky.
"Open!" Ye Jin and I roared at the same time. The flashing sword lights from the two long swords were like the scorching sun, rushing up from the bottom to the iron chain.
The jailer's body couldn't be attacked, but the iron chain in his hand was real. Our blades collided with the iron chain in the air, and sparks flashed in the sky like a rainstorm. The chain that fell from the sky was shaken back into the air by the two of us.
If the opponent was a living person, the energy of the two of us would be enough to shake open the opponent's tiger's mouth and make him seriously injured. Unfortunately, I only saw the iron chain soaring into the sky, and the opponent's body did not move at all.
The next moment, the jailer on the opposite side actually punched us with both fists. Ye Jin and I blocked the opponent's fists with our swords at the same time, and the Xuanming Qi also burst out from my hands.
The jailer's punch at me first broke the ice layer created by the Xuanming Qi, and then hit my sword.
The opponent's body was slightly blocked by me, and the fist rushing towards Ye Jin also slowed down. But the jailer suddenly moved sideways in a flash, and his outstretched fist suddenly focused on Ye Jin's blade.
Under the opponent's huge force, Ye Jin was flipped upside down, and he turned twice in the air before he neutralized the opponent's force and fell to the ground.
At the moment when the jailer and Ye Jin were fighting sideways, they just moved away from us, and the jailer also exposed half of his body to me.
I immediately let go of Luosha and punched him in the left rib. When the Xuanming Qi surged out of my hand, the air around me seemed to condense, and the invisible and intangible murderous intent seemed to turn into bloodthirsty coldness with the surging energy and penetrate into the opponent's body, and condensed into a ball of ice between his chest and abdomen.
After my successful attack, I immediately kicked up the Rakshasa who was falling to the ground, retreated violently with the long sword in my hand, stood one meter away, and chopped down at the opponent's head with the sword.
The target of my sword was not the jailer, but the ice condensed in his body.
After Rakshasa's blade struck down the jailer's head unhindered, it collided with the ice in his body. The shattered ice immediately broke out of the jailer's body and rushed in all directions like a hidden weapon breaking through the wind.
My knife strike was effective, and I took two steps back. But when I stopped, the jailer suddenly appeared in front of me and punched me. I was just a step slower, and the jailer staggered and retreated two meters away.
I couldn't stand still, but my heart had already sunk to the bottom.
The most bizarre thing about the Sin Jailer is that the warlock can never hurt him, but he can attack and kill the warlock at will. I always suspect that the essence of the Sin Jailer is some kind of evil spirit that is condensed together, so he would risk using the Xuanming Qi to attack the other party.
If my inference is correct, then when the Xuanming Qi condenses into ice, it will definitely wrap up a part of the opponent's evil energy. As long as the ice does not melt, I can slowly consume the opponent. The last time I raised my knife to chop the ice, it was also to break the evil energy wrapped in the ice into pieces, so as to prevent the opponent from recovering.
I never expected that my seemingly completely reasonable inference was not correct at all. Not only did I not hurt the other party at all, but the jailer actually sent me flying several meters away.
After the jailer succeeded in his attack, he did not continue to attack. Instead, he turned around and picked up the iron chain that had fallen on the ground, dragging the chain towards me step by step: "You are quite skilled! When a person like you is thrown into prison, the first thing you should do is to have your tendons cut. Otherwise, you will not behave. I am very good at cutting people's tendons, and I can use it on you."
Although I haven't been pushed to the point of desperation by the other party, my heart is still cold.
In front of that jailer, Ye Jin and I had no chance to fight back. How could we fight this battle? Even if we knew that the soul-sucking puppet was close at hand, what could we do? A distance of just over ten meters was like a world away for us.
I took a deep breath, raised the Rakshasa and raised the Xuanming Qi to the peak. A layer of fine snowflakes suddenly floated in the air within ten meters around me. I stood in the flying snow and pointed the knife at the jailer: "Come!"
“Haha…” the jailer sneered, “You want to compete in momentum? In the hundreds of years that I’ve been guarding this island, there have been many masters who are stronger than you, but in the end, they all died without a complete corpse and died with their eyes open. No one on the island can kill me.”
"Then let's try!" I wasn't trying to be crazy on purpose, but I wanted to hold him back so that Ye Jin could find the puppet. Although Ye Jin couldn't calculate, as long as he went in the direction I just ran, it shouldn't be difficult to find the puppet's location.
As the jailer approached me step by step, Ye Jin turned around and rushed over there with gritted teeth.
The jailer clearly saw Ye Jin's actions, but he didn't care at all: "You are quite clever, knowing how to make a feint to the east and attack in the west. However, I can make a bet with you that your companion can't find the puppet, do you believe it?"
I turned around suddenly and found that Ye Jin was really spinning around like a headless fly, hacking aimlessly with his machete, but he couldn't find the other party's puppet. In a short moment, Ye Jin began to move further and further away from me, and he waved his long knife wildly in the direction we came from, as if he was stunned.
Oh no!
Ye Jin and I both made the same mistake in thinking, that is, we both thought that the puppet used by the jailer to inhabit was something the size of the prison statue, or at least life-size.
But we forget that the objects that the ghost fox can inhabit can be large or small, from a ghost statue several meters high to a ring worn on the hand. Even if the jailer's soul-inhabiting object is only a palm-sized piece, if it is thrown on a deserted island, it will be enough for ordinary people to find it for a while, let alone the anxious Ye Jin.
The more anxious people are to find something, the harder it is to find it. Eventually, they become so anxious that they have to vent. Isn't this exactly what Ye Jin is experiencing now
As soon as I took a step, the jailer dodged and blocked my way: "This road is blocked. Wait until I catch you and cut your tendons, then I will deal with your useless accomplice."
Just when I was at my wit's end and ready to fight, a strange cry suddenly came from the bushes nearby. When the jailer and I looked over at the same time, we saw the grave robber Old Joe rushing towards the jailer like crazy with a shovel in his hand.
I don't know how Old Joe broke through the siege and ran all the way here, but from his blind eye and the wounds on his body, I can see that he must have gone through a hard battle.
"Mr. Wu, please leave!"
The jailer was stunned for only a moment, and Old Joe rushed to him, raised his shovel and slashed at the jailer with great ferocity. The jailer also swung the iron chain and hit Old Joe in the chest. (To be continued)
