Chapter 286 Sister and Brother

at the same time.

In the northern part of Yuxu Swamp, Huazhi was caught in a bitter battle.

In mid-air, a big red bird with a wingspan of about ten feet fluttered in the air, shaking off countless flame-like long red feathers. The feathers exploded in the air, turning into fist-sized fireballs, heading towards the ground below. Flower branches fell.

Knowing that he had nowhere to hide, Huazhi suddenly planted his hands on the ground. Dozens of vines around him instantly sprang out of the soil, intertwined and woven into a purple-black vine cage around and above him.

The next moment, the fireballs collided with the rattan cage and exploded one after another. The scattered flames fell on the rattan, instantly turning it into a rolling fireball.

However, because Huazhi was protected by the "True Water Ring", an auxiliary magic weapon given by Yuan Ming, the flames did not really ignite the vines. Even so, Huazhi did not dare to let the flames crawl back to his body along the vines. After quickly throwing the rattan cage to the side, he retracted his hands and cut off the connection with the rattan.

Without the vine cage of the flower branches, it lost the fire-proofing effect of the "True Water Ring" and exploded under the burning flames. The flame-stained vines shattered on the ground, followed by a sheet of white smoke, which was actually evaporated by the high temperature of the flames. Foggy swamp vapor.

As the water vapor steamed, the flower branch heard another sharp phoenix call. Looking up, he saw the big red bird circling half a circle in the sky, then suddenly leaned down and crashed directly towards him.

Huazhi immediately dodged backwards, and at the same time waved his hands in front of him, a flash of green light suddenly flashed, and dozens of wooden flying swords were condensed and shot towards the big red bird.

However, the big red bird did not dodge, and hit the flying sword.

The flying sword pierced the body of the big red bird, but it was like piercing an illusory object. It passed through the body without stopping at all, taking away only the sparks and burning the flying sword into ashes.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Huazhi immediately wanted to escape from the ground, but as soon as he made a move, he saw a talisman shot out from a distance and landed on the ground not far away.

In an instant, the originally soft and moist ground within a few feet of the flower branch became as hard as rock, making it impossible for him to drill into it.

Huazhi had no choice but to cross his arms at the last moment and turned into a wooden shield in front of him, trying to block the collision of the big red bird.

However, the moment the big red bird was about to hit the flower branch, it completely collapsed from beginning to end and turned into several red flame chains, tying the flower branch tightly.

Huazhi immediately struggled, but the more he struggled, the tighter the chains became. However, for some reason, although the chains were transformed by flames, there was no sign of spreading towards him.

"I didn't expect that you, a monster, have some tricks up your sleeve. If I hadn't happened to have a soil-fixing talisman on my body, I would have really escaped from you."

Not far away, a young man wearing a red-striped dragon robe and a gold and jade belt around his waist walked out of the woods.

The man's appearance is quite handsome, with a high nose, fair complexion, and eyes as bright as leaping flames. His hair color is particularly special, it is black with red, and the flowing hair makes him look very handsome. Every man is a little more charming.

"You are lucky today. I am missing a spiritual pet. From now on, you will follow me." The man smiled.

"I already have a master!" Hua Zhi shouted in her heart, her body twisting and turning.

However, the man couldn't see Huazhi's voice and said to himself: "Haha, looking at you like this, you must be extremely happy. After all, being able to follow me, Di Chen, is a blessing you have earned in eight lifetimes."

At this moment, a white jade shuttle suddenly flew from the horizon and landed not far away.

Yuan Ming stepped off the shuttle and frowned when he saw the flower branches tied up with flame chains. However, he breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that the flower branches seemed to be fine.

"Fellow Taoist, this is the spiritual beast that I raise here. I don't know why I have angered you, so please be kind and let him go." Yuan Ming cupped his hands towards Di Chen and said politely.

"Your spirit beast? Do you have proof?" Di Chen looked at Yuan Ming and frowned slightly.

"Have you ever noticed the jade ring on his body, fellow Taoist? This is the fire-proof weapon I left for him." Yuan Ming said.

Hearing this, Di Chen pinched the magic weapon, and the flame chain binding the flower branches squirmed like a long snake, and soon he took off the true water ring on the flower branches.

"Tsk, tsk, you can give the spirit beast a high-grade magical weapon for self-defense. It seems that you really care for this spirit beast. However, I also have a good affinity with him. Why don't you give me a price? How many spirit stones are you willing to give him? Transfer it to me?" Di Chen looked at the real water ring and asked.

Yuan Ming shook his head: "I'm sorry, for me, Huazhi is both a spiritual beast and a partner, and is definitely not someone whose price can be judged based on spiritual stones."

"Haha, don't worry. If you think about it carefully, will you really not sell it?" Di Chen narrowed his eyes, and his whole body was filled with spiritual energy.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Ming sighed, raised his right hand, and a green flying sword appeared out of thin air, the tip of the sword pointing directly at Di Chen.

Di Chen's eyes flashed, he kneaded with one hand, opened his mouth suddenly and spat out, and a small red bird flew out of his mouth. With a flap of its wings, it swelled to about ten feet long.

Yuan Ming no longer hesitated. He silently made a sword gesture with one hand and controlled the green flying sword to stab Di Chen. At the same time, he also pinched the sword formula with his other hand and pointed towards Di Chen's feet.

In an instant, four or five long green wood dragons emerged from the ground and rushed toward Di Chen.

However, Di Chen was not afraid at all. With a change in the technique in his hand, the big red bird in the sky suddenly exploded and turned into dozens of flaming swords, roaring down from the sky and nailing the wooden dragon to the ground.

At the same time, Di Chen also had a red long sword in his other hand. Under his control, he fought against the flying sword.

Yuan Ming saw that his attack was easily blocked by him, and his face suddenly darkened. Seeing him like this, Di Chen showed a smug look on his face. Just as he was about to mock him, he was suddenly shocked.

An inexplicable chill climbed up Di Chen's back. Without thinking, he flipped his right hand and slapped a talisman on his body.

The next moment, a red light suddenly lit up on his body, and the hot fire waves rippled like ripples, blowing away the black needles from behind.

If he had reacted a step slower, he would have been pierced by the black needles.

Di Chen looked at Yuan Ming with lingering fear and said, "Good tricks."

Yuan Ming didn't answer at all. While raising his hand to release the King Kong, he wanted to cast a spell.

But at this moment, Di Chen's face suddenly changed, and he immediately recalled the red long sword and untied the chain that bound the flower branch.

"You are lucky today. We will fight again another day." Di Chen said a harsh word, then took out the flying magic weapon and fled to the east.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming suspected that there was a trick, so he did not chase him, nor did he relax his vigilance.

But after a long time, he did not see Di Chen come back, or launch a sneak attack in secret.

He was confused and was about to ask Hua Zhi about the situation, but suddenly, another red light fell from the sky and landed in front of Yuan Ming.

In the red light, a capable woman wearing a long dress with gold-rimmed fire patterns and a ponytail came out.

Her skin was as white as jade, and her slender eyebrows covered her deep eyes like stars. A touch of red lips was like a blooming red lotus, bright and tempting.

Her hair color was similar to Di Chen's, also black with red, but it was not coquettish, but added a bit of heroic spirit.

She scanned the surroundings and found traces of the fight between Di Chen and Yuan Ming. She frowned and bowed to Yuan Ming.

"May I ask this Taoist friend, did you fight with a man with similar hair color to mine just now?"

"Yes, he suddenly ran to the east halfway through the fight." Yuan Ming nodded.

"Sure enough, my brother has caused trouble for you. If you have any grievances, you can go to the Five Elements Inn in Xiaohu City and leave a message, saying that you are looking for Di Yue from the Fire Sparrow Sect. When I catch my brother, I will definitely bring him to apologize." Before Di Yue finished speaking, he had already boarded the flying magic weapon. When the word "sin" fell, he had already chased Di Chen in the direction of his escape for dozens of feet.

Yuan Ming looked at the red light that was flying away quickly, and he was complaining in his heart.

He had a fight with someone for no reason. Although he didn't really get angry, this inexplicable fight really made people feel a little depressed, and this sister was even more impetuous, even talking as if she was in a hurry.

But the Fire Sparrow Sect is located in the eastern part of Dajin, how come it has come to the vicinity of Xiaohu City now?

Yuan Ming's mind turned, and he turned his head to Huazhi and said: "I think your injuries are almost healed. You should stay with me recently to avoid being captured by other cultivators as a monster."

Huazhi wanted to refute that she was not that weak, but she was almost caught just now, so she couldn't say anything to defend herself, and could only nod in frustration.

At this moment, King Kong jumped down from a tree not far away, patted his chest at Huazhi, and laughed undisguisedly:

"Dou Ya was almost burned as firewood this time."

"Monkey, come out and fight me if you have the guts!" Huazhi was furious and immediately started to show his teeth and claws.

"Okay, okay, let's go back first." Yuan Ming said, and without waiting for the two to speak, he patted the storage bag on his waist and put Huazhi and King Kong away respectively.

He shook his head, drove the magic weapon, and flew towards Xiaohu City.

…

A few months later.

Outside Xiaohu City, the continuous drizzle soaked the earth, and in the dark clouds, thunder rumbled like waves, lingering between heaven and earth.

The weather was gloomy as usual, but in today's sky, in addition to the dark clouds, there were occasional streams of magic weapons passing from the sky and falling in front of the city gate, like a meteor falling to the ground, turning into one monk after another in different clothes.

Under the azure shield, Xiaohu City today also seemed particularly lively.

There were many more monks on the street than in the past. Among the surging crowds, many monks wearing light blue long robes with a square high-rise pattern painted on their backs were guiding the crowds and maintaining order in the city.

They were all the city lord's personal guards. On weekdays, they were only responsible for guarding the city lord's mansion. It was difficult for residents in the city to see them. Only on such an important day as today, they would appear on the streets, filling the vacancy of the city guards and showing the majesty and order of the city lord's mansion to the monks coming and going.

On both sides of the street, shops hung flower decorations in front of their doors and put up discount signs. This one was offering 50% off, that one was offering 40% off. They all looked like they had invested heavily. However, few people noticed that the original price signs above their discounted prices seemed to be much more expensive than usual.
