Chapter 278: Red Rain
Chapter 278: Red Rain
After seeing Yun Zhen, Ji Anni didn't care about anything else and stepped over Yan Niang's head. Seeing that Ji Anni dared to despise her like this, Yan Niang didn't bother to be polite with Ji Anni and rushed over to bite Ji Anni's ankle.
"Ah!" Ji Annie screamed in pain again. Her body suddenly tilted and she fell heavily to the ground.
Yan Niang's teeth were as sharp as knives, and one bite would leave a bloody wound.
After Ji Anni fell, she subconsciously reached out to touch the wound and felt blood on her hand.
She was in so much pain that she couldn't even stand up, let alone run. She could only glare at Yan Niang with resentment.
Yan Niang walked back and forth in front of her threateningly, warning her with her eyes not to take another step forward.
"My Lady!" Yun Zhen's heart jumped to his throat when he saw Ji Anni injured. He wanted to rush over directly, but he had to take into consideration Taoist Yuan Rong who was close at hand. If Taoist Yuan Rong knew that he could pass through the seal, he would undoubtedly be questioned.
Taoist Yuan Rong became even more excited when he saw that the fox demon had been forced in front of him. He cast blasting spells one after another, as if he wanted to blow up the cave and kill the fox demon together with him.
"Master! Master!" Yun Zhen shouted but no one responded. At this moment, the only thing left in Master Yuan Rong's eyes was the fox demon.
"Damn it, stinky Taoist..." Yan Niang gritted her teeth in anger. The cave was collapsing and had blocked the retreat route to the size of a dog hole. Yan Niang's body could barely get through, but Ji Anni would never be able to escape.
"Master! Stop chanting! The cave is about to collapse!" Yun Zhen roared, and his voice accelerated the collapse of the cave.
When he saw Ji Anni being hit by the rubble and unable to raise her head, his chest ached and he wanted to rush over to protect Ji Anni. And the most unwilling thing was that he could obviously rush over to help Ji Anni, but in front of Taoist Yuan Rong, he did not dare to act rashly.
Seeing that a huge rock was about to fall from Ji Anni's head, Yun Zhen shouted anxiously: "My queen! Be careful!"
Ji Anni's legs had been bitten by Yan Niang, and she couldn't stand up at all. The cave filled with rubble had become very narrow, and even if her legs and feet could move, she couldn't find a place to hide.
Taoist Yuan Rong was still chanting the blasting spell. Under the power of the spell, the whole cave was shaking violently like a cradle. It seemed that Taoist Yuan Rong had made up his mind and would not give up until the fox demon was forced out.
"Damn Taoist priest, don't be so complacent!" Yan Niang was also irritated and her body emitted a red light.
"Yan Niang! Don't!" Seeing Yan Niang wanted to attack Yuan Rong, Ji Anni rushed over and hugged Yan Niang tightly in her arms.
The cave is about to collapse now. If Yan Niang and Taoist Yuan Rong fight again, it will only accelerate the collapse of the cave.
"Monster! Get out here now!" Taoist Yuan Rong wished he could blow the entire tunnel into powder. The Tai Chi pattern on his palm suddenly grew larger, becoming as big as an umbrella - it seemed he was about to deliver a final blow.
"Break!" With the roar of Taoist Yuan Rong, the deafening explosion sounded again.
In an instant, gravel and dust fell rapidly from the top of the cave like rain.
The entire cave was filled with a cloud of black smoke, as if it had fallen into a chimney.
Taoist Yuan Rong himself was choked by the black smoke and started coughing. The falling rocks also left many wounds on his body. But he completely ignored his own pain, used his sleeves to disperse the black smoke, and stared wide-eyed to search for the fox demon.
Although the cave was about to be destroyed, the seal of the Ghost King was still intact, without any signs of cracking.
Through this translucent seal, Taoist Yuan Rong rubbed his eyes and observed the situation on the other side of the seal intently.
At this time, the explosion had stopped, the black smoke in the cave gradually settled, and a human figure appeared.
What was incredible was that the figure was a little too big, not like one person, but rather like two people pressed tightly together.
At first, Taoist Yuan Rong thought it was a fox demon that had transformed into a human form and was pressed tightly against Ji Anni, but upon closer inspection, he discovered that the extra figure was a man - and a very familiar man at that.
"National Master..." Taoist Yuan Rong couldn't believe his eyes and thought he had seen it wrong. He rubbed his eyes excitedly and looked again. This time he could see more clearly - the figure was indeed Yun Zhen!
At the moment of the explosion, Yun Zhen broke through the seal, rushed to Ji Anni, hugged Ji Anni tightly in his arms, and used his body to block the rocks that were falling madly on Ji Anni's head.
Yun Zhen's white clothes had long been stained black by dust, and there were a few faint bloodstains on her exposed cheeks and backs of her hands.
"Yun Zhen..." Ji Anni, who had just come to her senses, reached out and subconsciously touched the wound on Yun Zhen's face.
Although the injury was not serious, Ji Annie's eyes were still stung by the faint trace of blood.
The last thing she wanted to see was Yun Zhen getting hurt. Whenever she saw Yun Zhen getting hurt, or saw an expression of pain and endurance on his face, she wished she was the one getting hurt, and that she could bear all the pain for him.
What Ji Anni pays attention to is completely different from what Yan Niang pays attention to.
Ji Anni was paying attention to Yun Zhen's wound, while Yan Niang was paying attention to how Yun Zhen could suddenly rush over?
Could it be that the seal of the Ghost King was broken by Yun Zhen? No, that's not right. Taoist Yuan Rong is still blocked outside by the seal. Could it be that...
There was only one possibility left, that is, Yun Zhen was not blocked by this seal! But, was this really possible? Wasn't Yun Zhen a Taoist priest? If he was a Taoist priest, he would never be able to pass this seal. Could it be that Yun Zhen was not a Taoist priest? If not a Taoist priest, then what was he?
In that short moment, Yan Niang's mind was in chaos several times.
"Impossible...Impossible..." Taoist Yuan Rong, who was on the other side of the seal, was as confused as Yan Niang.
He stared blankly at Yun Zhen on the other side of the seal, muttering the word "impossible" over and over again.
How could Yun Zhen just rush through a seal that couldn't be broken even with a blasting spell?
There was no time to think about it, as a huge rock above Ji Annie's head began to shake precariously.
Just as it was about to fall, Yan Niang let out a loud scream.
As the shout rang out, the huge rock fell down like a guillotine!
The stone fell right on top of Yun Zhen and Ji Annie's heads. In just a split second, before their brains could react to dodge, the boulder had already fallen.
With a "pop" sound, Ji Anni felt something pressing down heavily.
Although the force was strong, it was soft, because what was pressing on Ji Anni was not a boulder, but Yun Zhen's body.
"Yun Zhen..." Ji Anni tried to open her eyes, but all she saw was darkness, because her vision was completely blocked by Yun Zhen's body. Not only her vision, but her entire body was completely blocked by Yun Zhen.
Ji Anni struggled slightly in Yun Zhen's arms, trying to look up to see if Yun Zhen was injured.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a drop of strange liquid falling on her head. The touch was like a sudden raindrop from the sky, big and heavy, as big as a soybean when it fell on the ground, foreshadowing the coming of a thunderstorm.
Sure enough, soon the same feeling of raindrops was felt in other places on the top of my head.
The raindrops fell more and more, and finally flowed down Ji Annie's forehead and cheeks.
At this moment, Ji Anni felt a hint of warmth and a fishy smell in the raindrops...
She touched her face which was wet by the raindrops, then raised her palm to her eyes and saw a shocking blood-red color.
My heart twitched violently at that moment, and my body trembled slightly uncontrollably.
"Yun Zhen... Yun Zhen..." Ji Anni murmured his name while trying to raise her head.
Now her face was buried in Yun Zhen's chest, and the back of her head was held tightly by Yun Zhen's hand.
If Yun Zhen didn't let go, she wouldn't be able to move at all.
"My lady, don't move..." Yun Zhen's weak voice gently floated into Ji Anni's ears. In just five words, it seemed that he had exhausted all his strength.
Half of Yun Zhen's body had been buried in the rubble, with his shoulders and back still being pressed by the huge rock that had suddenly fallen just now. There was a lot of messy rubble piled on the rock.
If Yun really moved his body slightly, the gravel might slide down his back and injure Ji Annie.
In order to prevent Ji Anni from getting hurt, he stood still with the pile of rocks on his back.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and Taoist Yuan Rong and Yan Niang stared motionlessly at Yun Zhen buried under the boulder. Taoist Yuan Rong forgot to catch the monster, and Yan Niang forgot to fight back, their eyes were firmly fixed on Yun Zhen and Ji Anni.
Yun Zhen's head was seriously injured, and the blood drops that fell on Ji Annie's head were all dripping from Yun Zhen's head.
The bright red blood quickly flowed down Yun Zhen's cheeks and neck, staining Yun Zhen's entire shirt red.
Yun Zhen felt a little dizzy due to excessive blood loss, but he didn't dare close his eyes, for fear that he would fall into a coma after closing his eyes.
If he fainted, who would protect Ji Anni, and who would help Ji Anni block the intermittent falling rubble?
"My lady...you are not hurt?"
About two or three minutes had passed since he said "My Queen, don't move" before Yun Zhen finally caught his breath and uttered this second sentence.
After hearing his voice, Ji Anni's tears couldn't stop flowing from her eyes.
The injured person was obviously Yun Zhen, and the person bleeding profusely was obviously Yun Zhen, but he was concerned about whether he was injured or not...
Ji Anni's throat choked instantly and she couldn't utter a word.
He just turned every sound into painful sobs and tried his best to endure it, fearing that Yun Zhen would be sad after hearing it.
At this moment, she discovered that Yun Zhen's hair suddenly turned red - the color of blood.
Yun Zhen's hair once turned silver-white for Concubine Baogui, and now it has turned a dazzling red for himself.
"Yun Zhen..." Ji Anni's eyes were stung by the bright red, and tears rolled down her cheeks in pain.
