The Anarchic Consort Novel - Chapter 668
Chapter 668: Xuan Bing Was Defeated With A Slap In The Face
“Baili Jia Jue, can you see that Alsatian?” Helian Wei Wei was certain that His Highness could see what the exorcists could not.
As expected, Baili Jia Jue replied succinctly in a muffled tone, “Yes.”
Helian Wei Wei continued, “Why is the Alsatian emitting a dark aura which seems rather different from the reaper’s aura?”
Baili Jia Jue furrowed his brows as he stared at Helian Wei Wei with a solemn gaze. “You can see the grievance in the Alsatian?”
Helian Wei Wei acknowledged, “Yes. It seems like the dark aura is getting increasingly powerful.”
Baili Jia Jue remained quiet as he continued to look at Helian Wei Wei with his sombre eyes. Is she the reincarnation of Phoenix Girl? Is this why she’s so sensitive toward the dark elements?
“What’s the matter?” When Helian Wei Wei received no response from Baili Jia Jue, she turned to look at him.
“Nothing much,” Baili Jia Jue spoke in an indifferent tone. “In most situations, even exorcists are not able to see that Alsatian unless they have achieved a certain level of cultivation.”
Helian Wei Wei was exhilarated. She gently raised her brows as if she was expecting a compliment from Baili Jia Jue. “Does it mean that I’m extraordinary?”
“Yes.” As Baili Jia Jue watched the smug Helian Wei Wei, his eyes sparkled with happiness, despite the fact that no one else sensed his overwhelming affection toward Helian Wei Wei.
After receiving the praise, Helian Wei Wei recomposed herself. “Is this Alsatian holding grudges against Xuan Bing?” Otherwise, why does it appear extremely bloodthirsty? Moreover, it seems so sorrowful and ready to attack regardlessly…
“You’re right.” Baili Jia Jue twitched the corner of his lips. Wearing a disdainful expression on his beautiful face, he continued, “Dogs are born loyal. Under usual circumstances, they are even willing to sacrifice their lives for their masters. However, Xuan Bing was too brutal toward his pet. Other than torturing it in public, he took away its life essence after its passing. Then, he repeatedly used its soul to practice the Art of Soul Binding, trapping its spirit within the mountain for years. Now, it’s finally gotten a chance to take revenge on Xuan Bing!”
When Baili Jia Jue finished his words, he immediately felt a cool breeze!
“Woof! Woof!”
Everyone heard the unusual yet relentless bark. The deep tone of the bark sent chills down their spines!
“Where does the sound come from?” The exorcists turned to their right as they tried to search for the source of the sound. They appeared extremely perturbed because, according to the Study of Yin and Yang, dogs had psychic powers and their barks indicated the arrival of the evil spirits.
All the ministers stood up with horrified expressions plastered on their faces. Since the start of the competition, the event had gotten increasingly inconceivable.
The dog’s bark resonated across the Great Hall, frightening everyone terribly.
What vicinity is the imperial palace located at?
This is where the Crown Prince stays.
With the tight security, how did this dog appear?
Unless…
Unless it’s a dead dog!
The ministers paled at the thought of it. They huddled together as they studied their surroundings while the deep and eerie bark continuously resounded across the Great Hall. The atmosphere was exceptionally sinister.
Xuan Bing could no longer contain his curiosity and turned to look at his left.
A face was resting on his left shoulder. It was pallor face with a pointed nose and thin lips. As if it had died a long time ago, it carried a chilly temperature.
However, that was not what horrified Xuan Bing. He was petrified because the pallor face appeared exactly the same as his!
Xuan Bing took a step back and his eyes were filled with dread, scaring the audience as well!
“Stand fast!” Zongzheng Wen Ren yelled outside the perimeter. “What you are seeing isn’t real. Stop moving around or you’ll ruin the entire formation!”
At this moment, Xuan Bing came to his senses. He straightened up and flexed his fingers. Before long, he was surrounded by the yellow runes again. However, this time, the runes were not glowing like before.
When he heard the first bark, Xuan Bing knew that he was in danger as he was no longer under the protection of the spiritual glow.
The Alsatian, which was covered in blood, was no longer hiding in the corner. It took a step forward in spite of its one lame leg. It stared at Xuan Bing with its bloodshot eyes before it pounced on Xuan Bing and tore him up with its sharp teeth!
Xuan Bing cursed under my breath before he kicked the Alsatian back. He raised his hand and was ready to recite incantation!
Helian Wei Wei recognized the deadly incantation that was used to destroy the targeted souls.
The Alsatian continued to stare at Xuan Bing with its crimson eyes that were filled with indescribable emotions.
Helian Wei Wei knew that this Alsatian was here to take revenge on Xuan Bing. However, if it was not for the Alsatian’s whining, the reaper on Xuan Bing’s left would have already broken the formation and took away his soul!
It seemed like animals were always more grateful than the humans.
Knowing that Xuan Bing raised it, it repaid his kindness before it took revenge on him.
The Alsatian still carried some empathy.
Yet, Xuan Bing’s only goal was to wipe the Alsatian off the face of the earth.
Otherwise, he would not have applied the most lethal spell in the Art of Exorcism, the Yin Yang incantation!
Helian Wei Wei looked into the Alsatian’s eyes and was disheartened. Then, she raised her palms and gathered her aura before she yelled, “Break!”
Helian Wei Wei’s spiritual aura was evidently stronger than Xuan Bing’s.
With Helian Wei Wei’s succinct command, the Yin Yang incantation lost its supposed spiritual power.
The Alsatian, which was initially trapped, revealed its sharp teeth once again and sunk its teeth into Xuan Bing’s neck!
The yellow runes fell onto the ground. Overwhelmed by excruciating pain, Xuan Bing knitted his brows. The next second, horror was written over his face like never before. He could feel a gust of wind that came along with the machete in the reaper’s hand as the reaper slowly approached him.
At this moment, Zongzheng Wen Ren flashed past. His plain white fur coat fluttered as he blocked in front of Xuan Bing with a wooden sword in his hand. The yellow runes levitated in the air again and protected Xuan Bing with a brighter glow.
At this instant, the reaper and the Alsatian retreated in synchrony.
Unfortunately, Zongzheng Wen Ren could not see the Alsatian but only the reaper.
Xuan Bing’s pupils contracted out of shock. After a while, he recomposed himself and greeted, “Your Highness.”
“Get up,” Zongzheng Wen Ren spoke with an icy tone.
Knowing that he had blown things out of proportion, Xuan Bing cupped his hand around his injured neck as he stood up. There was no physical cut on his neck, but it was stained by the dark aura. Besides feeling guilty, Xuan Bing was infuriated.
He had cast the Yin Yang incantation. Yet, the Alsatian was able to counter his attack!
Unbeknownst to Xuan Bing, the Alsatian was not the one that countered his attack. Instead, it was the silent Helian Wei Wei who had been standing in the corner all this time.
Now, the Alsatian had returned to its originally invisible form and was only visible to Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue.
In the dark, the Alsatian limped toward Helian Wei Wei with its injured left foot. Then, it got down on its knees.
Although Helian Wei Wei did not understand the dog’s language, she knew that this dog was grateful for her help. Helian Wei Wei figured that since she knew the Art of Yin and Yang, she should probably help the Alsatian’s soul to rest in peace.
Unexpectedly, the Alsatian shook its head before it stood unyieldingly before Helian Wei Wei, as though it had sworn to protect her…
某殿下肯定能看到驱魔师们看不到的东西.
果然,百里迦爵低低的嗓音传了过来,一个简单的:”嗯.”字.
赫连薇薇继续问道:”那条狼狗浑身好像都散发着一股黑气,和鬼差散发的气不一样,这是为什么?”
百里迦爵皱了下眉头,眸光有些发沉:”你能看到狼狗身上的怨气?”
赫连薇薇嗯了一声之后道:”那黑气好像越来越厉害了.”
百里迦爵没有说话,而是看着赫连薇薇,双眸越来越沉,是因为是凤女转世么?所以才会对黑暗之物这么敏感?
“怎么了?”赫连薇薇听不到百里迦爵的回应,眸光转了过来.
“没什么.”百里迦爵嗓音很淡:”通常情况下,就算是驱魔师也看不到那只狼狗,除非到达一定的修行.”
赫连薇薇来了兴致,眉头微挑,一副快来夸奖我的表情:”那岂不是说明我很厉害?”
“嗯.”百里迦爵看着她那嚣张纨绔的劲儿,眼底划过了一道笑意,带着不为人知的宠溺.
赫连薇薇得了夸奖,思绪倒是冷静了:”这只狼狗是不是和玄冰有什么仇?”否则不会这么阴狠,而且在它的身上除了阴狠之外,还有一种不顾一切的伤悲…
“没错.”百里迦爵勾了下嘴角,俊美的侧脸充满了嘲弄:”狗原本是最忠心的.通常情况下,只要主人需要,它们甚至可以为了主人去死如果不是玄冰太过分,人前虐待毒打它,在它死之后,还将它的所有精气都吸走了,一次次的用它的魂魄,练习缚灵之术,它也不至于被困在山里数年不得安息,现在到了它要报复的时候了.”
百里迦爵的话音刚落,就见一阵阴风吹了过来!
“汪!汪!”
所有人都听到了那不同寻常的狗吠,一声接着一声,音调低的让人发冷!
“哪来的声音?”驱魔师们朝着右侧看了一眼,一个个紧张到了极点,在阴阳学里,狗能通灵,狗吠则是恶鬼将临!
大臣们也都站了起来,脸上露出了无法的形容的恐怖,从比试开始,一件接一件的事,已经超出了他们的认知.
现在大殿上响起的狗吠声,更是让他们从心底感觉到了发毛.
皇宫是什么地界.
那可是天子呆的地方.
里里外外多少重兵把守着,怎么会有狗出现?
除非…
除非那只狗已经死了!
想到这个可能,大臣们的脸色变的更加的惨白了,每一个人都挨着另外一个人,左顾右盼着,阴沉的狗吠声无孔不入的回荡在大殿中央,显得异常的空灵.
玄冰像是再也忍不住了,悄悄的侧过头去朝着自己的侧面看了一眼.
一张脸正贴在他的左肩上,没有血色,挺鼻薄唇,像是死了很久了,浑身都透着凉气.
但这并不是让玄冰恐惧的理由,而是那张脸的五官,分明就是他自己的!
玄冰重重的向后退了一步,双眸里露出来的惊恐,让所有人都感觉到了可怕!
“稳住!”宗政闻人在外围低吼了一声:”你看到的都不是真的,不要再乱动,否则阵法就坏了!”
玄冰这时才一个激灵,手指一用力,立直了身形,那些黄符重新围在了他四周,只是再也没有亮起来.
从狗吠的那一声起,玄冰就知道自己这一次危险了,此时没有了灵光护体.
浑身是血的狼狗,不再蜷缩在角落里,而是向前走了一步,瘸着一只腿,两眼发红的朝着玄冰扑了过来!疯了一般的撕咬!
玄冰低咒了一声,伸腿将那狼狗踹开,抬起手来就要念咒!
赫连薇薇听出来了,那是要魂魄烟消云散的毒咒!
狼狗的眼睛就这么看着玄冰,猩红中带着其他说不出的东西.
赫连薇薇知道这只狼狗是来复仇的,但是没有狼狗刚才叫那么一声的话,站在玄冰左侧的鬼差早就突破阵法,直接勾走玄冰的魂了!
从某些方面来看,动物比人类还要知道感恩.
当初是玄冰将它养大的,它要报这一恩,然后再报仇.
狼狗尚且还留着情.
但玄冰却是一心一意要将狼狗从这个世上彻底消毁.
否则也不会用驱魔术里最毒的阴阳咒!
赫连薇薇看着那只狼狗的眼睛,只是一个心思低转,手掌微起,聚气成灵:”破!”
很显然赫连薇薇的灵气要比玄冰的浓厚.
有了赫连薇薇那一声破字.
阴阳咒便失去了原本该有的灵力.
原本困在原地的狼狗,再次亮出了自己的獠牙,一口咬在了玄冰的脖颈上!
黄符落下,玄冰吃疼的皱起了眉头,一下秒脸上便充满了前所未有恐惧,他能感觉到鬼差的镰刀带来的风,寸寸逼近!
就在这个时候,宗政闻人身形一晃,素白的裘毛外衫腾起,拿着桃木剑的手挡在了他的面前,黄符重新腾起,以更亮的灵光护住了玄冰的身.
不管是鬼差还是狼狗,都在这个时候向后退了一步.
但是宗政闻人并没有看到那只狼狗,他只能看到鬼差.
玄冰瞳孔微缩着,吓的半响才回过神来:”太,太子殿下.”
“起来.”宗政闻人的声音很冷.
玄冰知道自己这次失误失大发了,捂着发疼的脖子起身,哪里并没有破,却多了一股黑气,除了心虚还有难掩的愤怒.
本来他都下了阴阳咒了,也不知道那狼狗怎么回事,竟然有能力反击他?
玄冰哪里知道,反击他的不是狼狗,而是站在角落里,一直没有说话的赫连薇薇.
到了现在,狼狗的身形又恢复了原本隐藏的状态,只有赫连薇薇和百里迦爵能够看到.
那狼狗在黑暗中,左腿一拐一拐的朝着赫连薇薇走了过去,然后另外一只腿也跪了下来.
即便赫连薇薇不懂犬语,也明白这只狼狗是在感激她,赫连薇薇想了想,觉得自己既然会阴阳之术,倒不如就将这只狼狗超度了.
没想到的是,狼狗竟摇了摇厚重的头,执意的站在她的身前,一副要保护她的姿态…
