Big Moon Ballad

"who?"

The hand appeared too suddenly and too quickly, Ying Baoyue didn't notice the other party's breath in advance.

The person hid his body behind a tree, and the forest was very dark, so it was difficult to see his face clearly for a while.

"Who are you!"

Ying Baoyue wanted to stand up suddenly, but because she was still holding Li Chunlan in her arms, she couldn't stand up immediately, and her feet staggered in the pool of blood.

At this moment, Xiao Li Ji's eyes were firmly covered by this person's big palm. This person's palm was huge, and his hand was as skinny as a skeleton. With only one hand, he covered half of Xiao Li Ji's face. Face, firmly pinched the boy's skull, and squeezed the boy's head so hard that it creaked.

It's not so much a hand, it's more like countless withered vines, growing from the back of Li Ji's head, wrapping tightly around the upper half of his face.

"save……"

Xiao Li Ji grabbed the opponent's wrist violently, struggled desperately, and let out a mournful cry.

"stop!"

It stands to reason that if this person wanted to kill someone, he should have pinched the boy's throat instead of his eyes, but this person's actions were more ominous than murder.

"General..."

Li Chunlan struggled to push away Ying Baoyue's hand, "Leave me alone..."

Ying Baoyue was heartbroken, she put down Li Chunlan, and stood up from the pool of blood.At this time, I don't know if Xiao Li Ji's struggle angered the man, the veins on the back of the big palm covering Li Ji's eyes popped up, pinching the boy's head and lifting Li Ji up.

Black sludge dripped from between the fingers of the big palm, and slid down from the corner of Li Ji's eyes.

This person seems to be pouring something into Xiao Li Ji's eyes!

"Woooo!"

The young man scratched with his small hands, hung in mid-air with his calves and stared wildly, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"A Ji!"

Ying Baoyue's eyes were shattered, and before she had time to pull out the long sword stuck in Li Chunlan's belly, she rushed towards Xiao Li Ji with all her body.

At her speed, it was only a short split second.

Because she rushed too fast, her vision became blurred at high speed, and she finally saw the body of the man hiding behind the tree.

That's right, from the skeleton it was a man.

Although he has the shoulder width and arm length of a man, this man is not a burly man, but a slender man.He was wearing an empty black robe, and his whole body was like a clothes hanger.

It was too thin, like a skeleton wearing human clothes.

If it wasn't for the human skin covering his neck, Ying Baoyue would have regarded him as a skeleton.

He's more of a ghost than a skeleton.

Although the long robe on the man was dark and wrinkled, Ying Baoyue looked familiar to him.

Looking at the style, it actually looked a bit like a sacrificial dress, but it was a style from a long time ago. She seemed to have seen it somewhere when she was very young.

"who are you?"

Ying Baoyue opened her eyes wide. On the man's face was a carved wooden mask. The mask was a Shura face commonly seen in the north. She had seen similar masks in Hou Liao and Xirong in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

But unlike the masks she had seen, this one had no empty eye sockets.

It's a full-on mask.

This man did not show his eyes.

The eyes of the carved wood were painted with black lacquer, looking straight at her like the gods on the altar.

No one knew whether he could see or who he was looking at.

Facing Ying Baoyue's questioning, the man didn't answer, but put all his strength on the hand pinching Xiao Li Ji's eye socket.

Ying Baoyue remembered that she put a mask on little Li Ji before she left, but at this time he didn't wear it on his face for some reason.But now she can't think so much, combined with the mask on the man's face without eye sockets, the man's action of pinching Li Ji's eyes must have a deep meaning.

I'm afraid they are using sorcery to do something to Li Ji's eyes or even his brain!
Ying Baoyue's speed was already very fast, but the man's hand was even faster, and Xiao Li Ji suddenly let out a mournful cry, like scraping bones and marrow, and Ying Baoyue was heartbroken when he heard it.

This scream seemed to show that the man's means had penetrated into the deepest part of Li Ji's body, but the deepest part of the child's body was...

Everything happened too fast, so fast that Ying Baoyue had no time to react, think or stop.

Shah.

Shah.

Swish.

The flow of time seemed to stop, and the surroundings became quiet, as if entering an exotic fantasy.

No, this is not an illusion.

Ying Baoyue, who had rushed to Xiao Li Ji who was bound by the masked man, suddenly stopped and turned her head stiffly.

Time, indeed, has stopped.

The trembling leaves in the forest stopped in mid-air.Numerous figures of high-level practitioners appeared in the forest, their ferocious faces and knives were clearly visible, staying at the moment when they rushed towards them.

Li Chunlan lay in a pool of blood, and the blood gushing from her abdomen stopped flowing.

But the originally red blood was no longer bright red, but turned blue.

No, it wasn't the blood that turned blue, but everything around was shrouded in blue light.

The world has become a blue world.

Shua, Shua, Shua.

A small voice came from his ear, Ying Baoyue turned his head back and looked in front of him.

Little Li Ji, who was lifted by the man holding his head with one hand, stopped struggling at some point, his hands and feet were hanging down limply, hanging in the air like a rag doll.

"Ah...Ji?"

Ying Baoyue stared blankly at the young man who had lost his breath, and she also forgot to breathe, as if the blood in her body had stopped flowing.

"Ok?"

The masked man pinching Li Ji's head looked around, seemingly also surprised.The next moment, just as he was about to let go of his palm, a dazzling blue light suddenly shot out from between his fingers.

The man's palm disappeared instantly as if it had been burned.

Ashes.

I don't know if it was Ying Baoyue's illusion, but she seemed to hear a scream in the realm of spiritual consciousness.

With a "bang", the boy's body fell heavily to the ground, his eyes were covered with black mud.

"A Ji!"

Ying Baoyue was about to rush up to check his situation, when a dazzling blue light suddenly shot out from the front, and her eyes were so white that she couldn't see anything for an instant.

In her blurred vision, she saw something moving in front of her.

The boy who had lost his breath got up from the ground by himself.

Little Li Ji is shining.

He is like a blue sun, standing in the depths of the light.

The dazzling blue light became brighter and brighter, and the area covered by it became wider and wider.

The masked man who was standing behind him was submerged by the blue light. With a click, the mask on the man's face split from it. Ying Baoyue desperately opened his eyes wide to see his face clearly, but the surrounding light was too bright.

In the dazzling blue light, she could barely see a pair of strange eyes.

Those were a pair of indifferent eyes.

Before she could see clearly, the man tapped his toes and quickly disappeared.

The masked man disappeared, but the light on Xiao Li Ji's body did not disappear.

"Why... kill Sister Zhao?"

"Bad man!"

"You are all bad people!"

The boy's choked voice rang in his ears, and Ying Baoyue's mind was in chaos.

"No, I'm..."

Before she could finish speaking, a more glaring blue light appeared, Ying Baoyue ignored the needle-like pain in her eyes, desperately opened her eyes wide and stretched out her hands to grope forward.

But she found nothing.

The young man turned around and ran away, the blue light shone brightly, covering the entire forest, and the sound of fierce swordsmen came from behind her.

At this time, the blue light also penetrated Ying Baoyue's body, and there was a sharp pain in her body.
With a plop, Ying Baoyue fell to the ground suddenly and lost consciousness.
