[成歷|西玉]棋手 英文版 006
? ? “Go away!”
? ? Two Hsi Wu fought against each other, whose wings aroused wild wind, whose claws left scratches on the wall. Neither of the two showed any mercy because the opposite was the other half of him. The clash of iron striking gold echoed in the treasury.
? ? Hsi Wu did not care about dodging the evil one’s attack at all. Bloody lines appeared on his skin soon. That was the price he paid to force the evil one farther and farther away from Jade.
? ? “Hsi Wu!” shouted Jade anxiously.
? ? Maybe because Hsi Wu was a demon, the good half of him could not match the evil one at all.
? ? Hsi Wu needs help!
? ? Jade picked up the Horse Talisman, aroused its magic, and the sprain on her leg recovered at once. She plunged forth and snatched the Dragon Talisman, wanting to help, but the two Hsi Wu tangled together, barely distinguishable. Using the blast of the Dragon talisman now would harm the good half of him.
? ? “Scat!” The evil one kicked on the belly of the good, striking him flying and bumping into the hard treasury wall, of which a big hole was knocked out. Steel and concrete fell and buried Hsi Wu under it.
? ? Jade took this opportunity to aim at the evil Hsi Wu; the Dragon Talisman flashed dazzling red light.
? ? “Rumble!”
? ? Stones sprayed and dust filled the air. The evil Hsi Wu was stricken onto the ceil by the power of the blast and then dropped to the ground. Strands of black smoke came from him and a large patch on his wings was scorched. Compared to Po Kong, Hsi Wu’s defense was too weak.
? ? “Aiiee-yaahh! Hsi Wu escaped! Tohru, Be quick to help Jade!”
? ? Uncle and Tohru heard of Hsi Wu’s escape from others and hurried in a rush to the cell that formerly locked up him, but at that time he had gotten rid of Section 13’s policemen. They traced Hsi Wu along the way and had just come to the spot.
? ? “Yes, Sensei.” Not heeding the wounded Sky Demon, Tohru ran into the nearly collapsed treasury and sheltered Jade under his body. “Jade, are you all right?”
? ? “Tohru, I am fine, catch him!”
? ? Hsi Wu still lay prone on the ground, unable to come back to himself for a while. Uncle had begun to recite the spell, “Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao, Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao[1].”
? ? With Uncle’s spell, the Puffer Fish in his hand gradually glistened green light, aimed at Hsi Wu.
? ? “Tohru, toot the flute!”
? ? Although Hsi Wu’s portal of the Netherworld had been closed so it could not be used to shut him in, there were other spells available and the flute was still an indispensable token.
? ? If Uncle’s spell works, will the two Hsi Wu both be shut into the Netherworld?
? ? Jade was about to stop Tohru from tooting the flute when the entire Section 13 drowned into darkness, only leaving the Puffer Fish in Uncle’s hand and the flute in Tohru’s hand glowing green.
? ? “Aiiee-yaahh!” Uncle shoot magic at where Hsi Wu had lain in the dark by his memory, but pitifully did not hit him.
? ? Only to hear a roar of the evil Hsi Wu, “Goddamn old folk.” And then the breath vanished, the darkness receded, Section 13 returned to normal, and the evil Hsi Wu had been out of sight.
? ? Tohru was confused and asked in doubt: “Sensei, how did this happen?”
? ? Uncle sighed and was low in mood, “This is the power of the Sky Demon. He can control the weather and change the day and the night.”
? ? They were all not careful enough, thought the Sky Demon had been locked up, and did not presume that he revived so quickly, who escaped the cell and escaped from their hands.
? ? In fact, Uncle did not make a wrong presumption at first. If Hsi Wu hadn’t used Jade’s body to break the spell left by him, he could not leave the cell even if he recovered for another few days. His strength did not recover much. He could only control the day and the night for an instant to catch Uncle on the hop, and to make himself flee just in time. If Uncle had made preparation, Hsi Wu was unable to take flight now.
? ? “Clatter!” The pile of stones at the corner of the treasury stirred, from under which out crawled the wounded Hsi Wu. He looked weak and even the wings drooped, not much better than when Jade met him several days before.
? ? “Jade, are you all right?”
? ? “Aiiee-yaahh! One more Hsi Wu! Tohru!”
? ? “Uncle, wait a minute!”
