C18 (2/2)

I tilted my head to look and saw that it was Grandpa Chen. He no longer had his usual aged look, but had a straight back and dagger-like eyes. He was steadily holding that walking stick.

Although I was a little surprised, I didn't dare to hesitate after being saved. I didn't know where I got the strength from and hurriedly retreated to the side with my hands and feet.

At the same time, the infant with the long tongue felt as if it had been struck by an electric shock. His entire body twitched, and the excitement in his eyes instantly turned into resentment as he screamed and rushed towards Grandpa Chen.

”Yin, go away. If you slow down any longer, this good sapling is finished.” Grandpa Chen unexpectedly showed a little fear on his face as he yelled at Yi Yun.

”Bu Yang, don't worry.” Yi Yun took out something from his chest as soon as he finished his sentence. When I took a closer look, it was actually a few thin and long embroidery needles.

Yi Yun had also changed from his usual self. His face was filled with excitement and his eyes were full of fighting spirit. He looked at the back of the baby that was charging towards Grandpa Chen with a burning gaze, and quickly threw it several times.

The sound of wind breaking could be heard as the silver needles that were hard to see with the naked eye turned into streaks of silver lightning as they headed straight for the baby's back.

At this moment, the infant had clearly placed all of his attention on resisting Grandpa Chen. He never expected that Yi Yun would suddenly attack and was caught off guard by the silver needle.

What surprised me the most was that although this silver needle was small, it was extremely powerful.

The moment the silver needle hit the baby, black fog rose from its body. Its solid body slowly floated in the air like if it was blown away by the wind.

At the same time, the baby that was hit by the silver needle let out waves of ear-piercing howls. His figure flew up and down in the air, tottering about as if he was on the verge of collapse.

As for Yi Yun, who had regained his composure upon seeing that the attack was about to hit, his hands naturally hung down as if he was relaxed.

It was only at this moment that I felt that I had returned to my body. I heaved a sigh of relief as I felt a large patch of moisture on my back. A gust of cold wind assaulted me, causing me to unconsciously shake a few times before I felt better.

Yi Yun turned his head to look at me with a calm expression before glaring at the toddler. Although his expression was relaxed, it was obvious that he hadn't completely relaxed yet. He bent his left hand over, ready to take out something else at any time.

However, in my opinion, the baby is already on the verge of death, so there is no chance of any more splashes. Its small body slowly turned transparent, its body became smaller and smaller, and in a blink of an eye, it was only palm-sized. Looking at it, it was actually a cute little doll with its mouth wide open, crying.

Looking at this scene, I couldn't help but feel sympathy for him. I felt that this child was too pitiful. No matter what mistakes the adults had, the child was still not wrong.

I turned my head to look at the unconscious Lan Xiang. I was silent for a moment before I slowly walked to Yi Yun's side. Yi Yun was completely focused on the infant, not paying attention to my movements at all.

Yi Yun heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the baby was like a dying flower. He let out a long sigh and put down his hand. His raised knuckles slowly straightened. It seemed like the baby was definitely going to die.

Grandpa Chen also put down the crutch on his chest, returning to his old self. His face was a little pale, and he let out a long sigh. He glanced at Lan Xiang with a complicated look in his eyes, then turned around and was about to leave the mourning hall.

However, it was also at this moment that the child that was only the size of a fingertip suddenly let out a strange cry. Without any hesitation, it charged straight towards me.

If it was before, then perhaps this baby would have already been suppressed by the two people by my side before he could even do this. However, now that everyone thinks that it has no way to reverse the situation, it is also the time when all of us are the most relaxed.

I saw that baby's flowing light rush towards my forehead like a moth pouncing on a flame. Before I could even make a move, I felt my body turn cold. My head went blank. Just as I was about to dodge, I was struck.

A wave of pain went deep into my soul. It was as though someone had nailed me down. I wailed in grief and immediately fell to the ground, clutching my head, no longer having any strength to resist.
