Chapter 140: Going Home.

The vine hedges in the maze grew very fast, completely blocking the sky that didn't have much light, leaving only a small place for her to stand.

Mu Yu retreated to Teng Man behind him, raised his wand and immediately put it down.

This is a huge formation, and now every living gate is about to be blocked. In fact, if she hadn't reacted quickly and accidentally barged in before the formation was officially formed, she would have been trapped and died.

She didn't realize that her first reaction was to touch the locket around her neck.

Several fireballs glowing with black flames exploded around the vine. As soon as they landed on the vine, they turned into several ferocious giant snakes and bit into the maze that was closed on all sides.

The fierce fire and curse failed to stop the vines from growing, and they creaked and made ominous sounds.

In the rustling ground, while the flames and the vines were still fighting, it seemed like something was stepping on the dead branches and leaves, with heavy footsteps. The moment the sound first sounded, the branches and leaves on the nearest vine turned into daggers and stabbed towards the source.

There was a clanking sound, as if the dagger had hit the armor, and there was no sound after a while.

The moment the impact sound disappeared, a piercing cold light swept towards Mu Yu with the force of thunder, splitting his neck. She quickly lowered her head to dodge, and the sword light whizzed past her head.

After such a slight dodge, she had no way to go and ran straight into the vines.

A tall stone statue came slowly with a sword in hand. It almost completely imitated the body shape of a human being, and there was no slowness in its movements. The ruby ​​on the hilt made the dull stone shine brightly.

This sword looks familiar.

Before she could recall where she had seen this sword, the light of the sword struck again. Without thinking, she pointed at the ground. The dark soil rose from the ground and turned into a big bird to meet it.

After a scream, the bird that had just transformed was cut in half by the sword energy coming from the sky. As soon as it disappeared, the black flames that were scattered everywhere trying to find an opportunity to break the formation suddenly gathered together, transforming into a thin sword and overwhelming the sky. The swords and lights intertwined and fought.

This stone statue seemed to have its own mind, and every move was extremely meticulous. Even if it was surrounded by several sharp swords, it could still handle it with ease. The sword energy that overflowed from it almost cut Mu Yu several times.

As if the situation wasn't bad enough, as soon as the black flames were contained, the hedge wall burst into flames. Within a few breaths, the fire was out of control, and the vines that were still creaking and blocking the way suddenly turned into the sky in the blink of an eye. A wall of fire intertwined into a fire net above the head.

Not an ordinary fire.

The locket, which had always been peaceful since she put it on, suddenly became hot and vibrated erratically around her neck.

Mu Yu kept caressing the locket with one hand, and waved the wand with the other hand to direct the rapier to change to resist the deadly cold light. Although she seemed to be cornered, she looked like she was taking a walk in her back garden.

She stared intently at the sword in the stone statue's hand, or in other words, she was always staring in the direction the stone statue was coming from.

Now there is only one place where there is no fire, and the surrounding fire wall is still shrinking, and the space for turning is getting smaller and smaller. Sparks from the flames almost splashed on his clothes. Her figure was also crumbling in the flames that reached the sky.

"I was lucky enough to see the power of this sword in the second grade. I admire you very much. You didn't even leave a way out for yourself in order to kill me." She raised her hand and created a screen of light that could barely block the fierce fire coming from behind. A sharp sword took advantage of the momentum and broke through the numerous barriers and chopped off the head of the stone statue. The sword turned into powder as soon as the stone statue blocked it.

Two rays of sword light, one white and one black, were entangled with each other. It was no longer like the initial posture of attacking each other and no one could do anything about the other. Instead, it turned into two ropes tightly entangled.

The locket on his chest was still hot, and Mu Yu kept tracing the letters on it with his fingers, whether it was because of habit or comfort.

"I've heard that Dean Kunlun is extremely skilled in swordsmanship. I'd like to learn how to use the formation to learn from him."

She forcibly suppressed her surging energy and blood, and calmly turned her staff into a talisman. The black rope instantly turned into a sharp blade and attacked. To break the continuous sword intent.

The white light on the other side also turned into a shield, returning all the rapiers. At the same time, the fierce fire behind her tore up the light curtain. At the last moment when the ferocious flames were about to engulf her, she jumped up, and the flying sword turned into a long whip and hooked the sword in the stone statue's hand, and then drew The fierce fire that followed spread directly towards the stone statue.

The stone statue was accidentally trapped by Li Huo, and suddenly the sword was in her hand. As soon as she took it, she cut off the left arm of the stone statue with one sword, and took advantage of the extra gap to quickly move towards the back of the stone statue without Li Huo. fly by.

Behind her was Li Huo, who was chasing after her like a maggot attached to a bone. However, within a moment, the severed arm of the stone statue grew back, and Li Huo leapt to catch up with her.

There was still endless darkness in front of her, and the sword in her hand actually disappeared in her hands after a while. She couldn't stop, and she didn't dare to stop.

There was a sharp pain in her back, and she didn't know what kind of spell it was. The pain soon spread, and she paused for a moment. After that, the fierce fire rushed to lick her. momentum.

She endured it and sped up, and she could feel her back beginning to get wet at such a speed. The wetness and pain mixed together, and everything around him seemed to start to shake.

I don’t know how long it took, but the circle of flames became smaller and smaller. The stone statue was also getting closer and closer to her with steady steps. At first, it was still chasing her, but now it seemed that it knew that she had nowhere to escape, and the pace of the chase also slowed down.

There are flames that destroy the world in all directions, and the scorching heat seems to melt those who are in it.

Mu Yu had to stop. She had almost no way to go. She was surrounded by fierce fire that could not be extinguished or stopped. Behind her was a stone statue that was infinitely close to immortality.

There was only one road in front of him that was completely isolated from the flames. No matter how ferocious the flames were, they would not be able to spread onto this cold road. When she stepped onto the edge of the road, the stone statue seemed to be afraid and stopped.

But if you look closely, you can see that the cold lights are basically sharp knives. The sky above this road is also filled with ominous red smoke, and dazzling lightning flashes from time to time.

This is the "life gate" that she has not yet had time to completely close because she forced her way into the formation.

A stream of black smoke suddenly burst out of the locket and was about to go towards Li Huo. Mu Yu quickly blocked it back into the locket with quick eyes and hands. Just such a movement caused a cramping pain in the wound centered on his back.

She swallowed the blood that welled up in her throat and looked at the locket. The delicate locket is slowly blooming with the most magnificent splendor against the flames. The letter seemed to burn along with it, exploding into pieces of fireworks in her eyes.

The wounds and exhaustion numbed her ability to think, and she was easily dazzled by the magnificence of the box, almost regardless of the season, indulging in the gorgeous beauty.

The flames continued to approach, like countless brilliant sunsets before the dark night, bewitching, pushing and pulling her towards the dark end.

The spell she had just cast was weakening all her perceptions to the greatest extent.

The bright colors of the locket were still burning in my eyes.

She suddenly laughed, laughing extremely wildly, wondering if she was laughing at the person who had worked so hard to set up the formation. She pulled the locket and placed a gentle kiss on it. There are times when she never hides her smile and genuine joy.

"Madman, you really are a madman."

She gently placed the locket against her face, feeling the same icy-cold temperature. At the same time, she frantically and desperately stacked all the protective spells she knew on her body, and jumped into the flames at the last moment when the flames were about to engulf the place where she stood. Daolin.

"I don't allow it."

She always spoke softly, rarely making people feel uncomfortable giving orders. But this time it was with absolute command and unquestionable momentum.

"She's about to escape." Several principals and even most of the teachers who had been closely watching what was going on outside the maze turned pale and almost had to rely on the support of students to stand still.

When Ning Yue let out his first sigh, Beauxbatons' principal, Ms. Maxim, almost lost all restraint and screamed: "We have paid so much, but we can't keep a girl. What is she..."

A freak.

The word could not be uttered, and she understood that it was meaningless to say it at this time.

"Xiaoyu is too sensitive to energy," Ning Yue had to admit this, but her mouth was bitter when she said it, "Her talent... is beyond My imagination."

"But our efforts are still worth it." He quickly cheered up and looked up at the sky. There was a hint of gold in the gray sky. If you look down from a high altitude, the entire castle is slowly covered by the same layer of golden light. The spreading golden light does not miss any possible entrance or exit until the entire castle is covered with a golden coat.

If you look carefully, the golden light is centered in the middle of the castle, quietly extending out bridges, stretching in several unknown directions.

At this moment, every professor looked up at the gradually condensing light curtain from the same angle, feeling pleased and proud.

"This is the coolest magic I've ever cast in my life," said Katherine Jones, who seemed completely intoxicated by it. "It's a pity that the war is about to begin."

They used most of their magic power as chips to gamble and spent almost everything before the war came. The earth has created an indestructible fortress and built a home for millions of people who are still willing to fight.

But it would be difficult for them to predict the future direction.

"Hogwarts will always remain the same," Professor McGonagall said as she dragged the unconscious Karkaroff aside and faced everyone's gaze. Everyone also knows that this is also Dumbledore's will. "Even if the worst happens, this will be the only pure land and eternal battlefield."

"Unless..." Ning Yue took one last look at the sky, and the dark clouds in the sky had not dissipated. . No one heard his final whisper, or those who heard it chose not to hear it.

"Unless the way of heaven is wiped out."

Mu Yu pulled out the knife that had penetrated his calf with force, and blood started to flow in an instant. But she almost lost her feeling.

The violent lightning tore away the protective spells that overlapped the body, but fortunately the light source at the exit was already looming. She relied entirely on instinct and moved inch by inch toward the exit, numbly throwing healing spells at her body.

The effect of the spell became weaker and weaker each time, and she could almost no longer feel the warmth of the blood.

Only the burning heat of the locket on her chest repeatedly reminded her of the unfinished chess game, and this place should not be her burial place.

She gripped the locket tightly, straining her neck until it hurt, and stumbled, almost crawling, toward the glimmer of light coming from the exit amidst the sharp edges on the ground.

The tip of the knife seemed to cut apart her body and soul, and the twisted and moving body was extinguished in her consciousness like a flickering candle.

She was so strong that the locket seemed to be torn off.

The green grass was soaked in red blood.

The golden curtain on the top cast a little golden light on her shoulders and slid to the ground. She raised it gently with her wand and saw it for the first time. No matter how calm she was, she was now panicking.

It is only a short distance from the school exit.

She pushed herself up and ran towards the exit regardless of the tearing of the wound. Several times she fell to the grass because of the burst wound, her vision blurred, and she could only see a shining golden net falling from the sky in the distance, slowly sealing the exit.

Not even close.

Her nails dug into the soil, she bit the tip of her tongue, and jumped out of the school at the last moment when the golden net fell.

She lay on her back on the path to Hogsmeade, surrounded by dirt and blood. The screams in my ears made my head hurt.

"You dare to disobey me, Bellatrix," there was no emotion or anger in his voice, but Mu Yu could tell the violence in it, "Who taught you to stop your master?"

Bellatrix Ricks was still pleading, but it was not because of his own pain: "They... used thousands of curses to end it, but it was different..." She grabbed his robe, and she was very clearly aware of the strange situation in the castle. She knew it all clearly, but she still tried to stop him with the weakest strength, "You can't cast a spell on the castle, please... you will be backlashed..."

She was kicked away. Tom Riddle raised his wand again towards the castle that was completely covered in golden light. Even he himself couldn't tell where the source of the rage came from.

Perhaps the fusion of the Horcrux enhanced the soul's perception. As soon as the Horcrux appeared abnormal, he dropped everything and rushed to school. What caught the eye was the golden light in the sky, which was about to put the last layer of armor on the castle.

She's still in there.

That cunning girl, the only person qualified to end it in an honest duel with him, is still inside.

No matter how much he persuaded himself, how many times he warned him that he was here for the Horcruxes and his own soul, this was still the first thought that popped up, too conspicuous to ignore.

Then came fear - an emotion he was all too familiar with. Ever since he was defeated by that boy, fear had followed him day and night in Albania.

But the fear at this moment seemed so abominable to him, letting something called weakness spread throughout his body, making the corners of his eyes wet and dry, forcing him to give up his hypnosis again and again.

He had to use rage to solve everything, which was the most effective. Violence could always soothe unwanted thoughts just right, driving him to focus all his energy on the protected castle in front of him.

He was violent, crazy and even yelling, urging him to destroy this fortress as soon as possible and at all costs.

He didn't expect that Bellatrix, who always followed behind him and never disobeyed any orders, and was as loyal as a dog, would have the courage to stop in front of his wand.

"Madman," Mu Yu stood up again. She looked like she had crawled out of a pool of blood. However, she never showed weakness in front of him, let alone showed herself in a humble manner. "I am still alive. I said, They can't kill me."

The spell was extremely powerful, and she could no longer suppress it, and she spit out a mouthful of blood.

But she didn't care about that at all.

She indulged herself in admiring the changing colors in her eyes, letting herself no longer analyze the turbulent emotions in them. She only focused on getting closer to that figure. For her, that was the safest and most reliable place to live.

"We go home."
