Swish!
The light arrow vanished.
Its speed was too quick; it was unbelievable!
No one would think that the boundary spirit in Su Hao's hands would transform and instantly lock onto Xiao An, bursting out a powerful force.
"Not good."
Xiao An quickly backed away.
A dazzling white light crossed that it literally travelled through time and space. Noticing that she could not evade in time, under everyone's eyes in disbelief, she actually moved toward the arrow instead.
Poof~
An arrow passed through.
Everyone's eyes widened.
They had seen quite a number of people who evaded the arrow, but never had they seen one who forcibly charged toward it! When the white arrow shot past, everyone took a mouthful of cold breath.
Xiao An's left chest got hit by the arrow.
The arrow which was supposedly heading toward the heart, thanks to her taking initiative to step forward, the arrow missed her vital spot by a small margin. It was that small margin that allowed her to keep her life barely intact for now.
Bloodstains could be seen coming out from the wound.
Xiao An was so calm that she terrified one. Looking at Su Hao, she actually gave a sweet smile and said in her crisp voice, "See, senior. You failed to kill me."
"You..."
Su Hao didn't know what to say.
This, is this really a little girl?
Ruthless!
Too ruthless!
Not only was she cruel to others but also herself. At this age, it should be the period when one happily plays around, enjoying her childhood life, but her life became this cold instead. Nine Snakes, how many devils had it birthed?
"Then, I will just try it again."
Su Hao regained his composure.
On the bowstring, a new white arrow appeared.
Xiao An shook her head gently, "I won't get hit by the same trick twice."
Swish!
The white arrow shot out.
Snap!
Wolf King's body blocked its path halfway as he intercepted the white arrow with ease. The white arrow, which was enough to kill Xiao An, couldn't even break through Wolf King's defense.
This was terrifying!
"How long can you stay alive anyway?"
Su Hao watched Xiao An's upper body gradually dyed with bloodstains, "You have a gift from heaven, but can you heal? At the rate you are bleeding..."
"I'm afraid you will die soon!"
"It doesn't matter."
Xiao An's face revealed a smile, "You all will accompany Xiao An to go down together."
"You mad girl!"
Everyone had sweats dripping from their forehead.
"Fight!"
Xiao An pointed at Su Hao and the others and weakly commanded the undead to charge toward them. A one-sided battle then began. To look at it from the surface, if Wolf King didn't stop Su Hao's attack, the undead would have long died.
"We can't let this continue." Liu Ping said decisively, "If we keep going like this, we would be tired to death!"
"Will the same tragedy repeat itself?"
Everyone looked devastated. ,
"Unfortunately, if Wu Ming is here..."
Liu Ping gritted his teeth. Wu Ming and Chen Xi managed to overcome the Elegy of Undead. If he was here, he might think of a solution to suppress the Elegy of Undead.
Too bad, Wu Ming was dead.
"What can we do now?"
Everyone was clueless.
"Ah~"
A giant wolf charged over them. A world esper, who had depleted his Rule Force, got his throat crushed and died. Hot blood splashed all over the place.
The battle was getting more and more difficult.
"Get lost!"
Liu Ping shouted loudly. As his World Force escalated, the strength belonging to a level three world esper finally erupted. Layers of circular light protected everyone inside.
He could only do this.
Boom!
Boom!
Countless undead rammed against the light.
Even World Force was madly hitting the barrier, causing Liu Ping's World Force to decline rapidly. At this time, he had to bet everything or he would lose everyone.
"No, this won't last long." A world esper said with an ugly complexion.
"Then, what do we do?"
"Xiao An, it's her! As long as we create a chance for the senior to kill her, everything will end!"
"Impossible!"
"Didn't you see Wolf King, who only occasionally attacked? He is protecting Xiao An most of the time, and would not give us any chance to make a move."
Looking at the giant Wolf King, everyone turned cold.
They fought so hard to win the battle...
Who would have thought that they had to face the Wolf King again?
Are they going to die here?
Swish!
Swish!
A powerful white arrow flew out suddenly, heading toward Xiao An but was intercepted in mid-air.
"It failed again."
Su Hao was somewhat unwilling.
This was a battle between world espers. However, he was helpless! Right now, the realm wasn't the main factor, but the right talent was the path to victory. Liu Ping couldn't and Su Hao couldn't do it, but he knew that there was one man who could do it.
Zhao Feng!
This battle was enough to influence the Federation's peace.
If Zhao Feng was here...
One shot.
Bang.
Everything would end.
If Zhao Feng wished to kill someone, nobody could stop him unless the other party's strength was far beyond his. For example, Xiao An wasn't strong, but she still became terrifying. It couldn't be any easier target for Zhao Feng to deal with. Unfortunately, they were now in Huangliang Despairs, and it was impossible to contact Zhao Feng.
Boom!
As if he noticed that everyone could barely hold on, Wolf King stopped protecting Xiao An and suddenly attacked. His powerful pseudo-emperor strength slammed on the wall, causing the alliance of the crowd to collapse instantly. This was something that couldn't be stopped!
Wolf King is using every bit of his strength!
This was the thought that flashed in everyone's mind. At the same time, the only thought in Su Hao's mind was this; it's a good opportunity!
Since Wolf King attacked, Xiao An then...
Su Hao saw the lonely Xiao An.
Swish!
A white arrow shot out instantly.
Boom!
One then saw a giant wolf appear from behind Xiao An, blocking the arrow with his body and was killed. However, Xiao An still continued standing there.
Cold and prideful.
"Senior, I have already said. I will not fall for it twice."
Her crisp voice sounded so sweet, yet it annihilated everyone's only chance.
"It's over..."
"Ao~"
Wolf King unleashed his might, proceeding to wipe out everyone. His huge lantern-like eyes even stared at Su Hao as if there was a deep hatred toward Su Hao.
Swish!
With his palm slammed down.
The wind produced from his action made a loud noise.
The might of a pseudo-emperor was unstoppable!
However, unexpectedly, just as Wolf King's action was about to crush Su Hao, an ethereal song rang and instantly suppressed Elegy of Undead.
Crack!
All the undead turned stiff and struggled to move.
"This is..."
Su Hao's pupils contracted as he quickly looked behind, where a giant silver-white wolf appeared. Above the giant wolf, there was a petite figure in pajamas, Chen Xi!
"This silly girl."
Su Hao didn't hold back from saying this sentence, but silently added a few additional words in his heart.
She's here...
It was time to end it now.
"Who are you!"
Above the palace, Xiao An's face had already changed. That ethereal voice instantly suppressed the Elegy of Undead. Origin Ability Association happily took the opportunity to sweep through all the undead.
This was Chen Xi's charm.
In the end, Xiao An was still a domain esper.
Even with Wolf King's strength, even with the help of Elegy of Undead, as long as a power to restraint it appears, it would only result in an instant collapse.
Zhao Feng was possible, Chen Xi was no exception either.
"Me?" Yang Zixi's small face revealed an arrogant look. She lifted her chest high, "I am Chen Xi."
"Chen Xi, it turned out to be you."
Xiao An seemed to have recalled her. After all, Chen Xi's reputation was great.
"Humph."
Yang Zixi sneered. Proudly showing her flat chest, she continued, "Wearing a Gothic loli costume, you think you're an actual loli? Stop trying to be bait. Trying to induce Uncle Lolicon, this is simply an evil sin! Today, I will take on you as with my loli pride on the line."
1"Huh?"
Xiao An looked confused.
What's happening? What loli?
Su Hao wiped off his sweat.
"Humph."
Yang Zixi stood still.
Boom!
As the last undead was killed, everyone revealed their ecstatic look. They looked at Chen Xi with eyes full of gratitude and respect; they had been saved by her twice. Previously in Huangliang City, when everyone thought they were doomed, Chen Xi made her appearance! This time, it was the same too.
This small girl seemed to have become the angel of everyone's heart.
Of course, if they knew that the appearance of this little loli was solely for Su Hao alone, how would they feel...
"Your era is over." Yang Zixi pointed at Xiao An, "A Gothic loli has now become a thing of the past. Playing push and pull games with lolicons is the true way."
Su Hao was already numb at her act. However, this girl was smart. Although she already recognized him with a glance, she didn't reveal his identity.
This time, it was truly over.
"We won."
Everyone cheered.
"It's not over yet."
Looking at the cheering crowd, Su Hao instead walked toward Xiao An. This little girl, even after Elegy of Undead was rendered useless, still stood there alone as if the world had abandoned her.
No, not right.
Su Hao looked at her again. It was another feeling.
It wasn't that the world abandoned her, but she abandoned the world instead. Su Hao was shocked. What kind of sadness and suffering did she experience?
This little girl, all these years, what had she gone through?
He was suddenly curious.
"It's over, surrender." Su Hao looked at Xiao An.
Xiao An smiled sweetly. Her blood dyed and stained her body, and it made one hair rise, "I know. My task is completed after all."
"Surrender?"
"It shouldn't be, probably."
Xiao An crooked her head, "When I chose this path, there is already no escape route."
"However..."
Xiao An looked at the distance and seemed to be staring at the endless starry sky, "When I was young, he told me that when a person dies, one will turn into a star, and my mum is up above. When I grew up, I managed to master starlight but couldn't see her. I want to ask him why I don't even have the qualification to stand beside him."
"In his eyes, there are only humans and beasts."
"Only his own ambition..."
"Perhaps, I was never put in his eyes to begin with."
"At least, this time, I proved to myself that even if he's the leader of Nine Snakes, he still needs his daughter, me at times..."
Xiao An's voice was getting softer and softer. Covered in blood, she could no longer hold on and fell from the city wall.
When Su Hao grabbed her, she was already extremely weak.
"You think a person will become a star when they die?" Xiao An asked suddenly.
"Yes." Su Hao smiled, "After today, there will be the brightest star in the sky."
Xiao An's eyes lit up.
"Thanks..."
Xiao An's gaze was as if she experienced a final flashback before it became blurred again, "His task, I have completed it. Nine Snakes... Nine Snakes' real goal..."
