Every feather has one. After the thousands of feathers on Akabane's body burned out, thousands of eyeballs were left behind.
Golden eyeballs...
Xu Le, who was suspended in mid-air, and Chi Xiao, who was standing in front of Chi Yu, both felt something was wrong.
These eyeballs are all shaking.
Chaotic, disordered, without a clear goal, but I would glance at them from time to time...
Every glance seemed to be a death stare.
This level of density is no longer normal legendary power.
At the moment, Akabane's condition is not something that a normal legendary master can use.
This is the power of God.
"Chi Xiao, come to me."
Chi Xiao had no time to respond verbally and could only wrap his back with a large amount of metal for defense.
Then it directly transformed itself into an element, became part of the metal, and drilled towards Xu Le.
Xu Le had already opened the Dark Portal, waiting for Chi Xiao's arrival.
There was no way. The attack in front of them was no longer something they could handle.
Although this pure energy attack also has certain rules, the fading fire can only eliminate the effects of those rules and cannot reduce the energy impact.
He stepped forward and gave Chi Xiao a death stare. There was no chance of survival for either him or Chi Xiao.
Just run.
"quick!"
“Here I come.”
Buzz!
Xu Le grabbed Chi Xiao's arm and threw her into the Dark Gate.
Before he entered the Dark Portal, the attack of Death Gaze had already arrived.
Tear!
Xu Le felt that his body was torn apart at the waist, and it felt like he was being pulled and torn apart by two huge trucks.
There is no room for resistance...
However, the effect of the life-replacing technique quickly restored his body.
Xu Lexin turned over and jumped into the dark door, then closed the black door with ease and escaped from there.
A fierce battle...
At least that's what Xu Le himself thinks.
…
On the Soul-Eating Tree, Chi Xiao was lying on the small wooden bed that Xu Le had made for her, taking off her armor.
Clear lacerations appeared all over the body, and all of them were fine and small.
It was obvious that the previous death gaze also affected Chi Xiao.
But Chi Xiao was not seriously injured.
There are two reasons. One is that her strength level and life essence itself surpass Xu Le.
The defense against attacks like Death Gaze is stronger.
The second point is that Chi Xiao’s Great Flame Realm now also has the rudiments of her rules.
The flame aura of the Great Flame Realm can offset some of the effects of the Death Gaze.
Therefore, Chi Xiao did not suffer fatal damage due to the not-so-long-lasting death gaze.
But there is still a risk of death if exposed to the gaze for too long.
The effect of thousands of death gazes gathered together is no longer something that the legendary level can handle.
While Chi Xiao was wiping the blood and wounds, Xu Le had already slowly arrived.
When Xu Le saw Chi Xiao on the bed, he was stunned for a moment, then he acted as if nothing had happened.
"You don't even bother pretending now?" Chi Xiao stared at Xu Le with a somewhat unfriendly look.
How can I describe Xu Le before... Although many things have never been spoken out, at least they would pretend.
Now he doesn't even try to pretend, which makes Chi Xiao a little unacceptable.
Meow! ~
Ding Ke, who had been left on the Soul-Eating Tree by Xu Le, also climbed onto Chi Xiao's bed and meowed at Xu Le.
Signaled Xu Le to get out immediately.
However, Xu Le just raised his hand slightly, thought about it, and still didn't explain.
I turned my head silently and recalled the shape just now.
Um…
Like Chi Xiao, she was injured, and Xu Le was actually injured as well.
He unbuttoned his coat and saw an obvious horizontal scar on his back.
The wound almost tore through the skin and flesh, and the lumbar vertebrae were clearly visible.
Injuries of this degree could even leave hidden dangers.
When Chi Xiao saw the wound on Xu Le’s back, he immediately realized that this might be the attack he suffered when Xu Le asked him to go first and he stayed behind to cover their retreat.
My attitude just now changed instantly, and I even felt a little guilty.
"Xu Le? Are you okay?"
"What you're talking about is actually not that bad." Xu Le pointed to the wound on his back and shook his head slightly.
Looking at his relaxed look, the words "don't care" are almost written on his face.
Chi Xiao frowned. Although Xu Le looked relaxed, such a deep wound might have damaged his nerves.
It is difficult for him to deal with this lumbar position by himself.
"Come here, I'll help you deal with it."
"Uh, okay."
Seeing that Chi Xiao wanted to help him treat his wounds, Xu Le had no intention of refusing.
We are all children of the underworld. Once you are in the underworld, you have no choice...
While Chi Xiao was treating his wounds, Xu Le's thoughts had already drifted away. Because he did not look back, he even entered a state of emptiness.
Then think about whether Chi Xiao is wearing armor now...
"I don't think we have time to treat the wound or have a conversation."
Xu Le rubbed his chin, and suddenly heard Chi Xiao behind him speak:
"Didn't your life-replacing technique work just now? You were badly injured."
"It worked, but it was pierced. As you know, the life-replacing technique has a limit to the damage it can withstand." Xu Le said truthfully.
Chi Xiao behind him nodded.
"Did we just... lose?"
Win or lose
Xu Le recalled the battle between him and Akabane.
Chiyu's real body is evenly matched with Chixiao, while the Eye of Death is always entangled with him.
He shattered the Eye of Death, creating an opportunity for Chi Xiao, and then Chi Xiao struck the fatal blow and defeated Chi Yu.
But later on, Akabane's Thousand Eyes form felt a little off.
Xu Le could clearly feel that it was not the power of a level 7 legend, it was definitely the power of a god.
so…
"Theoretically speaking, I cracked the Eye of Death, and you found an opportunity to defeat Akabane's Feather head-on, so we should be considered the winner."
Xu Le's theory made Chi Xiao laugh.
"Does your argument count as comforting? We didn't even have the possibility of resisting the last attack of the Thousand Eyes.
The gap has reached a point where it is unmanageable. If you didn't have a way to escape, I would probably have died there.
In this case, how can it be considered a win? It’s a loss.”
As Chi Xiao spoke, his tone became a little depressed.
Yes, before, I was thinking that I could break through myself and achieve level 8 through a head-on confrontation with Akabane.
But as the battle progressed, she found that many times things were not as smooth as she had imagined.
She had no way to defeat Akabane quickly, and ultimately had to rely on Xu Le's interference, and the two of them working together to find an opportunity.
How can we win this kind of battle
"You can't say that... Hey, I'm also going to judge the winner based on the results, don't you want to listen?"
Unlike Chi Xiao, who is a stubborn person, Xu Le is an optimistic person.
So when I see my companions are unhappy, I will try to make them happy.
Just like Chi Xiao now, Xu Le felt that he should give her some proper guidance.
So as not to ruin your faith.
Xu Le was still hoping that Chi Xiao would be promoted to level 8 as soon as possible, so that he could continue to cling to his superiors...
Chi Xiao was silent for a moment. She guessed that Xu Le might want to comfort her.
Her original thought was that if she lost, she lost, it was no big deal.
She had lost to Jidu before, and everything she said after the loss was just an excuse. She should seize the time to practice, which was more important than anything else.
In the past, comfort would be just nonsense.
Is it necessary to listen to nonsense? Of course not.
But now Chi Xiao just wanted to listen to Xu Le's nonsense... to see what he could come up with.
Well, I just wanted to listen, there is no other meaning.
"Then tell me."
"From the results point of view, we can almost say that we have won..."
"… "
The two fell into silence until Ding Ke made a somewhat stiff cat's meow.
"Meow?"
With Ding Ke's meow, the silence between the two was broken again.
Xu Le quickly explained:
"Do you think I'm being awkward?"
"yes."
"That's not really the case, because according to the results, we were a complete winner."
"What do you mean?"
"First of all, we cracked the opponent's moves, and although we were injured, it was not serious. Akabane's damage was several times, even a hundred times, ours...
Finally, and most importantly, we live and he dies.”
Hearing Xu Le say this, Chi Xiao, who had originally been indifferent, now frowned slightly.
"The Akabane you mentioned... is he really dead?"
The two men ended up escaping after fighting with Akabane, so they didn't see Akabane's final outcome.
Chi Xiao's question made Xu Le think for a while before answering:
"I think... he is really dead."
"Why do you think so?"
“Death Gaze is a very powerful ability that can directly hurt me and force me to use my trump card moves.
Generally speaking, abilities of this level should be considered legendary, right?"
"Well, then what?"
“Death Gaze corresponds to Death Eye. I killed a Death Eye, which caused great damage to the fish eater.
This damage also exposed his weakness and allowed him to be defeated by you.
Think about it, breaking a Death Eye would cause such severe damage, doesn't that mean that the Death Eye itself is an important organ?"
"Yes."
“Important organs actually carry a heavy burden.
Akabane has the aura of a god and may be the source of the divine evil. He possesses some of the divine power of the full moon, but he is definitely not a god himself.
A level 7 legendary creature cannot possibly afford hundreds or thousands of Eyes of Death.
His final Thousand Eyes form was definitely not a form that could be endured under normal circumstances.
This has exceeded the biological limit.
Logically, our last attack killed him, so I think..."
Xu Le kept it a secret at this time, but Chi Xiao was already fascinated by what he was saying, and immediately urged:
"What do you think? Tell me."
“Well, I think Akabane’s final form is actually a descent of the full moon’s divine power.
That is the power of the gods. Akabane's chaotic state and broken body make it impossible for him to withstand the arrival of the full moon.
So I think he must be dead.
So, if he dies, we win, of course."
Xu Le's analysis is well-reasoned and convincing.
At least Chi Xiao is convinced, and that is enough.
"Okay, I'm convinced by you."
"Hahaha, I feel like I won. Do you feel much better?"
"really."
Chi Xiao also laughed, and he was indeed in a good mood.
For someone like her, jokes and gossip can hardly cause her to have any mood swings.
Only victory in battle can make her feel happy.
I was naturally unhappy because I lost just now, but now that Xu Le said I won, my mood will certainly become better.
"Okay, the wound has been stitched up."
Chi Xiao patted Xu Le on the back, indicating that his wound had been sutured.
I have to say that although Chi Xiao gives people a rough feeling most of the time, she is actually quite delicate. After all, she is a woman.
She sutured the wound on Xu Le's back very well. The mild fire therapy was very comfortable and did not make Xu Le feel any pain.
After stitching up the wound, he immediately stood up and turned around to thank:
"Thank you very much."
Xu Le had a serious look on his face, but his eyes were already collecting information quickly.
Good! ~
Bang! ~
…
In the world of the Soul-Eating Tree, the two rested for a long time.
They healed their injuries and then had a chat.
When both of them were in a more relaxed state, Chi Xiao prepared to talk to Xu Le about the problems that had been hidden in his mind.
Cangming agreed with them to meet in three days.
For all of them, the God's Seduction Plan three days later is a crucial moment.
Truly participate in the war between Gu Yinduo and Hongyue.
The key to whether the Son of Gu Yinduo can be fundamentally weakened and the balance of power between the two sides lies here.
Whether it is for her, Xu Le, or teacher Cang Ming, three days later is the most important moment.
Not to be missed.
So before that, many things should be discussed and made clear.
Otherwise, there would be no way to cooperate on many things, let alone hunting gods together.
"Xu Le, do you have any opinion about my teacher Cang Ming?"
Xu Le glanced at Chi Xiao, who had already changed into plain red clothes.
Well, it's okay.
"… "
"Xu Le? Xu Le? Are you listening to me?"
"Uh? What?"
"I asked you what you think of Teacher Cangming."
"Ah, the old man is pretty good." Xu Le's answer seemed a bit perfunctory, and Chi Xiao could clearly feel this perfunctory attitude.
"Can you tell the truth? Or tell me something that is practical to you."
"That's your teacher..." Xu Le waved his hands.
He still hasn't figured out the relationship between Chi Xiao and Cang Ming.
It would be bad if you gave some inappropriate answers without fully understanding the situation.
Even though he and Chi Xiao are now very good friends and companions, it is better not to touch certain reverse scales, otherwise they will no longer be able to be friends.
Seeing that Xu Le was unwilling to respond directly to his question, Chi Xiao knew what was going on.
She knew that with Xu Le's vigilance, it was impossible for him to tell the truth unless she revealed some information.
At least he doesn't say anything valuable.
"The teacher is not as nice as he appears to be."
