Faced with thousands of death gazes, even Chi Xiao, who had been promoted to level 8, had to retreat and dodge.
The energy of the sweep made no distinction between friend and foe, killing indiscriminately.
Boom boom boom.
The violent energy swept through everything around, and even one of the Soul-Eating Tree's main trunks was broken by this blow.
Xu Le didn't even have time to feel distressed before he realized that something was wrong in the atmosphere.
He is locked!
But... this is better.
Xu Le lowered his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
But he guessed what Akabane was thinking.
"Oh, are you going to use that again?"
Over and over again.
Since the opponent has succeeded twice, he will definitely use the previous ability again.
Chi Xiao's retreat gave Chi Yu a chance to catch his breath.
During this gap in the attack, Akabane locked his aura on Xu Le.
“It’s coming!”
The moment Xu Le felt himself being locked by those eyeballs, he already knew that the other party had activated their ability.
The shuttling of eyes!
Not to mention hearing about it, even if you actually saw it, you probably wouldn't be able to imagine the effect of this ability.
Twice before, Xu Le had been badly hurt by this ability.
But this time…
"Soul Devouring-Tree World is coming!"
Seeing that Xu Le was still slowly using the Tree Realm to descend, Akabane was mocking him in his heart:
"You're still using this slow move."
From the cloud of death just now, Akabane has already thought of a way to deal with or even kill Xu Le.
Now is the time to put this approach into practice.
The moment the psychic energy was released, Akabane disappeared from Xu Le's sight.
Although a dangerous aura was approaching from behind, Xu Le showed no sign of panic.
"What are you looking at?" Akabane's voice sounded from behind.
But Xu Le had no way to answer, he felt like his throat was being strangled.
That's right, the cloud of death came again, surrounding the air and making it impossible for him to breathe.
But it doesn't matter.
In fact, from the beginning, Xu Le had no intention of letting him go, because only in this way could he create a perfect opportunity for Chi Xiao to attack.
"Soul Devouring Seal."
It was the Soul-Devouring Seal again. This time, Xu Le even used the trunk of the Soul-Devouring Tree!
The target he had been preparing to seal was no longer Akabane's previous position, but himself.
"What are you doing?" Akabane suddenly realized something was wrong, but Xu Le had already entangled him with chaotic spiritual energy.
"Soon, I will be broken into pieces, and you will be broken into pieces too.
seal up."
Boom!
Chi Xiao in the distance saw Xu Le’s self-sealing, the huge trunk, branches, and leaves.
Xu Le sealed himself and Akabane together.
With just one glance, Chi Xiao already understood that this was the opportunity Xu Le created for her.
A real chance to kill Akabane!
She can't miss it.
But Chi Xiao still had some hesitation in her heart, because now her flame had the ability to purify everything.
Attacking Xu Le's seal with all his might could kill Akabane and possibly purify Xu Le as well.
Although Xu Le had just demonstrated extraordinary survivability, the destructive power of the purifying flame...
At this time, Xu Le was already entangled with Akabane.
He gave up the absorption effect of the Soul-Eating Tree.
Just to trap Chiyu during this period of time, so Chixiao has very little time left...
Now is the moment for the final decision.
"Huh..."
Chi Xiao let out a long breath, then his eyes focused.
"Let the fire cleanse everything!
Die, Akabane."
The infinite purifying flames ignited the Soul-Eating Tree. The flames wrapped around it layer by layer, burning the Soul-Eating Tree itself and the death energy wrapped in the Soul-Eating Tree.
Xu Le and Chiyu were entangled with each other and were swallowed up by the flames bit by bit.
Feeling the heat of the flames, Akabane also began to panic.
Having just been promoted to level 8, he has not yet enjoyed the admiration and admiration of the world, nor has he felt the supreme authority and power of the gods.
He still has a lot of things to do and higher peaks to climb.
In any case, he shouldn't have died here.
"No!"
Xu Le, who was entangled with Akabane, did not speak. He had been beaten inside the seal since he sealed himself.
Although the seal only lasted for a few seconds, he was beaten for a few seconds by a level 8 god inside.
It’s outrageous enough to think about.
Xu Le didn't have the strength to speak now. All he could express to Chi Xiao was to give him a thumbs up.
"Well done." Xu Le praised in his heart, and then waited quietly for the flames to devour everything.
All he could do now was to entangle Akabane and prevent him from escaping.
"Burn everything, Chi Xiao."
The rolling flames burned everything, and Chi Xiao watched Xu Le and Chi Yu being burned by his own flames.
The eyeballs of both men burst under the burning flames.
The energy of death and the power of chaos entangled together looked like Chi Xiao grilling two octopuses.
This fire has been burning for a long time...
…
About an hour passed.
Chi Xiao, who continued to output flames, finally stopped.
Looking at the burning Soul-Devouring Tree in front of him, Chi Xiao's breathing even trembled slightly.
"Why… "
Sighing, Chi Xiao watched the flames burn quietly.
The flames had enveloped the entire Soul-Eating Tree. Wherever there was flame, she could clearly sense the existence of matter and life.
But those things were being purified one by one by her fire.
Yes, the fire really purifies everything.
Including Akabane and Xu Le.
Will they die
Hope and not hope.
Chi Xiao is still not quite clear about how powerful the vitality of the gods is. After her promotion, she has no time to study her abilities.
By now, Chi Xiao no longer knew whether he really wanted to kill them.
I just hope that Xu Le can survive.
"He was so afraid of death and so confident... How could he die in a place like this?"
Chi Xiao slowly lowered his head, without a trace of joy on his face.
Neither promotion nor killing Akabane brought him joy.
Now, she was left with only inexplicable sadness.
Boom!
I don’t know if it was the burning flames that condensed the rain clouds, or if it was because the world of the Soul-Eating Tree was also sad about Xu Le’s death.
There was thunder in the sky and then it started to rain.
The rain fell on Chi Xiao's face, causing her eyes formed of flames to gradually go out.
It turned into a beautiful amber eye.
The arms and legs that were once broken also reappeared as a result.
But this is not a real arm, but a form condensed from fire energy.
It was very beautiful. Even someone like Chi Xiao, who was not very good at aesthetics, could feel the beauty of this state.
But unfortunately...
Card! ~
A sound of shattering interrupted Chi Xiao's thoughts. Her originally sad look instantly disappeared and then became solemn.
Kakaka! ~
The trunk of the Soul-Eating Tree suddenly shattered, and under the shattered trunk, a huge eyeball appeared out of thin air.
Death stare!
The power of the gods erupted in an instant, and there was no fear in Chi Xiao's eyes, only anger.
Her reborn amber child's hole also burst into flames.
Colliding with the death gaze released by the eyeball.
This is a confrontation between gods!
Sizzle!
The energy formed waves of turbulence around him. Chi Xiao burned himself in flames again, soared into the sky, and slapped his eyeball with a palm.
boom!
The eyeball exploded and a large amount of juice burst out, but under this blow, Chi Xiao felt something was wrong.
Originally, she was going to raise her hand and burn the eyeball off.
But now, Chi Xiao gave up this action.
He instead wrapped his body in flames and rushed directly into the eyeball.
"Xu Le!"
The eyeball is big, but not that big. Normally viewed from the outside, the eyeball is only about 3 meters in diameter.
If Chi Xiao drills into it, he will probably hit bottom soon.
But after she actually entered the eyeball, she discovered that this was an abyss of death...
Countless wronged souls stay here.
There were those red moon creatures that were polluted by the evil gods, a large number of underworld souls, and countless humans who were sacrificed.
They all stayed here.
The souls gathered together, as if expecting something.
Chi Xiao restrained his flames, followed the gaze of these underworld souls, and swam towards the abyss.
Soon, very soon, she came to a quiet place.
It's not that it's quiet here, but that the souls around are quiet because of waiting.
And Xu Le himself was sitting here at this moment.
Sitting here, telling stories to other people... other souls, I guess.
"This is a story about a fox demon..." Xu Le talked freely.
Huangquan souls listened very attentively, they didn't even notice Chi Xiao's appearance.
It is also possible that they have already discovered Chi Xiao's existence, but Chi Xiao's arrival is not more important than listening to the story for them.
“… The love between the fox demon and the maid finally stopped here and came to a perfect end!”
After a long time, Xu Le finally ended his story.
Chi Xiao, who was listening on the side, clapped softly.
This special action was spontaneous, but it also attracted the attention of many Huangquan souls.
Some of the underworld souls pondered for a moment, then began to applaud.
Trapped in the underworld, their souls will not be sublimated, nor will they be freed by Xu Le's story.
But Xu Le brought them stories.
"No one has come here for a long time. Thank you." A ghost from the underworld said to Xu Le.
"Thanks."
"Thanks."
There were many heartfelt thanks, but Xu Le didn't have the energy to respond to them one by one. He just nodded to indicate that he had felt their gratitude.
At this time, Xu Le had returned to his original state, and the protruding eyeballs on his body were gone.
Just a normal person, a normal storyteller.
When he raised his head, Xu Le had already turned his gaze to Chi Xiao:
"Has it been resolved?"
"Solved."
"Ha, I knew you could do it."
"Yeah." Chi Xiao felt a little embarrassed.
She felt that Xu Le believed that he could kill Akabane, but she did not firmly believe that Xu Le could survive this battle.
Perhaps this is a sign of lack of trust.
"So beautiful." Xu Le looked at Chi Xiao and said sincerely.
"Ah?" Chi Xiao was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds he realized that Xu Le was talking about him.
To be honest, she was more or less uncomfortable with such compliments, but after thinking about it, she nodded to Xu Le.
"Thanks."
The eyeballs filled with Huangquan water and dead souls burst, countless wronged souls flew out, and Xu Le and Chi Xiao were able to escape.
Regained new life and freedom, gained strength, and defeated the enemy.
The feeling of relief made Chi Xiao and Xu Le laugh, and then Chi Xiao suddenly hugged Xu Le and gave him a tight hug.
"We are... partners."
"Uh? Hmm."
Xu Le also smiled. This is what a woman who wants to express her emotions but is clumsy is like.
Xu Le hugged Chi Xiao with his backhand. Chi Xiao was obviously not used to being hugged by a man like this.
But she simply hesitated for a moment and let it go.
"What are you going to do?" Chi Xiao's eyes flickered.
Xu Le: …
I was shocked! Let go quickly.
She was really overthinking it. Xu Le really didn't have any thoughts about this at the moment.
Moreover, Ding Ke was left outside, and the current situation of the Psychic Ice Field has not yet been determined.
Xu Le felt that no matter what, the most urgent task was to find Ding Ke back, after all, he was his cat and his first companion.
It was even earlier than the time when I met Chi Xiao.
"Um, I think we should find Ding Ke now."
"Ah? Yes, you are right."
Chi Xiao felt a little embarrassed, even a little ashamed. What was she thinking just now
I actually forgot about my best friend.
It really shouldn't be.
Back to the topic, Xu Le closed his eyes and sensed that the chaotic spiritual energy spread out like tentacles.
Soon, he sensed Ding Ke wandering on the psychic ice field.
The poor black cat cursed Chi Xiao as he walked.
It can be seen that this guy is really angry.
Xu Le stretched out his hand, trying to control the Soul-Eating Tree to extend a long branch to bring Ding Ke back.
But the Soul Devouring Tree's reaction was very calm...
To be precise, there was no response.
Card bar!
A branch that was completely burned by the flames broke apart, fell from mid-air, and hit the psychic ice field.
Charcoal ash was scattered all over the ground. It seemed that even Chi Xiao's flame was not burning completely.
Or maybe she has always been restrained.
Xu Le saw his Soul-Eating Tree almost burned to ashes and gave a bitter smile.
The somewhat ugly smile on his face would of course be seen clearly by Chi Xiao who had been watching him.
"Xu Le..." Chi Xiao looked apologetic.
But Xu Le himself waved his hand:
"How can I ask you to apologize for something like this? If you don't try your best, there's no way you can win."
“The tree is gone.”
"If the tree is gone, we can plant another one. And even if I am the one standing in front of you in the future, for the ultimate goal, or to put it more mysteriously, for the ideal, sacrifice is necessary."
Chi Xiao’s brows were knitted together.
She used to say things like this and never thought it mattered.
Sacrificing for one's ideals is a long-cherished wish.
It is also a kind of persistence of a warrior. Fighting is instinctive and also her ideal. Being able to die for her ideal is the best thing.
But now that Xu Le said the same thing, she didn't want to listen.
People are like this, always double standards.
Even Chi Xiao himself is no exception.
