Chapter 1253 Extreme Hypocrisy

As the last word fell, the clarity in his eyes completely extinguished, and his entire body was completely wrapped in black air, suspended on the high platform, motionless, like a puppet without a soul.

Only the chains were still trembling slightly, as if showing off their victory.

Luo Li froze in place, her father's final roar still echoing in the hall.

She looked at the lifeless black air on the platform, the golden light on the Xuan Yue Sword flickering, and the anger in her heart rose.

It turns out that the other side of the life oath is her mother's life. From the very beginning, Mo Xuan had no intention of leaving her any way out.

"Ali, be careful!" Liuli suddenly screamed.

Luo Li suddenly came back to her senses and saw that the bones that were originally embedded in the rock wall had moved at some point.

They broke free from the chains, their joints rubbing against each other making harsh sounds, and a faint green light flashed in their empty eye sockets, slowly gathering together.

What’s even more terrifying is that in the shadow of the temple roof, countless pairs of scarlet eyes are slowly opening.

"Mo Xuan really has a backup plan." Luo Li took a deep breath and forced down her surging emotions.

She couldn't panic. Her father was still here and her mother was still in Mo Xuan's hands. If she made a mistake, everything would be over.

The Xuan Yue Sword made a beautiful sword flower in her hand, and the power of chaos erupted again, shattering the first few skeletons that approached.

"Want to trap me?" Luo Li's voice was as cold as ice. "Dream on!"

She tiptoed and rushed towards the rock wall on the left like an arrow.

The skeletons there are relatively sparse, so perhaps we can find a chance to break the deadlock.

The Xuan Yue Sword drew golden arcs, and wherever it passed, the bones were shattered and the black air dissipated.

But more skeletons came pouring in from all directions, endless and inexhaustible. They knew no pain, and even when chopped into pieces, the remains would piece themselves together and continue to pounce.

Luo Li retreated while fighting, and was soon forced to the center of the hall.

She looked up at her father on the platform, then scanned the skeletons that were approaching around her, her mind racing.

The solution...

At this moment, the skeletons suddenly stopped moving and turned towards the depths of the hall.

Luo Li followed their gaze and saw a figure slowly walking out of the darkness.

After she saw who it was, she narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a cold voice, "Mo Xuan."

Mo Xuan walked out slowly, his black robe stained with dark stains that had not yet dried, as if he had just been fished out of a pool of blood.

He was playing with a pitch-black jade slip in his hand. "You arrived earlier than I expected."

He stopped and stared at Luo Li across the broken bones. The smile in his eyes was even colder than the chill in the hall. "It seems that Luo Qi's miserable condition is very useful to you."

Luo Li pointed the Xuan Yue Sword directly at his face, and the power of chaos formed a whistling airflow around him: "What do you want?"

"It's very simple." Mo Xuan held up the jade slip, and the runes on his palm lit up red. "Use your Chaos Origin in exchange for their lives."

The jade slip was suspended in the air, emitting a strange suction force, sucking all the black air in the hall into it, and even the chains that bound Luo Qi on the platform glowed red.

Luo Qi's body twitched violently, and a faint golden soul light was revealed in the black air, but it was suppressed by the jade slip.

"Do you think I'll believe you?" Luo Li's voice was as cold as ice. "Hand over my mother, and I might be able to let you die more quickly."

"Qing'er?" Mo Xuan chuckled softly. The jade slip suddenly turned towards Luo Li, its suction suddenly increasing. "She is on the top floor of this Soul Locking Tower, coexisting with the tower spirit. If you destroy this tower, she will be the first to turn to ash."

He took a step forward, his black robe crackling as it brushed against broken bones. "The Origin of Chaos can purify everything, and naturally it can also replace Qing'er's soul to stabilize the pagoda spirit. Luo Li, you have no choice."

Luo Li caught a glimpse of her father's painful expression from the corner of her eye. She tightly grasped Xuan Yue and said coldly, "How do I know you won't regret it?"

"You don't have to believe it." Mo Xuan's jade slip slowly fell, and a red light illuminated half of the hall. "In three breaths, Luo Qi's soul will be completely devoured by the jade slip. At that time, Qing'er will also be born again..."

"Enough!" Luo Li interrupted harshly, and the Xuan Yue Sword fell to the ground with a clang.

She raised her hands, palms facing upward, and the origin of chaos surged out of her body like a tide, condensing into a beating golden ball of light in front of her.

The air around the ball of light was vibrating, and even Mo Xuan subconsciously took half a step back.

"I'll give it to you." Luo Li's face was as pale as paper, but her voice was unusually calm. "But you have to untie my father's chains first and let me see my mother."

Mo Xuan stared at the ball of light, greed flashing in his eyes, but was quickly suppressed by reason: "Inject your essence into the jade slip first, and I will grant you what you wish for."

The golden ball of light slowly floated towards the jade slip, and a dazzling light burst out the moment of contact.

Mo Xuan suddenly made a hand gesture, and his black robe moved without wind, with an expression of uncontrollable ecstasy on his face.

At this moment, Luo Li suddenly moved.

She did not pick up the Xuan Yue Sword, but rushed to the platform like a ghost, and pressed her right hand directly on the invisible barrier.

"With my blood, I will draw upon the power of the laws of heaven and break!"

Blood seeped into the barrier through her palm, and the power released by the golden light ball suddenly changed direction and flowed into the barrier along the blood.

“Crack!”

The barrier cracked into a spider-web-like gap, and Luo Li took the opportunity to drill in. The Xuan Yue Sword had returned to her hand at some point, and with one sword she cut off the thickest chain wrapped around Luo Qi.

The moment the chain broke, the red light on the jade slip suddenly went out.

Mo Xuan's expression changed drastically: "How dare you play tricks on me!"

The moment he pounced, Luo Li directly stuffed Luo Qi into the Tower of Gods, and the origin of chaos turned into a golden shield to wrap herself.

"Liuli, open the passage!"

Colored glass rushed out from the Chaos Jade and turned into a huge Chaos Colored Glass Tree. The top of the tree spread out and smashed the roof of the temple, revealing a crack leading to the upper level.

"Mo Xuan, you will never get what you want." Luo Li's voice echoed in the shield, "Mother's choice has never been you."

After he finished speaking, Luo Li soared into the sky along with Liuli. Mo Xuan's black energy chased to the edge of the crack, but was directly dispersed by Liuli's power.

He looked at the empty hall, the jade slip shattering in his palm. The madness in his eyes completely devoured his rationality: "Luo Li!"

On the top floor of the tower, a woman in green opened her eyes in the halo, looked at the golden light fading away in the crack, and sighed softly.

The other side.

The moment he rushed out of the Soul Locking Tower, the biting wind brushed across his cheek, causing a slight stinging sensation.

The Chaos Shield vibrated violently around Luo Li, and every collision with the demonic energy in the Demon Abyss caused a fishy-sweet taste in her throat.

"Ari, hold on! We're only a hundred feet away from the ground!" The giant tree transformed by Liuli cut a bloody path in front of it. The emerald green leaves were constantly corroded by the evil spirit, but were reborn at a faster speed.

Luo Li gritted her teeth and said, "Okay!"

When my feet finally set foot on the snowy ground of the northern border, the sky was already turning pale.

Liuli retracted her true form, transformed into a stream of light, and returned to the Chaos Jade. Her voice was filled with tired joy: "Finally got rid of him!"

Luo Li staggered back half a step and was about to use her spiritual power to steady herself when she saw black fog rising from the end of the snowfield.

Mo Xuan's figure was looming in the fog, and his black robe was rustling.

"Thought you could escape?" His voice lashed out. A bone staff had appeared in his hand, and green flames danced in the eye sockets of the skull embedded in the staff. "I've already stirred the demonic energy of the Soul Locking Tower. The entire northern border has become a trap."

Luo Li raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her lips. The Tower of Gods felt slightly hot inside her body, and her father's soul was temporarily stabilized.

She looked at the black mist that covered her ankles and suddenly smiled. The bloodstains on her silver-white armor shone coldly in the morning light. "Trapping formation? Then break it."

The black fog surged over her knees like a tide, bringing with it a biting chill that tried to erode Luo Li's soul power.

She took a deep breath, the power of chaos began to flow through her body again, and a hint of color appeared on her pale cheeks.

"Break the formation?" Mo Xuan slammed his bone staff to the ground, and countless blood-red mists suddenly appeared on the snowy plains. "This Northern Territory Trapping Formation is based on millions of resentful souls. Do you think you can purify it with the power of chaos alone?"

Deep grooves appeared on the ground, and countless twisted ghostly figures crawled out of the grooves, roaring and rushing towards Luo Li.

They are not physical entities, but they can directly devour the soul. They are the resentful souls of the dead released from the Soul Locking Tower.

Luo Li did not retreat, but took a step forward.

The Xuan Yue Sword had returned to his hand at some point, and the sword light swept across, and the golden arc of light chopped the first approaching demon shadow into green smoke.

"So what if there are a million resentful souls?" Her voice echoed in the wind and snow. "They were all innocent victims harmed by demons in life. Do they think they will become your minions in death?"

The power of chaos flowed into the earth along with the sword light, and golden lines spread outward with her as the center.

When the ghosts that were rushing towards them touched the golden light, their movements suddenly stopped, and a faint light appeared in their empty eye sockets.

The next second, the demon shadows roared in pain and stopped attacking Luo Li. Instead, they all turned towards Mo Xuan in the black fog.

Mo Xuan's expression changed slightly, and the green flame on the bone staff suddenly surged: "A bunch of trash, dare to turn against the master!"

The black fog surged into giant hands, slapping towards the wavering ghosts.

However, at this moment, Luo Li moved.

She turned into a stream of light, the Xuan Yue Sword pointed directly at Mo Xuan's eyebrows, and the power of chaos actually formed a pair of huge wings of light behind her.

"Your biggest flaw is that you never trust people's hearts."

The moment the sword light penetrated the black fog, Mo Xuan's bone staff, which was blocking his chest, was shaken out of his hand.

Mo Xuan lowered his head and looked at the bloody hole in his chest. The power of chaos burned his demonic body, making a sizzling sound.

The black energy and golden light entangled violently at his wound. The excruciating pain should have driven him crazy, but he only smiled softly, with an almost twisted appreciation, and chuckled:

"Oh, you really are like your father. Just as stubborn, just as ignorant of current affairs."

His voice was not loud, but it was filled with coldness and hatred, as if he was recalling something in the past that made him hate.

Luo Li succeeded in her attack, but she did not relax at all. She pointed the Xuan Yue Sword at the ground, and the golden light at the tip of the sword flickered, vigilantly locking onto Mo Xuan.

She knew very well that Mo Xuan's strength was only higher than hers, and he would never fall so easily.

Sure enough, Mo Xuan's laughter suddenly became sharp and crazy.

"But you and your daughter have forgotten that what I hate most in my life are you, the extremely hypocritical Luo family members!"
