Chapter 125. Facing Cheng Yu, fortunately...

Cheng Yu held onto the giant's neck, staring at the sword tip that gleamed with a hint of sharpness. Her crimson eyes were filled with fighting spirit and a greedy desire for Lin Xiaoxiao herself.

She grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth like a shark, and said with a feigned regret, "Originally, we had the chance to be friends."

Lin Xiaoxiao scoffed: "Friends? I have no interest in being friends with a viper."

Cheng Yu was taken aback at first, then a fierce killing intent flashed in her eyes.

He then laughed and waved his hand, commanding the giant corpse man, his tone filled with obvious regret: "It seems we are destined to be enemies, what a pity."

The regret it expressed seemed to be lamenting that Lin Xiaoxiao was not sensible, or perhaps it was a pity that they really couldn't become friends.

'Ang—' The giant corpse-man, pieced together from countless corpse shells, roared in the direction of Lin Xiaoxiao, its hands braced on the ground like a reptile, its foul-smelling mouth wide open.

A foul, fishy stench wafted towards Lin Xiaoxiao, whose face remained cold as she lightly swung her lightsaber.

When the lightsaber was swung, the energy it generated cleaved the strong wind in two.

As the wind blew the strands of hair that fell across Lin Xiaoxiao's face, at the same time, a well-fitting golden energy armor quickly materialized on her body.

The giant corpse raised its hand at a speed that looked slow but was actually very fast. The hand, which originally had no fingers, suddenly had hundreds of corpse shells rapidly pieced together to form a pair of large hands that emitted a putrid smell, and then it clenched into a fist.

The corpses stared with their big, round eyes wide open, baring their teeth and looking in Lin Xiaoxiao's direction. They looked eerie, terrifying, and disgusting.

As the fist, nearly 7 meters long, was about to reach Lin Xiaoxiao, she swung her sword backhand.

With a loud 'peng—', the giant corpse's hand snapped off and exploded into two pieces, falling to the ground with a deafening roar before being swallowed up by the horde of corpses below.

The next second, the giant corpse bent down and touched the surging tide of corpses beneath its feet, which was like seawater. The giant hand, which had been blown to pieces, was restored once again.

When it raised its hand again, Lin Xiaoxiao threw over a hundred experience coins worth 100,000 each towards the giant corpse, blocking its next move.

Xiao Weizhi raised his staff, and a large, 16-meter-long, fiery red magic circle materialized around him, 3 meters in front of him.

He then transformed into a humanoid turret, manipulating a magic circle to unleash tens of thousands of fireballs the size of heads at the giant corpse.

The series of explosions created a cloud of smoke that blocked the view of everyone present.

But this group of people does not include the giant corpse in front of us.

Its eyes are huge, dark holes, so it can only rely on its sense of flesh and blood to locate its prey. This fog has no effect on it.

A fist, carrying a foul stench, hurtled towards Lin Xiaoxiao, bursting through the smoke.

She kicked out and flew ten meters to the side, dodging the punch. She then swung a dozen swords with her backhand, the sword energy carrying golden power striking the giant corpse and quickly creating several large craters several meters wide.

In the blink of an eye, the large hole on the giant corpse was quickly filled by the horde of corpses beneath its feet.

Lin Xiaoxiao's face turned very ugly when she saw this.

She had been to the Corpse Mountain where Cheng Yu was located and knew the sheer number and scale of the Corpse Mountain, which resembled a continuous mountain range, in addition to the number of professionals who had died in battle in Mona City.

If this giant corpse continues to consume energy endlessly, no amount of energy will be enough.

Xiao Weizhi, who was standing to the side, had started to break out in a cold sweat on his forehead after using tens of thousands of fireballs in succession, and a large part of his energy had been consumed.

She transmitted her voice to Xiao Weizhi, saying, "Weizhi, can you hold off this giant corpse man? I'll deal with the female corpse on the shoulder."

Xiao Weizhi replied telepathically, "Okay."

The two exchanged a glance. Xiao Weizhi dispersed the fiery red magic circle in front of him, raised his hand and used the forbidden spell Mist, creating a large area of ​​thick white mist that enveloped the area.

Taking advantage of the thick fog, Lin Xiaoxiao flew upwards quickly, heading straight for Cheng Yu's location.

Cheng Yu howled, and the zombie horde surged up in huge waves. The corpses seemed to have a mind of their own, climbing on the giant zombie's body and howling as they crawled toward Lin Xiaoxiao's direction.

As Lin Xiaoxiao flew upwards, she would occasionally throw out an experience coin, which would explode and extend from the giant corpse, grabbing at the withered hand covered in rotting flesh.

A few minutes later, Lin Xiaoxiao flew to Cheng Yu's location, closed in, and mercilessly slashed at Cheng Yu's neck with her lightsaber.

Cheng Yu gently raised her hand, and a thick wall made of more than fifty corpses appeared in front of her, blocking Lin Xiaoxiao's attack.

The moment the attack was blocked, Cheng Yu was lifted up by countless withered hands below and carried away from this dangerous place.

Then Cheng Yu sat on those withered hands and blew a sharp whistle. Many corpses crawled up from the giant corpse and slowly pounced towards Lin Xiaoxiao.

With a flick of her sword, Lin Xiaoxiao sliced ​​the corpses in two.

The corpses immediately lost their ability to move and fell from the sky like dumplings being dropped into a pot, sinking into the horde of corpses below, where they were buried and disappeared without a trace.

Lin Xiaoxiao drew her sword and chased after Cheng Yu, repeatedly slashing at the corpses that tried to block her way, while occasionally dodging the skulls that had been ripped off and thrown at her like bombs.

When Lin Xiaoxiao first saw those corpses remove their skulls and throw them at her, she was stunned for a few seconds. Then she quickly erected a 3-meter-wide semi-circular energy shield to block the skulls that would explode on their own and generate pollution.

For the next two hours, Lin Xiaoxiao chased and Cheng Yu dodged, the two constantly exchanging blows on the giant corpse.

But Cheng Yu was like an eel, constantly dodging and creating all sorts of obstacles, unwilling to face Lin Xiaoxiao head-on.

The giant corpse's human skills were firmly restrained, drawing aggro and determined to kill Xiao Weizhi, who flew around in mid-air like a mosquito, constantly causing massive damage.

Xiao Weizhi's forehead was covered in cold sweat, his thin lips were turning white, and his body was beginning to tremble uncontrollably. His internal energy had reached its limit, and he could only hold on for another five minutes at most.

Hundreds of meters in the air, Lin Xiaoxiao, who was trembling with Cheng Yu, noticed Xiao Weizhi's unusual behavior through the contract.

Through the contract, tens of millions of faith powers were poured into Xiao Weizhi's body to replenish the energy he lacked.

Two minutes later, Xiao Weizhi's energy was fully restored, even showing signs of overflowing. He dispelled the energy staff in his hand, clenched his fists at his sides, and roared, "Ah—"

Dark energy surged around him, enveloping him completely.

Soon, amidst the raging wind, a hundred-meter-tall giant formed from condensed energy, with a semi-transparent body and no facial features, appeared, its fist swinging towards the giant corpse's head.

One punch shattered half of the giant corpse's head, and the headless giant fell backward with a 'peng—'

Cheng Yu's feet were forced off the corpse giant, and it flew awkwardly in mid-air.

Lin Xiaoxiao seized the opportunity, swung her sword, and cut off its right hand. Before it could react, she threw out a flame of faith, which burned the right hand to ashes.

Cheng Yufei hovered in mid-air, touching the cross-section of her forearm where she had lost her right hand with her trembling left hand, her bloodshot eyes fixed on Lin Xiaoxiao not far away.

Its body shimmered with black light as it roared, "Damn it, my hand! I'll kill you, ang—"

As a scream resembling a dolphin's cry rang out, the city of Mona below shook and trembled as if an earthquake had struck. Then, the ground cracked open, creating deep, bottomless fissures.

From the cracks in the ground, one after another, armored humanoid pollutants crawled out, and more and more pollutants appeared, mixing into the middle of the sea of ​​corpses.

The black mist swirling around the contaminated bodies gradually spread to the ordinary corpses, causing them to undergo noticeable changes. Their bodies became more robust and powerful, and their levels slowly increased.

Lin Xiaoxiao's body glowed with golden light as she engaged in battle with Cheng Yu, who was enveloped in black light.

Above the sky, golden and black figures clashed, the sounds of metal colliding and explosions echoing hundreds of meters in the air.

Two hours later, the huge, light green phantom of the right city disappeared.

Three hours later, the two illusory figures of Zuo Cheng disappeared, and the gigantic black cat dissipated, its fate unknown.

Four hours later, the last two phantoms in the left and right cities disappeared. Lin Xiaoxiao's other four guardians were defeated and forced to return to the summoning space to recuperate.

Five hours later, Xiao Weizhi's energy was completely depleted. He was buried deep in the ground by the endless pollutants, his body dissipated, and he returned to the summoning space as light spots.

Cheng Yu's body was covered in wounds from the lightsaber, and her hair was uneven, as if it had been chewed by a dog.

It looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, who was covered in wounds and still panting heavily, and laughed wildly: "Your companions can't hold on anymore, but our army of pollutants is still advancing into the city. You've lost, lucky darling."

Lin Xiaoxiao's wounds continued to bleed, and she gasped for breath. Her golden eyes swept downwards, clearly seeing the densely packed pollutants in the city of Mona below, as well as countless more outside the city, all rushing towards her.

She deliberately dispelled the lightsaber in her hand, her eyes showing no fear, and chuckled, "Loss? Have you forgotten something?"

Xingyan and the others borrowed the power of the gods and requested the divine image to descend, but she hasn't used it yet.

As if remembering something, Cheng Yu's expression turned extremely ferocious. It roared at the sky, "Aren't you going to make a move? If she uses the divine phantom, everything will be in vain."

People like Xingyan and Kagome used the power of faith to request the illusory figures to descend, but those were just illusory figures; their true gods did not exist on this planet, and their power was limited.

But Lin Xiaoxiao is different. The Goddess of Luck is in another dimension on this planet. Once she requests a divine phantom, what comes may not be a phantom, but the real one.

This is why the God of Greed, Orange, Nuenluo, Atums, and others are so wary of Lin Xiaoxiao.

Just after Cheng Yu's voice fell, a cloud of black mist, no longer hiding, swept rapidly toward Lin Xiaoxiao.

Just as the black mist was about to touch Lin Xiaoxiao, a golden light emanated from her body, and the black mist let out a hoarse scream: "Aaaaaaahhhhhh..."

Those golden lights were like wildfire spreading across the land, carrying the momentum to burn away all the black mist. In the blink of an eye, most of the black mist was melted away.

In the end, it survived only by abandoning most of the black mist and cutting off its tail.

The golden light, using Lin Xiaoxiao's body as a base, rapidly expanded, forming a huge pillar of light.

Floating in the middle is Lin Xiaoxiao, who has lost consciousness after requesting the illusory image of a god to descend. Her whole body is like a shrimp that has been turned upside down, with dazzling golden light shining from her eyes and wide-open mouth.

The goddess of fortune in the realm of gods sensed the request and her eyes lit up with excitement. Because of the excessive movement, the energy chains binding her clattered rapidly.

He parted his red lips slightly: "I grant the request of the agent—Lin Xiaoxiao—to descend."

As the beam of light grew larger, the black mist and Cheng Yu's expressions changed drastically, and they immediately fled without looking back.

A moment later, a beautiful goddess, a hundred meters tall, wearing a crown of seven-colored gemstones, a flowing seven-colored dress, her face veiled by divine light, and her skin radiating a holy glow, crossed space and appeared in the pillar of light.

Lady Luck smiled slightly, thinking to herself: After being imprisoned for thousands of years, I have finally escaped that damned cage and can see the light of day again.

Since the goddess appeared, the pillar of light has grown larger and larger, exceeding the entire area of ​​Mona City, and continues to extend outwards.

All the polluted beings, polluted beasts, corpses, stowaways, and so on in Mona City... the moment they were touched by the beam of light, they turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared without a trace.

Lady Luck glanced down at Lin Xiaoxiao floating before her and chuckled, "Never mind, I'm in a good mood today."

With a wave of his hand, a massive golden magic circle covering an area of ​​three thousand kilometers appeared.

Light rain slowly fell from the magic circle. This light rain not only broke down the black mist in mid-air, but also caused black smoke to rise from the black soil as it fell to the ground, turning its color into brown.

The half-dead professional, upon coming into contact with the rain of light, experienced rapid healing of his wounds and a surge in energy recovery.

Xingyan, Gewei, Cangshu, Zhongsang, and Tianmier collapsed in various places, their bodies greedily absorbing the rain of light even in their unconscious state.

A vortex formed around Lin Xiaoxiao, rapidly absorbing the light rain in mid-air through its own contract.

In the summoning space, Xiao Weizhi, Sicily, and the other four divine protectors, whose bodies had originally dissipated into specks of light, rapidly coalesced and recovered...

Half an hour later, the rain of light vanished. The Goddess of Fortune gazed towards the hiding place of the God of Greed, and silently uttered: 'Greed, I await your demise.'

Finally, Lady Luck glanced longingly at the blue sky before being pulled back to the special realm of the gods by energy chains that appeared out of nowhere.

At the heart of the abyss, thick black mist churned rapidly, and amidst the clanging of chains, a hoarse voice, tinged with excitement, rang out: "He has appeared, He has appeared... Luckily, He has appeared..."

Having lost its right hand and had half of its left leg melted away by the beam of light, Cheng Yu limped back to its lair, looking at the nearly empty mountain of corpses, and muttered some curses under its breath.

When Lin Xiaoxiao opened her eyes again, a day had passed.

She slowly sat up from the bed. The black cat, who had been nestled beside her, slowly raised its eyes, glanced at her with its emerald green eyes, then stretched and walked outside.

Not long after, Xingyan walked in from outside the tent: "Awake?"

Lin Xiaoxiao asked in a hoarse voice, "What's the situation now?"

Xingyan pulled up a chair, sat down beside her bed, and took out a bottle of water from her spatial storage, handing it to her: "The situation is a bit special right now, have some water first."

From Xingyan, Lin Xiaoxiao learned that a special area of ​​more than 1,000 kilometers around the city of Mona was formed, where the blue sky could be clearly seen.

The surrounding land returned to normal, and the polluting beasts disappeared without a trace. However, apart from this area, other places remained black and polluted.

Now, the entire city of Mona has been destroyed. Lau Evan, Cang Shu, Zhong Sang, and others are organizing disaster relief and planning to rebuild Mona.

As for the inside story about opening the city gates, it has also been thoroughly investigated.

It was Xu Yilang from Blackcole City who spread rumors to lure Lin Xiaoxiao away. Then, the Mu and Wang families of the Dragon Kingdom bribed the staff inside Mona City to quietly open the city gates and release the enemy's contaminated body.

The case involved tens of thousands of people. Of the 1,324 survivors, they have been arrested by Lloyd Evan and his men and are temporarily detained in a temporary prison.

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded to Xingyan to indicate that she understood, then took out the prosthetic leg from the maintenance box and slowly put it on her right leg.

Suddenly, a dirty boy with bloodshot eyes burst into the tent. His voice was hoarse and choked with emotion: "Sister-in-law, can you find my brother?"

Immediately afterwards, a tall, burly man dressed in full black armor grabbed Xiao Yanci and bowed apologetically: "I'm sorry, Miss Lin, we weren't paying attention and let this brat sneak in."

Lin Xiaoxiao frowned and gestured to the burly man to release the child: "You can leave now. This child is my younger brother."

After the big man left, she got up and walked to Xiao Yanci, who was already 1.83 meters tall but still looked childish, and handed him a handkerchief: "Don't cry, tell me slowly what happened."

Xiao Yanci's tears fell in a steady stream, her voice choked with sobs: "Grandpa, Grandpa is dying. He wants to see my eldest brother one last time. I... I've been searching for him for so long, but I haven't been able to find him."

Lin Xiaoxiao looked surprised: "Something happened to Grandpa Xiao?"

How could that be? After they landed in the Black Abyss, they, along with Uncle Lin and the others, were secretly protected by people sent by Ina. Logically speaking, they should have been the safest group. How could anything have happened to them?

Xiao Yanci's tears fell even harder: "It's my fault, it's all my fault. Grandpa got into trouble because he was trying to protect me."

Lin Xiaoxiao took out her handkerchief again, raised it to wipe Xiao Yanci's tears, and turned to Xingyan to say, "I'm going out for a bit. Contact me if you need anything."

After saying that, he led Xiao Yanci toward the Xiao family army and quickly poured a large amount of faith power into the summoning space.

Summon Xiao Weizhi and convey the news of Old Master Xiao's critical condition through the contract's telepathic communication.

Inside the Xiao family army compound, in a makeshift ward, the elderly Mr. Xiao lay weakly, while the doctors beside him continued to use their skills to keep him alive until his last breath.

With red eyes, Mr. Xiao sat on the right side of the hospital bed, his hands resting on his knees, gazing at Mr. Xiao, who was on his last breath.

Xiao Wantang sat on the left side of the hospital bed, holding the old man's hand with one hand and wiping away her tears with the other, sobbing, "Grandpa, my second brother went to find my sister-in-law, and my eldest brother is on his way back. Please wait a little longer."

A few minutes later, Grandpa Xiao's pupils began to dilate.

At that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Xiao Weizhi strode in from outside the door. He bent his knees and knelt directly beside Old Master Xiao's bed. He said in a hoarse voice, "Grandpa, your unworthy grandson Weizhi has returned."

After seeing Xiao Wei, Old Master Xiao regained some of his strength, experiencing a brief moment of lucidity before death. He waved for everyone to leave, leaving only himself to chat with Xiao Wei for a few minutes.

Ten minutes later, Lin Xiaoxiao was called in.

Grandpa Xiao took Xiao Weizhi's hand and placed it on Lin Xiaoxiao's hand, saying in a low voice, "Miss Lin, I'm entrusting my silly boy to you from now on."

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded emphatically: "Okay, Grandpa Xiao, I swear on my position that I will take good care of Weizhi from now on."

Half an hour later, deafening cries came from Xiao Jiajun's residence.

Xiao Wantang was held in Xiao Yanci's arms, almost crying herself to death; Xiao's father and the others were also secretly wiping away tears...
