Chapter 568: Hopes Shattered



Shangshan said angrily:

"He is not me. As long as I have enough vitality, I can reshape my body, but he..."

"How great do you think you are?"

Ah Zhu hadn't taken off her mask yet, because this was Xia Xiao's vitality, and she couldn't control it. But she still stood beside Xia Xiao, blocking Shang Shan's vision, making him look contemptuous when he raised his eyes. Anyone who dared to talk to her like this had been slapped hard by her, and she was not being unreasonable now, but was thinking about Xia Xiao.

"These talismans will crush his body and crush his internal organs."

Shangshan thought that if he spent some time talking and told Azhu and Xiaoran about Xia Xiao's current situation, he would be able to make them take action, but they did not move. It was normal for Azhu not to listen to him, but why did Xiaoran?

Shangshan looked at her, raised his voice and said hoarsely:

“Go ahead!”

"sorry."

Xiao Ran's hands were clenched into fists, but there was no other way. If she tried to stop Xia Xiao at this time, she would only be doing more harm than good. Only by leaving a long distance through that talisman formation could she wait for reinforcements and have a chance to escape. Otherwise, the first three talisman formations and the defensive talisman formation alone would not be able to stop that woman. She was so strong that she could play with them and ignore these talisman formations. How could she be careless?

His eyes were full of confusion and puzzlement, and Shangshan glanced at Azhu and Xiaoran with disdain, but it was this look that angered Azhu, causing her to rush towards Shangshan, ride on her and swing her hand.

Xiao Ran wanted to stop him, but even if she stretched out her hand, she couldn't stop him with her speed. When a woman becomes fierce, it is incredible.

“So fast!”

Xiaoran couldn't help but be shocked. When had Ah Zhu ever acted so resolutely?

A clear voice echoed in the space, making the atmosphere suddenly become serious. But in Xiao Ran's eyes, although Ah Zhu had a bad temper, he had never hit anyone. Was this a contest between rivals? Or... was this what Ah Zhu had always wanted to do?

"You dare to hit me?"

The unruly Shangshan turned his head in surprise. The ferocity and murderous intent on his face made Ah Zhu vaguely afraid, but she still bent her knees, pressed on Shangshan, and grabbed Shangshan's swan neck with her palms, pressing him hard to the ground.

With the black armor Ah Zhu was wearing, her movements were extremely dashing, but Shangshan's aura was much stronger than hers, and even though he was pinned to the ground, he was still full of heroic spirit. Ah Zhu was a little scared, but the mask blocked her fear and gave her great courage, making her unusually bold and even a little impulsive.

"If you keep talking nonsense, not only will Xia Xiao die, but we will too! If it weren't for you, who would be willing to take such a risk and travel thousands of miles to this godforsaken place? If you were fine, why would Xia Xiao be like this? When it comes to caring for him, no one cares more about him than I do, so just shut up!"

Ah Zhu knew best how much Xia Xiao had paid to save Shang Shan, even quarreling with her and running away from the academy. So now she didn't want Shang Shan to pretend to care about her. If she really cared about Xia Xiao, this wouldn't happen, and nothing would happen. So Xia Xiao didn't need her fake care that didn't work!

Her heart was beating incredibly fast, and Ah Zhu's brain was hot. For the first time, she was so angry that her whole body was shaking. It was also the first time that she said everything in her heart out when she was angry. She felt very happy, but she was still accompanied by a fear that was difficult to dispel.

Ah Zhu was afraid of overdoing anything, and always remembered what her grandmother said: leave a way out for things so that we can meet again in the future. So she immediately regretted it, thinking that it was okay to have a few quarrels, and she shouldn't have resorted to violence.

After standing up quickly, she returned to her previous position as if nothing had happened, but she glanced at Xia Xiao from time to time, hoping that he would wake up soon.

A cold snort frightened Ah Zhu, but she did not turn her head, nor did she look at Shang Shan. The latter was lying on the ground, wearing only a bra and trousers. Her body was full of wounds, but she was slowly recovering, but the arrogance in her eyes had not faded at all, just like the expression on her face, still arrogant, disdainful, and even more sarcastic:

"Humph! Isn't it just envy after all?"

Shangshan sneered, Ahzhu's Taoism was far inferior to hers, and so was her conduct. The latter acted evasively and was afraid of many things. But Shangshan was different, she was extremely strong and felt that everything was reasonable. If she didn't have someone she was afraid of, perhaps no one would be able to control her in the future.

This time, he really owed them, so Shangshan didn't force them anymore, just looked at Xia Xiao. But she chose to be quiet, more because she couldn't make a fuss at this time. The shackles of darkness could block the mind, which was extremely evil, making her somewhat helpless. But is it really okay for Xia Xiao to take over the talisman formation again?

Don't think too much, something will definitely happen!

Xia Xiao heard them arguing and wanted to speak up to stop them and make them quiet down. The most important thing now was to break through the encirclement, but he simply couldn't do it!

All of his recovered energy was absorbed by the talisman formation. His mental strength, which had long been in chaos, was like a giant holding up a collapsing mountain. Although he managed to hold it up, he was already on the verge of death because he had already collapsed.

Xia Xiao relied on his strong willpower to hold on, but the pain all over his body was unbearable. The loads from the first four rune arrays were added together, and suddenly one plus one plus one plus one was already greater than four, causing his body to continue to break apart, and finally he was about to fall to the ground and be unable to get up. However, these stinging pains would only become stronger because of the complete takeover of the fifth rune array, and would not weaken at all.

The defensive array was a tree, with a thick and twisted trunk, and was extremely hard. The woman outside was looking for a way to crack it. She had long admitted that these arrays were powerful, but it was a pity that the one who took over was Xia Xiao, and he was still far from it.

Therefore, the countless metal blades that trapped him had been broken into pieces all over the ground, forever shrouded in darkness, and difficult to heal. And the offensive array that had stained the universe eventually extinguished, but all fires would be like this. Just like light will be swallowed up by darkness sooner or later, and a purer light will be derived from it. The history of the Great Wilderness is like this, with repeated birth and destruction, and all worlds are the same, but the length of time is different.

A hundred-meter-high tree is not unusual in this demonic grassland, nor is it considered towering, but it is strange enough. The trunk of the tree is extremely bloated at the point where it enters the ground, like a seal. The trunk is clearly green, but it did not move at all under the bombardment of the woman, as if it was harder than a tortoise shell.

The woman had seen this array before. Even if she exerted all her power, it would be difficult to cut it down in a short time. It was not afraid of water or fire, and remained strong when it saw a golden sword. Soil was even more difficult to hurt it, and it would even help it. It had no other abilities, but just stood there to protect the people inside from harm.

Therefore, the woman began to look for other methods. Under the first dark yellow array was the root system of the tree. They were extremely exaggerated through the darkness of the collapsed earth and went to the soil far away. The woman wanted to attack from below, but it was difficult to succeed due to the two arrays. In the end, she could only go back to the side of the tree and saw it off in the simplest, most time-consuming and labor-intensive way.

She could have done nothing and just waited for them to come out, but she wanted to crush the hopes of Xia Xiao and the others and force them to go another way. After walking on the bright road for a long time, it is time to venture into the dark land. Standing in the darkness and looking at the bright land, you can always see more clearly.

The darkness was like a saw blade raised from the sky, constantly pulling at the roots of the tree, but what fell to the ground was not sawdust, but vital energy. They scattered across the sky and earth with a hoarse sound. They could have healed, but the scars left by the darkness were difficult to treat. So, these pure vital energy that were originally sawdust turned into birds and beasts, and came towards the woman without fear.

Like moths flying into a flame, there is still a moment of light that is shocking, but these bluebirds just dissipated in the sound of wind breaking when darkness came, leaving nothing behind, and the wind they raised did not even reach the woman before they scattered into the sky and earth.

The woman's beautiful face under the visor was full of smiles, as if she was doing something that interested her with great interest. The saw blade was also swung very vigorously, and the vibrations emitted when it was constantly pulled made Xia Xiao feel a chill on his back in the tree.

The unbearable and unpleasant sound continued to spread, causing Xiaoran and Azhu to raise their heads when they heard it, as if they would be exposed to the woman's sight at any time.

The long wait of the three women became even longer, but what they waited for was not only the talisman array, but also no longer support, but a very sharp sawtooth filled with black air. It pierced into the space that was only five meters high, revealing the hiding place of Xia Xiao and the other two little by little, exposing them to the outside world.

The vitality beside Xiao Ran rushed towards the sawtooth, and the bird's cry was long, but it did not change at all, just continued to do simple movements, letting the light from outside shine into this space little by little. Sunlight can dispel fear, but the light from the outside is too gloomy at this time, making the three women frown, and a figure stood on the stump full of light spots and looked down at them.

The slender figure and perfect proportions would have been a very beautiful sight like Xiao Ran, and everyone would have looked at her a few more times. But at this moment, the woman who represented darkness was a dagger and a sickle, and she was also the most real god of death. The moment the three women saw her, they felt as if a sharp weapon was on their necks, and even a few drops of bright red blood had been forced out.

For some reason, they thought the woman was smiling, but she was clearly wearing a visor. But the current situation was really a death trap.

But the black spots cannot be surrounded and killed, just like this woman is just waiting, doing nothing. Even though her breath is weaker than before, she still does nothing and just waits.

What she waited for was a stream of light, which quickly turned into a golden array in the air, and at the end of the stream of light, Xia Xiao and the other four followed closely. The power of the array was very strong, and they used its momentum to get rid of the invisible control of the woman. This road was extremely difficult, but it seemed to be successful at this time, because they left the tree hole and successfully arrived under the array of talismans.

In the glow of the talisman formation, everyone reached out their hands and were about to succeed, but a black light pinched the talisman formation and dispersed an extremely weak air wave, but it still caused the four people to fall from the air and hit hard on the tree stump full of vital energy light spots.

"It's not time to leave yet."

The woman's palm was like a claw, holding a huge talisman array in the air, which caused Xia Xiao and others' hopes to fall to the ground like their bodies. She didn't take action not because she didn't have the ability, but to let Xia Xiao and others see that they had no way out, and there was only darkness in front of them.
