Ah Zhu's eyes widened, his mind confused by Xia Xiao's roar, but when he turned around, Xiao Ran had disappeared from this world.
"Sister Xiaoran?"
Ah Zhu looked around, up and down, but Xiao Ran was nowhere to be found. The three people outside of Xia Xiao's body, even though they had great strength, were all worried about Xia Xiao's rage.
"How much energy of living beings has this guy absorbed? He is so violent!"
"It should be less than a hundred."
"That's right. Even for the magic path, there is a limit to what can be absorbed. It's impossible to absorb too much the first time."
The three of them formed a triangle, placing Xia Xiao in a triangular pyramid of vitality. The magic power in his body continued to evolve into magic energy, and was also continuously extracted. But Xia Xiao never showed any reaction of trying his best, as if there was still a lot of magic energy in his body, and they simply could not absorb it all.
At this moment, Xia Xiaohong's eyes were fixed, like a real demon, holding the knife and constantly hitting the inner wall of the triangular pyramid, causing violent ripples in the vitality. The overbearing demonic energy remaining on it was moving along the three people's bodies, trying to absorb their life energy.
Xia Xiao's careless move could not succeed. Although the several powerful men of the Walking Head Church did not have the strength of the Tao, how could they be easily broken by Xia Xiao? But outside them, a middle-aged man in a black robe was thrown by the dragon's tail and smashed towards this side from a high altitude.
By twisting his body, the man didn't smash the triangular pyramid made of pure energy, but fell to one side, breaking the ground into a huge pit. When he stood up from it, his black robe was torn, revealing a square-faced man with sharp edges. Although in Xia Xiao's eyes, it was just a huge ball of living energy, but it was him, Xia Xiao smelled it, it was him who killed Ju Mang before!
“Damn it—”
Xia Xiao spoke very harshly, and after cursing a few times, he continued to hit the inside of the triangular pyramid. The scarlet light in his eyes drowned out the last bit of rationality.
kill!
revenge!
This was the only thing Xia Xiao had to do at the moment. He rushed forward eagerly, waving the knife in his hand recklessly. He quickly forgot the reason for his actions and only remembered the purpose, which was to chop the man in front of him into pulp. The devil's way was like this. When the devil's energy penetrated the body and mind, it would become a primitive animal, only remembering to kill and plunder life.
Boom!
The triangular pyramid shook violently, and the three strong men looked at each other.
"This guy is so fierce!"
"Be careful, he has absorbed the life energy of a thousand people."
"A thousand people?"
The three of them looked at Shangshan who had spoken at the same time, but she nodded heavily, her worry about Xia Xiao exceeding any time before.
Whether it was bearing the pressure of the talisman array or absorbing vital energy before, she had never been so worried because that was only a one-sided threat. But now that she has fallen into the path of evil, she is experiencing a double torture from both inside and outside.
The power of the demonic path will actively transform the vitality into demonic energy, and eventually devour the vitality tree. If the tree becomes a demon, it will never be able to return to the right path. In this process, it will be very painful for Xia Xiao to resist, just like it is not easy to quit any addiction. And if it comes to that, I am afraid that the academy will not be able to withstand the pressure from all parties and will eventually have to compromise.
Shang Shanben didn't care about anyone, and Xia Xiao didn't have much to do with her. She was not the same person as Shu Shuang, who had been with Xia Xiao for two years, spring, summer, autumn and winter. Although she had been with Xia Xiao before Shu Shuang, she had always been a weapon.
With this identity alone, her position in Xia Xiao's heart could never be compared with Shu Shuang. She had saved Xia Xiao many times, and had released her own meager scarlet light in the face of different people and different environments, but it was hard to compare with Xia Xiao's coming this time, so she hoped that Xia Xiao would be safe and sound, and not really go to the point where everyone in the world would punish him. But what Xia Xiao was doing now was just that.
The silent world had long been like Shura's purgatory, and even affected the outside world, making it dark. A wisp of black silk floated in it, and suddenly broke the triangular pyramid when Xia Xiao hit it.
He spat out three mouthfuls of blood, expressing shock and disbelief, but Xia Xiao did indeed shoot out in front of the three powerful men from the Walking Head Church, and slashed the square-faced middle-aged man with a knife.
The man who was being restrained by Hu Bugui was suddenly hit hard. It was a heavy blow that came flying over him, so fast that it created a crack in the space.
In front of the black dragon, Xia Xiao was holding a simple knife. Just looking at his back, Hu Bugui could not see anything unusual, but there was no trace of vitality fluctuation in his breath, only demonic energy that caused the space to tremble continuously.
Xia Xiao's appearance at this time reminded Ah Zhu of the wolf demon he had seen on the Savage Grassland. The way he pounced was too similar to it, but what should he do? Covering his palm that was almost crushed by Xia Xiao, Ah Zhu was extremely anxious. Now there was no one to ask, so he asked Shangshan and the three seniors who stood up, but they were all silent, thinking that something was wrong.
"Xia Xiao, Xia Xiao, whether your fate will change from now on depends on you."
The old man who was the highest official of the Zou Shou Church sighed heavily, and then formed a seal. They had to help Xia Xiao regain his consciousness. Although it was a bit troublesome, if Xia Xiao continued to make trouble like this, he would be jumping into the fire pit and would lose even the last chance of survival.
Hu Bugui had fought with the square-faced man for a long time before, but they were all from the five major forces and would not kill him. In contrast, Xia Xiao had no sense of measure and covered the magic energy on the knife, making it full of murderous aura. If Xia Xiao hurt the man a little, he would lose his last chance.
Therefore, Hu Bugui grabbed Xia Xiao, but unexpectedly the latter committed an act of betraying his teacher and ancestors.
Xia Xiao raised the knife and was about to cut.
"don't want--"
Ah Zhu screamed loudly, and Xia Xiao's knife slowed down a bit, and finally stopped on Hu Bugui's dragon claws, without piercing the cracked scales. Xia Xiao's sleeping consciousness woke up a little bit, he heard Ah Zhu calling him, and there was a mysterious force that kept pulling him out without him being able to sense it, but his body was too heavy, and it was difficult for him to get out of the quagmire.
"Come out quickly."
The gentle voice was like a spring breeze blowing across the ice field, and Ah Zhu's voice also echoed in his ears.
"Xia Xiao, come back soon——"
Ah Zhu knew very little about the devil's way. She didn't know when it appeared, nor did she know why practitioners would fall into the devil's way. The academy had always resisted, and there was only one way to deal with people in the devil's way, that is - kill! But she was not stupid, she knew that Xia Xiao's running around now would only make the people of the Qingtian Sect more determined to kill him. Just like the old senior Pan above his head, he roared like thunder at this time.
"See? This is the academy student you protected! He has lost his mind and has become a true demon! If we don't get rid of him now, when will we? Are we waiting for him to grow stronger and kill more innocent people?"
The four-foot iron sword, revealing a thousand-foot-long sharp brilliance, was born from the sky and fell towards the earth with a bang. But before it could blast through the layers of land, a ray of jade light with a sharp aura suddenly appeared between heaven and earth, blocking the extremely terrifying sword energy and keeping it at a very long distance from Xia Xiao.
"After all this, are you still protecting Xia Xiao?"
Old man Pan's words were full of anger, but Di Muli was holding the vice-president's sword, so today's matter was destined to be complicated.
"Even if we want him to die, it has to be decided by my vice president of the academy, the pope of the church, and your leader of the Qingtian Sect. You and I have no power!"
"But look at him!"
Old Man Pan was no longer as anxious as before, because the overall situation had been decided, but his words were still very aggressive. For him, Xia Xiao's death was never the most important thing, but his current performance was very good.
The knife did not strike Hu Bugui, but Xia Xiao suddenly raised his arm, as if to surrender, or as if he was being dragged into the depths of a quagmire, stretching out his hand for help. No one grabbed his hand, so he suddenly bent it and elbowed Hu Bugui to make him loosen his grip slightly.
At that moment, he exploded the space and rushed towards the man of the Qingtian Sect like chasing the stars and the moon. He attacked like crazy, becoming an absolute madman. Even if the man was stronger than him, he would still find it difficult because of the suppression of the demonic energy on the spirit energy, but protecting himself was not a problem.
“Damn it!”
Xia Xiaoru was under some kind of curse, and kept repeating these two words, which made Old Man Pan secretly happy. This is the best portrayal of the devil, no self-suppression, no incredible walking on the edge of the right path, only madness and spontaneity. But before he could appreciate Di Muli's expression, Old Man Pan was delighted by the Buddha who came from underground, and asked Di Muli:
"I guess only the True Buddha knows the powerlessness after falling into the devil's way. It is impossible to come back. So do you think he will choose to kill or let him live?"
Di Muli was silent. When Xia Xiao was in danger, none of the people arrived in time. Now he was also possessed by the devil. All the big figures of the Gou Longbang clan gathered here. It was really annoying. However, Ning Shen Academy did not arrive in time before, so there was nothing to say.
There was a very long ridge of earth on the ground, coming from the distant barbarian grassland.
When it stopped, a fat monk came out of it, with a big belly, a fat head and big ears. He didn't have the aura of a monk who had forgotten the worldly affairs, but looked like a layman who didn't restrain his diet, which made his original grace and generosity disappear without a trace. The few people who knew him understood that his belly was not fat, but evil spirit. No matter how much he could suppress the evil spirit, he would eventually be burst by it, and everything was just a matter of time.
But this is still under the premise that he has not completely lost his mind. As for Xia Xiao, there were extremely ominous signs as soon as he entered the magic path, which made the fat monk see it and his eyes were full of regret.
The fat monk's name is Xuyun, and he has been with Xia Xiao for some time. But he had warned Xia Xiao at the beginning that he must be careful not to be dragged into the water when walking near the abyss. Unexpectedly, at this time, he has sunk into the river of magic and his ability to think has been completely drained away. Whether he can be saved now does not depend on the amount of external force, but on luck, and whether Xia Xiao can wake up, because the power of the magic is easier to change from the inside out, rather than breaking through from the outside.
Whether looking at it from the surface or from a deeper level, there is still some distance between Xia Xiao and Xuyun, but this encounter is a life-and-death situation, which Xuyun did not expect.
