Chapter 117. Li Feng dies, Hill...
The next second, Feibiao's hand pierced through Li Feng's back from the left rear and appeared in front of his chest.
A small, seemingly delicate hand, covered in sticky crimson, was clutching a warm, still-beating heart.
Li Feng's eyes widened, and he turned around in astonishment, spitting out a mouthful of blood: "W-why?"
A hint of sadness flashed in Fei Niao's eyes, and she laughed self-deprecatingly: "Because I want to live."
If Li Feng doesn't die, she will die. Even though she is an experimental subject in Nu Enluo's hands—an artificial agent—she has accumulated a lot of energy in her body over the years.
In the blink of an eye, the heart in the bird's hand twisted and changed, directly transforming into a light blue octagonal divine core about 6 centimeters in size.
Li Feng's love spell was immediately lifted, and the love in his eyes faded instantly. The goddess filter that had been covering Fei Niao was removed, and his eyes became clear. While spitting out blood, he carefully examined the 'goddess' he had once been obsessed with.
He laughed with a hint of self-deprecation. In reality, she was just a pretty woman. He really didn't understand why he had loved her back then, to the point of losing his dignity and his mind.
Among the agents who caught up from behind were Thor's agents.
It was a tall, burly man with a fierce appearance. He had his arm around Fei Niao's slender waist and stood to the side, laughing wildly: "Li Feng, you've finally met your match. How satisfying! Today is truly satisfying."
Li Feng and his agent, who was chasing him, were locked in a fierce battle. Several energy orbs clashed, and gradually the light blue energy orb was no match for them and fell into a disadvantageous position.
Thor's agent seized the opportunity to enter the fray and, with a weapon imbued with divine power, ended Li Feng's life.
The moment Li Feng fell from the sky, a sudden gale arose, sweeping around his body as if mourning his demise.
Before he breathed his last, Li Feng wore a slightly regretful smile and thought to himself, 'O free wind, please carry the message hidden deep within the storm's vortex to her, and tell her that she must win.'
[Li Feng, the agent of the God of Gale, is being manipulated by the agent of the God of Thunder...]
Upon hearing the news, Lin Xiaoxiao, who was putting on her gear in the room, trembled, and the buttons slipped off and fell to the side. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Li Feng is dead? Why did he die so young in this life? Didn't he die in the very late stages of his previous life?
What Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know was that Li Feng's early death was partly due to her influence.
The reason Li Feng was left until the end in his previous life was because the Love Curse was not lifted and he was a neutral party.
However, in this lifetime, the spell of love on him was partially alleviated, and Lin Xiaoxiao had been secretly trying to win him over. His wavering attitude was the core reason why that group of people decided to kill him.
When the last earring that increases attack power was put on the ear, the floating island was attacked and trembled for a while before stopping.
Ina, already fully equipped, pushed open Lin Xiaoxiao's door: "Tens of thousands of divine beings surround the floating island; the protective barrier is about to break."
Lin Xiaoxiao picked up the cane that was placed to the side and asked softly, "Where's Mishu?"
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao's calm demeanor, Ina's slightly flustered emotions instantly subsided: "She's keeping watch outside."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded: "Okay, let's go."
As soon as they stepped out of the villa, they saw the sky outside the protective barrier, where divine beings dressed in various shimmering armors flew in mid-air, their eyes fixed intently on Lin Xiaoxiao, Ina, Mishu, Sotutu, and the others on the floating island.
Mishu was dressed in a full-length black armor, with a matching metal battle hat on his head. The mask covering his face was lifted, and he held a 2.6-meter conical bronze spear in his hand.
The spear has three notches with small hooks at the top. Once the spear tip pierces the enemy's body, unless it is violently pulled out, the enemy will be bled to death.
Mishu activated the energy within his body, and a pegasus composed of blood-red energy gradually condensed. Just as he was about to mount the horse and launch an attack on the enemies outside the floating island, he was stopped by Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao's voice was calm: "No rush. Let's attach energy to the protective shield first and let them attack first. There's no need to break the rules until a critical moment."
As soon as Lin Xiaoxiao said this, Ina and Mishu immediately understood what she meant.
Because of that divine artifact, these agents are spared divine punishment when they attack enemies who are also agents; however, they will receive all the divine punishment they deserve when they attack ordinary divine subjects.
Upon hearing this, the three activated their energy and attached it to the protective barrier.
The enemy, who was watching them intently from the outside, understood their actions and immediately waved to halt all of their attacks.
For a moment, the two sides were locked in a stalemate, separated by a protective barrier, neither willing to make the first move.
After waiting for half an hour, the gloomy-looking man in a long, dark green robe impatiently waved his hand, signaling for an attack.
A dense barrage of skills rained down on the protective barrier, attempting to break through it as quickly as possible.
Before long, it was time for a counterattack.
Lin Xiaoxiao took the treasure-hunting mouse that had been munching on nuts out of her pocket, placed it on Red Tail's head which was guarding Sotutu, and gently instructed, "Red Tail, take good care of them."
Redtail, who had already advanced to the legendary level, used her six tails to protect Sotutu and assured her in a deep voice, "No problem, I will take good care of them."
Lin Xiaoxiao turned to the black cat and said, "Brother Cat, are you ready?"
The black cat, Terral, sat upright on the ground, its normally round pupils turning into vertical ones, staring intently at the leader, a man dressed in black, its front paws revealing a hint of sharp claws.
The moment the barrier was opened, Lin Xiaoxiao's right hand flickered with light and made a wiping motion towards the sky.
The next second, the protective barrier dissipated, and all the chosen ones rushed towards the three people standing on the floating island.
Mishu swiftly mounted his energy horse, and before removing his mask, he glanced at Ina for a few seconds, then whispered, "Ina, if we can all safely get through this Age of Gods, could..."
"Will you marry me?" But Mishu only dared to ask this question in his heart.
Ina was enveloped in a layer of pink energy, tilted her head, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Can't you do what?"
Mishu's face flushed, and he abruptly pulled off his mask. He yanked the reins with his left hand, causing the energy horse to fall backward, its two front hooves raised high. "It's nothing. If I survive, I'll tell you."
After saying that, he drove the energy horse and charged out in a domineering manner.
He knocked dozens of Gods' Chosen Ones away, his spear skewering them like a string of candied hawthorns. Each thrust would pierce a God's Chosen One, and when it couldn't pierce through any more, he would forcefully fling it to the side, sending the God's Chosen One flying.
Seeing Mishu's movements, Ina's heart skipped a beat. Then, feeling a warmth on her face, she manipulated her energy and flew forward.
Lin Xiaoxiao stood on the ground and did not use her energy to fly out. Instead, she threw out experience coins formed from her own energy from the space and used her cane as a baseball bat.
Every time it was swung out, a large explosion would occur a few seconds later.
Then, several of the chosen ones would fall silently from mid-air.
[Lucky Goddess's Agent - Lin Xiaoxiao, defeated...]
A series of kill notifications refreshed rapidly. Mishu and Ina each engaged a god's agent, while Lin Xiaoxiao and the black cat cooperated perfectly, quickly clearing out the besieging god's chosen ones.
Red Tail split into two tails, tightly wrapping Sotutu between them and protecting him. Every now and then, it would unleash a few fireballs to repel the enemy.
The others were also trying their best to resist the enemy's attack, but compared to the tens of thousands of people on the other side, Lin Xiaoxiao's side only had a dozen or so people, and they were even more exhausted from resisting.
Mishu wasn't paying attention and failed to stop the Plague God's agent he was fighting, allowing the man to break through and fly towards Lin Xiaoxiao below.
Before the Plague God's agent's dark green claws could reach Lin Xiaoxiao, she had already swiftly erected a shield in front of her and used her cane to block the claw attack.
'kangci—' The scepter and claws collided, producing a chilling sound with sparks of fire.
With a few 'peng--' and 'kang--', her cane broke into several pieces.
Before the next attack arrived, Lin Xiaoxiao manipulated energy to fly backward, made a grasping motion with her right fist, pressed it against her left palm, golden light bloomed, and with a sudden pull, a lightsaber was pulled out from her palm.
She swung her lightsaber, and with a swift grasp of the void with her left hand, a semi-transparent energy shield materialized, blocking the Plague God's agent's claws.
With just one strike, several obvious cracks appeared in the energy shield on Lin Xiaoxiao's left hand.
The Plague God's agent was unusually excited. When he opened his mouth to speak, countless black wisps of mist flew out from it: "Hahahaha, I didn't expect you to be so weak. Your head is mine now."
Lin Xiaoxiao, expressionless, thrust her sword towards the heart of the Plague God's agent, bending down to dodge his gaunt claws, which glowed with dark green energy.
The ground around the area, where the Plague God's agents had clawed at it, was riddled with large craters, emitting white smoke and hissing sounds, as if it were being corroded by an invisible force.
Mishu and Ina wanted to return to help Lin Xiaoxiao, but they were stopped by the chosen ones and the agent of the god of drought.
'peng--' The energy shield in Lin Xiaoxiao's hand shattered.
She gripped the longsword with both hands and swung it repeatedly, accurately deflecting all the attacks.
Occasionally, they can find an opportunity to inflict a minor injury on the Plague God's agent in front of them.
But the Plague God's agent was quite surprised by Lin Xiaoxiao's decisive counterattack, and even stammered, "You, you, how can you have such exquisite swordsmanship? You are not, you deserve to die!"
What he didn't finish saying was, "Aren't you just a love-obsessed person who only knows how to date?"
Lin Xiaoxiao understood the implication in his words, sneered, and quickly swung her sword. The sword light, which was originally meant to cut his throat, was dodged by him with agility, leaving a deep wound on his collarbone.
Immediately afterwards, from the collarbone of the Plague God, reddish-purple blood gushed out, carrying a dark green mist, and fell to the ground. Like sulfuric acid, after a puff of white smoke, it dissolved and created several deep pits the size of water droplets.
The two clashed again. Although the pale golden light was faint, it was enough for it to fight the dark green light ball opposite it without being at a disadvantage.
Half an hour later, Lin Xiaoxiao seized the opportunity, swung her sword, and beheaded the agent of the plague god.
[Wen Yi, the agent of the Plague God, was killed by Lin Xiaoxiao, the agent of the Goddess of Fortune. All went to the victors.]
Then, a dark green orb of light floated in front of Lin Xiaoxiao, and she reached out and caught it in her hand:
[Congratulations on obtaining: Plague God's Agent - Wen Yi's Space]
[Congratulations on obtaining one-third of the experience points of Wen Yi, the Agent of the Plague God]
[Congratulations on obtaining: Plague God's Agent - Wen Yi's Faith Power: 4.1 billion High-level Faith Power, 9 billion Medium-level Faith Power, 12.1 billion Low-level Faith Power]
By slaying the Plague God's agent and gaining experience points, Lin Xiaoxiao's level jumped from 613 to 701.
Lin Xiaoxiao swung her lightsaber, slicing through the heart of the Plague God's agent and picking out the divine core that had been mostly corrupted.
She glanced at it, casually placed it in a basket in the corner of the space, gripped the lightsaber, flew into the air, and rushed towards the remaining chosen ones.
Such things happen in various parts of the City of Gods, and even occasionally in other countries and other secret realms.
Within the Dragon Kingdom, hundreds of passages, accessible from both ends, have appeared throughout the country.
Countless professionals from other countries emerged from within, and upon seeing the professionals from the Dragon Kingdom, they began to attack.
However, the professionals from China were not to be trifled with. After a brief moment of panic, they quickly recovered and began to attack these professionals from other countries as if they were monsters.
Outside the capital of the Dragon Kingdom, squads such as Dragon Fang, Tiger Roar, Nuclear Star, Mad Peak, and Eternal Night, along with the operations team, resisted wave after wave of attacks, holding the city gates of the capital with all their might.
Every professional is fighting and rapidly leveling up.
Jiang Dehai, Li Youran, and others quickly directed and mobilized resources from behind the scenes, and made rapid preparations for the Divine Favor Battle a few days later.
Five hours later, the god of drought escaped with a severed arm, and all the divine followers who had besieged the floating island were killed.
Lin Xiaoxiao stood expressionlessly on the ground littered with severed limbs, her hair disheveled and her body covered in wounds. With a clench of her right hand, she shattered her lightsaber into a pile of light specks, which then vanished into thin air.
She limped toward the villa; her prosthetic leg had been damaged in the fight and she needed Monet's help to repair it.
Also, Hill, who tried to leave the Elf Vault multiple times during the battle, was imprisoned by her, but she still had to deal with that.
As Lin Xiaoxiao turned around, the protective barrier of the floating island rose up again.
Back in her room, Lin Xiaoxiao used her faith to create a protective barrier, sat on the small sofa, removed her prosthetic limb and tossed it to Monet, then released Hill.
Her chest heaved rapidly, and with each breath, one less wound appeared on her body. Before long, through the holes in her business attire, one could see her restored, fair skin.
She rested her hands on the armrests, her eyes unfathomable, and her tone calm: "Hill, I want to know why?"
Hill circled Lin Xiaoxiao several times, his face full of worry: "Are you alright?"
Seeing that Hill didn't answer, Lin Xiaoxiao asked again, "Hill, why?"
Hill suddenly stopped circling and flew to Lin Xiaoxiao. Her face was no longer as enthusiastic as before; instead, it was as cold as ice. She took the initiative to tear off her previous mask of hypocrisy.
Its voice was very soft: "There's no reason why, I just think you're love-struck, there's nothing I can do to change that, it'd be better to find someone else, to save time."
"Change to someone else?" This word made Lin Xiaoxiao's heart tremble.
This nonchalant and habitual tone suggests that this isn't the first time it's done something like this.
Lin Xiaoxiao's tone was calm and composed: "So, you were involved in the previous relationships as well?"
Hill met Lin Xiaoxiao's mocking yet cold gaze with a calm tone: "A little, not much."
Lin Xiaoxiao raised her hand to cover her face and chuckled. As her shoulders shook, her laughter grew louder and louder: "Hahahaha, good, good, so that's how it is."
No wonder every mission, in both my past and present lives, has been so difficult.
She had even wondered if she was just unlucky, which was why she was always targeted or intercepted during her operations.
Unexpectedly, there was a traitor by my side who was constantly tipping me off.
She didn't lose unjustly back then. Who would have thought that such a close relationship with a contracted spirit would be someone else's spy?
After figuring things out, she wiped the smile off her face and used her golden right hand to grab Hill remotely with her energy. Her tone was cold: "Hill, there's a T contract. I can't kill you, but I can imprison you forever."
Hill's expression twisted slightly, and his tone became more urgent: "Don't you want to know who put me in charge of spying on you?"
Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled and used her faith power to create a half-meter-long energy cage, then threw Hill inside: "Not interested."
It's either Nuenro or Atums.
After all, only these two ancient gods who have lived for thousands of years could bribe a naturally born elf to act as their informant.
Clutching the energy cage, Hill Xiaoshuang looked on incredulously, somewhat lost in thought, and asked herself, "Why don't you care?"
They clearly cared a lot about the previous ones and kept asking questions.
Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled, picked up the cage, and shook it twice: "In the end, they will all come looking for me. I haven't reached the demigod level yet, so they won't touch me. They might even give me experience packs to ensure that I can reach the demigod level."
This is a rough guess she made based on events that happened in her past and present lives.
They knew her whereabouts all along, but did not take direct action.
They would only occasionally send people to hunt her down and put pressure on her. Once she started working hard to level up, the hunt would stop, and no more accidents would occur.
Therefore, she guessed that they were unable to break through the hurdle of the peak of demigods and wanted to break through this barrier by hunting down agents of true gods, which is why they kept pushing her to level up.
Nu Enluo, who was far away at the headquarters of the Creation Organization, heard these words and couldn't help but smirk slightly: "You're smarter than the previous ones, not bad. After I break through to the True God level, I will refine you into a puppet and keep you as a reward."
Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiaoxiao's lips curled up slightly, and through the listening device on Hill, she spoke to Nuenro remotely: "I accept today's Plague God's Agent, thank you for the experience."
After speaking, Lin Xiaoxiao used the power of faith to remove the eavesdropping device from Hill.
Then, in the spirit storage, a one-square-meter space was deliberately set aside, and the energy cage and Hill were thrown in together.
'ci.ci.ci……' The sound of the monitoring device being destroyed rang rapidly in Nuenro's ears.
In the darkness, he sat on a soft chair, laughing heartily: "Interesting, interesting, Ran Bai, bring the stuff up, I want to further advance this God Hunting War."
Ran Bai responded softly, and returned a few minutes later carrying a tray with three special ornaments on it. He gently placed the tray on the table next to Nu Enluo.
Each figurine is a giant in battle, one without arms, one without a left leg, and one without eyes.
Nuenro casually unleashed a burst of energy, shattering the three ornaments. The next moment, a familiar notification appeared:
[Agent of the God of Creation - Nuenro, using the divine-level combat item: Challenge Upgrade Battle *3]
[As per Nuenro's request, the restrictions are relaxed: all chosen ones join the battlefield together, and the battle is upgraded to a free-for-all of chosen ones. The battle officially ends when only 5% of the chosen ones (including agents, wish-granters, followers, and attendants) remain alive.]
After this prompt, Artums unusually lost his composure.
His handsome face was grim as he smashed the wine glass in his hand, activated the communication module, and gritted his teeth, raising his voice to ask, "Nuenro, are you insane? Are you only satisfied when you've destroyed the entire City of Gods?"
Within the capital city favored by the gods, the majority are those favored by the gods.
To end the Age of Gods, we must reduce the total number of all Gods’ Chosen to only 5%. What use is an empty shell of a God’s Chosen?
Nuenro's nonchalant voice came from the module: "Atumus, I have no patience to wait any longer. She is the only golden energy agent in three thousand years, and she is my opportunity."
"I won't allow anyone to sabotage this, you know what I mean."
After he finished speaking, the call was disconnected.
Artums sat there for a few minutes, his face cold, before kicking the desk in front of him away.
The desk crashed through the wall and fell into the garden below, turning into a pile of broken wood that crushed many flowers and plants.
The entire City of Divine Favor was thrown into chaos by the sudden appearance of the notification sound.
Then, the quick-witted chosen ones began to turn on those around them, and their rapidly rising levels became the beginning of chaos.
Standing atop a high-rise building in the City of Faith, Lauevin looked through the glass window at the professionals still fighting amongst themselves below, and the streets stained red with blood. His voice was calm: "It's starting to get chaotic."
Lin Xiaoxiao waited for a long time before replying, "Okay, after you've made the arrangements, prepare to lead everyone to a safe evacuation."
If this absurd war is to be ended sooner, the item has a hidden clause: the users of the item—Nuenro and Atums—must be eliminated.
But her current level isn't high enough to take them down. Let's wait a bit longer; it'll be soon.
Looking at the chaotic battle below, Lloyd Evan finally replied after a long while, "Okay."
Just as the two were chatting, deep within a certain SSS-level secret realm filled with raging winds.
A peculiar gust of wind, carrying a pale blue orb of light, emerged from the depths of the storm's eye and vanished into space, heading towards its original destination.
