Outside the City of Slaughtering Gods.
The crowd cheered with joy, having witnessed Xiao Ye instantly kill the demonic creatures.
The visitors this time were truly overestimating themselves. Xiao Ye’s killing them was as easy as slicing vegetables.
Gu Feng and the others snorted, “With such meager strength, you dare trespass into our city.”
Only when they saw Xiao Xi’s figure flying out did Gu Feng and the others realize something was amiss.
“Your Highness Xiao Xi, what’s wrong?”
“It hurts, it hurts so much.”
Xiao Xi clutched her head, her face pale.
She stumbled, unable to distinguish between friend and foe.
The people around scattered, and several small rocks were shattered by Xiao Xi.
“It’s over, Your Highness Xiao Xi’s aura has become berserk again.”
Gu Feng and the others felt a lingering fear, sensing Xiao Xi’s state.
Xiao Ye, having finished off the alliance’s contingent, also noticed Xiao Xi.
Xiao Xi was stumbling, her figure constantly smashing into rocks.
Xiao Ye caught up to Xiao Xi and saw that she couldn’t stop.
“Xiao Xi.”
Xiao Ye frowned deeply, seeing Xiao Xi’s pained expression.
He wanted to stop her but feared hurting her.
Xiao Xi’s aura surged, quickly reaching the Divine Spark and surpassing it…
Terrifyingly so, enveloped in white light.
At that moment.
The sky suddenly turned dim.
A black vortex slowly opened above Xiao Xi’s head.
Xiao Xi saw a hand reaching out from the vortex.
Accompanied by the sound of thunder.
Xiao Ye’s mind echoed the system’s voice, [They’re here, they’re going to snatch her away.]
Xiao Ye was taken aback.
[System, what do you know?]
The system was also vague, [Xiao Xi’s mystery makes me suspect she might not be from Blue Star.]
Not from Blue Star?
Xiao Ye’s mind raced.
Xiao Xi’s rapid increase in strength, her incongruity with the entire Blue Star.
Although she was the sister Xiao Ye picked up, her displayed talent was monstrous.
The endless pain, like her soul’s power overwhelming her physical form.
Could it be…
Xiao Xi was a reincarnated deity?
Or perhaps, another pet chosen from above?
Or something else entirely?
In any case, Xiao Ye would not stand idly by and watch Xiao Xi be taken away by the hand in the vortex.
Xiao Ye transformed his mental power into a black sword, leaped forward, and unleashed a blinding light.
*Screech!*
The sword struck the hand in the vortex, instantly breaking and falling.
However, the vortex did not dissipate.
More hands appeared, reaching for Xiao Xi.
These hands exuded divinity, and Xiao Ye was certain they belonged to deities.
But they wouldn’t take Xiao Xi away.
Xiao Xi’s mind was blank; she heard the buzzing sound of heavenly thunder.
She couldn’t consciously see if the person in front of her was protecting her.
Xiao Ye, unable to approach or hold her hand due to Xiao Xi’s berserk state.
“Xiao Xi.”
Xiao Ye severed countless hands, seemingly enraging the vortex.
The sky flashed with thunder, carrying immense, terrifying power.
A bolt of lightning descended from the vortex, no less powerful than the Divine Spark!!
If Xiao Ye were struck, he would surely be annihilated.
His expression grew grim, and he roared in a low voice, “Do you think you are masters, able to toy with this world at will?”
Damn it.
Xiao Ye swore he would make these deities suffer a fate worse than death.
As Xiao Ye struggled to withstand the lightning and the endless stream of hands,
Gu Feng and the others noticed the abnormality and quickly rushed to Xiao Ye’s side.
Upon witnessing the terrifying, bizarre scene, they were stunned into immobility.
“My King, I’ll help you.”
An infected person, seeking to claim credit, surged forward rapidly.
Unfortunately, he was struck by the lightning, instantly becoming charred on the outside and raw on the inside.
He died a miserable death.
Xiao Ye, amidst the rolling thunder, unleashed a dark energy to evade, “Don’t come closer.”
Gu Feng and the others were blocked by Xiao Ye’s dark energy.
The infected people present were at a loss, not understanding why this was happening.
“She Tiandi Zhi, is it? What do you want to do to Xiao Xi?”
Xiao Ye’s gaze fixed on the vortex, his voice growing chilling.
As Xiao Xi’s aura intensified, the vortex multiplied from one to seven or eight.
Xiao Xi seemed to have reached a certain limit, and her figure collapsed onto the ground.
A vine-like object emerged from the vortex.
Then, the vine wrapped around Xiao Xi’s waist, seemingly ready to pull her away.
Xiao Ye swung his sword at the vine, only to find that it was made of an unknown material that couldn’t be cut.
How could he let the vortex take Xiao Xi? He grabbed the vine entwined around Xiao Xi’s body.
The vine possessed some kind of power, instantly tearing Xiao Ye’s hand, causing it to bleed profusely.
The system also understood the danger, broadcasting into Xiao Ye’s mind, [Host, let go quickly, or your life will be in danger.]
[System, if you can’t help, then don’t speak. Are you going to let me watch Xiao Xi be taken away?]
The system was anxious. More vines were appearing from the vortex, lunging towards Xiao Ye’s heart.
Xiao Xi’s body was also being bound by the vines, and Xiao Ye held her hand tightly.
Those vines wrapped around Xiao Ye’s legs, and a thicker vine specifically targeted Xiao Ye’s heart.
Xiao Ye could feel the vines possessing a spiritual nature, likely controlled by those deities.
The chill in his heart intensified, wanting to tear those deities limb from limb.
If Xiao Ye were to let go of Xiao Xi now and dodge the attacking vines,
Xiao Xi would be taken away.
If he held onto Xiao Xi, the vines could endanger his life.
In a critical moment.
A white light erupted from Xiao Ye’s body, severing the tangle of vines, and Xiao Xi fell into his arms.
Seeing the vines break, Xiao Ye instantly understood what had happened.
The system’s voice was extremely weak, [Host, quickly take Xiao Xi and leave.]
The system had mobilized its accumulated energy, instantly helping Xiao Ye sever the vines.
Although Xiao Ye and the system had a rocky relationship before, he knew the system had no ill intentions towards him.
Xiao Ye’s expression shifted slightly; he had no time to communicate with the system.
He turned and fled with Xiao Xi.
Gu Feng and the others followed behind Xiao Ye, desperately trying to retreat into the city.
However.
The vortex had not disappeared, and the deities had not given up.
After Xiao Ye and the others had walked some distance, seemingly having escaped the vortex,
Gu Feng and the others suddenly cried out, seeing vines suddenly entwine them.
“Master…”
Gu Feng and the others’ faces contorted in pain as they struggled and looked towards Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye, holding Xiao Xi, froze. He looked at the vines attacking his subordinates.
His expression was colder than anything, his tone concealing deep fury, “Are all you deities this shameless, only attacking the weak?”
“If you have the guts, come at me alone. Don’t hide behind the clouds like clowns.”
Xiao Ye’s words enraged the deities. The vines instantly released Gu Feng and the others.
The vines charged towards Xiao Ye with lethal force.
Xiao Ye’s sword constantly slashed, and he continued to dodge.
