Above all spirits

Chapter 493 Too Cooperative

The pain was gradually adapted to.

But what follows is an overwhelming sense of disorientation and humiliation.

Many clansmen were watching the battle in the trial space.

Huang Xiaoyu knew that her disheveled appearance must have been seen by countless elders of her clan. She could even imagine how some of her clansmen, who had always been at odds with her, would smirk and raise their lips, their eyes full of mockery and coldness.

With this thought in mind, Huang Xiaoyu's vision dimmed slightly.

With a slight lift of his head, the figure in black robes fluttering in the wind in mid-air was undoubtedly the posture of a victor.

Such a stark contrast caused Huang Xiaoyu's mind to race.

He suddenly bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the longsword.

The sword's runes suddenly lit up, the red light burning like flames, and the stench of blood began to boil in the air.

Her eyes were now bloodshot, and her breathing was heavy like that of a predatory beast. Her previous dejected state vanished instantly, and her energy and spirit were restored, even showing signs of rising.

The difference is that those once arrogant eyes now radiate a madness devoid of reason.

"Xiaoyu! Stop!"

A familiar voice rang in Huang Xiaoyu's ears.

But she did not respond.

Huang Li's figure flashed out from the shadows of the woods and appeared behind Huang Xiaoyu in the next moment. His brows were furrowed and his eyes were full of anxiety and heartache. Without hesitation, he placed his hand on her shoulder.

That gentle magic, imbued with a kinship resonance, surged from his palm and flowed into Huang Xiaoyu's body, like a clear spring pouring into a raging fire, forcefully suppressing Huang Xiaoyu's impending rampage.

Huang Xiaoyu is currently performing this.

This is the second racial talent of the Extreme Emperor Demon Clan, a last resort in a desperate counterattack, with extremely severe side effects. After all, it is a trump card that can leap an Extreme Emperor Demon Clan member, whether severely injured or on the verge of death, to a state beyond their peak.

Such a terrifying increase does not come out of thin air; it ignites the life essence of the Supreme Demon Clan, inevitably reducing their lifespan, and the recovery afterwards will take months or even years.

Such a price can only be paid in a life-or-death crisis, a desperate gamble.

at the moment.

Gu Yun had no intention of killing Huang Xiaoyu, nor would she have the opportunity to do so. Huang Li would never allow his sister to use such a terrifying trump card.

Fortunately.

From the moment Huang Xiaoyu was defeated, Huang Li had been paying close attention to Huang Xiaoyu's every move.

As siblings who grew up together, he knew his sister all too well.

He wouldn't be surprised if she, who was always the center of attention, did something like this.

Huang Xiaoyu's delicate body trembled.

The red light showed signs of receding.

Huang Xiaoyu was also weakening at a visible rate, her eyes dimmed, her breathing slowed, and her golden hair was faintly tinged with silver.

Finally, she collapsed into Huang Li's arms.

Huang Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Luckily we made it in time; if we had been a moment later, it would have been too late."

"I hope that through this experience, my silly little sister will understand that there are always people better than you."

"Luckily, it was Gu Yun who I faced; if it had been Xu Lingjian..."

"Even if I were to take action, I might not be able to win."

Huang Li gently picked up Huang Xiaoyu, and also glanced at Gu Yun's back, a flash of ferocity passing through his eyes.

Although Gu Yun was someone he wanted to befriend, that didn't mean Huang Li had no temper.

"They really didn't know their own strength when they attacked."

A fleeting moment.

Gu Yun turned his head slightly, seemingly noticing the sharp gaze. Possessing the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Intent, he was very sensitive to all kinds of negative emotions directed at him.

He stared thoughtfully at the crater that looked like it had been hit by a meteorite for a while. It was where Huang Xiaoyu had originally been, but now it was empty.

I didn't pay much attention.

"Follow."

Glancing at Yue, whose eyes were somewhat vacant, Gu Yun gave her a brief instruction.

"okay."

Yue finally came to her senses and cautiously followed Gu Yun as he left.

In an instant, her silver hair swayed in the wind.

His eyes couldn't hide the rising joy and admiration.

Yue held the small glass pagoda tightly in her hands, her fingertips turning slightly white from the force, and felt a sense of satisfaction she had never experienced before.

Gu Yun and Yue arrived at a relatively secluded cave entrance, one after the other.

Noticing the signs of a fight at the cave entrance, it's likely that demons fought over this easily defensible spot.

A golden light flashed in Gu Yun's eyes, instantly capturing and locking onto a powerful aura within the cave.

He slowly raised his right hand, which was holding a knife, just as he was about to clear the area.

The demon, who had been hiding in the cave, wisely scrambled out.

He kept muttering to himself.

"Big Brother!"

"Please have mercy! Please have mercy!"

"I'm leaving now!"

After two wars.

Gu Yun's reputation had already spread among them.

now.

In their minds, this man with black hair, red eyes, and a black robe had already been listed as a candidate for the championship.

That is, one of the four who should not be provoked.

Seeing this, Yue's admiration for Gu Yun increased even more. Remembering Gu Yun's previous words, she spoke first.

"Um, Gu... Yun?"

As if afraid of mistaking it, Yue looked up and confirmed the name at the top of the list again and again.

Seeing Gu Yun turn around in response, Yue was somewhat excited. Her star-like eyes blinked twice in an instant, like a fan calling out to their idol and getting a response. Her heart was filled with warmth.

She couldn't explain why, even though it was the first time she had met Gu Yun, even though Gu Yun had come to her with a purpose, and even though Gu Yun's actions were likely just to ensure that she could answer his questions.

Yue was well aware of all this, but she only acknowledged one fact.

That is, Gu Yun protected what belonged to her.

Since it was created.

Yue knew exactly what kind of being she was; she was merely a product of the rules, not a living being, and her existence would likely last only ten years, or perhaps even less.

Because she is easily replaceable, she is nothing more than a toy to the octopus beast.

She was born with nothing that belonged to her, including her life.

The small pagoda-shaped special spiritual treasure she was fighting for was the only one she had obtained on her own. Despite being less skilled than others, she had no complaints.

But if it were taken away in the same way as before, it might make Yue feel that her already dim path to the abyss had been mockingly shortened, and she might fall into it if she wasn't careful.

"Do you have any questions for me?"

As she spoke, Yue patted her chest, speaking in a tone that implied she had everything under control.

"Ask away, I'll answer everything I know!"

Gu Yun was puzzled by Yue's reaction and was clearly stunned for a moment. He couldn't understand Yue's thoughts. In Gu Yun's view, Yue was just a prisoner, so why was she so excited? Had some fetish been triggered?

Although my actions were also intended to get the menstrual cycle to cooperate.

But isn't this going too far?

Gu Yun glanced at Yue with some suspicion, but couldn't discern any source, so he asked directly.

"You...are able to use powers?"
