Chapter 279 Happy New Year
The aftermath of the lightning and spiritual power was still raging all around, blowing up the sand and rocks on the ground into the sky.
Li Xiaoxiao and Shen Xiuneng stood side by side, breathing heavily, staring vigilantly at the gradually dispersing inky black clouds and the slowly disappearing white figure.
After everything was settled, Shen Xiuneng relaxed his body. He slowly turned around, a relieved smile on his face, and was about to speak to Li Xiaoxiao.
At this moment, Li Xiaoxiao stabbed the dagger into his heart at an extremely fast speed.
Shen Xiuneng's smile froze instantly. He widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, and his body trembled slightly due to the severe pain.
"Why...why?" He squeezed out a few words with difficulty, his voice full of pain and confusion.
Li Xiaoxiao did not answer. Her eyes were cold and she pulled out the dagger expressionlessly. Blood dripped slowly along the blade, staining the ground with a shocking red.
Shen Xiuneng fell to his knees with a thud. Li Xiaoxiao raised his foot and kicked him in the chin, sending Shen Xiuneng flying.
He fell to the ground in a mess, blood gushing out from his chest. There were a few fallen teeth in the blood foam he spat out.
Shen Xiuneng raised his hand and pointed his index finger at Li Xiaoxiao as if to accuse her of her actions.
Seeing that the opponent was not dead, Li Xiaoxiao gathered the electricity in his palm, forming a rolling blue sphere of electric current, and smashed it over.
Shen Xiuneng's pupils contracted and his body quickly moved away from the attack range.
But he was seriously injured, so how could he be a match for Li Xiaoxiao?
In the end, he died tragically at the hands of Li Xiaoxiao.
Li Xiaoxiao looked at the dead Shen Xiuneng without a single ripple in her heart.
She stood there silently for thirty-three seconds, and the dead Shen Xiuneng's face melted like a candle, revealing his true appearance.
Li Xiaoxiao took the opponent's empty ring in mid-air and then destroyed the body.
You Meng, who had been silent the whole time, stepped forward and asked, "How do you know he's not real?"
Youmeng was certain that Li Xiaoxiao knew that Shen Xiuneng was a fake, which was why she killed him. She acted when the other party thought she had been paralyzed. It must be said that she was really smart.
Li Xiaoxiao shrugged and said calmly: "Because Shen Xiuneng wouldn't look at me like that."
"What kind of look?" You Meng asked with even greater curiosity.
Li Xiaoxiao tilted her head and thought for a moment: "The look in your eyes that cares about me."
You Meng was speechless for a moment.
"move!"
"Yes!"
The two flew out one after the other not far away when Li Xiaoxiao suddenly turned around and asked, "Do you know who that white shadow was just now?"
There was such certainty in his tone that You Meng had no time to retract her dazed expression.
Li Xiaoxiao's eyes were sharp. You Meng lowered her head and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "It's Elder Baiying from the Fourth Heaven."
"Is that the one you said betrayed his master?"
You Meng's eyelids trembled slightly, and she shook her head slightly, not knowing what she was thinking about.
Li Xiaoxiao turned around and continued walking forward without further questioning.
You Meng looked up at Li Xiaoxiao's back, feeling mixed emotions: It seems that this person does not have the spirit of the Venerable. She doesn't even know about Elder Baiying. Then how can she know the black hole technique? Is it really a coincidence? Where did the real Venerable go?
When Youmeng was struggling with whether to leave and look for the real Venerable, Li Xiaoxiao's clear voice came from the front: "The spirit of the so-called Venerable has indeed been in my body."
When Youmeng heard this, she frowned. What did "been here before" mean? Did she leave again?
Then Li Xiaoxiao continued, "But he was unlucky, and was blocked by the ancient protective formation of the Lu family's ship when he was connected.
"The Venerable's soul was wiped out at that time, but his abilities remain in my body."
You Meng stood there in a daze, her eyes wide open, her body stopped moving, and she couldn't believe what she heard.
Li Xiaoxiao's words just now kept echoing in his mind. After a long time, he came back to his senses and hurriedly caught up with him and asked anxiously: "Ancient protective formation? It is said that it can even resist gods. How can it exist in the lower third heaven? Who is this Lu family?"
Li Xiaoxiao kept walking, with a mocking arc on her lips: "Can't I have the lower third heaven? As for the Lu family, I don't know either."
You Meng's doubts grew bigger and bigger, but seeing that Li Xiaoxiao didn't want to talk more, she could only suppress the doubts in her heart temporarily.
The two continued to move forward. The scenery around them became increasingly desolate. Strong winds blew sand and gravel past, making sharp sounds.
Suddenly, Li Xiaoxiao stopped abruptly and looked into the distance with vigilant eyes.
You Meng followed her gaze and saw a strange blood-red fog rising from the horizon, spreading towards them at an extremely fast speed.
"What is this?" There was a slight tremor in You Meng's voice, and her hands unconsciously tightened the magic weapon at her waist.
Li Xiaoxiao did not answer. She circulated her spiritual power throughout her body, trying to sense the danger hidden in the blood mist.
Just as the blood mist was about to cover them, Li Xiaoxiao suddenly pulled Youmeng to the side. A red lightning bolt shot out from the mist and hit the place where they had just stood. The ground was instantly scorched, leaving a deep hole.
"These people are really sticky bugs that can't be shaken off."
Li Xiaoxiao is now extremely annoyed by Zhong Changxian's words:
"However, there are countless difficulties and obstacles along the way, and all parties are eyeing these three artifacts covetously. You must be prepared."
Did he give her time to prepare? He didn't even give her time to say 'no'!
He shook his head, getting rid of this jerk from his mind and stared at the blood mist.
Eerie roars were heard from the blood mist, and countless black shadows surged in it. The next moment, a group of ghostly monsters rushed out of the blood mist. Their bodies were erratic and their speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the two men.
Li Xiaoxiao brandished a dagger and displayed sharp sword skills. Every attack could accurately repel several monsters.
You Meng was not to be outdone. The magic weapon in her hand glowed with light and she cast spells at them.
However, the number of monsters seemed endless, coming in wave after wave.
Li Xiaoxiao suddenly felt the black hole power in her body begin to become restless. This was not a good sign, but she didn't want to waste too much time on this.
With a determined heart, he mobilized all the power of the black hole and pushed it towards the group of monsters.
I saw a huge black hole slowly forming in the monster, and the powerful suction force sucked all the surrounding monsters into it.
The monsters screamed miserably and were torn into pieces by the black hole.
The blood mist also quickly dissipated under the influence of the black hole, and soon the surroundings returned to calm.
After resolving the crisis, Li Xiaoxiao looked pale.
The black holes are becoming more and more domineering now.
You Meng asked hurriedly: "How are you?"
After knowing that Li Xiaoxiao was not a Venerable, Youmeng became less respectful.
Li Xiaoxiao waved her hand: "It's okay, just take a rest."
Just then, the sound of "dong dong dong dong" bells came from the sky.
You Meng spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot, and then she quickly blocked her hearing, but the sound still made her heart ache.
Although Li Xiaoxiao did not vomit blood, his body was shaking, and it was obvious that he was under a lot of pressure.
"This is... the bell of Fanyin Temple! Why is it ringing here?" You Meng covered his chest and whispered to Li Xiaoxiao.
Li Xiaoxiao raised his head, looked in the direction where the bell sound came from, and replied to Youmeng: "Fanyin Temple? What is that place?"
You Meng continued to transmit the message: "Fanyin Temple is a holy place in the fourth heaven. The monks in the temple have profound Buddhist knowledge and are said to be able to exorcise demons and save all living beings.
"But why would this bell sound appear in the Third Heaven? It's really strange."
Li Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps this bell sound is related to our next journey. Let's go and take a look."
After saying that, the two flew towards the direction where the bell rang.
Along the way, they discovered that some strange flowers and plants began to appear on the originally barren land, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance.
As they went deeper, a magnificent temple gradually appeared before their eyes. The gate of the temple was closed and there was a layer of soft Buddhist light all around.
The doorplate clearly reads: [Fanyin Temple].
Happy New Year!
