Chapter 438 A Powerful Escape (2/2)

She had failed, even though the magical knife had been effective in harming Yan Xu.

Because she felt Yan Xu's rage as well as a shred of disconcerted, also, the Yan Xu today felt more real than the Yan Xu in the past.

However, she experienced another strange feeling that puzzled her. That is, Yan Xu's strength seemed to have grown. She could not ascertain the depth of his spirit and the twelve demons were like a moth to a flame, following the scar that Zhao Xiao Yu's knife had made on the moon and merged into the moon itself.

The remnants of the twelve great beings have finally been absorbed into Yan Xu's body, no longer separate.

This would guarantee that Yan Xu's strength would grow significantly, but he can no longer go back to his past when his existence was little and uncertain, which would have made him difficult to eliminate.

Yan Xu thought only Shen Lian could push him to this extent. When that time comes, even if Shen Lian was in a better condition than Zhao Xiao Yu, the difference would not be much. And Yan Xu will definitely be able to take a hit from the refined Shen Lian, he only needed more power to take on Shen Lian when he is at the top of the pinnacle.

However, everything has changed over time. He has become stronger, no longer vulnerable.

Yan Xu whispered to himself: ”The matters in this world, as expected, could not be fully estimated. But this was also the reason why I could not afford to be annihilated between heaven and earth.”

He lifted his head and watched Zhao Xiao Yu still flying in the sky. His eyes were cold and he said, ”So you shall die.”

He extended his hand, grabbing the void. Zhao Xiao Yu could feel an invisible force wrapping around her from all sides as he tried to crush her into dust.

She still had a rather large amount of power remaining at that moment, but she could only hold the suppressive force at bay and had no power left to retaliate. As time passed, she felt her own power waning. The time when her power completely dry out will be the time where she would disappear and no longer exists in heaven and earth.

A quiet yet beautiful sound resonated like the endless falling leaves.

In the pitch dark of a snowy night, many colorful lights lit up clearly, and the one who hung in the sky was a young, beautiful girl. She was mounted atop an unknown sparrow in the sky.

The young girl was Ruoxi, she waved her hand and let out a sea of flowers, there was a single butterfly flying. It was like a dream that kept Yan Xu trapped.

Following that, a congregation of colorful lights converged to form a five-colored light, absorbing Yan Xu into the flowers.

Zhao Xiao Yu felt the pressure relieved from her entire body. The Sparrow flapped its wings and grabbed Xiao Yu in mid-air. The wind howled and they passed mountains and rivers in a blink of an eye, finally landed on the shore of a lake.

The sparrow's speed was beyond comprehension, exceeding even imagination, Zhao Xiao Yu was secretly surprised.

Her expression was as pale as jade, but she was clear-headed and could see things clearer than after a torrential rain had washed clean the night sky She caressed her cheeks and said: ”my child, the others have grown so well, why are you growing smaller and smaller.”

The fowl squeaked uneasily with a certain dissatisfaction as if asking why have they not dismounted themselves yet.

Zhao Xiao Yu held Huang Ruo and brought her down. She looked at Hang Ruo's complexion, she seemed paler than Xiao Yu. The spell she cast to hold Yan Xu took a big toll on her.

She locked her gaze on Zhao Xiao Yu's eyes and said earnestly: ”I used the Dao meaning left by my Grand Ancestor Master, sister Xiao Yu, you must compensate me.”

Zhao Xiao Yu laughed gracefully and said: ”Not going to.”

Using her peripheral vision, she looked at the direction of the East corner. On the lake water trickled shreds of starlight. What was swallowing those starlights, were fishes - rapidly growing, with scales which seemed to glimmer with light.
