Chapter 400

The scene turned back.

At the place where She Si met the Heavenly Dao of Life, both sides had already finished their talk.

She Si said with a smile: "Then it's settled—I'll send you the message, you give me the Supreme Power, and anything else is none of my business."

After saying that, She Si turned to look at Anna: "Anna, let's go."

At that moment the Heavenly Dao of Life said: "She Si, wait a moment—are you oversimplifying things?"

She Si stopped, turned to look at the Heavenly Dao of Life, his face sinking: "What do you mean?"

The Heavenly Dao of Life chuckled coldly: "I've already told you most of our plan. If you go back and sell us out, then our efforts will be for nothing."

"I've already prepared myself to be hunted by the entire Heaven-defiers Alliance—what more do you want?"

The Heavenly Dao of Life stepped in front of them: "Simple—just give us a Letter of Allegiance."

She Si frowned: "Letter of Allegiance?"

"Yes, a Letter of Allegiance." The Heavenly Dao of Life's voice carried a smile, and his gaze unintentionally fell on Anna.

Anna and She Si both understood the Heavenly Dao of Life's meaning; Anna's body tensed instantly, because the Heavenly Dao of Life blocked her path forward while She Si stood right behind her, leaving her no way to escape.

She Si fell silent, saying nothing.

The Heavenly Dao of Life said: "She Si, if you hand over this Letter of Allegiance, I can increase the Supreme Power I give you by thirty percent."

She Si lifted his head to look at the Heavenly Dao of Life, his voice low: "Heavenly Dao of Life, you don't know she's my sister, do you?"

The Heavenly Dao of Life spoke, voice teasing: "Someone like you still cares about that?"

She Si fell silent for a moment, then stepped left to completely cut off Anna's retreat: "Heavenly Dao of Life, you've misunderstood—I mean Anna is my sworn sibling, my beloved kin."

"We need more money."

She Si never had much feeling for Jeffrey and Anna; being together was just a matter of huddling for warmth.

Avenging his older brother? Just an excuse—She Si had always been dissatisfied with the Heaven-defiers, and over the years he hadn't accumulated much Supreme Power.

Moreover, after Jeffrey's death, he received no compensation from the Heaven-defiers Alliance, while Shen Qing, who killed him, got compensation—this made him resentful.

And now there is an opportunity to exchange Anna for supreme power, so he is of course willing.

Anna had no hesitation, she directly blasted a palm strike at She Si; it was originally a one-versus-two situation, and Anna was the weakest of the three, so naturally she had to strike first.

She Si raised his hand and dispersed the palm seal; in the blink of an eye Anna had already run an extremely far distance, but the speed of Life Heavenly Dao was one step faster than hers, directly intercepting in front of Anna.

Countless tree-wood giant dragons surged out of the void, completely blocking Anna's retreat.

The voice of Life Heavenly Dao was icy cold.

"She Si, do it yourself."

She Si walked toward Anna at a leisurely pace: "Anna, just don't resist; your second older brother, I won't forget you."

Anna glanced at She Si, then at Life Heavenly Dao, and directly used supreme power to envelop herself in a ball; Anna knew her own strength, anyway she was no match for the two of them.

Rather than waste strength on resistance, it's better to go all-out on defense.

Anyway, Shen Qing had already sent her the information; Shen Qing is already on his way here, this place is not far from the Defiers' Alliance base, it won't take long to get there, and moreover Shen Qing's speed is much greater than Anna's.

If she goes all-out on defense, she might be able to hold out until Shen Qing arrives.

Life Heavenly Dao looked at Anna, who was like a turtle, and chuckled: "Interesting, you don't even resist?"

"Do you really think you can survive like this?"

But Anna didn't want to speak; seeing this, She Si didn't hesitate, directly channeling his attack onto Anna's barrier.

Anna merely silently channeled energy to resist; fortunately, Anna's supreme power is also life force.

Time passed second by second; looking at the life force on the barrier becoming thin, while Shen Qing still hadn't appeared, Anna also grew somewhat anxious.

Finally, with a bang.

Anna's life-force barrier shattered; the remaining life force was insufficient to form a new barrier, Anna was blown backward, flying out and falling onto a piece of land in the darkness.

Blood trickled from the corner of Anna's mouth; she struggled to push herself up from the ground, while She Si landed in front of her.

"Anna, to be honest, it's impossible that there's been no affection over all these years."

"But, one cannot not think of one's own future; I think you'll understand me, Anna."

She Si raised the slender sword in his hand, placing it against Anna's neck; the sharp blade had already drawn blood from her neck.

"Rest assured, your second older brother will give you a quick death."

"Oh right, second older brother, I still have a question: you're not putting up any defense at all—are you waiting for someone to come rescue you?"

But just then, a milky-white karma thread appeared beside Anna.

Immediately after, this karma thread expanded at an uncanny speed, rapidly forming a human shape; the speed was so great that even She Si didn't have time to react, while Shen Qing had already stood beside Anna and lifted his foot to kick She Si.

She Si's eyes filled with alarm as he thrust his sword toward Shen Qing, but his speed was nowhere near enough; Shen Qing's karma-domain teleportation speed was already fast, and with the added 'Instant Eternity,' his speed was at least one level above She Si's.

Bang!

She Si was directly kicked, flying backward and tumbling continuously in the dark void.

Shen Qing's voice then rang out, teasing: "Anna, you should have been waiting for me; what are you hemming and hawing about?"

Only then did Anna react, lifting her head to look at Shen Qing; at this moment, the sense of safety from seeing Shen Qing was indescribable, and her eyes looking at him seemed to glow.

Shen Qing glanced at Anna: "Good thing I made it in time; you're all right, right?"

Before Anna could even speak, a stream of life force poured into her body, quickly repairing her; Anna let out a sound unfit for the table.

"Ah~"

Anna's face instantly turned red.

At that moment, Life Heavenly Dao's roar also rang out: "Shen Qing!!!"

Shen Qing turned his head, smiling at Life Heavenly Dao: "Yo! Isn't that Life Heavenly Dao? Long time no see; you've revived pretty quickly."

Life Heavenly Dao was furious to the extreme: "You actually dare to appear before me; you really deserve to die!!!"

Having operated in the elf world for countless years, plundering innumerable life forces, but Shen Qing only came for half a day and snatched all the life force away, dismantling all the preparations made, and even he himself was knocked back to the spring.

This is equivalent to marrying a wife: the Life Heaven Dao scrimped and saved a bit of money, built a house, found a matchmaker, paid the betrothal gifts, held a wedding banquet, and after everything was busy done, the bride also needed to enter the bridal chamber.

Alright, at this point the Life Heaven Dao has nothing to do with it; he, Shen Qing, has become the groom!

Who wouldn't be blown away? When the Life Heaven Dao revived, it almost died again from running out of breath.
