Chapter 3414: Combination

Two days are enough to decide many things, let alone a week.

The reason Su Xiao proposed attacking the human side after a week was to prevent the enemy from figuring out his intentions. Even revealing the concept of a two-day timeframe could potentially alert the Demi-humans.

Since the development of the Sun Fortress, Su Xiao had never attacked the Demi-human side. The two large-scale battles with the Demi-humans were both initiated by them sending troops to the Borderlands to fight.

The reason Su Xiao had not actively attacked the Demi-humans was both to paralyze them—so they wouldn't develop an overly intense sense of crisis—and to guard against them bringing out their true life-or-death trump cards.

Su Xiao understood one principle: for a major power like the Demi-humans, their most formidable trump card is surely not meant for offense, but for self-preservation.

It is like in the natural world, where many believe the toughest natural fiber is spider silk. In reality, that is not the case; the toughest natural fiber is what an insect pupa spits out to protect itself. This is a biological instinct—the priority of self-protection is higher than that of hunting.

This is also why Su Xiao had never touched the Demi-humans' bottom line and why he signed the Borderland Treaty. The Demi-humans have been the hegemonic power in this world for many years; the depth of the foundation they have accumulated over such a long time is completely imaginable.

To deal with such a behemoth, it is impossible to surpass them in resources, scale of power, or weapon advancement. The only wise choice is to use overwhelming force to stun the Demi-humans in a short time, or even force them to their knees begging for mercy. One must never engage in a war of attrition with this hegemonic power.

Su Xiao looked at the communicator on the tea table. There was a matter that was time to resolve. He had been managing this world progress for a long time; before starting the war with the Demi-humans, it was the best choice to retrieve the harvest from that side. Moreover, outsiders were already eyeing this harvest.

Su Xiao picked up the communicator and dialed a frequency. It wasn't answered on the other end. After more than ten minutes, they called back, and the first thing they said was:

"He Kendiwei no longer trusts me. The only reason he didn't choose to eliminate me is because of the Tribunal, and because you and the Demi-humans are temporarily in peace talks."

Li Xiniwei's voice came through the communicator. One could tell his voice was filled with exhaustion. The reason he could persist until now was not only because his own talents had been stimulated to the maximum, but also because a sense of will was supporting him. He was making up for past mistakes; even if it was too late, he had to try.

"We can begin."

Su Xiao spoke. A good show was about to unfold. If it were before, he couldn't be present in person, but now it was different. With a flying Dragon Rider, he could be there in person to avoid any accidents at the final moment that would result in his previous arrangements becoming someone else's wedding dress.

"Bai Ye, this time... can I trust you? Will I be used again? I have done many things for you. Just this once, keep the prior agreement."

Li Xiniwei's tone was calm but revealed determination, as if he had already decided on certain things.

"Oh."

"I will block the several factions on the human side. Those people have become interested in the Devourer. I will block them."

After Li Xiniwei said this through the communicator, he let out a long sigh.

"You can't block them."

"I can!"

Li Xiniwei's voice was exceptionally firm.

"Very well, I'll wait to watch your performance."

After saying this, Su Xiao hung up the communicator. The moment of the final battle for the Devourer was approaching.

Whether the concept of the Third-Generation Devourer, the "God-Stick," would succeed depended on this final battle between the Second-Generation and Third-Generation Devourers.

Currently, there is a truce with the Demi-humans, and with Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang remaining in the fortress, the probability of enemies infiltrating is very low.

"Woof!"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, squatting on the carpet, barked. That pitiful little look seemed to say that he also wanted to go see the final battle.

Su Xiao walked out of the command room, with Baha and Beni following behind. This made Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who also wanted to go, extremely envious.

Arriving at the first floor of the fortress, a super-sized metal cage was located in a corner. The Storm Winged Dragon was locked inside. Its appearance hadn't changed much, but its two vertical pupils had turned dark gold.

"Roar!"

The Storm Winged Dragon roared at Su Xiao. All the black-blue feathers on its body stood up. Seeing this, Su Xiao crooked his finger at a Sun Maiden guarding nearby.

This Sun Maiden stepped forward, first bowing to Su Xiao, then making the "Praise the Sun" gesture toward the Storm Winged Dragon. The next second, a miracle happened: the Storm Winged Dragon raised its dragon wings and also made the "Praise the Sun" gesture.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiao felt quite satisfied. Although the Storm Winged Dragon still had some unextinguished resistance, the Sun Power within its body had reached 16,500/16,500 points.

To possess such an amount of Sun Power in such a short time without having its mind purified by the Sun Faith meant that the Storm Winged Dragon had also begun to praise the sun in secret; otherwise, it would have long since become a retarded winged dragon.

Su Xiao had the Sun Maiden open the metal cage. As soon as the cage opened, the Storm Winged Dragon lunged at Su Xiao, gathering Sun Flame in its mouth.

After accepting the Sun Power from the Evolution Nest, although the Storm Winged Dragon's appearance didn't change much, the changes in its abilities were earth-shattering.

Why would this be? This involves what the Sun Power of the Evolution Nest uses as a catalyst.

Su Xiao used the soul blood of a Sun Warrior to activate the Sun characteristics of the Evolution Nest, but that only counted as enlightenment. What truly made the Sun Power within the Evolution Nest grow was the 【Sun Bird Source Blood】.

Although the Storm Winged Dragon is called a dragon, it has feathers and a beak, much like a combination of the dragon race and large birds. This resulted in a very high compatibility with the 【Sun Bird Source Blood】, even allowing it to master Sun Flame.

The Storm Winged Dragon lunged to the front of Su Xiao. The Sun Flame in its mouth condensed into dark gold, making a move to spray it.

Su Xiao spread out his right palm, and the Sun Ring floated above his palm. The lunging Storm Winged Dragon immediately braked hard.

The Storm Winged Dragon not only stopped, but it also gulped and swallowed the Sun Flame back into its belly, letting it turn back into Sun Power. Its head slammed into the ground with a bang. There was too much Sun Power in its body; this was Sun Power transformed by the Evolution Nest. On such a foundation, if there is extremely strong resistance, this is the outcome.

Su Xiao closed his palm. The Storm Winged Dragon's gaze immediately became ferocious, and it made a move to continue lunging, but Su Xiao had already spread his palm.

A golden ring of light appeared around the Storm Winged Dragon's pupils, and its head slammed into the ground again with a bang, entering a state of fanaticism.

Every ten seconds or so, Su Xiao would clench his right hand. Each time, the Storm Winged Dragon intended to rise up and resist, but once it faced the Sun Ring, it immediately entered a state of fanaticism.

One could hear it from a great distance—the sound of a head hitting the ground every ten seconds. Initially, the Storm Winged Dragon was extremely angry when sober, but after half an hour, this anger was replaced by helplessness.

An hour later, the Storm Winged Dragon lay on its side on the ground, motionless. That numb gaze seemed to say: "You can do whatever you want, but this dragon will not submit."

Su Xiao took the last remaining blood collection bottle of 【Sun Bird Source Blood】 from his storage space. As soon as he took out this source blood, the Storm Winged Dragon suddenly stood up, its pair of vertical pupils staring at the blood collection bottle in Su Xiao's hand.

"Cooperate for one month, and it belongs to you."

Su Xiao did not say anything like "submit to me." All intelligent creatures want dignity and face, and the stronger they are, the more this is true. But if it is called cooperation, even if it is acting as a mount, with this step to step down from, most negotiating parties would be willing to follow the step down.

The current situation is that if the Storm Winged Dragon is unwilling to be a mount, Su Xiao has no better way. He cannot completely deprive the Storm Winged Dragon of its judgment; that is too dangerous. He is not skilled in flying, so naturally, there is no talk of controlling the Storm Winged Dragon's flight.

If the Storm Winged Dragon refuses to become a mount, Su Xiao's dinner tonight will undoubtedly be it. As a "Friend of the Dragon Race," Su Xiao's intimacy with the dragon race, if conditions permit, must be something that cannot be missed at every meal. Whether it is stewed, roasted, or braised, it is quite good.

Speaking of dragon mounts, Su Xiao couldn't help but think of the White Dragon Lady. Before going to the Ancient Dragon Kingdom of Ebers, Su Xiao thought he could get a dragon mount and become a Dragon Knight. When he arrived, he found that although the White Dragon Lady could be ridden, she couldn't fly.

The Storm Winged Dragon seemed to feel that if it refused Su Xiao's invitation to cooperate, it would become the main course on the dinner table tonight. Plus, the temptation of the 【Sun Bird Source Blood】 was too great for it.

The Storm Winged Dragon did not give a clear answer, defaulting to the one-month time limit for cooperation with Su Xiao, as well as the 【Sun Bird Source Blood】 obtained afterward.

Su Xiao prepared to give the last remaining portion of 【Sun Bird Source Blood】 to the Storm Winged Dragon? Of course not. This thing is very rare, and it was agreed to pay after one month. Let alone one month, in at most a few days, Su Xiao would leave this world and return to the Reincarnation Paradise.

If the Storm Winged Dragon could go to the Reincarnation Paradise to demand it, Su Xiao would definitely not renege on the debt. If it couldn't, then there was no way.

"Since we are cooperating, we should sign a contract."

"Roar."

"Very good."

Su Xiao drafted a contract. The Storm Winged Dragon on the opposite side scrutinized it for a long time and even scratched its chin with its dragon claw. Feeling there was no problem, it signed its big name: "Bartholomew."

After the contract was signed, Su Xiao leaped onto the back of the Storm Winged Dragon. Compared to the previous Black Dragon Midis and the Demon Flame Dragon Barbatos, the riding experience of the Storm Winged Dragon had a qualitative leap. The reason is that this Storm Dragon has feathers and belongs to a soft seat, unlike Midis and Barbatos, whose dragon skin was so hard that a sword strike could spark.

Especially the Black Dragon Midis, which had thorns on its back, forcing Su Xiao to stand the whole time. If the Storm Winged Dragon is a soft seat and the Demon Flame Dragon Barbatos is a hard seat, then the Black Dragon Midis is a thorn seat.

"Meow!"

Beni performed a flying squirrel-like pounce, splaying its four claws and lying on Su Xiao's head. Once, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang saw Beni do this and tried it once. The result was that Su Xiao held a custom-made large slipper and blocked Xiang Bubu near the distillation equipment for a long time, and Xiang Bubu wouldn't come out no matter what.

Baha flew onto the dragon's back, grabbed a few feathers, and signaled that they could set off. The Storm Winged Dragon flapped its wings, and after flying low out of the main gate of the fortress, its speed skyrocketed.

Bang!

A sonic boom broke out. Such high-speed flight caused Beni, who was originally crawling on Su Xiao's head, to be thrown off on the spot. It could only use its meow-claws to hook onto Su Xiao's back collar, making it look like a fluffy little rag fluttering in the wind.

"Woo meow meow!!"

Beni's miserable meow pierced the sky, tears streaming wildly.

Night, a crescent moon in the sky.

Beside a bonfire, Dorothy used a wooden stick to turn the fire, digging out a few roasted sweet potatoes from inside.

"I'll go in a while, you old guy are so annoying."

"I know, I will definitely go there. Didn't I tell you? I have to avenge my mother first."

"I am adapting, but thinking about speaking in my brain and not saying it directly feels too strange. But then again, what exactly are you? Why are you willing to help me?"

Dorothy, peeling the roasted sweet potato, talked to herself. The strange thing was that she wasn't wearing any communication equipment. The only thing different from before was that on the index finger of her right hand, which was wearing a black soft cloth glove, there was an extra black ring. The center line of this ring had a circle of blue the thickness of a hair.

"Hmm, thank you for your suggestion, but why should I remove the Devourer in my body? It gave me power. As for who gave it to me, that's a secret."

Dorothy continued to say something to that invisible person. Just then, the sound of breaking air came from above, accompanied by a dragon roar.

Dorothy sat up from the ground. While getting up, she grasped a long sword nearly 1.5 meters long. This was not a weapon she used herself; it was prepared for the "Dark Demon Blood Shadow."

The "Dark Demon Blood Shadow" appeared behind Dorothy. Under her eyes full of vigilance, the Storm Winged Dragon landed, and Su Xiao jumped off the dragon's back.

"Eh?"

Dorothy was full of surprise. She asked, "Lord Bai Ye, why are you here?"

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. He was just about to grab Dorothy's back collar and throw her onto the dragon's back when suddenly, he sensed a faint aura appearing on Dorothy's hand.

This aura was extremely weak, and it was impossible for others to sense it, but Su Xiao sensed it. It wasn't because he was a melee-type close-range sensor, but for another reason.

Su Xiao grabbed Dorothy's right wrist and plucked a black ring from her index finger.

The moment Su Xiao touched the ring, a look of astonishment appeared on his face, and an old voice appeared in his mind.

"This old man is..."

An old voice like one from ancient times appeared. This voice suddenly interrupted halfway through, replaced by three other voices speaking in turn.

"Wrong, this... aura, it's that little brat!"

"Hmm? Who is it?"

"This aura is of the same origin as us two, but it's not a remnant soul..."

"Don't contact that side directly. That dark ring is very far from us. If we talk to that side directly, the energy will be exhausted."

"It's already almost exhausted. Forget it, there's no hope there. It's a collision. So this kid was in that world."

The voice in Su Xiao's mind disappeared. He looked at the black ring in his hand, and the corner of his eye twitched.

Su Xiao never expected that he would actually encounter the Black-Hearted Old Grandpa in this world.

That's right, this black ring was the Black-Hearted Old Grandpa. There were three creators, and those three collaborated to do this thing.

Among those three, the one Su Xiao was most familiar with was Marvin Waltz, followed by the black-fog figure of the Star Seat. Every time the Star Seat convened, it was hosted by that person.

The last person was the Old Law-Breaker. Su Xiao's Black Maple Tree was planted after he chipped off a large piece of bark from that person's special Black Maple Tree.

Regarding that Old Law-Breaker, what left the deepest impression on Su Xiao was that the person had devoured his own Blade Demon energy, rather than sealing this energy in the blade like Su Xiao did, forming the Blade Demon Spirit.

Facts proved that whether a person is unscrupulous has nothing to do with their age, experience, or strength. Any one of those three unscrupulous old guys had been famous in the Void.

Compared to the Old Law-Breaker and the black-fog figure, Marvin Waltz looked relatively younger, but the most wicked one was this guide of Su Xiao on the Path of Law-Breaking.

His guidance was always leading into pits. In his own words, young people must be tempered.

Other people's guides or mentors, before passing on a certain ability, would repeatedly warn how dangerous this ability is, what reactions there will be during inheritance, and that the body will suffer severe pain, etc.

But when it came to Marvin Waltz, it became: "It's fine, this ability is particularly easy to inherit. Close your eyes, and it will be over in a while."

When Su Xiao inherited the Green Shadow King, Marvin Waltz said exactly that. Su Xiao did indeed close his eyes, but he almost died.

When they met next time and asked about this, Marvin Waltz would have a look of sudden realization, sighing and saying that his master taught him that way back then; this is called tempering.

Su Xiao suspected that this was the "fine tradition" of Law-Breakers—one generation pits the next. In short, as long as you don't die, there will be no warnings. It was just short of saying, relax your mind and drink more hot water.

Su Xiao sensed the ring in his hand for a moment. It might be that those three old guys were reluctant to consume rare energy to continue contacting, or it might be that this ring had already completed the mission of the Black-Hearted Old Grandpa. Encountering Dorothy was just to make some extra money on the side. At this time, this thing was already scrapped.

Throwing it into the bonfire, Su Xiao grabbed Dorothy's back collar and threw her onto the dragon's back.

"No! That's my lucky ring, Lord Bai Ye. I have become the Chosen One, just yesterday!"

Dorothy looked at the ring in the bonfire with eyes full of heartache.

"..."

Su Xiao ignored Dorothy and jumped onto the dragon's back.

"No~, my lucky ring!"

Amidst Dorothy's wailing, the Storm Winged Dragon flew into the high sky. Dorothy's potential was very high, but her head always seemed not very smart.

The Storm Winged Dragon's flight gradually stabilized. Sitting on the dragon's back, Dorothy, with her hands hugging her knees, pouted, muttering something in her mouth.

After inquiring, Su Xiao learned what was going on. Because Dorothy's strength was not strong enough, Li Xiniwei used a provocation method to trick her into an underground base of the Alliance, using a type of extraction potion to help her improve her strength.

One day, when Dorothy was wandering in the underground base, she saw a man soaked in a glass column. The ring the man was wearing suddenly disappeared and appeared in her hand. From then on, Dorothy's "adventures" began, and she gained a lot of extraordinary knowledge.

Come to think of it, those three unscrupulous old guys would never trick people with substantial benefits, but would provide extraordinary knowledge. With their level, just taking out a little bit was enough to benefit Dorothy, a novice in the extraordinary, infinitely.

A long time ago, Su Xiao knew that those three unscrupulous old guys disguised themselves as the Black-Hearted Old Grandpa. What he didn't expect was that he would actually run into it this time.

"Tch, so it was fake. I said so, how could there be such a good thing as pie falling from the sky."

Dorothy held a large lunch box in one hand and a spoon in the other, eating until there were rice grains on the tip of her nose. This was the backup meal Su Xiao carried in his storage space.

"Ah~, my lucky ring, my luck power! Who was howling that just now."

Baha looked at Dorothy with a smile that wasn't a smile. It was particularly skilled at rubbing salt into people's wounds.

"I... didn't~"

Dorothy blushed rarely. Remembering the words she just shouted, she felt inexplicably ashamed at this moment.

This wasn't the most fatal part. When Baha took out a recording pen with a wicked smile, and Dorothy's shouting came from inside, Dorothy almost died socially.

"But, Mr. Bai Ye, what is the matter with you finding me this time?"

Dorothy showed a serious look.

"Take you to find the person who killed your mother."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Dorothy's pupils shrank slightly. She grabbed the sheathed long sword beside her with one hand.

"When?"

"Tomorrow morning."

After saying this, Su Xiao lay on the feathers of the dragon's back and fell asleep in a while.

When the sky brightened, the Storm Winged Dragon had already flown into human territory, heading straight for a large canyon.

The sound of the wind whistled past Su Xiao's ears, and the scene below quickly zoomed in. On the lush hillside, there was a temple.

This temple had a sense of age. The steps in front of the gate extended to the foot of the mountain. Judging from the moss on the steps, no one had been here for some years.

The front side of the temple was a gate pavilion and courtyard walls on both sides. After passing the gate pavilion, there was a spacious courtyard, estimated to be several hundred square meters.

Except for the gate pavilion of the main entrance, the other three directions of the courtyard were three tall houses, enclosing the courtyard. The windows and doors of these houses were all wooden. Because of the age, there was no glass on the doors and windows, only cross-grid wooden strips.

The large house on the inner side had a human-shaped tiled roof with blue-gray tiles.

In the spacious courtyard, the ground was covered with tender green moss, appearing slippery. These all looked normal, but on the wooden walls, doors, and windows of the inner large house, white talisman papers were pasted. On the talisman papers were tadpole-like suppression patterns. Carefully woven thin hemp ropes were wrapped around the window grids, tied with small white paper flowers.

Located in front of the main gate of this temple stood a sign, on which was written:

"Underground natural gas leak, poisonous and explosive. Do not enter this area. Please go down the mountain the way you came."

This is the famous "Tuo Bo Temple" in human territory. Different cultures have different buildings and beliefs. "Tuo Bo Temple" is not a place of belief; it suppresses many ghosts here.

In high-level native worlds, ghosts are not rare. Sometimes when the deceased are too unwilling, their souls will combine with extraordinary energy. After the negative emotions themselves absorb filthy and dark energy, ghosts naturally form.

It can be said that worlds with extraordinary power basically have ghosts, just a matter of more or less.

Sensing that living beings had arrived in the sky, all the suppression talismans on the large house of "Tuo Bo Temple" faded, becoming gray-white. At least a hundred strands of resentment spread out from the cracks in the doors and windows, turning into black smoke.

The shrill crying of a woman came from the pitch-black large house. Pale arms stretched out from the window grids, at least several hundred of them, looking dense and making people feel fear from the heart.

A subtle sound of breaking wind came, and Su Xiao fell from the sky, standing steadily on the tiled roof of the large house. In just an instant, the black energy and pale arms spreading out from the large house all shrank back. Not only that, all the suppression talismans returned to their original state, sealing the doors and windows tightly. Everything was calm, and even the air became a bit fresher.

"Borrowing your residence for a while."

Su Xiao took out a cloth bag, about the size of a pomegranate. After opening it, he poured out the black beans inside.

The black beans fell on the tiles, and pale arms stretched out from the tiled roof, scrambling to grab the yellow bean-like black beans. This was obtained by Su Xiao in the Demon Sea World. It had no other use, but ghosts liked it quite a bit.

After pouring out half a bag, Su Xiao tied the bag tightly and sat on the tiled roof. The ghosts in the large house below stabilized a bit, no longer preparing to run away. Pale, faceless faces were pasted inside the windows, all wanting to see what was going to happen outside. The ghosts were watching in fear.

Baha carried Beni and flew to Su Xiao's side. Beni jumped to Su Xiao's side, while Dorothy landed in the courtyard.

The Storm Winged Dragon landed on the roof behind Su Xiao. It didn't care much about the ghosts in the house below; a mouthful of Sun Flame could burn them all away.

At this time, the sky was just brightening. Sitting on the roof of the large house, Su Xiao saw three people walking up the mountain along the steps from afar.

The leader was Di Zong, leaning on a cane. Beside him was a man with a very evil charm. This person was Di Zong's direct son, Xin Yuge.

The last person was not the imagined Xin Alice, the woman who killed Dorothy's target, but a black-eyed girl. Her eyes were very special, the bottom of the eyes was black, the outside of the pupils was white, and the center of the pupils was also black.

The black-eyed girl was the same age as Dorothy. She hopped up the mountain. Looking at her appearance, this was a girl who liked to court death.

It was very strange that Di Zong didn't bring Xin Alice to end this matter. Xin Alice was Li Xiniwei's old lover and the culprit who killed Dorothy's mother.

The gate of the temple gate pavilion was pushed open. As Di Zong walked into the courtyard, the ghosts in the large house almost wailed. Su Xiao's arrival made them tremble, and now the old man Di Zong, who was like an evil ghost, also came. The psychological shadow area of these monsters was very large.

Di Zong and the black-eyed girl leaped onto the tiled roof of the gate pavilion. The black-eyed girl among them even waved at Su Xiao, and then she looked at Dorothy.

"Is this my opponent? Grandpa, she doesn't look like much."

"Are you her opponent now?"

"No, she can beat me at least 10 times."

The black-eyed girl said righteously, and even put one hand on her waist.

The current situation, if viewed from the sky, was first Di Zong and the black-eyed girl standing on the outer gate pavilion, Xin Yuge and Dorothy confronting each other in the courtyard, one on the inside and one on the outside. On the large house further inside were Su Xiao, Baha, Beni, and the Storm Winged Dragon.

Today was not a battle between Su Xiao and Di Zong, but a confrontation of Devourers and the end of a grudge.

"Long time no see, Dorothy."

The evil-charming Xin Yuge reached into his hair with one hand and pulled apart the tied ponytail. His appearance quickly turned feminine.

There was indeed a person named Xin Yuge, but this old brother was a martial arts fanatic, and he had never participated in this matter.

In fact, many things are easy to see through if you think about them carefully. Choosing Dorothy as the host of the Devourer had a certain coincidence, but more importantly, Feihong had resonance with Dorothy.

Why would this be? The First-Generation Devourer, Black A, was almost about to coexist with the genuine Son of the World. The original Aqi was only one step away from becoming the genuine Son of the World.

As the next-generation individual of the First-Generation Devourer, Feihong had a strong sensing ability for luck power, fortune, etc. Dorothy was not the Son of the World, but she had a lot of causality on her.

Choosing Dorothy back then, besides wanting to control Li Xiniwei, there was another important reason: the fortune and causality on Dorothy.

Su Xiao didn't understand at the time. Li Xiniwei had nothing special. Why could his daughter Dorothy attract Feihong? The originally planned forced implantation actually turned into Feihong's active implantation.

When implanting Feihong, Su Xiao was present. Although the completely naked Dorothy was ashamed to the point of almost dying, she endured it, but she refused to take off her gloves.

This made people very suspicious. In a certain "coincidence," Dorothy's gloves were torn, and Su Xiao saw her black nails.

The other party's black nails were not a disease. That kind of black was like obsidian. After Su Xiao asked the slave trader Azba about such distinct features, he learned that the nails of the Xin clan were black, which was the biggest feature of their clan.

This made Su Xiao even more suspicious. How could a mixed-race Demi-human girl wandering in the Free City be a member of the Xin clan? How did Li Xiniwei get involved with a female member of the Xin clan?

Su Xiao didn't know this at the time, but it didn't matter. Since Feihong had already parasitized Dorothy, he simply sent the Devourer Dark Sun to the Xin clan to see what their reaction would be.

To be safe and get feedback, Su Xiao also entrusted Di Zong to assassinate his own direct son, Xin Yuge, through the slave trader Azba.

Sure enough, after that, Di Zong, the patriarch of the Xin clan, found Su Xiao in the Free City. After both sides probed each other and felt that each other's strength was very strong, they began secret cooperation.

Regarding the matter of Li Xiniwei, Xin Alice, and Dorothy, Di Zong had long known. From his standpoint, this matter was very difficult to handle.

Who to kill? One is a son-in-law, one is a biological daughter, and the last is a little granddaughter. Especially the last one, he couldn't love her enough, so how could he kill her? That was love across generations. Di Zong looked like an evil ghost, but in fact, this old man cherished his "feathers" very much, as well as his descendants.

After Su Xiao had people send the Devourer Dark Sun over, this thing was sent by name to Xin Yuge. Xin Yuge was also prepared to accept it, which could help him pursue power. But before he touched Dark Sun, he was stopped by someone. That person was Xin Alice. She sensed a strong sense of bond on Dark Sun, and even blood resonance.

Therefore, the person who truly became the host of Dark Sun was Xin Alice, not Xin Yuge. That martial arts fanatic brother had never come out of the house from beginning to end; it was his older sister who borrowed his name.

In the courtyard, Xin Yuge—no, Xin Alice—pulled off her hair tie. Her appearance changed rapidly, and finally, she completely turned into the appearance of Xin Alice.

Alice looked at Dorothy, who was sluggish in front of her, and said, "Cute little thing, seeing me, are you surprised?"

Alice's eyes turned golden. Using Dark Sun with her intensity, after the result of this battle, Dark Sun would be exhausted and turn into fly ash. This was not important. The Dark Sun created this time had too little Sun Faith injected, and there were many aspects of imperfection.

It was just a trial model. With the experimental data from this time, the God-Stick type Dark Sun would be born.

Dorothy quickly accepted the fact in front of her. She had a sense of relief. Originally, she planned to find Xin Alice after killing Xin Yuge. Now it was good; the two enemies were combined into one, which saved trouble.

Dorothy thought for a while and shouted, "Lord Bai Ye, the enemy is here. Don't sit there. We are going to fight."

"..."

Su Xiao took a chocolate bean from the candy paper tube Beni was holding and threw it into his mouth to chew.

"Lord Bai Ye, I know, you will definitely not stand by. I am your little dog-leg. Let's join forces and wipe them out."

Dorothy made a final struggle. She hurriedly turned her head to look at Su Xiao. After finding that Su Xiao had no intention of helping at all, she immediately turned her gaze to the enemy opposite. In terms of perception, Feihong's perception was even worse than Amu's.

It can only be said that Dorothy is worthy of being Dorothy. Although she is sometimes like a fool, she is very witty when big things happen. She knows how to hug a big thigh and never rushes hard by herself.

If Su Xiao doesn't make a move here, Di Zong won't move there. This was the reward Di Zong got at the cost of assassinating the Chief Justice, Fowo.

Otherwise, with Su Xiao's methods, Dorothy and Xin Alice at this time would have been in a violent state, fully stimulating the Devourer in their bodies for a final battle.

That scene would definitely be two female berserkers fighting, not like now, where both maintained rationality.

In the final analysis, Di Zong cherished his "feathers" too much. When people get old, their hearts get a little soft.

"Dorothy, at this time, you are actually afraid. Back then, it was me who peeled your mother's skin bit by bit. Her screams seem to still echo in my ears, the pleasant screams and wails."

"Shut up!"

The "Dark Demon Blood Shadow," which was a head taller than Dorothy, appeared behind her. The blood shadow pulled out the long sword on her lower back and disappeared from the spot, heading straight for Alice opposite.

Alice's figure looked slim, but she was a total tomboy when fighting. I don't know why she took a fancy to Li Xiniwei back then. Perhaps this is fate.

Fire patterns appeared on Alice's arms, and she punched the blood shadow that lunged to her side.

Boom!

The flames instantly filled the courtyard, spraying out along the gate, and the moss on the ground was burned away.

In the flames, steam surged from Dorothy's whole body, and she began to gradually turn into steam.

The crisp sound of slashing continued incessantly. Alice, whose arms were wrapped in a layer of hardened shell, clashed head-on with the blood shadow. The blood shadow was beaten to retreat repeatedly, and was even punched into the wall.

On the roof of the large house, inside the glass column standing beside Su Xiao's leg, the Devourer Black A became particularly irritable. The meaning of that mental fluctuation was: "If it could go down, those two little brothers would both have to die."

The flames occupied the courtyard. After the roaring sound continued for more than half an hour, the blood shadow scattered. Dorothy's figure appeared, and she was kicked by Alice into the stone carving on the side.

Even though Dorothy had improved her strength again, she was still no match for Alice. The combat experience was too different.

Just then, a loud noise came from the foot of the mountain. Di Zong looked over there, his face not looking very good.

"Someone blocked it over there."

Su Xiao spoke. Hearing him say this, the corners of Alice's mouth, who was covered in flames, curled up slightly, as if she smiled. The smile came from the heart.

"That kid finally has some backbone for once, but that group of people below is not easy to deal with."

After saying that, Di Zong didn't speak anymore, watching the battle in silence.

In the courtyard, Dorothy, who was blasted into the sculpture, got up in a somewhat strange posture. Blood energy gathered above her, forming a phantom. It could be vaguely seen that the two big hands of this phantom were raised, and the hands were like manipulating a marionette.

Dorothy's left arm lifted backward. With a click, the dislocated bones were corrected. Her eyes were pale, with only very small blood spots in the center.

This is the second state of Feihong, "Spirit Shadow Secret Puppet," which is currently in an automatic type.

The long sword nearly 1.5 meters long flew toward Dorothy and was held in her hand. Now the one fighting was not her, but the Devourer Feihong.

Dorothy's hair grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the blood pupils in her eyes gradually became larger.

Zing!

The crisp sound of slashing spread far away. A bloodstain crossed Alice's abdomen, and Alice showed a look of pain.

The blade sounded crisp, and the flames raged. The battle became tragic as time passed. After lasting for an hour.

With a bang, Alice kicked Dorothy away. Dorothy rolled a few times on the ground, her left arm and right leg deformed, but under the manipulation of the "Spirit Shadow Secret Puppet," her arm and right leg quickly recovered, and the wounds were also stitched up.

The flames on the ground gradually went out. Alice half-squatted on the ground. She looked at the "Spirit Shadow Secret Puppet" behind Dorothy. The thing she was waiting for came out. This terrible thing must be removed.

The flames on Alice's body exploded, and she disappeared from the spot. The next moment, she appeared in front of Dorothy.

"Farewell."

Alice's right hand turned translucent, and at a speed Dorothy couldn't react to, it pierced into her chest.

Puchi.

Five fingers pierced into the chest, and the flames in the courtyard were all extinguished. The "Spirit Shadow Secret Puppet" also vanished in an instant. All extraordinary phenomena caused by the Devourer disappeared.

With a thud, Dorothy leaned against the towering wall behind her, and a few inconspicuous cracks appeared on the wall.

Dorothy's eyes returned to their original appearance. She was stunned for a moment, and then felt a severe pain that almost made her incontinent coming from her chest. Looking down, it was Alice's five fingers piercing into her chest, which made her unable to move even a finger.

"Farewell."

The satisfied smile on Alice's face was undisguised. She withdrew her translucent arm that had pierced into Dorothy's chest. The thing that made Dorothy terrified happened: although she wasn't injured, the Feihong in her body was actually extracted, and the pain almost drowned her.

Amidst Dorothy's shrill screams, Alice pulled with all her might, completely seizing Feihong. Feihong followed Alice's arm and gradually merged into her body.

"I am the perfect body."

Alice spread her arms. Dorothy, who was sitting under the wall in front of her, looked up foolishly. She felt an inexplicable sense of grievance in her heart. Did she rush here from thousands of miles away just to deliver a head?

Unfortunately, she didn't even have the strength to get up now and could only be slaughtered.

Pfft~

A spray of blood splashed on Dorothy's cheek. She looked at Alice in surprise.

"Hmm?"

Alice looked down at her abdomen. A crack was gradually expanding. A person cannot have two Devourers in their body. Feihong + Dark Sun will not produce any perfect body. Su Xiao never said this.

Wounds appeared on Alice's whole body at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her vitality flowed away at high speed through these wounds. In just a few seconds, Alice fell to the ground, gasping for breath like a fish on the shore, but unable to take in any oxygen.

Alice, who fell to the ground, crawled toward Dorothy. Seeing this, Dorothy, who was weak all over, leaned back, but she was against the wall and was held up by it.

"You, you..."

Alice's hand reached toward Dorothy's face. Unfortunately, because she was too weak, it was more like her fingers brushing across Dorothy's face. Finally, Alice lost her strength, her head rested in Dorothy's arms, and she died.

Dorothy sat there foolishly. Her lifelong enemy actually died just like this? This gave her a sense of unreality.

Just then, Dorothy saw Su Xiao walking toward her. She said, "Mr. Bai Ye, I succeeded, but... why am I not happy at all."

Answering Dorothy was a punch from Su Xiao.

Bang~

Dorothy's eyes fell into pitch black, and she was knocked unconscious.

Knocking Dorothy unconscious with one punch, Su Xiao looked at Di Zong.

"Take her away. Her potential has been stimulated enough."

Su Xiao threw Dorothy toward Di Zong. Di Zong didn't catch her. The black-eyed girl on the side held the unconscious Dorothy in a princess carry.

"Is this my future opponent? She looks silly."

The black-eyed girl disappeared after a few leaps and rushed down the mountain.

"This is the evil fruit they planted themselves, and they can only eat it themselves."

After Di Zong left this sentence, he walked down the mountain.

In the courtyard, Su Xiao looked at Alice lying on the ground and said, "They are gone."

Alice, who had just died, opened her eyes. These were dull eyes. She said, "Mr. Bai Ye, thank you for cooperating with us to do these things."

"Each gets what they need. You hurry up and die. I have things to do when I go back."

"Okay."

Alice's answer was very calm. In her current situation, even a god couldn't save her.

Why was there this scene? Speaking of which, this is a cliché story. Since ancient times, illicit affairs lead to loss of life.

Actually, Alice was not a mistress; she was Li Xiniwei's original wife and Dorothy's biological mother.

Like many cliché stories, the Xin clan refused this marriage. Li Xiniwei at that time was an official of the Aurora Council. Given the relationship between the Demi-humans and humans at that time, this marriage was simply roasting the Xin clan on fire, being neither here nor there.

Di Zong sent people to catch Alice back, preparing to turn big things into small ones. In fact, this was true. This matter slowly faded and didn't cause any influence.

As luck would have it, Li Xiniwei was young at the time. His wife was snatched away. Of course, he would investigate. Even if he knew everything, he was powerless.

Helplessly, Li Xiniwei could only raise his daughter who had just turned one month old. But a big man is inevitably careless. Li Xiniwei hired a servant, and that servant was named Oripia, which was the mother in Dorothy's cognition.

As a young man full of blood, plus his newlywed wife being snatched away, and the young maid Oripia by his side, could he endure it? The answer is, he couldn't.

Afterward, Li Xiniwei's idea was: since Alice couldn't come back, he would just find a new mother for the child. Anyway, the child was still young and didn't understand. As for the black nails, it was simple. Just tell the new wife, Oripia, and she could paint her nails black from now on.

Originally there was no problem, but a few years later, the starving Alice was unsealed. Having been held back for several years, she not only wanted to find her husband to have a go, but also missed her daughter to the point of madness. In fact, this was also the reason Di Zong let her out of the house. She missed her daughter so much that she was a bit obsessed.

When Alice traveled all the way and finally investigated her daughter's address and saw her daughter, she saw her husband's new wife and the daughter who called the other party mother.

Alice laughed very happily at that time. Already mentally unwell, she almost tortured Oripia to death, and it was in front of Dorothy.

When Alice came to her senses, she saw the broken corpses everywhere and the young Dorothy huddled in the corner. Alice calmed down and left silently.

After this happened, it was completely distorted in rumors from the outside world. For example, Oripia was said to be the first wife, Alice was the mistress, etc.

And today, Alice made her own choice. With her experience, one can imagine what kind of subversion Dorothy's worldview would suffer after knowing that her biological mother tortured her foster mother to death, and she might even be muddled in the future.

But if it were replaced by killing the enemy with her own hands, it would be easy to accept. So Alice chose Dark Sun, chose to come here, and chose to die here. She chose to give her daughter an easy future, not muddled, and not bitter and deep.

If it were a life-and-death struggle, 10 Dorothys added together would not be Alice's match. So Alice chose to die like this. It was also hard for her to come up with such a reasonable way of defeat and death.

So far, there are 4 people who know about this: Su Xiao, Di Zong, Alice, and Li Xiniwei.

At this very moment, only two people remain who know about this: Su Xiao and Di Zong.

Alice's corpse gradually turned into ashes and drifted away, leaving behind two items: a Devourer and a treasure chest.

【You have obtained the Soul Box of Thought (Opening this treasure chest-type item has a low probability of obtaining soul equipment, soul-type skills, and a high probability of obtaining soul-type props, etc.).】

Su Xiao picked up the 【Soul Box of Thought】 and also picked up the Devourer on the side.

This Devourer was no longer Feihong and Dark Sun, but a combination of the two. This was an unexpected harvest.

Su Xiao walked down the mountain along the mountain road. When he reached the foot of the mountain, he stopped in front of a stone tablet. The stone tablet was splattered with blood. Li Xiniwei was leaning against the stone tablet. He lowered his head, looking at a small music box in his hand, his expression fixed in a smile.

And around him, there were broken corpses, many of which were Demi-human soldiers.

Under a tree not far away, a female officer wearing a vest heard footsteps. With her face down and her neck bleeding, she said, "Officer, mission... accomplished. On the way back, you... be careful."

After saying this, the female officer lost her breath. This sentence was said to Li Xiniwei. It can only be said that this guy really has a way with women.

The morning sun rose, and the water vapor on the steps of the mountain road was misty, reflecting a small rainbow in the morning sun.

Su Xiao looked up the mountain road steps. In the thin mist, he seemed to see a man and a woman holding hands, standing on the steps halfway up the mountain. The man among them even raised his hand to greet his side.

Su Xiao leaped onto the back of the Storm Winged Dragon. The Storm Winged Dragon carried him, Beni, and Baha, and flew toward the direction where the morning sun rose.

PS: (12,000 words in the first update. Today's update is late. I've been writing from noon until now. This is because I saw a power outage notice on WeChat. Tomorrow, the town where Feiwen is located will have a total power outage, so I wrote more today. This inevitably led to a late update. Some time ago, a typhoon passed through here. I haven't experienced a typhoon before and often had power outages, which I can understand. But what I can't figure out is why the whole town's power is overhauled several times a year? One overhaul takes a whole day. Today's update is 12,000 words. If there is no power outage tomorrow, I will update normally. If there is a power outage, I will have to ask for a day off. It's really impossible to write if I drive to an internet cafe more than ten kilometers away. I've tested it before.) ===== CHAPTER 3415 =====
