Volume 3, Chapter 108 – Whispers

Relying on the unique resonance between the divine power within himself and Mengxi, Xue Tian’ao quickly noticed the silver-haired girl galloping from not far away after he burst through Xiao’s barrier. He also saw the familiar black silhouette beside her.

‘That person…’

‘Is it Blood Butterfly!?’

The moment he saw that black silhouette, Xue Tian’ao’s pupils contracted sharply. The tragic memory of his ‘eggs’ being shattered the previous night replayed in his mind like a slideshow. Though he had lost Little Tian’ao countless times today, the first time was always the most deeply ingrained in his memory. The one who had made him a ‘Holy Spear Hero’ ¹ still have no idea what this means. Most likely have to do with having no balls or something was none other than the black-haired girl in the distance.

Furthermore, she was an Abyssal Demon and a demon king tier existence.

Considering what her younger brother, Duke Blackrose, had done just now, the massive siege by the Abyssal Demon army today, and the unexpected appearance of three demon king tier entities, it all surely had to do with her! She was the culprit behind everything!

In an instant, an unparalleled sense of malice bred frantically in Xue Tian’ao’s heart like a virus. His pale golden eyes filled with hatred, and any previous infatuation with the girl vanished completely.

However, hatred was one thing.

Xue Tian’ao suddenly transformed into a golden meteor and charged toward the black-haired girl ahead, not for revenge, but to take control of her!

Now that his spine had been pierced by the magic spear, Xue Tian’ao realized he could not escape Sky Dome alone. Once his golden phantom was defeated, Xiao and those two demon king tier entities would soon catch up and tear him to pieces.

To stay alive, he had to make a move against Miss Blood Butterfly!

Even though he was currently riddled with wounds, he still possessed high-tier eight combat power under the blessing of divine power! Additionally, divine power had the ability to counter Abyssal Demons! Even if he couldn’t deal with Xiao and the other two demon king tier entities, defeating Blood Butterfly shouldn’t be difficult!

She was merely a newly born demon king tier!

Even if Blood Butterfly had some hidden ability, the current Xue Tian’ao didn’t have the luxury to care. To him, choosing the eldest daughter of the Blackrose family, who didn’t seem particularly strong in combat, was better than choosing those three monsters behind him!

Besides, hadn’t the System said it before? The ‘Heart-Soul Lock’ would have a delayed effect! Perhaps it had already taken effect by now? If that were the case, controlling Blood Butterfly would be even easier!

As long as he could control Blood Butterfly, he would have a bargaining chip to negotiate with Xiao.

Furthermore, even if he couldn’t control her…

His gaze shifted toward Miss Mengxi beside the black-haired girl, and a cruel thought surfaced in his mind.

Mengxi was the Chosen Maiden. Just like him, she was deeply hated by the Abyssal Demons. He might be able to redirect the wrath of the two demon king tier entities behind him onto that woman!

‘Sorry, Miss Mengxi…’

Thus, Xue Tian’ao made his decision. He abruptly surged his divine power behind him to further increase his speed. Carrying an overwhelming momentum, he tore through the sky and launched a fierce assault toward the two silhouettes in the distance!

The two beauties who once possessed ‘Transcendent’ value in Xue Tian’ao’s eyes had now turned into disposable tools to help him escape.

Now, Xue Tian’ao had no other thoughts in his mind besides the words ‘stay alive.’

The golden light broke through the darkness, rapidly closing in on those two exquisite figures.

On the other side, Yumo’s eyes suddenly shrank and her body trembled when she saw the approaching golden light. She then fell into a strange silence, her footsteps coming to a halt as she stood still, staring at the Chosen Son charging toward her with intense hostility and fighting intent.

“Sister… Sister Yu?!”

Seeing Xue Tian’ao suddenly arrive with such grand momentum, churning up terrifying divine power like crashing waves, Mengxi’s heart trembled as she felt a surge of overwhelming pressure.

Seeing Sister Yu dazed on the spot, Mengxi’s anxiety skyrocketed, reaching a state of frantic desperation.

Rеαⅾ οո KаtReαⅾіոɡСαfе

Xue Tian’ao’s sudden appearance in such a powerful state was completely beyond Mengxi’s expectations. Furthermore, this stallion of a man was charging at them with full force!

‘Could it be that the guy realized Sister Yu’s identity? Is that why he’s attacking her? Damn it! Sister Yu’s acting might not fool me, but it should have been enough to deceive Xue Tian’ao! How did she get exposed!’

‘Moreover, this power? Is it divine power?! And at such a concentration?!’

Feeling the surging divine power around Xue Tian’ao that moved like a tempestuous sea, Mengxi’s beautiful pale violet eyes were filled with gravity. If the old Xue Tian’ao had charged at Sister Yu like this, Mengxi might have even cheered because such a move would be equivalent to seeking death.

Although Mengxi knew Sister Yu was very strong, the current Xue Tian’ao was vastly different from before. He radiated a powerful aura that was nearly at the high eight tier. Combined with the innate strength of divine power and its property of countering Abyssal Demons, even Sister Yu might be in mortal danger.

At this thought, extreme worry occupied the silver-haired girl’s violet eyes.

“Sister! Sister Yu!! What are you doing! Move, quickly!”

While anxiously calling out the black-haired girl’s ‘name’, Mengxi pulled at Yumo’s arm, trying to snap her out of it and get her to dodge Xue Tian’ao’s attack. However, no matter how much Mengxi pulled, Yumo remained motionless, fixed in place like a statue.

Seeing Sister Yu in this mysterious ‘statue mode’, staring intently at Xue Tian’ao without moving, Mengxi was practically jumping with anxiety.

‘Sister Yumo!! What are you doing!!’

‘It’s dangerous right now! Move!’

In the past, if Sister Yu entered ‘statue mode’ and stayed motionless, Mengxi had plenty of ways to wake her up. All it took was a bit of stimulation. However, not only would doing those things in front of Xue Tian’ao be too shameful, but there also wasn’t enough time.

Helpless, Mengxi grit her teeth and drew the sword at her waist, standing in front of Yumo. Clearly, the silver-haired girl intended to use her own strength to block Xue Tian’ao’s attack. Of course, her mid sixth tier strength attempting to oppose an eighth tier existence was nothing more than a pipe dream.

So, while Mengxi took a defensive stance, she silently deactivated her protective holy magic.

Mengxi’s trump card was the Divine Miracle. Once she fell into a crisis, the Divine Miracle would erupt. That divine power used to protect her should be able to temporarily block Xue Tian’ao’s attack. As for what would happen afterward if Sister Yu was still dazed, she really didn’t know what to do.

But for now, Mengxi could only take it one step at a time.

With that thought, a look of resolve appeared in Mengxi’s eyes as the silver-white light around her surged. Compared to the overwhelming eighth tier aura, Mengxi’s holy magic fluctuations were like a gentle breeze, completely unable to shake the boulder in front of her.

However, at that very moment, just as Mengxi was about to clash with Xue Tian’ao, an unprecedented chill instantly rushed into her heart. The silver-haired girl, who had been fearless just a moment ago, suddenly showed a look of terror, her pale violet eyes trembling involuntarily.

‘This… this is…’

Naturally, what made Mengxi feel afraid was not the roaring Xue Tian’ao in front of her, but the cold aura coming from behind.

‘Yu… Yumo… Sister Yumo??’

Completely ignoring Xue Tian’ao’s aggressive charge, Mengxi turned her head tremblingly to look behind her at the black-haired girl who had become almost unrecognizable.

“Sister… Yu?”

By now, the black-haired girl had recovered from her daze. Although she didn’t release any powerful energy aura, the looming, terrifying pressure and the heart-stopping chill made Mengxi break out in a cold sweat.

The black-haired girl’s beautiful deep blue eyes were gradually stained with a layer of crimson, becoming incredibly blood-red, filled with a strange and eerie beauty. The compassionate smile that usually graced that exquisite face was gone, and the warmth in her eyes had vanished entirely.

Yumo’s expression was terrifyingly dark. Boundless killing intent replaced the warmth in her eyes.

Yumo did not respond to Mengxi’s cry. Instead, she walked straight forward, toward Xue Tian’ao.

“That is divine power… holy attribute divine power…”

Facing the golden light that was drawing closer, Yumo repeated these words like a machine. As these words left her mouth, crimson Shadow Essence began to slowly seep from her body. The ‘Veil of Deception’ used to suppress the aura of the Shadow Essence could no longer hold it back.

Strange voices began to ring out continuously in Yumo’s mind.

*Kill him.

Kill him.

Kill him.

Kill that Chosen Son. Tear him limb from limb, chop him into a thousand pieces, and completely annihilate his soul!

Because he is our enemy.

Every existence that possesses divine power is our enemy! It is our responsibility to eliminate them all…*

The words, like demonic whispers, kept pouring into Yumo’s brain. As the words continued to echo, a massive amount of negative emotions like killing intent, loathing, and resentment spread out of control within Yumo’s heart, gradually drowning the girl’s reason.

A bloodthirsty intent gradually surfaced in her crimson eyes. The corners of the girl’s mouth curled slightly, revealing a frantic smile. That eerie smile even made Mengxi shudder.

‘Hehe…’

‘A possessor of divine power?’

‘Then, go die.’

In the next moment, crimson Shadow Essence erupted from the black-haired girl’s body, blotting out the sky! Countless blood-colored butterflies instantly covered the heavens, enveloping Xue Tian’ao within them!

In that instant, Xue Tian’ao’s expression changed violently.

‘What the hell is going on?!’
