I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 14.14. The World Tree

"die!!"

The longsword moved with unstoppable force, striking straight for the vital point! *Whoosh—*

But the expected scene did not appear. Qi Xiao looked up in astonishment. The fatal blow had actually been blocked. But what made him even more confused was that the black-haired youth in front of him was covered with a layer of light golden mist. It was the one he knew best—the One-Tailed Spirit Robe!

"How is this possible?!" Qi Xiao's mind was completely blank with shock, and at the same time, an inexplicable fear suddenly welled up in his heart.
nourish - nourish -

The twin swords, locked in a fierce struggle, were slowly pushed back. Xia Feng's cold, dark eyes peeked from the side of the gleaming blades, a terrifying smile playing on his lips: "Senior Brother Qi, you've run out of time, haven't you?"

"Now, it's my turn!!"

Bang! !

Bang bang bang bang—this time it was Xia Feng's turn to swing his knife faster!

As Qi Xiao retreated, he reacted quickly, blocking from all angles. The enhancement effect of the One-Tailed Spirit Robe only lasted for ten seconds, and now that the time limit had expired, Xia Feng's comprehensive fighting ability was clearly far beyond that of a normal person. With the speed, strength, and nerve reaction doubled, he simply couldn't withstand it.

Shoulder.

Left arm.

Right leg.

Face and neck.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the dazzling flashes of light from the blades filled Qi Xiao's horrified eyes. He couldn't understand why, why this bastard had a tail.
"Why!!"

*Pfft*—The long knife plunged into his abdomen, and Qi Xiao coughed up blood. His eyes widened in horror as he looked up, meeting Xia Feng's cold, murderous gaze.

"Ho-"

Qi Xiao's throat moved, and his bloodied face suddenly contorted into a ferocious grin. He abruptly grabbed Xia Feng's arm as he tried to pull back his knife, and at the same time, a psionic grenade appeared in his hand. His smile was maniacal. "Then let's die together!!"

呲——

A pale golden misty tail, long and thin, extended from behind Xia Feng, but its tip released a sharp spiritual pressure impact, forming a spike-shaped high-pressure beam that instantly pierced through Qi Xiao's heart.

Qi Xiao's crazed and ferocious expression froze instantly. His neck stiffened and he slowly lowered his head, his bloodied chest, like a hellish abyss, reflected in his shocked and terrified eyes.

"How is this possible?!" He took two steps back, lost his balance, and fell backward.

The spiritual pressure impact at the tail. This is an attack technique that can only be achieved after thoroughly understanding the One-Tailed Spirit Cloth. He spent two whole years learning it, and he only vaguely grasped the basics.
pat!

Qi Xiao collapsed to the ground, his eyes gradually losing focus as he stared at the blood moon. He was filled with resentment, unwillingness, and disbelief—how could this have happened?
He's such a genius! If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have bothered with him.
"A psionic grenade? Tsk~" Xia Feng tossed it around and complained, "You have no sportsmanship."

Despite saying that, he still squatted down and began rummaging through the loot: "Let me see what other goodies you've hidden~"

He poured out thirteen small, bright red fruits from his satchel.

Xia Feng picked up one, sniffed it, and pondered, "So this is the Fruit of Wisdom?"

He tossed all the Wisdom Fruits into his bag, then felt around again. "Oh wow, there's even a grenade?"

"Isn't this thing a contraband? Where did you get it?" Xia Feng asked, tilting his head.

"Ho-ho-"

Qi Xiao's neck stiffened, and a large amount of blood spilled from the corner of his lips. He opened his mouth, his voice faint. Xia Feng listened carefully, "Xia, Feng—how long did it take you to learn, One-Tail?"

"You learned it yesterday, how many days do you think it will take?"

As Xia Feng spoke casually, he meticulously searched his entire body, but found nothing of value, which was a bit of a pity. He had hoped that this guy might have some powerful spirit garment blueprints.

Is it really just one day?
Qi Xiao was unwilling to believe it, but Xia Feng had no reason to lie to a dying man like him.

"I thought you were arrogant, but it turns out I'm the arrogant one." Qi Xiao's eyes were completely lifeless as he stared blankly at the blood moon in the night sky.

Buzz-buzz-

Suddenly, the space beneath the blood moon trembled faintly, emitting a disgusting, shrill sound like fingernails scraping against a blackboard, a hissing sound—as if a creature had opened its eyes, a pitch-black crack abruptly opened up the space. After a moment's pause, like tearing apart cheap black silk, a huge black hole was ripped out of the space in a flash!
Xia Feng turned around in astonishment, his expression changing drastically: "Damn it, how did the Black Hole Disaster get here—"

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a crazy suction force coming towards him. With a rumble, countless giant trees were uprooted, along with soil and flowers, and the world was in chaos.

"Ahhhhh!!" Xia Feng was spinning and flying through the air. His least favorite ride at the amusement park was the roller coaster. He hated the heart-stopping feeling of weightlessness and felt very unsafe.

Even so, he still managed to react thanks to his excellent neurological reflexes and adaptability.

whoosh-

Xia Feng grabbed Qi Xiao, who was bleeding profusely, in mid-air, stepped on his back, and stared intently at the black hole in front of him.

Since we can't escape, let's just rush in and take a look.

hum! !

Xia Feng's mind went blank for a moment. The process of passing through the black hole was not as bizarre and wonderful as he had imagined. In just an instant, he only felt a little dizzy and the surrounding scenery changed.

"Hu-hu-"

Snowflakes were falling heavily, and the cold wind was biting.

He squinted and looked around at the sky in confusion.

Snowflakes drifted down from the sky, below which lay a vast expanse of white snowfield. All around was desolate and deserted. The heavens and earth resembled a beast with its jaws wide open, and the endless wind seemed to be its incessant roar, making it almost impossible for Xia Feng to open his eyes.

"Sigh~~"

He hunched his shoulders. "Damn it, what kind of place is this? It's freezing!"

If it weren't for the bright blood moon still hanging in the sky, he would have almost thought he had left the Evil Dragon Forest.

"Huh? Wait!"

Xia Feng was suddenly startled and subconsciously reached out to grab the air. "This is such a strong evil energy!"

He could clearly feel the cheers of his body's cells. He reached out and pinched the air, and soon a shallow pool of water separated and floated in his palm. The remaining blood and impurities boiled and vaporized after falling into the snow.

Previously, in the Light Calamity Zone, each separation could only produce a trace of Calamity Liquid, but here, one could directly produce a palm-sized amount of Calamity Liquid!

Clearly, the concentration of Ehrlich is extremely high!
Absorb the Elixir from your palm.

[Remaining activity: 5 hours + 2 hours 39 seconds]

Each absorption adds about two hours, which is enough, but to survive, he would have to stay in this place every day, which is obviously unrealistic.

It still cannot be a one-time solution.

"The World Tree... the World Tree?"

A weak yet shocked murmur faintly echoed, and Xia Feng followed the sound with a puzzled look, stepping over the scattered, broken giant trees on the ground.

He saw the dying Qi Xiao behind a huge tree trunk.

"Good heavens, you're still alive?" Although somewhat surprised, Xia Feng sensed something was wrong and, without thinking, immediately stepped forward to finish you off.

At this moment, Qi Xiao was leaning against a tree trunk, his dim gray eyes staring into the distance in a daze and shock.

Xia Feng followed his gaze and looked back, his pupils dilating as well.

"It's so big, so thick, and so white!"

Xia Feng looked up into the distance and saw that at the end of the snowfield, in the vast天地 (heaven and earth), there was a pale giant tree that reached into the clouds. Countless runic iron chains were wrapped around the tree trunk, intertwining upwards to form a cage-like shape, and forming a mysterious gray halo around the outside.

"It really is the World Tree." Xia Feng's dark eyes lit up eight degrees. He hadn't even started searching carefully yet, and he had already reached his destination?

Ah, while he was happy, a question arose in his mind: he had been unlucky for two lifetimes, how could he suddenly be so lucky?
