The Legend of the Demon Hunter

Xiao Zhu's vision gradually became clearer. He finally saw the crying woman in front of him. He was stunned. "Shi'er, why is it you? Am I still dreaming?"

Xia Shi did not answer. She threw herself into Xiao Zhu's arms and burst into tears.

Xiao Zhu gently hugged Xia Shi's delicate body. The reality of this intimate physical contact finally made Xiao Zhu realize that everything before his eyes was not an illusion, but a real thing.

"Brother, you're okay, that's great..." Xia Shi said with a sob.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Two years later, Xiao Zhu tried countless times to forget Xia Shi, but all his efforts were in vain. Xia Shi's shadow not only did not fade in his heart, but became clearer.

The love is so deep that it is engraved in my heart!

Now that he saw Xia Shi again, the emotions in his heart were like a surging wave that he could no longer suppress. It broke through the dam and went upstream. Xiao Zhu felt a warm liquid in his eyes flowing down his cheeks.

Is it tears...

"I'm sorry, Shi'er, it's all my fault. I was too confused at that time and didn't know what to do. I did something that hurt you..." Xiao Zhu said painfully.

"Brother, Shi'er has never blamed you." Xia Shi shook her head and choked up, saying, "Brother, can you promise Shi'er that we will never separate again?"

Hearing Xia Shi's soft tone, Xiao Zhu nodded solemnly and replied: "Shi'er, I promise you, we will never separate again..."

Xia Shi couldn't stop crying.

Nuomi and Cai'er, who were standing nearby, quietly stepped back a few steps, looking at the couple who were expressing their love for each other. Cai'er pulled Nuomi's skirt and asked in confusion, "Sister Nuomi, is this love?"

Nuomi stroked Cai'er's hair, smiled gently, and said, "Yes, this is love, human love."

"Sister, what does love taste like? They are both crying, but why can't Cai'er feel their sadness?" Cai'er asked naively.

Nuomi was silent for a moment, then replied: "Silly child, what is love? You will understand it when you grow up."

Cai'er bit her finger and was silent for a moment before she said, "When I was a kid, I listened to Grandpa Rock telling stories. He said that humans are the most indifferent animals in the world. I thought humans have no love."

Listening to Cai'er's innocent words, Nuomi shook her head. She seemed to be lost in thought and said slowly: "Silly child, no matter what kind of animal it is, they all have love. Love can be called the most beautiful thing in the world..."

Nuomi's eyes were wandering, her thoughts drifting into the distance, and she seemed to vaguely see the figure of an illusory male elf.

……

At this moment, the sacred weapon New Bud in Nuomi's hand suddenly flew up unconsciously and flew towards Xia Shi.

"Huh?" Nuomi looked at Xinya's reaction strangely.

The new sprout flew to the top of Xia Shi's head, and a tender green light radiated from the new sprout, covering Xia Shi. The spiritual power in Xia Shi's body began to flow uncontrollably, and the crescent mark appeared between her eyebrows, and the Shenyue bloodline spread like a tide.

A bright full moon hung in the sky, its light softly spreading throughout the lobby.

The scene before them shocked everyone. Xiao Zhu, Xia Shi and Cai'er all had looks of astonishment, watching everything that was happening before their eyes in a state of confusion.

Nuomi was the first to react. She raised her hand gently, and a vine quickly grew on the ground. It wrapped around Xiao Zhu's waist and pulled Xiao Zhu away from Xia Shi.

Just as Xiao Zhu was about to struggle, Nuomi's voice floated into his ears and stopped him: "Don't worry, she is experiencing the awakening of the Holy Spirit."

"Holy Spirit Awakening?" It was the first time Xiao Zhu heard this term, and he looked at Nuomi strangely.

"Xia Shi has a kind heart. Her mind and strength have been recognized by the Holy Sprout, so the Holy Sprout is helping her awaken her bloodline. I have only heard of this situation before, and this is the first time I have seen it." Nuomi replied.

At this moment, the rich aura of Shenyue began to surge, and this spiritual power seemed to turn into liquid, immersing everyone in this soft Shenyue River. Xiao Zhu believed what Nuomi said, because he had experienced this scene personally in the mirage, and that was when he completed his fifth blood awakening.

During these two years, Xia Shi's strength has reached the peak of hunting spirits, but he has not yet completed the fifth blood awakening. This is related to the particularity of the Shenyue bloodline. The later the auxiliary bloodline is, the more difficult it is to awaken the bloodline. This also leads to the fact that the hunting kings are almost all combat demon hunters, and auxiliary hunting kings are almost non-existent in the world.

On the other hand, Xia Shi actually never said it out loud. The reason why she failed to complete the fifth blood awakening was largely related to her mentality. During the past two years, she had been separated from Xiao Zhu, and she had always been obsessed with Xiao Zhu in her heart. When she tried to complete the fifth blood awakening, this confused mood would always hinder her and prevent her from concentrating.

Until now, her heart knot has been untied, and with the help of the holy weapon New Sprout, she finally ushered in her fifth blood awakening!

But after Xia Shi completed the fifth blood awakening, the new bud of the holy weapon did not mean to stop, but injected endless spiritual power into Xia Shi's body. Xia Shi's divine moon power and the breath of the tree of life complemented each other, and the two produced a magical reaction, which made Xia Shi's strength soar further.

Xiao Zhu looked at the scene in front of him with both surprise and joy. On the one hand, he was pleasantly surprised that Xia Shi had completed the fifth blood awakening so smoothly. On the other hand, he was also wondering to what extent this power could help Xia Shi improve.

A barrier was broken, and Xia Shi successfully broke through to the middle stage of Soul Hunting. At this time, her realm had caught up with Xiao Zhu, but the surge in spiritual power was not over yet.

At this moment, a symbol suddenly appeared on Xia Shi's right arm, and this symbol appeared and disappeared in the power of the new bud of the holy weapon.

"What is this?" Nuomi did not expect what happened before his eyes. He looked at Xia Shi in shock: "Why does she have the power of the Demon Cult?"

Xiao Zhu thought of the time when he was in Huanling Country, Di Rui of the Shenxue Sect used the soul-extracting ritual to separate Xia Shi's earth soul from his body, and then sealed it on Xia Shi's right arm. Now, with the guidance of the power of the holy weapon New Bud, the location of the sealed earth soul on Xia Shi's right arm has also been revealed.

"It's the Earth Soul. Shi'er was born with the body of an Earth Soul. She received help from a senior from the Shenxue Sect, and that's how the Earth Soul was sealed in this symbol on her right arm." Xiao Zhu explained.

"I see!" Nuomi suddenly realized, "But the power of the new sprout of the holy artifact counteracts the power of the soul that seals the earth soul, just like night and day cannot coexist. I'm afraid the earth soul will be destroyed today."
