It's not too much to say that a beauty is a little bit stronger

Xiao Huai's pupils shrank slightly and he quickly dodged to the side.

But more monsters emerged from all directions, surrounding him completely.

Xiao Huai's movements were still precise, but as the battle progressed, he became keenly aware of the abnormalities of these monsters.

No matter how he attacked, these monsters seemed to have no sense of pain. The blood flowing from their wounds was like thick black paste, and even their body functions did not decline.

Immortal body?

The power of these monsters exceeded his expectations.

Not only are their combat abilities astonishing, but their attack methods also reveal a strange sense of oppression, and there are certain rules that constrain his reactions.

As the battle continued, the effects of high pollution gradually became apparent.

Xiao Huai's vision began to blur, and the scene in front of him seemed to be covered with a layer of mist. Even the speed of swinging the sword was a little slower than before.

Xiao Huai temporarily forced back the two approaching monsters.

He glanced at the body on the ground, still lying there quietly.

He recalled the moment the battle began.

As soon as he arrived here, the group of female monsters appeared and attacked him with a clear target.

These monsters are guarding the corpse.

The perfect appearance of the corpse, the missing organs in the chest, and the protection of these monsters, all clues point to one conclusion -

The source of the pollution is this corpse.

"In that case..."

Or burn her?

Xiao Huai flipped his hand, and a barrel of gasoline suddenly appeared in his hand.

The monsters' attention was instantly drawn to the barrel of gasoline.

Although they didn't know what it was, they felt something was wrong.

But just when they thought Xiao Huai would pour gasoline on the body.

Xiao Huai accidentally poured gasoline directly on himself. The liquid flowed down his shoulders, soaked his robe, and emitted a pungent smell.

The smell of oil.

The monsters around them paused, and a hint of confusion appeared in their dark pupils.

Xiao Huai returned to the body in full view of everyone.

He did not look embarrassed because he was covered in gasoline. He raised his eyes slightly and looked into the darkness.

"I've been wanting to say this since a while ago..." His tone was low, and his gaze fell precisely on a certain spot in the darkness. "Is hiding and spying this whole time really that fun?"

The air fell silent for a moment.

A moment later, the sound of light footsteps came from the woods.

The footsteps were neither fast nor slow, accompanied by a slightly cool breath, and they moved towards Xiao Huai like a snake.

"My Lord, what you said really makes me sad."

A familiar voice sounded from the darkness, and Jiang Fu's figure walked out. The snake's scales looked particularly dazzling in the moonlight.

This time, the snake following him was not a small snake, but a four-meter-tall black snake.

Jiang Fu had a faint smile on his face, "I'm not peeping, I'm just concerned."

He stopped and looked at Xiao Huai, who was soaked in gasoline, and his smile deepened.

Xiao Huai's voice was low: "You are not good at lying."

Jiang Fu raised his eyebrows, his smile not diminishing: "Oh? Why do you say that?"

"Because you don't have to lie."

When a person's strength has made him stand above everyone else.

When he tells lies, he always does so with an arrogant sense of superiority.

Jiang Fu laughed out loud, as if he didn't care at all about Xiao Huai's insight.

He slowly took two steps closer, his eyes swept over the corpse on the ground, and whispered:

"So what do you want to do now? Are you going to commit suicide, or continue this pointless struggle?"

Jiang Fu seemed to have thought of something and added, "Actually, you don't need to be so persistent. You have to know that only absolute loyalty can bring true peace."

When he said this, he seemed to be imagining a beautiful future:

"Wouldn't it be wonderful if there were no more betrayal and rebellion in the world?"

"It sounds like a great dream." Xiao Huai responded coldly, "But you overestimate human nature and your own ability to control it."

Jiang Fu's smile gradually widened, and the madness on his face was obvious.

He stared at Xiao Huai, his tone revealing a deep possessiveness and obsession:

"That's why I need you."

As he spoke, his eyes turned crazy: "I need a cleaner container, and you are the gift God has given me."

Before Jiang Fu finished speaking, the air around him turned cold.

Xiao Huai felt the chill coming, and with a glance he found that the river not far away was beginning to freeze rapidly. The ice spread from the surface of the river, freezing the entire water surface into a white mirror.

The surrounding trees also began to be covered with frost, and the branches and leaves instantly lost their vitality, as if the entire space was frozen.

Jiang Fu stood in the center of the icy air current, raised his hand, and said with a faint smile:

"Take it."

Snakes are much faster than humans in cold environments.

Xiao Huai knew.

Jiang Fu never cared about this corpse.

His real target has always been himself, not the corpse.

He had been plotting against himself since the beginning when he was in Gechunlou.

Human curiosity always brings danger.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, curiosity is Xiao Huai's fatal weakness.

The attack of the female monster in white became more and more fierce, and her sharp weapon cut through the air and headed straight for Xiao Huai.

The black snake opened its scarlet mouth, its sharp fangs reflecting cold light, and pounced towards Xiao Huai like a black shadow.

Xiao Huai did not stop, his eyes turned cold, and he quickly approached the corpse on the ground.

He moved his fingers slightly, and a strong wind suddenly blew up around him, causing the female monsters in white to stop moving.

In the air, coldness and blood intertwined, creating a brief period of deathly silence.

The next second, in Jiang Fu's sight, Xiao Huai's figure and the corpse on the ground disappeared without a trace, as if blown away by the wind, leaving no trace.

Jiang Fu stood there, the smile on his face gradually fading. He narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping across the deserted battlefield like a knife.

After a moment, he whispered three words, his tone full of chill.

"Marquis Zhaowu."

He raised his hand, and the female monsters around him stopped moving and stood still quietly.

Jiang Fu covered his eyes and laughed, "Could it be that you have already calculated this and planned it all along?"

-

When Xiao Huai opened his eyes again, he was already in a quiet courtyard.

The moonlight shines on the stone table in the yard, emitting a soft glow.

He sat up slowly, feeling the soft cushions beneath him.

Lu Yuanshi was sitting not far away. When he saw Xiao Huai wake up, he breathed a sigh of relief.

There was a hint of helplessness in his tone: "You use me as bait to set up a trap. You are so bold every time."

Xiao Huai rubbed his forehead lightly, his tone calm:

"It worked out pretty well, didn't it?"

Lu Yuanshi came to Xiao Huai and put his hand on the back of his hand.

He didn't speak.

Her silent gaze fell on him, with an unrelieved heartache and a deep tenderness in her eyes.

Just do what you want to do, because there will always be someone standing behind you.

"Your boldness is never alone, for I will answer your fearlessness with my own."
