Chapter 290 : The pain in the heart after the blood has calmed down!
Over the Winter City, countless killing energies turned into tiny bats and flew towards them.
They were densely packed across the night sky, and the pressure they exuded alone made the people in the city unable to lift their heads.
"What the hell are those things? They are so powerful!"
"It's so scary. Even warriors like us, who have experienced hundreds of battles, can actually feel fear."
"Everyone, look! The cold current in the sky...that's the Queen!"
Everyone looked to the sky and found the pure and aloof God of Ice and Soul, quietly staring at the group of bats.
She did not launch an attack. Judging from the way the demon bent down and saluted, the only possibility was that the person coming was him—Aatrox.
The bats gathered together to form a body that would frighten them into surrender even if they looked at it. It was the God of Slaughter himself.
"Oh? You are really tireless. Since you like to chase...hehe, then I will give you a few more gifts."
Aatrox waved his hand back to signal the army to retreat, and at the same time sent a message to the Warder in a secret language.
The next second, the demon flew into the sky and fled at full speed, but Aatrox made no move.
Everyone thought they were scared off by the Ice Soul God, and they all shouted to celebrate the victory.
After a while, all the demons disappeared, except Aatrox who remained above the city wall.
He also ignored the cries of humans, and even the gods of ice souls had an arrogant attitude. Among the demon gods in the world, only Xuanjie was worth looking at.
Looking at the sky in the distance, a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth.
"Is it finally here? Haha, let's say goodbye briefly first, and then...the main show is prepared for you."
In the sky, which was originally filled with red energy, a cold current instantly intensified, freezing the ground.
The people all believed that this was the divine power of the Ice Soul God, but only they knew who the source of the power was.
For a moment, a blue vortex appeared in the sky, which was a manifestation of the elemental power operating to its extreme.
Xuanjie stepped out of the energy, and the gods' weapons on his body were glowing, making him exude a coercion that was not inferior to Aatrox's.
What a strong elemental power! It can actually compete with the Demon King... So strong!
Both the Ice Soul God present and the Bear God watching from afar in Black Bear Mountain were all shocked by this terrifying power.
"Are you waiting for me?" Xuan Jie asked coldly.
Aatrox did not shy away and replied, "Yes, it is rare to meet an opponent, so... I thought of giving you a big gift."
Big gift?
Before Xuanjie could react, Aatrox's hoarse voice came out again.
"Sorry...I said it wrong. It should be several big gifts."
This casual attitude made Xuan Jie feel extremely unhappy, as if a murderer with a grudge against his wife was standing in front of you, threatening to bring you a surprise.
In this situation, I would never be stupid enough to think that the surprise was serious. Instead, endless nausea surged into my heart like a tidal wave, bringing anger with it.
Xuan Jie stopped talking. He condensed a spear in his hand and pointed the sharp edge at Aatrox, then flashed above his head and swung it down hard.
"Bang!"
The tip of the spear collided with the shield where red energy gathered, causing ripples and energy impacts, but the person inside did not move at all.
"Oh, I'm really anxious... Haha, I'm looking forward to what you'll do next!"
Aatrox showed no hostility or fighting spirit, and burst out with killing power to force Xuan Jie back, and then dissipated in the red mist.
It seems that just as what he said just now, he is just waiting here for Xuan Jie to come over and say goodbye to him simply.
Because as far as Aatrox was concerned, there was no point in continuing to fight.
Xuan Jie wanted to fight to the death, but he didn't want this body to be damaged.
As for Acai...perhaps he wanted to crush him to ashes before, but when he realized that the necklace might have a connection with its owner, Aatrox suppressed his inner anger.
"Goodbye Elemental God, I'm looking forward to...your performance in the future."
Xuan Jie wanted to chase towards the place where the sound disappeared, but A Cai grabbed his arm tightly as he rushed over.
"Let me go!"
Faced with the murderous look in Xuan Jie's eyes, A Cai not only did not let go, but also pressed harder.
"Don't let me go! I will never let you die...absolutely not!"
Under A Cai's persistence, the cold wind blew across his face, causing Xuan Jie's consciousness to return to calmness.
Suspended in the air, he turned around and glanced around, finding many familiar faces looking at him.
The injured Qili and Bo Gu were hiding behind the military formation, and even the God of Ice and Soul was watching him quietly.
"Let go, I won't go," Xuan Jie said calmly.
Ah Cai raised her head and asked with some uncertainty: "Really? You won't catch me while I'm letting go, will you?"
"If I really want to chase you, do you think you can hold me back?"
Forehead...
Recalling the scene of the battle between Xuan Jie and Aatrox, A Cai immediately let go of his hand.
"Then... what should we do next, leave here directly?"
Xuan Jie didn't reply immediately. Rather than continue walking with A Cai, he wanted to part ways.
No one is born to like loneliness, they are just afraid of regrets.
But A Cai seemed to know what he was considering, and before he could come to a conclusion, he noticed a particularly hot gaze.
"Ajie... No matter where you go, I will follow you and accompany you. You are already my only partner."
She said this with a smile, but the content made it impossible to laugh.
"Alas," Xuan Jie sighed, looking in the direction Aatrox left with great annoyance.
If Ah Cai hadn't stopped him, he would have fought to the death with Aatrox, and he would have long ago looked down on life and death in the face of a bloody feud.
The inner thought is still to separate from A Cai, so that if Xuan Jie is not dead, she will not face much danger.
Although it was Xuan Jie's wishful thinking, the path he wanted to take was to fight against the devil so that the other party would have no time to worry about other things.
But... Aatrox and Acai also have hatred between them. This is a path that cannot be guaranteed...
Moreover, Xuanjie didn't want to escape anymore. Since he had to face it, he followed his heart and fought hard.
Turning around, Xuanjie flew in the direction of Black Bear Mountain.
"Take some rest for a while. Go talk to the people who want to say goodbye. I want to be quiet."
A Cai stretched out her hand toward his back and wanted to chase him, but was blocked by the God of Ice and Soul.
"Give him a quiet environment. When fighting, if the body is filled with anger, maybe... there won't be much emotional fluctuations, but when the passion subsides, the raging bitterness will drown the state of mind."
Although she had not witnessed what happened to Xuan Jie in the past, A Cai still knew the ins and outs of the matter and did not bother too much.
With Xuan Jie leaving, the Ice Soul God took A Cai back to the ground to receive the salutes of his subjects, and the turmoil came to an end for the time being.
For a long time, no news came out of the Devil's Land, and the damaged Winter City had returned to its former glory.
There are many names engraved on the stone tablets in the Heroes Memorial Valley, which are places of mourning for the warriors.
On the only way into the valley, three statues were made of stones, which were the three demon gods who turned the tide of the war.
In the dense forest of Black Bear Mountain, Mu Xue, dressed in white, holds a wine jar in her hand and walks towards the person sitting by the spring.
She skillfully placed the wine next to her, then found a place to sit down.
"After Yuanling leaves, the awareness of participation may still be hidden in the energy. I believe my sister wouldn't want to see the ideal person like this."
Xuan Jie didn't reply. Ever since he came here that day, the Bear God had ordered people not to enter and disturb him.
It was quiet all day long, except for the occasional chirping of birds overhead.
Seeing that he didn't move, Mu Xue continued talking.
"Today the demons retreated again and gave up their base camp. I don't know what conspiracy they have.
While cleaning the battlefield, we discovered the secret realm where Aatrox practiced, and the killing power inside was too powerful..."
As soon as the name was mentioned, the calm environment was instantly broken by a chilling atmosphere.
Driven away by the force of the extreme cold, the birds in the forest spread their wings and flew away from the place, and the surroundings fell into silence again for a moment.
Knowing that this was Xuan Jie's pain point, Muxue stopped mentioning it and deliberately changed the topic.
"I packed up my sister's belongings today. There is an energy gem and a set of clothes bought from Winter City... and a letter."
letter!
"Where is it?" Xuan Jie asked in a cold and hoarse voice.
Du Xue stood up and motioned to follow her.
Walking out of the forest, the soldiers and civilians of Black Bear Mountain were all sizing up this demon god who could fight the demon king back and forth.
On the way, Muxue expressed intentionally or unintentionally that she wanted Xuanjie to help her check out the secret realm where Aatrox practiced.
It is filled with extremely strong killing power, which can make people hallucinate and kill each other. Even the strong-willed spirit bears will have their minds corroded.
At first Xuanjie didn't give a reply until he got the relics left by Mu Yu.
There is a blue gemstone placed on the dark red clothes, and the energy in it can be clearly felt.
Feeling the familiar breath, tears fell involuntarily from the corners of his eyes, dripping to the ground and stirring up some dust.
The huge tree hole was dug into a room. This was the place where Muxue lived during her lifetime, and it was filled with her breath.
In addition to the decorations on the table, there is a locked diary, and then there is the letter that Tuxue found.
Du Xue quietly left the room, leaving this moment to Xuan Jie.
The dazzling sunlight poured in from the window, and although he was bathed in it,...it couldn't make him feel any warmth in his heart.
An endless chill filled his torso, hardening his hands when opening the envelope.
"This is a farewell letter, dedicated to my favorite Ajie!
After so many days of getting along with each other, I... gradually came to know that what you like, Ajie, is the girl named A Cai in Winter City.
Also...according to Brother Knight, you have experienced a lot of things together, so I will write this farewell letter first, and then I will ask my sister to help deliver it. I...Although I lost, I am still very grateful to you.
The love is real!"
...
After reading the last word, Xuanjie's feet were already covered with water stains, and his tears left traces on the wooden floor.
