Zhongli Wu's body lay quietly on the ground, blood slowly spreading under him, dyeing the surrounding land bright red.

His eyes were wide open, and his face still showed the shock and unwillingness before death. The once vibrant life had now disappeared like a candle in the wind, leaving only this gradually cold body.

Xiao Yan looked at the lifeless body, his stern face showed no mercy. For this evil soul master who brought disaster to the world, he only felt happy after eradicating all the evil. In the past, Zhongli Wu used his evil soul power to slaughter lives everywhere. Many innocent people died tragically at his hands, and their homes were shattered by him.

Xiao Yan's move this time was to put an end to the evil soul master's sinful path and bring peace to the world.

However, when Ye Xishui witnessed Zhongli Wu's tragic death, he felt as if struck by lightning, and the world seemed to collapse in an instant.

Her eyes instantly became bloodshot, her glare wide open, and her anger was about to burst out. The rage in her heart surged out like a volcanic eruption, and her grief and anger soared into the sky, as if to tear the sky apart.

The aura around her instantly became disordered, and her powerful soul power spread out uncontrollably. The bloody aura emanating from the Blood Soul Demon Puppet's martial soul became stronger and stronger, and the dark red light flickered violently, as if it was injected with endless resentment and hatred. The evil power caused the surrounding space to begin to distort, and the air became sticky, as if it was going to drag everything into the dark abyss.

"Xiao Yan, you dare to kill me! Take your life!" Ye Xishui screamed, her voice was sharp and piercing, cutting through the sky, and the murderous intent contained in it was frightening. Then, she did not hesitate to use her ninth soul skill - "Blood Soul Destruction".

In an instant, the sky seemed to be covered by a blood-red curtain. Endless blood energy gathered from all directions and formed a huge blood ball above her head.

There were faint shrill screams coming from the blood ball, as if countless wronged souls were struggling and screaming in it. The sound was creepy and made the soul tremble. These wronged souls were all absorbed by Ye Xishui during her past slaughters. At this moment, she was forcibly summoned just to concentrate this devastating blow.

Not only that, Ye Xishui also frantically mobilized the hidden power of Rakshasa in his body. This Rakshasa power originated from the ancient evil gods. Once it was used, the user would fall into madness, and the power could increase several times in a short period of time.

A strange black light appeared on her body, intertwined with the blood-red soul power, emitting a suffocating pressure. Her hair stood upright, flying wildly in the wind, and the veins on her face bulged, as if she was possessed by an evil spirit.

The blood ball slowly spun faster and faster, and each rotation was accompanied by a powerful energy wave that spread outward. Wherever it went, the ground was torn into hideous cracks, and the boulders were shattered and turned into dust flying all over the sky. The surrounding trees were even more vulnerable, and were uprooted in an instant, and were swept into the blood-red energy vortex. In the blink of an eye, they were torn into pieces and disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Yan felt the fatal threat coming towards him, and his eyes instantly became extremely solemn. He knew very well that the power of Ye Xishui's ninth soul skill was extraordinary. Once hit, no matter how strong he was, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed.

At that moment, he did not dare to slack off at all. He quickly adjusted the fighting spirit in his body, slowly spread out his hands, and two flames of different colors quickly gathered and merged.

"Buddha's Angry Fire Lotus!"

Xiao Yan shouted loudly, his voice like thunder, shaking the surrounding mountains slightly.

In an instant, a gorgeous and terrifying fire lotus quickly took shape in his hand. The flames on the fire lotus showed strange colors, red with purple, purple with black, the colors intertwined together, as if it was the devil's flame from the depths of hell, exuding a chilling breath. The space around the fire lotus became distorted due to the high temperature, like a mirror being broken, with irregular cracks appearing, as if the world could not bear the power of the fire lotus.

Xiao Yan pushed his hands hard and threw the fire lotus in his hand towards Ye Xishui's blood ball. The fire lotus kept spinning and expanding in the air. With each rotation, its power seemed to increase a bit. Wherever it passed, the space was burned with shocking black cracks. The cracks were like dark mouths, as if the world was torn open, exuding a creepy breath.

At the moment when the fire lotus and the blood ball were about to collide, the whole world seemed to be quiet, and everyone's eyes were fixed on these two destructive energy balls. Xiao Yan's eyes were firm, and he secretly prayed that the Buddha's wrath lotus could withstand Ye Xishui's crazy revenge; while Ye Xishui's face was ferocious, and his eyes were full of hatred for Xiao Yan, wishing to turn him into ashes in an instant.

"boom!"

A deafening roar broke the brief silence, and the fire lotus and the blood ball collided violently in mid-air.

In an instant, a dazzling light burst out, so strong that people could not open their eyes at all, as if the whole world was filled with this dazzling light. The powerful energy fluctuations were centered on the collision point, and like surging waves, they spread wildly in all directions.

Xiao Yan only felt an overwhelming force rushing towards him, and his body flew backwards involuntarily.

His feet drew a long arc on the ground, trying to stabilize his body, but he found that he could not withstand the huge impact force at all, and finally fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. A trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, his face was slightly pale, but his eyes still revealed his unyielding and tenaciousness.

Ye Xishui was not much better off, she was also knocked back by this force. The light of the Blood Soul Demon Puppet's martial soul body dimmed a lot, and the dark red runes on its body flickered, as if they would go out at any time.

Her face was pale and her chest was heaving violently. It was obvious that she had suffered some serious injuries from the collision just now, but the murderous intent in her eyes had not diminished in the slightest.

But before she could recover, the remaining power of Xiao Yan's Buddha's Wrath Lotus surged again, and the hot and violent power seemed to devour her completely. Ye Xishui widened her eyes in horror, and she could truly feel that with her current state, she would definitely not be able to withstand the fatal impact that followed.

At this critical moment, a dark shadow rushed over like a ghost. It was Long Xiaoyao. A strong dark aura permeated his body, and a pair of huge black wings behind him flapped rapidly, bringing up a gust of wind.

Long Xiaoyao's eyes were grim, and a black light flashed in his hand. A black spear instantly appeared, with runes flickering on the spear body, surging with powerful dark power.

"Humph, it's not that easy to hurt her!" Long Xiaoyao shouted, his voice like a bell, shaking the air. He thrust his spear forward, and black energy surged out from the tip of the spear, like a roaring black dragon, crashing fiercely into the remaining power of the Buddha's wrathful lotus.

At the same time, Ye Xishui also endured the pain and mobilized the remaining soul power again. He danced with his hands, and the Blood Soul Demon Puppet also moved with it. Its hands quickly moved in the air, bringing up a blood mist. In the blood mist, blood-red soul beams shot towards the surging energy, trying to help Long Xiaoyao resist it. With the concerted efforts of the two, the remaining power of the Buddha's Wrath Lotus was finally resisted with difficulty. The violent energy raged in front of them, raising smoke and dust all over the sky. The earth was shaken violently, and cracks spread like spider webs.

However, Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui looked at each other and saw a trace of panic in each other's eyes. They knew very well that the strength displayed by Xiao Yan's attack was too terrifying. Even if they worked together to resist this time, if they continued to fight, they would have no chance of winning. What's more, after this battle, both of them were seriously injured. If they continued to fight, their lives would be in danger.

"Let's go!" Long Xiaoyao made a prompt decision and shouted. He flashed and came to Ye Xishui's side, grabbed her arm, and flapped his black wings behind him, carrying the two of them like black lightning and rushing towards the distance. Their figures disappeared in an instant, leaving only a messy battlefield and Xiao Yan's slightly stunned face.

After Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao escaped, the smoke on the battlefield gradually dissipated, but the pungent smell of dust and blood still lingered in the air.

Xiao Yan looked at the direction they left, his eyes were deep, and he was secretly alert in his heart, knowing that these two people would become a big trouble in the future if they escaped. But at this moment, he had no time to care too much, and turned to walk towards Bing Di and Xue Di.

Although Ice Queen and Snow Queen had consumed a lot of energy in the fierce battle with Long Xiaoyao, they were fortunately not in danger of losing their lives. When they saw Xiao Yan approaching, they nodded slightly, and each other's eyes were filled with relief for surviving the catastrophe. At this moment, a deep and powerful beast roar came from a distance, breaking the moment of silence.

Xiao Yan and others looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Di Tian leading a group of ferocious beasts slowly approaching.

As the king of beasts, Di Tian was huge and exuded a majestic aura. His golden eyes were like the scorching sun, making people dare not look directly at him. Behind him were the Red King who was good at controlling fire, the Zi Ji who was agile and had amazing speed, and the Bi Ji who could stir up huge waves, and other powerful beasts.

Di Tian walked in front of Xiao Yan and bowed his head slightly. His huge body showed a hint of respect. He said in a deep voice: "Human, today is all thanks to you. If you hadn't turned the tide and fought desperately with those evil soul masters, I'm afraid we would have died here. This life-saving grace, I, Di Tian, ​​will remember in my heart."

After saying this, the ferocious beasts behind him also roared in agreement, expressing their gratitude to Xiao Yan.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan quickly returned the greeting and said humbly, "You are too polite, Beast God. Today's battle is about the life and death of all parties. I am just doing my duty. Besides, those evil soul masters have been causing trouble to the world for a long time. They should have been eliminated as soon as possible."

“Human, today you saved the life of my soul beast clan. We have no way to repay you for such a great kindness. If you need any help, just let us know. As long as it is something that our soul beast clan can do, we will do our best to help.” Di Tian’s huge and majestic body slowly stepped forward, his dragon eyes revealing deep gratitude and respect, and he stared at Xiao Yan and said.

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Beast God, to be honest, I'm in urgent need of a treasure that can restore my soul power. I've heard that the Gold of Life is extremely beneficial to the restoration of soul power. I wonder if your soul beast clan knows where it is?"

After hearing this, Di Tian frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "The gold of life... may be at the bottom of the Lake of Life. The gold of life you need may be there. However, the Lake of Life is the holy land of my soul beast clan. I need to ask about this matter, so please wait for a while."

Deep in the soul beasts' habitat, the Lake of Life is like a bright pearl, emitting a mysterious and charming light. The lake water is clear and transparent, but it also has a deep blue color, as if it contains endless mysteries.

The lake surface was sparkling, and occasionally strange energy fluctuations would cause ripples that spread out in all directions. Around the lake, various rare spiritual plants grew, their branches and leaves swaying gently in the breeze, as if guarding this holy land.

Xiao Yan's figure was as fast as lightning, rushing towards the Lake of Life filled with a mysterious atmosphere. Along the way, the wind whistled in his ears, but his eyes were as firm as a rock, with only one thought in his mind: to obtain the Gold of Life and help Alex wake up.

As he approached the Lake of Life, a strong breath of life came over him. The lake water was sparkling, seemingly calm but full of mysteries. Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Yan tapped the ground with his toes and shot into the lake like a falling meteor.

In an instant, the biting cold came from all directions, as if to freeze his body. But Xiao Yan's Dou Qi quickly circulated, forming a light Dou Qi shield to resist the cold.

He sank down, his eyes as sharp as torches, and carefully searched for traces of the gold of life at the bottom of the lake. The world at the bottom of the lake was dark and silent, with only the faint sound of water flowing when Xiao Yan swam. Suddenly, a faint golden light flashed in the distance, and Xiao Yan was delighted and swam over faster.

A fist-sized golden crystal was seen floating on a huge rock at the bottom of the lake. The surrounding lake water seemed to contain a richer life force because of it. This was the gold of life. Xiao Yan carefully stretched out his hand and slowly approached.

The moment his fingers touched the gold of life, a powerful force surged out of the gold nugget, trying to break free from his control. Xiao Yan's eyes condensed, and his fighting spirit burst out with all his strength, tightly grasping the gold of life, then turned around and swam hard towards the lake.

The moment he broke through the water, Xiao Yan took a deep breath of fresh air. He looked around, and in a flash, he ran towards a dense forest in the distance. Deep in the forest, he found a hidden cave. After confirming that there was no danger around, Xiao Yan entered the cave and sat cross-legged at the bottom of the cave.

He placed the Life Gold in front of him, took a deep breath, and quickly formed a complex seal with his hands. As the seal changed, the Dou Qi in Xiao Yan's body rushed out, like a series of agile little dragons, entwining the Life Gold. At first, the Life Gold was still struggling, constantly releasing resistance, but Xiao Yan's Dou Qi continued to pour in, gradually suppressing her resistance.

The refining process was not easy. Xiao Yan's forehead was covered with sweat and his teeth were clenched. Every time he guided his Dou Qi to impact the internal structure of the Soul Gold, it was like wrestling with a powerful opponent. But he had a firm belief in his heart. For Alex, he would never give up.

As time went by, the gold of life slowly began to melt and turned into a ball of golden liquid, floating in front of Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan controlled his fighting spirit and gradually compressed the liquid, extracting the purest energy from it.

Outside the cave, the sky gradually darkened, and the roars of wild beasts could be heard from time to time in the forest, but Xiao Yan in the cave was immersed in the critical stage of refining, and was completely unaware of everything in the outside world. His shirt was already soaked with sweat, his face was slightly pale, but his eyes were getting brighter.

Finally, after a long period of hard work, the gold of life was completely refined and turned into a powerful and pure life force, which Xiao Yan carefully put into a special jade bottle. He breathed a sigh of relief and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

After a short rest, Xiao Yan took out the soul crystal of Alex from the ring. The crystal emitted a faint light, and the image of Alex's soul was looming in it. Xiao Yan gently poured the life force in the jade bottle onto the crystal, muttering something in his mouth, guiding this force to slowly merge into Alex's soul.

In an instant, the crystal shone brightly, and the image of Alex's soul became clearer, and a powerful soul wave emanated from the crystal. Xiao Yan's eyes were full of anticipation, staring at the crystal closely, waiting for Alex to wake up. (End of this chapter)
