Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 295 - 296: Whispers (part 1) [5/10]

However, before Xue Tianao could bask in the joy of surviving the calamity, a black demonic spear suddenly flew through the air. With overwhelming force, it pierced through the golden silhouette, soaring into the sky, and launched a fierce attack toward Xue Tianao!

"What... what is that?! That damn demonic spear?!!"

In an instant, joy was replaced by an endless sense of terror.

Guided by the instinct for survival, Xue Tianao hurriedly attempted to mobilize his powers to defend himself. However, the speed at which the demonic spear attacked completely surpassed Xue Tianao’s expectations.

Before Xue Tianao could gather the divine power for defense, the laughing demonic spear pierced directly through his abdomen, shattering his spine in an instant...

Once again, Xue Tianao, severely wounded, let out a heart-wrenching cry. The acceleration granted by his divine power abruptly ceased, and Xue Tianao plummeted from the sky, crashing onto a collapsing high-rise outside the palace...

Struggling to climb up from the ground, Xue Tianao’s face twisted with fear. From time to time, he anxiously looked toward the direction of the palace behind him.

Strictly speaking, the attack of the demonic spear just now did not inflict a fatal injury on him. But it effectively interrupted his acceleration. With his spine severely damaged, there was no way he could immediately recover. This meant he couldn’t go on a mad acceleration like before...

As Xue Tianao looked back at the gradually crumbling golden silhouette, his fear and unease intensified. After all, he knew very well that if he couldn’t seize this opportunity to escape, once his ultimate move was completely shattered, he would meet the same miserable death as in his past life...

"No... I... I can’t die..."

’Regenerate faster!’

’Regenerate, damn it!’

’Regenerate quickly!’

Dragging his half-intuitive body, Xue Tianao urged in his heart and exerted all his effort to tap into his divine power. Unfortunately, it seemed that due to his power nearing its limit, the regeneration speed was not satisfactory...

Seeing that the two Demon kings had already blasted the golden silhouette into a state of near collapse, Xue Tianao felt extremely anxious, like an ant on a molten lava...

And at that moment, as if sensing something, Xue Tianao’s eyes contracted suddenly.

"That... that aura, she’s actually coming?!"

At that moment, a glimmer of "survival" presented itself before his eyes, offering a ray of hope amidst the dire circumstances.

Swiftly turning his head, Xue Tianao looked at the two figures, one black and one Silver-white, rapidly approaching the palace. The flame of hope reignited in Xue Tianao’s heart.

"There... there’s a way..."

After revealing a twisted smile, Xue Tianao, dragging his temporarily paralyzed lower body, rushed toward the two approaching figures ahead...

With the unique resonance between him and Mengxi’s divine power, after breaking free from Xiao’s barrier, Xue Tianao quickly noticed the silver-haired girl rushing toward him from a short distance away, accompanied by the familiar black-haired figure.

’That girl...’

’Bloody Butterfly!’

The moment Xue Tianao saw the black figure, his eyes contracted abruptly. The tragic memory of being blown up last night played like a slideshow in his mind once again.

Although he had lost his little brother countless times today, the first time would always be the most deeply engraved in his heart.

And the one who would ultimately transform him into the " eunuch Hero" was none other than the black-haired girl standing not far away.

Moreover,

’She is an Abyssal Demon, a Demon king existence.’

’Considering the recent actions of her brother, the Duke of Black Rose, the large-scale attack by the Abyssal Demon army today, and the unexpected appearance of three Demon kings, it must all be related to her! She is the mastermind behind all of this!’

For a fleeting moment, an indescribable wave of resentment surged through Xue Tianao’s being, spreading like a relentless virus and multiplying within the depths of his heart. His once-glistening golden eyes now burned with a fiery blaze of pure hatred. Any trace of admiration he once held for the girl had evaporated, replaced by a profound emptiness and disdain.

However,

Setting aside the hatred...

Xue Tianao transformed into a golden meteor and rushed toward the black-haired girl ahead, not for revenge, but to control her!

Now that his spine was pierced by the demonic spear, Xue Tianao realized that he couldn’t escape on his own. Once the golden Divine Power was shattered, Xiao and the two Demon Kings would catch up to him soon and tear him to pieces.

In order to survive, he had to take action against Bloody Butterfly!

Even though he was full of wounds, under the blessing of his divine power, he still possessed the combat power of a High-stage 8th Tier! And his divine power had the ability to restrain Abyssal Demons! Even if he couldn’t deal with Xiao and the other two Demon Kings, defeating Bloody Butterfly shouldn’t be a difficult task!

She was nothing more than a newly-born Demon King!

Even if Bloody Butterfly had some hidden abilities, Xue Tianao, in his current state, was powerless to care.

In Xue Tianao’s perspective, choosing this seemingly weak Black Rose Young Lady as an opponent was still better than dealing with those three monsters behind her.

’Moreover, didn’t the system say that the "Soul Lock "Potion would take effect with a delay? Maybe it has already taken effect now. If that’s the case, it would be even easier for me to control Bloody Butterfly. As long as I can control her, I would have bargaining chips for negotiations with Xiao.’

’Apart from that, even if I couldn’t control Bloody Butterfly...’

After thinking of something, His gaze shifted to Mengxi, the Girl of Destiny, beside the black-haired girl. A cruel thought emerged in Xue Tianao’s mind.

Mengxi, too, was a target of hatred for Abyssal Demons, just like him. Perhaps he could divert the anger of the two Demon Kings behind him toward that woman!

"Sorry, Miss Mengxi..."

With this decision made in his heart, Xue Tianao suddenly infused his divine power behind him, further increasing his speed. With an overwhelming momentum, he pierced through the sky and launched a fierce assault toward the two figures not far away.

The two women who were once considered "exceptional" beauties in Xue Tianao’s eyes had now become disposable tools to help him escape.

In Xue Tianao’s mind, there were no other thoughts except "to survive."

Like that, a golden light broke through the darkness and rapidly approached the two figures...
