Chapter 193: Xiaowu's Sacrifice in the Crushing Defeat of the Azure Oxpython_2

```

However, would Qin Xiao give it an opportunity?

The answer is negative.

All one could see was the Soul Rings lighting up on Qin Xiao's body, and he had disappeared from where he stood.

Teleporting!

The Azure Oxpython sensed a bad omen.

It couldn't see Qin Xiao, nor could it even feel his presence.

Whoosh.

The next second, the Azure Oxpython felt a blur before its eyes as the figure of Qin Xiao appeared atop its massive head.

Before it could react, a heavy left punch came thundering down.

Boom!

The Azure Oxpython felt as if thunder had exploded within its head.

Its brain seemed to shatter, leaving its mind blank and its body senseless.

The huge body fell straight into the Lake of Life.

"That's it?" Qin Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

The combat power of the Azure Oxpython was far too weak.

Wasn't it said that the Azure Oxpython should be the strongest land soul beast in Soul Land?

However,

He had overlooked one thing.

It wasn't that the Azure Oxpython was too weak, but that he was too strong.

After all, strong as it may be, the Azure Oxpython's cultivation was only around 200,000 years.

But what about Qin Xiao?

He had slain Yu Yuanzhen and severely injured Tang Chen. By now, he could be counted among the very pinnacle of individuals in Soul Land.

With few adversaries.

"Then let it end."

With a flash in his eyes, Qin Xiao descended from the sky, plunging into the Lake of Life.

The water churned incessantly, as if it were boiling.

At the same time, the pitiful screams of the Azure Oxpython emanated from the lake.

In a short period of time, Qin Xiao's figure emerged from the water.

He was holding onto the Azure Oxpython's horn, hauling its massive head out of the lake surface.

Soon,

The Azure Oxpython's body, stretching over a dozen meters in length, was pulled out of the water.

"Plop."

Coming ashore, Qin Xiao flung the Azure Oxpython forcefully onto the ground.

Dust rose in all directions, but the Azure Oxpython remained motionless.

However, there was still a glint in its eyes, and its chest heaved with ragged breaths.

Clearly, it was not yet dead.

But it had sustained severe injuries.

"Just kill me," said the Azure Oxpython, its voice resolute.

"No," Qin Xiao shook his head slightly, "the person who wants your Soul Rings and soul bones is not me."

"Then who is it?" The Azure Oxpython first questioned in confusion, then was struck with horror.

It suddenly remembered the woman who had come with Qin Xiao, who was now nowhere to be seen.

"Xiaowu! What have you done to Xiaowu?"

It felt a sudden sinking in its heart.

"Xiaowu? She has just returned, hasn't she?"

As Qin Xiao spoke, he looked towards the distance.

The Azure Oxpython also struggled to look that way.

There, in the direction of his gaze, the woman had returned, and Xiaowu was being held in their hands.

"Isn't having me enough? Must you exterminate us completely to be satisfied?"

Anguish filled the Azure Oxpython's voice.

It had thought that by distracting Qin Xiao and the others, Xiaowu could leave safely. It had not expected Xiaowu to be recaptured.

Damn it!

"Snap."

Liu Erlong casually threw Xiaowu beside the Azure Oxpython.

"Da Ming, are you okay?" Xiaowu asked with concern.

The Azure Oxpython did not reply, but kept sighing continuously.

It realized that it was all over.

Everything was over.

The anniversary of its and Xiaowu's demise would, perhaps, fall on this day next year.

"Qin Xiao, why won't you let me go?" Xiaowu's gaze was filled with venom as she looked at Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao laughed: "I have only one question. If one day our roles were reversed, when Tang San and his son have the opportunity to bring about my death, what would your feelings be?"

Without a moment's hesitation, Xiaowu answered, "Of course, I'd feel tremendous exhilaration. I wish I could eat your flesh, drink your blood, and offer your head to Er Ming."

Xiaowu held nothing back, madly releasing her hatred.

Not a day had passed in that year when she hadn't wished for Qin Xiao's death.

"Very well," Qin Xiao nodded with satisfaction, "in that case, why should I spare you? Exterminating you completely, I feel no guilt in my heart.

And what right do you have to ask me to spare you?"

Ah, this!

Xiaowu was suddenly at a loss for words.

She did not know how to defend herself.

```

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, why'd you stop talking?"

Qin Xiao asked with interest, "Have you realized that you're being hypocritical? You really do learn from the company you keep..."

"Enough, I don't want to hear another word from you. Kill or flay me, it's up to you, but Da Ming is innocent, I beg you to spare him!"

As she spoke, Xiaowu's attitude softened slightly.

Yet Qin Xiao shook his head slightly, "Is that how you ask for a favor?"

"Then what do you want?"

"You're asking me, what do you think?"

After hearing Qin Xiao's words, a mix of emotions flickered across Xiaowu's face.

Instinctively, she glanced at the Azure Oxpython beside her.

It was too tragic.

To think that Da Ming used to be the undisputed dominator of the Aquipeia Forest, an imposing presence.

But now?

It was too tragic.

The Azure Oxpython's scales were falling off in large patches, blood constantly seeping from its nostrils and mouth, even one of its horns was broken off.

It lay on the ground, powerless, its eyes devoid of their former spirit.

It was hard to imagine the pain Da Ming had suffered.

Xiaowu felt like her heart was bleeding.

"Thud."

Suddenly, Xiaowu knelt down before Qin Xiao, lowering her proud head, "Qin Xiao, I'm begging you, as long as you let Da Ming live, I'll do anything you want."

"Really anything?" Qin Xiao asked, somewhat amused.

"Xiaowu, don't."

"I'm not worth it," the Azure Oxpython said with a sigh, "We, the Soul Beast Clan, have our own dignity, we'd rather die standing than live on our knees."

However, Xiaowu paid no attention to what the Azure Oxpython said, lifting her head, her gaze steady as she nodded to Qin Xiao, "Yes, as long as you can spare Da Ming, I'm willing to do anything. Even if..."

Some words were too shameful for her to voice.

But those who understood, understood.

"Haha, alright," Qin Xiao laughed.

"Then I'll give you an opportunity," Qin Xiao said, pointing to Liu Erlong at his side, "Then sacrifice yourself to her."

"What!"

Xiaowu was stunned.

She hadn't expected Qin Xiao to make such a request.

Qin Xiao spoke with a smile that was not quite a smile, "What's wrong, you don't want to? Or do you have some inappropriate thoughts about me?"

"I, I don't..."

Xiaowu shook her head in slight panic.

"Xiaowu, don't sacrifice yourself to her..."

The Azure Oxpython desperately objected.

"Da Ming, we have no other choice," Xiaowu said dejectedly, "Maybe death is better, it would be a release for me. Otherwise, I'll keep living in the guilt of Er Ming dying because of me, and in endless hatred...

At the same time, within this endless hatred, I feel extremely powerless, I have no ability to take revenge, I'm useless.

Life like this is torture for me every day. I've really had enough..."

Xiaowu said and was already in tears.

Teardrops glistened in the giant eyes of the Azure Oxpython.

All of Xiaowu's actions were clear to it.

It was just as Xiaowu had said, she was in despair, her cultivation level hadn't improved at all during the past year.

"I've already had to watch Er Ming die before my eyes, I can't bear to see you die too."

"So please, don't stop me anymore, okay?"

Xiaowu's voice was filled with pleading.

"Sigh."

With a deep sigh that conveyed more than words ever could, the Azure Oxpython said nothing and simply closed its eyes in despair.

It had to abide by Xiaowu's decision.

"Er Long, can you accept it?"

At this moment, Qin Xiao quietly asked Liu Erlong.

Liu Erlong nodded silently to Qin Xiao.

There was nothing she couldn't accept.

Xiaowu, although transformed from a soul beast, was essentially still a soul beast.

Besides...

She had heard the entire conversation clearly.

Xiaowu's hatred for Qin Xiao was etched deep in her heart.

Their mutual enmity had reached an irreconcilable depth.

So Xiaowu was her enemy as well, Liu Erlong. Even if Qin Xiao, harbouring kind thoughts, wanted to give Xiaowu a chance to live, she would not agree.

She knew that showing mercy to an enemy was cruelty to oneself.

Seeing this, Qin Xiao had no more doubts in his mind.

He said to Xiaowu, "You may begin..."

In fact, Qin Xiao had a purpose in doing this.

Soul beast sacrifice could fully absorb the benefits brought by a hundred-thousand-year soul beast and was without any danger.

Furthermore, after Xiaowu's sacrifice, she would turn into a small rabbit, which could be quite a show-off...
