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

"So you have a suitable target in mind?"

Liu Erlong's eyes sparkled with a faint light.

"Of course."

Qin Xiao responded with a confident smile.

"How many years has that soul beast lived?"

"You'll find out if you come with me."

Having said that, Qin Xiao took Liu Erlong's hand and walked towards the depths of the Aquipeia Forest.

...

Meanwhile.

In the depths of the Aquipeia Forest.

The Lake of Life remained as verdant as ever, like a magnificent emerald gemstone.

"Xiaowu... "

"What are you thinking about?"

Just then, the lake water rippled, and a gigantic ox emerged from the water.

Undoubtedly, it was the overlord of the deep forest, the Azure Oxpython.

On the shore.

In a pink dress, Xiaowu's vacant eyes regained some luster, "Da Ming, it's been over a year since Xiaosan last came to see me. Do you think something happened to him?"

Worry was evident in Xiaowu's voice.

"Hmph, that guy..."

Upon hearing this, the Azure Oxpython huffed irritably.

"I don't know if he has troubles, but I know you might. You've been pining away this past year, getting so haggard, who knows how much."

Even though its tone wasn't nice, anyone could tell that it was concerned for Xiaowu.

"Da Ming, I'm fine..." Xiaowu shook her head.

Da Ming spoke with disappointment, "I really don't understand what's so good about that human. He hasn't come to see you for a whole year. He might as well have forgotten about you, and now he could be somewhere indulging in pleasures without a thought..."

At these words, Xiaowu's delicate body trembled violently, as if struck by lightning.

Her already pale face turned even paler.

In fact, Da Ming had voiced her own fears.

She had been to the human world and knew all too well how colorful and tempting it was.

There were distracting temptations everywhere.

"No, that's not possible, that's not possible." Xiaowu kept shaking her head.

She couldn't bring herself to accept such a truth.

She even dared not think about it for fear of being forgotten.

"Xiaowu, forget him..."

"Start over with your life."

The Azure Oxpython, not willing to give up, continued to urge.

But Xiaowu covered her ears with her hands and pressed her head against her knees.

"Sigh." The Azure Oxpython let out a heavy sigh.

Just as it was about to say something more, its expression suddenly changed.

The soul beasts of the forest conveyed a message to it through a special method.

"Strangers are coming!"

It lifted its massive head and looked towards a certain direction.

There, a man was leading a woman through the forest, both of them wearing relaxed and leisurely expressions.

It was as though they were on a stroll.

Damn. Could you two be serious, please? This is the heart of the Aquipeia Forest!

The Azure Oxpython's composure instantly crumbled, and it was about to strike to teach them a lesson.

But, the next moment, it stopped all movement.

"Wait, this is the deep part of the Aquipeia Forest. Is this really a place that ordinary Soul Masters can easily reach?"

"These two are up to something!"

"They must be strong Soul Masters!"

It instantly became alert.

Continuing to observe closely, it was shocked to find the face of the man began to overlap with a face from its memories.

Suddenly, it felt as if a chill shot straight up to the crown of its head.

"Qin Xiao, he, he, it's actually Qin Xiao!"

The Azure Oxpython was horrified.

It hadn't expected the Grim Reaper himself, Qin Xiao, to appear.

"Xiaowu, stop crying, hide quickly. Qin Xiao is here, I'll go distract him!"

The Azure Oxpython hurriedly sent a message to Xiaowu.

Then, it burst through the lake's surface, revealing its massive body right in front of Qin Xiao.

In such circumstances, at such a time, how could it not understand Qin Xiao's purpose?

It had to be for Soul Hunting.

Moreover, the target was likely either it or Xiaowu.

Of course, there was also the possibility that Qin Xiao won't choose and would take both.

"Isn't it a bit late now to be thinking of fleeing?"

From afar, Qin Xiao's lips curled into a mocking smile.

The reactions of the Azure Oxpython and Xiaowu were slower than he expected.

Now that they were within his sight, how could he let them escape?

With a mere thought, Qin Xiao vanished from his spot.

The next moment, he was above the Lake of Life.

Hovering over the Azure Oxpython's head.

"Tian Qing Ji Mie Lei Ting!"

Seeing this, the Azure Oxpython's eyes flashed with a fierce look, attacking with its strongest move.

Qin Xiao, no matter how powerful, could not just stand idly by.

Besides, it had to buy time for Xiaowu.

Boom! Crack!

The powerful soul skill hit Qin Xiao.

However.

This strike, powerful enough to annihilate a normal Titled Douluo in an instant, merely caused Qin Xiao to sway slightly, not affecting him at all.

"How is this possible... so monstrous?"

The Azure Oxpython was shocked.

It knew Qin Xiao was strong, but was his resilience really this outrageous?

To withstand its strongest soul skill as if it were nothing?

Big brother, even a symbolic spitting of blood would have made me feel a little better.

Undoubtedly, Qin Xiao's reaction made the Azure Oxpython feel that its hundreds of thousands of years of Cultivation Level had all gone to waste.

Such a defeat.

"What goes around comes around. Care to take one of my attacks?"

A cold smile appeared on Qin Xiao's lips, and at the same time, his left arm began to glow faintly as tremendous Soul Power gathered.

Such a terrifying aura! The Azure Oxpython's pupils contracted, and a sense of alarm filled it.

It was very clear that it couldn't withstand Qin Xiao's attack.

"Dodge it!"

That was its only thought.
