He, Leave Him to Me

"Found it"

His words were chilling, carrying boundless killing intent.

An Lin narrowed his fox-like eyes, looking in the direction where he had just been touched.

"I just didn't expect you to dare to spy so blatantly. Is that bravery or ignorance?"

But...

"Whatever it is, now that we've found it, then... you can't escape."

Merlo Heavenly Court

Fu Hua comforted the trembling Cang Xiaoxuan, stroking her hair repeatedly.

"It's alright, Xiao Xuan. Can you tell me what you just saw?"

"Waaaaah! I... I saw a scene, very, very red, it was terrifying, and a pair of golden eyes! Fu Hua, let's get out of here quickly! I can feel that he's coming for us!"

Golden eyes, red space

Fu Hua thought it over, but still couldn't figure out who it was; it didn't seem to be someone she knew.

Beside him, Hexi fell into deep thought.

"If what Xiao Xuan saw is really as it appears, then I think we're in real trouble."

What does that mean?

"What I gave Xiao Xuan is an ability similar to the Eye of Insight. Although she manifests it differently, the function is similar. Under normal circumstances, it should only be able to see data from people with lower strength and lower genetic level than oneself. However, I found that this does not apply to Xiao Xuan."

Hexi slowly began to speak.

When she first met Cang Xiaoxuan, she realized that this seemed to be a puppet driven by a technology she was unaware of.

Not the artificial human kind, but a doll.

Hexi could also drive a puppet, but she couldn't achieve the same agility as Cang Xiaoxuan, as if a real soul truly resided within it, so lifelike and vivid, as if the puppet were alive.

Whether it's physical structure or internal driving energy, these are things that Hexi doesn't understand. It seems that there are really too many mysterious things in this world.

As she mentioned earlier, once the Eye of Insight is programmed and then incorporated into Cang Xiaoxuan's database, it becomes another function.

To Hexi and the others, this was the Eye of Insight; to Cang Xiaoxuan, it became the Eye of Truth.

See through the essence, reach the inner self

This is an inner truth that even some people cannot comprehend.

It can see a person's true nature, a truly terrifying ability.

Just like now, in Cang Xiaoxuan's eyes, Fu Hua was a phoenix made of thunder and fire, sometimes surging and roaring in the Huo Yun, sometimes resting peacefully.

When she is surging, it represents her anger; when she is calm, it represents her tranquility.

The crimson space that Cang Xiaoxuan saw was the essence of the An Lin, filled with bloody hearts, an ugliness that could not be concealed no matter how it was disguised.

This is a breakthrough that transcends one's own strength.

"She can see into anyone's heart, regardless of their strength. If, as Xiao Xuan just saw, he's after you, then I think you'd better leave as soon as possible; he's very dangerous."

Fu Hua remained silent. She thought about many things, including Cang Xiaoxuan and Ji Lin, and the promise she had made to Hexi.

A promise is a promise, and one remains steadfast as a mountain.

It seemed to have become her rule, but... it wasn't her only rule.

If it endangers someone's life, she will still disobey without hesitation.

Cang Xiaoxuan seemed to have seen through Fu Hua's determination, and said firmly again, "If it's Fu Hua's own decision, I, and we will all support you, as long as you remain steadfast in your beliefs and be yourself."

Whether it's Ji Lin, Cang Xuan, Danzhu, or even Cang Xiaoxuan who has been given life, none of them want to see Fu Hua go against his own heart for their sake.

Do as you please

They only hoped that Fu Hua would remain the same.

Fu Hua stared intently at Cang Xiaoxuan, her eyes swirling with emotion, momentarily struggling with her feelings.

This struggle was seen by Cang Xiaoxuan, like the rising sun, shining brightly in the morning light.

Fu Hua's first other romantic relationship was a thousand years ago. Back then, they could still laugh and joke with the people in harmony, but since then, Fu Hua has never laughed again.

"It's okay. Whatever we face, we'll be there for you."

Cang Xiaoxuan's small hand grasped Fu Hua's slender palm. It was so small, yet it warmed Fu Hua's heart.

The Xuanyuan Sword at her waist also swayed, conveying her feelings.

Yes! These are the Fu Hua wants to protect, but it is also because of this protection that her confidence and her determination to never back down, no matter what kind of enemy she faces, have been eroded.

"Thanks"

He wrapped his arms around Cang Xiaoxuan and pulled him into his embrace.

Thank you, thank you for letting me find my heart again, the heart that will not back down no matter how strong the enemy, because... now they are standing behind me.

Ji Lin, Xiao Xuan, thank you!

"Everything will remain the same. I will keep my promise. Leave that person to me." Fu Hua instantly concealed all her emotions, her expression returning to calm once more.

This time, however, Cang Xiaoxuan knew that she had returned, that Crimson Kite had returned.

Hexi smiled slightly, then her expression turned serious. "Alright, just focus on dealing with that person. You don't need to worry about the rest."

She also has her own pride, and some things should ultimately not be left to outsiders.

Moreover, that person also seemed to be connected to Death God Karl, so the promise had not been broken.

The battle between the Taotie Vanguard Ship and the Hexi's Guard was still a one-sided affair, but the Taotie had the numbers and were not afraid of death, which actually brought the situation to a stalemate.

Meanwhile, Hua Ye and the others also began their operation, with Ruoning and Sumali leading several male angels forward.

Occasionally, they would strike and kill a few guardsmen along the way.

Inside the supply ship

An Lin Sneers

"These little mice are quite clever, using the Taotie as bait while saving themselves the effort, humph!"

He rubbed his smooth chin, his expression disdainful yet languid.

"However, my target hasn't appeared yet. What am I waiting for? Or... whatever it is, to avoid any unforeseen complications, it's best to end this as soon as possible. If the people of other God Tomb find out what I've done, the resources of this dimension will be divided up again, which would be a loss for them."

The struggle for resources has long been a top priority for all races. The stronger a race is, the more resources it needs, and the stronger and more numerous the competitors will become.

Judging from An Lin's tone, no one in the God Tomb knew about his presence here, meaning he was acting alone.

An Lin stood up, his body seemingly motionless, yet he instantly appeared in the outside universe, standing in mid-air, oblivious to the battlefield, strolling leisurely and carefree.

Inside the Merlo Heavenly Court, in front of the three-dimensional sand table, Hexi suddenly appeared and said, "You've arrived."

The red dots representing the enemy, vividly scarlet, appear abruptly on the battlefield, their presence completely undisguised.

It seemed like an invitation, but also like a provocation.

"What's wrong with him?"

"He's waiting for me," Fu Hua said softly.

Cang Xiaoxuan turned her head to look at Fu Hua, her eyes solemn, and patted her small chest.

"Fu Hua, don't worry! Leave the rear to me, there won't be any problems."

Fu Hua chuckled and said, "Okay."

Three minutes ago

"Hmm? Still not coming out? Hehe! Well then, let's play some music." An Lin spread his arms as if to embrace something.

With a slight curl of the fingertips, an invisible force extends.

Invisible and unseen, it stretches throughout the universe, unknown and imperceptible to all.

Like a spider web, it spread out, enveloping and connecting everyone on the battlefield.

"Spirit Devouring Spider Web"

The net is invisible, the blood leaves no trace.

The encroachment begins

The war stopped abruptly, or rather, it had to stop.

Everyone lost control of their bodies, and the universe fell into silence.

"What happened?" Hua Ye exclaimed in surprise.

No one could answer that, or rather, they themselves didn't know why.

The Spirit Devouring Spider Web bound the heart of the war, forcing it to a halt, but that wasn't its purpose; its purpose was...

"Devour! Let these beings become your nourishment, expand endlessly, and find nowhere to hide."

Devouring, what is each spider web sucking up?

That was the essence of life; the spiderweb began to expand, spreading out of the center of the war and outwards.

Countless lives were lost, countless corpses became food for spider webs—a silent massacre.

Someone was screaming, but the sound couldn't travel through the vacuum of space; it was gradually swallowed up by the void.

An Lin's arms were still outstretched, savoring the glory of this moment.

"Ah~ Ah~ This is really good, indeed very good. The life essence of the people in this world is truly delicious. It was worth all the extra time I spent raising them."

Captive breeding

He is raising the creatures of this world to become his food.

Horrible, extremely terrifying

Inside the Taotie Vanguard Ship, the commander was already panicked. The rate of death was even faster than when fighting angels, and it was no longer just a matter of numbers; this was pure slaughter.

"Why? Why would my god Carl send such a person? Does he not distinguish between friend and foe?"

"But, but I feel like he did it on purpose."

"Don't talk nonsense, how could my god Carl abandon us?"

"Yes, yes, it must be because we were within that person's attack range that we were affected."

"Then why don't you order a retreat immediately? If this continues, our entire army will be wiped out here."

The Taotie Vanguard Ship began to turn, accelerating to maximum speed, and retreated.

An Lin raised an eyebrow and gave a wicked smile.

"Did I say we could leave now?"

The Spirit Devouring Spider Web bound them again, its suction force even stronger.

"Commander, we can't escape!"

"Hateful!"

A net of heaven and earth, devouring souls and lives, infiltrating everywhere, leaving no escape for the enemy.

He had no intention of letting anyone on the battlefield escape.

Ruoning's expression changed drastically, and black wings unfurled behind her, flashing desperately.

"Retreat quickly, he doesn't intend to let anyone on the battlefield escape."

Whether it was Sumali or the other male angels, even Hua Ye, who was inside the ship, had several changes in expression as they drove the ship with all their might to leave this star field.

"Hahaha! Run away! Run away! When hope turns to despair, I'd love to savor your souls; they must be delicious!"

Inside the Merlo Heavenly Court, Hexi and Fu Hua looked solemn, both shocked by what this person had done.

"This person doesn't distinguish between friend and foe; he wants to kill everyone," Hexi said, frowning.

"Are you familiar with this power?" Fu Hua asked He Xi.

This doesn't look like a technological force at all.

"Hmm? Indeed, upon closer reflection, this power is far more terrifying than anything I've ever known. When did Carl develop this kind of power?"

Cang Xiaoxuan pondered with a troubled expression, "No, no matter how you look at it, this seems somewhat like the power in the Taixu Realm, but it also seems different."

Fu Hua nodded.

"Indeed different. This person should also be from the God Tomb."

"The God Tomb?" Hexi asked in surprise.

"They're not from this world, and I don't know the specifics, but their strength is basically at the peak of this world's power, and they seem to have some ulterior motive," Fu Hua slowly explained.

"That might be difficult! In that case, we may not be able to help you."

After all, the power systems are different, and it's a complete reversal of strength. If Kaisha were still alive, there would still be a chance. Even if Hexi has the Sky-based Computing Cluster, the help she can provide is very limited.

"It's alright, you just need to hold this position."

Fu Hua looked up at the sky.

"He's in my hands."

P. S.: I'm back again. This book by the procrastinator will absolutely not be abandoned, it just will be updated for a long time.
