Su Xi stared at the dense black threads before her, knowing that if she merely kept retreating, she might evade danger for a while but couldn't avoid it every single time.
These formidable black threads, with just a moment of carelessness, could entangle her.
Once caught, she wouldn't know how to cope and would face peril.
Therefore, evasion was never the best solution. Only by taking the initiative could the problem be resolved.
Su Xi had no intention of concealing her strength. She drew the Meteor God Sword from her person, intending to end this quickly.
She poured her spiritual energy into the Meteor God Sword with all her might, and the blade emitted a dazzling red glow. Seeing this, Su Xi unhesitatingly unleashed the Solar True Fire in her hand.
"Rumble~"
Flames erupted instantly, engulfing the black threads. In a flash, all the black threads melted away, unable to approach.
"How could this be?"
He Ba stared at the scene before him, his eyes nearly bulging out, utterly disbelieving what he was seeing.
His black threads could withstand bullets, yet they were burned away by a mere wisp of flame?
Impossible, he must be dreaming.
※=○☆(＿＿*)zzz
"What kind of flame is this?" He Ba looked at Su Xi, wanting to know what had happened.
Su Xi looked at He Ba, a cold smile curling her lips, "This is a flame for grilling, and you'll get to experience it firsthand."
Since her attack had been effective, Su Xi certainly wouldn't stop halfway. She prepared to press her advantage.
With a surge of power in her hand, a stream of flames shot towards He Ba.
He Ba had no spiritual energy and relied entirely on the Gu worms he had cultivated to deal with enemies. Now, his Gu worms were useless against Su Xi, and he had lost his threat.
Facing the incoming flames, though the flames were not intense, he knew his physical body could not withstand them.
For his own safety, he controlled his Gu worms to form a fleshy wall in front of him, hoping to block Su Xi's flames and buy himself a sliver of survival.
But Su Xi's flames were not ordinary worldly fires; they couldn't be blocked so easily.
With just one touch, all the Gu worms turned to ash and scattered in the wind.
The flames, no longer obstructed, continued their flight towards He Ba.
"No!" He Ba let out a furious roar as he saw the flames approaching.
But he was helpless. Under the scorching heat of the Solar True Fire, he instantly turned into ashes.
The scene was too shocking. The people around them hadn't even registered what was happening before witnessing a live-action cremation.
They hadn't expected to witness a murder with their own eyes, and in such a manner.
Su Xi looked at the stunned crowd around her, her gaze turning icy. She had played with these people for long enough; it was time to leave. Otherwise, it would be bad if it delayed her important matters.
Since her body wasn't sealed, her memories weren't stripped away. She had known since early this morning that she was trapped in an illusion and that the key to breaking it was to find the mastermind.
Now that the mastermind had been dealt with, she had, in a sense, completed her mission.
"Open!"
Su Xi shouted and raised the Meteor God Sword in her hand, slashing it towards the sky.
"Screech!"
The Meteor God Sword tore through the sky, splitting the entire building in half and revealing a dark space. A powerful suction emanated from the space, causing everything around to shatter.
As the black hole appeared, a powerful gravitational pull emanated from within. Su Xi was drawn in, offering no resistance, allowing her body to be sucked into it.
She could feel that the black hole was the exit from this environment.
Outside the peach blossom forest.
Lan Ling and Mo Li were observing Su Xi and Xu Qing Ning about to turn into peach trees when they suddenly saw Su Xi's body move, floating upwards.
"Success!"
Seeing the change in Su Xi's body, Lan Ling's heart surged with excitement.
Previously, others trapped in the formation had exhibited the same bodily changes. Thus, seeing Su Xi's body transform, she instinctively assumed Su Xi was also trapped in the formation.
Once Su Xi turned into a peach tree, they would soon gather the ten thousand peach trees.
As Lan Ling was filled with excitement, she failed to notice Mo Li beside her spitting out blood, his aura growing significantly weaker.
Su Xi's body floated in the air, and suddenly, her eyes opened.
As their eyes met, a flicker of confusion crossed Lan Ling's.
What was happening?
"Hello there!"
Looking at Su Xi, who was speaking, Lan Ling felt utterly speechless, unable to fathom what had occurred.
Everything had proceeded according to plan. Why was Su Xi unharmed?
"Mo Li, what's going on?" Lan Ling turned, intending to question Mo Li.
But when she turned, she saw Mo Li covered in blood, clearly having sustained severe injuries.
Su Xi smiled and walked up to Lan Ling, saying, "Are you curious why I'm unharmed?"
Lan Ling nodded, waiting for Su Xi to continue.
This formation had never failed before. Why, when it came to Su Xi, had it changed? What exactly had Su Xi done?
Su Xi touched the Meteor God Sword in her hand and looked at Lan Ling, "You want to know, and the readers want to know, but I don't have to tell you. I've already dragged on for so many words; if I keep rambling, I won't be able to account for myself."
With that, Su Xi instantly raised the Meteor God Sword, preparing to deal with Lan Ling.
Lan Ling, despite being the most intelligent of the spirit race, possessed no combat ability. Therefore, as long as the formation was broken, dealing with her would be effortless.
"No," Mo Li saw Lan Ling in danger and immediately stepped in front of her.
He seemed to say, kill me first.
He could be harmed, but Lan Ling absolutely could not.
Su Xi looked at this touching scene and shook her head helplessly, "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't worry, neither of you will escape."
This was a fantasy novel, not a melodrama where love conquers all.
Did they really think some self-moving love could resolve everything?
These people dared to harm her, so they definitely wouldn't survive. The only difference between these two was whether they died early or late.
Mo Li looked at Su Xi, his eyes filled with determination, "I know my actions are damnable, but Lan Ling is innocent. Can you spare her? She knows nothing."
Su Xi couldn't help but laugh when she heard Mo Li's words.
Did he really think she was a fool?
If Lan Ling hadn't been by his side advising him, she wouldn't believe Mo Li would do this.
Transforming his entire being into these ten thousand acres of peach blossoms and being confined there for a lifetime. No one but a fool would do this. Mo Li, unless he was completely insane, wouldn't do something so self-destructive.
Seeing Mo Li before her, who was clearly a normal person, she knew he wouldn't do such a thing.
