"Good, the end is in sight! Failure will not be tolerated!!"
"Yes! Su Luo's already covered with blood! She’s completely drenched in blood now!! This time, she will definitely die without a doubt!"
"Good! You guys have done well! You all will be greatly rewarded!" Leng Xiao laughed wildly.
Very quickly, Leng Xiao arrived at the center of the forest, where he saw Su Luo a hundred yards ahead of him.
At this moment, he was standing at the highest point in the center of the entire Blood Mist Forest, which granted him the best view of his surroundings, allowing him to clearly see everything that was happening ahead.
At this time, Leng Xiao saw Su Luo being cornered into the very center of the forest.
Wherever she ran, the ground beneath her was covered in blood, the crimson stains flowing onto the earth.
The withered old trees present along the path she ran were desperately absorbing blood from the ground. As they continued to suck the blood, their withered trunk and branches appeared to be reviving themselves as they proceeded to twist about slowly.
It wouldn’t make any difference if there was only one of this tree. However, there were countless of them present. These trees formed a circle as they all closed in on Su Luo!
"Good! Good! This is great!!" Leng Xiao’s eyes lit up upon seeing it, as his excitement reached a level that could not be described with words.
He saw Su Luo resist fiercely, ending in only futility. Those trees were huge, and the revived ones were extremely powerful.
Su Luo's small body was as small as a speck of dust compared to them. How could she resist?
Leng Xiao saw countless branches weave into a net, wrapping around Su Luo like a silkworm chrysalis. Su Luo swung out her sword, one stroke after another. However, with each chopped branch, ten more would replace it. The vines were densely packed, they pulled and tightened around Su Luo, landing her in a tragic situation that brought joy to many people.
In order to maintain the freshness of the blood, these ancient trees would not strangle Su Luo to death immediately, but they would just hang her like this, draining a bit of blood every day until Su Luo’s whole body withered away. Just like that, she would slowly die out.
Leng Xiao had seen this before; he had witnessed the trees drain someone to death in front of him before. In that case, it had taken thirty days for that person to die in despair and collapse.
This time, it would probably take Su Luo thirty days as well.
“Hahaha!!!" Leng Xiao was ecstatic, looking up to the sky and laughing wildly.
However--
His laughter suddenly came to a halt! His face instantly froze!
That was because a dagger had pierced Leng Xiao's chest!
While Leng Xiao was in a defenseless state, the assailant stabbed straight in and sank the knife all the way into its hilt!
Leng Xiao's eyes were wide as he stared at this person less than a foot away from him in disbelief.
Su Luo?
How could it be her?
Leng Xiao felt his brain crash instantly, as if turning blank and shutting off… Was this an illusion appearing before him??
This person could be anyone, even one of his subordinates. However, it was absolutely impossible to have been Su Luo! How could it be her?!
However, the pain from his heart clearly told him that it was real; he was actually stabbed, and he wasn’t hallucinating!
"Why… is it you…" Leng Xiao rasped with difficulty.
He found that he had difficulty saying even a single word now. The blood in his chest was pitch black as the poison began corroding his body. He was very familiar with this kind of poison, as it was the same poison Su Luo had used to force him to surrender when they were in the Tower of Trials!
Struggling, Leng Xiao lowered his head, only to discover a yellowish-brown liquid present on the ground his legs were stepping on. What’s more, there were only two bones supporting his body from his knees down.
"My legs…" Leng Xiao's eyes were drenched with tears.
He wanted to roar! To scream! To yell out loud!
But he felt entirely helpless, his back was stiff, and his mind was at a loss… He could feel himself dying… really dying… instead of being teleported out of the Tower of Trials to continue living.
Su Luo looked at him with a smile, contempt showing all over her face: "How is it? This feeling can't really be experienced in the Tower of Trials, right?"
"You… why…" Leng Xiao wanted to jump up and kill Su Luo but found that he didn't even have the strength to lift a finger.
"Why am I here?" Su Luo grinned and jumped over to sit on the big oval stone where Leng Xiao had been sitting before, her smile unwavering. "Actually, I’ve been waiting for you here all this time."
Su Luo pointed to the ancient tree that was only ten yards away from the big rock, replying as though she was stating a fact: "I was sitting there before. There’s no way you couldn’t have noticed me, given your prowess.”
However, it was a pity that when Leng Xiao saw that "Su Luo" was being mutilated, his whole body had trembled with excitement. People's IQ would drop wildly when they were excited, so Leng Xiao hadn’t noticed his surroundings at all.
"Is, is that person the stupid Big Sister Wei?" Leng Xiao stared at Su Luo, with a murderous aura in his eyes. If the expression in his eyes could kill, Su Luo would have long taken her last breath.
"No, no, no." Su Luo shook his index finger and said with a smile, "Big Sister Wei is my combat partner - as if I would use my people as sacrificial bait like that."
"Then who is that?!" Leng Xiao roared loudly!
If it were not for his thirst for knowledge supporting him, he would have already collapsed. That was because he was going crazy after feeling that his body had been corroded to the thighs!
Su Luo spread her hands and shrugged: "It was the prize you won for me. Don’t tell me that you’ve forgotten about it?"
"Prize? What prize?" Leng Xiao’s sluggish mind was still able to quickly pull out those memories…
He helped Su Luo draw the Intelligence Skull, and then what had happened after that?
"Sunny Doll?" Leng Xiao frowned. What was that? Was it not just a piece of garbage?
"The name Sunny Doll can be really deceiving. In fact, its real name should actually be ‘Mimic Doll.'" Su Luo's smile was as sly as a little fox. She touched her chin and said triumphantly, "Mimic Doll. As the name suggests, it can be used to mimic a person’s appearance, so I let it mimic my appearance to trick you."
After Su Luo's explanation, Leng Xiao realized that despite having calculated everything, who would’ve expected that his plans had been countered by Su Luo’s!
Mimic Doll, Mimic Doll!!!
"Hahaha—" Leng Xiao looked up to the sky and screamed, laughing until tears were rolling down his face…
Those were tears of anguish.
This was his last chance, with him having clearly located Su Luo and surrounded her with his men, to end her life right there and nip this problem at its bud! He was certain to get his revenge! He had wanted to make Su Luo feel such incomparable agony to the point of wishing for her own death, so he had used this extreme method. He hadn’t expected this! That there would be such a reversal of events!
"I’ve lost…hahaha…I’ve lost…" Leng Xiao's tears kept flowing unceasingly… His laughing was uglier than crying.
