Even after being sliced in half, the Evil Dragon Lord was still squirming on the ground while howling in agony the entire time.
This Evil Dragon Lord was indeed quite powerful, seeing as it was able to survive two of Little Xie’s sword strikes.
An Lin’s self-esteem was starting to take a hit at the sight of Little Xie’s swordsmanship. As his sword spirit, Little Xie’s combat prowess seemed to be even more bad*ss than his!
He felt like his dignity was being swept to the ground!
Was he going to have to get a little girl to carry him in the future?
He had to do something!
“Stop, Little Xie!” An Lin immediately let loose a loud cry just as Little Xie was raising her Evil-Slaying Sword again.
Little Xie’s body faltered, and she cocked her little head to the side as she blinked in confusion.
“I have some things I have to ask this Evil Dragon Lord,” An Lin explained.
“Oh, then hurry up,” Little Xie replied as she lowered her sword.
She was still waiting to absorb the energy of this sinister devil. It must be very delicious.
An Lin rode on Da Bai’s back as he made his way over to the Evil Dragon Lord before interrogating the two halves of its body. “I’m here to look for the most powerful being here. Where are they?”
An extremely powerful sinister devil was supposed to be in possession of a Dark Bead.
It was most likely the most powerful being among the sinister devils in the Abyss of Evil. The Evil Dragon Lord was quite powerful already, so it should at least be at a level where it was familiar with the most powerful being among them.
The squirming black figure on the ground suddenly faltered in its movements, as if it had heard something absurd, and it burst into raucous laughter.
“Hahaha… You want to find our king? Did I hear that right? You want to fight him? What a cocky and impudent idiot! You think you’ll be a match for our king just because you defeated me? How arrogant and foolish!
“There’s no harm in telling. You’ll die if you go there anyway!”
The Evil Dragon Lord pointed in a certain direction. “Keep going in that direction, and you’ll see a green lake. The green lake tapers to a point, and that point is where our king resides!”
An Lin was dumbstruck by the Evil Dragon Lord’s words. What a cooperative sinister devil! He was initially planning to torture it for some information. He didn’t expect it to spill the beans before he had a chance to do so.
He was wondering how this so-called king would feel if it knew how cooperative to the enemy its subordinate was.
The Evil Dragon Lord’s body squirmed as he spoke with anticipation in his eyes, “I really want to see you being tortured to death by our king… Your remorseful, horrified expression would be delightful to see…”
“Oh really? Well, in any case, you won’t live to see the result of our encounter,” An Lin said in a cold voice. “Little Xie, do it.”
His voice had only just fallen when an inky-black sword projection engulfed the Evil Dragon Lord’s body.
Little Xie savored the sinister devil’s energy, and her eyes became even darker than before. Her aura also explosively climbed to an extremely terrifying level.
“Little Xie, aren’t you getting too powerful too quickly?” An Lin was a little astonished. “Is your body going to be able to handle it? You’re not going to explode like a balloon, right?”
A smile appeared on Little Xie’s lips, and she raised her proud head as she spoke in a cold voice, “Foolish Master, who told you I’m becoming more powerful?
“I was once like a parched river. Even though my body is capable of storing vast amounts of power, it is nothing but an empty vessel. The energy of these sinister devils is like torrential rain that is filling me up…
“In other words, I’m not becoming stronger, I’m only recovering my former strength!”
Little Xie explained with a proud expression as she aimed a disdainful gaze at An Lin.
When she had first nurtured her spirit, she had lost to An Lin in a battle. This humiliation remained clear in her mind.
When she recovered more of her power, hehe…
She was going to show him how powerful she really was!
An Lin was oblivious to Little Xie’s thoughts, and he asked with a curious expression, “Roughly how much longer would it take for you to return to full power? And will you be able to break through and become a divine tool after that?”
Little Xie was in quite a good mood, and she replied with a smile, “I’ve already recovered half of my power. After completely recovering to my full power, I should be able to make the breakthrough to become a divine tool…”
An Lin was ecstatic! If Little Xie could break through to become a divine tool, then he would be one step closer to reaching the Return to Void Stage. He might even reach the Return to Void Stage before graduation!
“By the way, Little Xie, your Evil Sword Techniques look like they’re very powerful. Can you teach me?” A warm smile appeared on An Lin’s face as he caressed Little Xie’s head.
Little Xie swatted An Lin’s hand aside with a disdainful expression. “I can’t. The moves are easy to impart, but the true intent is very difficult to convey. Only after I become a divine tool will I be able to use my powerful divine intent to impart it upon you all at once.”
An Lin ignored the disdain in Little Xie’s words and chose to focus on the content, upon which he was extremely elated.
He didn’t want to diligently practice a technique. He would much rather have everything handed to him instead, just like what the system always did.
As such, he was ecstatic that Little Xie was able to do the same thing!
“Hmph!” Little Xie pursed her lips before continuing onward.
She was advancing in the direction the Evil Dragon Lord had pointed in. She was going to meet that so-called king!
An Lin had no objections to that. He suspected that this king was the owner of one of the Dark Beads.
The three of them continued onward for a while, and sure enough, a green lake soon appeared before them.
The green color of the lake water indicated that it possessed an extremely peculiar power. An Lin hadn’t even made contact with the water, but he could already clearly sense the intense corrosive and dark power imbued within it.
“The tip of the lake is in that direction!” Little Xie pointed up ahead.
The lake was shaped like a teardrop, so the point on the teardrop should be where this king resided.
However, An Lin grabbed Little Xie’s arm before she even had a chance to spring into action.
Little Xie’s brows perked up. “What is it?”
“I sense a spiritual power within this lake,” An Lin replied with an excited expression.
“So?” Little Xie was perplexed.
“The other Dark Bead dwells within this Dark Soul Lake! The yin energy here is very abundant, as is the spiritual energy. This indicates that a Dark Bead is somewhere down there!” An Lin explained elatedly.
It looked like they would be able to collect both of the Dark Beads here!
What a pleasant surprise!
“Wait for me here, I’ll be back soon!”
An Lin dove into the lake as he spoke.
Da Bai recoiled slightly upon seeing this. “This lake water is terrifying! Is Big Brother An going to be alright? I feel like if I dove in like that, I would be corroded into nothingness! Woof!”
Little Xie shot a glance at Da Bai. “There’s no need for a useless dog like you to be concerned. This lake can only drown useless dogs, not lions.”
Da Bai: “…”
Not only were Little Xie’s attacks very powerful, but even her words were also extremely scathing.
Just as Da Bai was lamenting to himself, the little girl was already beginning to carve diagrams into the ground with her sword.
“What are you doing?” Da Bai asked.
“An Lin might engage in a battle soon, so I’m going to carve out a spell formation in advance to help him should a potential battle arise,” Little Xie replied.
Da Bai nodded upon hearing this.
Even though Little Xie had a vicious tongue and a violent temper, it did appear that she cared for Big Brother An after all. Thinking about it that way, she was suddenly more adorable!
