Chapter 1291: Fight to the End

Chapter 1291: Fight to the End

Su Kexin and Luo Xiaoxue had tried so many times on the Sacred Mountain, only to find themselves in chaos—no new Sacred Light Auntie summoned, and not even an Ultraman.

And that energy circle? It didn’t disappear either, as a Sacred Beast charged right in, akin to a stone tossed into the ocean, leaving no ripples behind.

What would happen if a person were to slip into it? Just thinking about it was enough to make one’s imagination run wild.

Because that group of demonized Sacred Beasts had raced off to the Sacred City, and the Demon Qi nearby was running low. Lin Nuo had to follow them into the Sacred City.

If the nearby Demon Qi was depleted, he would feel awful, and even the chains on his hands were starting to lose their luster. He began to suspect they were made of subpar materials.

Those demonized Sacred Beasts emanated Demon Qi, and even if he was miles away from them, he could still survive under its influence.

But Su Kexin and Luo Xiaoxue were immune to all poisons; no aura affected them. Toss them into the Demon Realm, and they might even end up purifying the place.

The Sacred City used to be the royal city of Tian Du Kingdom, now occupied by the Handa Alliance, becoming their main stronghold. A massive number of demonized Sacred Beasts had rushed in, presumably wanting to take down their stronghold all at once.

As Lin Nuo and the others approached the Sacred City, he found it odd that the Sacred Beasts had entered the city but were surrounding the temple, seemingly waiting for the right moment.

The outer layer of the temple was surrounded by Sacred Light, which seemed to be a protective barrier against outside invaders.

But Lin Nuo estimated that this outer layer of Sacred Light was just a paper tiger. Those fierce, demonized Sacred Beasts could charge through it without breaking a sweat.

Once inside the Sacred City, Luo Xiaoxue felt a sense of déjà vu, and seeing the war-torn area made her heart ache.

The feeling intensified, as if she truly belonged to this place.

“What are you thinking? Do you feel like this is your hometown?”

Lin Nuo noticed Luo Xiaoxue’s hesitation and struck upon the key point.

After all, being a perennial shut-in, he was familiar with various fantasy plots; with the dreamy expression on her face, it was likely her past memories were surfacing.

“Uh? I… I don’t think so…”

“So it feels familiar then? In any case, you wouldn’t consider this a strange place.”

“I… can’t hide it from Lin Daxia… So, have I really been here before?”

“Indeed.”

“Ah?”

“Never mind. Just be clear about one thing: since you don’t want to stay here long, don’t keep worrying about whether you belong, okay?”

Lin Nuo thought he had explained this countless times—just forget that rubbish memory, and even if it exists, consider it a delusion, alright?

The Handa Alliance had yet to strike from the outer Demon Realm, while the sounds of explosions and chaos echoed from within the temple, as if an internal battle was underway.

Unknowingly, the outer layer of Sacred Light protection faded away, exposing the scenes within to their eyes.

They saw a multitude of Sacred Beasts inside, but the most eye-catching were two: a dragon and a tiger, charging in like kings of beasts, engaging in fierce combat.

Then they saw the glowing woman, Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling led the two Divine Sacred Beasts in a fierce assault on the temple, while the remnants of Tian Du Kingdom inside responded to her, aiming to eliminate Han Zhe while he was still reeling from defeat.

“Lin Daxia, it’s that woman… and those two Sacred Beasts…”

“She might not be lying; indeed, she plans to eradicate the Handa Alliance.”

Lin Nuo watched in begrudging admiration at her bravery—one person, accompanied by two Sacred Beasts, assaulting the temple. That took guts.

Of course, she wasn’t fighting alone; the internal unity of the Handa Alliance in the temple had long crumbled. Han Zhe had even been betrayed, and the remaining two Sacred Beasts, hidden away, had fallen into Xiao Ling’s hands.

Xiao Ling, having secured those remaining Sacred Beasts, prepared to exert all her effort for the final summoning ritual.

“All Sacred Beasts, heed my call! Inherit the will of Tian Du Kingdom, and we shall drive all evil foes from our land!”

Xiao Ling raised her hands, and the two Sacred Beasts sensed her summon, revealing their true forms.

One was a vermilion bird, the other a giant tortoise, joining the earlier dragon and tiger—four Divine Sacred Beasts gathered in one place.

Lin Nuo thought, didn’t this resemble the four heavenly kings: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise?

It seemed this wasn’t just a legend; it truly existed in some dimensional world.

A mere phantom could not awaken four Divine Sacred Beasts; obviously, it was through contact with Luo Xiaoxue that she could summon them.

Lin Nuo speculated that Luo Xiaoxue possessed Spirit Essence or Sacred Essence, which Xiao Ling must have accessed to start calling upon the Sacred Beasts.

Just like someone once tried to use an illusion to bait Luo Xiaoxue into summoning a Sacred Beast; it should be the same principle. Luo Xiaoxue was the key, like a lock to free the Sacred Beasts.

If Luo Xiaoxue hadn’t returned or hadn’t met Xiao Ling, she wouldn’t have been able to call forth the four great Sacred Beasts.

With the four great Sacred Beasts gathered, Han Zhe was taken aback because these beasts had been sealed away. They hadn’t been released when they conquered Tian Du Kingdom, yet now they had resurfaced?

The four great Sacred Beasts exuded a formidable aura, charging forward with immense power, causing the stationed Sacred Warriors to retreat involuntarily, their hearts pounding with fear, too scared to advance.

“Han Zhe, your end is near! The temple shall once again belong to our Tian Du Kingdom!”

Xiao Ling waved her hand, readying for the final offensive, but Han Zhe shouted in alarm:

“Xiao Ling! I can resurrect you! If you destroy the temple, your soul will scatter, and it’ll be impossible for your Tian Du Kingdom to recover! Plus, there are invaders from the Demon Realm outside; if we kill each other, only they will benefit! Let’s work together instead!”

“You, and they, will all disappear from Tian Du Kingdom!”

Xiao Ling wasn’t going to entertain Han Zhe’s nonsense. She was here to eradicate them, and what cooperation were they speaking of? She wasn’t blind to their true colors!

Xiao Ling exerted herself to control the four Sacred Beasts, but time was running short; she needed to act quickly, and the cost would be her soul scattering.

The four great Sacred Beasts responded to Xiao Ling’s call with furious roars that shook the ground, charging forward relentlessly, unstoppable. How could Han Zhe’s forces withstand this?

Now Han Zhe was caught in a dilemma; he couldn’t directly contend with Xiao Ling’s Sacred Beasts, yet retreating meant facing Aike’s troops, making it impossible to break through.

Fight to the end!

Han Zhe resolved to unleash his remaining strength once more—a last desperate gamble with no retreat.

His body began to expand, growing larger, radiating a brilliant Sacred Light, a force surging within, incredibly powerful, preparing to clash with the four great Sacred Beasts.

The two sides collided, unleashing powerful energy that shook the entire earth.
