Xiao Xue took out an eyeball, frozen by the Bone Chilling Flame, from her storage ring.
As soon as she discovered that her opponent was a sentient, shapeshifting alien flame, Xiao Xue had already finalized her plan.
After all, once she confirmed it was an alien flame and felt its killing intent, she received a system prompt.
The [Hidden Information] had officially transformed into an [Urgent Quest]!
Another urgent quest, and its requirements were simple.
– Escape the pursuit of the Netherworld Spirit Cat!
Xiao Xue noticed that if an opponent had strong killing intent towards her and was stronger than her, there was a higher chance of triggering an urgent quest.
And since it was a quest, there would surely be rewards upon completion.
So, if handled well, she might be able to 'milk' the system for a lot more in the future.
Of course, how to trigger quests would need to be researched slowly later.
Actually, the rewards for urgent quests were never low.
For instance, escaping the clutches of the six-star Dou Zong-level Netherworld Spirit Cat this time would directly grant her two million experience points.
Besides that, there were other things, depending on her specific performance.
This reward amount was undeniably high.
After all, not only was this thing far stronger than Xiao Xue, but it was also poisonous!
Without Ah Li, Xiao Xue would probably only be able to desperately flee, and might not even succeed.
But upon seeing this prompt, Xiao Xue's thought was very direct.
"Killing it also counts as escaping its pursuit, right?"
"After all, a dead person can never pose a threat to me again."
Running away was impossible; she could only counter-kill!
If she annihilated her opponent until not even ashes remained, and their soul was extinguished, how could they still pursue her!
Counter-killing was the best escape!
Of course, against a fire spirit, it meant annihilating its sentience!
However, facing the fire spirit of the Netherworld Poison Flame, the offensive power of an alien flame would be greatly reduced.
In fact, the Buddha's Fury Lotus, which was a deadly move for other Dou Zongs, might be like cat food to this cat.
An alien flame could harm it, but it could also be absorbed by it and used to attack her in return!
So, this time, Xiao Xue didn't plan to use the Buddha's Fury Lotus; she planned something bigger.
To eliminate the Netherworld Spirit Cat's sentience, she had something far more suitable than the Buddha's Fury Lotus!
– Moon Eye!
After getting close to the Netherworld Spirit Cat, Xiao Xue took out a frozen eyeball from her storage ring; it was none other than the Moon Eye of the Moon Eye Snow Wolf King.
The next moment, Xiao Xue directly crushed this eighth-tier Moon Eye!
In the underground world, there was already a purple demonic moon, and now, a golden crescent moon appeared!
The Moon Eye Snow Wolf King's life-saving ultimate skill, [Moon Shadow], reappeared!
Xiao Xue raised her left hand, plucking the moon with her bare hand, and her eyes turned dark gold.
Soul power and Dou Qi surged out wildly, and the [Condense] art was pushed to its extreme.
She used her soul power to condense almost the entire power of [Moon Shadow], then unleashed it towards the fire spirit!
If she directly attacked the Netherworld Spirit Cat with soul power, attempting to erase its sentience, she would very likely suffer a backlash.
Therefore, Xiao Xue would never directly attack this poisonous fire spirit with soul power.
But the Moon Eye Snow Wolf King's [Moon Shadow] specialized in the soul aspect.
Even Xiao Xue, who had mastered the [Condense] art, would not be able to unleash a soul attack stronger than the [Moon Shadow] formed by the entire Moon Eye!
This Moon Eye was one of Xiao Xue's hidden trump cards.
At the same time, it was her reliance, allowing her to face the six-star Dou Zong Netherworld Poison Flame without fear!
Although the Moon Eye Snow Wolf King that had 'reincarnated' only recovered to the Dou Zong level before being killed by Xiao Xue.
This Moon Eye, however, came from a genuine eighth-tier Wolf King.
Even if it was only in the early stage of eighth-tier, it was still far stronger than the current fire spirit!
The full-powered [Moon Shadow] had immense destructive power against a Dou Zong!
If a Dou Zong had a weaker soul, their soul might even be directly annihilated by [Moon Shadow]!
And once its sentience was lost or damaged.
The fire spirit of the Netherworld Poison Flame would become a useless cat, a little dumbass like Ah Li, who only knew how to beg for food!
The Netherworld Spirit Cat's soul power could definitely not be stronger than Ah Li's, and perhaps even inferior to Xiao Xue's.
If she wasn't worried about the alien flame backlashing her soul, Xiao Xue could even use [Sword Heart] to directly obliterate its sentience!
As Moon Shadow was released, in an instant, the fire spirit's entire consciousness was plunged into endless stinging pain.
At this moment, the fire spirit's fur bristled instantly, letting out a shrill and angry cry.
The sound was sharp, piercing the eardrums, like a baby's wail.
Countless green fire waves surged out from the fire spirit, attacking indiscriminately in all directions.
Xiao Xue, covered in blood, was severely injured, and her Dou Qi was depleted, unable even to maintain flight.
Controlling the eighth-tier [Moon Shadow] just now had almost completely drained her Dou Qi.
And Ah Li, as a damaged remnant soul, even if only affected by the Moon Shadow, would probably have to go offline for a few days.
Fortunately, [Moon Shadow] exploded towards the fire spirit, so even if Ah Li was affected, there would be no danger to her life.
Xiao Xue's falling body was already somewhat out of control.
However, her eyes remained a fervent dark gold.
Just as Xiao Xue was about to use [Upgrade] to restore her health and mana to resist this indiscriminate attack, a figure suddenly appeared and caught Xiao Xue as she fell.
Xiao Xue felt as if she had fallen onto a sponge mat, landing in a soft embrace.
She was slightly stunned, and turning her head, she found that Medusa had appeared behind her at some point.
Medusa looked at the weak Xiao Xue, holding her firmly with her left hand, her usually calm and unwavering eyes now filled with complex emotions.
Then, she looked up at the heavily injured fire spirit in the sky.
Medusa's eyes held endless killing intent.
This empress of the Snake-people race, always cold and aloof, now harbored immense murderous intent!
Then, Medusa thrust the colorful long spear tightly gripped in her right hand towards the fire spirit in the sky.
This spear strike contained the most fervent killing intent of her life!
Medusa, a three-star Dou Zong, unleashed terrifying power at this moment.
This spear strike caused the surrounding world to change color, even tearing through space.
Even the afterglow of [Moon Shadow] paled in comparison to the dazzling spear light.
She was clearly of the Medusa bloodline of the Snake-people race, the empress of the Snake-people empire, and for so many years, no one had been able to stir her heartstrings.
She was clearly more indifferent than normal people, more unrestrained than normal people, calmer than normal people... Clearly, clearly... the moment the spear left her hand, all these things seemed to find an answer.
– She saw all living beings as mere vegetation, but only you were a green mountain.
