Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 904 The Dragon Soul Returns
  With Shao Yu's last words of encouragement, Xiao Li was finally sent to the core platform of the furnace, only a few steps away from the dragon soul.

However, Xiao Li did not go to get the dragon soul immediately. Instead, he turned around and lay on the ground, looked at Shao Yu who was falling rapidly into the fire of stars, and stretched out his arms to try to save him.

"Shaoyu!"

Tears slid down Xiao Li's flushed face, and his heart was filled with extreme grief.

For the first time since embarking on her fateful journey, she felt regret.

She shouldn't have involved Shao Yu and Tian Ming, this was just her mission.

On the central platform on the other side, Tian Ming, who was completely exhausted and unconscious, could barely see the scene of Shao Yu falling into the abyss, and couldn't help crying.

"Aww, Shaoyu, you can't die!"

He tried to struggle to get up, but he couldn't even move a finger. He could only cry silently, venting the sadness in his heart.

When he could no longer see Shao Yu, Xiao Li couldn't help but close his eyes. He gently touched his heart with his palm and held the cold Tears of the Goddess.

The next moment, Xiao Li opened her eyes again and wiped away her tears. The determination that had been in her eyes since she appeared was now beyond words.

Then, Xiao Li stood up resolutely and walked step by step towards the dragon soul.

Destroying the Demon God of War was her innate mission and the meaning of her existence, but only now did she understand that this matter was by no means as simple as her mission.

It carries much more than that.

She can't fail, not before, not now!

In the blood-red furnace core, the irregular nearly round dragon soul exudes a faint golden glow.

As Xiao Li gradually approached, the light on the dragon soul became more and more intense, as if he was expecting the savior to take him away from here.

However, just like the dragon soul, the Demon God of War seemed to feel that he was about to lose his dragon soul. The core of the furnace suddenly erupted, and the temperature in the core climbed sharply. Even with the protection of the goddess's tears, Xiao Li still felt that his whole body was about to burn. .

Xiao Li staggered and moved towards the dragon soul little by little. It was difficult to walk just a few feet away.

After reaching the last two steps, Xiao Li's feet began to explode with sparks, basically in a state where he could be set on fire at any time.

Fortunately, the Tears of the Goddess bloomed with a faint light, covering Xiao Li's whole body, barely protecting her.

Xiao Li struggled to endure the bursts of burning pain all over his body. He raised his head slightly to look at the dragon soul sealed in the core of the furnace. With longing and hope on his face, he slowly held out his hands and closed them. Go up.

………………

At this time, Shao Yu had his eyes closed, feeling the freedom of weightless falling on his head and feet, waiting silently for death.

Although he was very unwilling to die like this, but... at least the sacrifice was not in vain, and it was still very meaningful to be able to help Xiao Li destroy the Demon God of War.

At this time, Shaoyu couldn't help but think of his teacher Fan Zeng who was always nagging in his ears.

Mr. Fan always criticized Shao Yu for acting recklessly, being young and energetic, and being impulsive. In the past, Shao Yu always took it lightly. But today it seems...the teacher is absolutely right.

It’s easy for me to get carried away.

Fortunately, it’s not a big regret, just a pity. Just when Shao Yu's mood was changing in a complicated way, he suddenly felt a pulling force on his left foot, and his falling speed actually slowed down.

He hurriedly opened his eyes and saw the little Xiu Xiu, who was flapping his little wings, biting the hem of his trousers and struggling to pull him up.

"Xiao Xiu Xiu, are you okay?" Shao Yu felt that the ups and downs of life were so elusive at this moment, and shouted full of surprise, "Quick! Pull me up!"

In his busy schedule, Xiao Xiu Xiu took the time to glance at Shao Yu with his cute big eyes.

Can't you see I've tried my best to pull you back, stupid Twoleg! ?

Shaoyu seemed to feel Xiao Xiuxiu's contempt and hurriedly explained, "The fire below will surge up again soon. If you don't hurry up, we will both be burned to ashes."

Little Xiu Xiu stopped talking to Shao Yu, but his wings flapped even more happily.

Even so, Xiao Xiu Xiu was still climbing upwards at a snail's pace, and unfortunately he was unable to reach the platform before a new round of explosions from the Star Furnace.

Shao Yu lowered his head and looked at the surging sea of ​​fire below, gritted his teeth and said, "No, it's too late!"

"Xiao Xiu Xiu, leave me alone and run away first!"

Little Xiu Xiu turned a deaf ear and continued to fly up with his eyes closed and his wings flapping.

Shaoyu shouted anxiously, "Obey, let me go!"

………………

On the other side, on the control center platform, Tianming was still lying on the ground exhausted, twitching from time to time.

Gong Shuqiu, who was bitten on the butt by Tianming and knocked unconscious, now regained his composure.

In the final analysis, he was just bitten on the buttocks and fell down. The extent of the injury was much better than Tianming, and he naturally recovered quickly.

With the help of the mechanical arm, Gong Shuqiu reluctantly got up from the ground, limped to Tianming, pulled him up, and roared, "Damn it, you can't stop the pace of the Demon God of War!"

Seeing Gong Shuqiu's furious look, Tianming suddenly gained some energy and sneered feebly, "Hey! You don't have any say in this, Xiao Li succeeded immediately, blame the old man, I'll wait for you to die!"

"You! Go to hell!" Gongshu Qiu was so angry that he swung his mechanical arm and threw Tianming out through the hole in the Demon God of War's eyes, letting him fall freely in the air hundreds of feet high outside.

"Ah..." Tianming just soared into the wind with a series of screams.
  At this moment, on the core platform of the furnace, blue light suddenly prevailed around Xiao Li. With the help of the Tears of the Goddess, he finally took out the dragon soul.

As soon as the dragon soul got rid of the shackles of the God of War, it immediately turned into a stream of light and flew away, heading straight towards the little Xiu Xiu who was about to be swallowed by the fire of the stars, and instantly merged into its body.

The little Xiu Xiu, who had regained the power of the dragon soul, finally no longer stretched his hips like before, and began to show the power of a true ancient beast, a descendant of the dragon.

As a burst of golden light bloomed, the little Xiu Xiu's round little body began to grow rapidly, its limbs expanded rapidly, and sharp claws grew. The wings on its back extended and transformed into a pair of plump, powerful giant wings. The horns also grew in size, and the beard, fur, and scales all grew out. Almost in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a majestic and burly giant beast.

Little Xiu Xiu bit Shao Yu and shook his head, throwing the person onto his back. Then his wings shook, drawing a stream of colorful light, and suddenly disappeared in place.

The imminent star fire was completely thrown back by one person and one beast in an instant. In the blink of an eye, he reached the core platform of the furnace and saw Xiao Li, who was tortured by the burning pain and could hardly stand.
