Peerless War God

However, before Chen Xiao could rejoice, a heart-wrenching pain came from his abdomen. He lowered his head and saw that the Talisman Beast's claw had struck the left side of his ribcage, tearing open a few large wounds.    

However, what was extremely strange was that the wound did not bleed.    

It was true. Right now, he was in the form of a divine soul, and there was no blood. Although he felt a little weak, it wasn't that serious.    

Therefore, the next moment, Chen Xiao used all his strength to get up. He ran towards the crack with all his strength. Behind him was the Talisman Beast that was chasing him to take his life.    

"Damn it, if this Talisman Beast were to fight against it, I would have no chance of winning at all." Chen Xiao cursed in his heart.    

If it was in the Realm of Gods, he could have countless ways to kill it with such a low-level method. But this was the world in the painting, and his strength was greatly limited.    

He could not use force; he could only use trickery.    

"Roar!"    

"Damn it, it's coming. What a fast speed."    

Chen Xiao felt a gust of wind coming from the back of his head. He did not dare to be careless. Under his control, the originally shattered wooden puppet floated over from afar and blocked his back.    

Bang!    

With a dull sound, Chen Xiao was sent flying. There was an astonishing big hole on his back. It was about the size of a bowl, but there was still no blood.    

It was obvious that the destroyed wooden puppet did not have much defensive power, nor did it have much effect.    

The only good news was that Chen Xiao had been sent flying out of the formation and rolled on the ground, but he looked a little embarrassed.    

"He, he's injured?" Not far away, the two of them saw this scene, and their faces were filled with fear, as they were at a complete loss as to what to do.    

Xiao Xiao was the same. He was still too young, so he didn't know what to do at all.    

"Sister Hua Yin, he's injured. What should we do?"    

Xiao Xiao looked at Hua Yin, completely at a loss as to what to do.    

Hua Yin gritted his teeth and looked at the Soul Fruit in Chen Xiao's hand. His eyes flashed with passion and greed.    

She knew that it was the legendary Soul Fruit. As long as she obtained it, her strength would become exceptionally strong.    

However, it was also possible that she would not be able to obtain anything.    

"Sister Hua Yin, Sister Hua Yin." Xiaoxiao stared at her with eyes filled with anxiety.    

Seeing that Hua Yin didn't move at all, Xiaoxiao became anxious. He gritted his teeth and rushed towards Chen Xiao.    

"Hey, what are you doing?" Hua Yin was stunned, unable to understand what she was trying to do.    

He saw Xiao Xiao rush over, grab Chen Xiao's arm, and drag him out with all her might. As long as he could drag Chen Xiao out of the range of the array, the Talisman Beast would not be able to chase after him.    

Seeing this, Chen Xiao laughed, "Heh, you little guy."    

"Stop talking, hurry up and run. If the Talisman Beast catches up to us, we will all die."    

Xiaoxiao carried the injured Chen Xiao and sped up her escape, limping as she ran out.    

At this time, an ear-piercing and terrifying sound could be heard. The Talisman Beast had arrived.    

Xiao Xiao turned her head abruptly, and her face was only filled with despair, "It's over. It's over. The Talisman Beast is here. The Talisman Beast is here."    

"You big fool, look at this. Look here. Your enemy is here. Come and chase me."    

Suddenly, Hua Yin picked up a rock from the ground and threw it at the Talisman Beast. Although such a small attack was hardly threatening to the powerful Talisman Beast, for some reason, it infuriated the Talisman Beast.    

Then, the angry Talisman Beast actually rushed towards Hua Yin and gave up on chasing after Chen Xiao.    

"Damn ..." Hua Yin was so scared that his face changed, and he immediately turned around and ran.    

When Chen Xiao saw this, he was stunned for a moment before cursing: "Damn, this beast is really a beast."    

"What? What?" Xiao Xiao did not understand.    

"Quickly leave, don't just stand there." Chen Xiao shouted.    

"Alright."    

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Xiao and Xiaoxiao supported each other and quickly escaped from the foot of the mountain and hid in the forest. After the Talisman Beast lost its target, it looked around for a while before returning to the array.    

"Phew ~ We were saved. We didn't die. We survived." Xiaoxiao panted heavily, scared out of her wits.    

Hua Yin was in a sorry state and was injured. She walked out from the tree and walked towards Chen Xiao. Her eyes were fixed on the Soul Fruit in Chen Xiao's hand, and the greed in her eyes was self-evident.    

Chen Xiao saw it and smiled, saying, "You want the Soul Fruit?"    

Hua Yin didn't say anything, but her expression showed that she really wanted the Soul Fruit.    

The Soul Fruit was hope, everything. What her husband wanted even if it meant risking his life was right in front of her, so there was no reason for her to give up.    

Furthermore, Chen Xiao was injured. He seemed to be heavily injured. This was a perfect opportunity.    

Hua Yin's eyes flashed with a dangerous light as he approached Chen Xiao step by step.    

Seeing this scene, Xiao Xiao panicked a little, "Sister Hua Yin, what are you doing? You..."    

He was completely at a loss as to what to do. He had never encountered such a situation before, and his intuition told him that it was not right.    

However, facing Hua Yin's cold gaze, Xiao Xiao shrank back.    

Chen Xiao laughed out loud. He looked at Hua Yin as if he was looking at himself in the past. He would do anything for his own goal.    

"What are you laughing at?" Hua Yin questioned, and the look in his eyes became more and more cruel.    

Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "Do you want the Soul Fruit? Here you go."    

As he spoke, Chen Xiao threw the Soul Fruit over. Hua Yin was stunned for a moment before she subconsciously reached out her hand to catch it. For a moment, her face was filled with shock and confusion.    

"Why?"    

"Why don't you give it a try?"    

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, he didn't say anything else. He sat down on the spot, took out the soul crystals, and started to recover.    

He didn't even bother to look at Hua Yin anymore, because he already knew the result.    

As expected, a moment later, Hua Yin's eyes were filled with despair. He held the Soul Fruit in his hand and trembled, "Why, why is it like this? Why?"    

She looked like a crazy patient who had lost her mind. She stared at the Soul Fruit in disbelief.    

Despair and sorrow spread in her heart. It was more horrible than not knowing anything.    

Ignorance didn't bring pain. Instead, it made her happy. Sometimes, the more she knew, the worse she felt.    

The more one knew, the more painful it would be.    

Xiao Xiao was stunned. She asked, "Sister Hua Yin, what happened to you?"    

"Hoho..." Hua Yin was laughing. She was laughing like a madman.    

Then, she threw the Soul Fruit out. Chen Xiao saw it and said: "Didn't you want it a lot? Why did you lose it again? "    

Hua Yin wiped away her nonexistent tears, opened her eyes wide, and stared at Chen Xiao, asking, "What exactly is that Soul Fruit?"    

"I don't know. It might be a type of fruit, but I don't think so. It's more like a magic treasure, a magic tool to collect the power of the soul."    

Chen Xiao said coldly.
