Blood dripped from Xika's body. His sight blurred for a moment, but refocused when he realized that he was above his mother's favorite flower garden. Then his gaze turned towards the large white figure that hit him just now.

Xika wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and looked at the white snake with anger.

"I should be confused as to where the other mouse disappeared. It looks like this is."

Regardless of the snake's words, Xika ran and lunged at her enemy with sticks and cards in both hands. But the anger blinded him. He forgot that the white snake in front of him was the same level as Huo Bing and Heiliao, Low-Jack.

Defeating the Red-9 Spirit Beast alone he was overwhelmed, let alone Black-1 level. With ease, the snake dodged Xika's attack then swung its tail and shot Xika back.

THE DUAK!

Bruk!

Taps!

Xika is undaunted. He rose again as if he did not realize the difference between them. The same result awaits him again. White tail on his stomach. He could see the tail coming, but could not escape it. Too fast to avoid and too strong to hold.

The young man got back up even though he knew he was going to fall again. He can't just shut up. He has to do something. His mind glared back some time ago when Huo Bing asked why he loved the Hydrangea garden so much.

"What is so special about this flower? Is there a specific meaning or memory?"

"The flower itself is not so special. The special thing is the person who loves the flower. I don't really know about flowers, but Hydrangeas are my mother's favorite. Maybe you'd find me silly, but the existence of the flower itself puts me close to my mother.

I want to feel that feeling for as long as possible. After all, this is the only sign that my mother has actually been to this place."

Xika opened her eyes and found a white tail waiting for her. This time he managed to jump, but then the snake turned its head and again made Xika fall into the garden Hydrangea.

I don't know how many flowers were destroyed by her. Xika felt her heart getting hotter seeing that, inversely proportional to the snake who looked at Xika with a smile.

"Looking at you defending this flower garden desperately, it looks like it's here right?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Well, rightly or not let me just examine myself," the white snake turned to his army, "hold him."

After speaking, the snake did not see Xika. He did not care about Xika who roared furiously and rebelled with all her might. In the end, due to the wounds given by the white snake, Xika managed to be held back by the snakes. And the white snake began to destroy the flower garden.

He dug the ground with qi and paid no attention to the Hydrangea flowers that were destroyed because of his actions. His eyes looked here and there as if trying to find something, but even though he had destroyed the Hydrangea garden, the white snake did not manage to find the thing he was looking for.

"Squeaky. Why isn't there? Or maybe you're hiding it?"

"I told you I don't understand what you're talking about, you fucking Serpent!"

The white snake slaps Xika back with its tail, after which it explores Xika's body trying to find the same thing she was looking for in the garden. In the end all he found were cards and some knives and the presence of Nexus.

"There really isn't. Then why are you protecting this place so much?"

The white snake paused for a moment trying to find the answer, then sighed while shaking his head.

"Well, I don't really care. I'd better find it somewhere else."

After that he left and left Xika with his flower garden that had been destroyed. His snake army followed behind and paid no attention to Xika anymore.

Xika was left lying heavily injured helplessly. His eyes glowed with anger. He was angry that his mother's favorite flower garden, which he had taken care of desperately, was ultimately destroyed by his helplessness. He was angry because he was weak. He was angry at the sky for letting all this happen.

In the childhood stories that he often read, the main character always gets unexpected help at the right time. If he is the main character of his own life, why did he not get help like the main character in the story?

Why didn't anyone help him when his village burned down? Why did her parents leave her alone in the middle of a village full of killers? Why would he have to suffer humiliation for ten years before being able to cultivate? Why didn't he meet Huo Bing and Heiliao sooner? Why is he still weak even though he already has a lot of dantian? Why were all the villages he visited, the villages he lived in, his uncle's village, and the villages his father had protected, always destroyed? Wh why? Wh why?

Xika grasped the ground tightly venting her emotions, but it was useless. To date, it has been the cause of death for many lives. Starting from the village where he lived, his uncle's village, and this village. In the end Huo Bing and Heiliao would lose right? After that these snakes will definitely slaughter the citizens and their lives will all be lost because of him. Because himself.

Is he not supposed to live? Was he a mistake? A thing that should never have existed? A misfortune-bearer wherever he goes? Huo Bing had died once and he would die a second time because of Xika.

So did Heiliao. It should not be allowed to let the wolf repeat its life. He does not need to brag about having a reason to live while his own life is a mistake. He should have let Heiliao die by then. That way the blood that soiled his hands would be reduced slightly.

As those various thoughts flashed across Xika's head, slowly the light of her eyes dimmed. He has lost his spirit. He no longer has hope for life.

"Promise Xika....."

A promise?

"Please promise me that you won't forget us."

Forgot it? We were?

"Please promise to look for us."

"Meet me ten minutes later okay?"

Ten minutes? I've been waiting for over ten years and I've never found you! Where are you? Why did you leave me? What do I do to get you back?

"Promise Xika...."

I am tired of my promises.

"promise......"

Xika tried to resist, but that one word constantly reverberated in her head. Then the voice in his head changed into a female voice.

"I will always love you, wherever, whenever, and however you are."

Anywhere? Anytime? Do you still love me after all this time? After leaving me for over ten years and you still love me? The one who has made many lives?

Then Xika seemed to see her mother's smiling face bright but full of sadness was nodding at her.

At that very instant, tears began to flow without being able to hold back. Slowly he sobbed. And his sobbing grew longer and longer until he finally roared in tears of sadness.

Give me Mom's lead, Dad. Give me some spirit. Give me hope.

"Hiks...hiks......."

Xika lay still. Reflecting on his father and mother. What was the reason they left him? And many other questions. I don't know how long it's been. Xika did not know if Huo Bing and Heiliao were still holding on while she was feeling good crying and nostalgic.

Taps!

The set!

Still with tears on her face, Xika got up and stood up. There were still Heiliao and Huo Bing. There are still people who depend on Xika's fate. There are still children. He could not let them experience the same thing as him.

He was wasting his time by going back to this flower garden. Flower gardens are important, but their lives are more important. His mother would be angry if she knew he was more concerned with flowers than life.

Xika was no longer silent. He immediately ran. But his legs are too slow. While his qi should he sparingly to disturb the concentration of the snake leader. So he jumped. And from his body grew a pair of beautiful blue-greenish wings along two and a half meters.

He flapped his wings vigorously and split the wind. It didn't take long for him to find the snake leader Huo Bing had said. Indeed, beside him were three Red-4 snakes that helped seal this space.

One look Xika knew the four were setting up a formation to seal this space. Bizarrely. If the snakes didn't know where Huo Bing and Xika were going, why would they painstakingly set up a formation to seal this space?

Even if there were no Xika, Huo Bing, and Heiliao, killing the citizens was not a difficult thing to make a formation.

Xika shook her head. For now that's not what he should think about. All he had to think about was how to disrupt his fourth concentration. Should he kill his three subordinates first? Xika was sure the leader would be aware that the formation was weakening but there was no guarantee that he would stop the formation. He could have thought his subordinates were just exhausted and paused for a moment.

So it seems like attacking subordinates is not a good idea. The only option left was the leader. But interrupting his concentration would definitely be more difficult.

What's he supposed to do? Breaking through space so many times that its formation was destroyed? Heiliao just can't, let alone her. Attacking the leader? Hows it? By what? What is the strongest technique he has? The single? A double? Combined five elements?

Xika remembered that her last fight with Lang Jin, when she used Double, her swing felt different. If he could sense that difference once more, then combine it with the five elements and give a slash full of all his qinya.......it should interfere with the leader's concentration even if he is at the High-Jack level.

He took his breath deep. He had to succeed in one experiment. He doesn't have much time. His figure when flying earlier must have attracted attention. Xika guessed that soon there would be many snakes coming.

His hand reached for the pile of cards that floated in front of his chest, then pulled out two pieces.

If the sky is watching everything that is happening below......

Xika bent both her elbows until the card she was holding touched her body.

If there is a destiny......

Xika's pupils lit up five symbols, along with her cards that began to be covered in five colors.

And so......

Xika swung both of her arms.

Help me!

SLASHY!

Three slashes. Five elements. Snake leader.
