Chapter 1368 - 871: No One Gets to Leave!

"Kill."

Du Yu murmured in his heart, his eyes constantly moving with the shuttle of the withered branches.

He had cleared many a Bottomless Abyss, but never before had he felt so "possessed" as today.

Du Yu approached every mission seriously and responsibly, of course.

But this time, it was as if he wanted to take in the sight of ending every single Cold Beast’s life.

That, of course, was unrealistic.

How many branches does the Divine Tree have? And how fast does it shuttle around and slaughter the Cold Beasts?

"Du Yu." The Beautiful Demon Fox called softly, several fox tails wrapped around Du Yu’s body like seat belts, tightening slightly.

Connected with Du Yu’s spirit, she sensed many things, and in her beautiful fox eyes, there was also profound sorrow.

Du Yu wasn’t as consumed by bloodlust as he seemed.

There was indeed a desire to kill.

Regarding the invaders like the Cold Race and Cold Beasts, Du Yu never had any mercy for them.

But the Ancient Yan sensed that within Du Yu’s heart, aside from the intent to kill, there was more sadness, more anguish.

Whenever the Youhan Tree invaded any city in this world, Du Yu would never have this psychological state; he would simply strive to complete his mission with all his might.

Except for the invasion of Ancient Pine Tower City...

Everyone was aware that the Cold Tree was coming for Du Yu.

The collapsing buildings in his hometown, the wounded and fallen soldiers in the military camp—it’s all because of him.

In response to this, Du Yu was powerless, with no way to prevent it from happening.

No, maybe he could.

As long as he became an emperor, everything seemed to be easily solved, but...

But the Cold Tree didn’t give him the opportunity.

"Du Yu." Hu Xiaoyan really wanted to do something for her master, but she was equally powerless.

"Focus on the mission." Du Yu comforted in his mind, gently stroking the fiery red fox fur, "I’m fine, don’t worry about me."

For Du Yu, facing such a formidable enemy, there was no time for trivial considerations.

Any emotions should be calmed when returning home.

Any wounds should be licked when back home.

It was hard for Du Yu to dispel the pain within; anyone facing the invasion of their homeland wouldn’t have a heart without ripples.

However, Du Yu could control his actions!

With the task at hand, he must execute it properly; all other factors must be pushed aside!

That’s how Du Yu saw it and how he acted, but for Hu Xiaoyan...

Ignore you?

How could I possibly ignore you?

My life is all about you!

Du Yu’s rapidly moving eyes suddenly paused, and his body froze a bit.

He sensed Hu Xiaoyan’s emotions.

"Hmm." Little Fen Yang spoke softly, "Xiaoyan loves you dearly."

"Mm..." Du Yu’s gaze softened, raising a hand to grasp the fiery red fox tail resting on his shoulder.

"Whimper~"

"Let’s come back first." Du Yu said softly, "When there’s another battle, I’ll call you."

"Woo~!" Hu Xiaoyan suddenly raised her fox head, and her beautiful fox cry drifted far, deep into the Bottomless Abyss.

The fiery red body began trembling violently.

Moreover, waves of scorching Fire Demon Breath surged fiercely.

Standing atop the lion’s nose, Yang Qingqing lowered her head to look, seeing the Beautiful Demon Fox temporarily immobile atop a Giant Tree.

Advancing in rank?

Yang Qingqing’s heart rejoiced.

She understood her apprentice well, as did Du Yu’s Demon Pet.

For a long time, Hu Xiaoyan had always been one step ahead of Du Yu.

Today, if Xiaoyan becomes an emperor, it implies that the apprentice is also about to ascend to emperor!

"Withdraw the Demon Pet into your body." Yang Qingqing commanded.

The battlefield environment was complex and chaotic; Hu Xiaoyan intended to break through to emperor status, necessitating a stable upgrade environment.

"Come back." Du Yu squeezed the beautiful fox tail gently.

"Whimper!" There was a hint of stubbornness in the fox cry.

However, Du Yu was not annoyed; instead, his gaze was gentle.

He turned his head, his lips gently pressing against the beautiful fox tail: "Be good, listen."

"Whimper~" Hu Xiaoyan’s voice softened instantly, her body quietly shattered, merging into Du Yu’s forehead·Forehead Acupoint.

"I will help you, Du Yu." Xiaoyan’s voice was resolute, "I will definitely be able to help you."

"Mm, I believe in you." Du Yu responded softly.

Once Emperor Yan ascends to emperor status, activating the Ancient Body, her physical strength would be at least at the Demon Emperor·Great Success Stage, possibly even higher.

Whether she activates the Ancient Body or not, as a Heterochromatic Demon Pet, the output intensity of her demon skills is always one level higher than her actual level!

This means that the demon skill released by Demon Emperor·Hu Xiaoyan, nominally the Eternal Diamond, is actually Shimmering Starlight.

When the time comes, even if the enemy is a Demon Saint, Emperor Yan can kill them for you!

"Xiaoyan Xiaoyan." Little Fen Yang flew into Du Yu’s Forehead Acupoint.

She extended a pair of small hands, hugging the beautiful fox head: "Focus on advancing, and later we’ll help him together, okay?"

This scene was quite paradoxical.

A cute little creature, comforting a dazzling and beautiful Great Demon Emperor?

Yet, the Beautiful Demon Fox was very obedient, softly whimpering, working hard to calm her emotions, quickly closing her fox eyes.

"Jingling~Jing~"

Du Yu’s shoulder tilted, his body uncontrollably flying to the right.

He didn’t struggle until a woman’s palm grasped his nape, placing him atop the lion’s nose.

A cool voice entered his ear: "We’ll hold the line behind with the Saint of Flowing Fire, this Cold Tree, let Xiaofeng and Sword Province cut it down."

"Let me, Master Qing." Du Yu turned his head to look at the Immortal Master.

Yang Qingqing closed her eyes, continuing to urge the Jade Gourd to storm the fortress: "You focus on assisting Xiaoyan in advancing.
