After knocking down five beastly men, the vicious female escaped

Chapter 191 The Death of Sain
With just a glance, the flurry of falling snow and the chaotic footsteps of the beastmen came to an abrupt halt.

The passage suddenly closed, the dim light disappeared completely, and the entire Earth's core became pitch black.

Even Wen Shu, who has night vision, had to cling to the wall and stagger as she approached the location of the divine tree before she could see the steps beneath her feet.

She quickened her pace, and a menacing whisper from the darkness, like the veiled threat of a demon, echoed: "If you don't want to suffer, awaken the divine tree now."

Bai Qiao did not respond, but she had clearly refused. A sickening cracking sound of breaking bones rang out, followed by the female's shrill and painful scream.

Wen Shu frowned, his figure blurring as he rushed down the long steps, where he saw Saiyin grab Bai Qiao, who was covered in cold sweat.

He held down her bent arm and planted the branches of the divine tree in the center of the earth, on the black sapling that was curled up and not even half a person tall.

The moment they made contact, the pale golden light from the tree's branches and leaves burst forth with dazzling rays, enveloping the entire tree.

The blinding light caused Wen Shu, who was attempting the attack, to experience a sudden stinging pain in his eyes and make it difficult for him to see clearly.

Nourished by the golden light, the divine tree stretched and grew in the blink of an eye, like a sponge that had absorbed a lot of water, from a small seedling to a height that could break through the earth!

In contrast to the giant tree on the ground, which was decorated with sacred symbols, the real sacred tree was simple in appearance, with a trunk that dozens of people could not encircle, and a vibrant green canopy.

The only proof that it is a sacred tree is the rings of golden light that ripple as the tree trunk sways.

Beneath the tree roots, Sein raised his lips in a triumphant smile, and once again pulled up the almost unconscious Bai Qiao, making her awaken the divine tree space.

Bai Qiao's face was deathly pale, and he could barely breathe when Bai Qiao's collar was pulled up.

But she knew that if Sain succeeded, the entire continent would perish, so she gripped Sain's arm tightly and struggled desperately.

Sain smiled coldly, his hand outstretched as if to grab her neck from a distance.

Beneath the golden, radiant tree, Bai Qiao was lifted high. As a drop of blood slid down, the halo at the tree's roots condensed into a vortex, gradually forming a hole of light.

Sain's crimson eyes narrowed, revealing a determined expression, and he strode toward the cave of light. Just as he was about to get close, a cold, sharp light flashed and pierced straight toward his spine!

He raised his thick eyebrows slightly, and in the instant he turned his head, he merely raised his fingertips, and Wen Shu, who was attacking from behind, was suspended in mid-air.

She tried to break free, but the invisible force was like an airtight iron barrel, tightly binding her hands and feet.

The eyes of the man before me were almost filled with red light; I wonder how much of his true nature he still possessed… I need to find a way to expel what was inside him!
While she was pondering, Sain slowly approached, pinched her chin with his fingertips, and said condescendingly, "Little Wen, I don't want to hurt you. Wait for me here..."

The red light in his eyes dimmed slightly, revealing a hint of gentleness. "After everything is over, I'll take you back."

Upon hearing this, Wen Shu's eyes turned cold, sensing something strange.

In the illusion, the false god completely controlled the mermaid, but now, it seems that Sein still retains his own thoughts...

"Sain, wake up! Don't let him control you!"

Wen Shu looked straight into Saiyin's eyes, but he remained unmoved, instead letting out a low, enigmatic laugh. "Control? Don't do anything unnecessary, just wait patiently."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the sacred tree.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Wen Shu quickly recalled Ye Lin's experience in the Earth's core, and suddenly realized something in her mind, so she slightly raised her palm.

In the dim depths of the earth, a beam of white light, imbued with purifying power, pierced directly through the male's chest.

Sain froze for a moment, and wisps of crimson light gradually spread outwards from his unharmed chest.

With her restraints loosening, Wen Shu pressed her advantage, increasing the flow of her supernatural power. Unexpectedly, Sai Yin suddenly turned around. Faced with his powerful abilities, Wen Shu had no way to avoid it; her neck was gripped by immense force, and her feet slowly lifted off the ground!
"You... want to kill me?"

Sain narrowed his eyes viciously, his purple pupils completely filled with crimson, making them unrecognizable.

Wen Shu was out of breath, a soft "crack" sounded from her neck, her face turned pale and then purplish-red, and the veins on her forehead throbbed.

But she quickly healed herself and showed no intention of stopping.

Sensing the spirit separating from the body, the false god's eye sockets showed dark purple lines, and a chilling killing intent filled his eyes.

"court death."

His spirit is too weak now and must be nurtured in this body, otherwise it will soon dissipate.

If it weren't for the occasional influence of this body's thoughts, these people would have died at his hands long ago, instead of waiting until now.
Especially this female, she always manages to awaken Sein's consciousness, now that his body is under his control...

The veins on the back of his hand bulged, and he clenched his fist fiercely, wanting to kill the ungrateful female in front of him. Suddenly, a sharp pain surged into his mind!

Wen Shu's neck loosened, and her suspended body suddenly fell to the ground.

Before she could figure out what was happening, she felt a cold wind sweep past her neck and hurtle straight ahead.

The sound of flesh being pierced suddenly rang out beneath the tranquil sacred tree.

Wen Shu struggled to get up, and when she saw the figure under the tree, her breath caught in her throat for a few seconds.

In the hazy golden light of the divine tree, Sein's tall body knelt straight down on the ground.

A branch pierced his heart, and bright red blood dripped down the white velvet of his robe, seeping into the black soil.

"Xiao Wen..."

His handsome face was contorted with veins, as he struggled to suppress something. Seeing her look over, his furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and he murmured, "I'm sorry, I didn't protect you..."

Wen Shu clenched her fists, her amber eyes wide with shock.

As Sein gazed at her face, a deep sense of reluctance welled up within him. This was a sin sown by the merfolk, one that he should be the one to end, but…

A burning sensation rushed to his throat, followed by a surge of sweet, metallic taste. He could no longer hold on and collapsed backward beneath the sacred tree.

The pain in my chest gradually subsided, and the world fell silent for a moment.

All that remained in her vision were circles of golden light. Before she completely lost consciousness, memories of the past floated into her mind like a dream, frozen on that day, the female figure with her curved eyebrows, slowly disappearing under the moonlight...

As his aura dissipated, a nearly dissipated wisp of red mist was drawn from his body and fled in all directions in a panic.

Before it could leave Sein's chest, it was enveloped by a surging power, emitting a piercing howl, struggling and twisting, before dissipating in the snow-white light.

After healing Bai Qiao, who had fallen into a coma, Wen Shu retrieved the branches and leaves of the divine tree. Her gaze swept over the lifeless corpse beside her, her long eyelashes drooping to cover the darkness in her eyes. She turned and ran towards the long steps at the top.

She ran extremely fast, as if trying to escape something, or perhaps worried about something.

Finally, when she reached the end of the long staircase, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

But when the passage reopened, all that came into view was a vast expanse of white snow.
