The killing machine of the Stygian Flame, whether it is real or fake, to be honest, Su Bai doesn't want to fight her sword anymore, after all, this kind of "game" that will be hung up if you are not careful is too sadistic, and he doesn't want to play it at all!

However, it is obvious that the Dark Flame is the kind of kind that says the same, and Su Bai has no doubt that if she fails to make an appointment, she will really kill the Hades Palace, and then slash herself with a knife.

A game that may die, and a dying-ready appointment, how to choose seems to be very clear.

So the next day, almost the same time as yesterday, when Su Bai came out of the library, he once again walked on the same path as yesterday...... Obviously he didn't want it in his heart, but his body was very honest, and Su Bai felt that he was about to be forced to tremble.

As he walked, he prayed: first, to bless himself to live, and second, not to awaken to something strange.

"You're punctual, that's not bad." As expected, the Stygian Flame was waiting for him on his path, and almost as soon as he spoke, the forbidden realm had been opened, and the surrounding environment had once again become the black and white forbidden world, "Today is six days, are you ready?" ”

"If I say I'm not ready, will you let me go?"

Stygian Flame asked rhetorically, "What do you say?" ”

Su Bai burst into tears.

……

In the next month, this kind of game of life and death became Su Bai's routine, and the Stygian Flame would wait for him here every day, and at the same time, the amount would increase every day, from the first three knives to six knives, six knives to nine knives, to the last ninety-nine knives, all of which made Su Bai feel that death was within reach.

Of course, if Stygian Flame really wanted to kill him, one knife would be enough, so when fighting against Su Bai, she actually had the strength to restrain herself very well, but she just used the strength that could kill Su Bai to fight him, and this kind of combat power made Su Bai have a great chance of surviving the battle, but on the contrary, the pressure he was under has not weakened in the slightest.

The time of three knives is completely different from the time of ninety knives, the former only takes a few seconds, but the latter takes several minutes or even longer, and because of this, Su Bai's struggle between life and death has become longer.

Every time the Dark Flame is cut down, Su Bai will feel the feeling that he will be killed on that **.

This feeling is very uncomfortable, but it can't be expressed in words, even Su Bai himself doesn't know how to describe it, it's just that when he began to accept this kind of battle, gradually, he was able to calmly swim between life and death, as if he was used to nature, especially from the beginning of the sixty swords, the murderous aura released by the Dark Flame could hardly shock him anymore.

Of course, a real attack will still bring him a deadly threat.

After a month, Su Bai didn't know how much he had endured, and a few times he even almost died, but it was not for nothing to pay such a huge price. One is what I just said, if a person can calmly face life and death, and is accustomed to the battle of life and death, then when he faces this threat again, he will be able to face it calmly.

Second, just as life can burst out with infinite potential when it is under great threat, under the merciless attack of the Stygian Flame, Su Bai can feel that his strength has grown significantly.

The most obvious example: when he fought the Wraith, he was already able to attack and defend.

Still comparing the weirdness of soul lust, Su Bai believes that if he is his current self, even if he does not have the Scythe of Evil and the Qiankun Talisman, Su Bai has the confidence to fight the other party head-on...... Of course, it's just a battle, and it's hard to say whether it's going to be won or lost.

These are only visible benefits, in fact, there are many invisible benefits, such as will, courage, and so on. In short, after more than a month of life and death battles, Su Bai himself could feel the reborn changes.

Then, when the day of the Ninety-Ninth Knife was over, the Stygian Flame stopped the "game".

It's not that she thinks Su Bai is qualified, or that she just lets Su Bai go, but because she ...... The annual festival of the underworld has arrived.

The so-called festival, in fact, can also be called the Ghost Festival, in fact, there is such a festival among human beings, that is, the 14th of July, legend has it that on this day, the ghost gate is wide open, and all ghosts can travel through the world, and even see the wonder of a hundred ghosts walking at night.

Of course, legends are just legends, and the Ghost Festival in the underworld actually has nothing to do with the human world, just a feast held by the ghost clan in the underworld.

As the eldest princess of the underworld, Stygian Flame naturally had to participate in this kind of feast, and as a human sage who was a guest in the underworld, Su Bai, who had a little chance of becoming a colt in the underworld, was naturally fortunate to witness it.

Halloween is held near the World Tree.

Here we have to mention the so-called World Tree. In the last era, when the world was facing destruction, the Seven Great Sages and the Thirteen Sages of the Ghost Clan opened up the Underworld, but at that time, the Underworld was just a chaotic and barren world, not to mention the Ghost Clan, even if they were as tenacious as cockroaches, they could not survive here.

As a result, the Seven Great Sages and the Thirteen Sages of the Ghost Clan had to pay for their lives and condense their own essence, blood, and qi into a small world tree, which was planted in the underworld...... When Su Bai heard this story, the first thing he thought of was that Pangu opened the world, which was very visual.

Of course, the two are still different after all.

After the World Tree was planted, vitality began to spread in the underworld, and the ghost clan also had a foothold, so to speak, this World Tree is the foundation of the entire underworld, and this situation has not changed to this day. Of course, this is not to say that without the World Tree, the Underworld will be destroyed, but if the World Tree is destroyed, the Underworld will inevitably suffer unimaginable damage.

However, there is little chance of destroying the World Tree. First of all, it has a trunk as thick and large as a skyscraper, and the branches and leaves on the treetops spread out as if to cover the sky, and the strength of the World Tree itself alone is not something that ordinary people can deal with.

It is also said that this festival is that ordinary people from the underworld can come here and feel the majesty of the World Tree up close, but even so, the guard of the World Tree will not be relaxed, but will be more serious. What's more, with the presence of Lord Hades in person, as well as the Great Prince of the Underworld, the Immortal Flame, the Eldest Princess, the Immortal Flame, the Law Enforcement Team Commander Chaos Red Lotus, and other peak-level ghost kings and countless masters of the Underworld, there is no need to worry about the safety of the World Tree at all.

Therefore, in this feast of thousands of ghosts, everyone just needs to rejoice to their heart's content.

Of course, as a festival, it is also essential to have a proper worship, which is due to the gratitude and respect of the Seven Great Sages and the Thirteen Sages who have dedicated their lives to the entire underworld. And the things of worship are also very simple, nothing more than kneeling and sprinkling wine, etc.

This festival is the most solemn feast in the underworld, and even the king of Hades does not dare to have the slightest disrespect in the worship, so today he is dressed very formally, and his face is solemn.

Su Bai doesn't understand these etiquette things, and he is not from the underworld, as long as he watches from the sidelines, he can wait for the end of the worship with peace of mind, and then he can eat, drink and have fun.

"Hey, Su Bai." Just when Su Bai yawned and wanted to sleep, a slightly familiar voice sounded in his ears, looking for prestige, he found that it was actually the bull-headed ghost Bloodie who had a relationship with each other in the previous banquet, but today she was not alone, and she was accompanied by a slightly mature female surname.

"It's you, don't you have to go to worship?" Su Bai asked.

"What do you mean by you, as if you don't want to see me." Xueti complained a little dissatisfied, Su Bai smiled, the girl was not entangled, and said, "Our task is only to be responsible for vigilance, and the worship is done by the big shots, of course, no fool will mess around in this kind of scene, so basically nothing happens to us, and then I happened to see you standing here alone, so I came to chat with you." ”

Hey, what do you call me lonely, it makes me feel like I'm pitiful.

Su Bai didn't know how to complain, and his eyes subconsciously looked at the mature woman beside Xueti.

Finding Su Bai's gaze, Xueti seemed to finally remember something, stuck out his tongue, and hurriedly introduced: "This is the chief of our Kita Village, named Yingli, the best minotaur in the underworld, and also my mentor...... Sister Yingli, he's the human sage I mentioned, and the next time I go on a mission, maybe I'll meet him. ”

"Hello." Different from Xueti's lively vitality, Chief Yingli looked very generous and mature, smiled and nodded to Su Bai, and greeted politely.

"Uh...... Hello. Su Bai didn't know what the expression on his face was now.

"By the way, what did you mean when you said that you met me on a mission?" Then, Su Bai asked towards Xueti.

Bloody replied: "When I go on a mission, I will go to the human world, sometimes it will be a day or two, sometimes it may be a month or so, and you are a human being, so we naturally have the opportunity to meet it." ”

"I see." Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief and quipped, "I thought you were here to seduce my soul." ”

"Haha." Su Bai's words made both of them laugh.

In fact, in terms of eloquence and communication skills, Su Bai is very strong, and the reason why he has no friends in human society is mainly due to his own "family", so that he doesn't want to have too much contact with others, and if he wants to, he can easily integrate into some groups.

Just like now, with a joke, it was easy to shorten the distance between the two sides, and the three of them were bored, so they naturally began to talk about each other, and the conversation was so lively.

Not to mention that the little girl was teased by him and laughed, even Sister Yingli, who looked very mature, often smiled.

However, just when the three of them were chatting happily, something happened that no one expected.

It was a crack that appeared in the sky above the underworld, as if tearing the entire "sky" in half, and then a black thunder hundreds of meters wide appeared from the crack, smashed down with a shocking momentum, and slammed into the World Tree before anyone could react.

Rumble!!!

There was an earth-shattering bang.

The giant World Tree was suddenly split in half.

In an instant, all the ghosts rose in fear, and even the face of the king of Hades showed an extremely solemn look, and even a faint trace of panic.

"Roar!!

Then, almost at the same time, an incomparably terrifying roar came from afar.

And the direction in which the sound sounded...... It's hell!

At the same time, at a great distance from the World Tree......

As if sensing something, the Demon of the Gap in the Lost House opened his eyes from his sleep, and the Dream Pavilion, which had been closed, slowly opened the door, and a violent alarm sounded in the sixth area of the stars, and the master who was sitting in the Earth Spirit Hall got up and looked into the distance......

The World Tree was split, the roar of hell, these two sudden events, even the Great Seventh Palace was alarmed.
