From his various actions, be it risking his life to forcefully invade this world, or messing up her rhythm because of Shi Xiaobai's mockery, it was obvious that the Arch-Cardinal thought highly of himself and had a heart of glass that could easily be infuriated.
Xiao Xiao acutely noticed this point, and she planned on using this to stall for time.
However, dreams were beautiful, but reality was cruel. Although the Arch-Cardinal had a heart of glass, he was not tofu pudding. To be able to become an archbishop of the Church of Virtuality, he could not be that stupid.
He knew that the longer he stayed in this world, the greater the risk. After struggling internally, he finally decided to choose the safest method. In fact, he should have done so from the beginning, but his anger had gotten to his head.
But it was not too late!
A black gas constantly rose from the ground, surging towards the black blob of light in the Arch-Cardinal's palm. The world reverberated with ghostly howls, as a sinister and terrifying aura caused the forest to be shrouded in a layer of deathly gray.
The next Undead Summoning spell would end everything.
.....
Xiao Xiao fell into a slight daze as she realized the seriousness of the situation.
The Arch-Cardinal's Undead Summoning spell at full strength was definitely at a level that could crush them.
"We have to interrupt his spell casting!"
Xiao Xiao hurriedly shouted at Shi Xiaobai, who was a thousand meters away. However, after shouting, she seemed to realize something as she shook her head with a wry smile.
The Arch-Cardinal was clearly afraid of Shi Xiaobai's Pig Slaughtering Knife, so he had deliberately flown a hundred meters above the ground before releasing his ultimate move. Unless Shi Xiaobai could fly, there was nothing he could do to the Arch-Cardinal.
Now, the only person who could interrupt the Arch-Cardinal's continuous casting was her!
However, could her arrow break through the Arch-Cardinal's defense?
Xiao Xiao gave a wry smile, but her eyes immediately turned resolute. Regardless of whether she could or not, she had to give it a try.
Xiao Xiao raised her crystal bow and aimed it at the red-robed figure in the sky. Psionic Power surged from her body to her fingertips, transforming into a hard Psionic Arrow. Pulling the bowstring to its fullest, she took a deep breath and released the arrow!
"Crimson Netherworld!"
Xiao Xiao did not dare to hold back with this arrow.
"Boom!"
A black barrier suddenly appeared, blocking the arrow in midair!
"Barrier of Darkness!"
Xiao Xiao sighed. Even WindWithoutTrace had obtained the protection of the Barrier of Darkness, so the Arch-Cardinal naturally had the protection of the Barrier of Darkness as well.
Xiao Xiao recalled the four Crimson Netherworld arrows that had been perfectly blocked by the Barrier of Darkness and immediately felt a little discouraged. She couldn't even shake the Barrier of Darkness with her crystal arrows, let alone the Psionic Arrows that were a grade lower in hardness.
In the face of this black barrier, she was too weak to do anything.
Suddenly, a voice came from afar.
"This barrier is ten times weaker than before!"
Xiao Xiao hurriedly traced the voice and saw that Shi Xiaobai's figure had already disappeared into the forest. However, his voice came from the forest and reached her ears.
These words were purposely said for her to hear.
Wait, this pervert said that the Barrier of Darkness is ten times weaker than before?
How could you tell?
After a moment of thought, Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up. If she did not remember wrongly, the Vision of Divine had an ability known as the "Eyes of Data". The "Eyes of Data" could accurately convert all sorts of information into data. If Shi Xiaobai had the Eyes of Data, he could indeed tell the strength of the barrier of darkness.
However, wasn't the little pervert's Vision of Divine "Insight of Weakness"?
Xiao Xiao was somewhat puzzled. Although the Six Senses of Divine had many forms of manifestation, no one had ever possessed multiple divine senses, much less multiple abilities. In theory, the "Eyes of Data" and "Insight of Weakness" were unable to coexist in the same pair of eyes.
Xiao Xiao shook her head and temporarily threw these questions to the back of her mind. She did not have the time to investigate these problems in knowledge.
"It looks like the Arch-Cardinal is unable to consider his defense when casting the spell, so the Barrier of Darkness is ten times weaker."
Xiao Xiao came to the most reasonable conclusion as a glimmer of hope arose in her heart.
Since the Barrier of Darkness was ten times weaker, it was not impossible for her to shatter it!
Xiao Xiao released her Psionic Power once again, condensing a new Psionic Arrow.
.....
Moments later, Xiao Xiao weakly lowered her crystal bow.
Ten times. A total of ten "Crimson Netherworld" shots. She had consecutively shot "Crimson Netherworld" ten times at full strength, yet the Barrier of Darkness did not shatter from beginning to end. It did not even tremble slightly!
Wasn't it said that it was ten times weaker?
Xiao Xiao sighed faintly as she looked up into the sky. The black blob of light that was gradually condensing had become extremely large, gradually forming the shape of a gigantic door.
Xiao Xiao could not imagine how many undead armies would surge out if the Arch-Cardinal's ultimate move succeeded. It was probably a number that would make them feel utter despair.
"Is this the end?"
Xiao Xiao's lips trembled slightly as she felt a sliver of despair.
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the forest as a figure suddenly appeared in midair!
Xiao Xiao focused her eyes and her pupils constricted. The figure that had leaped high up was none other than Shi Xiaobai. With the Pig Slaughtering Knife in his hand, he stabbed into the sky, as though he was stabbing through the black haze that filled the sky.
However, the highest height Shi Xiaobai could reach after leaping up was only about ten meters.
The Arch-Cardinal was a hundred meters up in the sky.
Without any suspense, this knife stung loneliness. Shi Xiaobai struggled in midair for half a second before plummeting to the ground in a comical posture. He fell flat on his back.
What was this fool doing?
Xiao Xiao was dumbfounded.
Just as she was in a daze, she saw Shi Xiaobai quickly climb up from the ground. This time, she saw the entire process.
She saw Shi Xiaobai survey his surroundings and find a relatively tall tree. Like a monkey, he climbed to the top of the tree and stood up shakily. With a forceful kick, he leaped high up into the sky.
However, the tallest tree in the forest was only about ten meters tall. This jump was destined to not touch the Arch-Cardinal who was a hundred meters above him!
Without any suspense, Shi Xiaobai fell to the ground in failure. However, he immediately got up from the ground and continued his attempt that was impossible to succeed.
"This fool thinks he can jump ninety meters?"
Xiao Xiao was rendered speechless, but for some reason, she suddenly felt uncomfortable.
She wanted to shout at Shi Xiaobai, "Give up, you are doing silly things." However, it was as though there was a fishbone stuck in her throat, preventing her from saying a word.
If it were in the past, she would have scoffed at such a ridiculous act, and would even make fun of it in her heart.
But at this moment, her eyes were slightly red.
She was somewhat touched, but most of it was shame.
Just as she was about to give up.
Yet, he was still making a ridiculous effort.
He was still filled with hope despite the great distance of ninety meters.
And when she saw the short distance of a few centimeters when she released her grip, she felt despair.
He did not say the words "don't give up" to her, nor did he request for her to continue persevering at this critical juncture. He only silently and unwaveringly tried his best to do what he could.
And she … What was she doing?
"What a fool."
Xiao Xiao exhaled. Something seemed to slip away from her heart, but it also felt like it was being filled up by something.
She raised her crystal bow as white Psionic Power spewed out from her fingertips. A Psionic Arrow slowly condensed.
Not enough! Not enough! Not enough!
Xiao Xiao gritted her teeth and did not stop releasing Psionic Power. White energy constantly flowed into the Psionic Arrow, causing it to become more solid and harder.
Feeling the little amount of Psionic Power in her body being drained bit by bit, the corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth gradually curled up.
Gradually, her body began to turn limp as her vision began to blur. Her feet were constantly trembling, and her hand was almost unable to hold onto the increasingly dazzling Psionic Arrow. However, Xiao Xiao did not stop. It was as though she was squeezing out all her strength as she constantly released Psionic Power.
At the instant she was about to lose all her strength, Xiao Xiao finally released her grip!
By releasing her grip, she could grasp hope once again!
This arrow was called "Never Give Up"!
.....
Xiao Xiao did not see the scene of the arrow shooting into the sky because at the moment she released her grip, she had already fallen backwards and plopped to the ground.
However, she knew that this arrow would succeed. This was because her Crimson Netherworld had reached the Exemplary Mastery realm when she shot this arrow. It was also because this arrow had used all her strength.
Indeed, after a deafening explosion resounded in the sky, an angry voice immediately resounded.
Xiao Xiao imagined the Arch-Cardinal's flustered and exasperated look and gave a knowing smile. She struggled to get up from the ground, but just holding up her upper body had expended the last of her strength.
However, holding up her upper body was enough.
This was because Shi Xiaobai happened to be falling from the sky. When he got up from the ground, he turned around and saw her.
They were separated by a thousand meters as they exchanged glances.
She nodded at him.
He waved his hand at her.
At this moment, a gigantic black door suddenly descended from the sky. The door was inserted into the ground, as though it was a black wall that spanned across more than half the forest. It separated Xiao Xiao and Shi Xiaobai at the two ends of the door.
There was only darkness in front of Xiao Xiao's vision.
In the darkness, dozens of gigantic bone dragons flew out. Rows after rows of black skeleton soldiers stepped out.
They appeared from the two ends of the door, with a portion going left and a portion going right. This door of darkness had separated the forest into two worlds, but it was the same hell.
Xiao Xiao's face immediately turned snow-white. This was because several bone dragons were flying towards her, but she no longer had the strength to escape.
