The shadow enveloped both inside and outside the Garden of Zhou.
In the late night of the snowy plains, there were only countless snowflakes in the night sky. No stars could be seen, but one could clearly see the shadow that extended from Xuelao City.
That shadow was even darker than the night, even colder than death. It represented the will of the Demon Lord. No matter how dazzling that sword glow pierced through it was, it could not break through it in a short amount of time.
However, that sword glow was already powerful enough, even possessing the ability to resist that shadow. The sword glow could not cut through the shadow, but it could easily cut through many other things.
For example, the terrifying arm of the third Demon General or the throat of the seventh Demon General.
The seventh Demon General clutched his throat, and like a mountain, he slowly collapsed.
The sword glow returned once more, entering the sheath and withdrawing its Qi.
However, whether it was the seventh Demon General on the verge of death or the other demon experts, none of them had any change in emotion because of this scene. This certain death situation was brimming with a daunting indifference.
Su Li lowered his head, thinking about something. His right hand gripped the hilt of his sword, and his black hair was already draped over his shoulders. In the cold night wind, it gently danced, like a demon or a god.
Black Robe's gaze pierced through the deep sea and fell on his body. He indifferently said, "Your daughter is about to die, and you are about to die as well. What sort of feeling is this?"
These words were undoubtedly a psychological attack, and could even be described as a very crude and simple psychological attack. However, simplicity did not mean that it was powerless. Black Robe wanted to use these words to break his mental state.
Su Li raised his head and calmly said to Black Robe, "Since you want to kill me, why must you have these guys take turns fighting me? If you constantly add firewood to the fire, you will only be incessantly burned to ashes. "
"As long as you add enough firewood, there will always be a moment when the fire will be extinguished." Black Robe indifferently said, "This kind of battle might pay an even greater price, but it can guarantee that you will definitely die."
Su Li was silent, because he knew that Black Robe was right.
The shadow from Xuelao City had cut off his connection with the human world, and there were still many true experts of the Demon race that had yet to act, such as the legendary Demon Commander, or Black Robe, who had always sat quietly. In order to kill the Junior Martial Uncle of Mount Li, the demons had made very meticulous arrangements.
This arrangement involved the Garden of Zhou and the distant southern continent.
No matter what countermeasures the experts of White Emperor City or the human world had, it was already too late. The Demon Lord's pressure was in preparation, and the Demon Council of Elders in Xuelao City was also waiting.
This sort of Killing technique was a grinding method. Black Robe wanted to use a sufficient number of demon experts to grind away at Su Li's sword intent and Qi, so that he could kill his opponent in such a simple and even somewhat impatient manner.
This was the only way to avoid any accidents.
"You are the most dazzling star in the human world after the war. You have brought too many accidents to this continent, and you know that I hate accidents the most."
Black Robe looked at him and said.
Su Li remained silent for a very long time, then said, "No, I won't die."
Black Robe's voice rose slightly, appearing somewhat interested as he asked, "Oh? Why? "
Su Li looked at him calmly and said, "There's no reason, nor is there any reason. I just believe that I will not die. Similarly, I believe that the girl and those children that represent the future of humanity will also not die."
Black Robe said, "I admire you for having such unreasonable confidence even before your death."
Su Li laughed again. His eyes reflected the snowy sky, as if they were about to ignite.

…
You can be afraid of pain, but you cannot be afraid of death, especially you … why? Could it be that death is not as frightening and sinister as pain? And why did you say the word 'especially'? Why can't I be afraid of death?
In the process of falling into the abyss of death, Xu Yourong thought about these words and the many things that had arisen from them. Suddenly, she understood a few principles, so she opened her eyes.
Why was it that she could not be afraid of death? Because she was a Phoenix. Her fate was predetermined. It was to constantly temper her soul between death and pain, until a certain day, when she could calmly welcome death. Only then could she truly welcome a new life!
Was this what it meant to face death and live? Empress, was this what you wanted to tell me? In just an instant, Xu Yourong felt that the endless abyss before her had suddenly become bright.
At this moment, her body was heavily injured, her true essence exhausted, and the poison corroding her body and mind. However, the principles she had comprehended made her unprecedentedly calm.
As she constantly fell, the wind between the cliffs brushed away the blood at the corner of her lips like a streak of fire.
Countless pearl-like specks of light appeared in her eyes.
As she descended into the abyss, she calmly awaited the arrival of death.
Calmness was a fearless attitude, but it was not ignorance. She sensed the sinister coldness of death, experienced the true meaning of death, and then began to fear once more.
This fear did not mean that she had left her fearless state of mind. It was still a kind of perception, a clear and distinct perception that had been deeply branded into her mind.
Only the great fear brought by death could arouse an unimaginable energy from the very core of her mind, the energy hidden in her blood!
That boundless energy began to burn, beginning to make her enter a strange state where clarity and absent-mindedness intersected. As death gradually approached, a soul deep within her body awoke.
It was the soul of the Phoenix, and also her own soul.
It was a part of herself that she had never directly looked at, or even discovered.
She opened her eyes and looked into the pitch-black abyss and the invisible yet cold night wind. She truly understood Xi's fate.
Fate had made her leave Holy Maiden Peak and come to the Garden of Zhou.
But fate had not made her meet Nanke, but had made her meet herself.
She had met her other self, her truest self.
This journey had not been made in vain!
As she fell towards death, she was filled with endless sorrow.
In the deathly silent abyss, in the silent cliff, on the lofty Sunset Valley, and in the vast world of the Garden of Zhou, a clear cry suddenly resounded.
The sound was not mature and carried a little immaturity, but it was incomparably clear and melodious.
Compared to this clear cry, Nanke's clear cry from before suddenly seemed lacking in grandeur.
This clear cry was the cry of a young Phoenix.
The aura of a king was completely revealed in this Phoenix cry!
… …
… …
Nanke quietly stood at the edge of the cliff. She did not know if she was holding a memorial for the death of her fated opponent, or if she was sighing over the fact that her life would return to loneliness from now on.
After a while, she turned around and walked towards the stone plateau between the cliffs.
The person had already passed away. Although there was some disappointment and emptiness that she had expected, there was even more satisfaction. From tonight onwards, there would no longer be anyone that could fly in the same sky as her. This was something to be happy about.
Then, the cry of the Phoenix resounded through the cliffs.
She stopped and turned to look at the night sky beyond the cliff. Her face revealed an expression of disbelief.
A pair of flame wings appeared in the darkness, illuminating the cliffs and carrying Xu Yourong into the distance.
