In Zhao Huai's consciousness, a ball of white light appeared.
Behind that white light, a figure was getting closer and closer.
It was her, it was little Ning'er.
Little Ning'er was shaking her head and muttering something.
Beside her, there was also a little boy, and that boy was the young Zhao Huai.
Zhao Shuning was wearing a light green long dress with bright red plum blossoms embroidered on the hem.
"Little Ning'er looks really beautiful today. You're as charming as the peach blossoms in spring and as pure as the chrysanthemums in autumn. If you were a bit older, you'd surely grow into a beauty that would captivate the world."
"Brother always knows how to praise people."
"Does little Ning'er want to hear more?"
"If brother can come up with more, I definitely want to hear them."
Both figures burst into laughter.
Zhao Huai watched all this with tears welling up in his eyes. He reached out his hand, trying to touch the little girl in the white light.
He remembered all this. It was the day of little Ning'er's fifth birthday banquet.
He was sitting in a wheelchair, and little Ning'er was afraid he'd feel bored, so she talked to him.
The little girl's smile was so bright.
Seeing this, Xia Wanning looked at the others.
"I know his weakness. You continue to withstand the Heavenly Thunder with all your might. Give me a bit more time."
"Thank you, Elder Xia."
Although Mo Bai didn't know why Xia Wanning could control Zhao Huai, the offensive of the Heavenly Thunder was indeed much weaker than before.
In Zhao Huai's subconscious, another young girl appeared.
At this moment, the young girl was wearing a water - green long dress and standing in the distance, smiling at Zhao Huai.
Zhao Huai's hands were full of blood. He reached out his hands, wanting to hug the young girl.
The young girl stopped when she was five steps away from Zhao Huai.
"Little Ning'er—"
Zhao Huai murmured these three words.
But because of his previous struggles, his mouth was filled with blood, so the others couldn't hear clearly what he was saying.
The young girl smiled at Zhao Huai.
"Brother, don't do this, okay?"
Zhao Huai said, "They want to kill me."
"But brother is the kindest and most gentle person. You won't do this, right?"
"Little Ning'er—"
"Brother, don't hurt me, don't hurt everyone, okay?"
Zhao Huai laughed. As he laughed, the blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth.
"Brother, brother, promise me, okay?"
The force around his ankle was getting tighter and tighter.
But Zhao Huai was still smiling.
"Little Ning'er, brother will protect you. Even if I'm against the whole world, I won't bear to hurt you."
"I knew brother was the best. Brother, they are all innocent. Let's spare them, okay? There are countless of your descendants in the Ghost Domain. If you attract the powerful Heavenly Thunder, they will be wiped out too."
Zhao Huai said, "Little Ning'er, they want to kill me."
"Brother, you're a hero. Sacrificing yourself can save so many living beings. You must be willing to do it, right?"
The other seven people didn't know what Zhao Huai was experiencing in his subconscious at this moment, but they could feel that Zhao Huai's vital energy and blood were getting weaker and weaker, and his will to survive was also getting lower and lower.
Xia Wanning secretly formed a magic seal with her hands, then roared, "Now is the time."
In his subconscious, Zhao Huai, whose fiery pupils were almost closed, suddenly opened them, and the fire in them blazed brightly.
Xia Wanning was also severely injured. Her real body by the river spat out a mouthful of blood.
But she didn't dare to relax at all.
She immediately transformed the image of her spiritual power into Zhao Shuning's appearance.
In the white light, the young girl covered her chest and also lay on the ground. She propped herself up, with tears in her eyes, and said, "Brother."
Under the fiery pupils, the Zhao Shuning transformed by Xia Wanning looked extremely pitiful.
"Brother, what are you doing? I'm little Ning'er. I'm your younger sister."
"No, you're not."
"Brother."
After a flash of fire, Xia Wanning spat out another mouthful of blood.
"You're not my younger sister. Little Ning'er values her relatives most. She won't give up the lives of her family for the sake of all sentient beings."
"Brother."
"You're not her. Even if there are countless living beings, if someone wants to hurt me, little Ning'er will never say such words. If the whole world betrays me, then I'll kill everyone in the world."
This was Zhao Shuning's personality.
She said she wasn't great and couldn't be a hero. She was very stubborn and protective. If someone wanted Zhao Huai to sacrifice himself for the peace of the world, she would definitely be the first to rush out and disagree.
This was Zhao Shuning, his younger sister. Zhao Huai knew her very well.
Seeing that her plan was exposed, Xia Wanning got up from the ground.
A sinister smile began to appear on the corner of her lips.
Her body slowly transformed into her original appearance.
"Xia Wanning, it's really you."
"Zhao Huai. No, at this moment, I should respectfully address you as the Supreme Beast. But you've awakened too late. Everything is already a foregone conclusion."
Zhao Huai felt an even stronger sense of uneasiness.
At this moment, in reality, he opened his eyes again and found that too much of his blood had seeped out. The Star Disk Formation and the Sacrifice Formation had officially started.
"You ignorant kids. How can a mere mortal body trap this deity?"
Zhao Huai exerted force with his hands, and the meridians in his whole body began to circulate again.
Once the great formation started, it couldn't be stopped. This body had to exert all its strength and be completely sacrificed to Mo Bai before it would stop.
Zhao Huai's primordial spirit began to slowly leave his body.
He wanted to escape from here, but there was also a Five - Element Formation set up above his primordial spirit. At this moment, it was very difficult for him to leave.
Even if he gave up this body, they would still find a way to take away the power of his primordial spirit.
"Can you guys withstand the inheritance power of this deity?"
At this moment, a tiger began to circle between Mo Bai's eyebrows.
He had really good talent and had also received the inheritance power of the Flaming Fire Dragon. Over the years, he had devoured many Yuan Pills. So now, Mo Bai's body could withstand this inheritance power.
"Do you think you can stop this deity from leaving?"
Zhao Huai's primordial spirit rushed out. With a roar, the roars of many wild beasts began to resound around the Ghost Domain.
Judging from the momentum, those ancient ferocious beasts were all rushing towards their location.
"We can't wait for those beasts to rescue him."
"Now turn the Star Disk and use his own power to kill him."
There was finally a trace of panic in Zhao Huai's primordial spirit.
How did a small Divine Sect know such a strange method?
Just when Zhao Huai was about to sacrifice his primordial spirit and self - detonate to destroy the entire Ghost Domain, the sound of a phoenix's cry resounded above the Ghost Domain.
A phoenix?
How was that possible?
The previous phoenix's cry was clearly a falsehood set up by the people of the Divine Sect.
Why would a real phoenix appear at this moment?
