I am a witch, I must suppress all enemies

Chapter 138 The Supreme Ruthlessness

"Aya. Put me down." Xinxue's voice was a little weak.

"No! Absolutely not! Your injury hasn't healed yet."

Claire hugged Xinxue tightly, refusing to let go. She could clearly feel Xinxue's soft and fragile body leaning against her back, as if it would break at any moment.

Thinking back to the girl who was always a little proud and aloof to the point of being distressing, and how she ended up in such a situation just because she had played tricks with her, Claire couldn't help but feel a surge of self-blame and confusion in her heart.

"Blood essence...how many have you collected so far?" After a moment's silence, Xinxue broke the silence and asked softly.

"About sixty or so."

"More than sixty..." Xinxue's voice was as light as a mosquito, and it seemed that even speaking required a lot of effort.

At this time, Xinxue slowly raised her hand, gently hugged Claire's neck, rested her head on her shoulder, and greedily sniffed the scent emanating from Claire.

The faint fragrance gradually relaxed Xinxue's tense nerves.

"It's okay. There are still thirty left. I'll stay with you until the end."

"Fool......"

Claire stared quietly at the vast, inky black starry sky in the distance. For some reason, she no longer felt the fear and anxiety she had felt before.

On the contrary, an inexplicable tranquility and peace came over me.

She suddenly wanted to save Jie so that the three of them could go together to a beautiful planet covered with gorgeous flowers, away from the hustle and bustle and disputes, and live a carefree and peaceful life.

There will be no more fierce battles, no more deep-rooted hatred, and no more cruel fights.

It was not until this moment that Claire suddenly realized that what she had been pursuing was not the unattainable, supreme power, but the simple happiness that seemed insignificant yet extremely precious.

She suddenly felt like crying.

Why do we only understand this when people around us get hurt?

Xinxue noticed the complex and sad expression on Claire's face and spoke softly:

"I don't blame you... In this world, without power, you can't protect the people you care about... right? Is this the way the world is?"

"Yeah, there's nothing we can do."

"We are all helpless and have no choice."

"Your identity as Daoguo has been exposed. That fellow Yanhe might have exposed my affairs as well."

Claire took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

It took her a long time to calm down and regain her sanity.

"We may be facing the whole world's enemies."

"Aya. Eat my Dao Fruit, and you will become stronger." Xinxue suddenly spoke with an extremely serious tone.

Hearing this, Claire raised her head abruptly and stared at Xinxue with wide eyes, her face full of disbelief.

"Do you know what you are talking about? Dao fruit is the combination of your essence, energy and spirit. Eating the Dao fruit means..."

Her voice trembled a little, as if she didn't dare to say the rest of the words.

"I know."

"No! I absolutely don't agree to that!"

"There's nothing we can do, Aya. You said it yourself. We live in this kind of world and have no way of deciding our own destiny."

"I would never hurt a friend," Claire said firmly.

Suddenly, the stars around, which had been quietly twinkling with faint light, began to shake and tremble violently, as if they were impacted and disturbed by some mysterious force!

I saw an extremely huge meteorite, comparable to a planet, suddenly shattered under the influence of this inexplicable force, turning into countless small pieces of stone that flew in all directions.

Claire and the other person who were in the middle of it had no time to react at all before they were instantly blown thousands of feet away by the powerful impact.

Claire felt a sharp pain. Someone had cast a "Soul-Destroying Curse" on the meteorite!

But she endured the discomfort of her body, quickly stabilized her body, and immediately checked on Xinxue's condition beside her.

At this time, Xinxue was seriously injured and dying.

Claire was extremely anxious and didn't dare to delay even a little. She quickly used her magic to carefully put Xinxue into the small space she carried with her and placed it properly.

Then, she looked around vigilantly, trying to find the source of the terrifying power.

At this moment, a chilling, bone-chilling voice, as if from the Netherworld, slowly came from the endless void:

"That's really touching. I didn't expect there would be someone as loyal and righteous as you in the Kuixu River System. It's really unbelievable."

As this cold voice rang out, four figures gradually emerged from the ethereal darkness.

The leader was a slender young man, his white robes rustling in the wind. In his hand, he held a long sword that shone with cold light. He exuded an extremely sharp sword aura. He said coldly, "I am the Jueqing Sword."

Standing to his right was a stern-faced middle-aged man, also dressed in white. He held a strangely shaped long sword, the blade of which shone with a strange blood-red light. He said in a sinister tone, "I am the Love Slashing Sword."

On the left was a white-haired old man in black. He held a spear tightly in his hands. The tip of the spear flashed with cold light, like falling stars. He said in a loud voice like a bell: "This old man is the ruthless spear."

The Taoist priest at the back, who looked like an immortal, was completely shrouded in thick fog, his features unclear. He brushed away the dust in his hands and said with a smile, "I am the Taoist who forgets his feelings."

"Who are you? How dare you, four of you, mess with me?"

Claire quickly determined that the opponent was also a Star God-level figure, and very powerful! Almost at the level of a Star Slinger!

And...she even felt that the other party seemed to be in a "restricted" state.

"The four of us are celestial generals from the Tianhe system, and we have been ordered to capture you, the little witch. Girl, that was the Dao Fruit you hid just now, right? I've heard about it."

The Taoist's smile looked so refreshing that it was hard to feel any dislike towards him.

But such a person uses forgetfulness as his motto...

Claire said coldly, "If you want to fight, then fight. Why waste time talking?"

Jueqing Sword took a step forward, but was blocked by Wangqing Taoist.

"Girl, now that you've strayed from the right path and committed murder, are you trapped by love? Killing is irrelevant. I see you have considerable talent, so why dwell on matters of the heart? Why not join my path of extinction and share the supreme path of forgetting emotions?"

"In this way, not only can we escape worldly worries, but we can also pursue the great truth. Isn't this a great joy in life?"

"I have a poem to give you: Cultivation is inherently ruthless, so why ask why when you kill? The Supreme Being is ruthless and must forget about emotions, so I can wander freely and unfettered."

After saying this, Taoist Wangqing stroked his beard gently, his face full of anticipation.

“Hahaha…hahahaha.”

Claire couldn't help but stroke her forehead. "Ah, so annoying... so annoying. Why are there always some weirdos blocking my way?"
