Chapter 557: Chapter 440: Why don’t you save me?

Wu Xiaode stared blankly at this Time Skill.

At that moment, he suddenly discovered a detail—not, a blind spot.

He had always been seeking survival.

Thus, the death skill "Silent Demon Mist" had been upgraded to "Evernight City."

But—

On this basis—

Even if he had acquired the Time Skill "If You’re My Brother, Come and Strike Me,"

he didn’t have enough strength to kill any calamity demon with a single move.

Upon careful consideration, his concealment skills included "Evernight City," summoning had "Shadow Followers," but among his attacking methods, whether it was "Sealing Hand," or "Dual Angel Seal," or even "Dark Demon King Descending," "Killing Life Dojo," none could defeat a calamity demon.

His strength was too weak.

The power of his attack skills was also not strong enough.

Thus, it created an extremely awkward situation—

There was no move that could effectively attack a calamity demon.

Wu Xiaode pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up at the wall of wishes.

The Heroic Spirits sensed his gaze and all appeared on the wall.

"Little Wu, what’s the problem?" asked the Human Emperor.

"Has anyone ever harmed a calamity demon before?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Indeed, some have injured a calamity demon, but they recover very quickly, truly difficult to defeat," the Human Emperor said.

Wu Xiaode nodded.

So many heroes of past ages had already tried.

He did not need to try again.

—It seemed that only death skills would do.

As he made up his mind, the Book of the Dead automatically turned a page, displaying that dark wall.

The Wall of Sighs that all creatures could not surpass.

This wall...

Required the sacrifice of other skills, or enough spiritual energy, to allow skill advancement.

Wu Xiaode closed his eyes.

Upon reflection—

All the things he had learned were actually meaningless.

They couldn’t defeat a calamity demon.

So.

What use was there in complicating matters?

Whether in the ring or on the street, often, only one blow was crucial.

So—

Why not focus all his efforts on creating a powerful enough attack-oriented death skill?

With this thought, Wu Xiaode suddenly saw the light.

His gaze swept over the Book of the Dead, looking at the various skills.

Iron Wire Fist, Heaven and Earth Emperor Fist, Killing Life Dojo, Dark Demon King Descending, Chaotic Greetings...

Each skill was obtained through great hardship.

But for his goal.

Useless.

Wu Xiaode’s gaze flickered, and he selected a few skills.

Dual Angel Seal had produced two angels; they were bizarre beings of the end, once sacrificed they would die, so it’s kept.

The Saber Skill "Lonely Journey through Wind and Snow" was in memory of Li Chengfeng, he had to use it when impersonating him.

Kept.

The Swordsmanship "Sparrow Shadows in the Long Moon," also kept.

Evernight City and Shadow Followers were both death skills, using them didn’t consume Soul Power, and they were main skills, of course, not to be sacrificed.

Then—

All sacrificed.

Wu Xiaode slowly raised his hand and placed it on the Wall of Sighs, softly saying:

"I wish to sacrifice the Iron Wire Fist, Slaughter Spear Skill, Side Dodge, all moves from the Human Emperor’s Teachings, Killing Life Dojo, Dark Demon King Descending, Chaotic Greetings..."

He listed all the skills.

The Wall of Sighs immediately displayed a row of ice crystal letters:

"This includes Tao Power and the power of summoning, are you sure you want to sacrifice all the above skills to enhance your ’Sealing Fist’?"

Yes.

His only offensive death skill was the Sealing Fist.

This was a death-oriented attack skill that had been upgraded all the way from the Dirty Demon Hand.

The Silent Demon Mist had already been upgraded to Evernight City.

Shadow Followers were also being advanced in an orderly manner.

But he still lacked a truly effective lethal move!

As the saying goes, to establish the new, the old must be broken—

"I am certain, please sacrifice them all,"

Wu Xiaode said calmly.

Instantly.

A glowing vortex appeared on the dark Wall of Sighs.

Various forms of power materialized from Wu Xiaode’s body as streams of light, flung into this vortex.

The light from the vortex grew even fiercer.

A few rows of ice crystal letters emerged below the vortex:

"This is an unprecedented sacrifice."

"You need to invest a considerable amount of spiritual energy to complete this epic operation."

"The current shortfall of spiritual energy is: 10 billion."

Wu Xiaode stared at this figure, suddenly jumped up and shouted,

"Hey, were you inspired by the Flag of No Beginning policy, starting with 10 billion? I’ve given all my money to that already, where am I supposed to rob 10 billion spiritual energy for you!"

The Wall of Sighs displayed another few rows of ice crystal letters:

"Whether it’s the martial arts inheritance of the Human Emperor, the Tao Power of ’Killing Life Dojo’ or the summoning from ’Dark Demon King Descending,’ each is powerful enough to stand alone."

"—This sacrifice is too large and complex."

"No one has ever done such a thing."

"Ample reserves of spiritual energy are necessary to ensure the successful completion of such a grand sacrifice!"

It sounded somewhat reasonable...

But where was he supposed to steal 10 billion spiritual energy?

Wu Xiaode exhaled, shaking his head,

"Then let’s not sacrifice for now."

Another row of ice crystal letters popped out:

"No can do, the sacrifice has already started, please gather 10 billion spiritual energy promptly!"

Damn it.

Can’t even withdraw?

Wu Xiaode felt a wave of despair.

——Fortunately, I have Time Skill. If worst comes to worst, I can go to All Worlds and live stream, specifically killing evil monsters, one slash at a time, and try to earn a bit more.

His thoughts shifted as he looked toward the wall, where the Time Skill icon with "If you’re a brother, come chop me" was marked.

There was a figure with a big saber on this icon.

Beneath it, a line of ice crystal small print:

"Passive Time Skill, you deserve to own it."

"Considering your abysmally low strength, the Flag of No Beginning specifically has lowered the casting requirement for this skill:"

"Please pay one hundred kilograms of gold each time."

"——Time is money, my friend."

Wu Xiaode slowly squatted down, covering his face in pain.

All the money had been given to the Flag of No Beginning.

This time it’s asking for 100 billion wish power, and also one hundred kilograms of gold——

Where am I supposed to steal money from!

Knock, knock, knock.

The sound of knocking on the door.

"Come in."

Wu Xiaode said, his mood low.

The door opened.

A girl with white hair and blood-red pupils floated in, placing several heads in front of Wu Xiaode.

"What’s this?"

Wu Xiaode, squatting on the ground, covering his forehead, was too preoccupied to even spare a glance.

"Families of the Destruction Council, somehow they managed to infiltrate your world, looking for an opportunity to assassinate you."

The girl with white hair and blood-red pupils brought the blood-drenched heads a bit closer, her gaze fixated on Wu Xiaode, trying to gauge his reaction.

Wu Xiaode grabbed the heads and stuffed them under his buttocks, settling down comfortably to continue brooding.

The girl paused, cautiously observing his expression.

"Encountering difficulties?"

She asked.

"Yes, I can’t cope with living anymore," Wu Xiaode said.

"I’ll help you."

The girl said with a smile.

——As long as I save the life of the human before me, I can fulfill the vow of Causality Law, and immediately gain my freedom.

Then, I’ll come back and properly torment this boy, making his screams and pain last ten thousand years!

The girl secretly vowed.

Wu Xiaode heard this and suddenly stood up and said, "You want to save me, is that it?"

The girl nodded.

"Give one hundred billion tons of gold, and I’ll give you a chance," Wu Xiaode said with a cold sneer, offhandedly.

"Agreed?" the girl asked.

"Agreed," Wu Xiaode said.

In an instant.

Two lines of ice crystal small print emerged in the void:

"You were careless."

"The other party has again cast Causality Law Skill, you’ve reached an agreement, if she pays one hundred billion kilograms of gold, you must give her a chance to save your life!"

Before the small print vanished, the girl burst into a creepy, maniacal laughter.

"Gold!"

"I can have as much of this mundane metal as I want!"

"After all, I was born atop the corpses of gods, all their wealth was inherited by me."

She directly summoned a small box inlaid with gemstones, placed it in front of Wu Xiaode, and said:

"This is one hundred billion tons of gold, I’ve fulfilled the part required by Causality Law!"

A gleam appeared in Wu Xiaode’s eyes.

Really that wealthy?

He placed his hand on the gemstone box, probing it with his Soul Power.

It really contained one hundred billion tons!

Gold!

Heaven spare my life!

Wu Xiaode immediately stashed the gemstone box into the Holy Treasure Ring.

Two lines of ice crystal small print suddenly emerged:

"Please fulfill your obligation within ten minutes, provide her a chance to save your life."

"Exceed this time limit, and you will be backfired by Causality Law."

Wu Xiaode glanced at it, and immediately shouted loudly:

"Chris!"

"I’m here!" A little fairy popped out right from behind his ears.

"Let’s go!"

Wu Xiaode grabbed the girl, and with a flash, they disappeared from the Shangmo family’s world.

...

The Heaven and Earth world.

Sare Town.

Outside the pub.

Wu Xiaode landed, standing at the entrance, and turned back to the girl behind him:

"There’s an unmatched girl inside, defeat her, and you will have saved my life, go on."

The girl looked at him, her gaze filled with deep-seated malice.

"No creature stands a chance against me..."

"Once I have killed that woman and freed myself from the bonds of Causality Law, then I’ll come back and truly torment you."

She said, then walked past Wu Xiaode, pushed open the pub door, and went inside.

Thud.

The door closed.

Wu Xiaode stood with his arms crossed outside the door, neither entering nor speaking, as if lost in thought.

"What are you thinking about, Little Wu?" Chris asked curiously.

"I’ve got the gold, now I still need 100 billion wish power, I’m trying to figure out how to handle this," Wu Xiaode said, his head aching.

No sooner had he spoken.

The pub’s door silently opened.

The girl stepped back out, her face pale, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"Eh? Weren’t you going to save me?"

Wu Xiaode looked at her in surprise, shrugging:

"——Why don’t you go ahead and save me then!"
