"Pfft..."

With another hit from the knife, Hongxiu finally let the body locked to her loosen completely and hurriedly pushed it away.

The body fell aside like a kite with its string broken.

As soon as he landed on the ground, his limbs were squirming and trying to get up again. However, the body was already covered with scars and most of the body was necrotic. He could only struggle in place and could not get up again.

Hong Xiu took the opportunity to get up in a hurry, took advantage of the surrounding space blockade to disappear, quickly picked up the chain and started to apparate directly.

At this moment, Lin Xue has almost rushed to the Throne of Bones, and is hundreds of meters away from her. Normally, it would be impossible to catch up, but Hongxiu has the ability to teleport, which is her biggest advantage.

Following a burst of space fluctuations, Hong Xiu appeared dozens of meters away, and then without stopping, he hurriedly performed teleportation again.

However, space spells such as teleportation cannot be cast continuously without interruption. If it is cast forcibly, it will cause a huge burden on the body.

After teleporting for the second time, Hongxiu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and felt extremely dizzy.

However, at this time of life and death, she had no chance to rest. The moment she landed, she hurriedly threw the chain towards Lin Xue in front of her.

"Ding!"

Lin Xue was already prepared for this. The moment the chain flew towards him, the sickle in his hand accurately swung back, knocking the sharp edge of the chain aside.

At the same time, he took advantage of the force coming from the chain and jumped forward again.

Seeing that the opponent was about to step onto the stone steps where the inheritance was, Hong Xiu gritted his teeth and had no choice but to teleport again. At the same time, he had already thrown out the chain in his hand before teleporting.

The burden of teleporting three times in a row was unimaginable. When Hongxiu appeared again, blood was bleeding from her mouth, nose and ears. She was so disoriented that she almost fainted on the spot.

However, she still relied on her will to survive in the face of life and death to carry it over without fainting.

At this time, her position was already at the bottom of the stone steps, only one step away from the throne.

At the same time, with her appearance, the chain that was thrown out earlier also moved over, quietly appeared behind Lin Xue's head, and attacked Lin Xue at an extremely tricky angle.

At this time, Lin Xue had already stepped onto the stone steps and stretched out her hand towards the energy group. She was about to touch it, but she did not expect that the opponent would suddenly attack in this way. She was unable to dodge and was directly hit by the chain.

The helmet, like a snake, slipped in through the gap between the eyes of the helmet.

The next second, the chain was retracted, and Lin Xue finally stepped onto the steps and was pulled back.

Also brought out was a section of blue soul body. The eyes of the soul body were hooked by the tip of the chain and slowly led outward.

As long as the soul hooking rope hits the body of a creature, it can draw out the creature's soul and devour it, causing permanent necrosis of the organs at the hit location.

However, at this moment, although the chain pulled out Lin Xue's soul, the soul body was stuck just a short distance after leaving the body, and could not continue to be pulled.

Because this is the weapon of Death after all, and both of them are heirs of Death's bloodline. Just like Lin Xue's sickle cannot leave the mark of Death on Hongxiu's body, Hongxiu's chain cannot truly swallow Lin Xue's soul.

So at this moment, Lin Xue's soul body and the chain were stuck in a stalemate like a tug-of-war.

This effect is exactly what Hongxiu wants to achieve.

Her strength was much higher than that of Lin Xue. At this time, she restrained the other party and immediately pulled her here with all her strength.

However, just when Hongxiu thought she could forcefully drag the opponent here, she saw Lin Xue suddenly raise the sickle, and decisively slashed towards the spot where the chain hooked the soul.

The next moment, the blade passed by, and the soul and the chain were immediately split into two.

A small part of the soul was pulled and swallowed by the chain, and then returned to Hong Xiu's hands, while the remaining soul immediately returned to Lin Xue's body.

"Madman..."

This word came to Hongxiu's mind subconsciously.

Originally, Lin Xue's soul would not be taken away by the chains, but the soul that was forcibly cut off by her would be swallowed up and could not return to the original body.

Lin Xue, who cut off her soul, seemed to have done a small thing casually, then turned around and rushed up the stone steps again without stopping.

Hong Xiu also reacted immediately, hurriedly took out a soul-soothing stone, crushed it, and waved the wand at the same time, releasing the phantom again.

After teleporting four times in a row, a normal person would have been unconscious by now. Fortunately, the interval between the last one was relatively long, which diluted some of the mental shock. Coupled with the soul-stabilizing stone's stabilizing effect, she was able to persevere.

The next moment, Hongxiu appeared on the stone steps.

The sphere containing surging energy is already close at hand.

At this time, Lin Xue had just stepped onto the stone steps, two steps behind her.

"I'm faster!"

Hong Xiu was overjoyed and subconsciously stretched out her hand forward.

But the moment her fingers touched the surface of the energy ball, her smile instantly froze.

Because at this time, she already knew in her mind that the God of Death was about to take away her things.

"The thing you value most - is your appearance!"

"Sacrifice your appearance, and you will gain my power, and you will also become the ugliest person in the world!"

Hongxiu was stunned. What she cherished most was not her children, but... her appearance?

At this time, the surging energy was already flowing along her arms and pouring crazily into her body.

But Hongxiu was shaken, because she had already felt a pain and itching on her right cheek, as if countless tiny bugs were crawling, and the itching area continued to expand.

When she thought of the description 'the ugliest', her arms couldn't help but tremble, and she even subconsciously wanted to withdraw them.

At this moment, Lin Xue rushed from the side, like a fish that had been dry for a long time, leaping into the sea, and plunged into the energy mass without reservation.

Hongxiu looked blankly at Lin Xue, whose face was still stained with tears, and couldn't help but think of what she had just said to her not long ago: If you don't have this level of consciousness, why are you fighting for the death inheritance?

Why? Why can she be so decisive?

What is the thing she cherishes most...

The next moment, Hongxiu felt herself starting to retreat.

The impact when Lin Xue rushed into the energy ball pushed her out.

Hongxiu lost her balance and fell backwards. From the corner of her eye, she saw on the riverbed in the distance. The old man's body had stood up at some point and was facing this way.

The soles of the feet began to break into powder and disappear...

"Are you kidding? It's actually this kind of thing..." Hongxiu felt that it was really unreasonable. How could a dead body be compared with a woman's most important appearance?

In the ball of light, Lin Xue looked back with tears in her eyes, as if she saw her grandma disappearing at the end, with a smile on her lips.

The next moment, she was completely surrounded by surging energy, and her consciousness fell into chaos...

……

When Lin Xue opened her eyes again, she found that she was in a garden.

Looking around, there are familiar gardens and familiar flowers and plants.

This is grandma’s garden. She and Lin Hai often played here when they were children.

At this time, she was wearing children's clothes, maintaining her appearance when she was eight years old, lying on someone's lap, and had just woken up from her sleep.

Turning around, I saw, sure enough, grandma was sitting on the rocking chair next to the big tree, holding a book in one hand and waving the other hand above her head to drive away all the mosquitoes, bees and butterflies that wanted to get close to her.

"Grandma..." Lin Xue's childish voice sounded, and she looked at grandma in confusion, still unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.

"Xiaoxue, are you awake?"

The old man looked over kindly and reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Are you having a nightmare again?"

"Well... I had a terrible nightmare..."

Xiao Linxue also wiped the corners of her eyes with her small hands, with a lingering fear in her heart: "I dreamed that... my grandma passed away... and then I lost my grandma's body..."

After hearing this, the old man was surprised and said with a smile: "That was really a nightmare... However, your grandma's death is something you will experience sooner or later."

"How could it be?"

Xiao Linxue immediately retorted: "Grandma will definitely live a long life, and she will definitely live longer than me!"

"I'm afraid I can't live a long life..." The old man smiled bitterly and looked at the girl softly: "Grandma's life span can be calculated by counting the days on your fingers."

Xiao Linxue looked at the old man doubtfully: "Can a person's lifespan be fixed?"

"Other people's can't, but grandma's can." The old man said.

"I don't understand."

Lin Xue shook her head blankly, a little uneasy: "Grandma, do you have any disease? Then I will study medicine in the future. I am very smart. I will definitely learn the best medical skills. No matter how difficult the disease is to treat,

I will help you cure it!"

The old man smiled and shook his head: "Grandma's disease cannot be cured by medical skills..."

"Why?" Xiao Linxue became even more panicked, and her eyes suddenly filled with mist: "Then how can I help grandma?"

The old man shook his head, wanting to tell her the truth, but looking at the girl in front of him who was filled with tears, he finally softened his heart.

"If one day you encounter something that you can't explain in any case, you may have a chance to cure grandma's disease..."

"No matter what, it is something that cannot be explained..." Xiao Linxue murmured, and after a while, she suddenly smiled.

"Okay, then I'll go find it!"
