Chapter 639: Chapter 345: Unexplainable Things_1

"Splurt..."

With another hit landing, Red Sleeve finally loosened the corpse that had been locked onto her, quickly pushing it upwards.

The corpse fell aside like a broken kite.

Just as it hit the ground, its limbs twitched, trying to get up again, but by this point, it was riddled with wounds, most of its body necrotized, and it could only struggle in place, unable to rise.

Red Sleeve took this chance to quickly scramble up, picked up the chain, and immediately activated Phantom Shifting.

At this moment, Lin Xue had almost reached the Skeleton Throne, with a distance of hundreds of meters between them. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to catch up, but Red Sleeve had the ability to teleport, which was her biggest advantage.

With a wave of spatial fluctuations, Red Sleeve appeared dozens of meters away, and without delay, hastily teleported again.

However, teleportation, a spatial spell, couldn’t be continuously cast without a pause, if forced, it would place a huge strain on the body.

After the second teleportation, Red Sleeve suddenly threw up blood, her head spinning severely.

Nevertheless, in this moment of life and death, she had no time to rest. The moment she hit the ground, she quickly flung the chain towards Lin Xue.

"Ding!"

Lin Xue was well prepared for this. As the chain flew towards her, she swung her scythe backstage accurately, knocking the sharp edge of the chain aside.

At the same time, she took advantage of the force from the chain attack, and leapt forward further.

Seeing that her opponent was about to step onto the stairway where the inheritance was, Red Sleeve gritted her teeth and teleport again, even before teleporting, she had already thrown out the chain in her hand.

Three successive teleports, the burden was unimaginable. When Red Sleeve appeared again, blood was seeping from her mouth, nose, and ears. Her spirit was extremely scattered, and she was on the verge of fainting.

But her will to survive in this life-and-death situation allowed her to force herself on, not falling unconscious.

At this time, her position was already at the bottom of the stairs, only a step away from the throne.

Along with her appearance, the previously thrown chain also shifted over, quietly emerging behind Lin Xue’s head, attacking Lin Xue from an extremely tricky angle.

At this point, Lin Xue had already stepped onto the stairs and reached out towards the energy orb, just about to touch it. However, she didn’t expect the opponent to suddenly attack this way. Unable to dodge in time, the chain hit her helmet directly, then as if it was a spirit snake, it slipped in through the gap in the helmet’s eyeholes.

The next second, the chain was drawn back, and Lin Xue, who had finally stepped onto the platform, was pulled back.

What was brought out along with it was a segment of the blue soul. The soul’s eyes were caught by the sharp end of the chain and were slowly drawn out.

The Soul Hook, once it hit a creature’s body, could hook out and devour the creature’s soul, causing the corresponding organs of the creature to permanently necrotize.

However, at this point, although the chain had drawn out Lin Xue’s soul, the soul body was stuck after a short distance from the body and could not be pulled further.

After all, this is the weapon of the Grim Reaper, and both of them are inheritors of the Grim Reaper’s Bloodline, just like Lin Xue’s scythe couldn’t leave the Reaper’s Mark on Red Sleeve, Red Sleeve’s chain couldn’t truly swallow Lin Xue’s soul.

So, at this moment, the stalemate between Lin Xue’s soul body and the chain was like a tug of war.

And this was exactly the effect that Red Sleeve wanted to achieve.

Her strength was far superior to that of Lin Xue. Now that she had imprisoned her opponent, she immediately put all her strength into pulling her over.

However, just when Red Sleeve thought she could forcefully drag her opponent over like this, she saw Lin Xue suddenly raise her scythe and resolutely cut down at the spot where the chain had hooked her soul.

The next instant, as the blade passed by, the soul and the chain were suddenly divided in two.

A small part of the soul was swallowed up by the chain and pulled back to Red Sleeve. The remaining soul immediately returned to Lin Xue’s body.

"Madwoman..."

The word unconsciously popped up in Red Sleeve’s mind.

Originally, Lin Xue’s soul would not have been taken away by the chain, but the soul that she forcefully cut off would be swallowed up and could never return to the body.

And the part of the body corresponding to the missing soul would be permanently disabled from this moment.

Lin Xue, who had cut off her soul, acted as if she had done a normal task. Then she turned around and rushed up the stairs again without any hesitation.

Red Sleeve also reacted immediately, quickly took out a Soul Suppression Stone and crushed it, and then waved her Magic Wand to cast Phantom Shifting again.

Four consecutive teleports, an ordinary person would have fainted by now. Fortunately, the interval before the last time was longer, diluting some of the mental shock. Along with the effect of the Soul Suppression Stone stabilizing the spirit, this allowed her to hold on.

The next moment, Red Sleeve appeared on the stairs.

The orb, filled with surging energy, was now close at hand.

At this time, Lin Xue had just stepped on the stairs, lagging two steps behind her.

"I’m faster!"

Red Sleeve was delighted and subconsciously reached out her hand.

However, the moment her fingers touched the surface of the energy orb, her smile froze.

Because at this time, she already knew in her mind what the Grim Reaper was going to take from her.

"Your most treasured thing- is your appearance!"

"Sacrifice your appearance, and you will gain my power, but at the same time, you will become the ugliest person in the world!"

Red Sleeve was stunned. Her most cherished thing turned out not to be her child, but... her appearance?

At this moment, the surging energy was already being madly pumped into her body through her arm.
