As if waiting for Shui Wuhen to finish speaking, a dark gray light flashed from Shui Xiu's outstretched hand. The gray light traveled at an extremely frightening speed and in less than a second it hit Shui Wuhen's body.

Xie Feng was so overwhelmed by what had just happened in conjunction with the words spoken by the little girl that he didn't even have time to process what had just happened.

Surprisingly, Shui Wuhen's HP did not go down after receiving the attack casted by Shui Xiu. However, before Xie Feng could sigh in relief, the little girl's face turned pale as a sheet.

"Ugh...". Shui Wuhen put on an expression of pain. Her little legs started shaking until finally, she could not stand up.

Before she fell to the ground, Xie Feng immediately took her in his arms and laid her carefully on the ground.

"H-hey... How do you feel, little girl?". Xie Feng asked. If he could see his actual expression, he would certainly be surprised. For the first time since the night of Xie Yao's parents, his eyes were shaking and there were even small tears slowly building up.

Shui Wuhen looked at him for a dazed moment and only after what seemed like an eternity did her small lips slowly open and she whispered in an extremely weak voice: "Big brother, thank you for coming to help Wenwen... I am really glad I could help big brother too...".

Shui Wuhen's skin was already pale white, however, it was a beautiful white, bright, and full of vitality. However, her face at this time was sickly pale, as if her vitality was slowly being drained away. Xie Feng could even see that the veins in her body were beginning to turn black.

Unconsciously he used to inspect her.

[Shui Wuhen]

[Level: 5]

[HP: 500]

(Current status):

[Soul curse: Intermediate level curse. It directly attacks the target's soul and slowly kills its vitality while causing a great deal of pain]

At that moment, Shui Xiu's voice sounded again behind Xie Feng's back: "Soul curse is a skill that directly attacks the soul and completely ignores the number of health points of its target. As long as my enemy is ten or more levels lower than me, only five minutes is enough to end their life. In other words, that brat only has five minutes to live... I'll give you time to say goodbye".

Xie Feng's eyes shook fiercely when he heard the words of Shui Xiu. He knows that he did not lie to him, as Shui Wuhen's face got worse and worse with every second that passed.

Xie Feng knew she was in great pain at this moment, but she did not let out any screams. Except for the first groan of pain, this ten years old girl didn't let out any groans. Her eyes were fixed on Xie Feng's face and finally, after much difficulty, she mumbled in a soft voice: "Big brother... you are really very handsome...what a pity... Wenwen could have married you when she was older...hehe".

Although Xie Feng knows she probably said it to lift his spirits a bit, he didn't pay attention to her words.

Even though he and Shui Wuhen had only just met and the number of words they spoke to each other was less than 100, he couldn't help but get fond of this little girl who was willing to even give her life for him.

Therefore, his mind was actually in total chaos.

'Why...'.

'Why does this have to happen again?'.

'Why do all the people who come to me die a miserable death? Am I really cursed? Is that why even my own parents didn't want me?'.

'No!'.

'This is not anyone's fault but mine!'.

It is not the fault of fate, nor is it the fault of God. It's my fault for being weak!

If he were strong enough at the time, Xie Yao would not have cried. At the same time, if he were strong enough at this moment, Shui Wuhen would not be suffering so much pain and would not have to die.

Xie Feng was so frustrated and angry that his whole body began to shake uncontrollably. His eyes opened fiercely and the face that could rival that of a true God was deformed because of the anger.

"Big brother... are you okay?". Shui Wuhen also noticed the strange condition of Xie Feng. Even though she knew she had less than five minutes to live, she continued to worry about him.

But this finally caused Xie Feng's mind to break and his reasoning finally disappeared.

His fault?

No... It is not his fault.

The guilty ones are all the people who oppose him and all those people who want to hurt the people close to him.

'They are all to fault... '.

So, in the depths of his anger, he came to an extremely simple conclusion.

'I just have to destroy them all'.

[Ding!... For unknown reasons you have acquired a new skill]

[Ding!... You have acquired skill: Green Flame]

[Green Flame: A strange flame of unknown origin, symbolizing highest speed, and desire to be untouchable. When Green Flame starts burning, it promotes Movement Speed, Attack Speed, Evasion and Accuracy enormous scope. The scope of promotion is inestimable]

[Player Name: Shiva]

[Attack speed: 1000 ( Ten attacks per second )]

[Movement speed: 552]

[Evasion: 1475]

[Accuracy: 1770]

If Xie Feng were to see his status window now, he would certainly be stunned. But he didn't even hear the system message, so naturally, he wouldn't think about his character window.

At this point, the only thing in Xie Feng's mind was simply one thing; to kill the culprit who caused such torment to a little girl as good as Shui Wuhen.

Xie Feng placed Shui Wuhen's head on the ground slowly and carefully, as if for fear of harming even a single hair on her head. His mind was so deep in hatred that he did not even realize that the white pearl the size of a baby's fist that was hanging around Shui Wuhen's neck, glowed slightly for a moment before fading again.

When Xie Feng saw Shui Xiu's face, he felt all the anger he felt suddenly disappear, as if it had never existed in the first place. He looked at him for a moment with a cold and indifferent gaze, as if he were looking at a dead person and not a living one.

Shui Xiu also noticed the green flame burning over Xie Feng's body, but he was not worried at all. After Shui Wuhen was struck with her curse, the Pearl of Light finally stopped repressing him. Now, his strength had returned to normal again.

Xie Feng used inspect for curiosity and the result did not surprise him.

[Shui Xiu]

[Grade: EMPEROR]

[Level: 30]

[HP: ????]

[MP: ????]

[Description: ????]

[Skills: ????]

The original grade of Shui Xiu was EMPEROR and not IMMORTAL, as Xie Feng had previously assumed. Still, that does not change the fact that he was a Boss grade EMPEROR level 30!

Even if Xie Feng cannot see the HP of Shui Xiu due to the large difference in levels, he knows that his HP points are 200000, as he saw it when the Pearl of Light effect was still active.

In the current stage of the game, the average damage of the players is between 100 and 150 per basic attack each second. Not only is it impossible for players to do 200,000 points of damage at the current stage, but it is also even impossible to hit Shui Xiu, as their Accuracy has a great deficiency compared to the level of a Boss grade EMPEROR level 30.

"I see that the goodbyes are over. Then let me do you a favor... I'll finish very soon!". Shui Xiu shouted with a petulant smile.

*Sou!*

*Sou!*

*Sou!*

*Sou!*

*Sou!*

Without warning, more than 10 undead scythes shot out of all parts of Shui Xiu's body in the direction of Xie Feng.

Even after recovering all his strength, the fox-like mind of Shui Xiu had not changed at all. Even knowing that his enemy was only a fourteen level player with low-level equipment, he made a surprise attack with no intention of letting him breathe.

From Xie Feng's point of view, the scythes moved at a slow speed like a snail.

For the first time, he felt extremely comfortable since he started playing not only Samsara Online but all the 100% immersive virtual reality games that were available in the past.

For the first time, he felt that he could move freely.

But what he did wasn't dodging.

With an imperturbable expression on his face, he simply let the scythes hit his body.
