Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 806: Chapter 806: Heart Demon

”I am you! The most real you is me. You think you can escape, but ultimately you must face your true self!”

Xiao Xiao felt a dizzy spell, as if the whole world was spinning.

In an instant, her heart was filled with contradiction and panic, making it difficult to accept the self in front of her.

Xiao Xiao shook her head, trying to break free from this predicament: ”No, it’s impossible! I’m not that kind of person!”

The blackened Xiao Xiao sneered, her eyes glowing with an even more blinding red light: ”Xiao Xiao, don’t fool yourself. The darkness deep within you is your true face. Accept it, and you will truly become strong.”

Xiao Xiao’s heart struggled, tears welled up in her eyes. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: ”I will never become like you! If I become that way, the young master would never forgive me!”

The blackened Xiao Xiao paused in her tracks, staring coldly at her, with a hint of mockery and disdain in her eyes: ”Xiao Xiao, wake up! You were always like this, and even if Ye Qingchen doesn’t forgive you, what of it? You’re no longer worthy of his forgiveness!”

The black fog in the air gradually thickened, as if it were about to swallow the entire space.

The blackened Xiao Xiao’s words were like sharp thorns, piercing deep into Xiao Xiao’s heart.

Anger burned in her chest, her eyes flashing with fiery fury.

Xiao Xiao could no longer endure the taunting and disdain, with only one thought in her heart: Why wouldn’t Ye Qingchen forgive her! This person in front of her was lying!

”Does everything you say become reality? Who do you think you are! Soon, you’ll witness my power! I will always remain by the young master’s side!”

Xiao Xiao shouted in fury, her fists tightly clenched, emanating a strong fighting spirit.

The blackened Xiao Xiao curled the corner of her mouth into a cold smile, her eyes full of disdain and provocation: ”Come, Xiao Xiao, let me see how capable you really are.”

Before the words were finished, Xiao Xiao had already charged forward, her fist filled with anger aimed right at the blackened Xiao Xiao’s face.

The blackened Xiao Xiao’s eyes turned cold, gracefully sidestepping to dodge Xiao Xiao’s attack, simultaneously countering with a palm strike aimed at Xiao Xiao’s chest.

The two engaged instantly, their movements swift as the wind, with fists and palm wind interweaving in the darkness.

Every punch from Xiao Xiao was filled with powerful energy, while the blackened Xiao Xiao responded with cold and precise counterattacks.

Each collision generated a gust, stirring the surrounding black fog into a frenzy.

”Do you think you can defeat me like this? Xiao Xiao, accept reality!”

The blackened Xiao Xiao sneered, her voice full of contempt. Her movement technique was ghostly agile, with every attack seemingly able to anticipate Xiao Xiao’s thoughts, reacting a step ahead.

Xiao Xiao gritted her teeth, her forehead covered in sweat, yet she did not back down.

Xiao Xiao knew that the enemy in front of her was not just an external opponent, but also the fear and shadow deep within her heart. She could not retreat; she must destroy it!

The battle between them grew more intense, with flashes of light from the exchange of fists and palms illuminating the darkness.

Gradually feeling her energy deplete, Xiao Xiao focused only on one thing: She couldn’t lose, she wanted to stay by the young master’s side forever!

At that moment, the blackened Xiao Xiao suddenly shifted her attack, gathering a dense mass of black energy in her hands, striking fiercely at Xiao Xiao. Xiao Xiao’s eyes flickered with surprise, but she quickly reacted, focusing all her strength into one punch to meet the attack.

”Hah——!” Xiao Xiao roared, her fist carrying blazing power, fiercely striking the black energy.

The two forces collided fiercely in the air, producing ear-splitting explosions, as if shaking the entire space.

The blackened Xiao Xiao was pushed back a few steps by the punch, a hint of surprise on her face, but she quickly resumed her cold smile: ”Not bad, Xiao Xiao, it seems you truly have some skill. However, this isn’t enough.”

Xiao Xiao took a deep breath, her gaze as firm as iron: ”You’re merely a strand of my Heart Demon, truly thinking you’re strong, how ridiculous!”

The blackened Xiao Xiao snorted coldly, her red eyes blazing more intensely: ”Haha, still stubborn. Then let me see where your limits lie!”

The two rushed at each other once more, the flames of battle burning fiercely in the darkness.

With the thought in her heart, Xiao Xiao focused fully on defeating this Heart Demon.

Just then, the blackened Xiao Xiao abruptly halted her attack, looking coldly at the panting Xiao Xiao, her face showing a mocking smile.

”Haha, Xiao Xiao, look at your current state,” the blackened Xiao Xiao sneered, ”You say you want to defeat the Heart Demon, but your heart is full of anger and narrow-mindedness. You refuse to admit it, but that’s the truth. Otherwise, why would you be so easily provoked and started fighting me?”

Xiao Xiao clenched her fists, feeling a stabbing pain in her heart. She knew that the blackened Xiao Xiao’s words hit upon her weak spot, but she was unwilling to admit it.

Xiao Xiao’s eyes flickered with anger and unyielding spirit, her voice quivering slightly: ”No, I’m not that kind of person! You are my Heart Demon, and I’m fighting you to rid myself of you!”

The blackened Xiao Xiao’s smile grew deeper, her eyes full of disdain: ”Xiao Xiao, you are merely deceiving yourself. Your heart is rife with fear, anger, and unease, and I embody these negative emotions. The more you resist, the deeper these emotions are rooted in your heart.”

Xiao Xiao felt a wave of helplessness, as if a string in her heart was plucked.

At this moment, her heart was filled with contradiction and pain, unwilling to admit the blackened Xiao Xiao’s words, yet unable to fully deny them.

Xiao Xiao gritted her teeth, forcing herself to calm down: ”I won’t be influenced by you, I’ll conquer you, proving I can rid myself of Demonic Qi and avoid the possibility of demonic cultivation!”

The blackened Xiao Xiao shook her head, a hint of mockery in her eyes: ”Xiao Xiao, your persistence will only trap you further. To truly rid yourself of Demonic Qi, you must first learn to accept it, to face it, instead of stubbornly resisting and denying.”

Xiao Xiao’s heart wrestled fiercely, her thoughts like dust whipped by a storm, chaotic and unsteady.

Unknowingly, she found some truth in the blackened Xiao Xiao’s words but was unwilling to easily abandon her beliefs.

If she truly fell into demonic cultivation, Ye Qingchen would likely never look at her again!

In the future, how could she accompany the young master!

The Heart Demon won’t harm her!

Xiao Xiao took a deep breath, striving to make her voice steady: ”Don’t twist the truth here; I won’t concede. It’s just a bit of Demonic Qi! I’ll refine it! I absolutely won’t fall into demonic cultivation!”

The blackened Xiao Xiao snorted coldly, her red eyes blazing more fiercely: ”Well then, let us watch and see how long you can endure.”

Although Xiao Xiao’s heart was still in turmoil, her gaze gradually firmed up.
