Ch. 2351..2360

 

Chapter 2351 Chapter 2351 Unexpectedly, an unusual world appeared in front of Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton, almost blinding them with glaring brightness. They could see an endless sea of red spider lilies before them, where each glistened vividly in full bloom.

Although it was currently autumn in Atlantis, supposedly the most comfortable season of the year, it now felt as cold as winter. Bone-chilling breezes blew from every direction.

Xyla and Stanley were freezing and both shocked by the peculiar scene they were seeing.

The elevator incident was strange enough, but whatever this was made it even weirder.

There were no longer in the real world.

According to myths, red spider lilies only grew along the pathway to hell.

Xyla couldn't help but think they had gone to the Underworld somehow.

Did the elevator take them all the way down to hell?

She couldn't help but gasp at the thought.

Stanley frowned as he gazed at his wife. "Don't be afraid. No matter where this place is, I will protect you."

She nodded but still couldn't help feeling restless.

A golden ray of light suddenly appeared before them, and they began experiencing a headache right after.

Various memories began appearing in their minds regarding Betty Starmount, the nine-tailed demon fox, and Sophie Kenwick.

They remembered everything that happened with the nine-tailed demon fox in their past lives and how much Sophie had sacrificed for them.

Every memory flooded their minds, making their heads throb with the massive amount of information.

Xyla could barely stand as she cradled her head in her hands and leaned against Stanley while the memories kept flooding back.

The whole process took approximately one hour to complete before they managed to retrieve all their lost memories.

lin She grabbed her husband's hand in despair, Honey, I-I can remember some things that seemed very real.

They were about Sophie any real.

the nine-tailed demon fox..."

She was drenched in sweat as she spoke. It was challenging to process that much information for an ordinary human.

She felt physically and mentally weakened.

He was in a similar state.

"Yeah. You don't have to tell me," he interjected before Xyla could finish her sentence. "I received the same information you did." Within seconds, they both felt an aching sensation in their hearts concerning Sophie.

She was a silly girl who made the fatal decision for their family.

Soon, scenes of the young girl going through hell played in their minds.

Sophie was tortured in various ways by being cut, burnt, frozen, and skinned alive. She had suffered in great pain in every scene. Xyla began crying earnestly, feeling as heartbroken as her husband.

She collapsed to her knees on the ground with both hands holding her throbbing head as she looked up at Stanley, who seemed lost. "Honey, I saw Sophie being tortured in hell. Did you see all that?"

He could only nod wordlessly, his expression tormented.

"This foolish girl," Xyla went on, her voice trembling with every sob. "She made a deal like that to find and kill the nine-tailed demon fox forus. That was so stupid.

"Why would she do that for us? Was it worth it?"

Chapter 2352 Chapter 2352 "She even had our memories erased in fear that we would find out. Such a foolish girl," Xyla Quest lamented sadly.

Everything she had seen made her hate the concept of fate even more. She thought that karma from a past life was illogical. Everything in the past should have been resolved in that lifetime.

Why did it have to be brought into the next life?

Xyla wouldn't have minded bearing her own karma in this life. Why did God allow someone else to do it for her?

Sophie Kenwick was innocent, so why then did she have to suffer all this on behalf of Xyla and Stanley Batton?

All the painful memories related to the young girl began appearing in her mind, with every scene feeling like a stake through her heart.

Beside her, Stanley felt equally heartbroken.

Suddenly, the air felt more dense, and the temperature seemed to have dropped further to become even colder.

"How did we suddenly recall our memories?" she asked.

Sophie had erased their memories, but who caused them to come flooding back?

They somehow ended up in this strange place and got their erased memories retrieved thereafter before witnessing how Sophie had been suffering in hell. Why was this happening?

Who was behind all this?

They were curious to know the reasons behind all these unanswered questions.

"Hahaha! Hahaha!"

Suddenly, they heard the sound of a man's cold laughter, his voice as eerie as the world before them.

Xyla's body trembled as she stood up, gripping Stanley's hand tightly as they peered around them.

They could hear that haunting laughter coming from every direction.

It was like Satan's curse.

However, they couldn't see the person who was laughing.

Xyla frowned, gazing up at the bright sky. "Who are you? Stop pulling tricks. Show yourself and speak to us in person if you dare!"

"Hahaha," the voice erupted in amusement, echoing around them. "Xyla, you're quite brave. You're already in this place, yet you still dare to raise your voice against me.” That voice sounded otherworldly with a three-dimensional sound effect.

They couldn't tell where it originated as their eyes darted around without seeing anyone.

"Come out! Why did you bring us here? Where is this place?" Xyla yelled in frustration. "Also, why did you make us remember those things? What's your objective?"

Her husband stood motionless beside her, shivering from the cold.

"Hahaha, what's my objective? Naturally want you both to pay for your sins with your own blood. Did you think that sacrificing Sophie could atone for what you owed me?” the harsh voice said.

She finally understood then. That voice probably belonged to the nine-tailed demon fox.

"It's the nine-tailed demon fox," Xyla muttered to Stanley, her body shuddering uncontrollably. He nodded.

"But I thought Sophie got rid of him already. Why is he still able to roam freely?" she wondered aloud.

Chapter 2353 Chapter 2353 Stanley Batton shook his head slightly, feeling equally confused.

"If you have any questions, you might as well ask me. What's the point of murmuring between you?" the voice said. "Xyla, my original plan was to torture you and Stanley adequately before killing you both.

"I wanted you to feel the pain of losing everyone important to you right before losing your life. I just never expected Sophie to appear out of the blue to take my life, leaving me in my spirit form to wander this world."

Fear began to spread through Xyla Quest. Her palms dampened with sweat instantly upon realizing the grave danger they were in.

They were only ordinary human beings whereas the nine-tailed demon fox proved to be a deadly adversary despite being in his spirit form.

"Where is this place? Are you going to kill us?" she asked boldly.

At this point, Xyla knew being fearful wouldn't solve anything. She had to face her fears head-on no matter what. So, she forced herself to remain calm.

"This is the pathway to hell," he answered. "Sophie wasn't the only one to strike a deal with a deity. I did that, too.

"I went to Hades before my time was up to offer him an ancient artifact in exchange for his help to bring you two here. He allowed me to kill you.

"You should be glad I am only in my spirit form. I can only cause trouble here but not back in the human realm. Otherwise, why would I get rid of you two so easily? Why would I let you die in peace?" the demon fox added.

Up until then, he still hadn't shown himself to them.

Xyla and Stanley were still facing a sea of red spider lilies, surrounded by the cold.

They frowned simultaneously at what he said.

Stanley moved forward to stand in front of his wife in a protective 2 Do whatever you want to me, but let Xyla go. I will do anything as long as she's free to leave.

His voice sounded firm without even the slightest hint of hesitation. It made Xyla feel so moved and loved.

People often say that a person's true colors are revealed during times of crisis.

She had never been more certain of how much he loved her until that very moment.

Stanley loved her deeply, even more than his own life.

She couldn't help but tear up at his words to the demon fox.

She moved to stand directly in front of the man she loved in an attempt to protect him. “No, let Stanley go. Kill me if you want. I'm willing to pay any price," she declared confidently.

"Take whatever you think we are indebted to you from me. Let my husband go. You hate me, don't you? And you want us to have a taste of what it feels to lose everyone we love?

toFindNovel.net "If so, won't killing only one of us while leaving the other alive be more satisfying?

"It won't matter which one of us dies. The one who survives would forever be in pain. That is a much better revenge than killing both of us, don't you think?" she added.

Chapter 2354 Chapter 2354 Xyla Quest proved to be as brave as a female commander when her motivation was to protect the man behind her.

She needed Stanley Batton to live no matter what happened to her.

The nine-tailed demon fox began to laugh when he heard her.

Then, a golden ray of light flashed before a man wrapped in a long, red robe appeared in its place.

Xyla thought he looked familiar, resembling the character who once appeared in her dreams before.

There was no difference in both of his appearances.

She frowned, subconsciously pulling Stanley backward like a hen protecting its chick. "You're the nine-tailed demon fox."

He smiled in a way that had a sinister effect. "Indeed, I am."

According to legends, he was a fox that transformed into a human.

He naturally had good looks and seemed attractive, particularly when he smiled.

However, he had a cold aura around him that overshadowed his attractive looks.

Despite how good-looking he was, he still instilled fear in others.

"You appeared so suddenly. Do you agree with my earlier suggestion?" There was a sense of urgency in Xyla's eyes.

He sneered, casually fiddling with a strand of his hair as he fixed his cold glare at her. "Yes, I agree. You were Killing one of you is better than letting you die together."

His voice sounded exactly like the voice she'd heard in her dreams.

Xyla was relieved to hear this. "In that case, kill me. You hate me the most, don't you? After all, I was the one who betrayed you."

He regarded her with a look of contemplation, his facial expression still appearing stony. "Yes, I hate you the most. That's why you are not the one who would die.

"You love Stanley so much. I bet you'd suffer more if I killed him and let you live instead. Isn't that much better than killing you directly?"

With that, the nine-tailed demon fox smiled slyly.

Hearing that, Stanley instantly pulled his wife behind him and leveled his cold eyes at the demon fox. "Yes, it's been decided then. You'll kill me and let her go.

"If only one of us can survive this, I hope that person is Xyla." After saying that, he turned around to gaze at his wife.

He seemed reluctant to leave her.

"Xyla," he said in a low voice. "My life feels complete now. Thank you for being a part of my life. You filled my life with unconditional love and warmth.

"My time spent living in this world was worth every second because of you. I may not be with you in this lifetime, but I hope we can still be together in the next one.

"I'll be waiting for you in the netherworld until the day you come for me Promise me that you with live on once I'm gone. Don't do anything stupid because our children need you to look after them.

"Also, you should forget about me and move on. Don't fall into despair just because I'm gone," he told her.

Chapter 2354

Chapter 2355 Chapter 2355 Xyla Quest was in anguish at that moment, feeling like her body and her soul had been completely torn apart.

It hurt so badly that she couldn't breathe.

She wished this was all in her imagination. She hoped it was just a vivid nightmare that would go away and return to normal once she woke up.

As soon as Stanley Batton finished speaking, he suddenly floated up into the air, and then his body began to burn.

The pain was excruciating, but he somehow kept a neutral expression on his face.

The sight of her husband's burning body was now etched in the depths of Xyla's heart.

She hated herself right then for not being able to fight against the nine-tailed demon fox.

They were only ordinary human beings, after all. Despite being more powerful, wealthy, and influential than many others in their real world, they remained powerless in this mystical realm. They were worthless in the face of magic.

She began to cry as she clenched her fists, charging toward the nine-tailed demon fox. He waved his hand at her gently, and then she was sent flying ten meters away by a strong gust of wind within seconds. After that, she directly fell into a sea of red spider lilies before her body erupted with intense pain.

Her skin was drenched in sweat, but she couldn't care less.

Xyla straightened up and ran up to the nine-tailed demon fox, sinking to her knees as she pleaded. "Please, I'm begging you. Let Stanley go."

Stanley's body continued to burn. He struggled to set himself free, but nothing worked.

She wished she could take his place instead.

Hearing her pathetic pleas, the demon fox chuckled indifferently.

Meanwhile, Stanley maintained his composure. "Xyla, get up. He would never let us go. Don't kneel to anyone. Remember, you should never bow down to anyone.

"Honey, promise me that you will live on and take care of our children after I leave: I'm counting on you to look after Lynette and Leon. If we can meet each other in the next lifetime, I would still choose you without hesitation.

"Xyla, I'm so glad that I met you in this We had a good life together," he told her shakily.

"Don't cry, please. Don't waste your tears.

Xyla, listen to me and get up."

Stanley still only had eyes for her despite being in great pain. He cared more about his wife than he did himself.

Seeing Xyla like that made his heart twinge in pain.

"No, Stanley. I can't let you die. Absolutely not!" she retorted indignantly.

After her outburst, she looked up at the med demon fox and implored him earnestly. "Please let Stantey go. I'll do whatever you want me to. I'm begging you, please.

"I'm sorry that we did you wrong in our past life. I apologize for that. Won't you forgive us, please?"

Chapter 2356 Chapter 2356 "Please," Xyla Quest pleaded. "If you won't forgive us, then kill me! I'm the one who should die, not him. Kill me, please."

She meant everything she said from the very core of her being.

However, the nine-tailed demon fox gave her a chilling stare and chuckled as he toyed with his hair.

He didn't take her words to heart.

"The one who needs to die shouldn't have it easy. You must stay alive and suffer the pain of Stanley's death.

"This is what you owe me, Xyla. You will pay me back in such a manner because I won't accept any other method. Everyone needs to pay for what they have done. Isn't that right?" he asked in a booming voice, sounding firm and irrefutable.

By then, Stanley Baton had already developed a numbness from being burned.

Strangely, his skin remained undamaged despite being torched for so long, but Xyla wasn't in the right frame of mind to think about it logically.

Instead, she continued to look pleadingly at the nine-tailed demon fox. "Don't you think this is all very unfair? The one who wronged you before was a previous version of me in another lifetime. I'm completely innocent in this one."

He smirked at that. "I don't care. All I know is that you have to pay for whatever you did before. I hope you will suffer from this pain forever, Xyla. Hahaha," he laughed mercilessly. There was a look of triumph in his eyes.

Seeing that her plea had fallen on deaf ears, she stood up and tried to attack him again, but this time, he was quick to dodge her effort playfully.

In a blink of an eye, he had dashed behind her and making her feel helpless as she fell forward.

She felt like all her efforts were in vain, and all her human abilities were utterly useless against him.

With the demon fox out of her sight, she whirled around, and then her eyes met with his charming gaze.

He lazily played with his hair while he peered at her. "How dare you try to hurt me? You must be dreaming. Give up the fight, Xyla. You're no match for me right now, and neither is Stanley.

"How could an ordinary human possibly beat a spirit like me? I may not be as powerful as before, but I'm still much stronger than you ordinary humans."

Then, he waved his hand toward Stanley again, further fueling the flames that had engulfed his body as they burned even hotter.

Stanley was already in a great deal of pain from the fire, but he didn't want his wife to see him suffere Therefore, he gritted his teeth to refrain from groaning in pain.

To endure the torture, he clenched his fists until they were trembling from the exertion.

"Xyla, stop resisting, he managed to gasp out through clenched teeth while struggling to free himself from unseen restraints. "We can't beat him. Don't hurt yourself."

However, his effort didn't help at all.

How could Xyla give up so easily seeing him like that?

She lunged at the nine-tailed demon fox again, but he managed to dodge in time.

She kept pursuing him in determination, although she could never quite catch up with him.

At that point, she was thoroughly panicking.

Chapter 2357 Chapter 2357 Xyla Quest truly felt like the most powerless person ever.

She couldn't do a single thing when the love of her life was suffering right before her very eyes.

As she chased the nine-tailed demon fox around, the latter began mocking her again— "Haha, give up, Xyla. You're still just as stubborn as you were in your past life. You won't beat me no matter how hard you try. You're just an ordinary person with no magical powers.

"Any random spirit in the netherworld would be stronger than you. Give up the fight. It's pointless. Hahaha," he taunted with a maniacal laugh.

She found it extremely annoying as everything he said infuriated her.

With all the rage amassing within her, she felt like her heart would soon explode.

She was about to go mad.

Then, all of a sudden, a pink light surrounded her body right before some mysterious force lifted her from the ground.

She ascended ten meters into the air, the sudden loss of gravity making her heart pound.

It was quite an unbelievable thing to happen, as she seemed to have lost control of her body immediately after that. She began waving her hands at Stanley Batton, whose body was burning beneath her. It suddenly began to rain heavily then, causing the flames that engulfed him to extinguish.

Stanley fell into a sea of red spider lilies after seemingly losing control of his body. He braced himself to straighten up through the pain and made his way to stand beside Xyla.

They exchanged looks of disbelief.

"What's going on? Why do I suddenly feel like I possess mysterious powers of some kind?" she asked in astonishment.

He shook his head. "I don't know. I feel like you do right now."

"Maybe God is helping us," she ventured a guess.

Before he could reply, she lost control of her body again and began attacking the nine-tailed demonfox from afar by extending her palms outward.

Whenever she would extend her palms, the same bright pink light from before would directly blaze toward the nine-tailed demon fox.

Its powerful force caused him to evade their beams.

Meanwhile, Stanley's body also seemed to develop a life of its own when he began to attack the demon fox by emitting a bright blue light from his palms.

The husband and wife team began. moving emitt The huster while the lights theret grew brighter as realized they had gotten ster.

M?

Soon, the demon fox fell to the ground after a blast from a pink light.

In that instant, her hatred toward him had lessened considerably.

She was at a loss at what had happened, but she felt victorious that she could finally exact some revenge.

Her father's death was orchestrated by the same nine-tailed demon fox as the one that nearly killed her husband just moments before.

Chapter 2358 Chapter 2358 Xyla Quest felt nothing but contempt toward the nine-tailed demon fox.

To be able to exact revenge on him with her mysterious powers gave her a certain sense of satisfaction. Immediately after that, her body started attacking him with the same rapid moves without her controlling it. Beside her, Stanley Batton did the same thing.

A combination of bright pink and blue rays blazed toward the nine-tailed demon fox in the next second.

The light rays grew brighter, lighting up the entire spirit realm.

The demon fox tried his best to evade their attacks.

The light rays directly charged toward the sea of red spider lilies, causing them to wither as countless red petals blasted into the air to rain down around them.

The scene provided a beautiful backdrop to what would be a bloody scene in stark contrast.

Although the nine-tailed demon fox fought back relentlessly, he felt his magic powers waning as if they were restrained by something.

He was helpless to do anything apart from continuing to evade the colorful light rays.

He soon ran out of stamina and was struck by the duo again within a short amount of time.

This time, their powers were even stronger than before.

He sank to the ground as soon as he was hit, spitting out blood from his mouth repeatedly.

He attempted to get up again, but he could only lay there like a sitting duck while waiting for Xyla and Stanley to finish him off.

He was stunned at this turn of events when he had a clear upper hand before. He had to figure out what happened.

How did two ordinary human beings suddenly acquire special abilities?

These were such strong powers that he had never heard nor seen them use the magic they had.

He had to get to the bottom of this.

The demon fox gasped for air while he used one hand to press against the injuries on his chest, his narrowed eyes trained on Xyla and Stanley.

"What is happening? Can anyone tell me how two ordinary humans like you suddenly acquired superpowers like this? Are you two not humans even? Did you train such abilities in secret or something?"

He couldn't believe this.

He had kept a close eye on them, but he had never noticed any of them with superhuman abilities.

What on earth was going on?

Meanwhile, the couple was still afloat, and they also had their own questions.

Seeing the once-powerful demon fox in this state, they wanted to get back on the ground, but they didn't know how to do it when they were not in control of their movementsg They were conflicted at this juncture.

Content ། On the one hand, Xyla and Stanley were pleased that they could defeat the nine-tailed demon fox together, rendering him powerless and unable to harm them. én.swnovels.net On the other hand, they were also curious to know why and how they suddenly possessed such superpowers.

But first and foremost, they needed to know how they could get back on the ground.

Chapter 2359 Chapter 2359 It wasn't long before Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton moved against their will to fly in circles in the air.

Their backs were against each other while attacking the injured nine-tailed demon fox.

It looked exactly like a scene from one of the fantasy television dramas they had seen before.

Despite the strange sight, Xyla still felt some satisfaction that they could physically hurt the demon fox for a change.

Indeed, she owed a debt for what she had done to him in her past life, but she did nothing wrong in this lifetime. She was innocent this time, so she didn't owe him anything.

He had her stepmother and sister brainwashed to torture her, and she even nearly died on several occasions.

Then, he instructed Betty Starmount to poison her father and kill him.

He even abducted her newborn babies and nearly killed them, too.

Xyla could no longer tolerate his existence.

She couldn't accept that her sins in a past life could justify all the harm he inflicted upon her in this lifetime.

Besides, she had already repaid enough of her karmic debt and gone through enough suffering.

Now that her memory was intact, she felt nothing but hatred toward the nine-tailed demon fox because he was their greatest nightmare for the longest time.

His unseen presence was like a massive ticking time bomb waiting to explode, only it was apparent they could get rid of the threat very soon.

Xyla felt a great sense of justice.

Looking down at the ground, it seemed like the demon fox had his hands and feet bound.

He looked like a punching bag to Xyla and Stanley.

Soon, he began to disintegrate, his body slowly turning translucent.

He repeatedly coughed as he sneered at them. "Hehe, Xyla... you win."

Then, the nine-tailed demon fox shattered into pieces like broken glass. Finally, his body transformed into black rays of light and dispersed.

Xyla and Stanley were both shocked by this scene.

They never things would end when they wernet 9ht this was how the who should have Oh, how the tables had turned in their favor.

That strange special powers that appeared out of nowhere had changed the outcome.

They really couldn't figure out where these abilities had originated from.

Even with many questions on their minds, they were relieved to win the bloody battle.

After all this time, the biggest threat to their family was now vanquished for good.

From this moment on, the nine-tailed demon fox would cease to exist.

They no longer had to live in fear.

With that thought in mind, Xyla and Stanley gazed at each other, their e $ met. Content be when at each other, the net slightly red She Honey, we finally got rid of the 2 teared up. "We did it.

"We finally avenged my father," she went on.

"Yes."

Chapter 2360 Chapter 2360 Xyla Quest closed her eyes and silently thought to herself, "Dad, we have avenged your death. From this moment on, my family can live in peace. I hope you will also rest easy and peacefully."

She felt excited then.

At first, she expected the nine-tailed demon fox would cause a lot of trouble in her life. She thought they might eventually lose everyone in their family because of him.

To their surprise, none of that happened because of Sophie Kenwick and their superpowers that appeared suddenly.

As if on cue, a golden ray of light flashed before them before all the red spider lilies scattered, causing countless flaming red petals to dance in the sky.

It was a captivating sight to behold.

While the petals danced in the air, golden rays of light glistened endlessly.

The spirit realm seemed to glow spectacularly.

Xyla and Stanley Batton were stunned by the scene before them, observing with interest as the red petals formed a long stairway to the top of the sky. It disappeared among the clouds.

Then, the couple floated to the lowest step of the stairway by an invisible force to land safely.

Every step of the stairway felt like solid ground even though they were stepping on petals.

Those petals might seem fragile, but in reality, they were indestructible.

The two of them exchanged glances before reaching out to intertwine their hands.

Instantly, they were pushed up the stairs by the same invisible force.

As they climbed further and further away from the ground, the world beneath them became clear.

They saw that it had turned into a dark, turbulent river once the sea of red spider lilies disappeared.

They couldn't see the end of the river.

Somehow, that gave them an eerie feeling to it.

Pushed by the mysterious force, they stairwued to walk up the until they were approximately a hundred meters above the ground.

Xyla began to feel wobbly in her knees as she was afraid of heights.

Her palms turned clammy with sweat.

Stanley tightened his grip on her hand when he belatedly realized how she felt.

"Don't be afraid. I'm here, okay?" he said.

Xyla nodded. "Honey, where do you think it's taking us to?"

She felt curious about all this.

Was it taking them to heaven?

He shook his head slowly. "I don't know, but I guess we'll find out once we get there. I believe this strange force won't hurt us. After all, it helped us earlier."

He seemed very certain about that.

She nodded wordlessly, choosing to believe him. She was still curious about where they were being led to.

Approximately half an hour later, they arrived among the clouds.

Xyla could no longer see the ground as she looked down.

There was nothing but white clouds around them.

The sky a shade of blue that seemed more intense than out. real world, reminding them lake.

Her hand squeezed his tightly subconsciously.
