Chapter 391 Blood Battle (Part 2)
“Pfft!”
The sound of blood splashing suddenly rang out. Kyoungde’s body was briefly stunned, and then blood spurted from his chest like an unstoppable water pump, dyeing his entire white shirt red.
The external qi circulating within his body froze. It was even a bizarre occurrence where blood blocked the airflow!
Did she do it?
A hint of horror flashed in his eyes. He suddenly looked up at the expression not far away and found himself meeting a crazed little face. In the blood-colored pupils, brilliant white flowers suddenly bloomed, which was extremely frightening!
“Putting on a show!”
Kyoungde’s face twitched. He gritted his teeth and charged forward again. The long spear in his hand turned into a cold gleam, and a blue halo appeared at the tip of the spear. Spear shadows flickered dazzlingly, and sharp spear Qi almost densely covered Su Jiu’s front. The sound of the wind being torn apart echoed continuously in front of the hospital building.
“You seem to have slowed down?”
Facing Kyoungde’s seemingly ferocious attack, but with reduced speed and power, Su Jiu’s lips revealed a sinister smile.
Her left hand formed a sword shape and pulled up a scarlet long line of light. The scythe once again turned into a bracelet attached to her wrist. The fingernails on her right hand grew rapidly, turning into nail clippers, and “clang clang clang!” She deflected the dense spear tips.
In an instant, she slashed towards Kyoungde’s face, shoulders, eyes, and other parts at an extremely fast speed. At a certain moment, she even drew out specks of blood.
Su Jiu did not have specialized scythe skills. She was naturally a nimble assassin. While the giant scythe was powerful, it also greatly restricted her. She could not avoid the power collision of frontal combat, and her attack speed would be much slower.
Facing an enemy who was top-notch in both power and defense, Su Jiu knew that she had to play to her strengths and avoid her weaknesses to take control of the battle.
Now that the opponent’s attack power and speed had both declined to a certain extent, it was time to wear him down with speed and unusual attack methods.
The huge air currents from their clash uprooted the surrounding grass. Even the air rippled violently, appearing exceptionally terrifying.
The two sides suddenly fought back and forth, and afterimages continuously appeared on the ground. The Yela officers guarding nearby were all shocked and exclaimed, none of them having expected that Su Jiu, who was just being crushed, was now evenly matched with Kyoungde.
Those military officers at the Initial Stage Battle King Level wanted to intervene, but they found that entering this level of combat was simply sending themselves to their deaths, with no power to resist. They could only silently watch the two figures flickering and colliding on the ground.
“Frost Blade Frenzy Slash!”
With his attacks repeatedly blocked and his condition deteriorating, a hint of fear finally appeared in Kyoungde’s eyes. He quietly put away his underestimation and then thrust his spear forward with a roar. A violent blizzard suddenly sounded, and the Frost Domain officially emerged.
The dense spear shadows suddenly solidified at this moment and then rapidly retracted. In a short instant, a giant spear tip eerily appeared in the sky, mixed with oppressive force, and ruthlessly crushed towards Su Jiu’s body. Judging by the momentum, if she were hit, she would probably be instantly crushed into powder.
“Cloud Piercer!”
Taking a light breath, Su Jiu took a step back. A cold glint suddenly surged in her blood-colored pupils. She rapidly formed seals with her hand, and a giant finger suddenly appeared above her head.
Before, she had used finger techniques but had delayed using the final move of [Cloud Piercer] because it had a certain wind-up time. However, her opponent had now given her some space to perform it.
Sensing the momentum of the two about to collide, countless people inside the hospital instantly changed their expressions, and exclamations erupted one after another.
“Is this the clash of High-Rank Battle Kings?!”
“The Night Watcher elders are indeed incomparably powerful!”
…
“I want to see if you can withstand dozens of layers of Cloud Piercer after taking so many wounds!”
Reflecting the giant spear light in her eyes, Su Jiu’s pupils flashed with brilliance. Her gaze fell on Kyoungde, who was covered in wounds and no longer had his refined demeanor. The hand on her left emitted an even more intense scarlet light, while the index finger of her right hand slowly pressed forward.
As she used this skill, Kyoungde’s body suddenly trembled, and then he let out a muffled groan. The giant spear phantom also flickered slightly…
Under the astonished gazes of many, the giant white finger collided with the frost spear phantom. A low, resonant impact sound suddenly rang out, instantly emitting a dazzling explosive light. Air ripples surged out from the point of contact.
The immense impact caused the surrounding ground to crackle like a spider web. Even the bricks and tiles of distant buildings were blasted with cracks, and the vegetation was directly blasted into wood debris.
As the cracks spread, a figure was violently sent flying backward, their feet dragging a conspicuous trail of more than ten meters on the ground. Everyone’s eyes immediately widened in disbelief—Kyoungde was blackened all over, barely supporting himself with his long spear.
After their gazes lingered on Kyoungde’s body for a moment, countless eyes immediately turned back, and then fixed on the petite figure with black feathers dotted on her long dress, who stood in the dissipating smoke and dust.
For a moment, joy and sorrow were sharply divided. The Yela soldiers looked at Su Jiu as if she were a great demon king, wanting to retreat but finding that their feet would not obey. However, the people in the hospital erupted in thunderous cheers.
This was the true value of the Night Watchers!
“Chief Commander Kyoungde, have you ever considered a day like this would come when you condoned your subordinates committing various war crimes?”
Su Jiu looked at the “charcoal” still bleeding in front of her with an inscrutable smile. She walked forward, stepping on the cracked floor, her black leather shoes making “clack clack” sounds. At this moment, the sharp blade in Su Jiu’s hand emitted a crystalline glow, looking quite terrifying.
Kyoungde, who could only barely stop his injuries, knelt on one knee, leaning on his spear. His white shirt was also scorched into charcoal. At this moment, he only had the strength to speak. He looked at the blood still spurting from his body in fear.
Then, he faced Su Jiu, his mouth slowly opening and closing, pleading, “We will not enter the hospital again. Please… spare me…”
“If I spare you, then who will spare the deceased Mr. Lin Yusheng and the others?”
Before she could finish speaking, Su Jiu had already arrived beside him. A blue light surged in her hand again, and the giant scythe reappeared in her hand. She raised it high again, a rather gentle smile appearing on her face as she said, “The sun that illuminates the land of Aers is about to rise, so… please remain in the darkness.”
The military officers at the Battle King Level finally reacted. Four of them surrounded Su Jiu, and someone loudly rebuked, “Is your Dragon Country going to break its oath? Chief Commander Kyoungde is a Lieutenant General of Yela. If you kill him, our country’s War God Level will put you on the kill list.”
“One more or one less doesn’t make a difference to us.”
Under the gaze of countless eyes, Su Jiu tilted her head and looked at the person, smiling. The giant scythe was like the dawn harvesting the night, splashing specks of starlight-like blood. The smell of blood permeated the entire front of the hospital building, lingering for a long time.
At this moment, the first rays of sunlight descended from the sky, landing on the hospital rooftop, coincidentally falling on the sunflowers that had been put away in the corridor.
“She should have no excess energy to fight after battling the commander. Let’s attack together.”
The four Initial Stage Battle Kings exchanged glances and then looked at the figure with silver-white hair stained with blood in front of them. Looking at the green light emanating from her fingertips, they felt an inexplicable fear.
After hesitating for a long time, the four figures directly unleashed fierce energy and shot towards Su Jiu from four directions.
“You can all follow him down and witness the dawn rise in the darkness.”
Shaking her head slightly, Su Jiu chuckled softly. Her feet actually lifted off the ground by half an inch. The giant scythe in her hand emitted bursts of light, and then with four consecutive slashes, the four slashes transformed into crescent shapes.
They each carried golden-red energy tails and shot out like lightning, finally landing heavily on the four figures. Instantly, all four figures stopped, and then, under the stunned gaze of many, their bodies were either cut in half at the waist or directly split into two. Blood dyed the silver hair half red and half white…
The gap between High-Rank Battle Kings and Initial Stage Battle Kings was indescribably large. Su Jiu, with her buffs fully stacked, could easily kill these ordinary Initial Stage Battle Kings without using any skills.
When the ordinary soldiers saw the military officers at the Battle King Level being killed, they had no other thoughts. They either stood there dumbfounded or turned and ran away.
Looking back at the relieved crowd behind her, Director Robert, who had witnessed the entire event, also put away the formation. He looked at the petite figure and couldn’t help but smack his lips, sighing, “With this kind of strength, she could establish a major force, but she is still a student participating in the World Competition. The younger generation is truly formidable.”
Catherine and the others behind him were completely stunned at this. After exchanging glances, they could see the shock in each other’s eyes—a fierce fighter who had killed five Battle Kings, is she really a student?
How would the other students competing with her on the same stage fare? Is it really like me fighting them?
Just as everyone began to clean up the mess at the scene, a figure wrapped in lightning streaked across the sky. Su Jiu narrowed her eyes and saw an old man wearing a hat that resembled a wizard’s hat. He wore clothes that were somewhat like the black and blue striped clothes of a doctor’s coat from Su Jiu’s past life, giving off a medieval mage vibe.
He glanced at the Yela army, which was obediently retreating in line, then at the various body parts on the ground. Finally, his gaze fell on Robert, and he turned into a stream of light and appeared before Robert, frowning and asking, “Old friend, where is the life-and-death crisis and the so-called Battle Kings you mentioned? I am a judge for the World Competition, and the official competition starts tomorrow…”
He had come by risking the prohibition of the Eagle Country against strong individuals intervening in wars. After all, their friendship had lasted for nearly five or six years, and he also had a relatively righteous personality.
Seeing the familiar figure before him, Robert breathed a sigh of relief and then pointed at the fragments, smiling and saying, “Green, see? Those fragments are the Yela military officers at the Battle King Level. As for Kyoungde, see that charcoal? That’s…”
Upon hearing this, Green was stunned. As his gaze swept over, he met Su Jiu’s eyes in the center of the body fragments. A strange sense of familiarity surged in his heart.
He had seen this girl before—where did it seem to be?
