Chapter 565: You are? (3k)
“Roar!”
As a faint sound echoed, the tornado seemed to understand, letting out a low growl. A halo of law appeared before it, and then the tornado shook its body and passed through the halo, roaring towards Su Jiu, who was positioned higher above.
As it completely passed through, its momentum became even fiercer, even growing by a size, its power already reaching the strength of a casual Beginner War God’s attack.
“I can only take it head-on.”
Looking at the Frost Dragon roaring towards him, Su Jiu’s eyes narrowed. He quickly transformed into human form, a scythe in his right hand. With both hands clasped, blood-golden light-attribute External Qi quickly appeared on the scythe’s blade, and then he suddenly slashed forward towards the dragon head.
“Sizzle sizzle sizzle!”
The scythe cut precisely from the “dragon head” towards the dragon’s body, but the powerful impact made Su Jiu’s arm tingle slightly. However, the corrosive and destructive power brought by [Sacred Filth] caused the tornado to crumble directly from its head.
“Whoosh!”
The moment the Frost Dragon crumbled, a blood-golden slash shot out from the crumbling point with lightning speed towards the center of the blizzard. As it sank, faint metallic collision sounds could be heard, but it didn’t have much impact on the overall situation.
“I have to strike first. If there are more such dragons, my Blood Clan true body’s stamina will drop very quickly, and I won’t be able to last long.”
Gazing intently at the scene before him, Su Jiu gripped the scythe tightly, unleashing continuous drawing sword slashes forward with his left and right hands, forming an “X” shape, giving a strong sense of Cross Slash.
Using [Sword Language] on someone with higher Mental Power than oneself does carry a certain backlash, so Su Jiu did not use it consecutively.
Each subsequent sword energy barely met the standard of Quasi-War God Level, causing the audience present to feel their hair stand on end. The Female Chief, who was in the VIP area, looked terrified.
This Blood Clan member is possibly a bit too fierce!
It can only be said that it’s fortunate they lost quickly.
“Bang bang bang!!”
The moment the sword energy made contact with the tornado, dull thuds sounded, as if striking an Energy Shield. The two, in a rather tacit understanding of attack and defense, maintained this for nearly half a minute.
Feeling his own condition drop to 60%, Su Jiu felt a slight impatience, but she knew it wasn’t time for a true attack. Everything so far was merely a feint.
“Heh heh, trying to wear me down with this kind of sword energy, you’re adorably foolish.”
Finally, the dull sounds disappeared, replaced by a light laugh. The Cloaked Figure stomped on the ground, leaping high into the air and appearing opposite Su Jiu. Ice crystals began to condense behind Him.
At this moment, an Ice Crystal Longbow appeared in His hand from somewhere. His hand, like a woman’s, lightly touched the strings, and then He flicked His finger.
Immediately, continuous “whoosh” sounds could be heard as countless prism-shaped ice fragments shot out continuously from behind the Cloaked Figure, covering the sky and sweeping towards Su Jiu.
Looking at the ice crystal barrage that covered the sky, a hint of solemnity crossed Su Jiu’s eyes, and she had to stop her slashing.
With no support in the air, if she were hit by these ice crystals that could turn, it was very likely she would crash and fall on the spot.
Thinking this, she immediately descended towards the ground. The moment her feet touched the arena, the offense and defense reversed again, and she began to spin continuously, establishing a “bloody wall.”
“Ding ding ding!!!”
The ice crystals that covered the sky poured down like a rain curtain, and all of them struck the scythe’s shadow. The clear sounds almost merged into one. Occasionally, some ice shards could be seen flying out between the scythes like bullets.
Countless people stared dumbfounded at the magnificent scene on the arena. The powerful force carried by the ice crystals, while not causing much damage to Su Jiu, caused her to retreat a step with each ice crystal barrage, and even brought her within half a meter of the chains.
“Ding ding!!”
Two more ice crystals struck. Su Jiu’s steps retreated half a step, her skirt almost touching the chains.
Although her appearance seemed somewhat dismal, she had not actually sustained much damage, and her power consumption was far less than her own slashes. To date, Su Jiu still had 50% of her stamina bar.
Of course, this was only if she maintained the Blood Clan Avatar state.
Although they had forced Su Jiu to retreat to the edge of the arena, the Cloaked Figure did not stop. He clearly knew that the previous attacks, while appearing like a storm, had not caused any damage to Su Jiu. The impenetrable “invincible spinning wheel” had blocked all the damage, and it was no different from King of Fighters.
Blocking to bait energy and skills was common.
The Cloaked Figure was certainly not foolish. He was also aware of Su Jiu’s condition, and his own stamina had been depleted by about 20-30%. Rather than passively consuming it, it was better to seize the advantage of aerial control now and deliver a strike that could eliminate the opponent.
“Thump!”
In the storm in the mid-air, a string sound slowly came, and then the countless ice crystals that permeated the sky suddenly gathered at the mouth of the bow after the Cloaked Figure pulled the string.
In just an instant, under the gaze of countless people, it transformed into an arrow that looked like a crystal product. If anyone with sharp eyes were to notice, they would surely see that the arrowhead of this arrow was the same thing the Cloaked Figure was holding between two fingers earlier.
“Is this the skill used to hit that Snow Tiger before?”
Feeling the aura emanating from it, rings of gasps echoed from around the plaza, clearly not unfamiliar with this arrow-making action.
At the judges’ table, the Elder of the Second Clan smiled upon seeing the situation, turned to the two from the Restoration faction beside him, and said meaningfully, “To determine the winner, the two of you will likely have regrets…”
The two pointed to by the Elder of the Second Clan had rather unpleasant expressions. Just as silence fell around, Elder Evelyn of the Nine Clans frowned and retorted, “It might not be that simple, her ultimate skill hasn’t been used yet…”
“That skill?”
Upon hearing this, not only did the Elder of the Second Clan and the others freeze, but even Frostsky, who had been silent, turned his head to look at Evelyn with surprise.
She hadn’t spoken because she also felt that Su Jiu’s chances of winning weren’t very high, and she didn’t want to put herself in a position to be mocked by the old man next to her.
“Let’s see…”
Feeling everyone’s gaze, Evelyn realized she had said something she shouldn’t have. She then smiled faintly, her eyes turning to the stage, and she said no more.
After the Cloaked Figure nocked the arrow, His aura climbed to an extremely terrifying level. Under the watch of countless eyes, He continually drew the ice crystal string longer, and cold wind vortexes continuously gathered and condensed at the tip of the arrow…
Watching the bowstring being gradually drawn to its fullest, regretful voices arose from the audience below. If this arrow could also track, the match would likely be decided by this single shot, right?
“Finally waiting for it.”
Just as the people offstage thought Su Jiu would panic and hide, she slightly raised her head. Beneath the silver hair, a smile appeared. The white light that had been condensed earlier erupted on the edge of the scythe’s blade. Her figure suddenly vanished from its spot with a “boom.”
“Harvest Moon Dream!”
The speed was even faster than before. The next moment, as white light flickered, several Clan Elders suddenly stood up, especially the Elder of the Second Clan. His gaze passed through the white light, and a ripple finally appeared in his clouded eyes. He muttered to himself, “This is teleportation. How could she learn such a skill…”
Frostsky gripped the armrests of his chair, his eyes narrowing, and also exclaimed, “I have to say, is this the descendant of Night? Truly terrifyingly strong…”
“Descendant of Night?”
Hearing the latter’s words, the Elder of the Second Clan turned to look, his expression no longer one of casual ease. He asked with considerable seriousness, “Walker Frostsky, you mean this little girl from the Blood Clan is their descendant? Could it be that your prediction…”
“Heaven’s secrets cannot be revealed.”
Frostsky glanced at him, his gaze returning to the sky above, with a hint of a smile. No one knew if she had deliberately said it.
…
As it turned out, in the mid-air, Su Jiu’s figure appeared like a ghost directly above the Cloaked Figure’s head, half a foot away. The scythe slashed towards the latter, whose expression had slightly changed, at an extremely rapid speed.
But how could the Cloaked Figure allow Su Jiu to easily decapitate him? He immediately drew his arrow and held his bow horizontally, preparing to block with the longbow in his hand!
The next moment, “Ding!” The sound of ice and iron colliding suddenly rang out as the two clashed. A ripple of energy hit the Energy Shield beside them, producing a humming sound.
And the Cloaked Figure’s hood also completely flipped open due to the impact, revealing His coiled and tied twin ponytails of Green Silk. He retreated a couple of steps, and the ponytails swayed in the mid-air, quite eye-catching.
Su Jiu’s figure was pushed back by the immense force, tumbling several meters. In a head-on collision, she was no match for someone of the Cloaked Figure’s level.
However, her goal was never a head-on collision, but…
“You’re trying your best to attack me the moment I nocked the arrow, but your speed is still not fast enough…”
The Cloaked Figure looked at Su Jiu’s recoiling figure and couldn’t help but laugh aloud. Since it was discovered that she was a woman, she simply stopped pretending and returned to using her female voice. However, her words stopped halfway…
“When?”
As if realizing something, He touched His face. A “crack!” sound occurred, and then the mask on His face suddenly split into two pieces, one large and one small, seemingly blocking an attack for Him. Blood beads began to ooze from His neck.
Su Jiu looked at the blood beads on His neck and suddenly smiled. Without the slightest hesitation, red light surged from her left fingertip.
The BOSS cycle is about to begin.
Removing the small piece of the mask, just as the Cloaked Figure was about to raise a hand to counter Su Jiu, He felt His blood seeming to reverse and clog His circulation…
While He was dazed, Su Jiu’s figure flickered again to appear behind Him. The giant scythe in her hand slashed down without any hesitation, stirring up specks of blood-golden corrosive aura.
“You’re playing dirty?”
The Cloaked Figure endured the discomfort, a fierce glint in His eyes. He then turned to block, but after blocking, His expression changed again. The other corner of the mask also shattered, revealing fair skin…
The collarbone beneath the cloak also began to bleed. His Mental Power continuously tried to lock onto Su Jiu, but achieved no results at all. The face beneath the remaining half of the mask also became completely unsightly.
The situation was starting to become truly tricky.
Just as He was exploring Su Jiu with His Mental Power, another slash arrived. The bow and scythe collided again. This time, the slash completely cut off His mask, revealing a gloomy little face.
This little face also made Su Jiu pause slightly. She raised an eyebrow, slowed her attack speed a little, and slanted the blade that was heading towards the face to the waist area, then asked with some uncertainty:
“You are…”
