Chapter 1528 - 1525: Remnants of the Magical Beast

From the corner of his eye, Ye Qiu could see Kleek and his companions dragging the fallen army players to the edge of the room. However, due to the battle between Ye Qiu and the Demon in the center, the movement was progressing quite slowly.

"Ugh!"

The enemy's attack finally landed accurately on Ye Qiu's body. The impact was paralyzing, causing a gush of fresh blood to spurt out.

The gear Ye Qiu was wearing wasn't suitable for defense. Continuing like this would only lead to a dead end. The fear of death, coupled with a freezing sensation, coursed through Ye Qiu's body.

There was no chance to escape now.

The only remaining option was to switch to an enhanced attack mode and use all his strength to deal with the enemy.

"Wushang! Kleek! Hurry and pull them away!"

Ye Qiu shouted this, swinging his sword forcefully with his right hand to fend off the Demon's attack, barely creating a gap before rolling away.

Kleek immediately rushed in to rescue.

Because Kleek's large blade and Fang Wushang's fine sword were speed-focused weapons, they lacked weight. Ye Qiu thought they wouldn't be able to withstand the Demon's giant sword.

Most importantly, although Ye Qiu could execute a one-hit kill, large area moves would involve others.

As Ye Qiu rolled onto the ground, he swung his left hand down, ready to fight seriously!

From now on, no mistakes in operation are allowed. Ye Qiu suppressed his intense heartbeat, and his right hand fingers began to move, "Dong, let's begin!"

Once Fang Wushang and Kleek were at a distance from him, Ye Qiu raised his head and shouted:

"Ice Barrier!"

This move was not only to protect others with the barrier, but also to ensure no one saw him using the Profound Celestial Ice Sword.

"Icefield Permafrost!"

The ground beneath the Magical Beast turned white as snow, instantly freezing its feet.

Icefield Permafrost is a move used to restrict the enemy first, typically employed for precise enemy kills.

"Ice Slash!"

Upon hearing my voice, Dong seemed to nod slightly at Ye Qiu, then unleashed the Thrusting Skill with a piercing scream.

"Yaah!!"

A pure white afterglow strike clashed with the sword the Magical Beast brandished in the air, sparking fiercely.

However, the Magical Beast's sword was of a completely different dimension from the Profound Celestial Ice Sword, so naturally, the Magical Beast's sword snapped in two!

Taking advantage of this moment, Ye Qiu charged head-on towards the enemy. Having just recovered from its stiff state, the Magical Beast raised its short sword high.

Ye Qiu's beloved sword, held in his right hand, reflected the flames of the opponent's sword back, and his left hand swiftly reached behind to grip a new sword's hilt. The first strike after unsheathing the sword immediately hit the Demon's body. This initial full-blown attack inflicted significant damage on the Magical Beast.

"Ooooooh!!"

The Magical Beast let out an angry roar, and the Demon once again unleashed a downward slash from above. This time, Ye Qiu's sword held the Magical Beast's attack steadily and pushed the sword back. Until now, Ye Qiu had been on the defensive, but now he decided to wipe out the enemy with a series of attacks when it lost balance.

The Profound Celestial Ice Sword sliced into the midsection and was pulled out immediately, followed by stabbing into the Demon's body. Right, left, then right again. His brain's thought circuit controlled Ye Qiu to keep swinging the sword at a speed close to ignition. The sharp sound effects rang continuously, and the white light, like meteors, illuminated the entire space.

All sixteen consecutive Ice Combo attacks by Ye Qiu hit the Magical Beast.

"Ooooooh ahhhhhh!"

Ye Qiu ignored whether the Magical Beast's sword would come at him again and just roared, repeatedly slashing his sword at the Magical Beast.

Ye Qiu's eyes were burning, only seeing the enemy's figure. Although the Magical Beast's sword sometimes came to attack Ye Qiu, the impact felt as if it came from another distant world. Adrenaline surged throughout his body, and each time the sword hit the enemy, his brain nerves felt electrocuted.

Faster, faster. Now Ye Qiu swung both swords at twice the normal speed, although not as fast as Fang Wushang's speed, his already tense nerves felt insufficiently quick. Ye Qiu's speed had broken through his limit.

"...Ahhhhhhh!!"

The sixteenth strike, unleashed simultaneously with Ye Qiu's roar, pierced through the center of the demon-eyed chest.

"Uaaaaaaahhhhhh!"

Coming to his senses, he realized it was not just Ye Qiu roaring. The giant Demon looking up at the sky spewed a large amount of blue blood from its mouth and nose while howling. Its voice was much louder than Ye Qiu's.

After Ye Qiu calmed down and saw the moment the enemy's entire body stiffened—

The Magical Beast's body was already scarred with countless sword marks, with blood spraying from each, completely soaking Ye Qiu in blue blood.

Is it… over…?

Ye Qiu felt dizzy because of the battle's afterheat, but still unconsciously flicked the Profound Celestial Ice Sword and quickly assessed his condition. His clothes were all dyed blue by the Magical Beast's blood, but there was also red slowly seeping through the blue...

Ye Qiu instantly lost consciousness.

"??? What's wrong? Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu, wake up!"

Fang Wushang's desperate shout forcibly pulled Ye Qiu's consciousness back. The pain piercing through his head made Ye Qiu involuntarily grimace and raise his upper body.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

When Ye Qiu tore open his clothes, he found the blood on his wound had already clotted. He lightly touched it, a cool sensation spread to his fingertips; it appeared Dong saved him.

Ye Qiu confusedly surveyed the surroundings; the Magical Beast's corpse still bled. Thus, his time in unconsciousness was only a few seconds.

Fang Wushang squatted on the ground, her face close to Ye Qiu's eyes. He could see her deeply furrowed brows and tightly bitten lips, seemingly about to cry.

"You idiot…! Acting so recklessly…!"

While she shouted this, she quickly hugged Ye Qiu's neck. Ye Qiu, shocked by the sudden situation, forgot his headache and just kept blinking.

"...Um... If you hug me so tightly, my wound might split open."

He said this jokingly, but Fang Wushang's face showed genuine anger.

After that, Fang Wushang began applying Healing Technique to Ye Qiu, a green wind appeared in the air. That wind blew into Ye Qiu's mouth, and the liquid flowing in it tasted like a mix of green tea and lemon juice—it was an advanced Healing Technique.
