Chapter 432 - 309: Four-Way Melee (10)

The green light still flashed in her pupils, but her Body had already come under attack.

SCRAPE!

A scratch appeared on the Jade Armor of her left arm. She thrust her Spear, but hit nothing.

SCRAPE!

Another scratch marred the Jade Armor at her right waist. She thrust again, missing once more. She couldn’t hit him at all! Zhao Chi gritted his teeth and stabbed wildly. Every thrust of the Spear struck empty air, yielding only the helpless sound of the tearing wind.

Iwagaki’s speed was far too great! Zhao Chi had known he was fast, but he hadn’t expected him to be *this* fast. When that green light first appeared, his speed had already increased once. Now, with the green light shining even more dazzlingly, his speed had grown truly astonishing.

This green Spiritual Technique was likely of the Wind Element, capable of pushing Movement Speed to its absolute limit. Moreover, Iwagaki’s Enhancement Points must have heavily favored Movement Speed. Although Tang Ruan currently possessed 10 points in agility, her Enhancement focused on Defense. Naturally, she couldn’t compare to Iwagaki, whose Specialization was Movement Speed.

THUD!

Iwagaki ceased his Attacks, landing far off to the side. His brows furrowed tightly as he constantly sized up Tang Ruan, his eyes filled with amazement. Although Iwagaki’s Specialization was Movement Speed, he was extremely confident in his Attack Power. To think that his Attacks landing on Tang Ruan’s Body would only leave mere scratches...

He couldn’t help but sneer. "Not bad. You’re pretty good, woman. You have the qualifications to be my opponent!"

"Qualifications my ass! Quit showing off!" With no Time to waste, Zhao Chi thrust his Spear again, only to hit empty air as Iwagaki materialized in midair.

"What’s the rush?" Iwagaki taunted. "The True battle has only just begun."

Red rain began to fall. Zhao Chi initially thought Gu Qing had arrived as backup, and that this was the red blood she scattered. But the scent of this blood was incredibly pungent—it didn’t belong to Gu Qing. Was it Iwagaki’s? Where did he get so much blood?

The sky darkened further. The dim sun was almost invisible, leaving only a shallow rim of light hanging above, like a pale crescent moon at the start of the month. Then, the crescent swelled into a full moon, and the dim sun began to emit a crimson glow.

AHOOOO—

Iwagaki unleashed a deafening wolf howl from midair. Tang Ruan’s heart pounded violently. The red moon loomed larger, casting the entire world in a crimson hue.

Alarm bells blared in Zhao Chi’s mind. Iwagaki was an Alien Race Lord; it was impossible for him to possess only one Wind Element Skill. This red moon had to be Iwagaki’s Killing Skill. He couldn’t let him execute this Skill successfully!

"Howl my ass! Get down here!" Zhao Chi stabbed madly with the Spear. A few thrusts nearly connected, but Iwagaki still managed to dodge them.

The green light around Iwagaki’s Body shifted to crimson. His brownish-black wolf fur turned blood-red. His Body grew even more massive, muscles bulging as his fangs and Wolf Claws elongated, becoming impossibly sharp.

BAM!

Iwagaki landed nearby, an expression of supreme confidence on his face. "You have no idea how deep the waters of the Holy Race go. Ignorant Human, weak commoner, I—"

"Cut the fucking crap! Take this!"

Tang Ruan dashed forward. Iwagaki had only made it halfway through his speech; he hadn’t expected Tang Ruan to Attack so directly, forcing him to swallow the rest of his words. That was his grand victory speech, and she wouldn’t even let him finish it?

Iwagaki felt stifled, but that frustration quickly ignited into pure rage. "You fucking bitch... Die!"

He vanished. Tang Ruan’s thrust of the Spear struck air.

CRACK!

Tang Ruan’s right shoulder jerked violently as a fracture appeared on her Jade Armor.

CRACK!

A heavy blow struck her left leg, fracturing the Jade Armor there as well.

Iwagaki’s Attacks had grown even stronger! Yet his speed actually remained just as blinding. Zhao Chi had assumed the green light represented speed and the red light represented Power. It turned out he was wrong.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK...

More and more fractures webbed across Tang Ruan’s Jade Armor. A few locks of her beautiful hair were severed and fell to the ground.

Frowning, Zhao Chi gathered his Spiritual Power. The sky flashed, and Thunder crashed down.

CRACKLE!

Mud and grass flew into the air. A shallow crater appeared on the ground, emitting white steam.

It missed!

Iwagaki sneered. "Thunder? You dare use a Spiritual Technique with such terrible accuracy on me? Truly fucking childish! Take this!"

CRACK!

The Skin Armor on her right waist split open.

The sky flashed. The Thunder missed again.

"I already told you it’s useless! You stupid woman, you’re as stubborn as you are dumb! You are so fucking stupid! Stupid! STUPID!"

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK...

Her ankles, elbows, the back of her head, her front abdomen... Tang Ruan’s pristine white Jade Armor was completely covered in fractures. Had its Durability not been so astonishing, she would have been reduced to minced meat by now. But this Jade Armor possessed a full 5,000 points of Durability, and it was in a state of rapid Recovery. Still, Iwagaki was simply too strong. Unable to mount a counterattack, they were reduced to passively taking a beating.

Iwagaki laughed sinisterly. "No matter how high your Durability is, it has its limits. Die!"

Iwagaki vanished again. Zhao Chi immediately turned back and thrust his Spear, but there was nothing behind them!

Suddenly, a searing pain shot through the left leg. Iwagaki violently thrust both his claws into a gap in the leg’s Jade Armor. Beneath that gap lay the soft flesh of Tang Ruan’s Body. The long, sharp Wolf Claws pierced deep into the bone. The agonizing pain made Tang Ruan scream involuntarily.

"AHHH!"

Fresh blood spurted out, splattering all over Iwagaki. But instead of pulling his hands back, he tightly gripped the edge of the Jade Armor.

"Finally, some blood! Didn’t you have high Durability? Keep it up! Let’s see how high it can really go!"

Putting Power into his Wolf Claws, the muscles in his arms bulged as he violently wrenched upward!

SQUELCH!

RIP!

A massive chunk of Jade Armor was forcefully torn away, peeling completely off her thigh along with the tender pink flesh clinging to its underside.

"AGHHH!" Tang Ruan shrieked tragically once more.

Zhao Chi felt everything firsthand inside her Body. Although he could enjoy the Effect of the masochist Talent, that intense pain was truly soul-piercing.

Tang Ruan bent over and thrust her Spear again, but Iwagaki had already moved away. Then came a blinding pain in her left ribs. Tang Ruan countered with an elbow strike, missing again, as the Jade Armor on her ribs was pried open and torn off.

Next, the Jade Armor on her left shoulder was ripped away. Then came her right arm, the back of her neck, her left breast, her right abdomen...

In a span of just over ten seconds, patches of white, patches of pink, and patches of crimson were viciously laid bare all over Tang Ruan’s Body.
