Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears - Chapter 370: Sword Drawn 5 Centimeters! Slaying William in One Strike?
BZZZ—!
At the direction of her will,
The Swords of Realm that had been roaming the field suddenly let out a unified, ringing hum.
They stopped scattering. Like a hundred rivers flowing to the sea, they instantly shot back toward her!
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
Dozens of Swords of Realm converged above Gu Yuexi’s head, their light weaving together as they merged.
In the blink of an eye, a translucent greatsword, ten meters long and radiating a terrifying, heart-stopping pressure, took form!
“Grand Thousand Sword Intent: Slash!”
Gu Yuexi made a gripping motion with both hands, as if holding the greatsword, and brought it down on William!
This strike locked down the space around him, sealing off any path of retreat!
Faced with a blow powerful enough to cleave mountains and sunder rivers,
William didn’t even try to dodge. Instead, the red glow in his eyes intensified as a crazed, ecstatic laugh spread across his face.
“Hahaha! An excellent attack!”
“This is what I wanted to see! Now *this* is a power worthy of dying at my hands!”
“Now… BREAK!!!”
William threw his head back, his eyes suddenly erupting with red light.
The next second,
BZZZZ—!!!
Two crimson, high-energy laser beams shot directly out of his eyes!
The man could actually shoot lasers from his eyes!
These were no ordinary lasers, but Emperor Realm Crystal Core Energy compressed to its absolute limit. In their wake, they left behind scorched black marks visible even on space itself!
The two lasers and Gu Yuexi’s greatsword slammed into each other in midair!
There was no earth-shattering explosion.
There was only a grating SSSSHHH sound that set one’s teeth on edge.
It was the sound of energy being mutually annihilated.
The space at the point of impact, like a piece of cloth being frantically pulled by two giant hands, began to violently twist, warp, and cave in…
Finally,
the breaking point was reached.
CRACK!
A crisp cracking sound echoed deep within everyone’s souls.
Space… had shattered!
A spatial tear, black as ink, ripped open out of thin air at the center of the collision!
Although it only lasted for a brief moment, and was only the length of a finger,
the sliver of void turbulence that leaked out triggered a chain reaction!
BOOM—!!!!!!!!
An indescribably terrifying shockwave, mixed with invisible fragments of space, swept out madly in all directions from the epicenter!
“This is bad!!!”
On the ground, the contestants from the various nations, who had still been fighting moments before, all paled drastically.
Before this power, they felt as insignificant as ants in a storm.
“Defenses! Raise your defenses!”
Everyone immediately stopped fighting and frantically threw up every defensive measure they had.
But it was too late.
PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!
Several contestants from Ancient Egypt and Rose Country who were closer to the blast had their shields shatter instantly. They were sent flying, vomiting blood in midair, and some were even knocked unconscious by the force.
On Great Xia’s side,
everyone’s faces were also filled with despair.
They were already spent forces. How could they possibly have the strength to withstand an impact of this magnitude?
Just as the devastating wave was about to sweep over them,
at that very moment.
“VMMM!”
A soft but resilient white halo suddenly lit up around every member of the Great Xia Team.
The Realm Guardian Aura!
It was a Spiritual Guardian she had cast in the instant before she was sent flying!
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The shockwave swept past, causing the auras to tremble violently, but they ultimately held firm.
Although Shen Yixuan and the others were knocked about, their Qi Blood churning, they were… still alive! And none of them were seriously injured!
In contrast, the opposing Six Nations Allied Army was a scene of devastation, with bodies strewn across the ground.
…
「Outside the Beast Fighting Arena.」
The tens of thousands of spectators in the audience were utterly silent.
Everyone stared, mouths agape, at the wreckage inside the arena.
A spatial tear?
Ripping space itself apart?
Wasn’t that something only experts who had reached the King Realm could do?!
’Just what kind of monsters are these two young people?!’
「Meanwhile, in the Array Control Chamber.」
“PFFFT—!”
The three Ninth-Grade Grandmasters simultaneously spat out a mouthful of blood.
The spatial tremor just now had almost shattered the entire protective Grand Array!
They had to fight for their lives just to stabilize it.
“Wh-what kind of students are these?!”
“Are they trying to tear down our Martial Arts Dojo?!”
One Grandmaster wiped the blood from his mouth, a look of complete despair on his face.
“And the southwest corner! What’s going on?! It was almost full a moment ago, why is it suddenly empty again?!”
“Forget it, just keep reinforcing it! Who knows what else is going to happen!”
「Back in the arena.」
The smoke and dust gradually settled.
The once-chaotic battlefield was now eerily quiet.
There weren’t many people left standing.
In the air, only two figures remained.
A trickle of blood hung from the corner of Gu Yuexi’s mouth. Her white robes were stained with dust and her aura was somewhat chaotic, but her gaze was still terrifyingly bright as she stared fixedly ahead.
Across from her, William wasn’t in much better shape.
The skin around his eyes was charred black, a clear sign that his last move had taken a massive toll on him. He was slightly hunched over, gasping for breath, and the red glow on his chest flickered erratically.
But he was laughing.
Laughing like a complete madman.
“Hahaha… *cough cough*… How exhilarating!”
“Gu Yuexi… you truly did not disappoint me!”
“Come on! Let’s continue!”
William straightened up as flames ignited around his body once more—a ghastly white fire that was burning away his Life Force.
“Let’s see which is tougher, your sword or my fire!”
Looking at this opponent who had completely descended into madness, Gu Yuexi frowned slightly.
’I’m getting tired. And annoyed. This guy is more trouble than I expected.’
“Enough,” Gu Yuexi sighed softly.
“This farce really should be over.”
She slowly raised her left hand.
VMM!
Space distorted.
The snow-white, ancient Divine Sword, still in its Sword Scabbard, appeared in her hand once more.
At the sight of this sword, William’s pupils contracted sharply, but then an even more intense fighting spirit erupted from him.
Gu Yuexi said nothing.
She simply gripped the hilt in silence.
At that moment, the entire world seemed to fall silent.
The wind died down.
The clamor vanished.
All eyes were focused on that slender, pale hand.
Gu Yuexi closed her eyes, mustering the last shred of her power and… the will of the Great Emperor from the depths of her soul.
ZHEEENG—!
The sword moved.
The first inch.
The same two centimeters she had drawn when she slew Orochi.
BOOM!
A terrifying Sword Qi erupted.
But this time, William didn’t retreat!
“Not enough! It’s still not enough!!!”
He roared, his body engulfed in towering flames, as he actually managed to withstand the Sword Qi head-on!
Gu Yuexi’s eyes snapped open, a flash of determination within them.
Her right hand began to tremble violently, and small cuts even split open on her skin.
“For this Emperor… open!!!”
ZHEEENG—!!!
Another, even clearer and higher-pitched ring of the sword sounded out!
Another section of the blade was drawn!
About five centimeters!
As this section of the blade was revealed, half of an extremely ancient and profound character became faintly visible on its edge.
Though it was only half a character, and no one recognized it,
the instant it appeared,
a terrifying Sword Intent, more than ten times stronger than before, suddenly descended!
If the previous Sword Qi was a surging river, then this Sword Intent was the heavenly river pouring down from the sky!
The world lost its color.
It was as if all the light within the Beast Fighting Arena had been devoured by the sword.
That Sword Intent was not just sharp; it carried a supreme tyranny, an “in heaven and on earth, I alone am the honored one” dominance!
That was the power of a god!
“Wh-What?!”
William, who had been so arrogant moments before, now found the crazed smile frozen on his face.
He felt as if he were no longer facing a woman, but a divinity walking out of ancient times!
The flames he was so proud of were like a candle in a gale before that sword light, instantly dimming and even beginning to tremble!
“No! I am invincible! I am the Chosen One!”
“Block it for me!!!”
William roared madly. The Emperor Realm Crystal Core in his chest was glowing at its absolute brightest, and cracks were even beginning to appear on its surface!
He was overdrawing! He was burning!
He gathered all his energy in front of him, attempting to construct a final line of defense.
However, before true power, all struggles are futile.
SHIIING—!
The sword light, carrying half an ancient character, sliced gently through the void.
There was no earth-shattering explosion.
There was only extreme speed and sharpness.
The several-meter-thick shield of fire in front of William was instantly cut open.
Next was his custom-made Battle Armor.
And finally… his body.
The sword light flashed past and then vanished between heaven and earth.
In the air, everything fell still.
Gu Yuexi’s hand suddenly went limp.
CLICK.
The Divine Sword returned to its Sword Scabbard on its own.
Her face was as white as paper. It was as if all her energy and spirit had been drained. Her body swayed, and she almost fell from the sky.
She gasped for breath, her right hand hanging limply at her side, still trembling uncontrollably as blood dripped from her fingertips.
That single strike was her current limit.
And across from her,
William remained frozen in his defensive posture, unmoving.
The flames on his body began to extinguish, bit by bit,
revealing the horrifying body underneath.
From overdrawing his Life Force and Energy, his once-burly frame had become emaciated, and his skin had taken on a deathly, ashen-gray color, like that of a desiccated corpse.
“I… lost?”
The light in William’s eyes dimmed rapidly, filled with endless resentment and despair.
His body tipped backward.
It crashed heavily onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
And in an inconspicuous corner,
Chu Sheng was still sucking away for all he was worth.
’Oho, so she actually handled it.’
’Looks like this Lord Mosquito won’t have to make a move after all, huh?’
’Not bad, not bad at all… Wait, no!’
Suddenly, Chu Sheng’s compound eyes narrowed as he looked at William’s fallen corpse?
’No, not a corpse.’
’He’s… not dead yet?’
THUMP!
A dull heartbeat suddenly echoed through the arena.
THUMP-THUMP-THUMP-THUMP-THUMP-THUMP-THUMP-THUMP!
It was followed by a faster, extremely rapid beat, like the pounding of war drums!
On the panoramic screens,
the camera focused on the unmoving William.
His chest was throbbing relentlessly!
The next second, his hollow, lifeless eyes… lit up again.
This time, they held no anger, no emotion… only pure, tyrannical killing intent!
