Clang!!!
The blade carved a verdant arc through the air.
A blade mark several inches deep was left on Ceruledge's back, and its body was sent flying dozens of meters away by the immense force.
"Cough, cough, making a mess of dust again? Sigh, I haven't fought in a few days, my body's getting a bit rusty!"
Fei Xiao wiped her face simply; after all, she had taken that Fire Blast point-blank.
...
"What are you surprised about, Jiao Xiaoyan?"
Lin Siyu asked with a puzzled look, nudging the stunned Jiao Xiaoyan.
It wasn't just her; everyone who witnessed what had just happened had wide eyes and open mouths.
"Isn't this worth being surprised about?"
Jiao Xiaoyan only then noticed that Lin Siyu and the other were completely calm.
It was just like calmly putting a dollar found on the roadside into one's pocket.
Lin Siyu still looked full of confusion, scratching her head symbolically as she asked adorably.
"Isn't this normal for Fei Xiao?"
To Meng Xi and the others, who had even experienced small-scale nuclear explosions, this was practically routine.
However...
Meng Xi glanced at Lin Siyu's other little hand, which was restless behind her back.
Lin Siyu: Heh heh, finally, it's not just us who are surprised! I've long wanted to see this expression of yours... look at her expression... it's just wonderful!
But... for some reason, I suddenly had a feeling of being Detected.
Could it be!
Never mind, it must be an illusion!
Meng Xi: ( ๑ ˙ ー ˙ ๑ )
Thinking of this, the corner of Meng Xi's mouth suddenly... Strange, why does it feel quite satisfying?
...
...
"Whoosh."
Ceruledge felt a burning pain in its back, but if it was only to this extent...
It stood up again, propping itself up with its blade, panting slightly, but its aura did not weaken; instead, it had a faint trend of increasing.
"Whoosh."
"As expected, it hasn't lost its combat capability yet!"
Fei Xiao's cyan eyes looked at Ceruledge with a flat gaze, while simultaneously pulling out another gunblade from the ground.
She was much stronger compared to when she faced Hydreigon, so she definitely had to hold back a little.
Well, she understood enough now.
Fei Xiao held the blades in both hands, carving a fluid flourish in the air, then grinned: "Then, round two!"
"Whoosh!"
Ceruledge shifted its center of gravity slightly lower, and flames rose on its sword.
But in the blink of an eye, a flash of cyan streaked by.
"Too slow!"
Fei Xiao still "teleported" in front of Ceruledge, immediately swinging several blades carrying blue fluorescence.
Ceruledge hurriedly blocked in its desperation, its skill directly interrupted, but several scratches of varying depths appeared on its black armor.
Ceruledge refused to be outdone, its twin swords covered in shadows, pressing forward to clash blades with Fei Xiao.
...
Both sides turned into two meteors, one purple and one cyan, twisting and turning as they constantly collided.
With the intense collisions, Fei Xiao's blood boiled even more.
After every collision and every counterattack, she became faster and more precise.
Meanwhile, Ceruledge couldn't gain any advantage in several rounds.
If it was a battle-hardened swordsman, then Fei Xiao was a veteran general who had fought in countless battles.
Its swordsmanship could barely scratch her, and every time it swung its blade, she was faster and stronger than it.
Now, the blade marks on Ceruledge's body were also constantly increasing.
As for the onlookers on the side, they could only see purple and cyan afterimages constantly intertwining and then sparking intense flashes.
The originally intact ground around them was now pitted, and the residual power of the sword qi even cut down all the large trees not far away.
...
"Whoosh."
Ceruledge prepared to release Phantom Force again to dive into the vortex.
Fei Xiao raised her gunblade and fired a bullet.
But it was still a step too late; Ceruledge had disappeared from Fei Xiao's field of vision.
Fei Xiao stood in place; she understood that she couldn't find the opponent with the naked eye, so she took a deep breath and held her breath, focusing her mind.
...
Clang!!!
Fei Xiao's eyes were closed tight, her body motionless, but the next moment, the gunblade in her right hand was held horizontally above her head, blocking the sneak attack.
Ceruledge, seeing the sneak attack failed, retreated, casually releasing Fire Blast to obstruct Fei Xiao.
Fei Xiao swung both blades simultaneously, and a cyan cross wind-blade flew out, colliding with the Fire Blast.
The Fire Blast was instantly shattered, and the cross wind-blade easily tore through the Fire Blast, shooting towards Ceruledge like an arrow.
"Whoosh."
Ceruledge couldn't dodge in time and was hit head-on by the wind-blade.
Clang!
Ceruledge's pupils widened suddenly; it had clearly underestimated the power of this move, and a strange sound seemed to faintly come from the armor on its chest.
"Don't think about running!"
Fei Xiao smiled wickedly, the twin blades in her hands like two bolts of lightning, racing towards Ceruledge simultaneously.
"Whoosh!"
Ceruledge slid several meters after its feet hit the ground, barely stopping.
Seeing the flying blades approaching, it spread its arms and roared, its whole body igniting with raging flames.
Suddenly exerting force with its feet, the ground instantly cracked, and Ceruledge turned into a red meteor, charging straight at Fei Xiao.
Flare Blitz!
Without caring about the incoming gunblades, it relied on its own strength to forcibly shake the twin blades away.
Seeing Fei Xiao lose her weapons, how could it give up such a good opportunity?
It blasted towards Fei Xiao, intending to take this chance for a one-hit kill.
The smile on the corner of Fei Xiao's mouth became even more radiant; she crouched slightly, then pushed off hard with both feet.
She threw a punch with great momentum, making intimate contact directly with the tip of the sword. In an instant, an astonishing power erupted with the two of them as the center.
And for a moment, neither side could gain the upper hand.
Ceruledge and the other soldiers watching the battle couldn't believe what was happening before their eyes.
A... a fist!
Fei Xiao actually used a normal fist to receive the opponent's attack; wasn't she skilled with blades?
"The great victory is sealed!"
Fei Xiao condensed wind elemental energy on her fist, emitting an astonishing hurricane.
In an instant, Fei Xiao sent Ceruledge flying with one punch.
"Whoosh!"
Ceruledge's expression was filled with terror; it hadn't expected the gap to be so large.
Its right sword had already cracked slightly and it was almost unable to fight again.
But the next moment, Fei Xiao turned into a streak of cyan light and appeared in front of Ceruledge again.
Ceruledge had been blasted into the air and hadn't had time to be terrified yet.
"Whoosh."
Fei Xiao followed up with a punch to Ceruledge's abdomen.
Crack!
Ceruledge slammed heavily into the ground, creating a giant pit several meters wide. Its whole body was in extreme pain, and the armor on its abdomen already had cracks, which were even gradually spreading.
Even more terrifyingly, Ceruledge lay weakly in the pit, looking up at the sky, but its body was completely unable to move.
And Fei Xiao stood resolutely in the air, a smile still hanging on her face.
She raised her hand to summon a gunblade, the cyan airflow around her surging, accompanied by a few streaks of blue lightning, turning into a meteor and falling straight down.
She slashed down at Ceruledge with the blade.
Bang!!!
Suddenly, the earth began to tremble violently, as if the entire world was about to be torn apart!
A sharp sword qi whistled out, carrying an earth-shattering momentum, slashing directly across the lake that was the size of a football field.
This sword qi was as fast as lightning, instantly crossing the barrier of the lake water, and sped towards the opposite bank at an astonishing speed.
Wherever it passed, monstrous waves were stirred up on the lake surface, water splashed everywhere, forming a vast expanse of white water mist.
And the sword qi itself showed no signs of weakening at all.
