He was defeated by that indifferent expression she wore from start to finish and dejectedly lowered his head. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel·fire·net
The girl’s eyes flickered with a sharp light, and without hesitation, she thrust her short sword forward!
At that moment, a clear flute sound resonated throughout Yuhuang Peak! Her movements halted, her face changed slightly, and she quickly looked towards the direction of the flute sound!
Through layers of forest, she seemed to see that distant flute player, gazing toward the boundless sea of clouds beneath the Yuhuang Peak cliff.
Seizing that instant, Su Chen fished out a green-red pill from his breast pocket and quickly stuffed it into his mouth.
A powerful aura instantaneously spread through his body’s meridians and acupoints. Almost simultaneously, the excruciating wound on his leg began to heal automatically, and even the lost blood was rapidly replenished. A faint warmth swirled around the thin ice layer on his leg, continuously melting it away.
He clenched his fist tightly, his gaze swept toward the blood-stained sword lying not far away, pondering how to escape.
This absurdly formidable girl was clearly relying on that ice-blue short sword to bully him. Because Su Chen could distinctly discern from the water attribute aura she emitted that her strength was actually inferior to his. Yet throughout the battle, he had been relentlessly suppressed without the power to retaliate; he couldn’t think of any reason aside from the disparity in weapons.
Moreover, from his observation, an extremely vast amount of water attribute energy seemed to be contained within that short sword, and those terrifying long-range attacks were almost all its handiwork.
If he didn’t seize that sword, he could not defeat this girl!
After several fierce internal struggles, Su Chen’s gaze finally hardened as he bit down and resolved to make a fierce assault towards the girl, intending to seize her short sword!
"You’re courting death!"
The girl snapped back to her senses, her expression icy as she yelled!
The short sword instantly extended, mercilessly heading for Su Chen’s chest!
Su Chen suddenly retracted his hands, grabbing onto the sharp blade of the short sword, and then exerted all his strength to tug. Little did the girl expect him to be so reckless; her face changed drastically as she lightly scolded, "Let go!"
The wind spirals in Su Chen’s palms were torn apart, and his hands were soaked with dark red blood. Though his face was full of pain, he refused to let go, "Without this sword, you can’t do anything!"
The girl bit her silver teeth and kicked Su Chen’s lower abdomen, turning his angry cry into a muffled roar. But to her astonishment, the opponent still didn’t give up!
"If you want to die, then die!"
She cruelly laughed, sending several more kicks, each hitting Su Chen’s lower abdomen.
A mouthful of blood spewed from Su Chen’s mouth. The girl’s lips curled in a sneer, her expression icy as she twisted the sword’s hilt. Su Chen immediately felt a tearing pain piercing through him, throwing back his head and letting out a long howl!
The dull sound of iron hooves pounded the earth like raindrops on a drum. Low, growling roars mixed with Su Chen’s cries echoed rapidly through the dense forest!
The girl’s delicate brows furrowed as she looked back. At this sight, her face instantly turned exceptionally pale.
Hundreds of massive wild beasts came running from the distance, their iron hooves thundering like muffled thunder. Almost in the blink of an eye, a large number of wild beasts emerged from all corners of the forest, including wolves, tigers, leopards, all of them desperately fleeing in the same direction, terror etched on their faces!
