Bang!
The forged blade shattered instantly, and Leoz's figure was immediately thrown back. Before he could hit the ground, a massive hand, condensing Qi Energy, fiercely grabbed him and slammed him onto the ground once more!
Boom!
Smoke and dust rolled, but Leoz, like a nimble mudfish, rolled on the spot, took a quick step forward, and Qi Energy burst from his toes. He performed consecutive jumps, quickly escaping the attack range of Qinlan Jiuge.
"Hmm, nice footwork..."
Qinlan Jiuge nodded, unable to hold back a word of praise.
"Using a Zeta Rank (6) physique and still getting to this point, truly remarkable. Your true strength is definitely beyond this—an avatar perhaps? Or a projection."
As she spoke, she gently raised her hand and crushed the sword light slashed by the Caramel Snail effortlessly, and then swung an elbow backward into Lanan's abdomen during an attempted sneak attack. Fortunately, before the attack fully landed, Yueyue swiftly stepped into the Spirit Realm.
These folks have a very decent level of cooperation.
'Looks like I need to get a bit serious, or people outside will think I'm slacking off.'
Qinlan Jiuge withdrew her hand, and Long Yuqiong, half-dragonized, was already charging at her head-on. She gathered Qi Energy, and the Qi Energy from her right palm pierced through the air, emitting a fierce plasma radiance.
Hawk Style - Mist Flight!
Just as Long Yuqiong raised his War Lance to thrust, Qinlan Jiuge's palm pressed his head forcefully onto the ground.
Whoosh————Boom!!!
Brilliant light bloomed instantly, colorful radiation filled the sky over Red Mist Star, and the might of the electromagnetic pulse was as overwhelming as millions of atomic bombs going off simultaneously, even disrupting the Cosmic Television's live broadcast equipment.
In the Starry Abyss, never assume that someone wielding a blade is necessarily a melee fighter.
Due to different schools, it's very possible that the blade is used like a magic wand or a chain blade.
Qinlan Jiuge was no different; she waved her hand, and the Caramel Snail, still trying to output, was immediately pressed into the ground by a giant hand of Qi Energy.
"No matter how powerful, it's just this. After all, the advantages of rank and strength are evident."
She stood up slowly from the source of the radiance, unleashing a powerful punch!
"Rocket Fist!"
Qinlan Jiuge raised the Long Sword, using the scabbard to deflect the flying iron fist and slightly redirect its force to the side.
Next, Severston charged over with his giant mechanical suit.
"Hmm, a nice machine. Doesn't quite look mechanical, yet differs from a magic puppet… What is this, perhaps some new technology product? Just a pity..."
Qinlan Jiuge admired as she raised her right hand, clenching it into a fist:
"—It doesn't matter how good the gear is if you don't know how to handle it."
Qi Energy surged intensely, creating a pure Qi Energy storm on the spot. The atmospheres of dozens of planets were affected by her, generating tropical cyclones.
"Under the sky, I am invincible; beyond the heavens, none can compare."
Without even gathering strength, Qinlan Jiuge refused to adopt any stance, preferring to stand up straight and punch forward:
"Hawk Style - Infinite Crushing Fist!"
With just one punch, the force will penetrate and leave indelible marks through all defenses continually building inside the opponent's body.
Once a punch lands, two punches, two punches turn to four, and four punches further compound into sixteen punches—until infinity stacks upon infinity.
No armor is effective; this completely deals True Damage.
Just as Severston was about to be hit by the Infinite Punch, Lanan and Night Fighting Sword abruptly struck from both sides.
Wolf School: Night Raid Hunting
Night Fighting Sword grabbed onto the massive mechanical suit, pulling it into the shadows and splitting into many, like a pack of wolves hunting together, making it impossible to distinguish his form.
Lanan wielded a Ritual Dagger in each hand, her skirt hem fluttering, as hundreds of evil spirits and vengeful souls floated around.
"Soul Capturing Technique—"
Lanan stood in front of Qinlan, turning like in a ballet, eyes glowing blue, the daggers crossed above her head, giving a gentle knock.
Ding————
At that moment, Qinlan Jiuge's eyes saw the world transformed dramatically.
Skinned corpses hung on trees, paper money scent in the air, hearts and lungs extracted to boil soup, the left a gut-seller traversing alleyways, the right a faceless scholar composing poetry, a lively street fair scene, obscuring worldly views, shadow soldiers paving the way for carriages, oil caldrons flipping, all traitorous descendants incinerated to bone crumble.
Purgatory of Fleeting Life's Sights: Hell's Hall!
An unspeakable fear began spreading in Qinlan's heart; this foreign purgatorial spectacle laid great strain on her worldview, not just her spiritual will.
In an instant, her actions slowed down, all she could see were grinning faces, yet none was clear, the further she backed away, the closer they felt.
"Please act swiftly."
Lanan's face was flushed. Trapping such a powerful enemy was an immense burden for her, and the Evil Spirit she commanded was feeling unruly under her control.
This precious time gained would not be wasted by the others.
"The Fury of the Wind effect lasts for half a minute, and Yueyue's Evil Spirit is only twenty seconds..."
Caramel Snail's mind raced.
At present, the most appropriate choice was undoubtedly to run away… no, escape was not an option.
The True General had just met voluntarily to ensure the opponent didn't go all out, but if they fled now, it would make the enemy underestimate them and attack with full force, making escape impossible.
Therefore, a perfect solution was needed.
"Can't let the opponent underestimate us, yet must find a way to leave without them stopping us..."
He muttered incessantly:
"Damn, how is this possible—"
"Let me make a move."
Whoosh—!
A fierce wind roared as Leoz instantly tore through the smoke screen, surrounded by red lightning. A fierce Demon God form emerged behind him.
[Vivid Demon Iron Monarch]
The already heavy armor extended with strange crimson glyphs, burning molten iron becoming animated, serpentine and dragon-like, coiling wildly around his figure, emitting sharp howls before exploding suddenly.
Crackle, crackle!
Steel branched out from his body, emulating the structure of flesh and bones, repeatedly adding exoskeletons, filling with soft metals, and hydraulically supporting joints.
Repeatedly, again and again!
His body grew exponentially, soon reaching 200 meters, with enormous ram's horns extending from his head. His face completely lost any human resemblance, resembling a blend of a goat and an eagle, with sixteen eyes casting deadly scarlet gleams!
Boiling gold traversed across his face, eventually casting a savage golden mask upon it as molten gold sealed.
"In the name of Lichi Peak, we strike against the world."
Leoz raised his hand to grip the furnace at his chest, swiftly forging a burning blade, turning it so, and unleashed the hidden Arcane Energy within him.
[Gravity] — Stack
[Weak Force] — Stack
[Electromagnetic Force] — Stack
[Calamity] — Stack
[Bloodline] — Stack
[Inscription Saint Swordmaster], [Spontaneous Combustion], [Severing Life], [Blood of Eternity], [Cherry Blossom Dragon Scales], [Midday Splendor] — Stack.
Stack it all, again and again, everything stacked!
Since the day he arrived at Starry Abyss, all the Arcane Energy he collected was recorded by the White Obelisk.
Now, all accumulated over this body of the [Blacksmith]!
Leoz guzzled down Olavir's premium liquor like it cost him nothing, stacking all his statuses to the maximum.
"Take this!"
No doubt in Severston's mind, completely trusting his actions, he raised his smart rifle and fired the only combat hormone he had.
"Debuff the enemy, maximize the True General's attack damage!"
Caramel Snail stated, immediately unleashing a shockwave.
"Do as he says," Long Yuqiong instructed, activating his crest and fully transforming into a dragon.
"You trust him that much?" Yutianxiao raised an eyebrow, yet grasped the magic wand, beginning to chant a weakening spell.
"Anyway, the Invincible True General never disappoints us." Lanan, one hand on her hip, noticed Night Fighting Sword standing nearby, casually asked: "Isn't that right, Night Fighting Sword master?"
"Ah, yes indeed."
Night Fighting Sword said awkwardly:
"I've always believed in the True General's power, right, haha…"
Clang—!
Leoz converged all his power, taking a deep breath.
Then, he violently slashed at Qinlan Jiuge trapped within the Evil Spirit!
This strike embodied the culmination of all his and the players' collective efforts, the most extreme attack they could muster at this moment.
