Chapter 189 Levelled-Up Slaughter

Rumble...

Lightning still flashed, but instead of striking downwards, the gathering dark clouds in the night sky hinted at impending rain.

"Hua Xing!" Jiang Xiao's eyes were bloodshot, his mind focused solely on these two simple words. Under the night sky, his figure vanished in an instant.

"Ha... ha..." Yi Qingchen and the stiff-bodied disciple beside her, similarly freed from control, suddenly slumped, gasping for breath, cold sweat pouring down their foreheads.

The eerie black mist puppet seemed to have departed with its master.

She also teleported away quickly. Judging from the direction Tang Dao had slashed and sped away, she flickered several times, but... she couldn't find any trace of battle.

Hua Xing Duo vs. Jiang Yi's two teachers,

Where exactly had this top-tier team battle gone?

Meanwhile, tens of kilometers away, in the distant night sky...

Yi Tenghui's body blazed with the Wind-Swept Leaves constellation. With speed imperceptible to the naked eye, he slashed wildly at Baze, knocking Baze away time and again, only to reappear in front of him each time.

In the blink of an eye, the fighting pair had moved away from the town, into the wilderness, disappearing into a dense forest.

Baze was knocked away repeatedly, but he couldn't use his Teleportation Star Technique to escape. Whether it was Yi Tenghui's speed or the effect of his mysterious Wind-Swept Leaves constellation, it was impossible to tell.

Baze wore not only the Soul-Devouring Sea Garment but also a suit of intricate lightning armor. Even so, under Yi Tenghui's powerful blade energy, the Soul-Devouring Sea Garment cloak had been slashed with numerous cuts.

Zzzzzz...

The currents finally affected Yi Tenghui, who was flitting through the wind. In that brief moment of pause, Baze's body erupted with electric light, waves of current spreading out.

Unnoticed by anyone, a special current within the countless fine electric streams splashed onto the ground, snaking away and disappearing into the earth...

Nanako's figure appeared behind Yi Tenghui like a phantom.

Yi Tenghui's chest constellation glowed brightly, a gust of wind rising, his long ponytail flying in the wind. The Tang Dao in his hand shone brightly in the night sky, once again stabbing towards Baze's heart.

Swish...

The blade pierced flesh!

The Tang Dao, wrapped in fluttering leaves, was clearly a Hua Xing Cheng Wu!

And a high-level one at that!

Yi Tenghui, wielding the Tang Dao, had pierced a hole through the Soul-Devouring Sea Garment!

His strength undiminished, he pierced the lightning armor until, finally, the blade pierced Baze's heart!

Baze, however, grabbed Yi Tenghui, his body surging with electricity, thrashing wildly.

Yi Tenghui seemed to realize something. His body was completely numb from the electricity, rendering him immobile.

His hand, gripping the Tang Dao and trembling violently, exerted all its strength, twisting the Tang Dao, churning Baze's heart.

In the end, Yi Tenghui abandoned all thought of survival, ensuring Baze's death once more!

Tear!

The blade pierced flesh!

"Shinei!" Nanako screamed, a blood-red samurai sword constellation blooming on her chest.

Hua Xing Cheng Wu!

The blood-red, razor-sharp samurai sword in her hand also stabbed into Yi Tenghui's back!

Yi Tenghui, paralyzed by the electricity, had anticipated this.

His body trembled violently, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. The twenty-fourth star slot in the constellation before him suddenly lit up!

Live by the blade, die by the blade!

Yi Tenghui's lips quirked in a final smile, leaving behind his last smile for the world, his entire being lit up with a blinding light!

"Hehe." Baze, impaled through the heart, suddenly grinned sinisterly...

Baze's body abruptly turned into countless electric currents, dissipating into the night sky.

Only a tattered Soul-Devouring Sea Garment remained on Yi Tenghui's Tang Dao...

Yi Tenghui: !!!

It was Baze's lightning clone!?

When did it become a clone? Was it... was it in that second just now when he paused?

"Hehe..." Nanako also grinned coldly. The razor-sharp Hua Xing Cheng Wu: Blood-Colored Samurai Sword, slashed horizontally!

Clang!

In the rain, a Starry Sky: Silence!

Teacher Jiang had arrived!

Wearing a Soul-Devouring Garment, his body wrapped in a pitch-black cloak, he could easily be mistaken for a member of Hua Xing...

The Starry Sky: Silence, reduced to a diameter of 1 meter, instantly enveloped Nanako, who was slashing with her sword!

The Hua Xing Cheng Wu: Samurai Sword in her hand, having just sliced out from under Yi Tenghui's left arm, was immediately silenced, the weapon shattered and vanished without a trace.

Pfft...

Nanako's face, which had been filled with joy and a murderous excitement in her emerald eyes, suddenly froze!

A mouthful of blood spurted from her mouth, the act of spitting blood agonizingly slow.

At the same time, a pillar of blessing light enveloped Yi Tenghui, whose body was flashing with blinding light!

Even without the Silence, Yi Tenghui, who had activated his self-destruction mode, seemed to have lost consciousness.

Yi Tenghui's eyes rolled back, his mouth uttering unconscious sounds: "Uhhh... ahhhh..."

Almost the moment Jiang Xiao entered the battlefield, the two figures in the air quieted down.

Yi Tenghui, who was attempting to self-destruct, also lost the blinding light around him, leaving only the pillar of blessing light.

Self-destruct!?

Did I agree to that?

Trying to go down in a blaze of glory in front of me?

I'll heal you!

Ding~ Ding~ Ding~

Jiang Xiao flickered to the upper edge of the battlefield, a bouncing wave of healing light traveling back and forth between Jiang Xiao and Yi Tenghui.

Yi Tenghui's bleeding, half-torn chest was being healed at an incredible rate.

With just a few simple leaps of the healing light wave, the near-death Yi Tenghui, under the combined effects of Blessing and Bell, had returned to full health...

Swish...

Yi Tenghui, dizzy, fell from the sky, but was once again enveloped in a beam of blessing light.

Tear!

Jiang Xiao's figure flashed, switching to the Flower Blade constellation, wielding a mist-shrouded, deep-red giant blade, directly piercing Nanako's back!

Because she had been using clones to stir up trouble earlier, she had removed the Soul-Devouring Sea Garment to confuse people, so she had no Soul-Devouring Sea Garment's defensive bonus.

Of course, even if she had the Soul-Devouring Sea Garment, Jiang Xiao's Flower Blade wouldn't be afraid!

It wasn't the first time he'd pierced the Soul-Devouring Sea Garment!

Nanako opened her mouth wide, but was unable to make any sound within the Starry Sky: Silence domain.

Her pupils contracted violently, the giant blade piercing her body, from back to chest. Before her, the blood-mist-shrouded giant blade was revealed!

She didn't know where this sharp, deep-red giant blade came from.

She didn't know what Star Technique the Silence was that had made her so disoriented and even difficult to move. Why was her body falling so slowly in the air... Why had the surrounding air seemed to become viscous?

She didn't know why the person behind her could find the battlefield in an instant, and teleport so far, and arrive so quickly. She thought she had plenty of time to spare...

She also didn't know why, while in the Silence domain, the person behind her could still use Star Techniques, Hua Xing Cheng Wu?

All she knew was that this time, it seemed... it seemed...

A series of information asymmetries created a scene of instant life and death.

In fact, Jiang Xiao had never entered the Silence domain. This Starry Sky quality, reduced to a diameter of 1 meter, Silence range, was custom-made for Nanako.

Jiang Xiao's face was grim, wielding the giant blade, slashing wildly from side to side, tearing everything apart.

One slash! Two slashes! Three slashes! Four slashes...

Beneath the dense, deep-red mist, the extremely sharp Hua Xing Cheng Wu: Flower Blade, in just a moment, had completely dismembered Nanako's body, shattering it.

Jiang Xiao grabbed her head, clutching her dark hair.

He saw her astonished face, and the emerald eyes that had lost their light.

"Cross-level kill, Skill Points +5."

Jiang Xiao wiped his blood-stained face, floating in the air, trying to sense everything. Holding Nanako's head in his hand, dripping with blood, he still couldn't sense Baze's location.

"Ba! Ze!!!" Jiang Xiao waved his hand, a maximized Calamity Shadow World gate quietly opened, and a behemoth rushed out.

Through mental connection, W嗡嗡鲸 knew what Jiang Xiao needed.

"Ommm..."

Under the shared feelings, a sorrowful whale song tore through the layers of rain, echoing in the night sky...

Under the torrential rain, Jiang Xiao closed his eyes tightly. With each whale song, his mind was filled with blue lines, outlining the contours of everything within the range of the sound.

"My Star Beast, don't misunderstand." Jiang Xiao opened his eyes suddenly, obviously sensing that Yi Tenghui had regained consciousness.

On the ground, Yi Tenghui, slowly waking up, silently crawled to his feet.

He didn't know what had happened. His last memory was of using self-destruction to protect the Yi family.

But when he regained consciousness, he found himself lying on the wet mud, surrounded by fragmented limbs. In the sky, a behemoth was slowly swimming...
