The scene was silent and the atmosphere was oppressive.
The dust settled …
From the hole in the ground, a figure slowly stood up.
In the hazy light, the figure appeared to have melted into the surroundings.
She was quiet and cold.
There was a bone-chilling coldness and apathy radiating from her but at the same time, there was a murderous aura around her.
At that moment, Ruo Yu's appearance had changed to a certain degree compared to before she landed. Other than the white bone mask on her face, there was … a hole the size of a ping pong ball on her neck. Other than that, her eyes had turned into black with white pupils and her hair had grown to her waist.
Item Name: Broken Face's Cheek
Item Type: Armor
Quality: Perfect
Defense Points: Medium
Element: None
Special Effect: Decrease the duration of negative control effect by 70%
[Equipment Requirement: Fighting Mastery A, Bound]
Remark: The mask contains part of the power of the hogyoku. After activation, it will allow the wearer to temporarily enter the state of 'incorporeal'. However, this power can only be used once. After it is exhausted, the quality and effect of the mask will be permanently lowered. — — —
Ruo Yu had obtained this equipment a long time ago but she had not used the 'equipment and costume' in the scenario and had not used the power of 'incorporeal'. Therefore, from appearance alone, one would not be able to tell that she was wearing this equipment.
The reason why she hadn't used it before was obvious. After using it, the effect of the item would weaken. It was very likely that a "Perfect" equipment would drop to a "Normal" or even a "Broken" grade.
But … as Ruo Yu had said, if she used it here, on Xu Huai Shang … then it would be worth it.
"It's almost time for Soul's Advent, isn't it?" Under the mask, Rainy's voice became eerie and heavy, as if two people with one high and one low were harmonizing.
Once she stood up, she turned to look at Xu Huai Shang and said that.
Xu Huai Shang understood what her opponent was trying to say. If you still want to win, you'd better make your move before Soul's Descent ends.
"Not only did she not die … the wounds on her body have all healed up …" Xu Huai Shang observed Ruo Yu for a few seconds before muttering to herself, "Tsk … she sure is hard to deal with …"
Before she even finished speaking, Xu Huai Shang unleashed another attack.
"Celestial Tyrant … Godseal Slash!"
After she shouted, Xu Huai Shang used only a split second to get close to Ruo Yu. Her movements were light and nimble. Her swift saber slashed out like a whirlpool. The saber Qi that was released was like a chainsaw, tearing out arc-shaped slashes.
"Sword. Void Scar."
Ruo Yu's body did not move as she faced the attack. She only raised her left hand and slashed out a fierce sword light with the Origin Water Deity Sword.
In the [Magic Sword] swordsmanship, the [Sword. Void Scar] did not actually exist. Ruo Yu had improvised this attack. Even though the details of the attack were not as precise as Wind Mark's swordsmanship, but the sword intent was similar to the wild nature of the [Magic Sword]. It complemented the latter very well.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk —
Following a few strange sounds, the Combat Qi on the saber and the sword clashed in the air again.
But this time … the balance of power had been broken.
"She … actually blocked it?" After the exchange of blows, Xu Huai Shang was shocked. Her opponent was only using one hand while her [Celestial Tyrant's Godseal Slash] was a technique that required the strength of both hands to activate.
Under such circumstances, even if it was a draw, Xu Huai Shang was still at a disadvantage …
"I'm sorry … I seem to have underestimated the power of Void Scar." At this moment, Ruo Yu casually added, "It looks like … it doesn't matter if your soul is still here or not, it doesn't matter anymore."
Hearing this, Xu Huai Shang did not respond. Instead, she used the [Secret Sword. Moonlight Blade] again. She rushed forward and slashed at Ruo Yu.
Unexpectedly …
Bang —
Her saber landed on Ruo Yu's ribs, but it did not create a wound …
"In this state, the surface of the skin will be as strong as steel, but the softness and tension of the skin will be the same as normal skin." Rainy did not even lower her head to look at her opponent's blade. Instead, she stared at Xu Huai Shang's face and said, "Initially, I thought that even with this level of defense, I would still be injured if I took a direct hit. But … when I exchanged blows with you earlier, I realized that … due to the fact that turning into the void greatly increases one's basic physical skills, your strength and speed are no longer a threat to me. So I concluded that even if you hit me directly, it would be fine. "
"How dare you!" Xu Huai Shang started to panic. Because when Ruo Yu was hit by the saber, the time limit of Soul's Advent … was up.
"Cherry Blossom. Moon Break!" In the next second, she used the killer move that once cut Invincible Champion in half.
This move … was not given by Soul's Advent. It was Xu Huai Shang's own skill. Compared to using the skills of Soul's Advent, she was more familiar with using her own skills.
Puff — Gugu —
This slash was accompanied by the strange sound of bones being torn apart … The blade successfully tore through Ruo Yu's "steel skin" and left a horizontal wound on her abdomen.
But …
"Super regeneration is one of the basic abilities of Void Scar." When Ruo Yu said this sentence casually, her wound was already healing at a speed visible to the naked eye …
"Other than that, I can now use my hands and even my mouth to cast Void Scar. I don't need any preparation time." After pausing for half a second, Ruo Yu continued, "It's just … It's a bit of a pity to end this duel with a single energy attack."
"Hmph …" At this time, Xu Huai Shang took a few steps back and showed a helpless and bitter smile, "My head and organs can't be regenerated, right?"
"Yes, use a stronger attack than the previous one … Decapitate me and you'll win." Ruo Yu replied.
"So … that's it?" Xu Huai Shang asked a question that sounded strange to the onlookers.
However, Ruo Yu understood.
"Yes, that's it." She replied.
After that, the two of them exchanged glances.
Then, Xu Huai Shang took two deep breaths and spread her twin sabers on both sides of her body. She assumed the posture of a swallow spreading its wings.
Ruo Yu separated her twin swords and stood sideways. Then, she took half a step forward.
Breathing was like an invisible signal.
Once, twice … On the third exhale, they both moved.
Twin sabers turned into [Falling Petals].
Twin swords used [Remnant Wind Sword Shadow].
Ding!
Since the start of this battle, this was the first time that sabers and swords … made such a clear and crisp sound.
Two seconds later, the two figures crossed each other and landed on the ground … They stood with their backs to each other.
At this moment, all the light disappeared, all the sound was silenced, and all the movements stopped.
The killing array of sabers and swords no longer existed. The murderous aura no longer existed.
One breath later, one of them fell.
At the same time, the dawn sun parted the fog in the sky and shone on the victor's shoulder …
