NOVEL NEXT Chapter 222: Blade Release! Open!_3
Even without mentioning the rewards, the valuable combat experiences gained from fighting the Blade Witch were enough to fill Chen Qi with excitement after the crack ended—an excitement like never before.
However...
This was the last lesson.
Chen Qi took a deep breath and silently took out a potion, gulping it down noisily.
[You have taken a strong Healing Potion——]
[You consumed a Blood Frenzy Potion, greatly increasing strength and agility——]
[You drank a Spiritual Power Spring Potion, unleashing a burst of Spiritual Power——]
...
The last time... Chen Qi thought to himself, relishing the sensation of power flooding his body.
Potions are consumables, capable of providing remarkable combat prowess.
But the rarest Blood Frenzy Potion, he had only one bottle of it.
Which meant, his greatest opportunity was just this once...
"A rest?"
You must be joking... A faint smile appeared at the corner of the Blade Witch's mouth, then she descended beside Chen Qi like a crimson lightning bolt.
Red! Thunder Descent!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Hound Step!! Yu Huo around his body!! Rage Blade!! Yu Huo blooms!! Open!
Instant Step!
Chen Qi executed three consecutive Instant Steps, dodging the lightning slash and inflicting three fresh wounds on the Blade Witch's left side, right side, and back, respectively.
"Hmm?"
The Blade Witch uttered in question, recalling that the person before her should have been someone who only knew how to taunt.
She immediately turned and executed a rotation slash!
Clang!
Shadow Blade Slash, Qi Blade Great Rotation!
Chen Qi took the opportunity to crouch down and perform a rotation slash of his own.
With the help of his mentor, his Qi Blade Great Rotation and Shadow Blade Slash had both evolved!
Splurt!
Fresh blood spurted from the Blade Witch's chest!
"You..." Experience new stories on empire
The Blade Witch looked up, disregarding Chen Qi, and fiercely stomped down with her right leg, adopting a stance of holding the sword with both hands.
[The Blade Witch has unleashed the Demon Rage, triggering the Blood-Scarred Form!]
Qi Power! Concentrate!
Red Spiritual Power like a blade spiral converged on the sword blade, forming a forty-meter Qi Blade, then enveloped with a great amount of Spiritual Power!
The surrounding dust and debris were whipped into the air by the wind!
Shadow Armor!
Chen Qi immediately activated his armor and drank another cup of strong Healing Potion, then held his sword horizontal in front of him.
"You have angered me..."
The Blade Witch, like an unstoppable dragon, slashed her blade.
"Fierce Slash!"
With the Blade Witch's furious shout, the dreadful Qi Blade came crashing down like an avalanche!
"Sacrifice My Flesh——"
Chen Qi held his longsword before his eyes, pouring out all his Spiritual Power.
Heart! Limbs! Consciousness! All becoming one!
Boom!
Amidst a cloud of dust, Chen Qi's body constantly retreated, his Shadow Armor shattered, and his blood sprayed out! A pain unlike any he'd felt before spread throughout his body!
"Huff——"
The Blade Witch opened her mouth, panting heavily.
Is it over...
That's all!
I'm still alive!
"My turn!"
A blood-soaked Chen Qi had a crimson gleam in his eyes as he struggled to maintain his stance, gripping his longsword tightly.
Boom!
A massive field of Spiritual Power burst forth from his heart, stunning the area!
The thunderous might even caused the countless corpses on the battlefield to shake into the air.
"Have you learned?"
The Blade Witch blinked, her eyes filled with disbelief.
However, Chen Qi, without giving her a moment's respite, swung his longsword with a thunderous shout.
"Break Bones!!!"
All his Spiritual Power turned into countless sharp red blades, forming a terrifying giant Qi Blade! Like a red tidal wave on land, it slashed towards the Blade Witch!
Boom!
"Blade Counter! Sacrifice blood!"
"Impossible, you can't kill me! Come on! Cut through me!"
In the end, the Blade Witch assumed a defensive counterattack position!
She was determined to withstand the blow!
Since Chen Qi withstood her slash, as the boss, she had no reason to dodge!
Accompanied by a roaring sound!
The wave ferociously enveloped her, tearing her blade, ripping through her light armor, shredding her crimson skin! Shredding the tough bones beneath that skin!!
Huff huff huff——
The wind lifted countless dust, and the battlefield was left with only the sound of the howling wind.
Huff——
Chen Qi looked towards the vast cloud of dust in the distance, then fell to the ground with a thump.
He was done for; his body's strength was utterly depleted, his Spiritual Power long used up.
Relying on the Healing Potion, he could last at most thirty more seconds——
The wind grew ever fainter.
Accompanied by a breeze gently brushing through his hair.
Blood continuously flowed from Chen Qi's body.
In his peripheral vision, he saw the Blade Witch collapse, lying amidst the dust like a common fish.
Will she stand again?
In that moment, amid a question, the victory prompt finally appeared.
"Finally..."
"I won."
Chen Qi let out a long sigh and quietly closed his eyes.
[You have perfectly mastered the Blade Release—'Sacrifice My Flesh, Break Bones'.]
[You have defeated the Blade Witch, commencing fracture settlement...]
