Chapter 595 Attacking the Heart
With a "poof" sound, the soft crystal instantly transformed into a shimmering energy mist that spread throughout the environment around the two of them.
The faint energy mist that Leng Yuexiu perceived as weak was drawn towards him by the energy magnetic field emanating from his body, swirling around him.
Leng Yuexiu didn't even look at it; he simply raised his eyes, and the energy mist seemed to be repelled by an invisible force.
Influenced by this external force, it surged towards the stunned Wu Wei.
The energy mist first adhered to his body surface as he breathed and his body instinctively absorbed it, then gradually melted away and disappeared without a trace.
On the contrary, Wu Wei, who had never tried absorbing crystal energy, felt a huge amount of energy surging around his body.
He had fully recovered all the energy he had expended during the intense offensive, and he had never felt so full and excited before.
Even the slowest person should understand the purpose of that energy mist.
His eyes gleamed with fighting spirit, and when he looked up again, he no longer showed the dejection of having just seen a ghost, but rather an eagerness to try.
Leng Yuexiu showed no enthusiasm for encouraging newcomers and continued to wear an impatient, stern expression.
"Come again."
Wu Wei gripped the dagger tighter and tighter, and the veins on his forehead bulged out from the surface of his skin due to congestion.
"what!"
Wu Wei roared, his aura rising to a new level compared to his previous attack, and he once again swung his dagger to stab forward.
Leng Yuexiu had already guessed his supernatural ability, and in order to finish the matter as soon as possible, he held his short sword horizontally in front of him.
The moment the dagger stabbed, the alligator skin scabbard of the short sword was deflected halfway open.
With a crisp "ding," the tip of the dagger stopped at the blade of the short sword.
Wu Wei gritted his teeth. He had put a lot of force into this attack, and Leng Yuexiu not only took it but also withstood it.
This caused the force to rebound to his tiger's mouth and forearm, sending a tingling sensation that almost made him drop his hand.
There's no such thing as an impenetrable defense; it's like being pierced by a steel plate, with absolutely no chance of cushioning the impact.
Wu Wei became furious, quickly retracted the dagger, reversed his grip in mid-air, and once again slashed the blade towards Leng Yuexiu's face.
After Leng Yuexiu easily deflected the attack, he continued to stab at Leng Yuexiu's neck and heart.
This round of attacks was several times stronger than before in terms of power, speed, and judgment.
The clanging of metal against metal was incessant, and the sparks that flew out many times were particularly conspicuous in the dark night.
As expected, Leng Yuexiu once again completely defended against this round, and Wu Wei's situation once again fell into this limbo.
He continued his attack, his stamina and explosive power were more than enough to keep up, but it was all in vain. He couldn't break through Leng Yuexiu's defenses, so such an attack was meaningless.
Seeing that Wu Wei still dared to be distracted, Leng Yuexiu attacked with a short sword still in its sheath, wielding it with one hand.
Wu Wei was forced to retreat several steps before regaining his footing.
At Su Jiancheng's signal, Cheng Kaixi raised a spot of light to illuminate the two of them, while he and Niu Erzhu simultaneously released two clusters of flames of different colors.
The flames shot directly towards the two fighters the moment their palms touched the ground, then quickly dissipated, forming a small ring of fire.
If you take three steps back from the center, you will be burned by flames that are half a person high.
Moreover, with such a small area and such a high intensity of flame, the temperature at the center of the fire ring must be extremely high.
This is of no benefit to Wu Wei, who is in a state of combat. It will not only quickly deplete his physical strength, but also quickly deplete the water in his body.
This was urging him to end the battle as soon as possible, leaving him no time to delay.
In the firelight, Leng Yuexiu's cold, hard lips curled into a wicked smile, and his eyes, reflecting the brilliant colors of the overlapping flames, resembled a venomous snake lurking in wait, staring intently at its prey.
He gave Wu Wei no time to breathe. A short knife, restrained by a crocodile-skin scabbard, unleashed tremendous killing power, each strike accompanied by a terrifying gust of wind.
The wind from the blade pressed down on the half-person-high wall of flames, making it sway precariously. Wu Wei could only keep changing his footing to deal with it.
The dagger in her hand was no longer a handy offensive weapon; under Leng Yuexiu's repeated attacks, the dagger seemed utterly superfluous.
Leng Yuexiu put one hand in his pocket, leaving only the hand holding the short knife to deal with him.
Bai Mengyan's brow twitched as she watched Leng Yuexiu's actions. She then looked at Hei Ying and Yan Lina, who were completely uninterested in this kind of minor competition and were either sitting or standing near her.
But after Leng Yuexiu put his hands in his pockets, his aura subtly changed, and the two of them stood up abruptly, their dark aura rising.
Su Jiancheng withdrew his hand, which had been imbued with fire energy, and looked worried as he moved closer to Bai Mengyan.
"Isn't it a bit much to go this far?"
Bai Mengyan fiddled with her fingers, "He knows what he's doing, let's wait and see."
As if Leng Yuexiu had triggered some "forbidden" power, a series of cold winds blew over, extinguishing most of the campfires burning in the camp.
The fire circle created by the fire-based abilities surrounding the two combatants was no exception; the height of the flames was reduced by two-thirds.
Leng Yuexiu's smile widened, and he took his hand out of his pocket, where a thick black aura could still be seen even in the darkness of the night.
As he manipulated it, the energy drawn from the surface of the Qi Pill was blown onto the ring of fire, and half of the orange-red flames were maintained by Su Jiancheng's fire-type ability.
Influenced by the energy, the fire ring quickly changed into a ghostly fluorescent green.
The remaining traces of energy, insufficient to cause harm, were guided to entangle Wu Wei, and Leng Yuexiu's sinister voice rang out, "Without adding some potent ingredients, we can't get to the bottom."
It seemed that the wolves in Wolf Valley sensed the abnormality, as long, lonely howls echoed from a distance, adding to the eerie atmosphere and creating a sense of dread.
Wu Wei's expression began to show struggle, sometimes helpless and sometimes fierce.
How could Gray know what had happened? It was just an ordinary competition, so why did it turn into such a big fuss?
He was anxious. In his eyes, Wu Wei was very talented, and such a promising talent was precious. He couldn't let the boss ruin him.
He quickly pushed past the onlookers to get close to Su Jiancheng. "Vice Captain, the boss isn't acting right. Is something going to happen?"
After all, the rest of their team had seen Leng Yuexiu's previous demonic appearance, and his current state was even more chilling than when he was in a killing frenzy.
Su Jiancheng was also at his wit's end. He used to be able to guess it, but now he couldn't figure it out at all.
However, Leng Yuexiu would never harm his own people, and he turned his gaze to Bai Mengyan.
Bai Mengyan felt several pairs of burning gazes on her. She turned around and smiled sweetly. At this moment, she already knew Leng Yuexiu's intentions.
"Don't worry, you always have to use some tactics to win people's hearts."
“Deputy Captain Su, you’re familiar with this.”
