Qi Xu had just spent a short time striking various parts of Master Huixin's body, and came to a conclusion.
Although his entire body was shimmering with golden light, the defensive strength varied across different areas. He had to predict the attack direction in advance, concentrate his mental energy, and focus his defense on the main targeted spots.
If that was the case... then she needed to use her brain...
Qi Xu's gaze was sharp, her expression noticeably more serious. She tightened the twin blades in her hands. The scattered energy around her suddenly withdrew, then slowly gathered and rose around her body, until even the air seemed to press down under the growing intensity.
Master Huixin understood and became fully focused as well. This was the moment for the big move!
Qi Xu judged the timing was right, hesitated no longer. Her body shot forward like an arrow loosed from a bowstring. The twin blades traced two arcs of pink light in front of her. She didn't even use teleportation, instead relying on pure speed and power to break through that golden barrier head-on!
Though Master Huixin had only recently encountered the Unrivaled Black Whirlwind, he was already familiar with her fighting style—unconventional, flexible, and highly unpredictable.
He worried she might be feinting left and striking right. Only when he was sure the Unrivaled Black Whirlwind no longer had time to change her tactic did he channel all his mental energy to the front, exactly where her twin blades would land.
He prepared to meet the Unrivaled Black Whirlwind's strike head-on with sheer force!
But the moment the blades actually came down, his eyes flew wide open. What seemed like an incredibly fierce slash landed softly, completely lacking any power!
What else could it be? He'd been tricked.
The next second, a sharp pain erupted from behind him. Those pink mist blades again!
Though the pain in his back was intense, Master Huixin thought he could endure it. He assumed those pink mist blades were the Unrivaled Black Whirlwind's backup plan. But he didn't expect the twin blades about to strike his chest to change direction as well.
As he tried to spin his body, the twin blades arced in from a strange angle, crossing toward his waist. When he gathered his golden light to block them—
The blades shifted direction once more. Paired with multiple pink mist blades sealing off his escape routes, a heavy blow struck his chest again. Her target had always been his chest, she had simply created a time lag!
All of his defenses had been wasted on the wrong places.
Master Huixin couldn't hold on this time. He spewed a mouthful of blood, his entire body covered in bloody gashes... Qi Xu teleported back to create distance, not a single drop of blood stained her clothes.
"Master, don't waste your blood. Can you still fight? If you can, attack me, don't just stand there. If you can't fight anymore, go to the window and put that blood to use."
Qi Xu's expression was gentle, her words thoughtful. But not just Master Huixin—everyone watching felt an overwhelming sense of pressure.
They understood now. This was the suppression of the number one player in the entire server. She truly lived up to her reputation.
She had defeated him without giving him any chance to fight back. Though she ultimately won with strategy, there was no doubt about her raw strength.
This was the most frightening type of opponent to face. You could never predict what moves she would use against you. Even if her powers were formidable enough, she had so many variations.
Even though she had roughly revealed her ability skills, you still couldn't defend against them. Her pink mist blades and teleportation showed no signs of activation, so even knowing about them didn't help you prepare in advance. No wonder she didn't mind exposing her skills.
Master Huixin naturally wasn't going to answer Qi Xu's question. Instead, he directly admitted defeat, "The Unrivaled benefactor is formidable. This humble monk is no match for you."
Qi Xu smiled and lightly shook her head. "Master, don't be so modest. If you had used all your tricks, I wouldn't have won so easily. I truly recognize your strength."
Qi Xu had only wanted to test him, but she didn't expect him to freeze for a brief instant. Well, well—even a monk had so many ulterior motives. Already beaten to this state, and still holding back?
Qi Xu's mind immediately started racing, trying to figure out what other skills Master Huixin might have. Could it be that, like Comrade Little Xie with his idol image, his skills might affect his image, making him willing to take severe damage rather than use them?
No, that couldn't be it. The master didn't seem like someone who cared about showing off.
Master Huixin slightly shook his head, recited "Amitabha," and silently walked over to the window.
Standing upright, chin held high, expression serious and earnest, he muttered something under his breath. No matter how badly he was wounded, he still appeared calm and composed.
It was a stark contrast to the half-dead-looking HandsomeBoyMe188 nearby.
He pressed the wounds on his back completely against the glass, alternating his hands to cover the cuts on his chest. When his palms and sleeves were soaked with blood, he wiped it onto the window behind him.
Qi Xu frowned slightly. This man was both admirable and irritating.
Wolf Warrior 005, who hadn't been badly injured and had mostly recovered, stood up on her own initiative.
She said, "Shall we fight?"
"Alright!"
Qi Xu held nothing back. There were no weak Wolf Warriors; fighting with full force was the greatest respect she could show.
The Emei daggers in Wolf Warrior 005's hands were exceptionally agile, constantly spinning, hooking, and stabbing in her grip. It was hard to follow their movements clearly. Qi Xu abandoned her defenses and went all out in her attacks—since everyone was bleeding, it wouldn't be right if she didn't shed a drop herself.
Wolf Warrior 005 didn't disappoint Qi Xu. Seeing Qi Xu give up blocking and suddenly intensify her attacks, a fiercer fighting spirit flared in her eyes.
With a flick of her wrist, the Emei daggers traced two cold arcs. They evaded Qi Xu's twin blades and slid along the inside of her forearm in a tricky upward thrust, while the black spheres at the daggers' tails began to crackle with tiny bolts of lightning.
Qi Xu felt a sharp, numbing sting on her forearm as drops of blood dripped to the ground where the blade tips had cut her. But instead of retreating, she swung her twin blades horizontally while simultaneously driving her right knee forward. The mist blades sealed off her opponent's escape, and Wolf Warrior 005 was instantly wounded as well.
The two figures tumbled in a fierce, inextricable struggle. Every attack and defense was carried out with ruthless determination, yet neither seemed disheveled. Instead, they were like two unsheathed blades, growing sharper with each clash. It was clear that both of them were in excellent spirits.
Emberkissed Starfire watched from the side, grinding her teeth in frustration. When she had fought Wolf Warrior 005, she'd been constantly worried about those black spheres attached to the ends of the Emei daggers. But in the end, the woman hadn't used them even once.
Now look—the moment she started fighting the Unrivaled Black Whirlwind, the black spheres were already crackling with lightning...
Emberkissed Starfire muttered resentfully, "Hmph. So I just wasn't worthy."
Xie Shaoning nodded along beside her. "Yeah, your strength compared to these two is really quite far off..."
"Shut up and bleed, I don't need you to remind me!" Emberkissed Starfire cut him off, grinding her teeth as she glared back at him.
Little Xie obediently mimed zipping his lips. Learning when to shut up was always one of life's most important lessons. Heh, he'd learned that one long ago.
