Chapter 541: Master Match

In terms of pure melee fighting, Qing Ling’s techniques had reached the top through nonstop hellish training and real fights. Even War Tiger praised that she was unrivaled to those weaker than he was, and could take out someone above War Tiger’s level at the price of her life.

Through her keen battle instinct, Qing Ling did three things in half a second: let go of the two blades in her hands, activate Metal to thrust the blades at her target, and drew the Butterfly Twin Blades from her outer thighs.

Swoosh, swoosh.

The Butterfly Twin Blades cut the whip wrapping around her waist into three pieces at incredible speed. At the same time, the two long blades pierced through the little abomination’s shoulders under the control of Metal.

Originally, Qing Ling planned to pierce through the monster’s arms in order to better restrain the little abomination, but the blades were skewed by the crimson force field.

Not by much, though.

Qing Ling didn’t give the little abomination the chance to react. While the force field had compromised her coordination, swinging her arms in such short range, Qing Ling could still attack with seventy percent of her power.

Utilizing a close range hand-to-hand combat technique, Qing Ling made slashes, cuts, stabs, and upward swings with the Butterfly Twin Blades in reverse grips, every movement flowing to the next perfectly.

Although every injury she left was shallow, her attack speed was incredible, hitting so many points that she damaged an entire area, the attacks spread out and leaving the enemy with no time to counterattack.

From a distance, it looked like a slim, elegant lawn mower was harvesting red baileys relentlessly.

Moreover, the energy of level 3 Electricity lingered in the Butterfly Twin Blades, and every two to three slashes, a violet current would be triggered, applying a paralyzing effect.

Like a heartless killing angel, Qing Ling rained down attacks at the little abomination, accuracy be damned.

Red flesh and blood scattered amid crackling violet currents. The little abomination howled with pain as it backed off, but none of the sounds reached Qing Ling.

In ten seconds, she inflicted more than a hundred gashes on the little abomination.

Spotting an opening, she quickly drew her blades back and thrust at the little abomination’s eyes.

She suddenly shuddered, sensing the melting debuff intensifying; the crimson force field in the area was contracting toward the little abomination.

She quickly pulled back her blades and jumped backward, but with her movement slowed by the force field, she couldn’t get out of range in time.

Thud.

Lithe Snake had gotten close at some point, blocking the thrust with his right hand. His right palm was pierced through, bleeding profusely and quickly turning into jelly.

The curse came into effect quickly. In two seconds, it would spread through Lithe Snake’s body, and he would die.

Without thinking, Qing Ling swung her Butterfly Twin Blades to cut off Lithe Snake’s forearm, jumping backward to put some distance from the little abomination.

When the pain hit, Lithe Snake thought with pleasant surprise,

You read my mind, Green Snake!

Enduring the pain, he jumped to the side and shouted, “Self-Detonate!”

Boom!

Lithe Snake forearm blew up, the power no lesser than that of a small bomb.

This was the second time. The monster extended an arm forward and tilted its head back, shielding it with its other hand, doing its best to lessen the damage the explosion would do.

A second later, it still got thrown off its feet by the explosion.

“Weak Point!”

Nine Frost had been waiting for it. He hadn’t been doing nothing, but had approached Gray Bear and took off the man’s belt to wrap around his right hand, waiting for a chance to attack—he had thought about using his own, but then it would be ridiculous for him to worry about his pants falling off as he fought.

Now, his chance was coming.

With his belt-wrapped right hand, Nine Frost made a heavy punch at the back of the little abomination flying his way, sending it flying toward Lithe Snake.

Now armless, Lithe Snake jumped forward and kicked the little abomination in the chest with both feet. Caught off guard, it flew back to Nine Frost like a shuttlecock.

Then Nine Frost made another swing, the second punch hitting the monster’s back in the same spot. Due to the disturbance of the crimson force field, his punch didn’t land at the right angle, and the little abomination flew toward Qing Ling.

“Metal!”

Qing Ling raised both hands to control the two Gold Blade weapons still buried in the monster’s shoulders. Propelled by the great force, the two blades quickly dragged the little abomination back to Nine Frost.

—Activate level 6 Weak Point!

—36 times!

Fist clenched, Nine Frost charged at the little abomination and made the third punch. He could already picture its chest bursting and then its whole body twisting and spiraling before blowing up into pieces.

Even if it could still reassemble, it would take a long time, during which Captain Seven Shadow would surely burn the pieces into a pool of blood with his signature flamethrowing.

But that didn’t happen.

Nine Frost’s belt-covered fist went awry before it could land a punch, the momentum offset somewhat. The punch ended up hitting the monster’s abdomen, and it didn’t trigger a 36 times bonus.

Nine Frost started. The force field had returned to the monster at some point, applying a tripled melting effect. Once hit, the monster flew about seven meters away, rolling twice on the ground, but generally unhurt.

Splat.

The two blades were spat out from the little abomination’s shoulders. It quickly took flight and flew toward the other duplicate. As soon as they collided, they merged into one with a gurgle like two red jellies.

It seemed to have realized that the duplicate tactic it learned from Gao Yang wasn’t the way to go.

Turning back to the malformed child, it hovered in the air, surrounded by an amber-like dense crimson force field.

With its legs tucked and its arms around them, its head buried between its knees, it looked like a bullied child cowering and sobbing in a corner.

At that moment, Gao Yang felt an indescribable pity for it.

Don’t be silly, Gao Yang.

It’s not human, but an abomination that’s bloodthirsty, evil, and terrifying.

It just killed Gray Bear and will go on to kill all of you!

Gao Yang wiped away the unnecessary sentimental thoughts with Psychic Armor, regaining his rationality.

And he was right to do that.

“Gahhh—”

A few seconds later, the little abomination flew into a rage. It tipped its head up and made a furious shriek that could pierce through eardrums.
