Chapter 23: Defeating Xiongba
Release sword Qi!
Li Chengfeng issued the command in the squad channel.
Shu Fuyao and he simultaneously swung crescent-shaped sword Qi towards Xiongba.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Four sword Qi, each over a meter long, flew out.
Two were dark, and two were green, and they dispersed Xiongba’s Qi-powered giant palm.
Xiongba was secretly shocked: These two could actually release two sword Qi simultaneously!
Of course, he didn’t know that both Li Chengfeng and Shu Fuyao had dual inner cores.
First, they were not lacking in Qi. Second, they could release Qi moves very quickly.
Following that, Xiongba used both “Cloud Dispelling Palm” and “Wind God Legs” together.
Using both hands and feet, Li Chengfeng and Shu Fuyao combined their swords.
Their coordination was also quite in sync as they used their sword techniques.
Xiongba seemed to have a hard time defending.
“What kind of sword technique is this? It’s incredibly powerful!”
Xiongba retreated repeatedly.
“The ‘Golden Youth and Jade Maiden Twelve Swords’.”
“A fine Golden Youth and Jade Maiden, ha!”
He blasted out palm Qi to force the two back.
He didn’t want to continue suffering from the close-quarters combat. He had already realized that he couldn’t win against the two of them in close combat with their two swords.
So he released a Qi move.
?Overturning Mountains and Seas?!
Shu Fuyao’s steps were quick, and she dodged it.
“Coordinate with Ultimate Skill 1,” Li Chengfeng commanded. Then he used the ultimate skill ?Sword Qi Barrage?.
Tiny sword Qi continuously shot out as he swung his sword, flying towards Xiongba.
Dozens of sword Qi burst forth like firecrackers, crackling loudly.
Xiongba looked here and there, his attention drawn by the sword Qi.
He hurriedly parried and dodged.
Shu Fuyao then used a move ?Calm as a Maiden, Swift as a Hare?.
She appeared to approach Xiongba slowly. But in reality, she concealed a deadly intent.
Seeing her approach, Xiongba struck out with a palm.
Shu Fuyao suddenly exerted her strength.
Swift as a hare.
Her entire body almost catapulted forward, moving at incredible speed.
The long sword aimed straight for Xiongba’s throat and Xiongba was greatly alarmed.
The sword’s edge was already in front of him and there was no time to dodge.
He had no choice but to clasp his palms together, using all his strength to catch Shu Fuyao’s deadly sword.
However, Li Chengfeng arrived and severed his right hand with a single stroke.
“How unreasonable! What kind of skill is it to fight two against one?”
Xiongba realized he couldn’t win by sheer strength. He could only think of a way to outsmart them, hoping to see if they had the resolve for a one-on-one duel.
Li Chengfeng entered the scene:
“Enough talk. Today, I, the great hero, will rid the martial world of this menace.”
“Despicable! Don’t push me too far!”
Xiongba was furious. However, having already lost one hand, how could he still be a match for the two of them?
Li Chengfeng and Shu Fuyao executed a series of coordinated ultimate skills. With some close calls but no real danger, they subdued Xiongba.
Their swords simultaneously pierced Xiongba’s chest.
Life faded from Xiongba’s eyes, and he fell to his knees.
Crack!
The sky suddenly brightened, and a bolt of lightning struck down with a thunderous roar.
The crimson clouds in the sky gradually dispersed.
Golden sunlight began to break through the cloud layers.
System notification:
?Ding! Congratulations on defeating Xiongba.?
?Normal mode “Braving the World Society” challenge successful.?
?White text achievement obtained.?
?Level 10 Dual-player Secret Realm – “Braving the World Society” – Normal mode – Score: 86.?
At the same time, Shu Fuyao also received a system notification.
?Level 10 Dual-player Secret Realm – “Braving the World Society” – Normal mode – Score: 74.?
The achievement score represented performance during the challenge.
The higher the score, the better the performance was perceived by others.
When teaming up with others, displaying the achievement allowed others to quickly gauge the achiever’s level.
The two of them looked at each other, and they laughed heartily.
Shu Fuyao’s delicate face bore some scars and there were traces of blood.
Some of her sweat-dampened hair clung to her cheeks.
Other strands fluttered in the wind.
She looked both graceful and heroic. Fighting side by side not only increased their coordination.
Their relationship also unknowingly deepened.
Two strands of golden light emerged from Xiongba’s body and entered theirs.
?Ding, congratulations! Your internal energy has risen to Level 11.?
Li Chengfeng received the system notification. He couldn’t help but feel another surge of joy.
His internal energy had leveled up!
After Level 10, each level increase adds 20 points to all attributes.
Li Chengfeng’s attributes all reached 140 points.
Rumble, rumble!
The stone slabs on the plaza opened and closed.
Two stone pillars rose, each topped with a treasure chest.
Shu Fuyao’s delicate face lit up with excitement:
“Quick, let’s see what rewards we got.”
She knew that the final boss usually rewarded better items.
She jogged up and picked up the first treasure chest, but it wouldn’t open. So she went to open the second treasure chest.
A strand of golden light, like gold coins, entered her body.
?Money +6300 yuan.?
She looked back into the chest. It was empty!
“There’s only money! There’s nothing else.”
Shu Fuyao dejectedly lowered her arms.
Although she knew that in “individual loot” mode, it was impossible for everyone’s treasure chest to contain good items.
A single boss usually only rewarded one piece of equipment. Only the lucky ones could find it in their treasure chest.
Li Chengfeng picked up his own treasure chest.
Shu Fuyao leaned in, blinking her bright, watery eyes at the chest.
Her small mouth was slightly pouting, full of anticipation.
