The scarlet and white sword shot forth, directly pa.s.sing through the sparks.
In the next moment, the sparks came together once more, turning back into that elegant woman. She suddenly swung her halberd, and a flame dragon swept towards Zhang Che.
The scarlet and white sword returned, having achieved nothing, leaving Zhang Che incredibly shaken. He had never encountered such a situation before.
Given the scarlet and white sword’s attacking power, even epic-quality exotic beasts would suffer heavy injuries from it. Not only that, Zhang Che had reason to believe that even divine-quality exotic beasts might be injured if they were struck by the scarlet and white sword.
Even so, the graceful woman in front of him came out unscathed!
“How is that possible!?” Zhang Che s.h.i.+vered. Seeing the oncoming fire dragon, he quickly retreated, wanting to dodge the attack.
However, how could Zhang Che possibly be faster than her attack? Before he could retreat ten meters, the terrifying flame dragon swept over him, enveloping his whole body.
Seeing Zhang Che being engulfed by the flame dragon, a disdainful smile flashed on the mysterious woman’s face. In the next moment, however, her smile stiffened.
The flames scattered. Zhang Che stood on the spot, looking surprised, and unhurt by the flames.
“Very good. This woman isn’t as powerful as I imagined. Her dodging the scarlet and white sword’s attack should be some kind of trick.”
The flame dragon failing to penetrate the Elemental Protective Barrier’s defense had left Zhang Che completely relaxed. Since his opponent was unable to hurt him, things became much easier!
A five-colored ray of light shot out from his brow, materializing into the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword in his hand. He strode forward quickly, directly closing in on the woman.
Since the scarlet and white sword was unable to do anything against her, then close quarter combat it would be! Zhang Che didn’t believe the mysterious woman’s close combat ability was stronger than his.
Well, weren’t women born physically weaker than men? Not to mention Zhang Che’s physique was altered. He wasn’t just any ordinary man; he was a man among men, made for fighting!
“Zha!” the woman shouted after seeing her flame dragon had failed to injure Zhang Che. With her long halberd in hand, she too, charged at Zhang Che, her figure almost flying.
Zhang Che wanting to bring the fight to a melee was something she was glad about.
However, just as the both of them started running at one another, Zhang Che sent an order with his will. The scarlet and white sword that had flown in the opposite direction silently flew in from behind her, stabbing at the back of the woman’s head.
-Only a fool would fight with you purely in close combat! Of course it will be best if I can kill you in one strike!-
Alas, it was like the woman had eyes in the back of her head. Her figure suddenly turned incorporeal again, and the scarlet and white sword hit air once more. Afterwards, she roared furiously and swung her halberd fiercely at Zhang Che’s head.
To Zhang Che’s sorrow, when facing that mysterious woman in close proximity, he realized she was actually half a head taller than him, despite him being over six foot tall.
Her halberd seemed to bear the weight of a mountain behind it, slamming down at him, leaving Zhang Che feeling like it was impossible to dodge it.
“d.a.m.n it, I don’t believe you’re stronger than me!” Zhang Che roared furiously, swinging the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword up with both hands and receiving the attack head on.
At present, Zhang Che was able to lift a few thousand kilograms. Swing his sword with all his strength, even a car would be sent flying. It shouldn’t be a problem for him to receive the woman’s halberd, right?
Dang!
A loud clas.h.i.+ng noise erupted. Zhang Che’s face changed greatly, feeling an unstoppable force pressing on the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword from above. His hands went numb from the vibration, the skin on them nearly splitting.
With a loud crunch, Zhang Che suddenly became shorter. His feet directly sank into the golden sand underneath him, burying him close to his kneecaps.
-She’s definitely not a freaking human!- Zhang Che wailed in anguish inside. He was now absolutely certain this woman was not human. She was probably the same kind of lifeform as those flaming creatures from before, just at a higher tier.
His data eyes showed no reaction, either. It was impossible that she was an exotic beast.
Zhang Che barely managed to receive the halberd swing. A hint of shock flashed in the woman’s eyes. She raised her halberd high up once more. This time, it was covered in a dense layer of golden scarlet flame light as she swung it down violently again.
“d.a.m.n it, don’t push too far!” Zhang Che roared furiously. He pulled himself out from the sandy ground, no longer daring to block her attack head on. Instead, he jumped forward, directly stabbing at the mysterious woman’s abdomen.
This sudden attack caught the woman unprepared. Her halberd missed its target, directly smas.h.i.+ng into the ground.
Facing Zhang Che’s quick stab, she seemed to have no way of dodging it.
Just as Zhang Che was feeling elated inside, thinking that he was finally going to injure the mysterious woman, her halberd suddenly snapped in the middle, parrying Zhang Che’s attack and throwing his arm to the side.
After parrying Zhang Che’s attack, the woman swept the half pole across, hitting Zhang Che and sending him flying a dozen meters away.
Zhang Che felt like his organs had nearly s.h.i.+fted position. A sweet taste welled up in his throat, and he nearly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
How pathetic! He actually couldn’t win against a woman!
Zhang Che was depressed. His melee combat skills was obviously far lower than the mysterious woman. He could only abandon his idea of fighting her in a melee.
Well, he’d really like to wrestle her, but she’d obviously be unwilling to…
“d.a.m.n it, you think having great strength is a big deal? I’ll show you who exactly has greater strength!” Zhang Che cursed. Afterwards, a rainbow light shot out from his brow. The Earthen Rock Demon’s ma.s.sive body suddenly descended, falling directly on the mysterious woman.
Although flames were burning fiercely in the surrounding area, they were unable to hurt the Earthen Rock Demon.
The fellow was an epic-quality beast, after all. How could it be hurt by elemental attacks of such degree?
The moment the Earthen Rock Demon appeared, the mysterious woman’s face suddenly sank. She quickly moved away, wanting to avoid its fall.
However, her movement suddenly paused for a moment, and she nearly fell to the ground.
The Earthen Rock Demon’s gravity field was no joke. It was pretty much the best False Domain when used in close combat, able to severely weaken its enemies, as well as slow them down greatly.
Dong! The Earthen Rock Demon’s ma.s.sive body landed, producing a loud, dull thump. The entire area shook.
Following the activation of the gravity field, the flames in a five hundred meters seemed to be suppressed. Their intensity suddenly fell by a large margin.
The mysterious woman’s complexion became unusually grave, staring at the Earthen Rock Demon.
She seemed to be unaware that the giant would collapse without needing her to do anything as long as she killed Zhang Che.
Zhang Che finally let out a breath in relief, mumbling to himself, “Heh, bullying me with your superior physique, huh? Now let’s see who’s physique is better! I don’t believe you can best the Earthen Rock Demon in a melee!”
