Chapter 631: How am I Supposed to Comment on the Sudden Appearance of Your Sword?
While the Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard was hidden in the Stinky Swamp, even with the countering effects of the Burning Sunflower Twins, it was impossible for the Burning Sunflower Twins to make any significant impact on the Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard within three minutes.
Chu Ci’s hand trembled, and a gleaming longsword appeared in her hand.
When Chu Ci’s longsword appeared, Huo Zeyuan, who was excitedly commentating on the situation, faltered despite his plentiful experience in commentating.
How am I supposed to explain the sudden appearance of your sword? Don’t tell me that you’re going to charge and swing at the Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard or Chen Hongfeng!?
After the Smooth-Toothed Elephant Lizard had been removed, Huo Zeyuan did not change his prediction because it seemed inevitable that the Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard had a higher chance of winning.
As the commentator and host, Huo Zeyuan knew full well how important the amount of spiritual power a spirit qi professional possessed was in a fight.
When had Chu Ci stepped into the area, Huo Zeyuan sensed that she was a C-rank spirit qi professional.
Thus, judging from the situation, Huo Zeyuan was certain that the C-rank Chu Ci would not be able to last another five minutes.
Spirit qi professionals were allowed to use weapons in a fight.
The most prominent example was the Radiance Hundred Sequence’s Sequence #18, White Devil’s b.u.t.terfly-topped scepter.
The scepter with the b.u.t.terfly had never left the White Devil’s hand in any fight.
However, the Guild Alliance had regulations in place that stated that the weapons used in a match had to be made of spiritual ingredients that were much lower quality than the opponent’s feys.
Thus, weapons were virtually of no help in a fight between spirit qi professionals.
Moreover, defense weapons were a distraction and could affect the spirit qi professional’s ability to command their feys in battle.
Many people present had seen and even held the type of sword that Chu Ci had just brought out.
Every spirit qi professional partook in extracurricular activities when they were in school.
One of the activities was fencing.
The foil in Chu Ci’s hand was made of normal metal that was standard issue in any spirit qi academy.
When Chu Ci swung the foil, a shower of light erupted in its path.
It was like three plum flowers had suddenly bloomed, and it looked extremely charming.
Chu Ci shook the foil and turned to the emergency helper standing in the special area.
The emergency helper immediately became anxious when he caught Chu Ci’s look. He was afraid that Chu Ci was going to pull out another crazy trick!
Chu Ci turned her attention to Chen Hongfeng, who was protected by the Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard’s swamp, and her lips curled upwards.
She directed the little spiritual power left in her body into the Yellow Jadeite Golden b.u.t.terfly’s body to strengthen the Golden Jadeite s.h.i.+eld to its maximum strength.
She also instructed the Burning Sunflower Twins to attach themselves to her and create two layers of Heat Wave Conduction around her.
With a drop of spiritual power left, Chu Ci shrieked, “Yellow Jadeite Golden b.u.t.terfly, use Explosive s.h.i.+eld Counterattack!”
The Golden Jadeite s.h.i.+eld and two layers of Heat Wave Conduction started to disintegrate from the inside and exploded with an enormous amount of energy.
The energy h.o.m.ogenized and formed a silver ma.s.s of energy.
Chu Ci waved the foil and coated it with the silver energy. She then swung the sword and launched the silver energy with the power of the Explosive s.h.i.+eld Counterattack at Chen Hongfeng.
Chu Ci immediately injected the last drop of her spirit qi into one of the Burning Sunflower Twins and instructed it to form another layer of Heat Wave Conduction around her.
This layer of Heat Wave Conduction was meant to counter the Corrosive Mud Downpour.
Compared to the defensive ability of the Golden Jadeite s.h.i.+eld, Heat Wave Conduction was much weaker.
However, Heat Wave Conduction’s heat could evaporate the Corrosive Mud Downpour, which provided protection against it for a few seconds.
These few seconds were enough for victory to be secured.
The Explosive s.h.i.+eld Counterattack exploded all the s.h.i.+elds around Chu Ci and condensed all the attacking power that the s.h.i.+elds could sustain into a devastating attack.
When the Golden Jadeite s.h.i.+eld was complete, it could sustain the attack of a Gold III/Flawless fey.
Additionally, the added power from the terrifying heat of the two layers of Heat Wave Conduction allowed Chu Ci to launch an attack equal to the power of a Gold V/Flawless fey.
Chu Ci would have surely lost if the Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard had been disqualified instead of the Smooth-Toothed Elephant Lizard.
The Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard was a mutated fey that specialized in elemental attacks. Thus, it was not skilled at defense.
Chen Hongfeng’s Explosive s.h.i.+eld Counterattack was meant to prevent the Burning Sunflower Twins from being attacked, so it was aimed squarely at Chen Hongfeng.
Whether Chen Hongfeng would instruct the Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard to defend him, or if he received the attack on his own, Chu Ci was confident that she would be able to take out one target.
If Chen Hongfeng was the one injured, Chu Ci would win instantly.
If the Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard received the attack, Chen Hongfeng would not have any feys left. Thus, Chu Ci would win either way.
Chen Hongfeng, who was preparing to launch a final attack with the Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard, did not expect another surprising development to take place.
He watched as the large sword wrapped in silver energy closed in on him—there was no place for Chen Hongfeng to escape to!
He immediately ordered the Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard, “Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard, use Broken Tail Regrowth!”
Most of the flesh on the Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard grew on its tail.
The Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard’s tail twitched and detached from its body to defend Chen Hongfeng.
Chen Hongfeng was betting on this detached tail to receive all the damage.
Chen Hongfeng had already noticed that the wave of heat around Chu Ci would only be able to last for a few seconds under the Corrosive Mud Downpour.
At that moment, a Plum Rain Heart Wall appeared in front of Chen Hongfeng.
Three seconds later, another Plum Rain Heart Wall appeared on top of Chu Ci.
Chen Hongfeng saw that after the sword cut through the Huge-Tailed Swamp Lizard’s detached tail, it continued sailing into the Plum Rain Heart Wall with a bit of silver energy attached to it.
It let out a clear clanking sound.
After the middle-aged man conversed with Huo Zeyuan, Huo Zeyuan announced that the winner of this match was Chu Ci.
Ten seconds after Huo Zeyuan made his announcement, someone from the audience yelled out, “Watching this match almost gave me a heart attack!”
After this, other voices started to pour in like a tsunami.
“d.a.m.n! Princess Iron Bull is really strong!”
“How scary! It’s too scary! I can’t believe Princess Iron Bull is a junior-high-school student! How old is she really? Was she held back in junior high school?”
