2024-02-05 15:15:38Ice-shaped Qi energy, resembling sharp snow lotus beads, thrown at high speed from Suma Chen's sword tip towards Duan Anming's chest turned hundreds of ice lotuses gliding towards Duan Anming.
"Go away...!"
Duan Anming shouted, and his body spun like a whirlwind, releasing dark and perverted spirits from the tip of his short sword. The spirits glared and opened their mouths, brutally swallowing all the lotus petals.
What a meaningless attack," Duan Anming mocked.
However, just as he finished speaking, the shadow of a sword beam approached his neck with the speed of a reaper. With a strange speed, the sword beam was suddenly in front of his eyes, delivering a deadly slash to his neck. This was accompanied by a gust of icy vapor that carried murderous air, leaving him asphyxiated.
Duan Anming released Qi and formed a dark shield to protect himself from the strange attack. He slid backwards, away from the mysterious attack.
"Insolent! This Snow Lotus Pure Heart Sword Technique is strange but dangerous. So fast and deadly," cursed Duan Anming inwardly.
"Now you try experiencing this Red Skull Claw Technique!" The intoxicating fishy scent of blood came out from both of Duan Anming's hands. He grasped a glove containing six short swords, which continuously emitted black smoke. His body disappeared in the thick smoke, zigzagging with speed, rivaling even the movements of Elves.
Suma Chen prepared to defend himself with a Defense Technique. The thin ice wall that formed the shape of a large Ice Lotus protected him. The intoxicating scent of blood claws made him dizzy. When he flowed Qi throughout his body to overcome the intoxicating scent, three short swords suddenly appeared in front of him. Each separated and headed for Suma Chen's head, chest, and Dantian. What a deadly technique.
Suma Chen did not panic; his right hand moved quickly to form the Ice Lotus Pure Heart Sword Technique defense technique. Two swords were extended to deal with the attacks towards the head and chest, while his left hand magically took out a sword sheath to block the attacks towards the Dantian.
TRANG!
Suma Chen successfully blocked three short sword attacks. However, Duan Anming did not stop. The 2nd, 3rd, and so on blows were aimed at deadly areas on Suma Chen's body. The Blood Skull Claw technique, an Earth rank blow, emphasized not only the intoxicating sword venom but also the ruthlessness and relentless attacks. These consecutive attacks gave the opponent little chance to breathe and prepare to retaliate.
On the other side, Duan Anming became increasingly brutal and unleashed ruthless techniques. His curiosity towards his Elven opponent made him even more curious. Although his sword techniques had slaughtered energy, his Qi energy remained clean. Suma Chen's dodging speed made Duan Anming's attacks miss or be blocked.
"Well... You pushed me to this point, Suma Chen. And it was only because of this single Ice Rose flower. Now, I won't play around anymore," Duan Anming sighed as he bit his finger until it bled. The blood dripped onto the object he picked up inside the spatial ring.
"Let's die together," Duan Anming said as he slammed the bloodied object down. From the ground emerged a giant skull, about 10 meters across. Despite its size, the skull moved quickly. The skull's Cultivation Realm was like Duan Anming, an Intermediate Great Realm Spirit.
''Kill him!'' ordered Duan Anming, pointing at Suma Chen. The demon and the skull attacked together. Duan Anming's rumbling voice and irregular cries accompanied their attacks, creating a tense atmosphere.
Suma Chen who originally seemed to be dominating, now felt the pressure. The Qi that came out from the skull punch created an effect that could shatter a hill, showing the power of a mid-level Great Spirit Realm. Cleverly, Suma Chen managed to avoid attacks towards his head which was always the target of skull punches.
On the other hand, Duan Anming, with the Red Skull Claw short sword series, picked out targets at deadly points on Suma Chen's chest. Suma Chen found it difficult to deal with the Great Spirit Realm Expert's attacks as if fighting against an expert at the peak of the Great Spirit Realm realm.
The battle between Suma Chen and Duan Anming lasted four hours. During that time they consumed pills and used talismans to repair and replenish their nearly depleted energy. This battle required high-grade pills and high-level talismans.
No signs of fatigue
Suma Chen completely pulled out all the stops, turning the surrounding battle area from rain puddles into thick snow. The night atmosphere full of mist and rain was now even colder. As a bonus, the Elves dropped ice lotus flower flakes that fell on the battle area.
Duan Anming, at that moment, looked like a beggar, clothes in tatters, blood dripping from all over his body from the broken Ice Lotus petals. His skull also appeared damaged, with cracks visible on the chest and skull.
Meanwhile, Suma Chen was in equally bad shape, with the skin on his face and wrists turning black from the poisonous fumes of Duan Anming's six short swords. Fortunately, the heavy rain helped Suma Chen as the ice energy in his body processed the rainwater into snowflakes.
As an Elven race, ice was the source of cultivation, and the ice essence helped Suma Chen stay awake and conscious even though the poison had entered his body.
Suddenly, Suma Chen infused Ice Lotus Qi energy into his sword at full power. Coldly, he said, "Break!"
Suma Chen's sword darted towards Duan Anming, forming a beautiful Lotus flower pattern with random and confusing movements. Suma Chen closed his eyes while chanting a sword incantation.
"Break! Quasi Sword Intent!" Duan Anming shouted with a cry of horror.
His opponent had quasi-stage sword intent, which had never happened in thousands of years. No living being, human, Elf, demon, or Dark Elf, understood the essence of sword intent.
Before him, Duan Anming fought against a sword master who understood quasi-stage sword intent. He would have become a corpse long ago if it was rank one sword intent. Duan Anming began to regret his decision to fight against this Elf.
There was a light sound as the Elf's sword cut through Duan Anming's head like a knife cutting through butter. Duan Anming's head was blown away while the sword moved beautifully back to its master, Suma Chen.
BANG!
The claws of the living skull briefly touched Suma Chen's chest before finally falling motionless as its controller, Duan Anming, was already dead. Suma Chen was thrown back while spewing blood. His face was pale.
In the distance, 100 meters further away, the two small children who witnessed the fierce battle were extremely shocked when a human head fell in front of them. Duan Anming's face looked dumbfounded, with a deep impression of regret.
Yi Zan was about to scream as loud as she could, but Yuan Fen quickly jumped towards her and covered the girl's mouth to prevent her from making a sound. They realized that even if they were seriously injured, the Elves in the distance could still kill them with a flick of a finger.
"Don't make a sound! Stt," Yuan Fen whispered very tensely. He tried to calm Yi Zan down. The girl tried to overcome her fear by looking outside the cave, but her panic grew stronger.
"Big brother, look towards the Elf over there..." Yi Zan trembled while whispering to Yuan Fen.
As Yuan Fen turned his gaze to the battle between Duan Anming and Suma Chen, he felt a creeping horror in his body. All of his hair stood up.
The elf stood with sharp eyes as if it could penetrate the cave and scrutinized Yuan Fen's insides. "That elf has known of our existence from the start; there's nothing we can do but..."
"Run!" shouted Yi Zan without hesitation; they crossed through the heavy rain and ran towards the road leading to the Cloud Sword sect.
The hearts of the two children were full of fear. They thought that this time, they would die in the Elf's hands. But there was no choice but to run as fast as they could!

Wangmo clearly remembered the words of one of the healers that night, when he woke up and found that his right leg had been amputated. The shock of that discovery still haunted his dreams, the moment of realization playing over and over in his mind.It was still early in the morning, the sun barely risen above the horizon. Not many people had left their homes to start their day, the streets mostly empty. Wangmo pulled his jacket closer to cover his neck, trying to ward off the chill that seemed to come from within rather than without.Lately, since Wangmo's leg was amputated, he had been getting sick very easily. When the wind blew strongly or when the air became cold, Wangmo often shivered uncontrollably, his body betraying him in ways it never had before. When Wangmo reported this to the female Healer who was taking care of him, the Healer said with professional reassurance."Be patient, young man. This is all a reaction to the amputation of your leg, your body adjusting to its new

That morning, the gray clouds that had covered the sky above Nip North City for weeks were blown away by the morning breeze. The sun shone brightly, warming the damp city and driving away the gloom that had settled over the streets like a funeral shroud. Golden light spilled across cobblestones still wet from morning dew, painting everything with the colors of hope renewed.Many people came out and gathered on the streets, their movements eager despite the early hour. Joyful faces were clearly visible on the faces of the city's residents as loud, cheerful voices echoed throughout the streets of Nip North City, bouncing off stone walls and wooden shutters. The sound of celebration filled every corner, driving back the silence that had reigned for too long."We won! Our soldiers have returned victorious!""Vellenor has won. The wizard Udristan has been defeated!" The cries rose like a prayer of thanksgiving to the heavens above.Meanwhile, among the growing crowd that swelled like a riv
Tokens and Farewells
The Enchanter heard their questions, his supernatural hearing catching every word. He understood their need for reassurance, for confirmation that this was real.With a smile that reached his tired eyes, Guo Jiang said with genuine warmth. "My friends from the Clan of Light Warriors, listen up! Eltonas Forest is a pine forest that has two spiritual energy sources, which are very useful for the growth of your magic cultivation and the strengthening of your qi meridians! I am sure that your Clan of Light Warriors will be happy in Eltonas Forest, finding peace and prosperity there!"In the end, the group of Elves and forest creatures expressed their joy in the way of their people. Those who had initially looked gloomy immediately began to sing and dance, their movements graceful as flowing water. They were so enthusiastic that some Elves slipped magical powers into their songs, making the very air shimmer with enchantment.The faint sounds containing magic could be heard everywhere, spre
Rite of Liberation
"Alright, as you wish," Guo Jiang then raised his hand toward the darkening sky. He tossed the papyrus scroll into the air where it hung suspended, defying gravity through magical force.Guo Jiang waved his hand while reciting the liberation spell in the ancient tongue of power. His voice carried across the field, reaching every Orc ear with crystal clarity."With this, I, Guo Jiang, as the Enchanter of Vellenor, a position holding authority over the ancient curse of the Orcs from thousands of years ago. I hereby release all these Orcs from the ancient curse that has bound them for thousands of years, chains forged by those long dead! I free them from the suffering they have endured in this mortal world." Guo Jiang paused for a moment, as the world seemed to come to a standstill, not even the sounds of crows or vultures could be heard.The very air held its breath, waiting for what would come next. Magic crackled invisibly, building like a storm about to break.Guo Jiang took a deep b
Promise on the Field of Hope.
Although the war had ended days ago, the scent of death still lingered on the surface of Field of Hope, the savannah that had witnessed unspeakable carnage. The smell clung to everything like an unwelcome guest, refusing to depart even as time marched forward. The ground itself seemed to remember the blood that had soaked into it, holding the memory in its soil.The vultures and crows, sated after feasting on thousands of fresh corpses, continued to fly across the sky, their cries echoing in the afternoon as the sun began to set in the west. The atmosphere at that moment was extremely eerie, heavy with the weight of so many departed souls. The cries of the wild birds in the sky, combined with the piles of thousands of corpses adorned with broken sharp weapons, sent a chill down the spine of anyone present, as if the dead themselves were watching from beyond.Meanwhile, amid the evening breeze carrying the stench of decay and dried blood, five thousand soldiers could be seen standing m
