Chapter 84 - Don't Underestimate the Bond Between Your Brother and Me
Meng Li's speed was too fast, so fast that before Ye Xiaoxiao could see her clearly, she had already rushed in front of her.
"Damn it!"
Ye Xiaoxiao's pupils contracted abruptly, her face showing shock.
She subconsciously blocked it with the pitch-black scythe in front of her chest!
Bang!
The greatsword, crackling with violent pitch-black lightning, smashed down with tremendous force!
The terrifying force directly sent Ye Xiaoxiao and her scythe flying!
The white bone throne even collapsed with a ‘bang’ in an instant.
"What terrifying power!"
Ye Xiaoxiao crashed into the ground with a ‘thud’.
Her back suffered heavy damage, causing her to spit out a large mouthful of blood.
Gritting her teeth, she staggered to her feet. Her hand gripping the pitch-black scythe was also trembling slightly.
While wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, she took the opportunity to swallow a bottle of Holy Spirit Potion.
Only then did the stinging pain from her back gradually ease.
Meng Li's strike just now was too overbearing. Besides her own physical power, she also carried terrifying lightning.
It shook Ye Xiaoxiao's hands until they were numb and trembling.
Gulp!
Meng Li swallowed another bottle of Holy Spirit Potion.
The pitch-black lightning around her body gradually faded, then intensified as her mana was restored!
She stomped heavily with one foot.
Her body turned into swift lightning again, charging violently towards Ye Xiaoxiao once more.
"Flash!"
Ye Xiaoxiao's pupils contracted, and her body suddenly disappeared from the spot.
Bang!
Meng Li, carrying pitch-black lightning, swung her greatsword and descended from the sky!
The earth cracked, rubble flew, and exploded!
The place where Ye Xiaoxiao disappeared instantly became a huge crater.
Vast lightning overflowed frantically, continuously exploding and sweeping around.
Meng Li missed her strike and immediately turned her body around.
Instantly locking onto Ye Xiaoxiao's position, she drew her sword and charged straight ahead!
"How can she be so fast!?"
Ye Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and retreated, holding her scythe and wanting to block the incoming strike.
But Meng Li had already appeared in front of her.
Thunder erupted, and the greatsword swept across, closing in on Ye Xiaoxiao's neck in an instant.
Snap!
The sound of shattering glass rang out abruptly.
A barrier instantly appeared around Ye Xiaoxiao, blocking this fatal strike.
But the terrifying force generated by Meng Li's violent lightning still sent Ye Xiaoxiao flying.
This was the first time the latter had triggered the damage immunity effect of the "Scourge Divine Radiance Staff" during a national competition.
"I don't believe this lightning ability of yours can be maintained forever!"
Ye Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, steadying herself as she pressed one hand firmly against the ground.
A large number of skeleton minions crawled out from the floor again.
At the same time, the skeleton minions also surrounded her from all directions.
They blocked in front of Ye Xiaoxiao one after another, protecting her in the very center.
Seeing Meng Li continuously swallow potions, she deduced that the consumption of this pitch-black lightning must be enormous.
As long as she restricted Meng Li’s large-area lethal skill, then she still had the advantage.
"Hmph, don't underestimate the bond between your brother and me!"
Meng Li downed another bottle of Holy Spirit Potion and said this fiercely yet cutely.
"This bastard!"
Hearing these words, Ye Xiaoxiao's lungs almost exploded with anger.
She wished she could bite this thieving cat to death.
In Ye Xiaoxiao's ears, these words sounded similar to the lethal phrase "I know your husband better than you do."
Whoosh!
The violent pitch-black lightning raged once more.
Meng Li directly made a big jump, her petite body leaping high into the air as she swung her greatsword and descended from the sky.
Like a dazzling meteor, she smashed straight into the densely packed skeleton army.
Boom!
The greatsword smashed into the ground, and the violent lightning swept the field frantically!
Countless skeleton minions around her turned into fine powder in an instant.
At this time, Meng Li looked like the Thunder God, every attack able to stir up bursts of wild lightning.
With the might of a single punch, thunder echoed out!
Instantly blasting over a large area.
Like turning on her Musou mode, she charged into the group of minions, frantically harvesting them like leeks.
"So terrifying, simply so terrifying! Is this really a contest between Level 20-somethings?"
"This Demi-human named Meng Li is simply unbelievably strong!
Especially the pitch-black lightning she erupts with, it's too overbearing!"
"Don't you guys find it strange? Counting this lightning skill, this Demi-human at Level 20-something…
…has already used 4 skills! This isn’t even counting that Super Armor ability of hers."
Whether it was inside the VIP room or the spectators outside the field…
Everyone was dumbfounded by the battle.
"Amitabha, this little monk admits defeat wholeheartedly."
Cheng Shi, in the losers' bracket, looked at the scene on the monitor and couldn't help but put his hands together and sigh helplessly.
If he had to face Meng Li in her current state, he definitely couldn't last ten moves against her.
Chu Tianhe stood aside with his brows tightly furrowed, not saying a word.
Although the proud man didn't say anything, his tightly clenched fists already reflected his mood c.
On top of the skyscraper soaring into the clouds…
Liu Muxiao, who was wearing a pure white dressing gown, sat on the sofa with a dignified air.
Although the pajama was loose, it still reflected the young girl's beautiful and graceful body curves.
Her two pairs of long, fair, tender, and beautiful legs were crossed, and her clear, ice-blue\yuh34[p-jzuxuiiomxxxxv6caq beautiful eyes blinked slightly.
Watching the live broadcast on TV, she comfortably took a sip of her scented tea.
"Sure enough... I didn't misjudge that person."
Her eyes narrowed slightly, her moist red lips curled up slightly, revealing a gratified smile.
The players’ strength could reflect their Agent’s strength.
Having two such heaven-defying players under his command, his own level definitely wouldn't be low.
Rumble!
Thunder resounded through the entire field!
Violent pitch-black lightning buffed Meng Li's body.
She rushed straight ahead, charging violently at Ye Xiaoxiao's front again, and smashed down fiercely with a punch.
Bang!
The sound of shattering glass rang out again.
The shield around Ye Xiaoxiao shattered, triggering the damage immunity effect again.
The terrifying force blasted Ye Xiaoxiao away once more.
"Still have the last bottle of potion left, but her damage immunity also has its last use left… It's enough!"
After swallowing the last bottle of Holy Spirit Potion…
Meng Li's calves exerted force abruptly, charging violently towards Ye Xiaoxiao one more time.
"Flash!"
Ye Xiaoxiao's figure disappeared, quickly pulling away.
"Fifth bottle of potion. Her mana should be almost depleted. I just need to hold on a little longer!"
She stared fixedly at Meng Li, calculating the latter's depleting mana.
Whoosh!
At this moment, Meng Li's figure instantly disappeared from Ye Xiaoxiao's line of sight.
"Oh no!"
Ye Xiaoxiao's pupils contracted abruptly.
Meng Li directly "Flashed" to Ye Xiaoxiao's front right, swinging her sword and smashing down fiercely!
"Too late to dodge."
Ye Xiaoxiao subconsciously turned around and raised her scythe to block in front of her chest.
However…
Meng Li plunged the greatsword into the ground and took the opportunity to grab Ye Xiaoxiao's pitch-black scythe.
Her freed right arm bent slightly, exerting force abruptly!
Bang!
A violent punch smashed straight into Ye Xiaoxiao's lower abdomen, triggering the last damage immunity.
The terrifying force directly smashed Ye Xiaoxiao and sent her flying away.
She even let go of her staff, which Meng Li conveniently threw aside.
Her body crashed into a stone pillar not far away with a ‘boom’.
"Although the damage immunity’s gone, she’s also almost out of oil, and the lamp is flickering!
At this distance... she can't make it over!"
Blood spilled from the corner of Ye Xiaoxiao's mouth as she staggered to her feet.
She looked at the gradually dimming violent lightning around Meng Li.
While wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, she manipulated countless skeleton minions to block in front of her.
Clearly, Meng Li's mana was already nearing depletion.
At that time, the scale of victory would tilt to her side.
Clack!
However, Meng Li suddenly pulled out the greatsword stuck in the ground.
She swung it around in a circle and directly threw it out.
Rumble!
The rapidly spinning greatsword carried violent lightning.
Like a swift cutting machine, it rushed and crashed straight ahead with irresistible force.
The skeleton minions wherever it passed were all cut into fine powder.
It howled wildly across the air towards Ye Xiaoxiao.
"It's over!"
Ye Xiaoxiao wanted to dodge, but the spinning giant sword was extremely fast and fierce!
There was simply no way for her to avoid it!
"I won."
The moment she threw the greatsword, Meng Li's mana was also instantly emptied.
She suddenly felt a burst of scorching heat and stinging pain in her lower abdomen, and a strong sense of fatigue surged from her heart.
Her gaze was fixed on the spinning greatsword.
As long as that strike landed, it could definitely render Ye Xiaoxiao incapable of combat
However...
The moment the greatsword was about to cut Ye Xiaoxiao in half at the waist, a cloud of blue light abruptly enveloped her entire body.
With a ‘clang’, it directly bounced the greatsword away.
This was the 20% probability damage immunity effect of Kaiyang Academy's cultivation method "Calming Mantra."
Looking at the blue light shield in front of her, Ye Xiaoxiao was stunned for a long while.
But she immediately reacted. After swallowing a bottle of Holy Spirit Potion…
She aimed her palm at Meng Li, her five fingers closing abruptly, and erupted with a shout.
"Sacrifice!"
Rumble!
The remaining fifty or so skeleton minions on the field all detonated!
Earth-shattering explosions resounded through the heavens and earth.
The arena collapsed, the earth trembled, and violent airflow swept across the entire field!
A dazzling mushroom cloud slowly rose!
——————————————————
T/N - Well, that went down to the wire. Ye Xiaoxiao won as expected, but I call BS. No way Meng Li could have lasted that long with a 50 mana/second skill constantly active. It just feels too intentional on the author’s part, making the fight closer than it should have been.
