Qin Sha's gaze was intense, and as the moment of breakthrough approached, an indescribable excitement surged within him. He had been stuck at the First-Stage Martial Artist level for a full three years, and unexpectedly, heaven had opened its eyes, allowing him to achieve his breakthrough at this moment.
"Ye Tian, right? Hahaha, don't worry, you are a great contributor to my breakthrough. After you die, I will take good care of those two little girls."
With that, Qin Sha laughed heartily, looking even happier than when his father broke through to the Martial Unity Definition.
The Black Butcher and the Shadow remained fixated on the White Light Sphere, fearing that Ye Tian might break free and cause harm. After all, this kid was no ordinary person; his formidable strength had already been proven in their previous encounters.
Qin Sha's breakthrough process was quite smooth. He felt waves of restless power surging through his limbs and bones. Although this power was chaotic, it made him feel exceptionally comfortable.
His complexion slightly flushed as he enjoyed the ever-increasing strength within him. The sensation was so vivid and intoxicating that it was even more pleasurable than his favorite indulgence.
While Qin Sha was reveling in his experience, Cold Moon and the others were growing impatient. Although only half a tea time had passed, it felt to them as if a hundred years had gone by.
They were anxious to know whether Ye Tian was alive or dead; at least they wanted to see him if he was alive or see his body if he was dead.
Yun'er was particularly worried and rushed out, but the Qin Family Guards were currently filled with overwhelming momentum. Each one bravely charged forward without fear of death, and their numerical advantage became apparent in an instant.
The saying "many hands make light work" applied here. At least it seemed that way.
In reality, however, things were not as they appeared. The instinct for self-preservation is inherent in humans, especially among this group of sycophants yearning for wealth and status.
They raised their Steel Blades and barely managed to unleash Blade Qi to block Yun'er's advance. Their strength as Warriors was quite limited; the Blade Qi they initially formed lacked significant power. However, with nearly a thousand people acting simultaneously, their combined force should not be underestimated.
As they gathered their strength, hundreds of Blade Qi formed an expansive Blade Net. While it might not be enough to kill Yun'er, it would certainly suffice to impede her progress.
"Let's go together!"
Duan Liu shouted as he and Wine Kid were somewhat isolated from the others, still caught up in the chaos of battle.
He struck down an attacker and attempted to pull Wine Kid away from the fray. Although there were over twenty cautious individuals surrounding them, it would still take some time to clear them out.
Taking advantage of a brief moment, he glanced over and saw that Blade Net had already gained momentum, like dark clouds pressing down on a city. Yun'er and Cold Moon were unable to stop it, so support was urgently needed.
Thinking this, Duan Liu grabbed Wine Kid's hand, who was still rampaging through the fight. However, with a single tug, the kid slipped away like an eel and rolled back into the melee to continue his killing spree.
Duan Liu was taken aback; why was Wine Kid so frenzied today? With no other choice, he decided to leave Wine Kid behind and head for support. After all, with Wine Kid's strength and protective armor, dealing with those twenty or so weaklings shouldn't be a problem.
The two were about a hundred feet apart, but by the time Duan Liu arrived, both sides had already engaged in combat. The sounds of clashing metal rang out incessantly. Cold Moon activated the Azure Moon Autumn Light Sword to protect her master, causing her sword to spin rapidly and form a circular Light Barrier in front of them.
Cold Moon took on the defensive role while Yun'er focused on offense. Within the Light Barrier, Yun'er frequently struck with her sword; under the brilliance of her attacks, even the Light Barrier seemed dimmed. Several Qi Blades shot out and struck the Blade Qi net, creating a breach.
Seeing this scene calmed Duan Liu's mind slightly. Although the Qin Family Guard had numbers on their side, their overall strength was too weak. Even if they regained order, they were ultimately just a disorganized mob. Blade Net might have an impressive presence, but it was merely a flashy display without substance.
However, even a flashy display has its power; breaking one chopstick is easy, but snapping ten is not so simple.
Duan Liu had previously cut down over two hundred opponents and was now exhausted after the recent fierce battle. He had become just as much of a flashy display as the Qin Family Guard...
"Void Fire!"
With a loud shout, two clusters of dark flames ignited in his palms. The flames grew stronger and within a breath reached the thickness of his arm. Then Duan Liu brought his palms together; the two clusters of void flames merged into one, instantly increasing in intensity.
A massive fire pillar, thick enough for one person to embrace, erupted from his hands and swept forward with overwhelming force.
This is Duan Liu's final strike; after this move, he will likely only have enough strength left to protect himself.
The power of the Void Fire needs no further explanation. The flames spread, turning the area within ten zhang of the Square Area into scorched earth in an instant. Yun'er, quick-witted, realized that this was a crucial moment. As long as she could break through the Blade Net and allow the Void Fire to penetrate the enemy's formation, its destructive power would be extraordinary.
With a delicate shout, the Qi Blade on the Treasure Light Sword Hilt suddenly surged two feet in length. But that was not all; with a hissing sound, an illusory Qi Blade regenerated around the outer edge, growing another ten feet!
The ten-foot-long Qi Blade whistled through the air, slashing forward with a deafening crash as it tore a massive gap in the Blade Net.
"Duan Liu!"
Yun'er called out to Duan Liu, who understood her intent and exerted all his strength to urge the Void Fire forward. Stimulated, the fire column surged toward the Blade Net.
At that moment, Black Butcher was watching intently. Seeing this, his brow furrowed. Although he had not personally experienced it, he could tell from watching that the Void Fire was powerful. If it were to burn into their formation, many of his brothers would likely be turned to ashes in an instant.
Of course, his concerns extended beyond just the lives of these "brothers." The situation was precarious; if Duan Liu unleashed a great fire, these cowardly individuals would surely become even more fearful.
"How dare you flaunt such petty skills!"
Black Butcher roared, his muscles swelling instantly as his black robe burst apart. Moreover, his face increasingly resembled that of a fierce tiger.
"Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique!"
Yun'er felt a sinking sensation in her heart. Due to frequent use recently, she could not activate her Nine Nether Ice Phoenix Power at this moment. Meanwhile, Duan Liu was at his limit. Although Cold Moon was strong, relying on her alone to deal with this fierce tiger and the lurking shadow in the distance seemed hopeless.
Furthermore, the Qin Family still had seven or eight hundred Loyal Minions. While they might not play a decisive role, they remained a force not to be underestimated.
At this moment, Yun'er finally understood Ye Tian's earnest intention of capturing the leader to subdue the followers. As long as there was a leader present, this group would never scatter like Birds and Beasts.
The tactic of overwhelming numbers was indeed effective; from a thousand people down to seven or eight hundred, they had only lost two layers, but their side was already showing signs of exhaustion.
It turned out that Qin Changlin, this old scoundrel, sent this group of good-for-nothings over for this purpose! Using the lives of his subordinates to exchange for his own strength was simply a reckless gamble with lives!
Zzzz!
Just as Yun'er was lost in thought, a sharp sound suddenly echoed from the sky, resembling the sound of a blade slicing through metal, piercing and jarring.
Looking up, she saw that the Black Butcher had transformed into a humanoid tiger over ten feet tall, continuously swinging its massive claws and striking fiercely at the gaps in the Blade Net.
The fire pillar was already a desperate strike from Duan Liu; while it had enough momentum, its power was weak. After several attempts by the Black Butcher, it was nearly extinguished.
However, Void Fire was not an ordinary flame. Although the Black Butcher blocked and extinguished the Fire Tongue Grass that had slipped through the gaps in the Blade Net, its chest was already charred black.
The air was filled with a burnt smell as the Black Butcher revealed its true beast form, becoming incredibly irritable. With its chest burned to a crisp, how could it not be enraged?
"Awoo!"
The roar shook the forest, causing leaves to tremble. As the king of beasts, this aura of dominance was truly astonishing.
"Golden Pattern?" Yun'er thought to herself. She noticed that on the massive body of the half-human half-beast Black Butcher were numerous fine golden patterns, which were characteristic of Earth-Level One Beast Golden Pattern.
Golden Pattern is a type of tiger-like beast known for its violent and reckless nature. Although it lacks intelligence, its brute strength is astounding. If purely considering strength, an adult Golden Pattern could likely rival a powerful beast around Earth Level Five!
Moreover, its claws were incredibly sharp; even the hardest black steel in the world could not withstand a single swipe from it.
At this moment, the Black Butcher seemed to be in a rage. Each step it took caused the ground to tremble slightly, and its blood-red eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty light, while its claw-like hands glimmered with a terrifying coldness.
"Roar!"
Another angry roar echoed, and the slow advance of the Blade Net seemed to infuriate the Black Butcher. After a disdainful snort, it suddenly swung its massive claws towards the Blade Net.
A harsh, hissing sound rang out again as the Black Butcher tore a huge gap in the Blade Net with a single strike. It then strode forward, heading straight for Duan Liu.
Due to the Black Butcher's nearly ten-foot size and its passage through the Blade Net, it was inevitably struck by several waves of Blade Qi. However, it seemed to have an incredibly tough hide; the Blade Qi hit its body without causing any pain or discomfort, not even causing it to furrow its brow.
Yun'er furrowed her brow even tighter. The shadow had yet to reveal its true strength, and the current situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for their side.
"Ye Tian..."
She couldn't help but softly call out his name. Ye Tian would never just die like this, but what had actually happened to him...
At this moment, the Black Butcher had already crossed the Blade Net and was steadily closing in. Duan Liu was eager to kill, and at his peak, he should have been able to contend with the Black Butcher. But now, he found himself powerless; no matter how he urged it, the Void Fire showed no signs of responding.
Just then, a triumphant burst of laughter came from behind the white light. Qin Sha appeared radiant, surrounded by a faint layer of white mist—he had successfully broken through!
With Cold Moon's strength, he should be able to hold off those seven or eight hundred cowardly individuals for a while. However, facing the Black Butcher and the shadow alongside Duan Liu would be exceedingly difficult.
In ordinary circumstances, a Second-Stage Martial Artist would not even catch Yun'er's attention. Yet Qin Sha's timely breakthrough could very well become the last straw that broke the camel's back...
