Destiny Rekindled

Chapter 145: Time Stops Again! Killing the Giant Articuno with a Knife! (Additional chapter in April with 2250 monthly tickets)

"No problem." Yue Li nodded after hearing Qin Chuan's words, "Tomorrow..."

"No, let's try again today." Qin Chuan interrupted Yue Li and looked up at her.

Their eyes met. Yue Li was silent for a moment as she looked at Qin Chuan's firm and bright gaze. "On this dream day, my second and third talents are no longer usable."

"It doesn't matter." Qin Chuan quickly thought of a solution, "Xue Gao still has a heroic heart, I just need a chance to cut him."

"One knife is enough."

The boy's flying confidence seemed to reflect the dazzling light of a gem, causing the girl whose eyes were fixed on him to be dazed for a moment.

"Then..." Yue Li realized that she had lost her composure and quickly glanced to the side. After a moment, she pursed her lips slightly and asked, "What do you need me to do?"

Qin Chuan smiled.

"No rush, we can even look for treasure in the next three hours."

[Congratulations to the player for winning the first place in the Spirit Beast Ranking (Elite Level), experience gems +1]

【Congratulations…】

Looking at the lines of text appearing before his eyes, Qin Chuan swept the surrounding resources and returned to the foot of the snow mountain with Yue Li. His expression was slightly stunned.

He remembered that at this time yesterday, he was ranked second on the Spirit Beast List, and the first place was Erict, who defeated Matsuzaka Shiki in a one-on-three battle.

He didn't have any outstanding performance today, but he got first place?
Realizing a possibility, Qin Chuan immediately opened the Spirit Beast List.

The name of that lion is no longer on the list.

"Erict deleted his account so quickly?" Yue Li, who was standing next to him, reacted no slower than him and looked surprised after seeing this scene.

"Not necessarily. Maybe he left Area 3273?" Qin Chuan then glanced down at the other players on the list and shook his head slightly. "Matsusaka Shiki is no longer on the list."

"You mean, Erict might have left Area 3273 to avoid Matsuzaka Shiki's pursuit, and Matsuzaka Shiki also left to catch up with him?" Yue Li thought for a moment, "That's possible."

"No matter what, it's a good thing for us that they are not in Area 3273." Qin Chuan smiled, "We should also hurry up and kill Articuno and leave here."

"Hmm..." Yue Li nodded and glanced at Qin Chuan worriedly, "Are you sure?"

"Trust me." Qin Chuan responded with a firm look.

"Then I'll believe you this time." Yue Li pursed her lips.

She did not ask Qin Chuan where his confidence came from, just as she was unwilling to reveal her own real situation. Even close partners should have their own space.

As time passed, Qin Chuan began to arrange the battle plan in an orderly manner.

"Xiaohong's power is mutually exclusive with Shuihua and Xuegao, and can only be exerted to a small extent on the snowy mountain, so you don't have to participate in the next battle. Your task is to find a spirit beast to cushion Xuegao's attack."

"Squeak~" Xiaohong shook her tail and left.

"Xiaoqing and Shuihua are holding back the opponent, delaying time and giving Xuegao a chance to attack."

"Snow cream, be prepared for the final move."

The three beasts nodded in unison, clearly understanding the next course of action.

Qin Chuan glanced at the time, added one second of stop time, and waited quietly.

【07:59:45/08:00:01】【00:00:18】

"Let's go."

Qin Chuan, along with Yue Li and four spirit beasts, stepped into the border of the Articuno's territory.

"呷-"

A sharp cry echoed throughout the snowy mountain. The giant Articuno approached rapidly and then hovered above the heads of the two people and four beasts.

Its eyes were as indifferent as the last time it challenged, as if it had never seen the challenger in front of it.

And this is true.

According to the challenge rules, the last challenge ended and its memory of the challenge process was lost.

This means that Splash can use the blood control ability to surprise the opponent again, and Ice Cream can also make a crucial cut without the opponent knowing his ability. But this alone is not enough to win.

It also requires a little golden finger.

【Challenge starts】

After a ten-second "cutscene", with the appearance of a four-word prompt, Articuno swooped down instantly just like last time.

【07:59:55/08:00:01】【00:00:18】

What greeted the giant Articuno was a majestic bark from Splash.

"Woof!!!"

The giant Articuno's body suddenly stiffened, and it stopped when it raised its wings to flap. Its body, which was diving at high speed, instantly lost balance, and with no time to adjust, it rushed straight into the sudden tornado.

Xiaoqing took action.

The violent whirlwind carried the huge body of Articuno and spun rapidly, so fast that the outline of its body became blurred, and it spun dozens of times in a flash.

Even the great Articuno of the palace level was a little confused by such a combination of punches.

It took a full two seconds for it to recover from its dizziness, and it let out a terrifying roar, while its wings trembled violently.

The howling ice storm tore the tornado into pieces. The giant Articuno steadied its body and shook its head. Its sharp claws instantly grabbed the figure closest to it.

The claws grabbed nothing, leaving only a broken afterimage, and the big Articuno was stunned.

Doppelgänger?

The powerful energy fluctuations surging behind it made Articuno's heart tremble. It turned quickly, and was then instantly covered by a huge waterfall falling from the sky.

"boom!!!"

The strangling force of the sweeping waterfall suddenly broke out, and the huge pressure from all directions caused the body of Articuno to instantly burst into cold air, trying to condense the water into ice.

"Woof!!!"

Another barking sound was heard at this critical moment. Articuno felt the blood in his body freeze and his heart seemed to be clutched by an invisible hand.

That's it again!

Anger burst out from the giant Articuno's eyes, cold air burst out from its body, and the huge waterfall froze in an instant.

It was so focused on the battle in front of it that it didn't notice that in the corner, Xiaohong was holding down a desperate juvenile rock monster, and Ice Cream was about to give it the final blow.

The little rock monster dies and the heroic heart is triggered.

Ice cream rushed out with a knife.

【07:59:59/08:00:01】【00:00:18】

The giant Articuno that completely froze the rolling waterfall broke out of the ice, just in time to meet the ice cream that was already ready to go.

It let out a cry, and without thinking, it grabbed with its claws.

"Click——"

The sound of ice breaking rang out, and a thin layer of frost instantly covered the body of the giant Articuno.

【Frost】, takes effect!

After searching for Frost's trace, Ice Cream reappeared in another place, holding the Frost-Handed Horse Slasher high up, and chopped it down heavily with extremely fierce murderous intent!
【08:00:00/08:00:01】【00:00:18】

The coldness surging around the giant Articuno froze, its eyes solidified, and the extraordinary power of defense on its huge body instantly returned to zero due to the stagnation.

It used the power of ice to freeze everything, but now everything was frozen by the overwhelming force.

As everything around fell into absolute silence, the whole world seemed to be left with only the endless cold light of that knife, which cut the giant Articuno into two with unstoppable force.

【08:00:01/08:00:01】【00:00:19】
