Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 440 Retreat
The corpses in the tunnel were turned into powder in the constant fighting, and sticky blood began to flow under the feet of the two men.

Su Yue gritted her teeth, holding up the boy's hand and struggling to hold on.

Suddenly Yi Lei attacked the air. Su Yue subconsciously, almost instinctively dodged and barely blocked the attack with an extremely difficult posture.

Su Weiyu was stunned, her mind went blank.

Just now... was Su Yue protecting her?
Su Yue clearly couldn't feel her presence, but she actually protected her!

Su Weiyu's excitement could not be described in words. This feeling was like when parents heard their child call "Mommy" and "Daddy" for the first time. After many years, they finally had their first connection.

Although she didn't know what was going on, Su Weiyu firmly believed that Su Yue must have blocked the attack to protect her, otherwise she would have no reason to do so.

Yi Lei seemed to have sensed a weakness and launched a violent attack on Su Weiyu. Su Yue's defense was impeccable and she had no doubts or objections to her actions.

In Jiang Wengao's eyes, this was an extremely strange scene.

Many of Yi Lei's attacks lost their accuracy, but Su Yue took them head-on every time.

It's like a gun that is supposed to shoot at a target, but instead it fires towards the sky, and the target suddenly flies up into the sky for no apparent reason and takes the shot.

In the eyes of others, this is indescribably absurd and weird.

Even though the attack clearly had no chance of hitting him, he still had to move forward to block it with his sword. Is there some essence of fighting that he was not aware of?
The battle lasted longer and longer, and the chaotic cursed energy in Jiang Wengao's body slowly calmed down.

He felt that he could use [Abnormal Burning Fire] again.

The battle between Su Yue and Yi Lei gradually subsided from white-hot to white-hot. Su Yue's sword power was weakening, and the speed and strength of his sword were decreasing.

The same was true for Yi Lei. The phantoms of those wild beasts were no longer as ferocious, and both their speed and power showed a cliff-like decline.

Both sides are squeezing out their last bit of strength.

Jiang Wengao didn't know that Su Yue had actually reached her limit. Facts had proved that she was too optimistic before.

Even though the thoughts in her memory were very optimistic now, the cruel reality reminded her bluntly that not all difficulties can be overcome with a good attitude.

The sword skills in memory have been condensed to the limit, and the experience has been compressed to the point where it will be incomprehensible if it is compressed further.

She had even deleted those ways of death and the counts in her mind. She didn't know how many times she had died, nor how long she had been fighting.

In order to maintain the strongest combat power at the moment, there are only 5 seconds of memory left.

In other words, for her, the battle only lasted for five seconds. She only remembered the battle scene five seconds ago, and her memory storage for the remaining fifty-nine minutes and fifty-five seconds was all the sword-fighting experience accumulated from so many times.

The limit of her growth with this power is almost there, but Yi Lei seems to be stronger than her!
I will lose this time too!
This firm thought only lasted five seconds before being deleted.

The only thing that allowed her to judge the progress of the battle was the severe pain in her arm and the notch on the boy's blade.

Can't win...

But I won't give up.

Is this going to be an endless battle?
This question, which only lasted for five seconds, was meaningless to Su Yue. She didn't even hesitate because insisting on fighting did not bring her any unnecessary pain.

If Sisyphus always pushed the stone for the first time, he probably wouldn't be too pessimistic.

The moment Su Yue had this thought, she suddenly realized that she might not have another chance to do it again.

This intuition suddenly popped up in her mind for no reason.

She was sure that she couldn't get any stronger, and now she still couldn't defeat Yi Lei, so there wouldn't be a next time... This was the result of the battle. Her power told her so.

At this moment, Jiang Wengao suddenly climbed out of the blood, turned into a ball of fire, and attacked Yi Lei's back full of flaws!
Jiang Wengao’s idea was very simple. Now the combat effectiveness of Su Yue and Yi Lei had weakened to a very delicate critical point. With his ability, he could already serve as a weight to tip the scales.

Even if the weight is changed slightly, it can tip the scale towards one side!

If he helps out now, we should be able to win!

【Explosive Flame Shatter】!
This powerful move concentrates the heat of fire into one punch, instantly evaporating the moisture near the object it touches into gas. For living organisms, it is almost a sure kill!

And the moment Jiang Wengao made his move, the expressions of Yi Lei and Su Yue changed at the same time.

Su Yue felt that the Tongziqie in her hand suddenly became very awkward and unnatural to hold, and her mind became empty. The essence of an hour of battle condensed from hundreds of thousands of battles all became blurred.

Suddenly she didn't even know how to swing the knife!
Not only Su Yue, Su Weiyu also felt the same.

It seemed as if all the experiences just now were learned in a dream, but the things learned in the dream naturally became like bubbles after waking up.

She lost the skill to finely control her muscles for compensation and could no longer support her severely injured body, and fell heavily into a pool of blood.

Only Yi Lei was not affected. He just felt the change in the battle - this duel was no longer a one-on-one fight.

"boom!!"

Jiang Wengao's fist, which was emitting dazzling light, hit Yi Lei's back with all his strength. Bloody steam exploded from the contact point and spread like smoke.

A beam of flame was drawn out from the red smoke, fell beside Su Yue, and condensed into a human figure kneeling on one knee.

Jiang Wengao coughed up a mouthful of blood and said excitedly: "Sister Su, now is the time! I hit him!"

Su Yue looked at the Tongziqie in her hand, which was full of gaps, and said blankly: "I, I don't know how to fight."

"What?!" Jiang Wengao's eyes widened and he looked at Su Yue in horror.

He thrust a hand through the blood mist, pushing away the steam like a veil. Yi Lei, whose whole body was emitting steaming heat, stared at the three people with sharp eyes.

His lion-like eyes stared at Su Yue's eyes, then looked at Su Weiyu, and finally fell on Jiang Wengao.

For some reason, Yi Lei did not launch an attack, and the two sides seemed to have entered a balanced confrontation.

Jiang Wengao clenched his fists and his teeth chattered in fear.

Then, Yi Lei slowly backed away.

Jiang Wengao's head buzzed.

This guy wants to escape!

He moved his legs, subconsciously trying to catch up, but suddenly he realized it.

The opponent wants to run away, but he judges that he cannot win this battle. However, this judgment is not necessarily correct. Perhaps even now, he is still no match for this monster.

If you think in this way, maintaining the current state of deterrence will actually allow both him and Su Yue to survive.

Between killing the other party and saving their lives, Jiang Wengao chose the latter.

He squatted there, staring at Yi Lei as he slowly retreated into the darkness until he could no longer hear any sound.
