Gao Wu: If this BOSS isn't nerfed, is it even playable?

Chapter 117 Like a God of Slaughter!
Back to the battle.

Lin Ye's attack missed its mark.

But Ye Qingxuan's attacks were like maggots clinging to bones, relentlessly pursuing her.

She did not choose to maintain an absolutely safe distance.

The low-gravity environment of the Moon Palace battlefield granted all her hidden weapons greater speed, more terrifying destructive power, and...

More unpredictable and ever-changing movement techniques!
Lin Ye launched several more attacks in succession.

But Ye Qingxuan simply glided to the side like a willow catkin in the wind every time Lin Ye charged forward.

The posture was extremely elegant, as if they were not engaged in a life-or-death struggle, but rather dancing gracefully among the stars.

puff!
puff!
puff!
Several more black bird feathers left new wounds on Lin Ye's body.

Blood blossomed, a shocking sight.

Lin Ye clearly felt that the sluggish nerve reactions and weakened strength and speed in his body did not worsen due to the increase in wounds.

It seems that there is an upper limit to the effectiveness of these two toxins.

However, the poison damage that continuously depletes health points accumulates rapidly with each new wound.

His health bar was visibly dropping.

In Ye Qingxuan's live stream, millions of viewers were completely in a frenzy.

The barrage of comments created a torrent of information, almost flooding the entire screen.

"They'll crush you!"

"I was originally a fan of Qingxuan's looks, but I never expected her to be so beautiful when she's fighting!"

"That movement technique, that control of distance—it's simply an art of combat!"

"That guy on the other side is going to be kited to death. I feel like his strength and equipment are too far behind. They're not even in the same league."

"Isn't that obvious? It would be strange if Qingxuan lost to a newcomer who just entered the Rising Star Rank and is still in the placement matches!"

"It's over, there's no suspense anymore."

The battle seems to be unfolding exactly as everyone predicted.

However, at this moment.

On the battlefield, a scene suddenly unfolded that caught all the viewers in both live streams completely off guard.

Lin Ye launched another attack!

This time, he seemed even faster and more resolute, as if he had staked all his strength on this one shot!
The spear shot out like a dragon, tearing through the air, aiming straight for Ye Qingxuan's brow!

That deadly sharpness caused Ye Qingxuan's pupils to shrink slightly.

However, thanks to her familiarity with the low-gravity environment and her exquisite movements, she managed to dodge in advance.

The tip of the gun grazed her cheek, and the resulting gust of wind ruffled her hair.

However, Lin Ye's gunfire did not stop there.

Lin Ye seemed to have anticipated her prediction.

With a flick of his wrist, the thrust instantly turned into a sweeping motion, the bare shaft of the spear sweeping towards the spot where Ye Qingxuan had dodged!

This change of move was incredibly fast and ingenious!
It was about to strike Ye Qingxuan's slender waist.

But just as the gun barrel was about to hit him...

Lin Ye's movements froze for a moment.

The world before his eyes suddenly blurred.

Ye Qingxuan, who should have been struck by him, vanished like a pebble thrown into a lake, leaving only ripples.

phantom?

The thought flashed through Lin Ye's mind for a moment.

His attack missed.

The real Ye Qingxuan had already appeared several meters behind him, looking at him with a surprised expression.

In Dong Dongchen's live stream room.

Seeing this, Dong Dongchen not only didn't think Lin Ye was incompetent, but instead praised him.

“From the very beginning, Ye Qingxuan should have already been using her Illusionary Butterfly Eyes.”

"But Brother Goblin, after holding out for so long, this is the first time you've made a misjudgment!"

In his mind, Lin Ye should have been affected by that pervasive mental interference long ago, resulting in various misjudgments and hallucinations.

Despite being poisoned by neurotoxins and affected by Ye Qingxuan's Illusionary Butterfly Eyes for so long, he has only now made his first obvious mistake!

This can only mean one thing.

His life index and mental strength were both outrageously high!

The life index represents the strength of a martial artist's vitality.

People with strong vitality are naturally more resistant to various toxins and abnormal conditions and have a faster ability to adapt.

A strong mental force is the cornerstone for resisting all mental interference!

Not far away, Ye Qingxuan's beautiful eyes were also filled with amazement.

She knew better than anyone how terrifying her "Phantom Butterfly Eyes" were.

That's enough to make an opponent of the same level lose in less than a minute after the battle begins.

He began to make frequent mistakes, his judgments became skewed, and he was ultimately easily defeated by the terrifying ability of the Black Bird Feather.

But this opponent held out for more than ten minutes!
"I still underestimated you."

Ye Qingxuan's words carried a hint of genuine approval.

"You are indeed the strongest newcomer I have ever encountered so far."

"In that case..."

"Then I'll... use all my strength!"

The girl's eyes suddenly sharpened, and the pride that belonged to a top genius was no longer concealed.

The moment the words fell.

Lin Ye's pupils suddenly contracted.

He saw that the eighteen black bird feathers that were frantically attacking him had all mysteriously hovered in mid-air at the same moment!
The stillness lasted for less than 0.1 seconds.

The next moment, these deadly blades seemed to be commanded by a new will!

Their speed suddenly increased dramatically!

At the same time, the trajectory of the attack was no longer as unpredictable as before, though still traceable.

They have become extremely elusive and cunning!
Sometimes it would silently stab at you like a ghost from a blind spot.

At times, it transforms into a raging storm, launching a direct and powerful attack!
Lin Ye's defensive pressure instantly increased several times over!
Lin Ye sensed an unprecedentedly strong mental fluctuation emanating from Ye Qingxuan.

Lin Ye understood instantly.

Without a doubt, before this, the control of those eighteen Xuan Bird Feathers was most likely carried out by some kind of high-precision auxiliary program, or rather, by the combat AI.

And now!
The one who orchestrated all of this was Ye Qingxuan herself!
She was using those invisible magnetic lines of force and her powerful mental strength to personally command the attack of each Xuan Bird Feather!
This is not over yet!

Lin Ye saw that behind Ye Qingxuan, nine more Xuan Bird feathers floated into the air, transforming into nine purple streams of death light, joining the battle to encircle and annihilate him!

Twenty-seven black bird feathers!
They no longer fought independently, but were united as a whole under Ye Qingxuan's spiritual power.

A net formed by countless blades!
The sound of something cutting through the air was dense, like rain pattering on banana leaves, forming a continuous cascade!
The entire battlefield seemed to be shrouded in a miniature purple storm of death!

Lin Ye saw his health bar rapidly depleting at an alarming rate.

Even if each scratch only causes a dozen or twenty points of damage.

However, when the frequency of attacks reaches a certain limit, the quantitative change is enough to cause a qualitative change!

What's more, he was also poisoned at the moment.

The ever-increasing poison damage is deducting an extremely terrifying amount of health per second.

however……

Lin Ye's eyes, however, remained as calm as an abyss.

To be honest, all of this was within his calculations.

It could even be said that he did it on purpose.

Lin Ye's ultimate goal was to test how high his combat ability could reach after entering the P2 stage.

He needs a powerful enough opponent to drive him into a corner.

Ye Qingxuan perfectly fits this requirement.

In addition, he can activate his crystallization ability at any time if he wants.

This skill only needs to be activated.

With crystals covering his entire body, these deadly hidden weapons would absolutely be unable to break through his defenses.

In fact, he had already secured an invincible position.

He just didn't do that.

The ability to crystallize originated from the alien race of Tianyuan.

In this era where humans and the alien race of Tianyuan are sworn enemies, Lin Ye was unsure whether rashly revealing this ability would cause him enormous trouble.

Lin Ye was unaware that his opponent, Ye Qingxuan, possessed the acquired martial arts talent "Illusionary Butterfly Eyes," which originated from the Tianyuan alien race.

Learning from the barbarians' superior techniques to control them has never been a shameful thing.

The Great Xia Martial Arts Alliance's attitude towards this matter was far more open than Lin Ye had imagined.

Health points are dropping rapidly.

Finally, it was completely cleared.

Phase 2 is now activated!

The system prompts.

Lin Ye has officially entered the P2 stage.

On the other side of the battlefield, Ye Qingxuan keenly sensed something.

A sense of extreme danger, stemming from her combat instincts, instantly surged into her mind.

Just a moment ago.

Her intuition told her that her opponent was already "dead".

The feeling was incredibly real, as if the system had already displayed the victory results screen, and she had already won the battle.

Can……

The battle is not over.

The opponent is still standing there.

The next moment, Ye Qingxuan felt her heart skip a beat.

She sensed that something she couldn't imagine was awakening within her opponent.

An indescribable sense of terror slowly rose up.

She felt as if she had provoked a sleeping, primordial beast.

Lin Ye didn't say a word more.

He cherishes every opportunity to trigger P2 in actual combat.

This was the first time he had actually activated P2 in real combat.

[Berserk LV2]!
Without any hesitation, Lin Ye directly sacrificed more than 3,000 of his 10,000 health points in Phase 2!
In return, I received a 60% increase in all attributes!
At the same time, Lin Ye was pleasantly surprised to discover...

After the phase transition, a hidden mechanism that he had not anticipated was triggered.

Lin Ye felt that the negative effects that had been constantly harassing him, slowing his reaction, weakening his strength and speed, and causing him to lose health were all gone!

The system's debuffs panel confirms this!
Upon transition, all negative statuses are immediately cleared!
At the same time, under the buff of berserk power, all his attributes experienced another terrifying surge!
In addition, after the ten-odd minutes of battle in Phase 1, he had completely adapted to the low gravity environment on the lunar surface!
He is a completely different person now compared to just ten minutes ago!

boom! ! !
A dull thud!

The moon's surface beneath Lin Ye's feet was dented by the violent force, and spiderweb-like cracks spread outwards!

His figure left a dark afterimage in the spot before disappearing instantly!
Ye Qingxuan's pupils contracted to their maximum size in an instant!

The relaxed and carefree air about her was palpable.

That confidence and pride that belonged to top geniuses vanished at this moment!

Instead, there was unprecedented horror!
Ding! ! !
Almost at the same moment Lin Ye disappeared, a deafening metallic clang rang out behind Ye Qingxuan!
An irresistible and terrifying force came from her back!

She was as if she had been struck by an invisible giant hammer, and she flew forward uncontrollably!

This was at the critical moment, with over a dozen Xuan Bird feathers under her extreme mental control.

They retreated to their rear, forming layers of defense in front of the spear tip.

Otherwise, she would have already lost with that one blow!
Before the cold sweat could even trickle down.

Ye Qingxuan felt that the Xuan Bird Feather Blade, made of special materials and extremely tough, was as fragile as a piece of paper under the opponent's attack!
puff!
Each and every feather of the black bird was pierced through with overwhelming force!
Although they greatly cushioned the terrifying force of the blow.

But the cold gun barrel still pierced through the defenses, leaving a bloody hole in Ye Qingxuan's back.

A sharp pain shot through me!

Ye Qingxuan twisted her body forcefully in mid-air, trying to regain her balance. Her eyes couldn't even fully capture her opponent's movements!
How could this be…? !

How can this be? !
Why did his speed and strength suddenly increase to such an extent?
Could it be that his true trump card has only just been revealed?!

In Dong Dongchen's live stream room.

"?????"

"What the hell? Wasn't he being suppressed the whole time and about to collapse?"

"Why did they suddenly start fighting back?"

"I completely don't understand it anymore!"

"He's like a boss I used to encounter in video games, who suddenly transforms and kills me when I get down to a certain health level?"

In the battle scene.

Ye Qingxuan, who used to stroll leisurely and gracefully as if dancing under the moon.

At this moment, however, he was in an extremely disheveled state!

Lin Ye's figure transformed into a black lightning bolt that was impossible to detect with the naked eye.

A fierce and relentless attack was launched around Ye Qingxuan!
Ye Qingxuan used all her strength to retrieve all the Xuan Bird Feathers, surrounding them around her to form an impenetrable defensive circle.

But, it’s useless!

Lin Ye's attacks were devoid of any fancy techniques.

Yes, there is only pure, extreme speed and destructive power!

One force can defeat ten!

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
The crisp, crackling sounds were so numerous that they seemed to merge into a single, long blast!
One after another, the incredibly hard Xuan Bird feathers were knocked away or even shattered under Lin Ye's ferocious attacks!

Ye Qingxuan's defenses were completely torn apart in just a few seconds!
If we were to say that the previous battles...

She is a nimble mage, gracefully kiting a clumsy warrior.

Now, this warrior has transformed into a brutal assassin who completely outclasses the mage in every stat!
puff!
There was another soft sound.

Lin Ye's spear finally tore through all the defenses and pierced Ye Qingxuan's body once again.

This time, it was her left shoulder.

Lin Ye's offensive did not stop in the slightest.

The cold, icy spear shadow, like a venomous dragon, arrived in an instant and once again pierced her vital chest!

The shadow of death loomed over Ye Qingxuan's heart!

She knew she couldn't stop it.

A resolute glint flashed in those dreamy, rainbow-colored eyes!
She abandoned all futile defenses.

An extreme mental fluctuation suddenly erupted from between her brows, transforming into an invisible sharp cone that pierced fiercely into Lin Ye's mind!

This is her trump card for saving her life!
It was the strongest mental shock she unleashed at the cost of exhausting her mental strength!
This move is almost comparable to the mental storm that the Crystal Spirit Clan juvenile unleashed during its desperate outburst!

Ye Qingxuan believed that no martial artist of the same level could withstand this attack without any warning!
however……

She was facing Lin Ye.

The mental shock that was powerful enough to tear the soul apart vanished the moment it entered Lin Ye's mind.

Things are different now!

Lin Ye's mental strength is now far superior to that of his peers!

This level of mental fluctuation no longer poses a threat to him!
At the same time, the backlash from excessive mental exertion also began.

Ye Qingxuan let out a muffled groan, feeling as if her brain was being violently churned by a red-hot iron rod.

A glaring trail of blood slowly trickled down from the corner of her beautiful rainbow-colored right eye!
Even so...

Even at such a huge cost...

The opponent before us remains unmoved!
Those dark eyes held no emotion other than a chilling killing intent.

How could it be...!
A sense of terror, unlike anything she had ever felt before, welled up in Ye Qingxuan's heart.

She looked at the blood-soaked figure before her.

Like a demon god crawling out of hell!
Ye Qingxuan's mind went completely blank.

Ye Qingxuan's level is LV19.

Lin Ye's level is LV21.

With a two-level difference, Lin Ye's "crushing" mechanism was actually always in effect!
It's simply because Ye Qingxuan possesses extremely strong mental power.

The effects of this hierarchical suppression were largely negligible and could be largely offset.

But now, the situation has reversed.

Lin Ye's attributes increased dramatically during Phase 2, including his mental strength.

Ye Qingxuan's mental energy had been greatly depleted after that desperate mental attack, and was on the verge of exhaustion.

The psychological impact of the crushing mechanism is coming on like a tidal wave!
She was completely panicked.

Scared!

My mind also became unclear.

But in times of crisis, the instinct to survive takes over.

Ye Qingxuan gritted her teeth, a hint of madness flashing in her eyes!
The last embers of spiritual power were completely ignited!

"burst!"

The few remaining feathers of the black bird hovering in front of her suddenly burst open!

Blinding purple light and violent shockwaves, mixed with toxic smoke, spread instantly!
This was her last trump card and means of survival.

The feathers of the black bird can not only cut and injure people.

It can even self-destruct!

Ye Qingxuan herself used the enormous force of the explosion to retreat rapidly!

Keep your distance!

As long as we can create even the slightest distance, there might still be hope!
However, the idea had only just begun to form.

Ye Qingxuan felt a blur before her eyes.

She heard no sound.

There was no sound of air being cut, no footsteps, not even a wisp of air moving.

But then, out of nowhere, that figure that made her heart pound appeared behind her.

It was as if he had been standing there from the very beginning.

It was as if those four or five meters had never existed.

This……

What kind of movement technique is that?

It's not just Ye Qingxuan.

In Dong Dongchen's live stream, everyone was stunned, thanks to the God's-eye view.

No one saw how Lin Ye moved!

[Instantaneous Movement LV5]!
After reaching LV5, Lin Ye's teleportation distance increased dramatically from 3 meters to 5.5 meters!
The speed at which it moved was so fast that it was unbelievable!

That's what created this shocking scene that looks like instantaneous teleportation!

"Holy crap, what's going on? It's really open?"

"You have a teleportation cheat, huh!"

Dong Dongchen's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

This guy in front of me, called a goblin soldier...

It's not the Opening Meridian Realm.

Has he reached the Condensation Realm instead?

The third realm of martial arts cultivation: the Condensation of Qi Realm.

Upon entering this realm, the martial artist's blood and qi evolve, transforming into a higher level of energy: Primal Qi.

The evil spirits attached to the body can even stop bullets.

The external release of Qi and Sha can even injure enemies from a distance!

Even without considering these two fundamental breakthroughs, one can utilize the original Qi to infuse the hands or feet.

The resulting effect far surpasses the burst of Qi and blood at the Opening Meridian Realm.

Dong Dongchen had only ever seen Lin Ye's incredibly fast, almost teleporting-like movement technique before, in his own elders who were at the Qi Condensation Realm.

This speed is absolutely something that only a burst of power from a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator could produce!
puff! !

The audience's gasps hadn't even subsided yet.

Lin Ye flicked his wrist, and the tip of the spear suddenly shot upwards!
Ye Qingxuan was actually thrown into the air by a tremendous force!

A feeling of weightlessness came.

She spat out a mouthful of scalding hot blood.

His heart meridian was almost completely shattered by those two shots.

It was only because her life force was also incredibly high that she didn't die instantly from this attack.

But Ye Qingxuan was completely dumbfounded.

She had absolutely no idea what to do.

The defenses were torn apart.

Speed, crushed.

The mental attacks they were so proud of had no effect whatsoever.

All their trump cards, all their pride, became a joke in the face of absolute power.

The shadow of death, as tangible as a physical entity, completely engulfed her.

In her extreme fear, a sound she had never expected escaped her throat uncontrollably.

"no, do not want!"

The voice was very soft, with a slight tremor and pleading.

The next second, Ye Qingxuan felt a surge of heat rush to her head!

shame!
An overwhelming sense of shame instantly overwhelmed her!
How could I... how could I...

Begging for mercy from a virtual opponent?
Don't be fooled by her sunny, cheerful, and energetic demeanor in front of the camera.

But deep down, she possesses a pride that is hard for others to imagine.

Her mother had told her that female martial artists were inherently at a disadvantage in terms of strength and physique compared to male martial artists of the same level.

There's no point in trying to fight or grapple with male martial artists.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan devoted all her energy to cultivating her mental strength and mastering hidden weapons.

She has defeated countless self-proclaimed powerful martial artists.

It's unknown how many truly powerful martial artists he has been defeated by.

But she never admitted defeat, nor did she ever beg for mercy!
At this moment, however, she felt only shame and indignation.

Fortunately, Lin Ye didn't give her much time to continue savoring this shame and indignation.

Because Lin Ye didn't hear it at all.

Or rather, he simply doesn't care.

puff! ! !
The cold tip of the gun pierced her back with perfect accuracy, emerging from her chest!

The crimson tip of the spear looked incredibly desolate under the cold sunlight cast by the dome of the Moon Palace battlefield!

Lin Ye remained expressionless.

His eyes were cold and indifferent.

The impactful scene was broadcast to nearly a million viewers.

Everyone felt a chill run from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their heads, and shivered for no reason.

No one could have imagined that this battle would end this way!

Lin Ye's decline was evident, and he was immediately eliminated.

The explosion was earth-shattering; a single shot sent their goddess flying into the sky, all in less than ten seconds.

Lin Ye at this moment.

Like a god of death!
