I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

In comparison, this one followed the path of suppressing power with speed. Although it did not succeed in suppressing power, it was enough to show how troublesome it was. Murong Haiyi almost failed to block one of its attacks and was nearly pierced through.

"We can fight another match..."

After assessing his own limits, Murong Haiyi identified a weaker opponent and charged forward with his sword.

Beneath the city wall, Tian Tian and Qin Di stood side by side, watching Murong Haiyi's unparalleled performance. Overwhelmed with emotion, Tian Tian exclaimed, "Is he a monster?"

It's understandable that her teacher, Yan Ziming, is so powerful with his elemental transformation ability, but what makes him continue fighting after killing five of them?

"Come on, you're a monster too! Who was it that just killed two in a row and then severely injured an S-rank?" Qin Di was amused by her.

"Me? That's because of Master Mo."

Every day, he looked up at the vast expanse of thunder and dark clouds in the sky.

"Ah, that guy got a six kills," Qin Di suddenly said.

On the other side, Murong Haiyi finished off his last opponent within ten moves, glanced at Yan Ziming's battlefield, and subconsciously let out a low sigh: "That monster..."

What the heck is that realm?

That power was so great that even S-rank beings would have to take a detour. Covering such a vast area and lasting for such a long time, the energy consumption must have been unimaginable!

At the same time, she also restrained three SS-level mutated species, and just killed one. I really don't know how she did it!

Although I also have a pentakill record now, one is a one-on-one fight and the other is a one-on-many fight, so there's no comparison.

Chapter 85 Heartache

After Murong Haiyi killed the sixth S-level mutated species, just like the previous times, a red aura emerged from the corpse he had slain.

Without a word, Murong Haiyi used the White Emperor Sword to absorb the red aura into the sword. He finally stopped fighting and returned to the city wall to rest.

Murong Haiyi glanced at Yan Ziming again and sighed deeply.

The White Tiger, known as the "God of War," bestowed upon Murong Haiyi an extraordinary ability.

—A blood-soaked frenzy.

Each time he kills an opponent, a special, inexplicable energy is generated after the opponent's death, which can replenish his vital energy. The amount of this energy varies depending on the strength of the opponent.

That's why he was able to kill five S-class mutated species without even breathing, becoming stronger with each kill, as if he was born for slaughter.

However, this is still limited. If he absorbs too much within a certain period of time, his rationality will be completely replaced by murderous intent, and he may do some bad things.

There is still a gap...

Fifteen minutes have passed since she transformed into her elemental form, and she has killed five SS-level mutated species. If he, like her, has a limit, she doesn't know how much longer he can last.

"Hey." Tian Tian greeted him.

Murong Haiyi looked at the person he had almost killed during his transformation with complicated emotions and asked:

"...She mentioned before that you were her disciple?"

"Yes."

"I saw your fight just now. Although it didn't last as long as hers, you—"

"No, no, I think you've misunderstood." Tian Tian waved her hand: "If I weren't injured, I could keep fighting."

"........"

Murong Haiyi was speechless.

"Is it because of that cloud?"

"Guess what? My injury is almost healed, bye-bye~~"

After saying that, Tian Tian jumped off the city wall and fought the mutated species again.

Her injuries were sustained during her first battle with an S-class mutated species, and they worsened in subsequent battles. Otherwise, she really could have continued fighting as she said.

The thunderstorm and dark clouds were not only helping Yan Ziming, but also for her and all lightning-type ability users.

..........

On the other side, Mo Sheng, Mu Mu, and Xue Yunling were also engaged in fierce combat.

The three of them merged the battlefield together, using their spatial abilities to move and coordinate with each other, and for a time they managed to keep the two SSS-level enemies from raising their heads.

This battlefield was enormous, far larger than the one at Yan Ziming's place. Three ninth-tier and two SSS-tier warriors fought fiercely, leaving the earth riddled with holes. It was comparable to the historic battle of Yongjing.

Boundless starlight fell like stardust, melting away into one massive crater after another. In addition, the starry sky was shimmering with purple, far-northern celestial light, occasionally unleashing beams of light that could slice away a piece of land within a radius of several miles. With the help of the huge icebergs surrounding the four sides, it appeared even more enchanting and magnificent.

The battle between these individuals took place more than ten kilometers behind the main battlefield. All powerful beings dared not approach this area and chose to detour, reaping countless mutated species and forming a buffer zone that alleviated the pressure on the front lines.

Xue Yunling exhaled a breath, which swelled into a massive avalanche that fell from the sky, temporarily burying the two SSS-class aircraft.

Her appearance amazed countless people.

I have never heard of such a powerful ninth-tier expert in China. His ice-type superpowers are incredibly versatile. In terms of individual strength, he may be the strongest among the three ninth-tier experts.

As long as one of them is able to make a move, the main battlefield will be basically safe, and the battle will end in the final victory of mankind.

However, the reality is not as rosy as people imagine.

It's worth noting that Xue Yunling and Mu Mu had fought against an SSS-level mutated species that appeared in Bei'an before they came here!

It is a well-known fact that mutated species are generally stronger than other mutated species of the same level. The mutated species that appeared in Bei'an City was almost as strong as the Void Realm. It took them a lot of effort to kill it, and Mu Mu was injured as a result.

Having just defeated a powerful enemy, they now had to rush to the Sheng'an battlefield to deal with another one, which was already a huge burden for them.

Unfortunately, these two SSS-class units are quite strong, both possessing combat power above average.

In summary, although they have one more member than the mutated species, the situation is still not very clear. They seem to have the advantage now, but any small mistake could tip the scales of victory back on track.

...........

The five-meter-long blue-purple wings of light fluttered in the wind as if weightless, highlighting Yan Ziming's sacred posture. She raised the Spear of Victory and threw it out in an instant.

boom--

The massive explosion, resembling an active volcano eruption, caused the ground to completely collapse. The SS-class creature that was hit lost a third of its massive body after the explosion subsided.

In this way, the scales of victory have completely tipped...

A certain string in her mind twitched, and Yan Ziming's brows furrowed slightly.

She had previously discussed the matter of the Thunder Spirit with Liu Mengxian, wanting to restrain the evolutionary process brought to her by the Thunder Spirit. She expressed that she did not want to give up her current physical body, but she also did not want to give up the powerful strength that the Thunder Spirit brought her.

So Liu Mengxian came up with a compromise idea—to suppress and delay this process, and see if anything could change when she broke through to the ninth level.

That's why she "painted" on Yan Ziming's body.

At that time, Liu Mengxian gave a number: as long as the elementalization time does not exceed fifteen minutes, the stripes she placed on Yan Ziming that resembled a seal will still be effective.

She is now past that time limit; elementalization is eroding her body, slowly but surely.

It's time for a replacement, but...

She glanced around out of the corner of her eye and realized that the others were too busy to break free, and those who could were not strong enough. Only she could hold off these two big guys.

Those who survive to the end are usually the strongest, let alone those who have endured Yan Ziming's killing spree until now; their strength is even more formidable.

If I leave, the pressure here will immediately increase dramatically, and the defenses might be breached in one fell swoop.

There's no other way but to first learn about elementalization and slowly fight them.

Yan Ziming had no choice but to deactivate her elemental transformation. Since there were only three left, she might not be able to kill them easily anymore and it would take a lot of effort. But as long as she could hold out until her team was free, everything would be fine.

"Then... let's see how long you can hold out."

The two sides faced off, waiting to see who would make the first move before delivering the final blow.

Battle... is about to break out.

............

In the endless void, a figure traversed through darkness deeper than night, finally catching a glimmer of light.

Upon seeing Yan Ziming, who was like a war god descending upon the world on the battlefield, Ye Qianxue instantly found a safe haven for her soul. She unloaded all her burdens, felt a sense of lightness, and reached out her hand to the person she deeply trusted, passing through space.

Yes, that person is incredibly brave; no matter what happens, they will protect themselves...

"Sister... Ah—!"

"Who?!"

Just as they were locked in a standoff, Yan Ziming, whose mind was at its most tense, suddenly felt something touch his shoulder. His movements, exceeding his thoughts, were instinctive; he turned and swept his spear of victory across the room! A gasp followed immediately.

Blood droplets flew from his arm into the air.

She was stunned.

Ye Qianxue was also stunned.

A very thin and fragile string snapped in her heart.

That was the heartstring she held onto with her last hope and will.

A shallow scar appeared on her arm, and a slight pain was transmitted to her brain via nerve signals.

The wound wasn't big... but why...?

"It hurts so much..." Ye Qianxue clutched the wound on her arm, crouched down on the ground, and cried out hysterically, "It hurts so much!!!"
