The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

Taking advantage of the moment she was speaking, Chen Guan pulled his left hand out from his waist, spread his fingers, and slapped it towards Guan Jinyue's face.

Guan Jinyue turned her head away and loosened her grip on the hammer handle.

Taking advantage of the opening, Chen Guan took two steps back, gripped the hammer firmly again, and stood firmly on the deformed floor of the carriage.

The protective layer of the amulet operates on the body's surface, colorless and luminous, completely invisible to the naked eye.

"Your physical condition... is a bit strange."

Guan Jinyue frowned almost imperceptibly, his gaze sweeping over Chen Guan. The presence of the protective amulet was easier to detect in a fight of fists and feet than in a fight of weapons.

Chen Guan didn't give her time to confirm before he swung the fourth hammer.

He used his body's momentum to swing half a circle with the hammer's trajectory, and the hammerhead swept across from the side, much faster than the previous three blows.

Guan Jinyue raised his right hand slightly.

Chen Guan felt as if he had been shoved through thin air, and his whole body, along with the iron hammer, flew backward, his back hitting the remaining iron wall of the carriage with a dull thud.

The protective layer of the amulet lit up briefly upon impact, and the force of the impact was evenly distributed throughout the body. It hurt, but it didn't cause any serious injury.

It's clear that Guan Jinyue didn't go all out; this level of attack couldn't break through his defenses.

He coughed twice, his voice muffled, pretending that he had been pushed quite hard.

But he stood up very quickly.

Guan Jinyue watched him stand up again, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"After taking that blow, you can still stand?"

"I'm tough and resilient." Chen Guan switched the hammer to his other hand and stretched his shoulders a couple of times.

Guan Jinyue didn't speak, but her gaze lingered on Chen Guan for a longer period of time.

A third-tier summoner who took a hit from her should theoretically have at least two broken ribs.

But this person stood up, and stood very steadily. No, he wasn't a summoner; he was an enhancer, focusing on strengthening his own defense.

With her experience, she immediately saw through the protective aura's abilities and became wary. Sure enough, those who caught the eye of the Demon of Joy were all extraordinary.

Guan Jinyue looked into his eyes, the moonlight falling on the blade of her sword, and finally began to take it seriously.

The sword intent spread out in the night, like a transparent veil covering the entire carriage, silent yet causing the air temperature to drop several degrees.

Guan Jinyue, now taking things seriously, is a completely different person from before. She is no longer the carefree girl, but has transformed into a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, gleaming coldly.

"Thick-skinned?" Guan Jinyue repeated the sentence lightly, her figure swaying slightly, and in the next moment, her figure disappeared from the spot.

Chen Guan felt a blur before his eyes, and a sharp gust of wind rushed towards him.

Almost instinctively, he held the hammer horizontally in front of his chest in a defensive stance; however, Guan Jinyue's speed far exceeded his expectations.

He didn't even have time to look up; he only saw a silver line fall like a shooting star.

"Clang!"

The hammer and the sword blade clashed violently, producing a deafening metallic clang and sparks flying everywhere.

Chen Guan felt a numbness in his hands, and a tremendous force came from the iron hammer. He involuntarily shrunk halfway down, and his feet plowed two deep furrows in the ground, sending cement and gravel flying everywhere.

The impact of this blow far exceeded any of the previous ones, making him feel as if he had been hit head-on by a speeding truck.

The protective light of the amulet flickered wildly on his body, each flicker accompanied by a faint buzzing sound, as if he were enduring extreme pressure.

Guan Jinyue's attack failed, but it was not surprising at all. Her sword moves were smooth and flowing. After the attack, the tip of the sword was retracted smoothly, bringing with it a silver arc of light. The blade drew a perfect semicircle in the air.

Immediately afterwards, using the reaction force, she deftly flipped her body in mid-air, the tip of her sword pointing directly at Chen Guan's neck.

This move changes extremely quickly, transforming from a powerful downward slash into a vicious, deadly strike that locks the throat with a flat cut.

Chen Guan suddenly tilted his head back, the sword blade almost grazing his chin. After dodging the attack, he didn't have time to retract the iron hammer in his hand, so he could only push forward in an attempt to force Guan Jinyue back.

However, the moment Guan Jinyue's sword tip touched the hammer, it did not meet it head-on. Instead, it cleverly slid across the surface of the hammer and, taking advantage of the hard curve of the hammerhead, her sword blade rose up along the hammerhead as if it were alive. With a turn of the blade, it stabbed straight at Chen Guan's wrist, which was holding the hammer.

The series of movements was as fast as lightning. Before Chen Guan could even fully react, the icy touch had already reached his wrist.

He loosened his grip on the hammer with his right hand, and instead of retreating, he advanced, throwing a powerful punch with his left hand, accompanied by a whistling wind, aimed at Guan Jinyue's cheek.

At the same time, his right hand, which had been released, flashed and gripped the end of the hammer handle, causing the hammer to spin in the air and, like a snake emerging from its hole, sweep towards Guan Jinyue's side at a tricky angle.

This sudden change of tactics was quite unexpected. Chen Guan's fighting style was characterized by a fearless and savage nature, completely defying conventional rules.

Guan Jinyue's eyes narrowed slightly. She hadn't expected this "thick-skinned" guy to react so quickly, and even dare to exchange damage with her at close range.

Facing Chen Guan's attack from both sides, she did not move, but the sword in her hand instantly turned into a streak of light, first blocking Chen Guan's powerful punch. The sword collided with the fist, producing a dull sound of flesh striking flesh.

Then, the sword followed closely, blocking the fist while its tip sharply pointed downwards, accurately striking the edge of the spinning hammer.

"Buzz!"

Another short, sharp hum rang out as the sword tip collided with the iron hammer, precisely deflecting the attack.

Guan Jinyue's movements did not pause at all. While repelling the double attack, the sword in her hand flicked its tongue like a venomous snake, and the tip of the sword turned and stabbed towards Chen Guan's throat with lightning speed.

This sword strike was fast, accurate, and ruthless, directly targeting vital points.

Chen Guan felt a bone-chilling coldness on his neck; he had no time to dodge, nor could he dodge it.

At the critical moment of life and death, he unleashed the power of the protective amulet to its fullest extent.

The protective layer on his body instantly became brighter, almost solidifying.

The sword tip struck the protective layer with a hissing sound, as if a sharp weapon had pierced through tough leather. The protective layer rippled violently, radiating light, as if it were about to shatter at any moment.

However, it ultimately withstood the sword strike. The powerful impact penetrated the protective layer, causing a sweet taste to rise in Chen Guan's throat.

Guan Jinyue's sword tip was blocked, but he felt no frustration.

Her gaze sharpened further as she looked at the glowing coffin before her and discerned the secret of the protective barrier: only by breaking its power limit could the coffin be truly harmed.
