Gamers Are Fierce-Chapter 808 - 806: Ju Que

Li Ang gripped the front part of the long spear's shaft with his right hand, firmly locking the double-handed sword's blade, preventing Ju Que from withdrawing the sword. His left hand turned from a fist to a palm, like an eagle claw, striking toward Ju Que's right shoulder.

A flock of birds screeched down from the sky, covering nearly half the rooftop.

These finger-length spikes, some coated with deadly poison, some hiding parasitic eggs, some concealing toxic gas, and some with built-in explosives, might not harm Li Ang, who was wearing the Mirage Dragon Red Mane Coat, but they could potentially penetrate Ju Que's armor,

relying on their numbers to cause multiple injuries.

Facing this suffocating and impenetrable assault, a hint of determination flashed in Ju Que's eyes.

Buzz—

The heavy and unadorned sword blade inexplicably trembled. The blade's edges first glowed faintly, like a candle flickering in the wind.

Soon after, the sword radiance blazed brilliantly.

[Name: Ju Que·Xuan Iron]

[Type: Weapon]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Attack Power: High]

[Special Effect: No Edge. Generates extremely sharp Sword Qi along the blade edges. The shape and length of the Sword Qi depend on the total amount of Sword Qi invested]

[Consumption: Consumes at least 20 Spirit Energy Value and Stamina Point per second]

[Cooldown Time: 5 minutes]

[Equipment Requirement: Basic swordsmanship skill must reach advanced level, strength must be greater than or equal to 12 points]

[Note: Penetrates copper cauldron, cuts iron grindstone to pieces the size of artemisia, hence named Ju Que]

Ju Que's sword body was already broad and thick like a door panel, now extending out Sword Qi, resembling a city wall standing between Li Ang and Ju Que.

Buzz!

The edges of the Sword Qi flickered like pale flames, silently eroding the concrete ground they touched, dissolving it into nothingness.

The moment Li Ang saw the sword light bursting, he retracted the Tyrant Halberd and the left palm he thrust out, yet his action was still half a second late—

The Sword Qi grazed Li Ang's left forearm, causing the left sleeve of his white coat to explode open, and the entire left arm sprang back with a "bang".

The Mirage Dragon Red Mane Coat remained intact, but the skin, muscles, blood vessels, and bones of the forearm beneath were all shattered, leaving the dangling arm only held by some remaining skin and the Red Mane Coat.

[Critical Hit!]

[Critical Hit!]

The two System prompt sounds almost rang out without a pause, with one blue and one red line of text appearing silently in the sky.

The suddenly surged Sword Qi also scorched Ju Que himself—he originally held the sword handle in his right hand, sword tip downwards, with his right forearm parallel to his forehead.

To block the palm attack from Li Ang, the Sword Qi radiated from the sword's body to both sides, the blazing sword light covering the right arm.

[Ju Que·Xuan Iron] had no friend-or-foe recognition function, its Sword Qi could even break through Li Ang's Mirage Dragon Red Mane Coat, let alone Ju Que's armor.

Shhh—

A sound like fabric being violently ripped echoed, Ju Que's right arm broke off at the shoulder, spinning and flipping in the air, not yet hitting the ground before being hit by the relentless Sword Qi blaze.

By the time it fell back to the ground, it had already become riddled with holes, resembling minced meat.

Blood gushed from the cross-section of the bony stump,

the intense pain struck the brain directly,

ringing in the ears, vision turning black,

Ju Que gritted his teeth, channeling the pain into anger, advancing instead of retreating,

his left hand reversed its grip on the falling sword handle, reactivating the pale Sword Qi, sweeping upward from below!

With the large input of Spiritual Power, the already roaring, fierce Sword Qi surged once more,

Boom!

The concrete ground split open without any hindrance.

Debris splattered, and the cold moonlight shone through the cracks into the building's interior, illuminating the steel bars buried in the concrete and the large office floors underneath the rooftop.

Li Ang activated [Cloud Ascending Ladder], stomping his right foot heavily on an invisible step, shifting his body to evade the upward slash.

The various spikes shooting from high in the sky, upon simply touching the Sword Qi, were obliterated into dust, unable to release their attacking methods.

Slash again!

Ju Que grasped the heavy sword single-handedly, taking advantage of the upward sweep, flipping the sword and slashing diagonally downward to the left,

the blazing Sword Qi pursued Li Ang like an attached affliction, closely following and chasing him.

The coverage of the Sword Qi was so expansive that just casually sweeping could cover nearly half the rooftop.

[Phase Boots] were already on cooldown, unable to provide acceleration, so...

Li Ang's gaze focused, tapping the ground diagonally with the Tyrant Halberd, flashing to Ju Que's right side along with the spear.

The modified body, coupled with the abilities of the Origin of Life, allowed the broken left hand to heal quickly.

Nerves reconnected, muscles rejoined, bones reshaped.

Though the fracture site on the hand still experienced a ring of stinging pain (as Ju Que's Sword Qi clung on, continuously hindering self-recovery), the barely restored left hand could still raise its index finger.

[Fingers Dissociation Technique]

A harsh green beam shot out rapidly along Li Ang's index finger, directly targeting Ju Que's right shoulder stump.

There was no need to think to know that this green beam was Li Ang's hidden killer move, revealed at this moment.

Confronted with the disintegration beam, Ju Que neither dodged nor evaded, instead turning his left wrist upwards, pointing the sword edge at Li Ang, even intending to exchange injury for injury, attacking the opponent with Sword Qi whilst taking the hit from the technique.

The blazing Sword Qi roared in, Li Ang, leaping into the air, used [Fragment Scatter] skill to create repulsive force beneath his feet, pushing his body to linger in the air a little longer, adjusting his legs' position,

stepping on the invisible step formed by Cloud Ascending Ladder, narrowly dodging the sharp Sword Qi, the long spear in his hand thrust like a snake towards Ju Que's neck.

This strike was swift and fierce, if Ju Que's right arm were intact, he could have held the spear shaft with his right hand to stop the attack.

But now with the right arm broken, the remaining effects of the emergency healing potion were nullified by the non-discriminatory Ju Que Sword Qi, unable to stop the bleeding right arm.

[Instant Step]!

Ju Que kicked off from the ground with both feet, his figure dragging a shadow, dodging the Tyrant Halberd whilst quietly flashing to beneath Li Ang.

The heavy sword in his hand, still carried by inertia, smoothly cut towards Li Ang's position aloft.

The battle situation shifted rapidly, with advantages and disadvantages constantly reversing,

Tyrant Halberd already thrusted, unable to defend in time, and both the Fragment Scatter technique and the Fingers Dissociation Technique were on cooldown.

Cloud Ascending Ladder was activated once more, forming invisible steps beneath Li Ang's feet, who repeatedly kicked off them in mid-air, like a stunt car, rotating one hundred and eighty degrees, narrowly dodging the heavy sword's diagonal slash.

Ending the space walk, Li Ang canceled Cloud Ascending Ladder, his body crashing down, turning the long spear from thrust to slash, heavily cleaving into Ju Que's shoulder, tearing a profound wound from left shoulder to right waist.

Meanwhile, the sky-bound flock also adjusted their tail directions, releasing another salvo towards the rooftop edge.

Bang bang bang bang!

A dense barrage of bullets rained down from the sky, causing dust to fly up...

Once the dust settled, on the battered and pitted rooftop, only Li Ang remained.
