41: Crazy! He's just a summon!

"Eh?"

In a corner of the Plague Rat Path, Qin Yang, who was watching the battle, let out an "Eh."

Doesn't this elf lack a Physical Body? How is she able to hold a sword?

Just as he was curious, Hui Yue had already launched an attack.

"Hui Yues Fire!"

Silver flames surged toward the Imperial Guard like a tidal wave.

Qin Yang was surprised to discover that the flames Hui Yue unleashed were far more powerful than those Su Chenxing had cast!

However, he still ordered the Imperial Guard to take the skill head-on.

Boom!

The surging silver flames slammed into the dark gold armor.

This time, the Imperial Guard actually took several steps back, and wisps of smoke rose from the armor, accompanied by a sizzling sound.

At the same time, Qin Yang felt a wave of mental shock!

"This fire... it can actually affect my mind directly through a summon; its ability is quite strong!"

Qin Yang was surprised, and his spirits were lifted.

To be honest, he had been a little disappointed to see the Imperial Guard kill Su Chenxing in one hit.

Now that it was Hui Yues turn to enter the fray, things were becoming interesting.

"Take her down for Me!"

"Understood!"

Qin Yang gave the order remotely, and the Imperial Guard immediately pushed through the tidal wave of silver flames and launched a "Fearless Charge" at Hui Yue.

However, facing the control-immune Fearless Charge, Hui Yue did not dodge; instead, she pointed her long sword toward the sky and shouted: "Tide of the Moon!"

Hum!

An invisible repulsive force spread instantly.

The charging Imperial Guard was forcibly brought to a halt.

"Is this a suppression-type skill?"

Qin Yang took a deep breath.

Control-type skills are divided into five levels: Weakening, Binding, Imprisonment, Stun, and Suppression.

Among them, Suppression-type control has the highest priority.

Even with Super Armor activated, it can firmly control the target.

Since Tide of the Moon could block the Fearless Charge, it was highly likely a Suppression-type skill.

Of course, a Paladin in an invincible state cannot be suppressed.

This meant that Qin Yangs See Me As Heaven had a priority even higher than Suppression-type skills.

"This Saintess Hui Yue truly has some tricks."

Qin Yang sighed in admiration, then looked back at the battlefield.

At this moment, Hui Yue and the Imperial Guard were locked in combat.

Hui Yues movement technique was strange; she shifted her position constantly, like a soft, flowing garment, circling the Imperial Guard and continuously slashing out crescent-shaped sword beams.

The crescent-shaped sword beams were sharp and dense; the Imperial Guard was suppressed in place, forced to block with its long halberd and falling into a passive position.

"Her combat awareness is also not bad; it feels like she is battle-hardened."

Qin Yang evaluated seriously.

Being able to force the Imperial Guard into a passive state, Hui Yues strength had already earned his recognition.

At the same time, her lithe figure catered to Qin Yangs taste.

"Sigh, why isn't this Sword Spirit mine? I have a sword too."

"She is also a part of Su Chenxings Luck; can I poach her?"

Qin Yang stroked the dragon-patterned hilt of the emperor yangs blood-drinking sword, his eyes shining brightly.

He turned his head to look at Su Chenxing in the corner of the battlefield and couldn't help but laugh; this guy was actually moving little by little toward the shadows, ready to abandon Hui Yue and flee at any moment.

"What a useless thing."

Qin Yang shook his head helplessly.

He felt that it was a waste for the Sword Spirit to follow Su Chenxing.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

In the Plague Rat Path, brilliant light flashed.

The sound of metal clashing was deafening.

Perhaps the crisis had applied pressure, as Hui Yues attacks became increasingly sharp; ranged, control, weakening... all sorts of skills were unleashed upon the Imperial Guard one after another.

On the Imperial Guard side, it fought with increasing courage, making the battle exhilarating.

On the surface, the two were evenly matched.

But Qin Yang knew in his heart that Hui Yue still had the upper hand.

She had many skills, and she could combine them reasonably well.

The Imperial Guards defeat was only a matter of time.

Suddenly, Hui Yues form flickered.

Immediately afterward, the long sword in her hand slipped for a second before she caught it firmly again.

"What is this?"

Qin Yangs eyes lit up, having guessed something.

Saintess Hui Yue was originally a ghost; she had only temporarily condensed a Physical Body, which allowed her to hold the long sword.

The flickering just now must have been the interruption of the Spell that condensed her Physical Body, causing her to revert to a ghost state, which led to the sword slipping.

"It seems she has reached her limit too."

Qin Yang said to himself, then looked at Su Chenxing again.

Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, Su Chenxing had vanished without a trace.

"In the end, it was a waste of trust."

Qin Yang chuckled, feeling somewhat delighted.

As long as the Sword Spirit was not mindlessly loyal to Su Chenxing, he should have a way to poach her and weaken Su Chenxings Luck.

Qin Yang had awakened the memories of his past life, and he hadn't lost the skills of this life; he was best at poaching talent.

In the Plague Rat Path, the battle was still continuing, but Qin Yang felt there was no need to keep fighting; he already knew Saintess Hui Yues abilities and limits.

Next was the psychological warfare phase.

Thinking this, he gave the order remotely, having the Imperial Guard stop attacking.

At the same time, he ordered the nearby Imperial Army to walk toward the battlefield.

Clang! Clang!

After receiving the order, the Imperial Guard swung its long halberd, deflecting Hui Yues attack, and then immediately retreated several meters, standing still.

Hui Yue looked happy.

The opponent had switched to a defensive state!

As long as she dragged it out a little longer, waiting for Su Chenxing to run a certain distance and cancel her summoning, they would be able to break free from the combat state and withdraw from the Secret Realm.

Just as she thought of this, the sound of clanging echoed again in the darkness.

Hui Yue was suddenly stunned and looked toward the sound.

In the darkness, more than a dozen figures slowly appeared, accompanied by the sound of armor rubbing.

Each of them wore the same dark gold armor as the Imperial Guard and covered their faces with golden masks, though their weapons were slightly different.

Some held long halberds, some held swords and shields, and others held bows and arrows, with lightning flashing on the arrowheads.

This mysterious and powerful team advanced slowly in the Plague Rat Path, every step steady and powerful; the clanging footsteps were as shocking as war drums, completely shattering the defensive line in Hui Yues heart.

She looked at this group of Golden Armor Warriors in despair.

One, two, three...

There were actually eleven more monsters as powerful as the Imperial Guard!

Among them, there were even archers holding magic arrows!

Magic could suppress her ghost form; even if she gave up her Physical Body, she couldn't escape.

Clang.

The long sword slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.

Hui Yue was full of despair, completely giving up.

Given Su Chenxings style of doing things, he would definitely run a sufficient distance before canceling the summoning.

But these Golden Armor Warriors before her could beat her until her Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering in an instant!

Hui Yue sighed in her heart and murmured: "Could it be that I really have no chance to redeem myself?"

Just as Hui Yue was in despair, preparing to bow her head and accept her fate.

She heard the Golden Armor Warriors shout in unison: "Your Excellency has extraordinary skills; are you willing to abandon darkness for light and pledge allegiance to Our Emperor?"

The voice came from behind the golden masks, carrying waves of military aura; although only twelve people shouted in unison, it had the shocking feeling of ten thousand people calling out.

Hui Yue, who had transformed into her ghost form, had her figure flicker from being shaken by this military aura, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

Except for zombies and corpses, humanoid monsters usually have high intelligence, so it is not strange for them to be able to speak human language.

But...

They were actually able to shout the same sentence so uniformly.

This meant that behind them, there was still a controller!

Furthermore, they also mentioned "abandoning darkness for light and pledging allegiance to Our Emperor."

This was enough to prove that these powerful Golden Armor Warriors were not boss-level monsters, but subordinates summoned by some existence!

My World Tree!

Hui Yue completely collapsed.

She had just fought a 18th-level summon to a draw?
