188: Encircle and kill, General of Ice!

In front of Xia Qi was an army ready for battle.

Unlike the Elemental Creatures outside, these guys looked well-trained at a glance.

Every single one was fully armed.

They formed a formation, their weapons all aimed at Xia Qi.

They were divided into small teams, somewhat resembling professional adventurer teams.

Just as Xia Qi was about to engage them, the gate behind him was already surrounded by Elemental Creatures.

Xia Qi was now caught in a pincer attack, assailed from both front and back.

In such a situation, it seemed there was only one option: to fight.

Fighting here was clearly not a good choice.

However, there was nothing he could do now.

He didn't have that much time to waste here.

Including the return journey and rest time, Xia Qi didn't have much time left to stay here.

The Elemental Soldiers in front of him, under the command of their leading general, launched an attack on Xia Qi.

Support units buffed the soldiers, and soldiers with ranged abilities immediately attacked Xia Qi.

Overwhelming Elemental Skills quickly enveloped Xia Qi.

These attacks looked chaotic, but Xia Qi saw through them at a glance.

The attacks from each direction were dominated by a certain attribute, with other attributes serving as support.

Xia Qi's figure danced, and the sword in his hand became illusory.

In just a blink of an eye, it transformed into countless sharp blades, striking down those Elemental Skills.

Each sword strike carried different Elemental Power.

The moment the two sides met, a violent explosion erupted in the field.

Amidst the explosion, thick smoke billowed.

The Elemental Creatures' vision was obstructed, and Xia Qi's figure disappeared from their sight.

At this moment, all the soldiers changed their formation.

They adopted a defensive stance, and even the Elemental Creatures at the entrance retreated a good deal.

A thunderous sound echoed from the field, and Xia Qi attacked the Elemental General with extreme speed.

These guys were field commanders; killing them would make things much easier.

Under the effect of Hundred Percent Empty-Handed White Blade Catch, Xia Qi's sword pierced a general.

At the same time, a large amount of water vapor spread around him.

It rapidly expanded, completely enveloping the vicinity.

Xia Qi's figure disappeared again, but this time, a chill filled the air.

After the water vapor completely covered the field, it solidified at a visible speed.

It transformed into ice shards, attacking the Elemental Creatures.

They quickly defended against the ice shard attacks.

This gave Xia Qi an opportunity to attack, and he immediately made his move.

A fierce wind suddenly began to howl, surrounding half of the Elemental Palace.

Flames, lightning, frost, all kinds of elements were swept up in this gale.

Even Elemental Creatures immune to Wind element could not break through the encirclement of this gale.

Within it, Xia Qi swiftly attacked the Elemental Generals.

Under the effect of Hundred Percent Empty-Handed White Blade Catch, they had no chance to dodge.

Coupled with Xia Qi's use of Group Weakening, they simply couldn't withstand Xia Qi's attacks.

Xia Qi's sword severed the throat of an Elemental General, and he swiftly disappeared into the white mist.

Affected by Group Weakening and various elements, the combat capabilities of all Elemental Creatures drastically decreased.

Now, it wasn't Xia Qi who was surrounded.

Xia Qi alone had surrounded all these Elemental Creatures.

Chaotic Flower Sword Dance!

A new sword skill created by Xia Qi, it mobilized Elemental Power to rapidly stab and attack in the field.

Elemental Flowers bloomed, striking targets with precision.

[Water Element Crystal +1.]

[Wind element Crystal +1.]

[Fire Element Crystal +1.]

...

Xia Qi continuously attacked the targets, his extreme speed making it difficult for them to catch him.

Every Elemental Creature could only passively defend.

Just as Xia Qi was continuously slaying Elemental Creatures, a sound echoed from deep within the palace.

This sound was very jarring; the Elemental Creatures had only discovered Xia Qi after this sound.

The Elemental Creatures seemed to have received some command and quickly launched a counterattack.

They attacked directly forward, completely disregarding who their attacks might hit.

Xia Qi immediately noticed this and quickly hid in the white mist.

It seemed that the sound must be from the owner of this Elemental Palace.

Or rather, the one giving orders.

Every time this sound appeared, it changed the Elemental Creatures' movements.

This proved that it had absolute authority among these Elemental Creatures.

In the field, various elements continuously exploded all around.

Xia Qi hid in the shadows, evading these attacks.

He would seize an opportunity to throw out an Elemental Flower.

The Elemental Flower was extremely small, but it contained powerful energy.

And this skill would become stronger as Xia Qi grew stronger.

A small flower quietly drifted towards an Elemental Behemoth, similar to a Flame Fire Beast.

It was directly inhaled into the Elemental Behemoth's belly and disappeared.

In just a blink of an eye, this Behemoth collapsed with a crash.

The Elemental Flower exploded within its body, directly disrupting its internal elemental structure.

Xia Qi's skill release was also based on their elemental composition, which achieved twice the result with half the effort.

Under Xia Qi's attacks, the number of these Elemental Creatures rapidly decreased.

As time passed, the effect of the white mist also diminished.

His figure gradually appeared in the Elemental Creatures' line of sight.

The Elemental Creatures were not fools; when they realized Xia Qi had been hiding, they immediately launched an attack.

A large number of elemental attacks came towards Xia Qi.

"Still have to fight head-on!"

Facing the elemental attacks coming at him, Xia Qi immediately began to defend.

He unleashed various elements to block these attacks.

Facing the remaining Elemental Creatures alone, passive defense would surely lead to death.

Even with Group Weakening, these hundreds of Elemental Creatures still possessed extremely strong combat power.

He immediately deployed an ice wall for defense, and the moment the ice wall was shattered, he had already left his original position.

A large number of elemental attacks shattered a corner of the palace, creating a large hole.

Above the Elemental Palace, thick, dark clouds gathered.

Within these dark clouds, lightning flashed and thunder roared.

The Elemental Palace was rapidly covered in darkness, and a figure was illuminated by the lightning.

Lightning converged on the sword in Xia Qi's hand, and thick lightning power condensed at the sword tip.

Thunderbolt Sky Shatter Slash!

He swiftly struck down at the Elemental Creatures below, and the lightning power enveloped all Elemental Creatures in the field.

Under Xia Qi's attack, a deep pit was directly carved into the ground.

Just as Xia Qi was descending, an Elemental General suddenly appeared behind him.

It aimed a blade at Xia Qi's back.

Xia Qi turned and blocked, forcing the opponent back with intense flames.

Both landed, and only then did Xia Qi realize the opponent was somewhat different.

This was a general composed of Ice Element, everything on its body was pure white.

And it looked much larger than the other generals.

So, Xia Qi quickly checked the opponent's attributes.
