216: The Final Fight

The leader's dagger was stuck in the ice wall, unable to be pulled out for a moment.

He heard Xia Qi's words and looked up.

He saw a hint of excitement in Xia Qi's eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

The ice wall shattered at this moment, turning into countless fragments.

A flaming arm covered in lightning directly pressed down on his head.

Xia Qi slammed him into the ground, and the ground instantly collapsed.

Cracks spread everywhere, and Xia Qi's hand was already empty.

Only a wisp of black smoke remained, quietly dissipating in his hand.

In the distance, the leader reappeared in his original spot.

Although he hadn't suffered much damage, he was clearly terrified.

In contrast, Xia Qi in the distance, under the encirclement of dozens of Sakura Country professionals, was still at ease.

He even killed one and kicked one's head over.

The leader's face turned ashen when he saw it.

He couldn't understand why these warriors under his command were so vulnerable to this young man from Dragon Country.

Cheng Taro didn't care about any of that; seeing the leader suffer a setback, he felt a hint of secret joy.

With the sword in his hand, he made several instantaneous steps and slashed towards Xia Qi.

The sword in Cheng Taro's hand exuded an evil Qi, like a demonic wolf with a gaping maw, about to swallow Xia Qi whole.

Xia Qi immediately sensed Cheng Taro's attack and instantly unleashed a sweeping strike, repelling the Sakura Country professionals around him.

Towards Cheng Taro, who was charging forward, Xia Qi rushed directly with an arrow-like step.

Under the enhancement of his talent, his speed was even faster than Cheng Taro's.

Demon Slayer!

This sword strike carried an overwhelming killing intent.

The killing intent materialized, like a peerless killing God, intent on slaying demons.

When that demonic wolf encountered a killing God who trod upon mountains of corpses and seas of blood, even Cheng Taro felt a chill in his heart at that instant.

The moment the two collided, the demonic wolf instantly disintegrated.

Under this slash, Cheng Taro's consciousness instantly became blurred.

He only saw a few scattered drops of blood flying in the air before he lost consciousness.

Seeing this, Purple Butterfly immediately retreated.

Her wariness towards Xia Qi deepened a few points.

At this moment, two Sakura Country professionals raised their swords and attacked from behind Xia Qi.

They leaped into the air and slashed towards Xia Qi's head.

The moment they swung their swords, Xia Qi disappeared from his original spot.

"Not good, quickly dodge!"

Purple Butterfly immediately realized something was wrong and shouted loudly.

However, it was already too late; Xia Qi had already reached behind the two of them.

With a swing of his sword, blood splattered.

This sword strike directly sent them to meet their beloved Emperor.

Seeing his subordinates diminishing and Xia Qi showing no signs of being affected.

Instead, he became more excited with each kill, showing no fatigue.

Even his skills showed no sign of stopping.

It was as if Xia Qi's energy would never run out.

"Baka, if this continues, how will His Majesty the Emperor's command be completed!"

"Cheng Taro, get up now!"

Amidst the leader's shouts, Cheng Taro shakily climbed to his feet from the ground.

He glanced at Xia Qi, who was still in the midst of the encirclement.

However, it looked more like he was playing.

Purple Butterfly's attacks had no effect whatsoever.

Her poisoned needles were either dodged or blocked by ice blocks.

The poisonous gas couldn't even reach Xia Qi and was instead blown by a gust of wind onto the Sakura Country professionals.

She even had to detoxify them, not helping at all but rather having a counterproductive effect.

Her hidden weapons also had no effect on Xia Qi, and would even be sent back.

"This person is too terrifying."

Cheng Taro stood up and said, looking at Xia Qi.

"What, are you scared?"

The leader glanced at Cheng Taro and asked.

"Tsk, how could that be? The stronger he is, the more excited I get!"

He said so, but his legs were trembling.

The leader noticed, but did not announce it.

He still needed Cheng Taro to charge, otherwise he wouldn't even have a chance to make a move.

Cheng Taro knew that if he showed fear, he would definitely be killed directly here.

The leader would execute him without Xia Qi even needing to make a move.

He had seen too many such things.

Now he still had value, so he had to demonstrate his value before that.

Cheng Taro charged up again, this time fully prepared.

He used all his techniques, and wisps of evil Qi emerged from his body.

The evil Qi shot out from his body, like tentacles.

Then, those tentacles coiled around Cheng Taro's body.

All the Aura on his body was greatly different from before.

In his eyes, a strange evil Qi was revealed.

He gasped for breath, desperately trying to encourage himself.

"Cheng Taro, you can do it!"

"Cheng Taro, for Bushido, for the Emperor!"

He took a step and charged towards Xia Qi, who was currently maneuvering with the Sakura Country professionals.

"It should be almost time to end this."

Xia Qi secretly thought to himself.

He glanced at the Sakura Country professional leader in the distance; only he and a few others beside him had yet to make a move.

But Xia Qi knew that these few people were the key.

If they realized something was wrong, they might very well escape.

At such a long distance, Xia Qi wasn't entirely confident he could keep all of them.

If even one wasn't sent to meet the Emperor, wouldn't Xia Qi's current endeavor not be considered Perfection?

To avoid leaving any regrets for himself, Xia Qi could only pretend to be trying hard to maneuver.

Cheng Taro also saw that Xia Qi showed a hint of fatigue.

He seized that momentary opening before daring to charge forward and attack.

Xia Qi sensed the opponent's arrival, waited for a moment, and then retaliated.

A sword and a blade clashed, appearing to be in a difficult stalemate.

The surrounding professionals immediately intensified their attacks, and Xia Qi's defenses were constantly being broken and then restored.

Ice shards, as well as broken rocks and soil, kept falling to the ground.

But this was still not enough.

The leader and the few Sakura Country professionals beside him still hadn't made a move; they were still waiting.

Waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Xia Qi.

They didn't know how many tricks Xia Qi still had up his sleeve; this young man in front of them was simply too difficult to deal with.

If they were not careful, they could very well lose their lives.

Xia Qi had no choice; it seemed he had to act even more convincingly.

So, the repair speed of his defenses, formed by ice blocks and earth, gradually slowed down.

It was at this moment that Purple Butterfly discovered an opening.

She shot out several poisoned needles, then immediately changed position, attacking continuously.

Some poisoned needles were blocked by Xia Qi's defense, but some still penetrated.

However, Xia Qi intentionally avoided vital points; as long as he wasn't hit in a vital spot, the problem wasn't big.

Several poisoned needles pierced into Xia Qi's left leg, and he immediately pretended to be injured.

His left leg trembled, losing strength.

"Baka, die!"

Seeing this, Cheng Taro immediately launched his fatal attack.
