258: It's time to end!

Countless dark figures circled in the air, resembling bats in appearance.

Xia Qi withdrew his flames, condensing them in his hand, preparing to strike at the bat-like dark figures.

Just as Xia Qi was about to move and clear out these bats, Milo emerged.

His body had undergone some changes from before; although the previous distortion was gone, he looked more like a monster.

He lunged at Xia Qi with incredible speed, like a ghostly dark shadow.

Immediately after, a strange and extremely powerful force appeared on both sides of Xia Qi's body.

It was like a withered hand, gripping Xia Qi tightly.

The surrounding bat-like dark figures also moved, all biting at Xia Qi.

In the blink of an eye, all the attacks struck Xia Qi.

Milo sneered, wiping his fingers.

He was certain that his attack had hit Xia Qi.

Even if Xia Qi didn't die, he would at least lose a layer of skin.

Just as he was preparing to unleash a second round of attacks, an icy force directly froze the surrounding dark figures and Milo.

"This, how is this possible!"

Although Milo was frozen, he was incredibly surprised by this in his heart.

Because he saw Xia Qi shatter the ice sculpture formed by the dark figure and walk out.

His attack couldn't have been blocked by Xia Qi, and there was also this powerful ice elemental power.

He had watched Xia Qi's previous matches and knew Xia Qi had this ability, but he hadn't expected it to be so strong.

This seemed different from what he had previously thought.

Xia Qi immediately moved against Milo, and flames ignited on his sword's edge.

Since Milo was so afraid of his flames before, he would use flame attacks.

Heavenly Flame Seven Severance Slash!

Seven Clone phantoms appeared simultaneously, and in an instant, they arrived beside Milo.

Including Xia Qi's main body, there were eight flame slashes, all striking Milo's body.

Immediately, the smell of roasted meat wafted over, and Milo was sent flying.

Many burn marks appeared on his body, but they quickly recovered at a visible rate.

"Damn it!"

Milo cursed under his breath.

Xia Qi immediately pursued Milo, and a bloody Sword Qi directly slashed towards Milo.

Milo instantly transformed into a dark shadow, dodging Xia Qi's slash.

He didn't immediately attack Xia Qi but instead moved around Xia Qi.

Xia Qi wanted to find Milo's trace, but the opponent seemed to possess some ability to conceal his figure.

In the darkness, Milo's speed was extremely fast.

Xia Qi could only see several dark figures constantly appearing and disappearing in the darkness.

Just as Xia Qi was searching for Milo's trace, Milo suddenly appeared behind Xia Qi and struck Xia Qi's back with a blade.

Xia Qi immediately turned around and blocked Milo's attack with his sword.

However, Milo's attack seemed not to be simple; Xia Qi felt a force continuously eroding his body.

Xia Qi immediately infused the power of flames into his body, which forced that power back.

Milo sneered, attacking Xia Qi again.

Every one of his attacks carried a strange power.

Although it didn't cause much damage to Xia Qi, it was very annoying.

Xia Qi didn't intend to entangle with Milo, so he condensed a Sword Qi and slashed towards Milo.

Milo once again transformed into a dark shadow, dodging Xia Qi's attack.

Xia Qi frowned; he found himself seemingly caught in Milo's rhythm.

The opponent seemed very skilled at this kind of harassing attack, and his attacks also carried strange power. Although it wasn't enough to defeat him, it was very tricky.

Xia Qi pondered for a moment, then used the Wind and Thunder Sword Art.

For a time, countless Sword Qi crisscrossed, spreading in all directions.

Although Milo could conceal his figure, Xia Qi didn't believe he could remain unharmed under such a dense Sword Qi attack.

Soon, Milo revealed his figure, with several new wounds on his body.

However, these wounds would quickly heal.

Xia Qi immediately attacked Milo, with Sword Qi continuously slashing at Milo.

Although Milo could dodge some attacks, more attacks still landed on his body.

Xia Qi didn't give Milo any chance to breathe, continuing to launch fierce attacks at Milo.

Soon, Milo was beaten back by Xia Qi, with many wounds appearing on his body.

Xia Qi condensed a powerful Sword Qi and slashed towards Milo.

Although Milo wanted to dodge, Xia Qi's speed was too fast, and he simply didn't have time to react.

The Sword Qi directly struck Milo's body, and instantly, Milo's body was split in half by the Sword Qi.

However, no blood splattered out.

Milo's body turned into two shadows and immediately fled.

Xia Qi watched the two dark shadows in front of him, fleeing rapidly.

Then, in the darkness, the two shadows merged into one, turning back into Milo's appearance.

Milo's strength was indeed good, but not overly exaggerated.

If Milo truly couldn't be killed, then there would be no need to dodge.

Xia Qi had seen too many such methods during this time; either they had limits or fatal flaws.

Milo must be one of them, otherwise he wouldn't carry out such attacks.

When Milo reappeared, his appearance had completely transformed into a monster.

His eyes were blood-red, and blood continuously surged on his body.

His body swelled, and veins bulged.

"It seems it's about to end!"

"What do you mean?"

Someone in the audience sighed, and the others immediately asked.

It clearly looked like Xia Qi had the advantage.

"This is Milo's most terrifying form; very few people ever see it."

"It seems he wants to end this quickly!"

After hearing this, the rest of the audience stared intently at the two people on the stage.

This was not only a competition between two professionals but also a competition between two countries.

Soon, Milo enhanced all aspects of his abilities.

He crashed into Xia Qi at an extremely fast speed, and Xia Qi immediately blocked with his sword.

Milo's strength was much greater than before, and that strange energy was also more intense than before.

Although Xia Qi blocked it, Milo smiled.

"It should be about time!"

Just as Xia Qi felt puzzled, a sudden pain began to appear on his body.

This was poison!

He had wondered what method Milo would use, but he hadn't expected it to be poison.

His harassing attacks, combined with poison, continuously eroded the opponent's body.

Then, in this form, he would deliver a fatal blow to the opponent.

No wonder few people survived or left; it turned out he used poison.

However, using this much poison on Xia Qi, wasn't that underestimating him too much!

Just as Milo thought victory was in his grasp, he suddenly felt an extremely powerful force.

Flames rose around Xia Qi.

At the same time, his figure also became ethereal.
