Chapter 133 Geng Gui's Counterattack

Clang—!

The ear-piercing sound of metal clashing suddenly exploded.

A tiny figure abruptly blocked the path between the white spirit sword and Ash, forcibly taking the fatal blow.

Li Weihuan's pupils shrank, his face full of disbelief.

“How is this possible!”

Ash seized this fleeting opening and gave a sharp command:

“Pikachu, Thunderbolt!”

“Pika... chu!”

A blinding golden current of electricity surged wildly from Pikachu's body, striking the white spirit sword like a bolt of crashing thunder.

A metal body was naturally the best conductor for lightning; the white spirit sword was instantly enveloped in electricity, letting out a shrill scream.

“Hurry and support him!”

Li Weihuan roared in desperation, directing the other three spirit swords to rush forward and rescue him.

Seeing that there was nothing for it to do, the Magikarp nearby spat disdainfully at Li Weihuan, flicked its tail, and jumped back into its tiny puddle, as leisurely as if it were watching a farce.

“You...!”

Being mocked in public by a fish, Li Weihuan's veins bulged with rage, and his anger rushed straight to his head.

The summer, autumn, and winter spirit swords rushed toward the white spirit sword at high speed, wanting to save it.

But how could Ash give them that chance? Gardevoir and the spring spirit sword flashed out simultaneously, firmly blocking the trio's path.

“spring spirit sword, get out of my way!”

The summer spirit sword had the most fiery personality; holding a longsword, it let out an angry shout and slashed down with a sharp blade.

Unfazed, the spring spirit sword used a gentle sword technique that 'moistens things silently.' It appeared soft, yet it neutralized each of the opponent's fierce attacks.

Although the spring spirit sword's attack power wasn't as high as the summer spirit sword's, its ability to entangle and stall was unparalleled. By itself, it managed to tie down both the summer and autumn spirit swords, making it impossible for them to advance even a step.

On the other side, Gardevoir faced off against the winter spirit sword. Gu Ye's gaze fell upon the battlefield, carrying a hint of eerie calmness.

Gardevoir and the winter spirit sword already had a binding connection. The winter spirit sword stood in place and raised its hand, sending several flying swords condensed from ice crystals shooting toward Gardevoir like a rainstorm.

Meanwhile, the white spirit sword, hit by Pikachu, suffered from the worst possible luck.

It had unintentionally triggered Pikachu's Static ability. Its entire body went numb, falling into a paralyzed state on the spot, its movements instantly becoming stiff.

A flash of joy appeared in Ash's eyes as he seized the decisive moment:

“Pikachu, now! Maximum power Iron Tail, give him the final blow!”

Pikachu leaped high into the air, its thick tail glowing with a cold metallic luster. Carrying the weight of a thousand catties, it smashed ruthlessly into the white spirit sword's chest.

“Bang!”

The white spirit sword's body shuddered violently; unable to hold on any longer, it crashed to the ground.

white spirit sword, deceased!

Having lost consciousness, he transformed back into a longsword with a white dragon pattern carved on the hilt, lying quietly in the center of the field, devoid of any murderous intent.

At the same time, several of the winter spirit sword's ice swords had already pierced Gardevoir's body, leaving several bloody holes in her.

But instead of retreating, the light in Gardevoir's eyes exploded. Her Psychic power erupted at full force, accurately hitting the winter spirit sword.

As this blow landed, the winter spirit sword's body suddenly expanded, and invisible mental waves swept out, directly hitting the nearby summer and autumn spirit swords.

The movements of the summer and autumn spirit swords instantly became sluggish, as if their bodies were bound by an invisible force, and their attack speed was greatly reduced.

What horrified the winter spirit sword even more was that Gardevoir's Synchronize ability had been triggered.

“Pfft—”

The winter spirit sword suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at the blood-covered Gardevoir in disbelief.

“It's you...”

Li Weihuan also instantly saw the clues. His face was so dark it looked like it was about to drip water, and he growled through gritted teeth:

“Damn it! How are his cards so sinister? Not a single skill is normal!”

Just then, Pikachu, having finished off the white spirit sword, leaped over and joined the battlefield on the spring spirit sword's side.

“Pikachu, Thunderbolt!”

Golden thunder exploded again with an ear-piercing crackling sound, accurately striking the summer spirit sword.

The summer spirit sword was already being held back by the spring spirit sword; now hit by lightning, its body convulsed violently, exposing countless openings.

A cold light flashed in the spring spirit sword's eyes. Seizing the opportunity, she immediately activated her move:

[Recovery of All Things]!

The longsword in her hand burst with a soft green light, and illusory petals condensed, turning into a violent storm of sword qi that completely enveloped the summer spirit sword.

As the light dissipated, the summer spirit sword lay on the ground, unable to get up.

summer spirit sword, deceased!

Watching his subordinates being killed one after another, even dying at the hands of their own, Li Weihuan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. The anger and frustration in his heart almost burst through his chest.

“Very good... very good!”

Li Weihuan laughed out of extreme anger and suddenly looked at the black spirit sword, who had been silent by his side, and shouted sharply:

“Sword Domain!”

A terrifying pressure erupted from the black spirit sword, sweeping across the entire battlefield.

Gu Ye's gaze narrowed as he saw it clearly.

In the black spirit sword's hand was the dragon-hilted sword left behind by the white spirit sword!

By sacrificing the power of its companion, the black spirit sword's strength skyrocketed, infinitely approaching a light purple card of the same rank, making it practically invincible within its level.

Countless sharp sword qi circled and howled in mid-air—the Sword Domain had fully descended!

Within this Sword Domain, the attack power of all cards on Ash's side was directly weakened by ten percent.

The audience stands instantly erupted into a frenzy.

“Hmm, it's actually a sacrifice play. It seems Li Weihuan is getting serious.”

“At this moment, the black spirit sword is essentially invincible among those of the same rank. I wonder how Gu Ye will respond.”

“black spirit sword, kill them all!”

Li Weihuan's tone was sinister, his eyes fixed on the Magikarp that had mocked him repeatedly, wishing he could tear it into ten thousand pieces.

The black spirit sword moved, disappearing directly from its spot.

In the next second, he appeared in front of Gardevoir. Raising the dragon-hilted sword high, he slashed down without any hesitation!

Gardevoir didn't even have a chance to react; her body was torn apart by the sword qi, and she fell on the spot.

And the winter spirit sword, bound to Gardevoir, also lost its power and slowly dissipated into the air.

winter spirit sword, deceased!

The black spirit sword turned with his sword, pointing the blade directly at Ash. With a light flick of his wrist, a highly condensed sword qi shot out, incredibly fast.

Ash, truly deserving of the title Super Pallet Towner, had reactions far beyond ordinary people and suddenly ducked to the side.

The sword qi grazed his cheek; although it missed his vitals, it forcibly sliced off one of his arms. Blood instantly spurted out.

Ash groaned, his face pale, yet he still did not back down.

“Pikachu, 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt! Target: spring spirit sword!”

Pikachu swallowed a z-crystal left behind by a sacrificed teammate. The electricity around its body surged, its power far exceeding the previous Thunderbolt.

It turned out the three-minute limit of the Master Ball's control had expired. The spring spirit sword wanted to dodge, but it was already too late.

A terrifying bolt of lightning, more dazzling than the blazing sun, crashed down upon the spring spirit sword.

The spring spirit sword didn't even manage to let out a scream before falling to the ground.

spring spirit sword, deceased!

At this point, Ash's side had lost more than half of its combat power.

“Sword Domain Strangling!”

The black spirit sword gave a soft, cold shout and waved his hand.

In mid-air, countless sword qi gathered into a rushing river, madly washing over and cutting everyone on Ash's side.

Although Ash had a fifty percent damage reduction effect, every sword qi that sliced across his body brought a piercing, bone-deep pain, making him tremble uncontrollably.

In this desperate situation, Ash's voice suddenly rang throughout the entire arena, carrying a hint of pain but even more determination.

“Gengar, [Payback]!” (After Ash triggered [Messenger of Ho-Oh], he also triggered [Champion's Bond], summoning Gengar, who had been hiding in Ash's shadow all along.)

A dark shadow suddenly darted out from Ash's shadow and floated in mid-air.

It was indeed the Gengar that had been hiding in the shadow, waiting for the right moment to strike!

Gengar's round, chubby black body looked particularly striking on the battlefield. It grinned, revealing an eerie smile, and let out a series of cackling laughs.

With a light wave of its short arms, an amazing scene appeared.

A river of sword qi with the same power and momentum surged out from in front of Gengar.

The only difference was that this river of sword qi was a pure pitch-black color, carrying the coldness and eeriness unique to the Ghost type.

The black spirit sword could drive the Sword Domain and summon a river of sword qi, but when faced with a counterattack of equal power, he had no way to defend himself.

The black river of sword qi instantly submerged the black spirit sword completely.

As the sword qi dissipated, the black spirit sword lay on the ground, no longer breathing.

black spirit sword, deceased!

With the fall of the black spirit sword, the Sword Domain covering the entire battlefield shattered, and the pressure completely vanished.

At this moment, only the autumn spirit sword remained on Li Weihuan's side, isolated, helpless, and trembling.

The entire battle—from the white spirit sword's surprise attack to Magikarp unexpectedly taking the damage, Pikachu breaking through enemy generals, Gardevoir trading her life with her ability, the spring spirit sword's betrayal, then the black spirit sword's sacrificial explosion, and finally Gengar ending the battlefield with Payback.

It was full of ups and downs, changing in an instant.

Li Weihuan, who originally held an absolute advantage, now had only one last trump card left; the tide had turned.

Meanwhile, although Ash and Gu Ye's side had suffered heavy casualties, they still stood on the battlefield, their eyes firm and their fighting spirit undiminished.

On the battlefield, the wind stopped.

Only the figure of the autumn spirit sword and Li Weihuan's extremely livid face remained.
