With a splash, a large amount of blood sprayed and splattered on Ledux's body, as well as on the sword in front of him.
But at this moment, Ledux smiled!
He actively reached out his right hand palm to collide with the sword edge head-on, at the cost of being pierced, to slow down the enemy's momentum.
The area of Ledux's palm was almost completely pierced through;
Exposed in Wang Xiaole's sight, there were even a few tendons inside the opponent's palm.
If others were to see it, Ledux's action just now would definitely be considered self-harm, an extremely irrational behavior.
Only the demon himself knew that:
The reaction he just made was completely worth it!
Not for anything else, but because as soon as the action ended, the attack displayed by the long sword that was coming towards Ledux was temporarily halted.
With the opponent's only weapon restricted in the short term, Ledux immediately launched a counterattack.
He stretched out his freed left hand, straightened it, concentrating his powerful magic on it, greatly enhancing the destructive power of his palm;
After completing this move, he suddenly stepped back with one foot and stretched his spine backwards;
At the same time, as his head lifted up, Ledux tightened his left hand completely and swung it forcefully towards the undefended snow-colored neck of the side target;
After a swift turn in the air, that hand left a trace in emptiness, like a flashing blade swallowing and spitting out cold light.
The counter to that palm was Wang Xiaole's unilateral elbow that was raised outward after moving his arm.
Such a move hardly affected the movement of gripping the sword, nor did it require a special response with the left hand;
After all, the arm that Wang Xiaole used to hold the sword was the same elbow as the one that was fiercely raised a moment ago!
Boom!
Flesh against flesh, magic against magic;
After this confrontation, the party that launched the counterattack did not achieve any substantial gains.
The first round of counterattack failed, but Ledux was not angry, and at that instant, he employed a backup plan:
The palm that was pushed back suddenly grasped the magic mist swirling around it, and after holding it once, it officially picked up a dagger.
From the next moment, that demonic hand, which had just been withdrawn, swiftly slashed down, targeting the thin forearm half a foot away.
Up to this point, Wang Xiaole still lifted his left hand in midair;
Facing the swiftly approaching dagger, Wang Xiaole used his elbow as the center, controlling the arm to suddenly rotate, turning the entire arm from vertical to horizontal.
With a "whoosh", the tip of the dagger didn't even graze the edge of the arm opposite it;
At the same time, Wang Xiaole's right hand suddenly opened, and the grip on the long sword was directly released;
At this moment, the left arm that had just been avoided suddenly flew up, clenched its fist, and squeezed it towards the sword hilt hanging outside Ledux's arm.
Although the person involved was a typical right-hander, he was not completely incapable of using his left hand.
The difference between "proficient" and "not proficient" is relative;
Even if Wang Xiaole moves his left hand, his speed of action is not slow compared to a true left-hander, just that he is not very accustomed to the tactile sensation.
Turning his left hand inward, a few drops of sweat were squeezed out on his hand back, and then on the physical level, he took control of the long sword.
From the next moment, Ledux realized that he had been manipulated.
Originally, he thought his opponent had exposed a flaw, so he initiated a second counterattack using a backup plan.
To his surprise, Wang Xiaole had used his left arm as bait, luring him into a further offensive position.
When the blade failed to strike his left arm, Ledux not only failed in his second counterattack but also lost the ability to defend himself in a very short amount of time.
Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Wang Xiaole's "switching hands" action was a premeditated attack made in the aforementioned situation.
Ledux saw the blade of the sword carved into his own pierced palm from the enemy's gripped left arm, causing it to tear apart from the wound.
After severing half of Ledux's hand, Wang Xiaole continued his assault, attempting to leave more marks on the demon in front of him.
At a critical moment, the two phantom figures that had been forced to retreat earlier finally surrounded Ledux from behind, as the original body had anticipated.
The current situation is as follows:
One person wielding a sword attacks Ledux, while the phantoms approach from behind, prepared to attack the person wielding the sword.
Wang Xiaole believed that her value was different from Ledux's:
He was just a tough demon, while she was a fragile girl;
To achieve the goal of striking that kind of person once, and in exchange adding one or two wounds to herself,
-- It is without a doubt a 200% inequivalence!
Therefore, the established plan changed.
Wang Xiaole did not rush to deal with her opponent across from her. Instead, she swiftly turned her body in a one-legged posture and aimed her blade at the phantoms.
With a muffled sound reverberating, in the instant the sword light flashed, the illusory body of "Ledux B" had a large hole pierced through it by the sword's edge.
Because the phantoms were products of magic, there was naturally no blood flowing out.
After Wang Xiaole retracted her left hand, the body of phantom "B" trembled violently, convulsing several times before returning to magic residue and dissipated into the air.
A short moment passed, and the only remaining phantom, "A," immediately assumed a life-or-death posture.
Relying on its illusory body, "A" tightly held onto the pitch-black longsword that was about to be swung down;
His left palm, already split open, clenched his fingers with all his might, forming a fist;
Regardless of the situation, he refused to let go of the sword blade that the opponent had not had time to pull back, not even the tiniest bit.
After all, phantoms were not real, and ensuring the survival of their original form was the utmost significance for these illusory entities to exist in the world.
After preparing for a "life for a life," the phantom "A" wielded the large sword and swung it forward fiercely!
However, before "A" could successfully execute his action, the fair, long leg that swooped in from the opposite side arrived first with a flying kick.
A dull sound reverberated, and the large sword that "A" had let go of flew upward, only to be caught by the enemy's hand.
What Wang Xiaole had to do next was to mobilize her left hand to lift that weapon and use the enemy's large sword to slay the enemy!
Is there such a skillful move?
Absolutely!
Wang Xiaole controlled the large sword held in her left hand, allowing it to pass over her right shoulder and aimed the blade directly at phantom "A," who was within attack range.
Crack!
A swift and decisive beheading.
In a short while, "A" met the same fate as "B" and completely dissipated into magic residue.
After sporadically taking down three prey, Wang Xiaole knew exactly who the last target was without having to think about it.
As the last illusion dispersed, Ledux's unique head quickly came into Wang Xiaole's line of sight as he turned around.
Not long ago, the half-severed hand of Ledux had already healed completely, with no visible trace of injury from the outside.
"The wounds on my body can heal multiple times. You, a flat-chested girl, cannot cause me any real harm," Ledux emphasized, highlighting his advantage as a demon.
Wang Xiaole grudgingly pouted, expressing her inner thoughts with a series of repeated monosyllabic words: "Yoyo yoyo yoyo yoyo yoyo, impressive, you're so great! I'm different from you, an ordinary person who can get hurt..."
Clang!
After a few moments of pouting, Wang Xiaole made a clanging sound as she released her grip on the sword, raised her well-shaped chin, and threw a "slightly arrogant" look.
"I can get hurt, but at least you, who is right in front of me, don't have the ability to hurt me!"
"Are you sure?" Ledux leisurely spoke.
Behind him, a dark gleam started to wriggle and gradually solidify amidst the surging magic.
Compared to the previously expanded purple-black mist, the current scene appeared familiar to Wang Xiaole, who had been dealing with the Elder Council since the "Wedding Battle" began.
As Ledux fully released the magic within him, a shadow faintly appeared within the black mist, gradually becoming more solid.
Immediately after, from behind Ledux, Wang Xiaole saw a huge shadow hidden within the mist; the front of the shadow vaguely showed a fierce face, with the same angry expression as when they fought against the monster demon.
The true identity of the shadow was a powerful demon beast with only its soul remaining.
Back then, taking advantage of the demon beast's carelessness, Ledux killed it through a sneak attack and completely subjugated its soul after its death.
Once subdued, the soul of this demon beast became Ledux's last hidden move, or one could understand it as his strongest "weapon"!
The will of the master is what the shadow (demon beast) thinks in its heart.
In an instant, the shadow reached out with a large hand.
Accompanied by a heavy roar from the mist, the massive five fingers converged into a fan shape, heavily slamming down towards the target on the platform.
The hand that struck out had a swift and powerful momentum, with the force of a thunderous descent, fiercely smashing towards the top of Wang Xiaole's head.
Standing tall on the platform, the target locked in place raised the long sword with the right hand while controlling the left hand to press on the inside of the sword.
Through this method, a part of Wang Xiaole's magical power was heavily infused into the blade.
Boom boom boom boom boom!
At the moment of collision between the shadow's large hand and the sharp sword, the two different magical powers eroded each other, instantly turning into a storm that swept towards the surroundings.
In the face of the relentless assault of external forces, the entire arena eventually collapses and falls from its elevated position to the level ground.
In that instant, Wang Xiaole raises his heel and with a burst of increased force, he repels the large hand, pushing it back in the opposite direction.
