The Most Beautiful Duel
update icon Updated at 2025/10/30 15:10:13

The self-conscious shadow did not give up, but instead extended their terrifying hands with sharp spikes protruding from their periphery.

Like a shower of needles, the spikes turned into a chaotic mass and fiercely shot towards their targets.

Seeing these attacks falling from above, Wang Xiaole, who was originally healthy, was almost about to suffer from intermittent irritability.

"I have never seen such annoying attacks. It seems like I need to deal with them quickly..."

Wang Xiaole raised his head slightly and looked at the approaching attacks with a faint smile.

However, deep within his crescent-shaped eyes, there was no trace of laughter, only endless indifference.

In the next moment, his slender fingers clenched together and the sword blade hovering in mid-air began to rotate.

Meanwhile, the space that the numerous spikes passed through started to distort.

This shows how terrifying the force of a single spike is.

The power of a single spike is no less than that of the previous Claw Demons and other individual demons.

One can only imagine that when hundreds or thousands of similar spikes are combined, even Curyl, who occupies the third position, would have difficulty withstand the impact head-on.

Ding!

Just as the attack was about to hit its target, a loud sword cry echoed through the air.

At that moment, Ledux, standing in the distance, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

In that instant, he sensed a very dangerous feeling bursting out from his opponent's hand.

Boom!

With a muffled sound, the forest-like spikes above the shadow's head began to tremble uncontrollably.

In the blink of an eye, Ledux's pupils suddenly shrank.

It was because he witnessed with his own eyes:

Cracks were rapidly spreading on the surface of each spike.

As the cracks spread, numerous sword lights, equal in number to the spikes, burst out from the sword held by the opponent, tearing and ripping apart the spikes.

Compared to Ledux's astonishment, the onlookers below had simpler thoughts.

What they were concerned about was the sudden drop in temperature within the venue.

Although they had been in the venue for a long time and their bodies had adapted to the low temperature, the sudden rush of cold air still made their skin feel a piercing chill.

They turned their gaze back to the arena.

With a loud bang, the immense demonic power behind Ledux surged like a river.

With this continuous supply of demonic power, the fragmented spikes that had already retreated transformed into a multi-headed giant serpent that swung its tail.

The scales of the serpent gleamed with magical energy, and it let out a sky-piercing roar, spewing out a large amount of dust mixed with magic, creating an illusion of a sky-covering mass.

As its own power surged, the multi-headed serpent dashed out violently.

Under the terrifying impact released by the serpent, cracks began to appear on the ground outside the arena.

With a flash of sword light, the summoned ice and snow stirred up the clouds in the sky.

Soon, the solid ice layer that seemed to form a "passage" poured down like a hanging galaxy, accompanied by earth-shattering momentum.

With a rumbling noise, the ice layer above the multiple-headed python turned into aggressively crashing objects from the sky.

The cold brilliance of the ice and snow crazily flickered on the scales of the python's body;

Although the demonic aura continued to surge as the smoke passed by;

But every time this happened, even larger amounts of ice and snow would come, strengthening the destructive power of the ice layer;

Before long, snow and ice in the form of solid state ice even more powerful than a tornado, annihilated the enormous snake containing infinite magical power, piece by piece.

One snake head after another was brutally severed, freezing into ice sculptures before they even hit the ground;

After falling to the ground, they shattered into tiny ice crystals.

In the midst of pain, the python fought desperately!

Before being completely wiped out, a snake head detached from the serpent body under the bursting black blood, and attacked the target directly.

The bloodthirsty giant mouth, filled with killing intent, pierced through the void and ruthlessly bit down on the area where the silhouette was located;

In that moment, the space around the silhouette completely collapsed.

"No matter past or present, I can never like these slippery creatures..."

With a slightly reddened snow neck, the silhouette tilted back in the cold, and in an instant vanished from the original spot.

In a blink of an eye, the enormous snake head arrived at its appointed position and quickly descended.

Its descent was not following the plan, but a sudden and uncontrollable action.

If the snake head had the chance to move its serpent eyes, it would surely notice:

Above its head at this moment, a pair of long legs stood tall, stepping down and accelerating its descent by exerting force.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

After being subjected to a massacre-like treatment, the massive snake head made a bursting sound and exploded two seconds later.

In an instant, the viscous magical liquid scattered in all directions in the air;

Standing above it, with an imposing aura, was a slender figure resembling the second female war goddess reigning inside the imperial city!

At this moment, Ledux on the opposite side wore a sinister smile and lightly pointed a finger that turned black.

Immediately, the previously scattered magical liquid gathered into a viscous beam like syrup, shooting ferociously towards the silhouette.

Seeing the opponent's attack frequency increase, a strong sense of killing intent surged in the silhouette's eyes as well.

With her robes fluttering, the silhouette transformed into a flowing scenery, rushing towards the beam of light.

Without consciously aiming, the jet-black long sword vigorously struck down, fiercely engaging with the beam of light.

Clang clang clang clang!

A long string of sparks scattered from mid-air to both sides.

The void trembled, and the previously unbeatable magical beam was now pushed back a dozen meters.

If it was pushed back a little further, the beam might accidentally strike Ledux in that instant!

Ledux spun around the beam with the fast knife in his hand;

Then, the weapon held between his hands suddenly burst into an astonishing shockwave.

At the same time, the knife in Ledux's grasp violently trembled;

After a breath's time, Ledux's hands cracked;

The flesh and blood within and outside his palm were covered in blood.

Ledux's eyes glinted coldly, and in a sudden movement, he appeared behind the silhouette like a undead being.

The fast knife, containing the ultimate sharpness, pressed down on the ground like a raging flood, oppressing the area beneath their feet.

The blade rushed forward with an indescribable speed, fierce and ruthless.

Blade brimming with powerful magic, pierced through the target's body with violent force.

But strangely enough:

No trace of blood appeared on the figure;

Instead, the figure itself gradually faded away.

Clearly, Ledux's attack had failed.

Due to this sudden turn of events, his pupils shrank slightly.

Ledux sighed inwardly, as his opponent swiftly rotated and launched a counterattack with the sharp edge of a quick blade.

Clang!

Carrying a deep black longsword, enveloped in immense power.

The blade clashed heavily with the sharp quick blade, causing visible ripples to spread in an instant.

The figure held a sharp sword, shining with dazzling brilliance reflected by the falling snow.

And those cold eyes of the same color as the brilliance, remained fixed on Ledux without wavering.

After an instant, the slender arm moved, causing a dazzling light to burst from the outer edge of the sword blade;

The longsword vibrated, instantly transforming into a dozen consecutive sword shadows, targeting the final prey.

Each sword shadow had the power to kill an "Army Breaker" level expert;

Even a true "City Toppling" level opponent would lose their life in successive clashes when faced with the simultaneous attacks of these sword shadows.

Even though Ledux's power surpassed the "City Toppling" level, seeing the overwhelming onslaught, he could only fiercely counter with all his might.

Ledux consolidated his strength, revealing a non-mainstream armor shape;

The armor itself was made using magic, following the same creation principle as the previous weapons.

Clang clang clang clang clang!

The brutal sword shadows mercilessly struck the armor, causing Ledux's figure to retreat continuously without suspense.

While stabilizing his body, Ledux didn't need to look back to understand that he had narrowly avoided being knocked off the arena;

And on the armor covering him, small scratches were visible.

Ledux had used all his strength.

Now, just by estimating, the figure could draw a conclusion:

After using all his strength, the power of this demon clan member had surpassed the Crimson Bishop;

Even if the Crimson Bishop exhausted all means and borrowed the power of an angel, he was still far inferior to Ledux in his current state.

However, despite this, Ledux still couldn't gain the upper hand in the intense battle that took place earlier;

Instead, he was well aware of being clearly suppressed.

At this point, he had no choice but to fight regardless of the consequences!

The reason why the summoned shadow beasts were not frequently used by Ledux before was mainly because:

He intended to fully exploit the shadow's value for the purpose that lay ahead.

Gathering all the magical smokescreen, it formed a swirling vortex, dragging the unsuspecting shadows inside;

After sacrificing the powerful soul, a grand magic was about to be activated.

Magic was classified into sixteen grades, and what Ledux was about to use was a top-grade fourteen-level grand magic.

Even if it meant sacrificing everything, Ledux was determined to settle the score with his opponent and vowed from the depths of his heart:

He must annihilate that troublesome woman completely!
