Cohabitation with Sword Spirit-Chapter 201 - 169: Maneuver (Double - )_3

In the calculations, Shen Qingming's evasion success rate would not exceed 10%!

Tsk, as expected, anyone who can eliminate a top contender won't be a simple opponent!

Whether it's a 14-year-old girl or a pet idol who only knows singing and dancing, standing on the competition stage makes them a formidable enemy worthy of going all out against! Missing one strike is not a problem; he still has plenty of moves to follow!

At this moment, Shan Heqiu already regarded Shen Qingming as an opponent of Li Wanqing's level, ready to risk his life to win.

But he soon realized that his so-called resolve was rather childish...

——

On the other side, Wang Jiu piloted Shen Qingming, nimbly dodging the sudden onslaught of the Thunderous Light Pillar at the first moment.

If it were someone else, they might be caught off guard by this sudden attack, but in the eyes of the Sword Spirit, the already-exposed-undercover Shan Heqiu had an almost unguarded flow of True Essence inside him, so dodging wasn't difficult when anticipated.

The challenge was the subsequent response. Shan Heqiu missed his strike, yet his state of mind remained calm. Although the Thunder Pool within had been cleaned out and was hard to refill in a short time, the Thunderous Power on his surface still formed a powerful armor, as daunting as a spiked turtle, leaving no easy attack angle.

Meanwhile, Shen Qingming's mount capabilities were limited; her frenzy stance could only sustain a single incense duration. If victory couldn't be achieved before exhaustion, the absolute performance gap would be difficult to offset with skill... Not to mention, this remote control technique was also a completely new experience for Wang Jiu; his piloting skills were far from as magical as his swordsmanship.

Thus, Wang Jiu did not let his guard down at all. After dodging, he drove Shen Qingming forward without hesitation, stepping so hard that the ground of the arena quivered slightly, and a transparent film on the ground bloomed with lotus-like ripples.

And Shen Qingming herself darted towards Shan Heqiu like lightning. Although barehanded, she charged forward with an imposing momentum, as if bringing an overwhelming army.

Meanwhile, Wang Jiu heard a mental transmission from his mount: "Hey, I think my leg is broken..."

"It's alright; the human body has 206 bones."

"What a thoughtless response!?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"And you now have 207."

"Just you wait..."

The mental conversation lasted only a split second. In the next instant, Wang Jiu had already piloted Shen Qingming close to Shan Heqiu, with that layer of glaring Thunderous Armor just before them, stinging the eyes uncomfortably.

At the same time, Shan Heqiu also noticed the unexpected sudden assault of his opponent.

Although baffled by why Shen Qingming rushed into such a self-destructive path, this kind of close-quarters assault was precisely what he hoped for.

If someone truly believed that his True Essence wasn't enough to protect him after releasing the initial Thunderous Light Pillar... then he'd definitely let them know that, no matter when, the Young Manor Master of Unmoving Manor is most adept at defensive counterattacks!

Thanks to Wang Jiu's support, Shen Qingming's reaction speed could barely keep up with the battle changes. Seeing Wang Jiu approaching unhesitatingly, she nervously asked, "Wang Jiu, you're not planning for me to charge barehanded, are you..."

Wang Jiu explained, "Using weapons makes no difference; the immovable thunder doesn't care about conductor properties. Even if you wear a full suit of rubber armor, you'll still be penetrated."

"So we're not even wearing rubber armor!?"

Seeing Wang Jiu steering her, right hand clenched tightly into a fist, aiming at Shan Heqiu's thunderous, bramble-like chest to pound heavily... Shen Qingming almost let out a scream. Whether Shan Heqiu would die from the hit was uncertain, but she definitely would be electrocuted close to death...

Wang Jiu used True Essence to stimulate the berserk stance brought by the Immovable Tyrant Body. Although the explosive power was significantly amplified, it did not enhance defense or life force, making Wang Jiu's combat style rather...

"Qingming, you have 207 bones; you should have more backbone than anyone else."

"You're still talking!?"

In the conversation, Wang Jiu piloted Shen Qingming to slam her heavy punch into Shan Heqiu's chest.

Electric light rampaged, thorns surged; in Wang Jiu's perception, Shen Qingming's life force suddenly plummeted by one-third, the rebounding Thunderous Power spread through the body, scorching the mount's innards.

On the other hand, being punched in the chest, Shan Heqiu's Qi Blood churned, vision swinging between brightness and darkness, and his True Essence operation almost collapsed.

How can this little girl be so immensely strong?!

The True Essence on the punch was extremely thin, merely Wind-Rising Realm level, but this unreasonable brute force felt as if an enormous gorilla refined into a spirit from Cyan Peak Mountain!

Shan Heqiu assumed that with his physique, he certainly couldn't withstand three to five punches, and that crazy girl, bearing clear thunder rebound marks, showed a scornful and indifferent expression without the willingness to perish together...

In an instant, Shan Heqiu grew fearful, unwilling to continue with raw physical combat. Following a shift in Divine Sense, his internal True Essence flow changed accordingly, converging to his feet, preparing to unveil another trump card, to distance with Thunderbolt Step and engage Shen Qingming from afar.

Of course, Wang Jiu wouldn't give him the chance to delay. Piloting Shen Qingming, he used the charred left arm to forcefully grab Shan Heqiu's hair and continued to punch, hitting critical spots such as the chest, abdomen, and throat relentlessly.

On the first punch, Shan Heqiu could still barely maintain the True Essence circulation path, while using an arm to shield his head and face, attempting to amplify the backlash power of the Thunderous Armor. But after the second and third punches landed, he began to falter under the pain, his Divine Sense scattering, and his consciousness blurring.
