Chapter 34 Two Minds, One Artifact

Brother Xiaotian stood up. Although he was seriously injured, he was not in critical condition. He took his younger brother's arm and asked, "Aotian, are you alright?"

Aotian stood up and said, "Brother, I'm fine."

Xiaotian patted his brother's shoulder gently to comfort him. "Aotian, that little girl's strength definitely belongs to the top tier of A+ combat power."

"Because once a human's strength reaches the A+ level, their power will undergo a qualitative leap. That's why they are called Leapers."

"These Leapers can compete with our Illusion Beasts because they have an energy called Trans-Spatial Quantum Particles in their bodies. After this energy perfectly merges with the Leaper, corresponding energy will be generated during the Leaper's movements or battles."

"The energy generated during the Leaper's movements is diverse, and the various energies can be transformed into each other."

"This energy will not disappear; it will only be transformed from one form to another, or transferred from one object to another."

"As the Trans-Spatial Quantum Particles in these Leapers' bodies gradually increase, condense, and finally compress during continuous battles."

"And when it is compressed to the extreme, this energy will undergo a qualitative change. That long spear stuck in the ground should be the embodiment of the Trans-Spatial Quantum Particles after undergoing a qualitative change."

"Only Leapers who have reached A+ combat power can materialize their own exclusive weapons."

"Brother! Then let's show some of our strength too!"

Brother Xiaotian nodded.

Aotian tapped his feet twice in the air, and a pair of pure white and bright greaves appeared on his calves and feet. Brother Xiaotian manifested a pair of crystal-clear obsidian dragon-patterned gauntlets on his hands.

"Aotian, the pride and dignity of the Dragon Clan do not allow us to bully the few with the many. So... I'll go first!"

*Whoosh!* The Illusion Beast Xiaotian instantly appeared in front of Ying Ning. The human and beast attacked simultaneously, exchanging punches and elbow strikes!

*Bang!* When the compression generated by the impact of their powerful forces reached a critical value, the force instantly shattered the surrounding ground.

The next moment, a punch was thrown. With the blessing of the dragon-patterned gauntlets, the Illusion Beast Xiaotian's speed had been significantly improved.

*Boom!* A punch sent Ying Ning flying into the sky.

The Illusion Beast teleported behind Ying Ning and punched her down again.

Just as Ying Ning was falling rapidly, the Illusion Beast Xiaotian curled his lower leg tightly against his thigh and delivered a top-down knee strike from the sky, hitting Ying Ning.

Then, Xiaotian grabbed Ying Ning's hair and threw a punch straight at her face.

Ying Ning hurriedly crossed her arms to block the punch. While blocking the punch, Ying Ning twisted her hands, grabbed the Illusion Beast's wrist, pulled hard, and landed a knee strike on Xiaotian. She then flung the Illusion Beast away several meters.

The battle between the two sides gradually intensified.

Ying Ning thought, "They could clearly attack me at the same time, but why do they have to fight me one-on-one? Or are they trying to trick me?"

At this time, the Illusion Beast Xiaotian's strength had been significantly improved after manifesting his exclusive weapon. This first round was clearly just a warm-up.

The Illusion Beast Xiaotian, full of fighting spirit and strength, did not seem to be affected by Ying Ning's gravity field.

*Whoosh!*

The Illusion Beast Xiaotian flashed again, delivering a heavy punch.

*Bang!*

Ying Ning was sent flying straight out.

The Illusion Beast did not stop. It flashed to a point ahead of Ying Ning's trajectory.

It violently twisted its hips, flipped its back, and used the momentum to transfer the force to its right arm, which was still accelerating.

This strike from the Illusion Beast Xiaotian was clearly its finishing move.

It was a signature killing move consisting of combat strength level + speed + exclusive weapon = destructive power!

*Boom!*

The killing blow landed! Smoke immediately billowed up.

The Illusion Beast Xiaotian thought, "It hit! It hit squarely!"

But the next moment, Ying Ning appeared inside the Illusion Beast's attack range. She lightly tugged with her small hand!

*Pfft!*

The Illusion Beast Xiaotian's left arm was severed by something. The Illusion Beast, having lost an arm, felt a sense of foreboding and thought, "Just now! My punch clearly hit. And… how did she cut off my arm?"

Ying Ning giggled and said, "Have you noticed something strange? Haha. No need to guess, the arm that was cut off was my gravity thread. This thread is not for mending clothes."

"The destructive power of this thread is enough to cut through any weapon or armor. Your punch just now did hit. But you didn't hit me, you hit my spear. Oh, by the way, my spear is called Peng Ran Xin Dong (Sudden Heartbeat)."

Ying Ning finished speaking and gave an alluring smile.

*Whoosh!*

Ying Ning flashed behind the Illusion Beast Xiaotian. She slightly bent her legs, gently stepped on the Illusion Beast Xiaotian's back, made a strangling motion with her hands, and suddenly straightened her legs, pulled her hands back forcefully, and leaned back.

*Pfft!*

The Illusion Beast Xiaotian's head was instantly cut off by the gravity thread. The cut was not only smooth but also very clean.

Just like that, an Illusion Beast with a combat power level of A+ died here.

The younger brother, Aotian, saw that the situation was bad and ran away.

The corners of Ying Ning's mouth slightly turned up. "Want to run? Not so easy!"

*Whoosh!*

Ying Ning flashed to block the Illusion Beast Aotian. Then, Ying Ning casually tugged.

*Pfft!* The Illusion Beast Aotian's left leg was cut off by Ying Ning.

The Illusion Beast Aotian, having lost a leg, fell to the ground.

Helplessness and despair, like a death knell, like a nightmare, were corroding its last bit of life.

Ying Ning looked at the Illusion Beast coldly and pulled her arm back again.

*Pfft!* The Illusion Beast Aotian's head was also cut off.

Ying Ning looked at the Illusion Beast's limbs scattered all over the ground and muttered to herself, "Oops, I forgot to tell you two idiots. I… don't just have one Peng Ran Xin Dong (Sudden Heartbeat)."

"This little ancestor of yours is ambidextrous, possessing two attack modes and weapons at the same time."

Suddenly! The sky began to be covered with dark clouds, and pieces of dark clouds seemed to be pressing down on Ying Ning's head.

It was pitch black, and deafening thunder and dazzling lightning came from time to time, giving people a terrifying feeling.

In a moment, the sky became darker and darker. The dark clouds rapidly pressed toward the low altitude.

The clouds also began to get thicker and thicker, and the sky seemed to get lower and lower. For a time, the sky was dark and the earth was dim.

Within the black clouds, a gray dragon-shaped Illusion Beast slowly descended. The gray Illusion Beast was wearing a suit of bright mysterious gray armor, and the two samurai swords at its waist faintly exuded an invisible kingly aura.

At this moment, the world seemed to be swallowed by darkness.
