He spoke with a calm, even cold, tone.

To others, these might have seemed like mere comments, but to Shiva, they were more like a declaration.

Although Shiva didn't know how Feng Bujue had eliminated the damage caused by the Eye of Destruction, he understood that the moment Jue-Ge calmly uttered the word "rash," the scales of victory had begun to shift.

*Chi*—

*Chi*—

In the next second, two sharp sounds of air being torn apart rang out simultaneously.

【Lingxi Yizhi】(Numinous Rhino Finger) – against – 【Jianya Shenjin】(Sharp Fang Divine Force)!

This was a contest between two A-grade skills, a duel between two top players.

Unfortunately, Shiva's movements were a step too slow. Because... for those few seconds just now, he thought he had already won...

His thinking wasn't wrong; this wasn't a misjudgment.

Logically speaking, wounds pierced by the Eye of Destruction's beam... were absolutely impossible to heal. Or rather, the wound had already completed the "healing" process in a fragmented form the moment it was struck.

The Eye of Destruction's attack was impossible to defend against, extremely difficult to dodge, and did not cause continuous bleeding, but it also couldn't be repaired with items or skills. Being pierced through the limbs by this attack was one thing; at most, it would create a severed limb within a second. But hitting the internal organs... would undoubtedly lead to the player's rapid death.

In short, the power of this Eye of Destruction was, as Feng Bujue said, "Seemingly unremarkable, plain, but in reality, extremely fierce and evil, unstoppable."

Therefore, when Shiva saw Feng Bujue's chest being pierced, his first reaction was... the victory was set. Thus, he became somewhat lax... and it was this brief moment of relaxation that affected his reaction and movements.

In an instant, the difference in speed, even just a fraction, determined the outcome of this exchange.

【Lingxi Yizhi】(Numinous Rhino Finger) landed on its opponent faster than 【Jianya Shenjin】(Sharp Fang Divine Force), and the location it struck... was the scapula.

Perhaps this attack wouldn't cause too much damage to Shiva's survival points, but it successfully shattered 【Jianya Shenjin】(Sharp Fang Divine Force) completely.

After being struck in the shoulder, Shiva's arm would naturally be affected, and the direction of his finger's forward thrust involuntarily shifted by an inch. The power concentrated at his fingertip had also lost most of its strength and dissipated completely within two seconds.

Even Shiva had to admit that Feng Bujue's attack was exquisite. This guy must have calculated his opponent's reaction speed and counterattack method before making his move, and then launched his attack.

"Hmph... admirable!" In the next second, Shiva chuckled coldly and continued, "Unfortunately... the power of this finger isn't enough!"

Having said that, he regained his balance in mid-air and immediately retaliated with 【Zhaiyue Zhi Yan】(Moon-Snatching Flame) with his other arm.

"I thought I could cripple this arm..." Feng Bujue stepped back into the air, retreating half a step, easily dodging the opponent's slightly slower move, "So the damage is only to this extent..." His eyes flashed rapidly, and he quickly analyzed the reason, "Oh... I see, you barely managed to withstand it with 【Huti Huichen】(Aura of Ashes)..."

"You seem to know my skills like the back of your hand..." Shiva took advantage of the remaining duration of 【Yukong】(Sky Control) and chased after him again, "You must have done a lot of homework before challenging me."

"Heh... who knows..." Feng Bujue replied with a noncommittal remark, because he didn't want to, and was too lazy to, explain to the other party that he could see through the data.

"Then you should also know the effects of my remaining two stone discs..." Shiva asked another probing question, while simultaneously launching a 【Feiyan Quan】(Flying Flame Fist), maintaining the momentum of suppressing his opponent.

On Feng Bujue's side, although he only had one leg that could move, he still skillfully used the instant-activation technique of 【Lingshi Jushen Shu-Gai】(Spiritual Consciousness Gathering Body Technique - Modified) in conjunction with Moonwalk to dodge the attack.

"Yes, I know." Jue-Ge said as he dodged, "The effect of the Sun Stone Disc, 【Rimian】(Corona)... can attach a protective shield with an effect similar to 【Yueleng】(Moon Prism) to a teammate other than yourself. Obviously, this move is meaningless in a one-on-one fight." He paused, secretly activating a skill, and continued, "However... the effect of the last stone disc, 【Yanmie】(Annihilation), is indeed a tricky problem for me." His tone changed slightly, "Of course... I think you won't use that move until I've pushed you to the brink of death."

Before the words could fade, a massive, purplish-golden spiritual energy erupted from behind Jue-Ge.

Ma Sun, manifest!

"Oh? So you've finally summoned this guy..." Shiva looked up at the giant shadow of the spiritual general, his expression shifting, "If I'm not mistaken... you plan to use this to expand your attack range and reverse the offensive and defensive of this battle, right?" As he spoke, he took out a long scroll (Japanese swords with a total length of 180-210cm can be called "Nagamaki," an ancient weapon that appeared in the mid-Edo period) from his knapsack, "But you should also know... if we're talking about long weapons, my 【Xiuwu Canxiao】(Rusted Mist Remnant Cloud) will definitely not be inferior to the spiritual energy weapon in the hands of your summon."

【Name: Xiuwu Canxiao】(Rusted Mist Remnant Cloud)

【Type: Weapon】

【Quality: Legendary】

【Attack Power: Unknown】

【Attribute: Poison】

【Effect: Xiuwu Canxiao deals fixed poison damage to its user every second, equivalent to 0.15% of the user's maximum survival points; The attack power of Xiuwu Canxiao depends on the user's current survival point percentage. The lower the survival points, the higher the attack power; Every slash made by Xiuwu Canxiao can extend an "Invisible Poison Slash." The range of the Invisible Poison Slash depends on the length of time the user has been continuously poisoned. The longer the time, the larger the range; Enemies directly hit by Xiuwu Canxiao or hit by the Invisible Poison Slash will be immediately poisoned. The severity of the poison depends on the number of times the target has been hit by Xiuwu Canxiao. The basic toxicity after the first hit is a loss of 0.2% of maximum survival points per second, and each subsequent hit doubles this effect.】

【Equipment Requirements: S in Fighting Specialization, Activation of Spiritual Arts Specialization, Successfully cleared at least three Nightmare difficulty scenarios, Bound upon pickup】

【Note: No item or skill can remove or reduce the poison damage caused by Xiuwu Canxiao. However, as long as the user dies or stops touching the item, the reaction value of all effects will be reset. Maintaining a distance of more than one kilometer from the item for twelve minutes can also get rid of the effects of the poison.】

The above were the attributes of Shiva's weapon.

And Feng Bujue... was also very clear about the characteristics of this weapon.

At this moment, Jue-Ge seemed calm and composed, facing the enemy without fear, but in reality... he was already a person with a crippled right leg, no sensation in his chest, and only 9% of his survival points remaining.

In his state of being like a candle in the wind, if he were to be grazed by 【Xiuwu Canxiao】(Rusted Mist Remnant Cloud)... the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Who would fight you with long weapons..." When Shiva rushed in front of him, Feng Bujue raised his spiritual power to its peak, and Ma Sun's golden body glowed with it, "Taste Ma Sun's ultimate move!"
