At that moment, Idate Makoto, who appeared calm on the surface, was actually seething with anger inside.

Borrowing the power of the "Shu-maru" to fight might seem like a matter of course to others, but to Idate…it was an act of abandoning his pride, even sacrificing his dignity.

However, he still did it.

He and the past Juan Meng Huan were really similar, conflicted and struggling between his obsession with victory and his own strong self-esteem.

But in any case, objectively speaking, he was…very strong at this moment.

In his own words—"Strong to a ridiculous extent."

"Stop hiding!" A second later, Idate shouted sternly, "It's just a scratch, come out and fight again!"

With that, he rotated his now white pupils, looking around vigilantly, as if trying to capture something invisible to the naked eye.

"This is far beyond a 'scratch'…" Two seconds later, Juan Meng Huan's response sounded, sounding like…his breathing hadn't completely settled, "My internal organs were almost torn apart by you…"

These two sentences…the voice was erratic and the source was difficult to identify, only the sound was heard, but the person was not seen.

"Ha?" Idate Makoto heard the sound and further taunted, "So, I cut so deep? Sorry, I thought someone with 'phase shift abilities' could at least retreat completely when they used their skills."

Obviously, he not only knew the information of [Juan Meng Huan], but also studied the ability of the character [Corpse Blade as King] in the past; although they were two different characters, they were after all controlled by the same player, and it was normal to learn similar abilities or skills after retraining.

"Speaking of…your ability seems to have progressed to the point where you can hide in the phase space for a long time…" Idate Makoto said, while shifting his gaze to Zhao Ying Wang in the distance, "But what about your teammates…?"

As the voice fell, the blade flashed.

The anger tempered the blade, adding to its ferocity.

Idate Makoto didn't know how long the injured Juan Meng Huan could stay in the phase space, and he didn't plan to wait; taking advantage of his current surge in physical skills, he decided to take down Zhao Ying Wang first.

In the blink of an eye! Idate Makoto stepped forward and flashed, appearing next to Zhao Ying Wang in the blink of an eye, his white blade slashing down like lightning.

However, when the move landed, he heard a "clang"… Idate Makoto's rush attack, which far exceeded Zhao Ying Wang's dynamic vision, was actually blocked.

And the one who blocked him was "himself"—a figure identical to Idate Makoto, faded to white all over, wearing the same clothes and wielding the same weapon, blocking between him and Zhao Ying Wang, parrying his slash.

"What…" In a very short moment, Idate Makoto hesitated because of the scene in front of him, but…that only lasted for a moment.

The rampant killing intent had overwhelmed everything, and Idate didn't even need to think about what he was facing, and took the next action.

Shua shua shua…

Suddenly, the sound of breaking wind rose, and a raging wave of blade nets unfolded again.

"Hahahaha! Die for me!" Idate Makoto, who had transformed into a white demon, was undoubtedly also affected by the drug in terms of emotions; when wielding his knife, he not only blurted out his killing desire, but also instinctively revealed a ferocious smile on his face.

The blade energy bloomed angrily, as violent as a storm, and the killing thoughts turned into a tide, pressing in mightily.

Under Idate's frenzied attack, the other "Idate Makoto" only parried for about five seconds before being unable to withstand its edge, and was chopped into pieces by the black and white double blades; and when the chopped flesh and blood fell in the air, they turned into shredded paper and tiny lead wires…revealing their original form.

"Hey, hey…I've been making paper figures here for a long time, and they broke after defending a few times…" Zhao Ying Wang immediately cried out in his heart, he was just about to command this [Copy Paper Figure] to deal with Takeda Tomoe, when Idate rushed over and chopped the paper figure into pieces.

Of course, this paper figurine didn't die in vain, at least its "automatic defense reaction" saved Zhao Ying Wang's life. If Lao Zhao hadn't been able to make the paper figurine before Idate's突击, then he would have been in a lot of trouble.

"So it's made of paper… Humph…" Killing a summon, of course, could not satisfy the current Idate, he immediately shot at Zhao Ying Wang again, "At least let me see some blood!"

The stern shout rose, and the double blades advanced again.

The force of the attack left no room for respite.

"Okay!" The moment this "okay" was uttered, Juan Meng Huan's figure appeared in the air, returning to the battlefield.

Bang—

Strong edges intersected, and the world shook.

Juan Meng Huan used the long halberd in his hand, leaned in and rushed between Zhao Ying Wang and Idate Makoto, and slashed down, breaking the momentum of the sword.

At this moment, he was finally able to stand in a combat space suitable for the long halberd and show his style.

However, the current Idate Makoto had surpassed Juan Meng Huan in terms of speed and strength, and the gap had reached a point where it could not be filled with "skill".

"Too weak! Too weak, too weak, too weak, too weak!"

After seriously exchanging two moves, Idate began to quickly repeat the same sentence, and his hands kept approaching forward with chaotic sword techniques that made no sense…

Juan Meng Huan knew… Idate Makoto was deliberately abandoning his moves and instead using this unreasonable "random chop" to attack, in order to prove that he was stronger than his opponent.

But knowing it was one thing, Juan Meng Huan had no way to reverse this gap in hard power; he could only do his best, supporting and resisting with an indomitable resilience.

"Lao Zhao, I don't know when I'll be able to hold on." While parrying and retreating, Juan Meng Huan quickly reminded his teammate.

The core meaning of this sentence can be translated as—if you dawdle any longer, I'll die for you in minutes.

As for Zhao Ying Wang…in fact, without Juan Meng Huan's reminder, he had already rushed towards Takeda Tomoe.

After this stalemate, the battle situation had clearly become quite favorable for [Sengoku]; Zhao Ying Wang analyzed it—he couldn't solve Takeda in a short time by relying on the Platinum Stone Golem alone, and the situation didn't allow him to use the summon with a "preparation time of more than a minute", so he was only left with the option of personally going into battle.

"You're actually taking the initiative to approach…" On the other hand, Takeda Tomoe naturally noticed Zhao Ying Wang's movements.

To her, this was simply a delightful development; in the battle just now, she had been suppressed by the Stone Golem all the time, and couldn't even get close to Zhao Ying Wang, but she didn't expect the other party to send himself to her at this moment, so she…

“…Then I won’t be polite.” At this moment, a hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Takeda Tomoe's mouth; she feinted an attack with her hand, and tapped lightly with her foot, creating a space of several feet between herself and the Stone Golem in the gap of less than two seconds.

Then, she stuck her katana into the ground and activated her title ability towards Zhao Ying Wang, who was approaching—[Rakshasa Halberd Sky Pillar].
