I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

Chapter 373 A Battle Beyond One's Level! The Taiyi Sword Immortal's Resolve!

"Go ahead, show the full power of your legendary class and gain experience. Even if you lose, I'll be there to bail you out."

After hearing Lin Yuan's words, everyone suddenly realized what was going on and fell silent.

Lin Yuan is painstakingly working to address the weaknesses in the team!

He didn't care about winning or losing this game at all, because he was absolutely confident that he could turn the tide in the later games.

He wants to use the top talents of the Free Federation as whetstones for his team members!

The surprise and unease in Ji Qingyue's eyes gradually faded.

Lin Yuan's words, "Even if the sky falls, I'll be there to protect you," were like a reassuring pill, instantly dispelling all the gloom in her heart.

Instead, there was an unprecedented firmness, determination, and soaring sword intent.

"I understand, Captain. I will never back down. Even if I lose, I will take a piece of him!"

Ji Qingyue took a deep breath and placed her hand on the hilt of the ancient sword at her waist.

With a light touch of her toes, she moved with the grace of a celestial being descending to earth, gracefully leaping onto the enormous arena.

[Name: Ji Qingyue]

[Occupation: Taiyi Sword Immortal]

[Level: 52]

Seeing that the Chinese team actually sent a delicate-looking girl who was only level 52 to the stage.

Jack on the other side was stunned for a moment, then burst into a deafening, unrestrained laugh.

"Hahaha! Have the Chinese gone mad?!"

"Level 52? And she's just a delicate little girl? Are you trying to use your beauty to get me to go easy on her?"

The officers of the Free Commonwealth in the audience burst into laughter and whistles.

"It seems the Chinese team really has no one left; they've even sent out these filler, decorative substitutes!"

"It's somewhat understandable that John lost to a level 58 archer, but if Jack can't even handle this level 52 girl, he might as well just die!"

"Jack! Show no mercy! Smash that pretty little face of hers and break her limbs!"

He was surrounded by a barrage of ridicule, vulgar whistles, and disdainful glances.

Ji Qingyue did not respond with any words.

She simply drew the sword from her waist slowly.

It was an ancient sword, its entire body as clear as autumn water, radiating a faint blue light—the Taiyi Flowing Light Sword.

As the longsword was drawn, Ji Qingyue's eyes turned icy cold, and her entire demeanor underwent a dramatic transformation in an instant.

"Enough talk, take this!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Ji Qingyue launched the first attack.

"Taiyi Sword Technique: Splitting Light and Fleeting Shadow!"

Her figure instantly transformed into more than a dozen indistinguishable afterimages on the arena.

The Taiyi Sword Immortal's mobility was on full display at this moment, so fast that even the air seemed to whistle sharply.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Qingyue had already rushed in front of Jack.

The Taiyi Flowing Light Sword in his hand drew an extremely mysterious cyan arc in the air.

The sword blade spewed forth a three-foot-long, sharp aura, aimed directly at Jack's throat, heart, and eyes—vital points.

"Your speed is quite fast, and your footwork is rather unpredictable. Unfortunately, under such absolute level suppression, your strength is too weak!"

Jack sneered; he didn't even make a move to dodge.

He raised his thick right arm, encased in bio-armor, and forcefully blocked the path of the sword tip.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

A series of extremely crisp metallic clanging sounds rang out.

Ji Qingyue's proud Taiyi Gang Qi thrust struck Jack's arm, leaving only a few shallow white marks.

It couldn't even penetrate the opponent's outermost bio-armor!

"What?!"

Ji Qingyue was startled, her wrist slightly numb from the enormous recoil.

Although she knew that a six-level difference would result in a huge attribute suppression.

But she never expected that even breaking through the defenses of her legendary Taiyi Sword Qi would be so difficult!

Bio-armored fighters are a profession known for their defense and physical strength, with ridiculously high resistance to physical attacks.

"Little girl, I've already tickled your itch, now it's my turn!"

Jack grinned maliciously and clenched his left fist tightly.

A blinding green biochemical gas instantly condensed on his fist, emitting a sizzling corrosive sound.

"Biohazard Burst Punch!"

Jack's fist, accompanied by a terrifying sonic boom that tore through the air, slammed down towards Ji Qingyue's face.

This punch was extremely powerful; the force of the punch even compressed the surrounding air into a wall of air.

If hit head-on, Ji Qingyue, at level 52, would definitely be seriously injured and fall to the ground, or even be disfigured by the biochemical gas.

"Taiyi Sword Formation - Sword Control as Shield!"

At the critical moment of life and death, Ji Qingyue demonstrated the extremely high combat skills expected of a legendary professional.

Instead of taking the hit head-on, she used the recoil from the previous thrust to retreat swiftly like a nimble swift.

At the same time, the Flowing Light Sword in her hand flew out and split into nine in mid-air.

Nine cyan qi swords instantly intertwined in front of her to form an ancient and profound Tai Chi sword shield.

"boom""

Jack's heavy punch slammed into the Tai Chi sword and shield.

The moment the two made contact, a powerful shockwave erupted.

Although the Taiyi Sword Formation was profound, it shattered in less than a second under the overwhelming force!

The violent force of the punches and the biochemical toxic gas swept past Ji Qingyue's body.

Ji Qingyue was forced back more than ten steps by the force of the punch before she could barely regain her balance.

She felt a surge of blood rushing to her chest, and a trickle of blood flowed down the corner of her mouth.

"Such terrifying strength and physical resilience—"

Ji Qingyue was panting heavily, her expression growing increasingly serious.

This was not an equal battle at all; her opponent completely overwhelmed her in terms of strength, defense, and level.

"You dodged pretty fast, like a slippery mouse."

Jack twisted his neck, a flash of impatient rage in his eyes.

"However, I'm tired of this game of hide-and-seek. Lie down obediently and let me take your bones off one by one!"

Jack let out a beastly roar and kicked his legs out.

The arena floor shattered instantly, and he charged towards Ji Qingyue like a heavy cannonball.

This time, he was twice as fast as before!

"We can't fight head-on; we can only rely on the subtleties of the Taiyi Sword Technique for hit-and-run tactics!"

Ji Qingyue's mind raced, and she immediately made the most correct judgment.

She abandoned the direct confrontation and brought the Taiyi Sword Immortal's movement techniques to their fullest potential.

On the arena, a ethereal cyan sword shadow and a cloud of dark green biochemical poison gas engaged in a fierce chase.

Ji Qingyue was dancing on the edge of a knife.

She managed to narrowly avoid Jack's deadly bio-powerful punch every time.

At the same time, she used various tricky angles to continuously leave small sword marks on Jack's body.

"Taiyi Flowing Cloud Slash!"

"Taiyi Transforms into the Pure Sword!"

Sharp, cyan sword energy continuously slashed at Jack's bio-armor.

Although the level difference prevented him from inflicting fatal damage, the stinging and irritating sensation, like being constantly stung by countless wasps, only fueled Jack's rage.

"Damn Chinese bugs! All you do is run away like a coward?!"

Jack was thoroughly enraged by Ji Qingyue's slippery fighting style, and his patience had run out.

He stopped and pounded his chest with both fists.

"Let me show you the pinnacle of the Free Federation's technology!"

"G-Type Biohazard Rampage!"

Accompanied by a painful and frantic roar.

The biochemical agent hidden in Jack's body has been fully activated!

His body instantly swelled up a lot, and his height increased to 2.5 meters.

Thick, bluish-green blood vessels bulged on the skin like earthworms, looking ferocious and terrifying.

His eyes turned a mindless crimson, and the fluctuations of his magical power surged to a heart-stopping level, even faintly touching the threshold of level fifty-nine!

In his berserk state, Jack experiences another leap in speed and strength.

"This time, let's see where you hide! Die!"

Jack appeared beside Ji Qingyue as if he had teleported.

The heavy fist, filled with highly concentrated poison gas and several times larger than a clay pot, slammed into Ji Qingyue's abdomen at a speed that exceeded her reaction limit.

"Oh no! It's too fast!"

Ji Qingyue's pupils contracted sharply. This punch had blocked all her escape routes, and she had no time to use her movement techniques to dodge.

"Taiyi Gang Qi - Innate Limitless Array!"

In that life-or-death moment, Ji Qingyue gritted her teeth and unleashed the strongest defensive trump card she currently possessed.

An extremely pure innate Taiyi Qi erupted from her body in an instant.

In an instant, the air within a ten-meter radius was filled with countless crisscrossing sword energies.

A Bagua diagram radiating a dazzling blue light forcefully blocked her path, attempting to withstand this devastating attack.

"Smash it!!"

Jack's ferocious punch slammed into the Wuji Array Diagram without reservation.

"Crack—Boom!"

It was accompanied by a crisp cracking sound.

Ji Qingyue's legendary strongest defense, which she was so proud of, was crushed by the absolute power of the level 58 berserk state.

It lasted only two seconds before shattering like fragile glass!

"puff!"

The violent force of the fist passed through the shattered array and struck Ji Qingyue.

Ji Qingyue suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

She traced a tragic arc in mid-air before crashing heavily onto the edge of the ring.

The immense impact felt as if her internal organs had shifted, and her bones ached so badly they felt like they were about to fall apart.

Even the hand holding the sword was trembling violently and uncontrollably.

"Qingyue!"

Seeing this, Shui Nuo and Su Xiaoxiao in the audience couldn't help but gasp, their eyes filled with heartache.

Lei Kuang's eyes turned bloodshot, and he gripped his battle axe tightly, wishing he could rush onto the stage and chop Jack into mincemeat.

But Lin Yuan reached out and firmly stopped them, his eyes fixed on the stubborn girl on the stage.

"Don't go. The battle isn't over yet, and she hasn't given up. This is a hurdle she has to overcome."

On the stage, Jack looked at Ji Qingyue, who was lying on the ground, coughing up blood, and let out a cruel laugh.

"Hahaha! You pathetic piece of trash! Level 52 dares to embarrass yourself on the Free Federation's arena!"

Jack walked step by step toward Ji Qingyue, his fist glowing with a deadly green light once again.

"You were lucky you didn't die just now. Now, I'm going to finish you off completely and twist your head off!"

Hearing Jack's arrogant footsteps, Ji Qingyue, who was lying on the ground, bit her lip tightly.

Blood streamed down her lips, staining her fair chin and clothes.

"Am I doomed to lose? —" Ji Qingyue felt a wave of dizziness.

The six-level difference in rank and the rampant biochemical power were like an insurmountable mountain, making it hard for her to breathe.

But at that moment, she suddenly recalled what Lin Yuan had said to her before she went on stage.

"You must learn to survive and fight under absolute hierarchical suppression, and find even the slightest opening under suffocating pressure —"

Find the flaw!

Ji Qingyue suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze quickly sweeping over Jack.

In his bio-rage state, Jack's defenses appear impenetrable, like an iron plate.

But Ji Qingyue keenly noticed.

As his body swelled to an extreme degree, the bio-armor was stretched open.

A tiny crack appeared near an energy center at the back of his neck, where it connects to the mechanical spine!

That was the pipeline node for delivering the biochemical agent, and also the weakest point in his entire body's defenses!

"That's it!"

A glint of madness and determination flashed in Ji Qingyue's eyes.

Even if she loses, she will tear a piece of flesh from the opponent to prove that the Chinese National Team has no guts!

As Jack drew closer and raised his blade, Ji Qingyue endured the excruciating pain throughout her body and gripped the Taiyi Flowing Light Sword tightly with both hands.

She closed her eyes and poured all the remaining magical power in her body, as well as her vital energy, into the sword without reservation.

"The Supreme Sword of Taiyi - One Sword Breaks All Laws!"

This is the ultimate killing move of the Taiyi Sword Immortal; it's either success or death!

The longsword emitted a crisp, piercing sound that seemed to split rocks, and burst forth with an unprecedentedly brilliant azure light, as if to illuminate the entire arena.

"Go to hell!"

Jack walked up to Ji Qingyue, raised his heavy fist high, and slammed it down with an aura of destruction.

At this critical moment!

Ji Qingyue, who was already seriously injured and lying on the ground, slid out with incredible flexibility, her whole body close to the ground.

Like a streak of blue lightning flying close to the ground, she narrowly passed between Jack's legs and arrived directly behind him!

Without any hesitation or delay, Ji Qingyue concentrated the last of her strength into this sword strike.

The Taiyi Flowing Light Sword transformed into a blinding, extremely cold stream of light, piercing precisely and ruthlessly into the tiny crack in Jack's armor behind his neck!
