Chapter 1129

The sudden change left Yun Mo frozen in place, unable to snap out of her shock for a long time.

"It's you!"

The one-eyed mercenary Lord Keli recognized the black-clad woman at once—last time they fought, she had clearly been gravely wounded by him, yet now…

His gaze swept to her abdomen, but it now appeared completely restored.

It had only been two days—how could this be?

"Were you also part of the experiment?" The moment the words left his mouth, Lord Keli dismissed them—"Impossible. The failures were all supposed to be dead; there couldn't be any survivors."

What's impossible? Everything is possible!

General Ji Xia silently recorded every word he spoke, her brow furrowed—his words suggested some kind of experiment. Were they using slaves as test subjects?

These damned bastards!

Fire blazed again in General Ji Xia's eyes.

Seeing her condition, Lord Keli grew more certain she was a failed experiment who had somehow survived—and awakened the drug's power within her.

She had come back for revenge.

He gripped the greatsword summoned from his space ring, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

"This time, I won't hold back—you must die!"

"I'll return those words to you—this time, I'll kill you!" General Ji Xia drew her second waist blade; her furious twin blades were now fully armed.

"It's time to awaken, my power!"

The one-eyed mercenary didn't know what power she had awakened, so he sought only to strike her down in one blow.

He unleashed his inner strength; his pupils sharpened into beastly slits, coarse manes sprouted across his face, fangs protruded from his lips, his power surged exponentially, and his body swelled to over two meters tall.

The ground beneath his feet shattered outward in an instant; Lord Keli leapt high into the air, his massive half-beast form gripping the greatsword as he brought it crashing down toward General Ji Xia below.

One strike—fatal!

The instant General Ji Xia sensed his anomaly, she switched to her heavy sword and gathered momentum on the spot.

As Lord Keli brought his greatsword down from above, General Ji Xia's heavy sword reached its peak charge—and she slashed upward with full force.

"Sky-Shattering Slash!"

Boom!

This clash of blades was not merely a contest of weapons—it was a battle of spiritual energy and strength within the warriors themselves.

The explosive shockwave radiated outward; the initial surge of spiritual energy shattered all the wooden prison cells surrounding them, knocking the imprisoned slaves unconscious.

"Haven't you left yet?"

General Ji Xia glanced back at Yun Mo and Rong Rong, shouting at them—she was holding the line here, yet they were still standing there like fools?

"Oh, oh."

Yun Mo snapped out of her daze and quickly dragged Rong Rong away from this place of chaos.

On the other side, the one-eyed mercenary could only watch helplessly as another failure escaped—he knew now, they were allies!

Yet his sword momentum matched hers perfectly, and their power was evenly matched.

He could do nothing.

He suddenly regretted his boss's earlier suggestion to reinforce his team—but he had refused it!

Sensing a fleeting moment of hesitation in her opponent, General Ji Xia pushed forward with her last remaining strength, hurling her body directly into the blade's edge.

The stalemate of sword momentum shattered instantly.

The force of the collision seemed to drain the last of Lord Keli's strength—he staggered backward several steps.

General Ji Xia would not let such a perfect counter opportunity slip away.

She pressed forward.

Swift Brilliance!

Swinging her massive greatsword, she stepped forward with each stride, each step unleashing a furious slash; Lord Keli was forced to block with his greatsword.

Yet for some reason, he wanted to retreat—but his feet felt dragged down by the crushing weight of her sword momentum, unable to move quickly.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

Lord Keli barely blocked the first three slashes, but the fourth carried the overwhelming pressure of the previous three, pushing his spirit to its limit.

"Hah!" General Ji Xia swung her final slash, sweeping it across Lord Keli's abdomen.

The blade's flash blinded his vision for an instant—and his defense failed.

Ssshh!

The heavy sword shattered part of Lord Keli's armor, exposing his thickly maned abdomen; Swift Brilliance's residual force carved deep into his belly, tearing open a wound and sending him flying.

Unleash the blade edge.

Switch to light blades.

"Sky-Splitting Slash!"

General Ji Xia charged forward, swinging her furious twin blades, carving fresh wounds across the fallen Lord Keli's chest.

But Lord Keli's half-beast body was naturally tougher than a human's, reinforced by spiritual energy—her blades only inflicted superficial flesh wounds.

Yet inside his abdomen, his internal organs, shaken by the heavy sword's impact, felt as if a knife were twisting within him—he was in excruciating pain and could not summon strength; otherwise, he would have already fought back.

But the twin blades wielded by the black-clad woman were now impossible to block.

"It's over!"

General Ji Xia's voice rang cold as death itself; her furious twin blades now aimed directly at Lord Keli's eyes—if his bones were nearly invulnerable, then his eyes—vulnerable as they were—would be the target.

The answer was obvious: they were still fragile.
