Chapter 108: The Outburst of Lingqi

With a "clang," the sound of metal clashing rang out. Lingqi looked up and saw that Lingyun had appeared before her at some point, raising his Long sword to block the Underworld King Guard's greatsword; the HP Slot above his head had already slid into the yellow zone.

"What are you still dazing off for? Run!" Lingyun turned and roared at Lingqi.

After the Underworld King Guard entered its berserk state, its strength had increased significantly. It was already quite a struggle for Lingyun to block the Underworld King Guard's sword, and now this little girl was still standing there blankly, which left him feeling very helpless.

Just as Lingyun was about to reach his limit, Alice's attack finally arrived; a Frost Arrow successfully slowed the Underworld King Guard down. Lingyun took the opportunity to push aside the Underworld King Guard's greatsword, grabbed Lingqi's hand, and ran.

Seeing the kill he had in his grasp run away, the Underworld King Guard was furious and swung its greatsword toward Lingyun's direction. Luo Yexi and Busujima Saeko arrived and intercepted the Underworld King Guard. A flash of white light flickered within the Underworld King Guard's armor, and with one sword strike, it forced Luo Yexi and the other back. Afterward, it swept its greatsword, and a wave of Sword Qi struck toward the direction of Lingyun and the other.

Lingyun's heart skipped a beat, and he hugged Lingqi's body and dove forward. The Sword Qi whistled over their heads and shattered a pillar in the distance.

"Lingyun, are you alright!" Lingqi asked anxiously when she saw that the HP Slot above Lingyun's head had already slid into the red zone.

Lingyun let out a long breath. Although he had just carried Lingqi to dodge the Sword Qi attack, he had still been caught in the aftermath, and now he felt waves of sharp pain in his back.

"I'm sorry, Lingyun, it's all my fault. I'm the one who dragged you all down!" Lingqi's eyes were filled with tears.

"Are you afraid?" Although Lingyun was asking a question, his tone was full of certainty.

Hearing Lingyun's question, Lingqi did not answer, but her body trembled violently, which was clearly a tacit admission of Lingyun's words.

"But fear is useless, isn't it? If you never dare to face him, you will never walk out of this shadow." Lingyun wrapped his left arm around Lingqi's slender waist, slapped the ground with his right hand while holding his sword, and took her into the air, dodging another wave of Sword Qi.

The berserk Underworld King Guard had added this powerful Sword Qi attack method, and even Lingyun did not dare to confront such Sword Qi head-on. Yet, the Underworld King Guard ignored everyone else's attacks and crazily unleashed Sword Qi toward Lingqi's direction.

However, although the Sword Qi attacks were fierce, Lingyun was no ordinary person. Even though he was still carrying Lingqi in his arms, he was always able to dodge the Underworld King Guard's Sword Qi as if he had foreseen it.

"Try attacking him. In my estimation, you are definitely not a fragile person!" Lingyun dodged the Underworld King Guard's Sword Qi once more while carrying Lingqi and whispered to her.

Lingqi raised her pistol with a slight tremor, aiming at the Underworld King Guard in the distance. But when her gaze fell upon the Underworld King Guard, those soul-piercing memories surged into her heart once again, causing her body to tremble violently again.

"Still can't do it?" Lingyun sighed softly in his heart. "You go to the side first; I'll go deal with this guy!"

Just as Lingyun wanted to release Lingqi's body, Lingqi suddenly reached out and grabbed Lingyun's clothes tightly. She raised the pistol in her hand and pulled the trigger with all her might toward the Underworld King Guard in the distance. A bullet whistled out of Lingqi's pistol and struck the Underworld King Guard in the distance.

The Underworld King Guard's body suddenly stalled. Luo Yexi and Busujima Saeko seized the opportunity and used all their strength to interrupt the Underworld King Guard's move to unleash Sword Qi. Immediately after, the two launched a rapid assault, leaving the Underworld King Guard with no time to unleash Sword Qi again.

Lingqi, in Lingyun's arms, was panting heavily, as if that single attack had exhausted all her strength.

"I, I did it!" Lingqi was almost completely limp in Lingyun's arms. As for why she had suddenly made such a move to break through her psychological shadow, she herself was a bit puzzled.

"Perhaps it's because I didn't want to see him show a look of disappointment," Lingqi thought to herself as her gaze swept over Lingyun's face.

"You go, I'll take care of myself!" After the attack hit the Underworld King Guard, a dark light flashed in Lingqi's eyes, and she did not know what she was thinking.

"You..." Lingyun looked at Lingqi in his arms, feeling somewhat hesitant; after all, Lingqi's current state really made him unable to feel at ease.

"Don't worry!" Lingqi struggled hard to break free from Lingyun's arms, a faint blush appearing on her face. She raised the gun in her hand and aimed it at the Underworld King Guard in the distance, "I will definitely help you beat this guy down!"

"Alright, then be careful yourself!" Lingyun looked at Lingqi's appearance, nodded slightly, and then gripped his Long sword and charged toward the Underworld King Guard.

Lingqi raised her head; her wine-red pupils had turned scarlet, and a broken smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. The grayish-white light originally in her pupils slowly receded, but it did not disappear; it merely hid in the deepest part of her pupils.

"Die, die!" With a broken smile, Lingqi fired repeatedly toward the Underworld King Guard's direction. The current Lingqi had completely fallen into a state of rampage.

Bullet after bullet streaked through the Void, landing one after another on the Underworld King Guard, colliding with the armor on its body and bursting into sparks.

Lingyun flashed in front of the Underworld King Guard, hand moving as the sword fell. The Long sword bypassed the Underworld King Guard's greatsword and slashed heavily onto the Underworld King Guard's right wrist. The Underworld King Guard felt the pain, its right hand loosened, and the greatsword in its hand actually slipped out, falling to the ground with a clatter.

"Now is the time!" A strange light flashed in Lingyun's eyes. He wiped his left hand across the Long sword and then slashed heavily toward the Underworld King Guard.

A fierce wave of Sword Qi shot out from the Long sword in Lingyun's hand, whistling toward the Underworld King Guard. Because the distance between the two sides was too close, the Underworld King Guard had no time to dodge and took Lingyun's attack head-on. Amidst a violent explosion, the Underworld King Guard flew backward, cracks even appearing on its armor, and the HP Slot above its head dropped by a large chunk.

"Shura Slash!" A scarlet light flashed in Busujima Saeko's eyes, and the blood-red mist on her body quickly gathered toward the Samurai Sword in her hand.

She took a step forward, swept her Samurai Sword upward, and a blood-red blade aura slammed heavily into the Underworld King Guard, adding a few more cracks to its armor.

The Long sword in Luo Yexi's hand radiated red light, and she then slashed out a fire-red Sword Qi. The Sword Qi arrived later but reached first, colliding with the Wind Blade sent by Alice; the two attacks merged, and the fire-red Sword Qi instantly expanded by more than double.

The Underworld King Guard had just crawled up from the ground when the Sword Qi arrived before it. The Underworld King Guard was terrified; it opened its right hand, and the greatsword that had fallen to the ground appeared in its hand. The Underworld King Guard slammed the greatsword into the ground in front of it, pushing both hands against the blade, attempting to use the sword body to block the Sword Qi attack.

Amidst a violent roar, the Underworld King Guard was blown away by the immense force. The armor on its hands was covered in cracks, and the final HP Slot above its head had dropped into the red zone. As for the greatsword it had used to block the Sword Qi, it had already turned into a pile of debris on the ground.

Seeing this scene, the Underworld King Guard was scared out of its wits. It flipped in mid-air, used the impact to land on the ground far away from Lingyun's group, and then turned and ran.

"You can't run away; today is your doomsday!" In the distance, Lingqi raised the gun in her hand, and a stream of black-red energy poured into the muzzle.

Lingqi pulled the trigger, and a black-red ray of light struck the Underworld King Guard's body squarely. After being hit by the light, the Underworld King Guard's figure instantly became sluggish.

"Die, die!" Lingqi laughed loudly, gripped the gun in her hand, and fired repeatedly. One after another, black-red rays of light surged out from the muzzle, heading straight for the Underworld King Guard.

This light was incomparably sharp, actually piercing through the Underworld King Guard's armor and sinking into its body. Under Lingqi's attack, the Underworld King Guard's remaining bit of health was constantly being whittled away. It wanted to dodge Lingqi's attacks, but its body had become extremely sluggish and it could not dodge at all. Amidst Lingqi's crazy laughter, the Underworld King Guard's armor was beaten into a hornet's nest.

"Crack, crack." Countless cracks appeared on the Underworld King Guard's body, and then it exploded into fragments filling the sky.

Seeing the Underworld King Guard turn into fragments, the crazy look on Lingqi's face gradually disappeared, and then her legs went soft, and she fell toward the ground. Lingyun flashed to Lingqi's side and reached out to support her.

"I did it!" Lingqi gave Lingyun a difficult smile.

"Mm, I saw it, well done!" Lingyun gave Lingqi a smile.

"Master, let's go to the next floor!" Luo Yexi had already opened the portal to the 21st Floor.

"Let's go!" Lingyun supported Lingqi and walked toward the direction of the portal.
