Chapter 132: Limit Break

"Limit—Break!" Lingyun and Lingqi shouted simultaneously.

Limit Break is a new skill that appeared on the character skill tree after Lingyun and the others reached level 80. Its description states that it can comprehensively improve one's attributes for a certain period of time. However, for Lingyun and the others, the purpose of this skill lies in the ability to jump outside the rules of this world during the time the skill is activated, allowing them to exert the full extent of their own strength.

A black-red light surged from beneath Lingqi's feet, slowly enveloping her body and her gun. After this red-black light appeared, a flash of scarlet light flickered in Lingqi's eyes, and a yandere-like smile appeared on her face, while a faint, lingering killing intent spread out from her.

One of Lingyun's pupils turned silver, the other gold, and a powerful wave of Qi spread out in all directions with him at the center, forcibly pushing back the Great Tengu. The Long sword in his hand slowly became entwined with a golden-silver dual-colored light.

"Come, let's begin our second round!" Lingyun gave an inexplicable smile toward the Great Tengu.

Watching Lingyun's smile, the Great Tengu felt a palpitation. The Great Tengu only felt a blur before his eyes, and Lingyun had already appeared in front of him, the Long sword in his hand already closing in on his face. However, the Great Tengu was no ordinary foe; at the critical moment, he used the Samurai Sword in his hand to block Lingyun's Long sword, but he was still forced to retreat repeatedly by the force behind the Long sword.

Seeing the opponent retreat, Lingyun pressed his advantage, the Long sword in his hand swinging repeatedly. The Great Tengu did not show any cowardice, frantically swinging the Samurai Sword in his hand, constantly clashing with Lingyun's Long sword.

The clash of blade and sword erupted in a series of sparks. Lingyun's attacks were fast and fierce, like a gale; it was precisely the Gale Sword Technique he had previously taught Yuuki. Although the Great Tengu's swordsmanship was also very powerful, it was clearly not on the same level as Lingyun's. Lingyun's attacks often pierced through its defensive net, cutting into its body. However, the gray-white airflow forming a Shield on the Great Tengu's body intercepted Lingyun's slashes every single time.

"Thrilling, thrilling! Exhilarating, exhilarating!" the Great Tengu roared excitedly. "It has been a long time since I experienced such a thrilling battle!"

Lingyun stared at the Shield on the Great Tengu's body with a slight frown; if this layer of Shield was not destroyed, there was simply no way to injure it.

"Ara ara, leave this Shield to me!" Lingqi's voice, with a slightly yandere tone, came from behind Lingyun.

Lingyun nodded slightly, then continued to grapple with the Great Tengu.

"You really do trust me!" Lingqi covered her mouth with the hand holding the gun and laughed. "Just based on this trust alone, I cannot let you down! Then, please put in a little more effort!"

As Lingqi's words fell, the red-black airflow around her body began to frantically gather toward the muzzle of the short gun in her hand. With the convergence of the red-black airflow, a heart-palpitating aura was transmitted from the muzzle. A trace of sweat also appeared on Lingqi's forehead, which was enough to show how great the consumption of this strike was for her.

The Great Tengu, blocked by Lingyun, also seemed to sense the danger of Lingqi's strike and desperately tried to break through Lingyun's attacks to stop her. However, Lingyun's combat experience was extremely rich, and he forcibly dragged the Great Tengu, making it unable to leave this spot even one step.

"Move!" A low shout came from Lingqi's mouth.

Lingyun did not have the slightest hesitation; his body flashed and he left his original spot, exposing the Great Tengu to the muzzle of Lingqi's gun. The moment Lingyun flashed away, Lingqi pulled the trigger, and the powerful recoil made her retreat several steps. After firing this shot, a trace of fatigue flashed in Lingqi's eyes, and she actually retreated directly from the state of Limit Break.

A streak of red-black light was seen flying out from the muzzle, heading straight for the Great Tengu. Its speed was so fast that even Lingyun could only capture a faint afterimage of the bullet. Facing such a fast attack, the Great Tengu did not even have room to dodge and was directly blasted away heavily.

"Crack, crack"—a muffled sound came from the Great Tengu's Shield, and countless cracks appeared on the Shield. The cracks quickly covered the entire Shield, after which the entire Shield turned into fragments and disappeared into the air.

"Lingqi, protect yourself; leave the rest to me!" Lingyun nodded slightly to Lingqi, then looked toward the Great Tengu, who was crawling up from the ground.

"Do you think you can defeat me just by breaking my Shield? How truly naive!" The Great Tengu let out a roar and lunged toward Lingyun's direction.

"Only three minutes?" Lingyun quietly looked at his character panel, where there was a countdown. He couldn't help but complain in his heart, "You really treat me like Ultraman, with no show left after fighting for three minutes! However, three minutes is enough to finish this guy off!"

"Boom, boom, boom," the Great Tengu took out the round fan from behind him and swung it fiercely toward Lingyun's direction. A gale swept out from the round fan, attacking toward Lingyun's direction.

Lingyun tilted his body slightly, dodging the Great Tengu's attack, then quickly lunged in front of the Great Tengu, the Long sword in his hand blasting forward, mixed with the sound of wind and thunder.

The Samurai Sword in the Great Tengu's hand flickered, clashing with Lingyun's Long sword, emitting a violent explosion. Lingyun extended his left hand, with traces of silver light lingering on it, and slapped heavily onto the Great Tengu's round fan, stirring up a wild wind. Lingyun attacked with both fist and sword, carrying powerful force, forcing the Great Tengu to retreat repeatedly.

"Get lost!" Receiving attacks repeatedly, the Great Tengu was also furious. A wild wind suddenly erupted from its body, forcibly pushing Lingyun back.

The moment Lingyun landed, he clenched his left hand into a fist and blasted it toward the Great Tengu's direction. An incomparably sharp fist force slammed heavily into the Great Tengu, knocking it into a stagger.

Before the Great Tengu could steady its body, a golden light suddenly flashed on the Long sword in Lingyun's hand, and a terrifying power began to spread: "Nine Suns Heavenly Art, First Form: Initial Sun Scorching the Sky!"

A golden Fireball appeared above Lingyun's Long sword, and terrifying heat began to sweep across the surroundings. As the Long sword in Lingyun's hand swung, the Fireball shot rapidly toward the Great Tengu's direction.

The Great Tengu's expression changed drastically; he could clearly feel how immense the power contained in this Fireball was. Once hit, it would definitely be a disaster!

"Break for me!" A roar came from the Great Tengu's mouth. The gray-white light on the Samurai Sword in his hand surged, and he slashed heavily at the golden Fireball.

A violent explosion sounded, and rolling waves of fire submerged the Great Tengu's figure. A broken blade of the Samurai Sword flew out from the fire waves, spun a few times in mid-air, and plunged heavily into the ground.

"Is it resolved?" Watching the gradually dissipating fire waves, Lingqi muttered to herself. Just how powerful that strike was could be seen from the current situation. However, the Great Tengu was definitely no ordinary foe; the probability of finishing it off with this strike was only fifty-fifty.

I don't know when, but Koneko, who was in Lingqi's arms, also opened her eyes and stared fixedly at the center of the fire waves.
