Chapter 56: Only Heart

Now it's troublesome; although doing this might risk letting it escape, this is already the best opportunity.

Jiang Xia quietly watched their fight, watching Ma Sheng You Li rush forward and vigorously strike the Lion Tooth Blood Vampire's body with a short sword less than a meter long.

But from his eyes one could see that he was not as calm as he appeared.

"No good, I'm reaching my limit; the burden of Ixa has already crushed my body."

Hong Yin was also directly knocked flying again under those black claws,

The sound of electric current permeated every joint, as if Ixa would disintegrate into thin air the next second.

"It's fine, you've already expended a lot; leave the rest to Jiang Xia."

The two cooperated seamlessly, one handling long-range, the other close combat.

"I am the most qualified; I can inherit my mother's dying wish, I can attain happiness!" Ma Sheng You Li shouted.

And at a certain moment, a cracking sound suddenly came from the Lion Tooth Blood Vampire's body.

"But I simply cannot unleash Ixa's power; I don't have a body like yours, so I cannot use it at all."

Meanwhile, in the warehouse, Ma Sheng You Li gestured with her right hand, and a red gun appeared in her hand,

Pale yellow bullets instantly burst from the muzzle, immediately knocking the Lion Tooth Blood Vampire back several steps.

"Be careful, Ci Lang!"

Jiang Xia stepped forward, and a crack suddenly burst open on the ground,

He was like a shell about to explode, carrying ferocious power, using the short sword in his hand,

At that moment, the sharp blade finally broke through the armor worn externally on the Lion Tooth Blood Vampire.

He stumbled backward, actually lunging forward in a stagger.

Together with Ma Sheng You Li, he shouted loudly: "henshin (transformation)"

Hong Yin also took off the Ixa from her waist and threw it backward with all her strength.

And the Lion Tooth Blood Vampire's back was struck by the ferocious force, causing its arm to involuntarily release Ma Sheng You Li,

"What is he trying to do? Why doesn't he transform into Ixa? Does he intend to fight the Lion Tooth Blood Vampire with just his flesh?"

And Jiang Xia's figure suddenly turned into a fine speck of light.

It turned its head to look at its own back, and the armor there actually showed a slight crack from that blow,

And if it wasn't mistaken just now, that was the power of the Tooth Blood Vampire.

"Finally succeeded." Jiang Xia let out a faint smile and sighed.

Silver-white and pale red light rose simultaneously from the center of the waist,

Two identical sets of armor were donned simultaneously on Jiang Xia and Ma Sheng You Li.

So that's what it meant; there is another set of Ixa armor.

At this moment, the Lion Tooth Blood Vampire was gripping Ma Sheng You Li's neck with one hand, intending to strangle her to death,

Jiang Xia stood quietly here, raised his hand and directly caught the Ixa fist glove thrown at him.

But she now believes in him, believes she can attain happiness; that is enough.

Jiang Xia did not answer him, merely setting Ma Sheng You Li down,

and silently pulled out a fist glove from his bosom, handing it to Ma Sheng You Li, who had just steadied herself nearby.

"You Li, let's go together." Jiang Xia said.

"No wonder the combat power of Ixa is so high; it turns out he is also an Ixa wearer."

But no matter how they thought about it, they all watched helplessly as Jiang Xia produced another Ixa.

"I understand."

Adding to the pain of Jiang Xia's departure and the joy of his return, these feelings seem vividly before our eyes.

Now we are in the midst of battle; there's no time to ask where that other set of Ixa armor came from.

Likewise, he pulled out another Ixa from his bosom and pressed it against his palm.

The violent sound wave made everyone present feel a sharp pain in their ears.

"Mm."

Jiang Xia, with a single hand gesture, caught Ma Sheng You Li as she slipped from the Lion Tooth Blood Vampire's grasp and held her in his arms.

With each word she spoke, her heart grew a bit stronger, and an extraordinary aura emanated from her.

And after he delivered a heavy chop to the Lion Tooth Blood Vampire, he used the recoil to also arrive beside Ma Sheng You Li at the same time.

Ci Lang watched Ba Xia and De Ga still struggling in battle, panting heavily as he spoke.

"Are there two of these toys? Then leave them both for me."

He had a blank expression, reached out, and a short sword identical to Ma Sheng You Li's suddenly appeared in his hand,

Watching Jiang Xia fighting desperately, she murmured:

But it felt a formidable power suddenly rising from behind him.

Saying his body trembled slightly, after a brief lull, the Tooth Blood Vampire power within his body surged again,

Enveloping the long sword, colorful power like flames wrapped around the blade.

On his cheeks also appeared several colored patterns, which clashed with the Lion Tooth Blood Vampire.

They were in perfect sync, extremely fast; without saying a word they could fully understand each other's meaning.

Saying Ma Sheng You Li clenched the Ixa fist glove in her hand, feeling dejected, wanting to return it to Jiang Xia.

For the first time she acknowledged Hong Yin as her friend, and for the first time she knew Ci Lang was a monster,

When to shoot, when to draw the sword—it was as if a strange force linked them, allowing them to perfectly unleash their power together.

Meanwhile, Ci Lang on the side thought, Jiang Xia had said from the start that their fighting wasn't enough.

"First, we must rescue Ma Sheng You Li from the Lion Tooth Blood Vampire's clutches." Jiang Xia murmured while looking at the sword in his hand.

"Ixa, are you sure you want to hand it over to me?"

"You, who exactly are you?"

Looking at the two identical Ixa, the Lion Tooth Blood Vampire was overjoyed and couldn't wait to put them on itself.

In the blink of an eye, the Lion Tooth Blood Vampire charged at them again, its massive body lunging forward to attack.

"How could this happen!" the blown-away Ci Lang looked at the two identical Ixa, and actually forgot the pain for a moment.

The Lion Tooth Blood Vampire turned its head, looking at Jiang Xia, who held a sword in one hand and embraced Ma Sheng You Li with the other, and asked solemnly.

Clang!

This sudden impact, like metal clashing, almost like thunder, exploded directly from the middle.

"It's up to you, Jiang Xia." Hong Yin also weakly collapsed onto the dust-filled ground and shouted loudly.

Memories kept surfacing in her mind, first of going shopping together with Jiang Xia,

Ma Sheng You Li picked up the Ixa from Jiang Xia's hand and pressed it firmly into her own palm.

Jiang Xia raised the sword in his hand, still without transforming, and chose not to catch the Ixa that Ma Sheng You Li handed over.

These three problems constantly troubled her, like a nightmare, and every time she thought of them she burst into tears.

In a moment, the Lion Tooth Blood Vampire couldn't even lift a hand to retaliate.

Now it should be called a longsword, and it smashed hard onto the Lion Tooth Blood Vampire's back.

A streak of colored power flowed from Jiang Xia's hand to the sword tip, and then a pure white thread shot directly from his wrist, completely covering the short sword.

In an instant, it emitted continuous explosions, and strands of pure white sword light directly enveloped every part of the Lion Tooth Blood Vampire's body.

"This was originally your mother's work; giving it to you to transform is the most suitable choice."

"This was developed by your mother; believe in yourself, and also believe in me, and believe in our companions all along."

Hong Yin's face also changed drastically; the plan wasn't like this.

Instead, she opened her mouth and said:

"You Li, you must believe in yourself, believe that you can perfectly wield this power."

"Do I really have the qualifications? Can I really inherit my mother's dying wish? Can I really attain happiness?"

But he was desperately blocked by the frantic Ci Lang.

"Is this really the true plan?" Hong Yin coughed lightly, rubbed her aching chest, and suddenly realized.

The Lion Tooth Blood Vampire stumbled backward, and the chains on its body, resembling chariot pieces, collapsed with a crash at this moment.

And the longsword forged by Jiang Xia's infused power also shattered at this moment into metal fragments smaller than a fingernail, scattering across the ground.
