Chapter 2193

All the crystals around surged toward Xi. In an instant, these crystals clung to the two double piercing swords in Xi's hands.

These two piercing swords became even more gorgeous. What was puzzling was that Xi released the two piercing swords in her hands, letting them float in mid-air.

Hum—

A wave spread out, and Xi clearly breathed a sigh of relief. But just at this moment, a long blade slashed toward her neck. Su Xiao wouldn't give Xi time to display her ability.

With a 'swish', the long blade slashed across Xi's neck, but there was no feeling of hitting a solid object.

Su Xiao frowned slightly. While leaping backward a few meters, he slashed rapidly.

Pale blue slash marks covered the area, and the crystals surging toward Su Xiao were slashed to pieces, with large amounts of crystal fragments splashing everywhere.

Rumbling—

The ground began to tremble. Xi extended her arm, and a large area of crystals suddenly appeared, spreading toward Su Xiao with lightning speed.

Su Xiao was instantly enveloped in crystals. Xi clenched her hands, and that large area of crystals formed a spherical shape with a 'boom', and it was still constantly compressing.

Crack, crack—

A terrifying squeezing sound came from inside the crystal sphere, and the crystal sphere crashed to the ground, creating a giant pit.

"Hoo—"

Xi exhaled a breath of turbid air. Burning vitality to form crystal flames put a huge burden on her, but if she didn't do this, she couldn't duel with Su Xiao at all.

Crack—

A crisp sound like a nightmare. The giant crystal sphere cracked. Seeing this, Xi pressed her hands together, preparing to cause secondary damage to Su Xiao inside the crystal sphere.

Puchi.

The long blade pierced through flesh and blood. The tip of Checking Zhan Long Shan stabbed out from Xi's chest, the blade tip stained with blood.

Xi's pupils were trembling. She couldn't figure it out; just a moment ago, she clearly sensed Su Xiao's aura inside the crystal sphere.

Blood dripped along the blade tip, and not far away, on the crystal sphere, a wisp of blood energy drifted out from the cracks in the crystal sphere.

In reality, Xi's crystals hadn't swallowed Su Xiao at all. Before being swallowed by that large area of crystals, Su Xiao used the Dragon Flash ability to escape, and just before escaping, he used a large amount of blood energy to form a human figure.

And Su Xiao himself, relying on his speed and the rising smoke and dust, circled to Xi's visual blind spot and completely retracted his aura.

Xi wasn't a perception-type. As for Mitang, who could sense Su Xiao, she didn't dare to appear at all. Just a moment ago, she had nearly been insta-killed by Baha. As long as there was a chance, Baha assassinating a perception-type was a matter of an instant.

Su Xiao stood behind Xi, the long blade piercing through Xi's back, but it failed to stab through the enemy's heart—Xi's heart had crystallized.

Fighting until now, Su Xiao felt this was Xi's most troublesome ability: crystallizing a part of her body or her whole body. This was different from the elementalization of Devil Fruits. After Xi's body crystallized, it would still be injured, but it wouldn't be fatal, and it had an extremely powerful self-healing speed.

After the crystallized part of Xi's body was injured, before it returned to normal, that part of the crystallized body would heal at high speed, thereby helping Xi immune to the injury.

The long blade in Su Xiao's hand flicked upward, and Xi's body shattered, but the next moment, the shattered crystals rolled back, and Xi's body recovered.

Xi was in mid-air, and with a wave of her arm, three crystal spikes stabbed toward Su Xiao.

Su Xiao, in the middle of a charge, turned slightly, but just at this moment, his figure paused, his gaze drifting toward the two piercing swords in the distance—those two piercing swords were pulling him.

Bang, bang.

Two crystal spikes, one penetrated Su Xiao's lower abdomen, and the other stabbed into his left shoulder.

Xi landed over ten meters away. She had taken a slash from Su Xiao, and Su Xiao had taken two crystal spikes from her, but for some reason, Xi felt she had lost—a huge loss. The enemy was a melee type, and even had survival ability comparable to, or even stronger than, a tank.

Xi half-squatted on the ground, pressing her hand against the wound on her chest. She had only managed to crystallize her heart just now. Although the injury wasn't too severe, it wasn't light either.

Su Xiao gripped the crystal spike on his left shoulder with his fingers and pulled it out very calmly. As soon as the crystal spike was pulled out, the wound showed signs of stopping the bleeding.

Seeing this scene, Xi felt speechless in her heart. What kind of powerful physique was this? The true Stamina attribute was conservatively estimated to be above 135 points, plus a bunch of abilities that increased vitality.

Now Xi was facing an even trickier problem: Su Xiao had already lunged over.

Crystals spread, and blade glows slashed horizontally and vertically. Su Xiao slashed the large area of surging crystals to pieces.

The slashing sensation of the crystals was transmitted to Su Xiao's hand along the hilt. After just two slashes, he turned to the side, and three crystal spears flew past his side.

Xi was just over ten meters away, and the area around Su Xiao was completely enveloped by crystals. Unfortunately, with Su Xiao's blade technique, Xi's crystals couldn't trap him at all.

With a 'swish', the blade glow slashed past Xi's side. She tilted her head, and a bloodstain appeared on her face. Xi didn't care at all, but was silently calculating something in her heart.

Crystals spread toward Su Xiao endlessly. He slashed rapidly with the long blade in his hand and stepped forward quickly. When he slashed out the last blade, Xi appeared a few meters in front of him.

Xi gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and her silver hair fluttered.

Thud!

All the crystals nearby exploded, forming a crystal-clear mushroom cloud. After being educated by Apollo, Xi was also developing explosion-type abilities, and the Crystal Flame Explosion was the result she had developed.

When the mushroom cloud dissipated, a giant pit appeared. Xi stood beside the giant pit, bending over and panting heavily. She was also within the range of the crystal explosion, but she had used crystallization to dodge it.

Blade light pierced the air, slashing toward Xi head-on. Xi immediately leaned her body backward, but Su Xiao's slash wasn't that easy to dodge.

The long blade stabbed forward. The slash just now wasn't Checking Zhan Long Shan at all, but a blade glow Su Xiao had slashed out in advance.

Puchi!

Checking Zhan Long Shan pierced through Xi's throat, pinning the crystallized her to the ground. A hand stained with blood pressed onto Xi's face.

With a 'boom', Xi fell to the ground and was pierced through the throat by the long blade. Su Xiao was almost riding on Xi, one hand gripping the hilt, the other pressing on Xi's head.

Blood dripped along Su Xiao's chin, dripping onto Xi's face. He had hard-tanked an explosion, which he could fully handle.

Xi grabbed Su Xiao's left arm, and crystals spread along his arm. Just as they spread to his shoulder, cyan-blue electric arcs flickered on Su Xiao's body, and the crystal layer exploded.

Crack!

Su Xiao crushed Xi's crystallized head, and the long blade in his hand flicked horizontally, drops of blood splashing. Xi couldn't maintain crystallization forever; Su Xiao had judged this long ago.

Crystals spread instantly, and the next moment they exploded. Su Xiao leaped backward. This explosion range was very small and rushed, failing to involve him in the range.

As soon as Su Xiao landed, he arched his body and leaped forward directly.

While in mid-air, Su Xiao raised his blade to stab. The inspiration for this move came from Alexander. Using it now, the timing was just right.

Xi had just gotten up from the ground when Su Xiao stabbed over. This made Xi have a moment of doubt in her heart; no matter how you looked at it, the enemy was courting death.

Xi extended her palm forward, and azure crystal flames surged in her palm.

"Soul Burning."

With a 'boom', azure crystal flames sprayed out.

Xi was almost all-around. She had a certain level of melee ability, while mid-range was her main fighting style. And because of the characteristics of the crystals, almost all her abilities came with a certain control effect, while crystallization gave her extremely strong survival ability.

Crystal flames that could burn the soul enveloped the area in front of Xi. Before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, a whistling sound of wind attacked from behind her. Now, it was the Blade Master's home field.
