Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!
Chapter 834 - 461 The Empire's Defeat_3

Red State. Reopen!

Flames on Chen Qi's body swelled again, his body emitting a thunderous cracking sound.

The mental contamination caused by his Abyssal Resonance greatly hindered the war fervor from reaching its peak.

The War Knights summoned by the war fervor were still unable to match him!

Now, it's his panel that holds the advantage!

War Knights are immune to psychic damage, they must be killed first.

Chen Qi took a deep breath, then his muscles exploded, unleashing another Rift Slash.

After opening the Domain, the Rift Slash changed from blue to black.

After opening, Chen Qi's panel increased more than tenfold, the original Thousand Cuts, astonishingly transformed into Ten Thousand Cuts!

Swipe swipe swipe——

Clang!

Sword retracted!

While everyone was still listening to the echoes of the abyss, the War Knight was suddenly shattered.

[You activated release, defeated the War Knight.]

"Who am I? Where am I? Why is this big eye staring at me?"

The Blood Lion raised his head, still unable to shake off the negative effects of the Abyssal Resonance.

Chen Qi tossed the Blood Lion a Hunter's Mark, then gripped his long sword and charged ahead.

Slash!

Chen Qi slashed directly at the Blood Lion's neck.

"Ahhh——"

The enormous wail made the Blood Lion's eyes widen, bringing him back to his senses.

Unlike the last time at the Tower of Books, this was a deadly battle between Fifth Rank Saints.

The Blood Lion's eyes widened as he watched the War Knight shatter.

"War Knight!"

The Blood Lion hadn't had time to mourn for the War Knight before the next blade aimed at his head.

Forced into a corner, the Blood Lion could only take out his hidden backpack card, using all his life-saving weapons.

Sparta's War Shield, Blood and Flesh Regeneration Potion X, Teleportation Card…

However, Chen Qi did not give him this chance.

Swipe!

Chen Qi swung his sword, severing the Blood Lion's right hand that was using the Teleportation Card, then cut off his left hand that was holding the backpack card!

Countless scars covered his body.

Both arms severed!

"No!"

The Blood Lion wailed, unable to believe the scene before him.

More than the War Knight's defeat, his own downturn, he feared more was the defeat of the campaign.

If he were to lose, the massive resources devoted by the Empire, along with the multiple Crack Gates that initiated the counteroffensive, would all turn to ruins.

Such a massive defeat!

Could it be, the Empire is going to be defeated?

As an honor of the Empire's Navy, is he going to be defeated?

A huge crisis erupted within Shell Country, losing to a small city!

A poor place on the ocean that only knows how to mine Moonstones!

Even if he survived, he would only serve as fuel for others rising to the Fourth Rank.

Pa!

At that moment, the severed arms fell onto the deck, making a crisp sound.

"I! I! I!"

"It won't be the end!"

"Blade Cup Release. Black Blood Forever Burning. Lion Unbeaten!"

The Blood Lion's eyes were bloodshot, he bit his tongue and let out a roar.

He took the permanent depletion of his spiritual power origin, lifespan, and a 100% chance of contracting mutation disease, with a 70% chance of dying within two months, as the cost to reopen release.

A majestic lion emerged behind him, intending to engage Chen Qi in a final showdown.

Chen Qi calmly watched all this.

Preparing to resist this move.

Black Blood Eternal Burning is an extremely common Blood Technique in the Empire.

Using this move, indeed, can hurt him, causing considerable injury.

But once the move ends, the Blood Lion no longer has any hope of turning the tables.

Crack!

Blue snowflakes gently landed on Chen Qi's face.

"It's already over, the Empire has been defeated."

Just as the Blood Lion was about to counterattack, a cerulean voice spoke softly from nowhere.

The Blood Lion's eyes widened, his entire body trembling.

His desperate strike had just vanished.

"It's already over."

The Ice Witch's gaze was fixed on his ravaged body.

The Ice Witch looked at the Blood Lion without any fear.

As if the person before her was merely an insignificant pawn.

That gaze was the indifference of the victor towards the defeated.
