The blood-red scythes of the Spider Girl whistled with the wind with every swing.
Xin Ci's figure dodged rapidly.
However, the blood-red scythes had an extremely wide attack range, and a moment's carelessness could lead to being cut in half.
While dodging, Xin Ci parried with the Ten Saints Blade Chain.
Ten Directions Heavenly Style - Spider Web Style
The Ten Saints Blade Chain immediately interwove into a massive spider web of chains, trapping the Spider Girl.
Yet, this Spider Girl's combat power was terrifying. With every swing, the chains emitted a rapid succession of metallic clangs.
This immense strength caused Xin Ci's Ten Saints Blade Chain to tremble violently, clearly struggling to hold on.
After barely holding for three breaths, under the Spider Girl's blood-red scythe, Xin Ci's Ten Saints Blade Chain shattered completely.
Inside the consciousness space, Mu Qingqing couldn't help but worry for Xin Ci upon seeing this.
"This Spider Girl's combat power has likely reached the peak of the King Realm. Xin Ci cannot handle her at his current level."
Mu Qingqing thought to herself, also feeling a bead of sweat for Xuan Qi.
However, Mu Qingqing could also see that Xin Ci should be able to hold on for a while.
Seeing his top-grade spiritual artifact destroyed, Xin Ci's face showed no hint of panic.
His eyes flickered, his lips moved, and he whispered, "Sixteen Star Moons, Star Blossom."
As Xin Ci finished speaking, countless tiny light spots emanated from the Spider Girl's abdomen.
With a bang.
Sixteen silver, radiant chains exploded from within her body like blooming fireworks.
The Spider Girl's abdomen was directly blown open by the suddenly bursting chains, flesh and blood splattering everywhere.
With a thud, her massive body collapsed to the ground.
Mu Qingqing in the consciousness space was slightly surprised. She hadn't expected the Sixteen Star Moons to have such a usage.
From the beginning, Xin Ci knew he was no match for the Spider Girl.
He had transformed the Sixteen Star Moons chains into minuscule light spots and, while dodging, infused them into the Spider Girl's body, causing her to explode.
Relying on the explosive power of the upper-grade true artifact, Xin Ci was thus able to kill the Spider Girl who was comparable to the peak King Realm.
But it was regrettable that only Mu Qingqing could freely wield the Sixteen Star Moons.
With Xin Ci's true essence, only at the one-star King Realm, he could at most use it ten times.
Seeing Xin Ci catch his breath, Mu Qingqing transmitted, "Xin Ci, how are you? Are you injured? Do you want to switch personalities?"
"Don't worry, Qingqing, I'm fine," Xin Ci replied with a smile.
Although he had Mu Qingqing, his second personality, to help him, Xin Ci still didn't want to rely on Mu Qingqing every time.
He wanted to become stronger, and only through continuous combat could his strength steadily improve.
Mu Qingqing understood Xin Ci's intentions and didn't try to persuade him further.
However, in moments of crisis, Mu Qingqing would still step in to help.
Xuan Qi, who had been observing Xin Ci's battle, revealed a satisfied smile upon seeing this.
He then appeared on the high platform of the arena.
Xuan Qi stood there and looked at Xin Ci, saying, "Brother Xin Ci, I indeed did not misjudge you. However, what you will face next is not a one-on-one battle, but enemies numbering more than three. What do you plan to do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, over ten peak King Realm冥神族 (Nether God Tribe) demonic creatures appeared consecutively in the arena.
Among them were three nine-headed blood dragons that Xin Ci had encountered in the Sky Pit Secret Realm.
Xin Ci had a vivid memory of how troublesome these nine-headed blood dragons were.
Even though he possessed the Sixteen Star Moons chains, he was unsure if he could defeat these ten冥神族 demonic creatures this time.
In the blink of an eye, the three nine-headed blood dragons lunged at Xin Ci.
All twenty-seven heads let out a simultaneous roar, their aura surging.
Xin Ci's expression was solemn. Since breaking through to the King Realm, his Spirit-tier martial skills were no longer keeping up with his progress.
Now, he could only fight using the Undying Phoenix Flame and the Sixteen Star Moons chains.
Mu Qingqing also realized that Xin Ci had not mastered any true meanings yet, which put him at a disadvantage in combat.
Although the Sixteen Star Moons chains came with the配套 (matching) chain technique, the Ten Directions Heavenly Style,
Xin Ci, at his current realm, could not use it frequently.
After repelling the three blood dragons with a move of the Red Lotus Phoenix Sword, Xin Ci once again activated the Sixteen Star Moons chains and engaged the remaining seven冥神族 demonic creatures in fierce combat.
Even so, Xin Ci's situation remained precarious.
Mu Qingqing's heart tightened as she watched Xin Ci struggle to resist the attacks of ten peak King Realm冥神族 demonic creatures.
Her gaze swept towards Xuan Qi, who was spectating from the high platform, and her brows furrowed.
Xuan Qi also turned his gaze to Mu Qingqing, a strange smile appearing on his face.
This expression made Mu Qingqing feel bewildered.
Could it be that he could truly see her through the consciousness space?
Or was Xuan Qi trying to force her hand?
Meanwhile, on Xin Ci's side, his attacks were not having a significant impact on these冥神族 demonic creatures.
He could only use the Sixteen Star Moons chains to restrain these ten peak King Realm冥神族 demonic creatures one by one.
For a time, Xin Ci found himself in a stalemate.
Seeing this situation, Xuan Qi smirked and said, "Brother Xin Ci, your strength is indeed impressive. Ten peak King Realm冥神族 demonic creatures cannot overcome you."
"Since that is the case, how will you deal with one hundred冥神族 demonic creatures released all at once?"
Xin Ci's face became solemn upon hearing this.
Currently, controlling ten peak King Realm冥神族 demonic creatures with the Sixteen Star Moons chains was his limit.
Furthermore, even in this state, he could not hold on for long.
But Xuan Qi would not give Xin Ci any time to think, and with a snap of his fingers.
One hundred冥神族 demonic creatures instantly appeared in the arena.
These冥神族 demonic creatures exuded a suffocating aura, an aura that instilled fear.
Even the Spider Girl Xin Ci had defeated earlier had revived.
Innumerable pairs of blood-red eyes stared directly at Xin Ci. All one hundred冥神族 demonic creatures started at the peak King Realm.
Among them, the three most powerful, the Dark Bone Dragons, were at the one-star Saint Emperor realm.
This meant each Dark Bone Dragon possessed strength not inferior to Xin Tu.
Now, Xin Ci was in mortal danger.
It was clear that Xuan Qi intended to kill Xin Ci.
"Brother Xin Ci, let me see what your limits truly are."
Xuan Qi seemed to want to verify something, looking at Xin Ci, who was surrounded by numerous冥神族 demonic creatures, and smiled faintly.
However, Xin Ci felt no panic. He took a deep breath, raised his eyes, and his gaze was filled with resolve.
The Sixteen Star Moons chains ascended to the high altitude of the arena at this moment, transforming into sixteen dazzling, colossal stars.
They hung in the air, illuminating the entire arena.
A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Xin Ci's mouth, his body swayed, and his feet seemed unable to stand steady.
Xin Ci, raising his head, gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.
Seeing this, Mu Qingqing's heart trembled slightly. Xin Ci's performance had exceeded her expectations.
However, the next move would likely be Xin Ci's full-power attack, pushing him beyond his physical limits.
"Ten Directions Heavenly Style, Fallen Star!"
