The massive blood-red cross collided with the pitch-black blade, throwing off sparks.
"Wh...?! You still had another trick up your sleeve?"
Ji Xuanyuan had also put all her strength into that strike. The Honkai Energy she could still use was entirely supported by the Black Xuanyuan Sword in her hand.
"That's not all!"
A three-tomoe Stigmata appeared at the center of Feng Chen's brow.
Bella charged out and absorbed the lightning element from the pitch-black blade.
"Judgment-class Honkai Beast Benarès, Dragon of Lightning—release!"
A gigantic claw slammed down, and the lightning covering it attacked both sides indiscriminately.
Bella could not feel any hostility toward Feng Chen, so the lightning automatically avoided him and Bronya, who stood behind him.
That left Ji Xuanyuan as the sole target of the lightning.
After being weakened by the system, Bella was certainly inferior to Ji Xuanyuan in every respect—not only was Ji Xuanyuan a Simulated Herrscher, she also had the additional enhancement of buffs.
Moreover, judging by Feng Chen's estimation, Ji Xuanyuan's strength after being corrupted by the Honkai would not stop at the level of a Simulated Herrscher.
As it turned out, Feng Chen's guess was completely correct.
The pitch-black blade left a wound on Bella's claw and forcibly interrupted her attack amid the lightning.
"Come back, Bella!"
But Bella could not understand. She had only suffered a minor injury and could clearly keep fighting, so why...?
"That's an order!"
Overwhelming pressure.
Feng Chen's body radiated a pressure that Bella had only ever felt from Her Majesty the Queen.
The command of the [King] was absolute. Bella could not resist.
"Yes..."
Bella pulled away from Ji Xuanyuan and returned to the Stigmata Space.
"Two companions injured by the Xuanyuan Sword in a single day. This is really embarrassing."
