Hasa Ge!

Chapter 48: Hasa Ge! Leina suppressed the churning in her stomach, shook her wrist, and golden light surged around her body once more.

"Hey, Qiangwei," she said, glancing sideways at her partner, who was still blushing and gritting her teeth, "Can you still fight?"

"Of course!" Qiangwei gritted out three words through clenched teeth. She spun the dagger in her hand, and a wormhole opened silently beside her. "I'm going to beat him to his knees myself!"

"Alright." Leina grinned, but the previous casualness was gone from her eyes. "Then—let's get serious."

Before she finished speaking, she clasped her hands together, and a blazing beam of light erupted from her palms. Like the breath of the sun, it shot straight towards Su Bai!

This time, it wasn't a probing fireball, but a high-energy ray condensed with stellar energy.

Where it passed, the air warped and steamed, and the ground cracked and blackened.

Su Bai didn't meet it head-on.

He shifted half a step to the left. The beam grazed his right shoulder, instantly vaporizing a discarded low wall behind him.

And the moment he moved—

Qiangwei acted.

She didn't attack directly but opened wormholes with both hands simultaneously.

Six, eight, ten...

A total of twelve wormholes bloomed in the air at the same time. Each was only the size of a fist, yet they were precisely distributed in all possible evasion positions around Su Bai.

Then, from each wormhole, a silver flying knife shot out simultaneously.

All angles were sealed.

This was a true killing blow.

No blind spots, no retreat.

Leina's beam was merely a feint; the real killing move was Qiangwei's long-planned spatial lockdown.

Angel Yan, watching from afar, had a strange expression on her face:

"This... does she have the Space-time Gene, or a flying knife gene?"

Azhui also shook her head with a subtle expression:

"I'm not sure. Maybe... she has other trump cards?"

Su Bai didn't dodge this time.

He twisted his right hand, and a silver long saber materialized in his palm.

The blade was slender, the surface like a mirror, and it flowed with a deep blue halo like the abyss, as if stars and tides breathed within it.

This was the form transformed from "Kill You Three Thousand."

Su Bai gripped the saber with both hands and swung it towards the empty space in front of him—

"Hasa Ge!"

With this low cry, a semi-transparent wind barrier suddenly unfurled around him, like an invisible shield.

The moment the incoming flying knives touched the wind wall, they seemed to hit an invisible pulverizer. Without even a sound, they turned into countless silver dust particles and scattered down.

Qiangwei's eyes widened, and she was about to condense more wormholes with her hands.

Leina, also in the distance, spread her arms, and dazzling golden energy gathered in her palms, ready to cover Qiangwei.

But Su Bai raised his head at that moment.

He swung the blue long saber backward, his movement seemingly effortless—

Whoosh—!!!

A green tornado suddenly formed where the blade cut through, roaring as it swept towards Qiangwei and Leina!

The wind howled, sand and stones flew, and even the debris on the ground was swept into the air.

The expressions of both women changed simultaneously. They had to interrupt their attack and hastily dodged to the sides.

While they were dodging in a flustered manner, the long saber in Su Bai's hand changed form—

It transformed into a longsword, entirely emerald green, with flowing wind patterns carved onto the blade.

Behind him, a massive magic circle formed from pure wind element materialized, rotating slowly. Streams of light within the circle continuously poured into the sword.

Su Bai slowly raised the longsword to his side, brought his left hand's index and middle fingers together, and gently swept from the hilt to the tip of the blade.

The sword hummed, and a green light flared.

He looked up at the front, his voice calm yet ethereal:

"Wind's Extreme—"

"Meteor Kill."

The sword trembled violently.

A thin, thumb-sized beam of deep green light shot out instantly—

Where the light passed, space itself trembled, leaving behind a nearly black, distorted trajectory. Its speed was so fast that even afterimages were difficult to capture.

You can't find the book by its title, maybe try searching for the author, they might have just changed their name!

This strike made everyone present widen their eyes.

Angel Yan's expression turned serious:

"This strike... even I would find it difficult to block head-on."

Azhui nodded with a solemn expression:

"Mhm. I'm afraid even my Unbeatable Body would be shattered by it."

Leina and Qiangwei's pupils contracted sharply--the destructive energy contained within that beam of light made them instinctively feel a pang of dread.

If this strike hit, they'd be dead or severely wounded!

The live stream was also filled with exclamations:

[Chūnibyō Is Not a Disease: Hmph, the combat performance is somewhat decent.]

[Try Touching Me: Wow... so, so powerful...]

[Seeking Sponsorship: Damn, is this going to demolish the entire neighborhood?!]

[Seeking Sponsorship: The surrounding property prices are probably going to drop now, right?]

[Silly White Sweet: Hmm... should we be concerned about property prices right now...?]

Just as Leina and Qiangwei closed their eyes, preparing to endure the fatal attack--

A figure plummeted from the sky, a three-pointed halberd held horizontally in his hand, attempting to block that streak of green light.

Unfortunately, he overestimated himself.

The sword light cut through the three-pointed halberd as if slicing through rotten wood, then mercilessly pierced his left abdomen.

"Pfft--!"

Xuan Tianji spat blood, relying on the half-broken hilt in his hand to prevent himself from collapsing on the spot.

He had originally been lurking in the shadows, just watching the show.

After all, he didn't have much loyalty to Leina--he truly served General Pan Zhen.

In his opinion, no matter the situation, Super Seminary would never stand by and watch the main god of Lieyang get into trouble on Earth, as that would directly trigger inter-civilization conflict.

So he had intended to wait and see, anticipating Super Seminary's intervention to contend with this unknown warrior.

But until this killing move appeared, Super Seminary remained eerily silent.

Something's wrong...

Damn it! Could this have been Super Seminary's plan all along?!

They wanted to use this "knife" to kill the main god of Lieyang, thereby provoking Lieyang and starting a war?

--Killing with a borrowed knife!

Seeing the attack drawing closer to Leina, Xuan Tianji finally gritted his teeth and leaped from his hiding place.

He wasn't loyal to Leina.

But the Sunlight--Lieyang still needed her.

The main god must not die here.

After closing her eyes for a long time, the expected pain never came.

Leina and Qiangwei opened their eyes in confusion--

What greeted their sight was a figure with a pierced abdomen, leaving a shocking bloody hole. A pool of blood had already gathered at his feet, and his mouth was streaked with blood. He was barely standing, supported only by the half-broken hilt in his hand.

Qiangwei's fear subsided slightly, replaced by deeper confusion:

Who was this person? Why did he save them?

Was he a teacher from Super Seminary? Or an external reinforcement hired by her father?

But... he didn't seem to be a match for the opponent either...

Unlike Qiangwei, Leina's expression instantly became incredibly complex when she recognized the person who blocked the attack, her eyes filled with bewilderment:

"Xuan Tianji!?"

"How could it be you? Weren't you..."

She originally wanted to ask--Weren't you the one who never paid any attention to me, your main god, and only served General Pan?

But the words caught in her throat, and she swallowed them back.

Hearing Leina's voice, Xuan Tianji didn't turn around.

--It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he no longer had the strength.

He forced himself to speak, his voice hoarse but clear:

"Don't misunderstand... I just don't want Lieyang to be used, to become someone else's knife."

Now, Qiangwei also understood the identity of the person before them.

So he was from Leina's planet...

But... why did his attitude towards Leina, their main god, feel a bit... subtle?
