Seeing that Shaliwa had made such a choice, Qi Ling was quite surprised. Although it was the most rational judgment, since without Qian Xunji holding him back, he would never have been able to snipe him so easily, it was not something that everyone could be so determined to put himself in danger.
Qi Ling couldn't help but raise his opinion of Shaliwa even higher. But now, under his attack, Shaliwa had at least lost his fighting ability and was no longer a threat.
"Damn it, Qi Ling, take this! I won't give up so easily!" Qian Xunji said, brandishing the Fallen Demonic Spear and charging towards Qi Ling. A tall angelic phantom appeared behind him, seemingly launching an attack at the same time.
Qi Ling swung the Demon God Halberd, and the two weapons clashed again. However, without Shaliwa's assistance, Qian Xunji was immediately in trouble. Fortunately, Xue Qinghe transformed into Evil Dragon, which finally helped him stabilize the situation.
However, at this point, it's clear that the two of them alone are not enough to defeat Qi Ling. The best they can do is simply avoid being defeated by Qi Ling.
Qian Xunji's only hope is to stall until the others arrive, so that everyone can work together to deal with Qi Ling, and then find a way to deal with Kurumi. Otherwise, this match will be over here.
But Qian Xunji waited and waited, but his reinforcements never arrived. Instead, he was met with Kurumi, whom he had planned to eliminate later.
Kurumi stood gracefully atop a mountain peak, watching Qi Ling fight two people, and couldn't help but smile, saying, "Mr. Qi Ling, you look like you're having a tough time. Would you like me to help you?"
Qi Ling said helplessly, "You should worry about yourself first. They've decided to deal with you after they've taken care of me! If you're going to waste your time, you might as well go find their other people."
Kurumi laughed and said, "Others? Where are there any other people? Mr. Qi Ling, besides you all here, there is no one else here."
Kurumi said this, not only Qi Ling, but also Qian Xunji and Xue Qinghe felt a chill run down their spines, because Kurumi's words undoubtedly meant that their other allies had already been eliminated by Kurumi.
Although he already knew that Kurumi was a very threatening person, Qian Xunji still didn't expect this to happen. Two against two, he didn't think their combination could defeat Qi Ling and Kurumi.
Xue Qinghe was even more direct at this moment. He transformed directly from his Evil Dragon form back into human form and said dejectedly, "Forget it, Qian Xunji, we can't win. Let's just admit defeat."
Qian Xunji said unwillingly, "No, even if I know I'm no match, I can't just admit defeat like this. At the very least, I have to lose the battle!"
" Qi Ling, I will not admit defeat, bring it on!"
Seeing Qian Xunji charging towards her again, Qi Ling felt helpless. This guy was really stubborn. Although his courage was commendable, he still wouldn't give up after all her schemes had failed, which made him both laughable and pathetic.
"Very well, then I will completely defeat you and let you know the gap between us!" Qi Ling said, then raised the Demon God Halberd in his hand, and entered the Demon God Body state.
" Annihilation in All Ten Directions!"
A massive crimson cross pierced through Qian Xunji's body. Despite his best efforts to defend himself, he couldn't resist for long before the attack completely shattered his defenses, and he vanished into a crimson glow.
The power of the Annihilation in All Ten Directions was fully unleashed. After everything was over, most of the black wings behind Qian Xunji were broken off, and his once neat hair was now disheveled, looking extremely disheveled against the backdrop of blood.
Even so, Qian Xunji still used his remaining few wings to maintain his flight, while tightly gripping the Fallen Demonic Spear in his hand, as if he was unwilling to give up.
" Qi Ling! I will never admit defeat!" Qian Xunji had reached his physical and mental limits and was about to faint, but it was his unwillingness to give up that was still supporting him.
No matter how many times, no matter what despicable methods I use, no matter what it takes, no matter how far I have to go, one day I will defeat you!
After saying this, Qian Xunji collapsed headfirst into the canyon without making any other movements, clearly having lost consciousness.
Seeing this situation, Xue Qinghe had no choice but to leave immediately. Firstly, to avoid Qi Ling, whom he feared greatly, and secondly, to quickly check on Qian Xunji's condition.
Although he defeated Qian Xunji, Qi Ling by the willpower this guy displayed. It was the kind of will that would get back up no matter how many times he was knocked down. Although he was indeed quite despicable, this aspect was still admirable.
If it were anyone else, being targeted by an enemy like this would probably make them lose their appetite, but Qi Ling wasn't. For him, one more enemy wouldn't make a difference.
After all, the power that Qian Xunji has shown now is far from being a threat to Qi Ling. Qi Ling has already seen a much wider world where there are many more and stronger enemies.
With Qian Xunji's defeat, the match officially ended in a complete victory for Qi Ling, who, along with Kurumi, will qualify for the next match.
However, before that, Qi Ling had one more thing to do. He found Shaliwa in the distance and, surprisingly, he took action to save him after seeing him severely injured.
Like Qian Xunji, Qi Ling also discovered the rare talent of Shaliwa. During the competition, everyone was naturally on opposing sides for their own purposes, but now that the competition was over, Qi Ling believed that he was not such a petty person and would accept his good intentions.
Sure enough, Shaliwa was a smart man. After Qi Ling helped him heal his injuries, he laughed and said, "Today has been very fruitful. Meeting someone like you, Qi Ling, has made me realize how vast the world is. I still have a long way to go."
Qi Ling smiled and extended her hand to him, saying, "Interested in making friends?"
"It's a great honor!" Shaliwa said, shaking Qi Ling's hand.
Qi Ling naturally wanted to befriend such a person, as there might be opportunities for collaboration in the future. Even if not, someone as outstanding as him would not be content with mediocrity.
After the match ended, Xiluo didn't call the others back, but only summoned Qi Ling and Kurumi to her side, laughing, "Hehe, congratulations, Qi Ling! You really didn't disappoint me, successfully winning this match! Now I announce that you have advanced to the next round of the Demon God Contention Battle. Prepare to compete with your other opponents for the final victory!"
