The two sides were getting closer and closer.
50 meters, 30 meters, 10 meters...
Just as the giant claw covered in bone armor was about to tear her apart, Shen Heng's blade moved once more.
It wasn't a slash, nor a parry, but a horizontal strike with the blade, precisely hitting the spine of Xiao Xiangtong's sword.
Buzz--
Amidst the metallic clang, the longsword trembled at a frequency imperceptible to the naked eye.
A surge of blue light erupted around the sword, Distortion the air.
Xiao Xiangtong's sword slashed out.
" Flitting Shadow!"
A flash of sword light.
There was no grand display, no ear-piercing explosions.
Only a very thin blue line extended from the sword's edge, silently tracing across the Dragon Armor Beast's body.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment.
The Dragon Armor Beast's forelimbs were still raised high in the air, but its movements were frozen.
Then, its body slowly shifted along that blue line...
"Boom--"
A thunderclap resounded.
Two figures were on the top of the tall building.
The man was sitting with his legs crossed, seemingly doing nothing, while the woman stood quietly to the side.
Suddenly, the light curtain in the sky rippled.
Cao Yiyi looked up, somewhat bored.
Soon, a smile appeared on her lips as she looked down at the person sitting cross-legged beside her and said:
" Xingwei, someone has killed the Dragon Armor Beast!"
Jiang Xingwei didn't look up, and simply replied,
"The appearance of the Dragon Armor Beast was precisely for them to kill."
"There are only two people who can kill the Dragon Armor Beast!" Cao Yiyi said excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xingwei finally opened his eyes.
He looked up at the light curtain in the sky, then looked down again.
"Hmm, it's alright."
Upon hearing this, Cao Yiyi pouted in dissatisfaction.
She turned her head to look at the sky, muttering to herself:
"You think everyone has S-Class abilities like you?!"
at the same time.
In the sky.
Chang Lei and his two companions also noticed this scene.
"No way, is this for real? Two people can take down Dragon Armor Beast?" Cao Zhenghao looked at the light screen with some surprise.
"This is a simulation, not programmers writing code, so there won't be any bugs," Zhang Chenguang replied.
"I know, I know, isn't it strange of me?" Cao Zhenghao waved his hand.
"If you said Xiao Xiangtong and Wu Hongxuan teamed up to kill the Dragon Armor Beast, I'd believe it with some skepticism, but what about him and Shen Heng..."
"How did you do that?" Cao Zhenghao looked at Zhang Chenguang with some doubt.
"Let's take a look at the process," Chang Lei said, expressing his own doubts.
Zhang Chenguang did not refuse. He looked down and searched for a moment, then raised his hand and pushed forward.
The air began to ripple, and then the image of two figures walking down the long street gradually appeared.
A moment later, the whole process was over.
"No, everything else is fine, but what happened with their last move? They suddenly could cut down the Dragon Armor Beast that they couldn't cut before?" Cao Zhenghao looked at the two of them with some doubt.
Chang Lei crossed his arms and recalled the last scene.
"It must be related to Shen Heng. His knife collided with Xiao Xiangtong's sword, greatly increasing the power of Xiao Xiangtong's attack."
"Huh? He has this kind of move?" Cao Zhenghao asked, somewhat surprised.
"Isn't this a question for you? Aren't you in charge of combat training?" Chang Lei looked at Cao Zhenghao.
"Hiss—" Cao Zhenghao took a deep breath, "But I've never seen him use it. This kid, could it be that he looks down on me, so he didn't use it?"
"It's probably because it didn't work for you, that's why it didn't work," Chang Lei chuckled.
"Hmm, that makes sense." Cao Zhenghao nodded in agreement, then asked with some doubt, "But with this move, wouldn't they be invincible already? Why would they have to fight the Dragon Armor Beast for so long?"
Upon hearing this, Chang Lei fell silent. After a moment's thought, he said:
"Maybe it's because I just thought of it."
"That makes sense!" Cao Zhenghao nodded knowingly.
"It's also possible that such a form of cooperation is difficult to establish, and even if it does, it can only last for a short time," Zhang Chenguang added.
As the creator of the simulation, his control over the details in the simulation far surpasses that of the other two.
This control includes the actions and postures of the training camp members at any given moment.
This also includes the blade that, although it looked fast, barely managed to slice through the Dragon Armor Beast's body.
"That makes sense!"
Cao Zhenghao nodded, and then asked:
Which one is it exactly?
Chang Lei glanced at Zhang Chenguang, and seeing that the other party did not intend to speak, replied:
"Only they themselves probably know the answer to that!"
On the street.
"Go to hell!"
Lü Wenrui roared.
He thrust his spear fiercely towards the Calamity Beast that was tightly bound by vines.
laugh--!
The spear pierced his body.
The Calamity Beast swayed a few times, then finally came to a stop.
After the battle ended, Lü Wenrui couldn't help but let out a soft sigh of relief.
He looked down at the wounds on his body and couldn't help but sigh:
"It's only one person missing, but the simulation feels so much more difficult!"
"That's normal. Before, it was like walking through the forest with GPS on; now, it's like being in a dark forest with nothing at all. It would be strange if it didn't get harder." Zhou Xuan smiled.
"What's more, with one less element to control, it'll be even harder to fight stronger Calamity Beast!"
Lü Wenrui nodded.
"I wonder how Shen Heng is doing now. When do you think he'll be able to find us?"
"He didn't say he absolutely had to find us. He said he would take some time to look, but if we were too far away and he couldn't find us, would he try to kill the Calamity Beast himself?" Zhou Xuan corrected.
"I know, but it's already so hard for the three of us to fight the Calamity Beast, let alone him alone?"
"That's true." Zhou Xuan nodded slightly. "But I feel it's actually better if he stops looking for someone; that way, we won't become too dependent on him."
"That..."
"What's wrong?" The two looked at Fang Ran.
" Shen Heng probably won't come looking for us," Fang Ran said.
"How did you know?" Lü Wenrui asked in surprise.
Fang Ran raised his finger and pointed to the sky.
The two of them instinctively looked up at the sky.
The next moment, the rankings on the light screen came into view for the two of them.
1. Xiao Xiangtong, points 570
2. Shen Heng, 450 points
3. Wu Hongxuan, 430 points
4,...
"No, how come Shen Heng's points suddenly increased by 250?" Lü Wenrui's eyes widened.
Zhou Xuan also looked at the light screen with some confusion and shock.
"His and Xiao Xiangtong's points just increased by 250 each. They must have worked together to kill the Dragon Armor Beast, that's why," Fang Ran explained from the side.
Lü Wenrui was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and it took him a while to react.
Wait, what happened to the promise that they couldn't defeat the Calamity Beast?!
