A Fated Showdown

Gu Yue became increasingly cheerful and moved closer.

"Didn't expect that, did you? You thought that by becoming the disciple of Yun Ming, the number one Soul Master in the world, you could be protected. But it turned out to be the biggest shackle binding you."

"From now on, you stay at Shrek and your brother will come back to the Spirit Pagoda with me and live a life of luxury."

"Shut up!"

Na'er's silver eyes blazed with fire.

I couldn't hold back any longer.

With a flick of her small, soft hand, the Silver Dragon Spear stuck in the ground not far away trembled with a "hum" and automatically flew back into her hand.

The little girl gripped the gun tightly and pushed off the ground with her foot.

He shot towards Gu Yue like a silver arrow.

The spear tip gleamed with silver light, carrying a faint dragon's might, and headed straight for Gu Yue's heart.

It moved so fast that it left a silver streak.

He was brimming with anger.

Gu Yue wouldn't be foolish enough to engage her in close combat.

She lightly stepped back, her figure floating backward.

He hopped happily towards the lake.

As my toes touched the lake's surface, a chill spread from my toes.

The lake surface instantly froze into patches of ice, supporting her steps.

Each step reveals a blooming ice flower, like lotus blossoms emerging from the lake's surface.

The ice surface was crystal clear, reflecting her long, silvery-white hair, making her look like someone who had stepped out of a painting.

"Come on, if you've got the guts, come and chase me."

Gu Yue stood in the middle of the lake, turned around and waved to Na'er.

His face was full of provocation.

"Don't run away!"

Na'er was furious and rushed onto the lake.

The Silver Dragon Spear touched the lake surface, its tip bracing against the ice, propelling it forward.

But the ice on the lake was very slippery, and she was a little unsteady on her feet, swaying before she regained her balance.

I almost tripped and fell.

I got even angrier.

At this moment, Gu Yue stood in the middle of the lake, tilting her head slightly.

Fine, silver dragon scales slowly emerged from his neck, gently covering his left cheek.

A glint of golden vertical pupils flashed in his silver-purple eyes.

A faint dragon's might slowly emanated from her.

Although she only possessed 70% of the original essence, her dragon might was far more pure and profound than Na'er's.

Like deep-sea waves, they pressed down heavily.

It adds a touch of exotic beauty.

Na'er stopped abruptly halfway through her run.

The Silver Dragon Spear trembled slightly.

This is... suppression from the source?

Na'er bit her lip, her face turning even paler.

Her worst fears came true.

Gu Yue... she really did come to absorb me!

"What's wrong? Aren't you coming over?"

Gu Yue stood on the ice, her clothes fluttering in the wind, a faint smile on her face.

Weren't you being very fierce just now?

"What... what do you want to do?" Na'er gripped the Silver Dragon Spear tightly, her voice trembling slightly.

He unconsciously took a half step back.

"Nothing."

Gu Yue spoke slowly, yet the dragon's might emanating from him intensified.

The ice on the lake trembled slightly, cracking into fine lines.

"I was just playing around with you."

Gu Yue's voice was light and airy, yet it pressed down along with the heavy dragon's might. The ice on the lake was already thin, and when it was shaken by this dragon's might, it instantly cracked into countless fine cracks, spreading outwards like a spider web. Ice shards rose slightly along the cracks, then fell back onto the lake surface with a soft rustling sound, creating tiny splashes of water.

Na'er's fingers tightened suddenly as she gripped the Silver Dragon Spear.

The fear within her senses surged up like a needle prick, but the little girl quickly suppressed it.

What's there to be afraid of?

This is Shrek, this is her territory.

The older brother watched from the shore.

How could she lose?

Buzz--

The Silver Dragon Spear emitted a deep dragon roar.

First Soul Skill - Dragon Soul Possession, activated instantly.

Fine, silver dragon scales spread rapidly from the neck, up the arms, over the gun barrel, and down the waist and abdomen, covering the entire body in the blink of an eye.

A faint dragon's might erupted from Na'er's body. Although it was not as mellow as Gu Yue's, it was more powerful and fierce, forcefully pushing back the overwhelming dragon's might by half.

Na'er pushed off with her foot.

With a "crack," a shallow footprint sank into the ice.

Second Soul Skill: Silver Dragon Flash.

His figure instantly transformed into a silver streak of light, leaving three afterimages in place, splitting into three paths—left, center, and right—heading straight for Gu Yue.

The silver light from the spear tip tore through the air, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, so fast that only a silver streak remained.

Gu Yue's eyes narrowed slightly.

That's actually pretty good.

She neither dodged nor avoided the spear until the tip of the spear was three feet in front of her, at which point she lightly slipped.

The ice surface seemed to be coated with oil, and her figure moved three feet sideways along the ice.

It just happened to clear the way for the true form to be visible from the front.

With a slight twitch of his fingertips, three pale blue Wind Blade sliced out from his fingertips, each aiming at the back of the three afterimages.

The speed was so fast it was almost ethereal.

bite--

With a flick of her spear tip, Na'er shattered the Wind Blade in front of her.

The two afterimages merged simultaneously, followed by the real body turning, and the spear shaft swept out horizontally.

The silver gun barrel whistled through the air as it swept towards Gu Yue's waist and abdomen.

The angle was tricky, perfectly blocking Gu Yue's retreat route.

Gu Yue leaned back.

The gun barrel swept past her lower abdomen.

A strong wind whipped her clothes, revealing a glimpse of her fair waist and abdomen.

Taking advantage of the situation, she braced herself on the ice with one hand and flipped her body in mid-air.

With the other fingertip pointing downwards, several sharp ice spikes pierced towards Na'er's head.

Fast and accurate.

Na'er didn't even look up.

With a twist of the wrist.

He flicked the Silver Dragon Spear upwards.

Three crisp ringing sounds.

All three ice spikes were shattered by the tip of the spear.

Ice shards flew everywhere, splashing all over Na'er's face.

Using the force of her thrusting the gun, she lunged forward.

The tip of the spear was pushed forward in the same direction.

Heading straight for the throat where the Gu Yue fell.

Every move was executed flawlessly, leaving no room for error.

The Gu Yue twisted its waist in mid-air.

The wind element lifted up beneath my feet.

His body was abruptly shifted half a foot to the side.

The tip of the gun grazed her shoulder.

The sleeve was torn, revealing a chilling killing intent.

She landed on the ice, her steps faltering.

I just managed to stand firm.

Na'er's second shot has arrived.

It gleamed silver, striking straight at the heart.

It's so fast that people can't even react.

Gu Yue clasped his hands together in front of him.

A snap.

A half-meter-thick Ice Wall instantly rose up, blocking the two of them.

The ice surface was crystal clear, gleaming with a cold light.

Bang!

The Silver Dragon Spear slammed heavily against the Ice Wall.

The immense force traveled along the gun barrel.

The Ice Wall was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

Na'er pressed down with her arm.

Add three more points of force.

Smash it!

Click--

The Ice Wall shattered instantly.

Ice shards flew everywhere.

Like a rain made of shattered ice.

Na'er pierced through the shattered ice, her spear tip never leaving Gu Yue's heart.

The man moved with the gun, his momentum unstoppable.

Gu Yue looked at Na'er rushing over, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.

This little girl is really something.

Instead of retreating, she advanced.

His body slid forward to meet the tip of the spear.

He narrowly avoided the gun tip.

The two brushed past each other in an instant.

Gu Yue placed his palm on the gun barrel.

The icy power in his palm erupted instantly.

The gun barrel extended towards Na'er's palm.

Na'er felt a chill on her right hand.

It felt like holding a piece of ice that had been frozen for millennia.

My fingers are so cold they're numb.

She snorted coldly.

The power of the dragon soul swirled in his palm.

With a buzzing sound.

The ice on the gun shattered instantly.

The ice shards slid down the gun barrel.

Na'er flipped her wrist.

The butt of the gun slammed down.

He went straight for Gu Yue's temple.

Ruthless and precise.

The Gu Yue bowed its head.

The butt of the gun swept past his head.

The wind it created made her hair fly wildly.

She took the opportunity to float backwards for a distance of ten feet.

Create distance.

I just stood still.

Na'er's attack is coming again.

Silver Dragon Flash activates again.

The silvery light cast long afterimages on the ice.

It darts left and right, its trajectory unpredictable.

The silver light at the tip of the spear was like stars in the darkness, its cold gleam sealing off all of Gu Yue's angles of evasion.
