From one person to nine to five

Chapter 699 Ghost Ship (11)

Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the light, and Suzuka Gozen's figure became clear again, but her form had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Her long hair became wilder, and her eyes flashed with a beast-like light. Her sword became even bigger, and the blade was engraved with strange runes. These runes emitted a faint blue light, as if telling an ancient spell.

A powerful aura formed around Suzuka Gozen's body, which was filled with destructive power.

Xu Fu knew that Suzuka Gozen had entered a special combat state, and her strength, speed and combat instincts had been greatly enhanced.

He took a deep breath, mobilized all the strength in his body, and prepared to meet Suzuka Gozen's new wave of attack.

Suzuka Gozen did not give Xu Fu much time to prepare. She appeared in front of Xu Fu in an instant like a ghost. Her long sword made a sound of breaking through the air and chopped directly on Xu Fu's head.

Xu Fu reacted quickly, crossing his hands in front of him, and the golden light formed a solid shield on his arms.

The long sword hit the golden shield, making a sound of metal collision. Xu Fu felt a huge force coming from the shield, and his body involuntarily slid back a few steps.

But he did not retreat. His body leaned forward quickly, the golden shield disappeared in an instant, and he waved his hands quickly, forming golden lightsabers, which counterattacked towards Suzuka Gozen.

Suzuka Gozen's body spun rapidly in the air, and her long sword formed a series of sword shadows as she spun. These sword shadows intertwined in the air, forming a huge sword net that blocked all of Xu Fu's lightsabers.

At the same time, her long sword kept looking for opportunities while spinning, trying to break through Xu Fu's defense.

Facing this dense web of swords, Xu Fu's eyes showed no fear. His body began to move quickly, with a golden afterimage every time he moved. He tried to attack Suzuka Gozen from the side and break her offensive.

At the same time, his hands kept waving, and golden light condensed in his hands, forming golden lightsabers that competed with Suzuka Gozen's sword net.

The fight between the two entered a fierce stage again. Suzuka Gozen's three-meter-long sword was like the scythe of the god of death, and every swing carried a deadly threat.

Xu Fu's golden lightsaber was like the sharp blade of a guardian angel, accurately blocking the blade every time it was swung.

Xu Fu's golden lightsaber and Suzuka Gozen's three-meter-long sword collided violently in the air, and dazzling sparks burst out with every confrontation.

Suzuka Gozen's sword skills have reached a superb level. Each sword contains destructive power. Xu Fu relies on his agility and powerful golden lightsaber to skillfully resolve Suzuka Gozen's offensive.

There was a hint of coldness in Suzuka Gozen's eyes, and her long sword suddenly burst out with an even stronger blue light, and the air around the blade began to distort and deform.

Her body moved quickly on the battlefield like a phantom, and every time she appeared, she brought a deadly sword light with her, trying to force Xu Fu into a desperate situation.

Xu Fu did not waver in the face of Suzuka Gozen's violent attack. His golden lightsaber drew perfect arcs in the air, and every swing of the sword brought a powerful airflow, blocking Suzuka Gozen's sword light one by one.

His steps were steady, and each movement was extremely precise, as if he could predict Suzuka Gozen's next move.

As the battle continued, Xu Fu began to look for Suzuka Gozen's weakness. He noticed that every time Suzuka Gozen swung her long sword, a gap would appear on her left side.

A gleam of light flashed in Xu Fu's eyes, and he decided to take advantage of this flaw and launch a decisive attack.

Suzuka Gozen swung the long sword again, and the blade light was like a blue lightning, slashing directly at Xu Fu's face. Xu Fu's body slightly turned to the side, cleverly avoiding the blow.

At the same time, his golden lightsaber drew an arc in the air and pierced the gap on the left side of Suzuka Gozen.

Suzuka Gozen sensed Xufu's intention, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She quickly stepped back, trying to avoid Xufu's attack. However, Xufu's attack was too fast, and the golden lightsaber had already touched Suzuka Gozen's armor.

Xu Fu stood up slowly. Although his chest was injured, his fighting spirit did not weaken. On the contrary, his eyes flashed with a more blazing light, as if every injury would only make him stronger.

He took a deep breath, mobilized the remaining strength in his body, and prepared to meet Suzuka Gozen's next attack.

Suzuka Gozen did not relax her vigilance because of the counterattack just now. She knew Xu Fu's tenacity and strength. She held the three-meter-long sword tightly, and the runes on the blade flashed a faint blue light in the night, as if accumulating strength for the upcoming decisive battle.

The two's eyes met on the battlefield, and time seemed to freeze at this moment. Everything around them became quiet, leaving only the heavy breathing and heartbeats of the two.

They all knew that the next attack would determine the outcome of the battle.

Suddenly, Suzuka Gozen moved. Her body was like a flash of blue lightning, instantly crossing the distance between the two of them.

The three-meter-long sword drew blue tracks in the air, each track carried a deadly chill, pointing directly at Xu Fu's vital points.

There was no fear in Xu Fu's eyes. His body moved quickly on the battlefield. Golden light condensed in his hands, forming golden lightsabers.

He wielded his lightsaber and clashed with Suzuka Gozen's long sword, and every collision made a crisp metallic sound.

Suzuka Gozen's attacks were like a violent storm, wave after wave, trying to overwhelm Xu Fu's defense. But Xu Fu was like a solid rock, standing firm no matter how fierce the wind and rain were.

His golden lightsaber drew golden tracks in the air, and every swing of the sword was accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air, dissolving Suzuka Gozen's attacks one by one.

As the battle continued, Xu Fu began to look for opportunities to counterattack. He noticed that although Suzuka Gozen's attack was fierce, her body inevitably paused slightly during the continuous offensive.

A gleam of light flashed in Xu Fu's eyes, and he decided to take advantage of this opportunity to launch a fatal blow.

At the moment when Suzuka Gozen swung her sword for the next time, Xu Fu's body suddenly disappeared. He used the afterimage on the battlefield to instantly move to Suzuka Gozen's flank. He held the golden lightsaber tightly in both hands and struck with all his strength, piercing Suzuka Gozen's ribs.

Suzuka Gozen's power was far beyond his imagination. Every time she counterattacked, the waves would surge and form walls of water to block Xu Fu's attack.

Xu Fu knew that he had to find Suzuka Gozen's weakness, otherwise he would not be able to win this battle. Xu Fu took a deep breath, and his eyes became more determined. He began to change the rhythm of his attack, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, trying to disrupt Suzuka Gozen's pace.

At the same time, he began to observe Suzuka Gozen's movements, looking for the connection between her and the waves.

Finally, Xu Fu discovered Suzuka Gozen's weakness. Whenever she synchronized with the waves, her strength would reach its peak, but that was also her most vulnerable moment.

Xu Fu decided to take a risk. He pretended to attack and lured Suzuka Gozen to launch a counterattack.

Suzuka Gozen was fooled, and she synchronized with the waves, preparing to launch a fatal attack.

At this critical moment, Xu Fu suddenly changed the direction of his attack, and his long spear stabbed at Suzuka Gozen at a strange angle. This attack was at the moment when Suzuka Gozen was at her weakest.

The long spear penetrated the waves and pointed directly at Suzuka Gozen's heart. Suzuka Gozen's eyes flashed with surprise. She didn't expect Xu Fu to be able to see through her weakness. However, just as the long spear was about to touch her body, Suzuka Gozen's body suddenly turned into a wave and disappeared into the sea.

With the disappearance of Suzuka Gozen, the sea suddenly became unusually calm, but this calm did not last long. Xu Fu looked around vigilantly, knowing that Suzuka Gozen would not give up.

Sure enough, ripples began to appear on the sea, and a huge ghost ship slowly emerged from the sea fog. The hull was carved with strange runes and emitted a faint blue light.

Suzuka Gozen appeared again, this time she was standing on the bow of the ghost ship, her eyes were sharper, and her power seemed even stronger. The ghost ship moved forward slowly with the surge of the waves. Suzuka Gozen raised her hands, and the waves began to roll, forming a huge water column that revolved around the ghost ship.

Xu Fu gripped his spear tightly, knowing that the next battle would be even more difficult.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and prepared to face a new round of attacks from Suzuka Gozen. His eyes were firm. Although he was facing a powerful opponent, he had no fear in his heart, only the determination to fight.

Suzuka Gozen stepped on the ghost ship and began to attack. She waved her arms, and the sea water turned into countless sharp water arrows, attacking Xu Fu like a rainstorm. Xu Fu quickly waved his long spear, drawing defensive arcs in the air, breaking the water arrows one by one.

Water splashed everywhere, and Xu Fu's body was also wet by the water droplets, but he did not hesitate at all.

Under the control of Suzuka Gozen, the ghost ship began to accelerate, and it rushed towards Xu Fu like a huge beast. Xu Fu quickly retreated, waving his long spear, trying to find a flaw in the ghost ship. His long spear left a trail of marks on the hull of the ghost ship, but the ghost ship did not seem to care about these minor injuries, and it continued to move forward, trying to knock Xu Fu into the sea.

Xu Fu moved quickly on the beach, using the terrain of the beach to avoid the impact of the ghost ship. He knew that once he was hit by the ghost ship, he would lose the ability to fight. He had to stay flexible and find an opportunity to fight back.

Seeing that Xu Fu dodged well, Suzuka Gozen's attacks became more fierce.

She began to summon sea creatures, sharks, sea snakes, and even some unknown deep-sea monsters, which jumped out of the sea and joined the battle. Xu Fu not only had to face the collision of ghost ships, but also had to deal with the attacks of these sea creatures.

Xu Fu's battle became more difficult as he had to deal with attacks from multiple directions at the same time.

His long spear danced in the air, repelling one sea creature after another. Scars began to appear on his body, but his fighting spirit did not weaken in the slightest.

He knew that as long as he could stand, he couldn't give up.

The battle entered a white-hot stage, and Xu Fu and Suzuka Gozen were looking for each other's flaws. Xu Fu noticed that every time Suzuka Gozen summoned sea creatures, her attention would be slightly distracted.

He decided to take advantage of this and began by pretending to attack the ghost ship to draw Suzuka Gozen's attention, then suddenly turned and attacked Suzuka Gozen directly.

Xu Fu stood on the beach, his clothes were soaked with sweat and sea water, but there was still a determination in his eyes.

He knew that in order to end this battle, he had to use his most powerful skill - Clear Sky Expedition.

With the reappearance of Suzuka Gozen's ghost ship, the atmosphere on the sea became more tense. The ghost ship shuttled through the waves, as if a huge ghost was wandering on the sea. Suzuka Gozen's eyes revealed a hint of sneer, as if she had foreseen Xu Fu's failure.

Xu Fu took a deep breath and began to mobilize the energy in his body.

His body began to emit a faint light, which was the internal force he had cultivated for many years. He stuck his long spear into the sand, put his hands together, and began to chant an ancient spell.

As the spell was chanted, the dark clouds in the sky began to dissipate, and the sunlight shone through the gaps in the clouds onto Xu Fu's body, casting a golden halo on his figure.

Suzuka Gozen felt the changes in Xu Fu, and her brows slightly frowned. She knew that Xu Fu was preparing a powerful skill, and she had to stop him.

Suzuka Gozen stepped on the ghost ship and rushed towards Xu Fu quickly. Under her leadership, the waves formed huge water walls, trying to block Xu Fu's spell.

However, Xu Fu's spell was complete. He opened his eyes, and suddenly waved his hands to the sky. A strong airflow was released from his hands and rushed straight into the sky.

This air current, carrying the heat from the sun, swept away the surrounding dark clouds, and the sky instantly became clear.

"Sunny day, great expedition!" Xu Fu shouted, his voice echoing on the beach, as if even the sea was responding to his call. As he spoke, a strong heat burst out from his body, forming a series of heat waves that spread in all directions.

These heat waves were like real flames, instantly evaporating the waves summoned by Suzuka Gozen. The sea water turned into steam under the high temperature and rose into the air.

The ghost ship also began to shake under the impact of the heat wave, and the runes on the hull began to peel off under the high temperature and lost their luster.

Suzuka Gozen felt an unprecedented threat and tried to fight back, but Xu Fu's Clear Sky Expedition was too powerful and her attacks became insignificant in the face of the heat wave.

Xu Fu did not give Suzuka Gozen any chance to breathe. He continued to mobilize the power of the Clear Sky Expedition, and heat waves attacked Suzuka Gozen one after another.

Suzuka Gozen's figure became increasingly blurred in the heat wave. Finally, she could no longer withstand the force, and her body began to gradually dissipate, turning into wisps of sea water and returning to the sea.
