Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

Fang Yue saw the black magic ball roaring towards him with overwhelming force. He was well aware of the risks and consequences of this attack, but he had no intention of retreating.

But just as he was about to fight back with all his might, Ling'er beside him suddenly let out a cry of pain.

It turned out that the confrontation with the black vortex just now and the many consumptions in the previous battles had almost exhausted Ling'er's vitality, and now she was facing the powerful pressure from the magic ball.

Her body finally couldn't bear the burden, her internal energy became disordered, her nine fox tails dimmed instantly, her whole body was shaky, and she was about to lose her ability to fight.

"Ling'er!" Fang Yue shouted anxiously, and flashed to Ling'er's side, reaching out to support her.

Ling'er's face was as pale as paper, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. She tried to hold on to her weak body and said to Fang Yue: "Brother Fang Yue, I... I'm afraid I can't help you. You must be careful."

Fang Yue was filled with heartache and worry, but the situation was critical at the moment, and he knew he had to face the attack of the mysterious Lord alone. He gently placed Ling'er in a relatively safe corner, his eyes became firm again, and he turned to face the rapidly approaching black magic ball.

Just as the magic ball was about to hit him, the ground under Fang Yue's feet suddenly glowed with a strange light. It turned out that this abandoned ancient battlefield had experienced countless battles and accumulated a large amount of evil spirits. At this moment, sensing Fang Yue's determination to go all out and his strong desire to survive and win, these evil spirits actually gathered towards Fang Yue on their own initiative.

Fang Yue only felt a powerful and cold force surging into his body. This force, with the decisiveness and endless resentment of the past battlefields, initially rushed through his body, causing him unbearable pain. However, Fang Yue relied on his tenacious willpower to forcibly suppress this force and guide it to merge with his own vitality.

As the evil spirit of soldiers continued to merge, a layer of cold light appeared around Fang Yue's body, and his eyes gradually turned blood red, as if the evil spirit of soldiers had ignited the fierceness deep in his heart. The sword in his hand was buzzing, and the runes on the sword were intertwined with the newly merged power, emitting a chilling breath.

"bring it on!"

Fang Yue shouted and rushed towards the black magic ball.

He swung his sword, and every strike of his sword at this moment contained the fierce aura of the military and the mighty energy of his own vitality. The sword shadows were heavy, like ferocious beasts pouncing towards the magic ball.

The black magic ball collided with Fang Yue's attack, and a deafening noise suddenly erupted.

The powerful energy shock spread wildly in all directions, blowing all the remaining sand, rocks, and debris on the ancient battlefield into the air.

Fang Yue felt as if he was in the center of a storm, bearing tremendous pressure from the magic ball, but he gritted his teeth and persevered, constantly releasing the fused power in his body through the sword.

In this fierce collision, cracks began to appear on the surface of the black magic ball. The dark power within the magic ball continued to pour out from the cracks, trying to repair the damage, but Fang Yue's attacks were continuous like a storm, leaving it no chance to breathe.

Finally, with a loud bang that shook the earth, the black magic ball could no longer withstand Fang Yue's fierce attack and shattered completely.

It turned into black fragments all over the sky, flying in all directions like raindrops.

The dark power contained in these fragments caused a series of small explosions when they came into contact with the ground and the air. The entire ancient battlefield was blown to pieces and filled with smoke and dust.

The mysterious lord opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.

He didn't expect that Fang Yue could still burst out with such powerful force and break his strongest attack in one fell swoop when Ling'er lost his ability to fight.

"You...how could you?" the mysterious lord roared, with a hint of panic in his voice.

Fang Yue did not respond to him, but just looked at him coldly. At this time, Fang Yue's eyes were red and his aura became more and more fierce, as if he was a Shura returning from hell.

His figure flashed, and he rushed towards the mysterious lord like a ghost. The sword in his hand created a long sword shadow and pierced the mysterious lord's throat.

Upon seeing this, the mysterious lord hurriedly cast a spell to defend himself.

He quickly formed seals with his hands, and a black shield instantly appeared in front of him. Demonic energy was lingering on the shield, emitting powerful defensive power.

Fang Yue's sword pierced the shield, making a harsh metal friction sound.

The power of the sword and the magic of the shield were in a stalemate, and it was difficult to tell which was better.

But the soldier's energy in Fang Yue's body was continuously providing him with strength. He suddenly increased the strength of his hands and shouted, "Break!"

I saw a bright light on the sword, and the cold light formed by the evil spirit of the soldier was wrapped around the sword like a substance, and instantly broke through the shield of the mysterious lord.

The moment the shield was broken, a powerful recoil force caused the mysterious lord to fly backwards.

Fang Yue took advantage of the victory and pursued the mysterious master. His figure was as fast as lightning and he appeared in front of the mysterious master in an instant.

Without any hesitation, he swung the sword again, this time aiming at the heart of the mysterious lord.

The mysterious lord was unable to dodge and was stabbed hard in the chest by the sword.

Black demonic energy gushed out from the wound, an expression of pain appeared on his face, and screams came out of his mouth.

"Do you think you can kill me like this?"

The mysterious Lord said with gritted teeth, even though he was seriously injured, he was still unwilling to be defeated.

He began to burn his remaining magic power, trying to make a final struggle.

The demonic energy around him began to surge wildly again, and his body began to swell, like a balloon about to explode, ready to die together with Fang Yue.

Fang Yue felt the mysterious lord's desperate madness. He knew very well that if he succeeded in self-destructing, this ancient battlefield and even the large areas around it would be completely destroyed, and countless lives would be devastated.

But at this moment, although the evil spirit in his body was still providing him with strength, his own vitality had been severely depleted after the series of fierce battles just now. It was extremely difficult for him to cast a powerful sealing technique again or avoid the impact of the self-explosion.

Fang Yue's heart tightened, knowing that the situation was extremely critical. Staying here and fighting the mysterious master who had self-destructed would undoubtedly lead to his death. Not only would his life be in danger, but the seriously injured Ling'er would also suffer. Without any hesitation, he flashed to Ling'er's side and picked her up.

"Ling'er, hold me tight!" Fang Yue shouted anxiously, with unquestionable determination in his voice.

Although Ling'er was extremely weak, she still obediently stretched out her arms and hugged Fang Yue's neck tightly. Her eyes were full of trust in Fang Yue, and even though she was in a desperate situation at the moment, she was not panicked at all.

Fang Yue hugged Ling'er tightly, exerted force on his feet, and rushed out of the ancient battlefield like an arrow. He used his fastest body skills, and his figure turned into a blurry light and shadow in the air, bringing a whistling wind. However, the breath of the mysterious master's self-explosion became stronger and stronger, and the destructive power surged from behind like a surging tide. Fang Yue only felt a hot and oppressive energy following him closely, as if it would swallow them up in the next moment.

"Brother Fang Yue..." Ling'er spoke weakly, her eyes full of worry.

"Don't be afraid, Ling'er, I'm here!" Fang Yue responded while gritting his teeth. He mobilized all the remaining evil spirit and vitality in his body and poured them into his legs, trying to speed up.

But the speed at which the destructive force spread was too fast, and it was approaching in the blink of an eye. Fang Yue only felt a burning sensation behind him, as if there was a raging fire burning. He knew that the edge of the self-destruction force had reached him.

At this critical moment, Fang Yue's eyes were as fast as lightning, and he suddenly caught a glimpse of a hidden valley entrance not far ahead. The valley exuded a mysterious atmosphere, as if it was protected by some kind of power.

Fang Yue's heart moved, and he didn't care about anything else at the moment. He rushed towards the entrance of the valley with all his strength.

Finally, at the moment when the destructive force was about to completely cover them, Fang Yue rushed into the valley holding Ling'er.

As soon as they entered the valley, Fang Yue felt a strange force enveloping them. The surging force of self-explosion behind him seemed to be isolated by this force. The oppressive feeling of heat and destruction disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Fang Yue breathed a sigh of relief, stumbled, and nearly fell. He steadied himself and slowly put Ling'er down. Both of them were pale and breathing heavily.

"Brother Fang Yue, have we... escaped this disaster?" Ling'er asked weakly, with relief in her eyes at having survived the disaster.

Fang Yue nodded slightly and looked outside the valley, where there was still a scene of chaos and destruction, smoke and dust filled the air, the earth was shaking, and bursts of roars were heard from time to time. It was obvious that the mysterious lord's self-detonation was still causing damage.

"It's safe for now, but this valley is a little strange, we have to be careful." Fang Yue said, looking around vigilantly.

The valley was filled with a layer of light mist, and there were faint colorful lights flickering in the mist, as if hiding countless secrets. The surrounding vegetation was also very strange, all of which were magical herbs and trees that Fang Yue had never seen before. They exuded bursts of fragrance, which made people feel refreshed.

Ling'er also realized the extraordinary nature of this valley. She forced herself to stand up, and stood side by side with Fang Yue, observing the surroundings together.

"Brother Fang Yue, the vitality here is so rich, maybe it will help us recover from our injuries." Ling'er said.

Fang Yue frowned slightly. He also felt the rich vitality, but he was still a little worried: "Although the vitality here is strong, it is too mysterious. We must not be careless."

As he spoke, he gently gripped the sword and remained alert.

The two stopped at the edge of the valley and observed for a while, then found nothing unusual.

Fang Yue looked at Ling'er's pale face and thought that this place might really help them recover from their injuries, so he said:

"Ling'er, let's find a place to rest and recover some strength, and then see what the situation is in this valley."

Ling'er nodded, and the two of them slowly walked into the valley.

Along the way, they discovered that the magical herbs and trees here seemed to have some kind of pattern. In some places, the magical herbs were distributed in a circle, with a stone emitting soft light in the center.
In some places, the trees are intertwined to form peculiar arch shapes, as if they are natural barriers.

As they walked, they came to a small lake.

The lake water is crystal clear and you can see colorful lights flickering at the bottom of the lake, as if there are treasures.

There is a circle of flat grassland around the lake, with colorful flowers blooming on the grassland. The fragrance of flowers is refreshing.

"Brother Fang Yue, it's so beautiful here, and it feels very comfortable." Ling'er said softly, with a hint of joy in her eyes.

Fang Yue looked at Ling'er and felt relieved: "Ling'er, you take a rest here. I'll go check if there is any danger around."

Ling'er nodded, sat down on the grass, and began to try to circulate the disordered energy in her body, absorbing the energy in the valley to repair her injuries.

Fang Yue carefully patrolled along the lakeside and found that the lake water seemed to contain a special energy. This energy was different from the evil spirit of soldiers. It was pure and gentle. If it could be used, it might be of great help in restoring vitality.

Just as Fang Yue was about to approach the lake to explore further, ripples suddenly appeared in the water.

A golden carp monster jumped out of the water. It was huge, and its scales shone brightly with golden light under the sunlight. Each scale seemed to have mysterious patterns on it.

The carp monster drew a graceful arc in the air and then fell back into the water, splashing a large amount of water.

When the splashes dissipated, the carp monster's huge head poked out of the water, and its pair of big copper-bell-like eyes stared at Fang Yue, flashing with vigilance and curiosity.

“Humans, how did you get in here? No outsiders have ever set foot here.” The carp monster spoke in human language, his voice was low and deep, echoing on the lake.

Fang Yue stopped and saluted: "We are being chased by the enemy and have no intention of entering your place. We hope you can understand. We just want to take shelter here temporarily and will leave when we recover from our injuries."

The carp demon swung its tail slightly, and ripples appeared on the lake. "You carry the blood and chaos of the outside world with you. This is our pure land and cannot be polluted by you."

Fang Yue hurriedly explained: "We have no ill intentions, and we don't want to disturb the tranquility here. My companion was seriously injured, and we just hope to use the vitality of this place to heal his injuries."

"She can stay, but you human must go!" said the carp monster.

Although Fang Yue was reluctant to leave, looking at Ling'er's weak yet pleading eyes, he knew that if he forced himself to stay, it would probably bring more trouble to Ling'er.

Since the carp demon has agreed to let Ling'er stay, at least she can heal her wounds here in peace, which is better than both of them being expelled.

Fang Yue gritted his teeth, slowly put down the sword he had been holding tightly in his hand, took a deep breath, saluted to the carp demon with his fists, and said:

"Master Carp Demon, since you insist so much, I will leave here as you say. I also hope that you can take care of Miss Ling'er because she is seriously injured, and don't let her suffer any injustice or harm here."

When Ling'er heard that Fang Yue was leaving, her eyes suddenly turned red and she struggled to stand up. (End of this chapter)
