"I will never let you... leave the Skysplitter!"
Feixiao's attacks weren't particularly fierce.
But she acted frequently!
Her speed was also fast!
Moreover.
This was Feixiao, who hadn't yet unleashed any special skills!
She kept using Basic Attacks!
March 7th's voice was on the verge of tears: "Damn, I thought we could catch a break!"
"What do we do? Should we fight or run~?"
"At this point, running isn't an option," Yanqing said.
Soon.
Feixiao's health dropped to 1%.
Yet she seemed like she had just warmed up.
She shouted: "Stop resisting!"
With a wave of her hands.
A powerful storm surged from her body.
Directly blowing Yanqing, Yunli, and March 7th away!
Even their weapons were knocked from their hands.
Yunli gritted her teeth, looking ahead.
"We can't let her leave!"
March 7th was sprawled on the ground, muttering, "But we're completely outmatched here, aren't we?"
Yunli remained silent.
She simply turned her head.
Her eyes revealed a look of unwavering determination.
Then.
She charged forward!
March 7th, unwilling to give up, struggled to her feet.
She swapped the sword in her hand for a bow!
In the sky.
Glittering lights began to appear.
Soon after,
Various ice sculptures of Pom-Pom descended from above!
This was March 7th's ultimate move of the Path of Preservation!
However.
An attack of this level posed no threat whatsoever to Feixiao.
She stood her ground, not even bothering to lift a finger!
Despite that!
March 7th's attack still managed to buy some time!
Behind the icy mist.
Yunli launched a surprise assault!
But Feixiao had anticipated it.
She turned around.
The two of them now locked each other's wrists in a stalemate.
A test of strength ensued!
...
"Wait, March 7th, didn't you leave your bow behind?"
"March 7th seamlessly switched Paths, huh."
"I didn't expect Yunli to charge in and engage in a strength contest... This girl is seriously strong!"
"Yunli is truly a powerhouse, sending Hoolay flying with a single strike and now going toe-to-toe with Feixiao..."
"What's going on with Feixiao here? Is she hallucinating or has she already lost control?"
"It's fine, Feixiao just wants to beat Yanqing for an achievement."
...
For the moment, Yunli could still hold her own against Feixiao.
But it was clear this wouldn't last long!
Because.
At this moment, Feixiao flashed a very "healthy" smile!
It feels like I could devour two Yunlis in one bite!
At that moment.
It was Yanqing again!
Muttering to himself.
"She said the rest is up to us."
"She believes we can do it!"
Feixiao had already lifted Yunli off the ground.
Then, with a flying kick!
She spun Yunli around and threw her.
At that moment.
Yanqing finally finished charging his attack!
He hurled his spear!
Just as Feixiao turned around.
It struck her right in the face!
"BOOM!!!!"
A thunderous sound echoed.
The scene shifted.
Back to the operating room.
"I will definitely heal you... Feixiao," Jiaoqiu said to Feixiao lying on the operating table.
"No one can live forever, Jiaoqiu... this time, I must break my promise."
It's over!
Feixiao's life flashed before her eyes!
Just as many players watching thought this.
The scene suddenly changed again!
This time.
The place that appeared was even more eerie!
Surrounded by mist and lightning.
Feixiao looked around in confusion.
"Is this... the Skysplitter? Or somewhere else?"
A vague voice sounded.
"Yanqing, execute the military regulations of the Yun Cavalry. Understood?"
"Don't let her leave here!"
"Wake up, General!"
These...
were the voices from the Crimson Moon arena earlier.
Feixiao seemed lost in thought.
As if she already knew what had happened.
At that moment.
Behind her.
A low, oppressive voice rang out.
"You always leave the tougher battles for yourself."
"Just like now, never knowing what it means to escape."
Appearing before Feixiao.
Was that lingering monster—
Hoolay!
He stared at Feixiao.
And continued, "Strange, isn't it? As an enemy, I understand you better than your comrades."
"Hoolay...!"
Feixiao's gaze darkened.
Her eyes filled with rage!
"This anger... it's so nostalgic. I know it seeks not victory, but the hunt itself."
"Am I right, Feixiao?"
Feixiao closed her eyes, then opened them again.
As if adjusting her mindset.
She spoke, "You shouldn't exist. I saw you die with my own eyes..."
"Just treat me as an illusion."
Hoolay, unlike before.
Didn't immediately attack, but seemed ready to engage in a philosophical discussion!
"Before every hunt, I prepare to return in failure. But this time is different, this time... failure is the end I'm heading towards."
"When I learned your story from Jiaoqiu, I discovered he's been hiding a secret... a secret whose significance even the physician himself hasn't realized."
"How ironic fate is. I've been waiting for this day, but I never thought it would come in this form."
"...But I'm willing to accept it."
"As for now, let's dig into the ironclad defenses of the Arbiter-General's heart and see what lies in her darkest corners."
...
"What?"
"???"
"This is Feixiao's inner world, right?"
"What is Hoolay? An illusion? A demon?"
"Is it the Crimson Moon? Maybe some memories of the previous war leader remain..."
"I have a feeling... this is a trap within a trap set by Hoolay!"
"The fate mentioned here probably refers to the birth of the new war leader."
"Feixiao possesses Borisin bloodline, so she is qualified to compete for the position of War Chief. That's why Hoolay wants to pass the Crimson Moon to her!"
"For Hoolay, finding a successor is probably more important than his own life..."
"This is bad. They're trying to turn our Sky Striker General against us!"
...
Following Hoolay's gaze.
Ahead.
Illusions began to appear.
All depicting scenes of Borisins attacking the people of Xianzhou.
At the very back.
Was a scene of Feixiao fighting a group of Borisins.
Hoolay's voice rang out.
"These familiar scenes, the people of Xianzhou must have shown them to you countless times. But all of this is merely what they want you to see."
"They make you fight to save the weak. But have they ever told you that, stripped of all the warm disguises, this is how the universe is supposed to be?"
"When Xianzhou was weak, they disguised themselves as victims to win your sympathy; when Xianzhou became strong, they crowned you as an avenger, demanding you uphold justice."
"I've found it... this is your doubt."
...
"?"
"So, Hoolay, you've started to master the art of psychological warfare?"
"No! I just want to ask, when has Xianzhou ever been weak?"
"This is about making Feixiao doubt whether she, like the Borisins, only knows how to kill. I must say, Hoolay is quite the manipulator!"
"The law of the jungle is indeed a rule, but so are compassion, unity, and so on. Ignoring any one aspect and viewing the problem from a single angle will lead to errors."
"Translation: Putting aside the facts, this is how it should be."
"Daring to spout such nonsense in front of our Sky Striker General, he truly doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
