Chapter 58 Ghost Slash: Gale Slash

Cai Yutong's powerful attacks attracted the attention of the giant semi-mechanical radiation centipede. The strong impact made the monster focus its attention temporarily on Cai Yutong. It swayed its body and charged towards her.

The female gunner maintained her posture, using her silver revolver to shoot out one ice crystal bullet after another to slow down the monster's speed. At the same time, she controlled her movement route and speed, moving in an arc to avoid the monster from running too fast or too far.

To achieve this, Cai Yutong took great risks. If she tried to escape directly, she was a hundred percent sure she could make the huge monster unable to even touch her clothes. But she had to maintain a teasing attack to continue to attract its attention, so she couldn't run too fast.

Any slight mistake could result in her being directly hit by the steel-modified limbs of the giant centipede, which could very likely kill her on the spot.

All of this was to create an opportunity for Liwei.

Liwei did not let her efforts go to waste.

Three seconds later, the Ghost Slash was fully charged.

At this moment, he was about seven to eight meters away from the giant semi-mechanical centipede. This was the closest distance Cai Yutong could fight for, any closer, and the centipede might give him a hit as well.

Having this distance was actually enough.

Bending his legs slightly, then forcefully pushing off, his entire body shot out a great distance in an instant, and the short sword he gripped was swung with all his might!

The short sword didn't directly touch the enemy's body, but the power of the gale had already burst out!

At the same time, along with the tornado that flew out together, there was also the surging power of the demon!

The grand purple-blue tornado swept over the huge centipede in an instant. The blowing effect of the Gale Slash was not enough to bind the monstrous creature, but the wind blades, like tens of thousands of sharp knives, continued to tear at its body. The demon power that colored the entire tornado, with the power of the tornado, penetrated without leaving a trace, erupting with tremendous force, constantly eroding the creature's body.

The power of Ghost Slash was twice that of Steel-Cutting Flash. A fully charged Ghost Slash for three seconds would increase the damage effect by more than three times. Coupled with the storm unleashed by the Gale Slash, Ghost Slash transformed from a high-power melee skill to a medium-range attack, with its power further amplified!

This was now the strongest attack Liwei possessed!

The storm whipped up by the demonic energy lasted for several seconds. When the storm subsided, the monster that had been lively and chasing Cai Yutong lay on the ground gasping for breath. Its half-mechanical, half-flesh body was covered in traces left by the demonic energy, and the purple-blue aura of the ghost power had not dissipated.

Combining the accumulated sword intent with the Gale Slash and the fully charged Ghost Slash, the power was terrifying!

"The power of this move... the power of this move..."

Watching this scene from a distance, Cai Yutong's mouth formed an "O" shape.

Her expression was very different from her identity as the Star of Tomorrow, but she couldn't control her inner astonishment.

At first, she thought Liwei had her attract the monster's attention to trigger the Hellfire Energy Storage Crystal given by Benderui. She really couldn't think of any other way Liwei could turn the situation around. This monster was really hard to deal with, and attacks at the limit level caused minimal damage to it.

But who would have thought that Liwei, with his own strength, would slash out such a terrifying blow?

Even for those who had unlocked their genetic chains, it was difficult to display such a strong skill without a sufficiently high development level, right? Like Benderui, or Qian Long, veteran demon hunters like them, even if they went all out, probably couldn't reach this level.

Didn't this mean that Liwei already had the ability to be compared to those who had unlocked their genetic chains? But he had only completed the extreme tempering not long ago!

Cai Yutong was deeply shocked and felt like she was a fake Star of Tomorrow.

"Can you... help me up?" Liwei's voice brought Cai Yutong back to her senses. She looked at him and saw Liwei, who had just unleashed a devastating blow, now half-kneeling on the ground, his face pale.

She quickly ran over and helped Liwei up.

"Phew..." Liwei let out a long breath, smiling bitterly. "It was really too much just now. That strike took too much effort, and now I can barely move."

"That strike you just made?"

"Yeah? It was the power exerted by this hand of mine." Liwei raised his left arm.

Cai Yutong bit her lip lightly, saying, "So strong."

Liwei waved his hand, not saying anything. He really had no strength left now, and he could not deal with any danger that might arise. He had to rely on his companion's protection; otherwise, any enemy could easily take his life.

The two remained silent. Liwei was recovering his physical strength as quickly as possible. Not to fully recover to his peak state, but at least to have a certain ability to respond to danger.

Meanwhile, Cai Yutong's mind was still mostly focused on Liwei's astonishing attack just now.

She felt a bit lost in her heart.

Since childhood, she had been the pride of the Four Leaf Branch. At such a young age, at eighteen, she had already stood at the peak of the limit level. Under the same level of strength, there were almost no opponents who could match her.

But Liwei's existence had truly overturned all her previous beliefs.

She even had some self-doubt. Wasn't it inappropriate to use the word "genius" to describe herself?

Shaking her head, she dismissed these thoughts.

She looked at Liwei, who was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed, and suddenly felt a surge of determination.

"Don't be discouraged. You shouldn't be discouraged. Now that there is already such a big gap between you and him, if you don't have the courage to catch up, you will be pulled further and further apart. Not to mention catching up with him, even the qualification to become his comrade-in-arms, his companion, will be lost!"

Cai Yutong's determination was strengthened!

"Liwei, use this." She took out a purple energy crystal from her waist pouch.

"Purple crystal?"

"It's a specially made recovery crystal."
