Chapter 401: Time-Stopping Fluffy White Girl and Her Stand User!
Chen Qi's body was covered in a faint layer of frost, his limbs becoming extremely stiff.
Big White Hair's time freeze!
Except for Chen Qi, including Blood Hunter, everyone present's movements had completely frozen solid.
And the burning blade in Blood Hunter's right hand was already pressed against Yisha's neck, cutting through her delicate skin, leaving a faint wound.
It could be said that in just an instant, Yisha's neck would gush with large amounts of blood.
However, at such close distance, all she could do was briefly defend.
If not for the Ice Witch, this Third Princess of the Goldenfinch Kingdom might be buried in foreign soil!
If Yisha died, who knew what terrifying actions the Goldenfinch Kingdom would take.
You came just in time, Big White Hair...
Chen Qi secretly rejoiced in his heart.Although the Ice Witch could be somewhat mischievous, he had to admit that whether as a teacher or a protector, she was exceptionally reliable!
Wait...
Chen Qi froze for a moment.
Three seconds had already passed.
Where is Big White Hair?
Where are you?
Crack!
Suddenly, the time freeze ended without warning!
What's happening, could Big White Hair's time freeze have been broken! Chen Qi's pupils widened dramatically, and he immediately assumed a combat stance.
Swish!
Blood Hunter's right hand moved downward, slashing once at Yisha's neck. Large amounts of blood sprayed from her neck, dyeing the sea red!
"Save—"
Before Yisha's cry for help could fully form, it turned into a hoarse, agonized scream.
In that instant, golden flowers bloomed from Yisha's neck, stitching together the mangled flesh of her throat at an unimaginable speed.
Princess Yisha's life-preserving relic, Goldenfinch's Protection, when facing fatal injury, would consume the relic's life energy to rapidly repair the body!
But all this move could do was help her barely withstand one of Blood Hunter's attacks!
Also in that instant, Yisha's right hand quickly formed a magic circle.
Against a complete fifth-tier being, no matter how powerful a fourth-tier Transcendent was, they had no means of resistance.
Moreover, the monster before her was a Saint possessing the Great Whale's heart!
At this moment, only by coordinating with all the legends present,
while simultaneously using her trump card to summon the great flower beast of Saint-level strength, revered as the symbol of life, could she have a sliver of hope to survive under Blood Hunter's blade!
However, this relic wasn't without cost—its use required a powerful pet beast as the physical vessel!
Among her pet beasts, only Little Golden Flower Fox's body could withstand this power!
Once activated, Little Golden Flower Fox would undoubtedly die.
Should she summon the great flower beast at the cost of Little Golden Flower Fox's death, or trust her relic and instincts to find a way to withstand another of Blood Hunter's attacks?
In that instant, Yisha hesitated.
A moment's hesitation would determine life and death.
The still-young Yisha couldn't bear to abandon Little Golden Flower Fox who had accompanied her for so long!
And Blood Hunter's right hand was already descending—his second strike was coming!
The blade had arrived!
Yisha chose to directly bend her arm to block this attack!
Clang!
However, her arm engraved with defensive runes was like fragile clay under Blood Hunter's blade—
She turned her head, her sapphire eyes already stained with blood and tears, looking once more toward the Black Hunter's direction.
Yet Black Hunter merely glanced at her calmly, turned back, and snapped his fingers again, saying:
"Big White Hair! Come out quickly!"
Big White Hair? Sounds like a dog's name... Yisha froze.
Was Black Hunter just summoning some dog pet beast?
At a time like this, still summoning pet beasts, was he insane!?
Crack!
Time began freezing again!
In the frozen time, Chen Qi's gaze fixed intently on the distant horizon.
"Huff, huff, huff—"
There, on the far horizon, a witch with disheveled hair was freezing the seawater beneath her feet into ice while saying in a hoarse voice:
"Damn Little Black Hair, don't... don't call me... Big... Big White..."
"My... breathing..."
The Ice Witch bent over, her face completely red, panting heavily, pain radiating from her chest, swinging her arms with all her might.
The fate projections had consumed most of her spiritual energy, forcing her to physically run here!
However, as a witch, she hadn't exercised for a very, very long time.
Chen Qi was stunned.
The reason the Ice Witch hadn't appeared earlier was because she wasn't fast enough!
Big White Hair is way too out of shape!
At this moment, the Ice Witch resembled a weak student who had just run a thousand meters, suddenly being told they had to run another thousand!
Chen Qi watched this scene with mixed feelings.
"Huff, huff, huff..."
The Ice Witch mustered all her strength, desperately trying to reach Yisha within five seconds.
Then she spent one second giving Chen Qi the middle finger, drank a special potion made by Fen, combed her disheveled hair, and placed her right hand on Blood Hunter's blade—
Everything ready!
The Ice Witch suppressed any urge to cheer, assumed a cold expression, and cast a spell, freezing Blood Hunter's blade.
Crack!
Let time flow again!
Clang!
A massive shockwave swept across the sea.
Except for Chen Qi and the witch, everyone had the same question:
Could Lady Yisha withstand this attack?
As the shockwave dispersed, everyone present widened their eyes, unable to help but gasp in astonishment!
This, this is impossible!
There, at the center of the shockwave, a white-haired, red-eyed girl had appeared out of nowhere, pressing down Blood Hunter's flaming blade—which could split thousand-meter waves across the sea—with her bare hands!
Appearing from thin air, single-handedly saving Princess Yisha!
Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!
The Canary Caravan and pirates were all shocked by the Ice Witch's power.
"..."
Blood Hunter's pupils sharply contracted.
So beautiful... Yisha also looked up, the Ice Witch's soft white hair gently falling onto her face.
The Ice Witch turned her head, looked at Blood Hunter, and revealed a witch's cunning smile:
"Too slow, little hound~"
"!!!"
Blood Hunter couldn't believe it. Like a startled beast, he flashed backward, quickly creating a hundred-meter distance.
"Startled, little hound—"
The Ice Witch looked at Blood Hunter as if she had already predicted all his actions.
And Yisha, her life-and-death crisis resolved, looked at the witch before her, snot running down her face like a frightened child, saying gratefully:
"Big White Hair! Thank you!"
No need to thank, wait, Big White... The Ice Witch glanced at Chen Qi, shielding Yisha behind her:
"Little hound, still want to play?"
Blood Hunter pressed down on his Ever-Burning Blade, bending his muscular back like a hound holding a blade.
He took a deep breath and said calmly:
"Witch, stop bluffing, your spiritual energy field is too weak..."
Chen Qi stroked his chin.
Only now did he realize the Ice Witch's spiritual energy field had dropped to fourth-tier level.
This was the price of using fate projections.
The Ice Witch had said that for a long time after using fate projections, she would be in a severely weakened state.
It seems the current Ice Witch isn't Blood Hunter's match... Chen Qi frowned deeply.
However, the Ice Witch didn't care at all. She leisurely retorted:
"Is that so? Little hound, your heart and your body don't seem perfectly compatible."
After saying this, she made a gesture of crushing a heart.
So strong... Yisha hid behind the Ice Witch.
In that moment, she seemed to see the Queen of the Goldenfinch Kingdom.
The Ice Witch is still taunting... Chen Qi froze.
He strongly suspected the Ice Witch wasn't Blood Hunter's match.
But the Ice Witch's expression remained unchanged, even pouring herself a cup of black tea.
Could it be that the Ice Witch truly has another trump card? Chen Qi analyzed.
As the protagonist of the Witch Sea, the Ice Witch possessed many powerful trump cards to counter Blood Hunter.
He wondered what card the Ice Witch would use this time.
"..."
Blood Hunter didn't say much, silently drawing the second of his six blades—
Thirst-Blood Blade!
A forbidden weapon that manipulated blood, absorbed blood, and turned blood into puppets.
"Come, witch—"
Blood Hunter wasted no words. His twin blades flashed, drawing a line of flame and a blood trail in the air as he flashed before the Ice Witch.
Twin Blade Slash!
A massive shockwave behind the Ice Witch split enormous waves.
The Ice Witch took a sip of black tea.
Crack!
Time stopped again!
"..."
The Ice Witch finished her black tea in one gulp.
Then, without any hesitation, she came before Chen Qi.
Huh? Chen Qi froze.
At this timing, instead of attacking Blood Hunter, why come to me?
There, the Ice Witch clenched her small fists and threw a flurry of punches at Chen Qi.
Bang bang bang bang!
While punching, the Ice Witch said:
"Damn Little Black Hair!"
Huh? Chen Qi was shocked.
What's happening!
After venting her anger, in the next instant, the Ice Witch tightly hugged Chen Qi.
"???"
What's happening? Why suddenly hug me?
Chen Qi froze completely, the Ice Witch's hair falling on his ears, making him itchy.
The Ice Witch's body is warmer than imagined... Chen Qi suddenly felt that Big White Hair was quite gentle even in the stopped time world.
Hitting me, then hugging me... Chen Qi completely couldn't understand the Ice Witch's thoughts.
Then, the Ice Witch said in a soft, saint-like voice:
"Melt away—"
With the witch's embrace, the frost on Chen Qi's body quickly disappeared.
Smack!
Without any hesitation, the Ice Witch pinched Chen Qi's cheek with her hand!
"Little Black Hair! This is, the stopped time world, I need, your, help!"
"Together, fight, Blood Hunter!"
The Ice Witch explained the current situation at rapid speed.
Chen Qi rubbed his aching face, looking down at the Ice Witch.
The Ice Witch expressionlessly turned her head, staring intently at Blood Hunter.
Although very unwilling to admit it, she now needed Little Black Hair's help to repel Blood Hunter without consuming her life-saving relics!
"Huff..."
Chen Qi took a deep breath, adjusting his Breathing Technique.
Earlier, the Ice Witch had used a spell to release him from time freeze.
So I am the witch's trump card after all... Chen Qi held his forehead, looking toward the frozen sea, and replied:
"I understand."
Yisha still wore a terrified expression.
Blood General and the injured Haige only dared to watch from afar.
And Blood Hunter was already in a blade-drawing posture mid-air. Once time started flowing again, his twin blades would descend with the momentum, overturning this sea area!
"You, behind."
The Ice Witch raised a finger, creating a massive ice fog over the sea.
Go behind Blood Hunter... Chen Qi gripped his Rift Blade, passed through the ice fog, and arrived behind Blood Hunter.
He understands my meaning... The Ice Witch bit her lip. She hadn't expected Chen Qi to adapt to her stopped time space so quickly and coordinate with her.
Little Black Hair's comprehension is quite high... She returned to her previous position, took a step back, and snapped her fingers.
Crack!
Time began flowing again!
Blood Hunter's twin blades descended, striking before the Ice Witch.
Instantly, two hundred-meter waves—one red, one dark—appeared on the sea!
If this blade struck me... Yisha pressed her blood-stained neck.
Yet facing this attack, the Ice Witch merely gently swirled her black tea.
When did this ice fog appear... Blood Hunter's eyes darted around.
In that instant, he sensed the blade affinity spiritual energy field behind him!
Ember's Bloom! Black Wave Slash!
In the moment Blood Hunter paused, a black figure flashed behind Blood Hunter.
Chen Qi's Ember's Touch behind him gripped the Rift Blade, slashing at Blood Hunter!
Clang!
A loud sound echoed as raging black flames covered Blood Hunter's neck!
However, a horrifying scene occurred.
Facing this blade-released fourth-tier attack, Blood Hunter merely turned his head, rubbed his neck, and said:
"That tickles."
Absolute defense! Chen Qi immediately used Hound's Pace to quickly create distance.
The current Blood Hunter had already fused with the Great Whale's power. Ordinary moves couldn't cause any effective damage to his body!
Completely unable to break through his defense!
Amid the raging shockwaves, Blood Hunter gripped his twin blades' hilts again, turning his head to look at the Ice Witch:
"Witch, do you only know how to dodge?"
In Blood Hunter's view, although the current Ice Witch still had some strange aspects, her attacks still couldn't break through his defense.
This was the body fused with the Great Whale's power!
Last time... The Ice Witch glanced at Chen Qi, didn't say more, but extended her finger, making a gun gesture toward Blood Hunter:
"Little hound, have you heard of Collapse Magic Bullet?"
"?"
Blood Hunter tilted his head, his neck making gear-like cracking sounds.
Collapse Magic Bullet was the Magic Bullet Family's forbidden creation that could cause terrifying spatial wounds. However, this weapon required large heavy firearms—
This wasn't a bullet that could be cast with spells!
The Ice Witch closed one eye and whispered:
"Bang!"
Crack!
Yet in the next instant, Blood Hunter's eyes widened dramatically.
How is this possible!
There, a sensation of being cut by a blade appeared out of nowhere on his neck!
Immediately after, a terrifying ten-meter black lightning flashed across. His body, comparable to a deep-sea titan, actually had a three-centimeter wound!
This black lightning ignored his invincible physique, gouging out his flesh and blood!
It was the power of spatial collapse!
What exactly attacked me? This is the legendary witch! Blood Hunter's eyes widened dramatically.
His spiritual energy perception couldn't even detect the Ice Witch's attack wind-up.
As if there was a ghost circling around the Ice Witch.
If not for the Great Whale heart's defense, this attack could have even shaved off his bones!
Rift Blade. Spatial Collapse...
In the distance, Chen Qi silently sheathed his blade.
He had just used the Rift Blade's ultimate weapon skill 'Spatial Collapse' on Blood Hunter during the stopped time.
This attack, besides damaging rifts and domains, could also cause massive true damage.
Never imagined that one day, I would help Big White Hair fight monsters in the stopped time world.
Big White Hair's stand user... Chen Qi internally quipped.
Blood Hunter looked down at the wound on his chest, then looked at the Ice Witch again.
Although weakened, the Ice Witch was still stronger than he imagined.
The combat is strange, still lacking necessary intelligence... Blood Hunter sheathed his two long blades:
"Witch, until next time in Moonstone City. The true calamity is coming soon."
After saying this, he transformed into a blood mist and disappeared from this sea.
"..."
Blood Hunter, left...
The entire sea fell silent for three full seconds.
"Wahoo!"
"Lady Big White Hair!!!"
Then the Canary Caravan erupted with fierce cheers.
"Run away ya!"
In the distance, the pirate alliance also quickly turned their ships around, fleeing the area.
"Big White Hair sister!"
Yisha looked at the witch before her in disbelief.
This girl with only a fourth-tier spiritual energy field had actually forced back a Saint-level peak monster!
Without doubt, this expert called Big White Hair by Black Hunter must be that legendary witch!
So elegant! Yisha excitedly stepped forward, trying hard to straighten her back, saying sincerely:
"Thank you for your help, Lady Ice Witch! Without you, I might have... died in this sea today..."
"Just lending a hand."
The Ice Witch raised her head, shaking the black tea with trembling hands.
"Elegant..."
Yisha, having survived the life-and-death crisis, looked at the Ice Witch, her face blushing.
Never expected there to be such an elegant and powerful existence in the Witch Sea!
Damn, Big White Hair really showed off... Chen Qi looked down at his aching right hand.
Using the Rift Blade's Spatial Collapse had also caused significant damage to his body.
Then Yisha walked over and bowed to Chen Qi too:
"Black Hunter, thank you for summoning Lady Ice Witch."
"Elegance is my clan's motto. I will never treat my lifesavers poorly, Lady Witch, Black Hunter!"
"As long as our Canary Caravan can do it! No matter what, you can entrust it to me!"
Anything... Chen Qi swallowed hard.
