Xia Shuang held the longsword formed from solidified ice in her hand, facing the black scythe head-on.

Where the two came into contact, the ice sword was corroded by the blood energy.

Sizzle, sizzle.

Like hot oil bubbling up, ice is melting.

This scene surprised Qin Tan.

Xia Shuang was actually at a disadvantage!

The sounds of impact continued, and the wind in the air grew even more turbulent—that was the power of Lin Zhisui.

The wind blades condensed and tore through space, but were easily cut in half by the black scythe.

The strange barrier power compressed inward in an attempt to seal the black scythe, but the black scythe merely reversed its blade and slashed through the transparent barrier power.

In a flash, the black scythe descended upon Manny's head and floated down lightly.

It wanted to reap Manny's head.

"careful."

Beside Manny, the taciturn Uncle Shui, his voice hoarse, grabbed Manny and pulled her away, his powerful muscles bulging in his arms.

He punched the black scythe head-on, knocking it off course.

Summer Frost's freezing power followed, freezing the blade of Black Scythe.

Beneath the ice crystals, the jet-black scythe gleamed with an eerie light, and the light and shadow distorted between the two.

Before anyone could even feel a surge of joy, they saw the black scythe trembling violently, and Xia Shuang's power couldn't freeze it for long.

"team leader……"

Lin Zhi retreated, watching the black scythe warily.

"We miscalculated."

Xia Shuang understood Lin Zhisui's meaning; this knife was among the top-tier of its kind.

There are also differences between S and S.

Manny abandoned her offensive, reconstituted the barrier, and expanded its range to cover the entire battlefield to prevent others from entering.

The frozen black scythe was unaffected by gravity and remained suspended in the air.

The ice cracked, and within a few breaths, it shattered into countless ice crystals, like snowflakes flying everywhere.

Xia Shuang's expression was serious. She raised her hand, and starting from the ground, the ice layer condensed upwards. The gathered ice solidified into ferocious ice spikes, the ends of which shimmered with a pale blue light.

It was extremely cold.

The black scythe's tail was caught in the ice.

But before Xia Shuang could refreeze the entire Black Scythe, the ice layer shattered.

The black scythe flashed through the air, leaving a trail of crimson as it sliced ​​through space.

Above their heads, a chilling wind blew from the black sickle, pointing directly at the team members.

Even if the others are not very spiritual, as long as they can see the Grim Reaper's Scythe, they will be under its influence.

This effect will intensify over time.

In a daze, Qin Tan felt as if she were being pulled into that sea of ​​blood again.

She gritted her teeth, her fingers digging into her palms. With her hot breath, the cat in her arms raised its head and silently gazed at Qin Tan.

A faint golden hue reappeared deep within Qin Tan's pupils, gradually expanding.

Until her pupils were filled with gold, Qin Tan caught the trajectory of the black scythe's attack.

No, that's not right!

Her entire being was screaming with spiritual energy.

That thing's target wasn't the team members, but itself.

Unable to explain this intuition, Qin Tan pushed aside the bewildered Ye Jingjing and jumped up, leaving the spot.

In the next instant, the tip of the knife grazed Qin Tan's nose, the murderous intent it carried transforming into a sharp blade that slashed open Qin Tan's cheek.

Thump!

The blade was driven into the ground, cracking the cement road and creating a pothole.

This shocking turn of events left the others utterly astonished.

If Qin Tan hadn't discovered it in advance and reacted, the two would probably be dead now.

Ye Jingjing, who had fallen to the ground, was still shaken. She looked at Qin Tan with gratitude in her eyes.

Qin Tan can't care about these things right now.

She didn't know why, but the black scythe had locked onto her.

With her golden eyes shining brightly, Qin Tan felt that her strength and speed were even greater than before.

"then."

Lin Zhisui threw an iron rod over, which Qin Tan caught, and then held it in front of him to catch another blow from the black scythe.

The violent impact caused Qin Tan excruciating pain in her arm.

But she didn't let go. Instead, she twisted her body to dissipate the force and swung the stick at the black scythe.

This strike brought a whooshing sound.

The stick, though blunt, gleamed with a cold light at this moment, cutting through the air like a sharp weapon.

Its sharpness was indistinguishable from that of the Black Scythe.

The two clashed, like needles clashing against wheat awns, neither willing to give way.

"How is that possible?"

Manny's eyes widened.

"Isn't she a B-level ability?"

What they were seeing was beyond their imagination.

"It's a B-grade cat that can resonate with her. It's very strange."

Xia Shuang figured out the reason.

The cat crouched not far away, quietly watching Qin Tan's battle.

Those golden eyes were exactly the same as Qin Tan's.

Xia Shuang's gaze was fixed on the cat's claws, which then extended and easily pierced the ground as if cutting tofu.

[Resonance] allows the superhuman to use all the abilities of the resonance object. Simply put, the strength of the resonance object determines the strength of the superhuman.

They had seen such extraordinary individuals before, but most of them had performed rather unremarkable acts.

Because this ability determines the existence of resonance when it is awakened, many of them happen suddenly, and some even only resonate with ordinary objects, making them slightly more special than ordinary people.

Therefore, when they saw that Qin Tan's resonance object was a cat, they subconsciously thought that the other party was not very capable.

But who knew that this cat was no ordinary cat?

The sharpness that cats possess can be enhanced into other weapons through the help of extraordinary individuals, which is truly unbelievable.

“Perhaps, she really can take a third path.” Lin Zhisui stroked his chin.

Uncle Shui brought Ye Jingjing back and nodded upon hearing this.
