She gritted her teeth, held her slender soft sword horizontally above her head, and tried to take the hit head-on.
Aoqiu's eyes were bloodshot; he had clearly used all his strength in this attack, determined to smash Bai Ruyu into a pulp.
The air was filled with the booming sound of a giant hammer being swung at high speed.
Witnessing this perilous scene from afar, Li Yu immediately drew his bow and prepared to lend a helping hand.
Just as the giant hammer was about to smash into the soft sword, a hole suddenly burst open beneath Bai Ruyu's feet, spewing out a large amount of river water. She used the momentum to leap upwards.
Ocho's giant hammer slammed heavily into the ground, creating a huge crater.
Bai Ruyu spun around in mid-air, her soft sword flashing like a snake's tongue as she thrust it straight at Aoqiu's throat.
Ouqiu was shocked and tried to dodge, but it was too late. He could only instinctively raise his arm to block.
With a "plop," the soft sword, like a sharp thorn, easily pierced through the rock protection attached to Oqiu's body and successfully pierced into Oqiu's arm, causing blood to gush out immediately.
Oqiu, in pain and anger, swung his other hand, grabbed the giant hammer, and smashed it down on Bai Ruyu in mid-air with even greater force than before.
Bai Ruyu quickly withdrew her soft sword and, once again using the buoyancy of the river water, skillfully dodged Aoqiu's attack in mid-air.
In fact, Bai Ruyu had been deliberately standing in the gap under the river embankment; her supernatural abilities were already connected to the river water.
She was like a patient hunter, waiting for this moment, using her perfect coordination with water to deliver a fatal blow to Ouchi.
Enraged by the pain, Ouqiu roared, "You bitch!"
Before she could finish speaking, she was shocked to find that Bai Ruyu's figure was no longer in front of her.
The next second, Ouqiu felt a chill down his spine.
Bai Ruyu appeared behind Ao Qiu without warning, her sword blade like a snake, piercing straight for his heart!
"Pfft!"
The sword tip gently pierced the rock, penetrating three-tenths of an inch into the flesh.
"ah!"
Aoqiu roared in pain and swung his hammer backhand, forcing Bai Ruyu back.
At this moment, Oqiu was filled with doubt:
'I've completely covered myself in rocks, so why can't I defend myself?'
Given the defensive power of the rock, it would be impossible for an ordinary person to harm her, yet this soft sword was able to pierce through it.
She felt a sharp pain in her back, as if a red-hot iron had been plunged into her body, and a hint of fear finally appeared in her eyes:
"You...who exactly are you?"
Bai Ruyu gently stroked the soft sword in her hand, its blade gleaming with a cool light, and said softly:
"The water of the Huanglong River is not something that just anyone can borrow."
Ochi instantly realized something and was startled:
'This vixen's surname is Bai! Could it be...?'
Bai Ruyu slowly raised her eyes, a cold glint flashing in them, and looked directly at Ao Qiu, continuing in a cold voice:
"And you, the traitor from Zhongzhou who colluded with foreign tribes, are destined to sink to the bottom of the Yellow Dragon River today!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Ruyu suddenly swung her sword, and the river behind her suddenly surged with huge waves, which turned into countless sword blades that swept towards Aoqiu!
Oqiu gritted his teeth, roared, and swung his giant hammer, frantically defending himself like a trapped beast.
The giant hammer spun rapidly in her hands, forming a defensive barrier.
But the river water kept flowing, her movements gradually slowed down, and she sustained more and more wounds.
Unwilling to accept defeat, Oqiu unleashed his inner energy, causing the surrounding rocks and ground to tremble.
She tried to summon the rocks again to protect herself, but each rock seemed to be tightly bound by the wet river water. No matter how hard she tried to pull with her powers, the rocks did not budge.
Ao Qiu looked at Bai Ruyu opposite him, instantly understood everything, and couldn't help but curse:
"Damn it! It was you who did this."
Seeing the rocks that couldn't get close to him, Ouqiu's veins bulged, and he exerted his strength once more.
Suddenly, the ground cracked open with a spiderweb-like fissure, and the seeping river water coiled around all the rocks like a swarm of snakes.
The massive rocks, already soaked with rainwater, were as heavy as mountains and remained motionless.
Bai Ruyu, holding the Spirit Serpent Soft Sword, stood gracefully on the crest of the river waves.
Her hair was damp with moisture, and strands clung to her cheeks, making her look exceptionally charming.
Bai Ruyu suddenly stuck out her slender tongue and gently licked her rosy lips, her eyes revealing confidence:
"It's true that earth controls water, but unfortunately, in my hands, water is the all-pervasive master!"
She paused, looked at the surging river around her, and continued:
"After all, there's just too much water here!"
"With your strength, you are not yet capable of mobilizing the power of the earth."
Bai Ruyu manipulated the water like thousands of water nails, which connected to form a giant net that had already firmly pinned down the surrounding rocks.
The rocks were completely immobilized by the water.
Seeing that Bai Ruyu had suddenly gained the upper hand, Li Yu slowly lowered the bow in his hand.
However, he seemed to sense a familiar aura emanating from the Yellow Dragon River.
I could vaguely sense something enormous swimming in the river.
After several rounds of fighting, Ouqiu became increasingly anxious.
In a battle that should have been a sure victory, she was unable to defeat Bai Ruyu in the first instance, and was instead gradually pushed into a desperate situation by her opponent.
Ao Qiu knew that the fox spirit wasn't the only opponent here; Li Yu, who had kidnapped his brother, was also watching closely and could make a move at any moment.
If this continues, I'm sure to die!
Immediately, a ruthless glint flashed in Ocho's eyes.
She didn't care about anything else anymore and decided to fight to the death.
She stopped using her rock-based abilities to attack and instead used all her remaining energy to strengthen her body.
Ochu bit his tongue hard, and a mouthful of sweet, metallic blood rushed to his throat. He spat out a mouthful of blood and roared:
"Berserk Mode—!!"
Bai Ruyu frowned: "Overdrawing your superpowers? Risking your life?"
Ochu grinned maliciously, his voice hoarse:
"You little vixen, even if we both perish today, I'll take you down with me!"
Having said that, Aoqiu raised the giant hammer, stomped his feet on the ground, and charged towards Bai Ruyu like a cannonball.
This attack, seemingly simple and direct, carried a do-or-die spirit, giving Bai Ruyu a strong sense of pressure.
Bai Ruyu could have continued to use the trap she set to slowly wear down Aoqiu.
But she was standing on the Yellow Dragon River at this moment, and with the advantage of her superpower and control over the river, how could she be afraid!
A resolute glint flashed in Bai Ruyu's eyes as she slowly plunged the soft sword in her hand into the river.
In an instant, the waters of the Huanglong River rushed toward her.
As Ao Qiu attacked, Bai Ruyu suddenly thrust out her soft sword.
Sword thrusts, hammer roars!
"boom--!!!"
The two forces collided, and the Huanglong River water exploded instantly.
The immense impact caused the river water to splash everywhere, creating a thick mist that completely obscured the two figures.
When Li Yu activated his Triple Eyes and looked again...
Only then did I realize that the battle between the two sides had already ended.
The strong Oqiu stood on the riverbank, while the light white jade floated on the water.
They stood facing each other.
