"Bang!"

Qin Xiaochuan crashed into a protruding rock like a cannonball. The rock instantly turned into dust, which mixed with snowflakes and fell from the sky.

"Pfft!" Qin Xiaochuan spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground, panting heavily, and looked up at Kaiming, who was hovering in the air.

"Was that an illusion?" Qin Xiaochuan analyzed in his mind, but it shouldn't be possible. If it were an illusion, he should be able to distinguish it in his mental space.

Kaiming didn't give him much time to think before another massive pillar of lightning fell from the sky.

Qin Xiaochuan sprang to his feet and charged toward Kaiming again. He needed to figure out what had just happened, and the fastest way to do so was to make the other party do it again.

The Blazing Fist struck Kaiming again. When Kaiming transformed into an unfamiliar face once more, Qin Xiaochuan instantly raised his perception to its maximum and released a powerful burst of spiritual energy into the surrounding space.

Kaiming appeared above him this time, and as soon as he appeared, a ball of lightning streaked across the space and blasted towards his head.

"Holy Flame Baptism!" Qin Xiaochuan quickly formed several hand seals, and a pillar of fire shot into the sky, meeting the ball lightning head-on.

"boom!"

Flames flew everywhere as Qin Xiaochuan flapped his wings and glided rapidly through the air, dodging Kaiming's follow-up Soul-Suppressing Roar.

"I still don't understand." Qin Xiaochuan thought to himself. Although he had just dodged Kaiming's attack, he still couldn't figure out its skill mechanism. If he couldn't understand the opponent's skills, all his attacks would be in vain.

"Again!" With a flap of its wings, it charged toward Kaiming once more.

In the past two days, he has failed countless times in his challenge against Han Kexin, but after each failure, he quickly summarizes his experience and launches the challenge again. It is precisely because of this that his combat skills have improved rapidly in the past few days.

At this point, he was still stuck in that mindset. No matter how many times he failed, he was not discouraged. He launched another attack and broke through his own limits time and time again.

This time, he was not only pushing his limits, but also shouldering a great responsibility. When he recalled Guo Shiyi's expectant eyes, a flame ignited in his chest, driving him to rush forward without hesitation.

Qin Xiaochuan made seven more charges, and each time he transformed into a different person, which gradually helped him grasp the essence of the skill.

It is certain that what Kaiming used was neither illusion nor teleportation, but rather a principle similar to afterimages that created an illusion for his opponent, allowing him to sneak to the side and launch a sudden attack from behind.

As for the specific skill mechanics, considering that Kaiming has the ability to steal other people's memories, Qin Xiaochuan guessed that it might be related to this.

Qin Xiaochuan's guess was correct. Kaiming was indeed very good at controlling memories, and the skill it used was called "Memory Shock," which caused an instant memory shock to the opponent, thus making them ignore its ongoing actions.

After gaining a general understanding of his opponent's skill mechanics, Qin Xiaochuan quickly formulated a battle plan in his mind.

With his wings spread and Swiftness activated, Qin Xiaochuan charged towards Kaiming once again, pushing his perception to its limit as he rapidly approached his opponent.

Just as he expected, when Kaiming was only two meters away from him, he sensed a faint energy fluctuation and released a large amount of mental energy forward without hesitation.

With just one meter remaining, dozens of fireballs were launched simultaneously. These cone-shaped fireballs, driven by level 8 spiritual power, were powerful enough to reach the level of an A-grade skill.

Qin Xiaochuan didn't expect to cause much damage to Kaiming by releasing these skills; they were just to block Kaiming's escape routes. His real killing move was his Flaming Fist, which had S-level power. Even Kaiming wouldn't dare to easily withstand it. As a result, it had to use that strange skill again.

With only half a meter left, Kaiming was already within his attack range. Sure enough, Kaiming, who had been floating in the air, turned into an unfamiliar face again. At that moment, Qin Xiaochuan spread his wings and suddenly flipped backward. Then, the blazing fist containing surging spiritual power suddenly blasted into the void behind him, and the bluish-white flames instantly illuminated the entire world.

"Bang!"

With a deafening roar, Kaiming's figure appeared amidst the flames, his agonizing screams instantly filling the entire world and sending chills down Qin Xiaochuan's spine.

Kaiming flew backward quickly, escaping the erosion of the remaining flames. Just as Qin Xiaochuan was about to give chase, a bolt of lightning exploded in front of him, then transformed into a thousand interwoven lightning nets that instantly enveloped him. At the same time, dark clouds gathered in the sky again, and the familiar nine lightning pillars reappeared.

Lightning flashed in his pupils. It had been a long time since Kaiming last used this skill. Qin Xiaochuan knew that this meant that the skill required a lot of spiritual power. Kaiming would not use it easily unless he was under strong stimulation.

Since it was a contest of spiritual energy consumption, he was happy to oblige. The Qilin Armor reappeared completely on his body, and with unwavering determination, he charged into the dark clouds once more, heading towards the nine descending bolts of lightning.

"boom!"

The sky exploded again that day, and Kaiming spat out six ball lightning bolts toward the center of the explosion. As Qin Xiaochuan rushed out of the flames, a huge pillar of lightning also cascaded down from the sky at the same time.

Despite being charred black all over, Qin Xiaochuan did not back down at all. The Qilin Armor reappeared on his body, and a red spiritual power cleaved the incoming ball lightning like an axe blade, changing its flight trajectory. He activated the Swiftness Technique at full power and finally managed to dodge the lightning pillar in the sky.

Ball lightning exploded around him, and streaks of electricity surged toward his body. Although the Qilin Armor was a top-tier defensive skill, it was, after all, a metal-type skill, and its resistance to electric lightning was much lower.

Fortunately, he had always insisted on physical training, which made his physique far superior to that of ordinary spirit masters, and even comparable to level five or six physical masters. Otherwise, even with the Qilin Armor and the defense of fire-type spiritual power, he would still not be confident in withstanding Kaiming's earth-shattering move just now.

Despite this, he still felt that half of his body was paralyzed, but Qin Xiaochuan didn't care at all. He only had one thought in his mind: to defeat the Enlightened Beast on the other side no matter what.

Because Guo Shiyi was still waiting for him, and because Xiaoying and the others were clearly in an abnormal state, not knowing whether it was a good or bad omen.

He had to protect these people, no matter the cost.

So he can't lose!

Just as he swooped down, he noticed that the Enlightened Beast seemed to be acting strangely.
