Chapter 801: Don’t Waste It

Chapter 801: Don’t Waste It

Don’t underestimate me!

To Six Rime’s surprise, a fierce current of warmth rose from her chest and shot into her head. It didn’t even register in her brain that she was furious.

“Agh!”

At the price of damaging the energy route in her body, Six Rime pushed herself to triple her power. An overwhelming chill surged from her, able to instantly freeze any lifeforms.

Even Six Rime got frostbite from the freezing wind. Her skin was pale almost to the point of being translucent, and the light blue veins visible on the sky looked like cracks on a frozen lake.

Caught in the freezing wind, Qing Ling was hit by an unbearable coldness that cut her skin. Although she immediately tapped into all her energy to defend against the cold, her hair, eyelashes, and the hair on her skin still froze over, and the blood in her body was quickly curdling, too.

From a distance came Ke Yo’s whistle.

Everyone on the battlefield, including Gao Yang and Azure Dragon, got distracted for two seconds and stopped their intense fight.

The same thing happened to Six Rime, who had unleashed absolute coldness at the price of shortening her lifespan.

Elder Azure Dragon will defeat Gao Yang for sure.

But it seems that I can’t defeat Qing Ling. If I become a deadweight, Elder Azure Dragon will be disappointed.

No! This isn’t the time to think like this!!

Two seconds later, the whistle ended.

“Ah!!”

Six Rime screamed again, intending to spread her chill further to freeze everything around her. Then suddenly, she caught Qing Ling rushing toward her from the corner of her eye.

Why is she able to keep moving?!

The next second, Six Rime realized that the freezing wind blowing Qing Ling’s way was split. Invisible wind elements were shielding Qing Ling and redirecting most of the chill to the surroundings, creating precious space for Qing Ling to move in.

Qing Ling’s hair and eyelashes were frozen, and a thin layer of frost encased her entire body. Yet she moved. Like a pale angel, she raised her blade as she charged at Six Rime.

I haven’t lost!

Six Rime immediately stopped unleashing the freezing wind and quickly spun in place.

Ice Blooms!

In a white shirt and red dress, Six Rime danced on the snowy land like the yuki-onna[1] from folklore. Following her dance, flower-like ice cones bloomed quickly around her in dense clusters, spreading in cascading waves in an instant.

However, Qing Ling had only swung her blade as a feint. Having been prepared for an attack, she quickly jumped away and rode her Butterfly Twin Blades into the sky.

It would be Six Rime’s defeat.

She had lost her proper mental faculties after damaging the energy route in her body. While her attack seemed dramatic and fierce, it was a waste of energy against the agile Qing Ling, and it left her exposed.

From midair, Qing Ling curled her fingers.

Two seconds later, Gao Yang landed with Can in his arms, face ashen.

Ke Yo died!

We still lose someone...

“Captain!” Can jumped out of Gao Yang’s arms. “Save Ke Yo!”

Gao Yang started and looked at Can in disbelief.

Can gave Gao Yang a small smile, face pale and fringe drenched by sweat. She turned to run to Qing Ling, shouting, “We’ll keep him busy!”

Gao Yang came to a realization. Can had sneakily put the Black Gold hairpin on Ke Yo when Can decided to fight Six Rime with Qing Ling.

Gao Yang activated the replicated Gamer while rushing toward where Ke Yo had vanished from.

Indeed, he sensed the lingering energy of Ke Yo. She was now in range to be brought back.

“Time Reset!” Gao Yang shouted. Countless white tentacles immediately came out of the fingers of his two hands. Two seconds later, a hairpin flickering a white light rushed out of the charred wasteland. The tentacles warped around the hairpin. Like a 3D printer, it quickly drew the shape of a cocoon of light, which morphed and transformed slowly into the shape of a girl.

Hurry!

Faster!

Gao Yang exhausted half of what little energy he had. But what he was running out of more was time!

Thirty seconds was too long.

Could Qing Ling and Can really keep Azure Dragon busy for thirty seconds?

Gao Yang even coldbloodedly wondered if it was a mistake to save Ke Yo now. Perhaps it would lead to all their death.

Fortunately, Gao Yang’s concern was unwarranted.

Azure Dragon had stopped fighting, too. Fone one, he couldn’t just leave Six Rime to die. And for another, he had forcefully damaged the energy route in his body. If he kept fighting without stopping, the energy route would get further damaged, which would put him at a disadvantage.

Azure Dragon rushed to Six Rime and broke the ice cones around her. Picking her up, he jumped three times to keep a safe distance from the enemies.

Qing Ling and Can exchanged a glance. They stopped at the same time and didn’t give chase.

This was ideal for them, too. Given their conditions, they wouldn’t even survive ten seconds facing Azure Dragon.

“Get up!”

Azure Dragon took out the Medicine C he had with him and roughly jabbed it in Six Rime’s chest. Six Rime threw up a mouthful of blood. She slowly reached out to stop Azure Dragon.

Her eyes were dim, and blood was leaking out of her nostrils and the corners of her mouth.

“Don’t...it’s a waste. Doesn’t work...”
