Chapter 253: Fighting Luciel
MingYue released her grip on the sword, then delivered a kick to the woman\'s head. Her eyes flickered with anger as her other hand put the sword back in the storage.
She could feel the soul of the sword still existed despite it being only in wisps.
BAM!
Her foot hit Luciel\'s neck, but she didn\'t even flinch. Instead, MingYue could feel her bone break.
But she gritted through the pain. Her lifeforce churned, regenerating the wound as it pressed forward, spreading ice qi from her field.
Ice started spreading around the surface of Luciel\'s fair skin, but she didn\'t care. Instead, she turned her gaze to Alex, who now threw a punch at her face.
Luciel turned her hand like a spear, thrusting forward at Alex\'s chest, targeting his heart.
It moved at such speed that Alex could not dodge.
STAB!
Her hand pierced through his bone and heart like tofu. Red blood spurted out, but Alex didn\'t scream.
Instead, he used the opportunity to grasp her with both hands.
His qi and energy churned as he focused it all, making sure Luciel couldn\'t escape.
MingYue didn\'t miss the opportunity; she went full power, using her palm to hit Luciel\'s back.
BAM!
Her ice qi spread quickly, engulfing Luciel\'s whole body. But MingYue didn\'t stop; she infused more life energy in, trying to create spikes that pierced through Luciel\'s skin.
As the ice reached a part of Luciel\'s hand, Alex released his grasp and tried to put a gap between them.
All of this happened in a second.
But before the ice could completely encase Luciel, it started cracking apart.
Alex\'s heart had already started regenerating, but the process was slow as he began infusing his life force into MingYue\'s ice, enhancing it even further.
\'MingYue, I can enhance but not manipulate it. Try to make the needles as small as possible. Like the width of a hair, or even smaller,\' Alex suggested.
MingYue then tried to follow Alex\'s suggestion, making the ice as thin as possible to raise the sharpness.
She also focused the attack on the weak parts of the body like her eyes. She also tried to spread the ice through all the orifice openings on Luciel\'s body.
But even with all this attack infused with both their life forces, it was still not enough.
BANG!
The encased ice shattered into pieces, turning into an area-of-effect attack back at Alex and MingYue.
In response, MingYue made a motion with her hand; despite being broken, the ice was still under MingYue\'s control.
The shards turned into many ice lotuses that started floating back at Luciel.
Swish!
The lotuses accelerated, and all clashed in the middle, creating an explosion of ice, that resulted in a glacial spike
But unfortunately, Luciel was not there.
She appeared behind MingYue and then punched her in the gut, creating a force that launched her into the air.
MingYue could hold her place, but she decided not to. The enemy was clearly out of their league. It would be better if they put some distance between them and regrouped before attacking once more.
Both of them still didn\'t give up. Even though the enemy was strong, with the abundant life force in the atmosphere, they still had a chance.
While MingYue tried to dodge, Alex pushed forward. He threw a kick to her neck, then followed with her back and the back of the knee.
As these were weak parts of the limb, Luciel still felt it. She turned her attention back to Alex.
Alex then took out the emperor skunk incense and pierced it through her nose.
This shameless attack caught Luciel off guard. Even with her abundant fighting experience, she had never faced someone like Alex.
The moment it entered her nose, she froze. As an aspect of gluttony, her senses were many times sharper.
Exploiting the gap, Alex took out Embershift Hammer and hit her while manipulating his qi to create an explosion.
BOOM!
The result was the skunk incense burned at a fast rate, pushing Alex a distance away.
Seeing what Alex did, MingYue had already taken a gas mask to cover her face, but unfortunately, with the distance, Alex was already hit by the intense smell.
His face turned blue as nausea overwhelmed him. But he tried his best to hold it out, even using qi and lifeforce to push it away.
\'MingYue!\'
Understanding his call, MingYue moved the ice that surrounded them to create a gap, allowing both of them to escape.
At this moment, Alex threw away many explosives and red gemstones, including a storage ring filled with oil.
As he came out from the hole, he sent an image to MingYue.
MingYue then transformed the lotuses further. She made them smaller while creating a new hole on top of the lotuses and closed the hole where she had come out from.
Alex pointed his Embershift Hammer. Flames started appearing from the head, then grew intense quickly and turned into a lifelike white fox.
SWOOSH!
The fox shot forward inside the makeshift ice furnace, then exploded with a loud boom!
As there was a hole in the top, all the explosions were sent upward. Alex didn\'t stop.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
He started shooting the lifelike fox again and again, creating more and more explosions.
Meanwhile, MingYue tried her best to contain it all, sending most of the flames upward.
Despite all this, the makeshift furnace started getting cracked.
BAM!
The blaze ape landed beside Alex. It then gathered all its four hands in front of its chest, pointing them toward the same opening.
A sphere of fiery orange flame started gathering, spinning, and turning larger and larger.
The ape\'s muscles then bulked, its veins protruding out as it shot the condensed fireball inside the hole.
