Chapter 126: A Duel, or All Together?

Upon hearing these two notification tones, Qin Chuan was deeply shocked: "Damn, so this is the ultimate boss? And there are actually two of them, both with unique quality."

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Qin Chuan said calmly, "Stay back, it's extremely dangerous."

This remark left Zizi and Sleepybug stunned. For Qin Chuan to use the words "extremely dangerous" meant the spiritual entities ahead must be truly terrifying.

Seeing Qin Chuan leap forward, Zizi hurriedly said, "Chuan, please don't push yourself too hard."

At this point, even Sleepybug lost his nerve and urged anxiously, "Big Brother, maybe we should just leave."

"It's fine, trust me."

Qin Chuan's tone remained calm and composed; even when faced with two formidable enemies, he had no intention of retreating. This battle would be even tougher than the last.

Qin Chuan’s confidence and poise greatly surprised the Five-Colored Spirit.

"Dragon-Patterned Cold Jade Sword, unique quality, Level 28."

"You have truly surprised me. It is rare for the Spirit Realm to give birth to such a masterpiece as you."

"However, by闯入 (intruding) all the way here, you have disrupted a layout that has been brewing for countless ages."

"If I kill you, it is a loss to the Spirit Realm; yet if I do not, I fail my fallen brothers."

"Therefore, let us decide your fate through battle."

There was a hint of helplessness in the Five-Colored Spirit's tone. He felt a measure of respect for Qin Chuan's talent, yet he could not let him go. This contradictory sentiment was likely something only he could understand.

Hearing this, Qin Chuan was curious; it seemed he had inadvertently poked a giant hole in something, but he had no desire to delve into the reasons.

"Are you going to duel me one-on-one, or are you coming at me together?"

This question terrified Zizi and Sleepybug—was he looking for trouble?

The Five-Colored Spirit laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Longya and I have always lived and died together. When fighting me, there is no such thing as a one-on-one."

In truth, this statement from the Five-Colored Spirit also revealed his determination to execute Qin Chuan. Given his own immense strength combined with Longya, he believed Qin Chuan had no chance of winning at all.

"Good, I just happen to want to experience what it's like for a Spirit Being to wield a Spirit Weapon."

Not only was Qin Chuan not afraid, he actually seemed excited. Indeed, he found this type of battle very novel.

"A combination of a Spirit Being and a Spirit Weapon—just how powerful can it be?"

With this question in mind, Qin Chuan began to consider the upcoming fight.

"Based on the current situation, I have no information."

"Although I want to test them, I fear I won't even get the chance."

"With the opponent being so formidable, I expect a wave of frantic attacks right from the start."

"Furthermore, the coordination of their six skills will surely create many variables."

"With the enemy strong and me weak, how can I achieve final victory?"

As Qin Chuan pondered, the Five-Colored Spirit prepared to launch his attack. He saw no need for further consideration; he would simply defeat Qin Chuan with overwhelming force. Confidence always stems from strength, and as a super-VIP, the Five-Colored Spirit's power was naturally terrifying.

Phantom Whirlwind (Active): Stage 1 Level 3 Phantom, locks onto a target within ten meters to unleash two phantoms, each level adds 10% sharpness. Stage 2 Level 4 Whirlwind, unleashes two rotating blades, pursuing the target within a twenty-meter range, each level adds 5% sharpness.

Indestructible Body (Exclusive Passive): Gains immunity every 2 seconds for 0.5 seconds and increases all attributes by 150%, no level.

Spirit of the Five Colors (Passive): Attacks ignore 2% of the opponent's toughness, currently Level 9.

Phantom Frenzy (Active): Stuns targets within ten meters for 1 second while unleashing eight phantoms to attack. 10-second cooldown, reduces cooldown by 0.5 seconds per level, currently Level 9.

Five-Colored Poisonous Miasma (Active): Releases a ten-meter radius of toxic miasma, causing 3 seconds of continuous damage proportional to the target's toughness. Each level adds 0.5 seconds, currently Level 6.

Looking at these skills alone would chill the hearts of any spiritual creature in the Mystic Jungle.

The Five-Colored Spirit's stats were: Sharpness 1900+, Toughness 1800+, Speed 1700+.

These stats were truly insane, completely crushing Qin Chuan; the Five-Colored Spirit's confidence was certainly justified.

This was just the situation for the Five-Colored Spirit, and the Dragon-Tooth Blade was no slouch either.

Deadly Flying Blade (Active): Stage 1 Level 3 Flying Blade, locks onto a target within 30 meters, each level adds 10% sharpness. Stage 2 Level 4 Infinite Swirling Slash, triggers upon a hit from Stage 1. If the swirl hits, it continues the attack, capable of infinite loops, each level adds 5% sharpness.

Sacrifice (Passive): Forced effect, deals 1% flame damage per second, each level adds 1 meter of range, currently Level 9.

Dragon-Tooth Protection (Active): Increases toughness by 5% per level, lasting three seconds, currently Level 9.

Dragon Blade Sigh (Active): Ejects a fire dragon, dealing flame damage equivalent to 100% of sharpness, attack range ten meters, currently Level 5. Each level adds one meter of range and reduces cooldown by 1 second.

The Dragon-Tooth Blade is a long-range weapon, with stats: Sharpness 1800+, Toughness 1200+, Speed 1200+.

The Five-Colored Spirit and the Dragon-Tooth Blade have a linked passive skill: Toughness Sharing.

When the Five-Colored Spirit wields the Dragon-Tooth Blade, he coats it in a five-colored protective film, raising its toughness to 1800+.

At this moment, the Five-Colored Spirit held the now-reddening Dragon-Tooth Blade, his eyes widened suddenly, and a fierce aura exploded instantly.

"Taste my blade!"

The Five-Colored Spirit's figure was like light smoke, rushing forward in a flash.

"Ding! Received flame damage, blade body damaged by 1%."

From the moment the Five-Colored Spirit moved, Qin Chuan had estimated his speed.

"Faster than the Five-Colored Red Spirit Beast, but my speed has also increased quite a bit."

"Damn, the Dragon-Tooth Blade's passive is pretty impressive!"

Qin Chuan couldn't help but be secretly shocked; he had suffered damage before the fight even began.

"Hmph, impressive my foot!"

At this moment, the dragon pattern on the sword flashed and emitted a soft huff.

"Ding! Sword body repaired."

"Damn, Brother Dragon-Pattern, you really are amazing!"

Qin Chuan praised him inwardly, but unfortunately, Brother Dragon-Pattern didn't even acknowledge him; he certainly had an arrogant attitude.

Whoosh!

Nine meters of distance were covered in the blink of an eye, and the Dragon-Tooth Blade slashed down directly at his head.

Qin Chuan had long predicted the angle of attack and dodged it with a shift in his stance.

"Ding! Sword body damaged by 0.5%."

Because Qin Chuan's speed had increased significantly, he had opened up some distance, suffering only 0.5% damage.

Whoosh!

The Five-Colored Spirit followed up with another slash, and Qin Chuan dodged again.

After dodging the attacks twice in a row, the Five-Colored Spirit couldn't help but be surprised. After a few more slashes, surprise turned into shock.

"Longya, this guy is very strange; your flames don't seem to work on him. His predictions are very sharp; I can't seem to land a hit."

"Five-Colored, I've noticed it too. This is a forced effect, and I don't understand what's going on either."

The Five-Colored Spirit had intended to use his speed advantage and the Dragon-Tooth Blade's passive to execute Qin Chuan, but this wishful thinking had failed.

"Retreat ten meters, prepare for a combined strike."

"Understood."

At this moment, Zizi and Sleepybug were left staring in bewilderment. They saw the Five-Colored Spirit rush in full of confidence, swing a few times, and then retreat ten meters. This maneuver seemed truly incomprehensible to them.

"Little Bug, what's going on? The Five-Colored Spirit actually gave up on close-quarters combat."

"I don't know, maybe he couldn't hit Big Brother and decided it wasn't working, so he backed off."

Zizi and Sleepybug, of course, didn't know the Five-Colored Spirit's plans, but Qin Chuan felt a breath of danger.

"Damn, I reckon they're about to use their skills."
