Chapter 4159: Straightforward Person

The little stoic saw this person, without a word, summon a long saber and slash at her, and immediately her mood brightened.

What a good man! When fighting, it should be like this: straightforward and no nonsense.

Looking at Qiu Ming from Shadow Academy, his face was square, and his moves were swift and precise.

The spiritual weapon he held was a seven-foot-long broadsword. Wielded in his hand, it whistled with the sound of wind, stirring up fierce gale winds that rushed towards her.

Qiao Mu suddenly flickered, instantly appearing close to Qiu Ming. The Startling Rainbow Dagger abruptly leaped out of her consciousness, shooting towards the broadsword with lightning speed.

"Clang, clang, clang!" A broadsword and a short, nimble dagger clashed several times, causing the surrounding air to ripple continuously.

"Whoosh," a beam of fire shot towards her, which Qiao Mu deflected with a handful of snow-colored silver needles made from tree roots.

Those silver needles, each crafted from ice and snow, were naturally a manifestation of the young girl's control over water spirit power.

The Sacred Wood, Sacred Water, and Sacred Earth had long been integrated with her. Now, she could use them effortlessly and as she pleased.

She didn't need to painstakingly think about what form to make them take; she just needed to raise her palm.

Then came several soft "whoosh" sounds. The snow-white silver needles, lightly flicked by Qiao Mu's delicate hand, suddenly darted towards Qiu Ming's face.

Qiu Ming's expression remained unchanged. With a wave of his hand, he conjured a localized defensive fire helmet in front of himself.

It blocked several silver needle attacks.

However, in a flash, hundreds of snow-white silver needles flew out again in unison. This time, they split into three paths—upper, middle, and lower—rushing towards Qiu Ming.

Qiu Ming immediately activated his defensive spiritual artifact, just managing to erect a defensive barrier in front of him.

Then came a series of soft "thudding" sounds.

Countless snow-white silver needles directly penetrated through the defensive barrier, shooting towards his limbs and bones.

Qiu Ming didn't panic. He immediately gathered his energy and leaped, flipping his body back and forth in mid-air, continuously unleashing bursts of flames from his hands.

With a series of clanging and hissing sounds, countless snow-white silver needles were swiftly knocked away by him.

By the end, the shock in his heart, it must be said, spread even further.

Is this little stoic completely expending no divine power, just casually unleashing moves?

Although their exchange hadn't been long, the intensity was immense.

They were basically fighting non-stop, back and forth, constantly competing with their own divine power.

His fire spirit simply couldn't suppress the opponent's water spirit.

Even before this, everyone knew that the little stoic actually possessed two sources of spiritual power.

Both water spirit and wood spirit seemed incredibly powerful, so strong that their exact rank was indistinguishable.

Qiu Ming took a deep breath, thinking to himself that it must be above the eighth layer. Could it be... ninth-layer spiritual water?

"Hiss!" After a soft sound, Qiu Ming suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.

He looked down and saw a snow-white silver needle, made of water spirit, had pierced through his shoulder.

The subtle yet itchy sensation of the needle instantly numbed half of his arm.

"Hiss—" Qiu Ming gasped, thinking to himself: This girl's methods are indeed terrifying. She can actually integrate some inexplicable toxins into her water spirit?

If it were merely hit by water spirit, it would at most be painful. How could it produce such a strange numbing and itching sensation?

Soon, one of Qiu Ming's arms drooped.

But his speed was not diminished in the slightest. With just a few leaps, he soared into the sky and struck down with a powerful punch.

Qiao Mu's expression remained unchanged. With a wave of her hand, a cloud of earthy yellow fine sand billowed up, covering the sky and earth.
