Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 695 Fighting Till No One Can Stand

Despite everything that was going on with Murkel, the other fights were still taking place, and they were too intense for the fighters to pay attention to anything else.

The Crimson Crane members couldnʼt help but worry about Alba, knowing fully well that she was up against one of the most difficult opponents.

In particular, Kizer, Lilly, and Reno were engaged in a fierce battle with Suzan, who was using no weapons. Kizer swung his large sword, and Suzan met it with a strong kick in the air. She continued using more force, and the flowing water Qi pushed the sword down even though she didnʼt continue with her foot. Then, with her leg still in the air, she kicked the spear thrust forward by Lilly. The kick was forceful, and again the visual Qi continued on.

Even though the leg still wasnʼt making contact, the Qi from the kick continued pushing the weapon out of the way.

This was unexpected for Reno, who had dived in with both of his hands glowing green. He went to deliver a blow with the palm of his hand, but Suzan quickly hopped off her leg and jumped, lifting it up in the air and kicking it down.

Renoʼs hands were swung to the floor, and before he knew it, a big kick was delivered into his stomach. Shortly after, she kicked both Kizer on the shoulder and Lilly in the stomach, sending all three of them skidding across the ground.

Although the hits werenʼt completely devastating since they had large amounts of Qi as well, they were still clearly outmatched and outskilled in this situation.

”This is ridiculous!” Kizer shouted. ”There are three of us, and just one of her! We should be the quickest of the group to deal with the situation and then get rid of her!”

As Kizer finished saying his words out of frustration, Lilly charged forward. Her spear was powered with her Qi.

When getting close, she thrust it forward at an incredible speed. Each attack seemed to come off faster than the one before it.

”Lillyʼs really going all out right now; we have to back her up,” Kizer said, holding his sword.

”Wait, we have to come up with a plan. While Lilly has her on the back foot, we need to figure out a way to do this!” Reno said.

Kizer listened and decided to take a step back for a second. He knew everything they were doing so far wasnʼt working, and they couldnʼt just keep doing the same thing.

On top of that, there was the caveat with his weapon. Each time he used a technique, he wouldnʼt be able to use it again. So it felt like as the fight went on, he would be getting weaker and weaker.

In the middle of the flurry produced by Lilly, Suzan was avoiding all of the attacks. When she saw gaps, she would shift her feet and deliver a kick to the face.

Lilly pushed through this, seemingly unfazed, and continued to push forward. However, this was clearly not working. Once in a while, she would get kicked in the face again and again.

Suzan was finding gaps and more openings compared to before. The amount of hits delivered on Lillyʼs face now made it quite swollen. Her lip was busted up, and blood was trickling down, but she still continued.

”Hey, have you used that head of yours to make a plan yet? Because Iʼm starting to get really angry,” Kizer said, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the sword even harder than before.

He continued to watch carefully, observing how Suzan moved, how she thought, but even more so, he was observing the splatter of blood coming from Lillyʼs disfigured face.

The kicks continued, and finally, it was to the point that Lillyʼs hands felt weak. She slightly let go of the grip on her spear, and she wavered for a moment, nearly dipping out of consciousness.

Seeing this, Suzan bent her knee slightly and swung her leg out like a whip. A trail of water followed and crashed right into the side of Lillyʼs head.

Blood splattered out from her mouth, and Lillyʼs body moved in the direction of the kick until her face fell to the floor.

”Iʼll do something,” Lilly said as her consciousness was fading. ”Iʼll help, even without a weapon of my own…” her voice trailed off.

”Thatʼs it, Iʼm going in!” Kizer shouted.

Reno couldnʼt formulate a plan quickly enough. From observing, he thought he could see an opening, but instead, he saw nothing. He did come up with one idea, one that he thought could work.

”Alright, just keep her busy and make sure she canʼt use her hands and legs!” Reno shouted as he came forward.

”Thatʼs your big plan? Thatʼs what you came up with?” Kizer shouted as he geared up a technique. He placed the sword by his side, and then in a flash, he struck his sword through the air.

Visually, it looked as if the sky was actually cut and split, but it hit nothing, as Suzan had avoided it by bending below the slash. She was quite flexible and nimble.

In the first place, Kizerʼs goal was just to get her away from Lilly. Then right after, he continued trying to attack Suzan on the back foot.

”Letʼs do this!” Kizer said as he swung his sword, using technique after technique.

Everything almost looked like a repeat of what had occurred with Lilly and Suzan. She was avoiding all of the attacks, but she was unable to find an opening.

Although Kizer was slow, when he used his techniques, the strikes were powerful and fast. It was taking everything out of her just to follow the attacks.

ʼThis man is using technique after technique, and each of them is powerful. If I get hit by one of these, Iʼll be done for! How is he able to strike from one attack to the other so soon?ʼ

In the middle of these thoughts, she felt something clamp onto her back. Reno had jumped, latched on, and wrapped his arms around her neck, as well as his legs under her waist.

”What is this!” Suzan shouted. ”This isnʼt even a Pagna technique. This is an embarrassment!”

Kizer still didnʼt have a clue what Reno was trying to do or his plan, but he decided that he would continue swinging his sword and stop her from using her arms and legs to fight, or at least to get Reno off.

Even with someone on her back, she was just as nimble as before, avoiding attacks bit by bit. Then that was when she could finally see Kizer slowing down.

Jumping in the air, she then kicked Kizer in the face, making it swollen. Kizer went to move his sword, but it felt extremely heavy.

”Iʼm not good for this stuff. Iʼm much more of a heavy hitter than this!”

Now that Kizer was tired, there were a lot more hits for Suzan to take advantage of. She kicked the back of his leg, lowering him down, and then went to kick Kizerʼs head, but thatʼs when her attack completely missed.

”What the…” Suzanʼs vision was slightly blurry, and she had no idea why. Not just that, but nearly all of her senses were dulling, and the control of her body was starting to fade.

”Itʼs you, isnʼt it? You, whoʼs on my back, the poison Qi user. Youʼre putting it directly into my bloodstream, no wonder!” Suzan shouted.

Kizer, hearing this, was getting a second wind. Now he knew Renoʼs plan. His poison was strong, but against a talented and high-level Qi user, simple attacks werenʼt going to affect her much.

So he directly needed to make contact with her and focus on just pouring his poisonous Qi into her.

When Kizer went to attack, she hit him clearly in the stomach.

”Youʼre a big, slow-moving target. I can get to you even without having to see!” Suzan claimed. ”As for you on my back, itʼs time to suffocate!”

The Qi activated all over her body, and she was burning like a lamp. As the Qi surrounded her, it surrounded a particular area and focused on just Renoʼs head.

Now he felt like he was trapped underwater. His sound was dulled, and even more so, he was unable to breathe.

”Letʼs just see how long you can hold out, you, the big guy, or me!” Suzan claimed.

She continued to hit Kizer, kicking him from side to side, hitting his face. Kizer wasnʼt even picking up his sword anymore and was just being knocked around like a rag doll.

As he was hit, he finally fell down to one knee.

”Reno, I canʼt even force myself to use any more skills. Iʼve used them all up, so beat this woman.”

Suzan now could only see a large blur in front of her. She knew who her targets were, but she was seriously being affected by what was in her bloodstream right now.

ʼThis was a lot more annoying than I thought. I wonder if he went up against these three, if he would have the same amount of trouble.ʼ Suzan thought to herself as she felt a great weight let go from her back. .cσ๓

Finally, Reno couldnʼt take it anymore, and when he fell to the floor, he could finally breathe as the Qi was no longer suffocating him.

”Figures, Iʼm the one standing in the end. Now letʼs get this poison out of my—” Suzan stopped mid-sentence as she saw a pointed spear going right through her chest.

”I bet you didnʼt see that one, b*tch. I told them I would do something even without one of his weapons.” Lilly said, as she let go of the spear and fell to the floor again.
