Su Yan was now determined to finish this fight, no matter the cost. She raised her hands after pushing away the opponent with her attacks.
Just as the opponent was preparing another attack move, one she thought would badly injure Su Yan.
Su Yan's snow white petite hands landed on the floor. Her face was determined and ice cold. She shouted before releasing her spirit qi in torrents, which resulted in a massive circle of ice spreading from where she was.
At a fast speed too, the ice domain interrupted the opponent's attack, as she lost her footing, which was crucial for the technique.
Su Yan, seizing this opportunity, madly burned her spirit qi reserves before releasing a puff of snow petals.
Huh! The female saw the beautiful snow petals.
Just as she caught one of the beautiful petals on her hand, her battle instincts kicked in, and she hurriedly tried to toss it away, but not before it and the other petals that covered the space exploded in a blinding and dangerous radiance.
Su Yan executed the final part of her plan, with her opponent in disarray and her armor torn.
She controlled the ice in her surrounding, formed by her spirit qi, to form a giant splinter which impaled the opponent.
The opponent's body was impaled in the middle, her face facing the frost floor, her mind slowly falling into darkness.
She tried to muster the last bit of power she could to send Su Yan to oblivion. But she couldn't, as she only muttered in pain. She gritted her teeth, before throwing her daggers with the greatest strength she could. But they only clanged as they landed just before Su Yan's feet.
She consoled herself thinking, at least I died in a battle and not in a sick bed.
Slash! Another mark appeared on Nelly's arm, but she refused to let her resolve drop because of the injuries her opponent gave her. Instead, she attacked more brazenly with her energy attacks.
Although they did carry a load of power, it was all for naught, as her opponent weaved through them.
Because of this, she poured more of her spirit qi into her attacks, making them extremely dangerous, but with it, her attack pattern and fighting spirit had disappeared.
The opponent, cunning and agile, made use of her speed amplified by her transformed state, slightly inflicting injuries on Nelly to get her to rage more and lose herself, just before she would launch the final blow to kill her.
With another slash, Nelly let go in rage, as she wildly released her spirit qi in a circle around her, successfully throwing her opponent away.
Unfortunately, the opponent was not to be trifled with. With a tap of her foot on the ship, she dispelled all the force.
She paused briefly, and while Nelly was out of breath, she lunged at her to deliver a decisive strike.
Nelly, seeing the opponent's figure closing in at an inhuman speed, her claws outstretched, tried to conjure an energy attack. But it was too late, the enemy was going to kill her.
She mentally prepared herself, as she thought, "I will self-destruct, taking my opponent down with me."
Just then, she only felt a cool breeze against her skin, and a crashing sound, along with the sound of someone wheezing.
Confused, Nelly opened her eyes, and the sight she saw stunned her.
Icaros had the tough opponent lodged into a wall of the ship, with his hand holding what seemed to be a beating heart.
"You, you saved me", managed to escape Nelly's lips as she struggled to suppress the tears welling in her eyes.
Icaros smiled, his tattered appearance and bloodied hands not hiding his radiance, before saying, "It's not good to abandon a companion, let alone one of the same sect."
Icaros noticed how bad he looked; both hands looked like they had been dipped in blood. He also didn't fancy holding a beating heart. It was just one of the efficient ways to get rid of an opponent, using his strong points unapologetically.
Thinking of this, Icaros tore off his already tattered upper wear. He threw away the heart, which he had unknowingly crushed, and wiped his hands with the cloth before discarding it. Now his upper body was bare, revealing his chiseled physique, almost no fat detectable, as his not-too-bulky muscles showed clearly. His abs were all clearly shown. He wasn't fat or slim, nor too muscular to be all muscle.
Just a perfect sculpture and enough to look masculine.
While this was going on, Nelly was still thinking, "I despised him earlier, but he sees me as a companion. Am I really that horrible?"
Realizing this, Nelly softly muttered to Icaros, who was walking over to her.
Her lips beautiful and seductive, "Thank you."
Icaros revealed a rare carefree smile, before replying, "Eh it's nothing, I was just..." When Nelly interrupted him by hugging him, her hands on his broad and masculine back.
Just then, Li Han coughed aloud, interrupting the beautiful moment. It turned out Li Han and Su Yan had dealt with their respective opponents and found their way to the others.
Li Han revealed a grin that said something else, before saying, "Sorry to interrupt the beautiful moment, but it's time to go, the ship is about to crash."
"About to crash?" Icaros and Nelly, who hadn't fully separated, said, only to be met by Li Han who said, "You better go find something to cover up, you're not the only one with a shredded physique, I used to look much better in my youth."
With this, the girls took note of Icaros's physique. While Su Yan appeared calm, Nelly blushed as she realized how intimate she looked with Icaros.
She hurriedly scurried to Su Yan's side, something that resembled guilt deep in her eyes, while Su Yan's eyes remained ice cold, not faltered in the least by Icaros's almost superhuman physique.
"With our clash, some of the opponent's ship core components were destroyed, and crashing is inevitable," Li Han explained, while he ran to the edge of the ship, theirs just opposite away, while the others followed.
