Chapter 2063: Chapter 2064: Unstoppable! (Third Night)

A long spear moved like a dragon or snake; a woman wielding it with such prowess was indeed remarkable.

Rarely do female Martial Artists achieve this level of skill with a spear, handling it as if it were an extension of her own body.

Sparks flew from the spearhead as it clashed repeatedly with the shield. The shield, though visibly indented, could not be penetrated due to its unique material.

Hong Luan’s series of attacks yielded little success; the three opponents still blocked her path, preventing her from advancing.

Her chest rose and fell slightly, accentuating her inviting curves.

The three before her posed a significant challenge. Though her spear skills were formidable, their defensive power was immensely strong. The shields impeded her, making it difficult to eliminate the trio.

Moreover, Hong Luan noticed the core figure of the enemy troop standing not far from the fortress, watching her intently.

Her father was absent from the fortress, causing Hong Luan concern. With his power, he would have confronted the enemy if he were well, but the fortress gates remained shut, with no sign of him, leaving Hong Luan to suspect he was injured and recovering.

If that were true, then among those ahead, there must be a terrifyingly powerful figure, capable of injuring her father.

Should she retreat?

The situation was grim. As the General, stagnation was momentary; prolonged delays would sap the morale of her troop, leaving them stranded here.

Retreat was impossible. If she fled, what would happen to her father?

Hong Luan would not stand by as her father defended the fortress while she fled for her life.

Fight!

Hong Luan resolved to fight desperately—she had no retreat, so she would go for broke.

Swish, swish, swish...

The spearhead vibrated with the shaft, producing a sound akin to falling leaves.

At this moment, her weapon resonated with Hong Luan. Though the spear lacked an Artifact Spirit, it had a trace of sentience from countless battles, aligning itself with Hong Luan’s mindset.

It was Hong Luan’s resolve to fight to the death that stirred the spear to life.

"Harmonizing with the weapon, seize the chance to defeat her quickly." The three shield-bearing men exchanged glances before closing in, preventing Hong Luan’s strength from growing.

Hong Luan was experiencing a fusion with her weapon when she suddenly snapped back to reality. It was unfortunate that the battlefield afforded no such opportunities, hobbling her potential for deeper connection and increased attack strength.

But the opponents didn’t give her the chance—advancing to interrupt, intending to capture her alive.

Clang!

Hong Luan struck forcefully, causing the air to tremble with the sound from the spearhead.

The next second, her spear darted forward with an incredibly sharp speed, striking three times quickly.

The trio immediately raised their shields to block the spear.

Soon, their eyes widened in disbelief. The spear pierced through the shields, penetrating even their foreheads.

Ping, ping, ping...

No great noise—just a gentle buzzing—and the three stopped all movement before falling in succession.

The three perished in an instant.

Hong Luan achieved a critical strike!

This scene left the young man in the distance momentarily stunned. Evidently, he hadn’t anticipated this. Despite knowing her abilities and dispatching three Martial Artists of equivalent strength with shields, Hong Luan managed to kill them.

"Sir, let me go."

Now unimpeded by the three strong foes, Hong Luan advanced swiftly again, dispatching many soldiers.

Being the core figure of the attack on the fortress, the young man had gathered adept warriors, so naturally, there were more than just a few willing to step forward.

The young man nodded in approval, "Don’t let me down."

The short youth clasped his fist, chuckling, "I won’t disappoint you, sir. She’s just a little woman, easily captured."

He said this as he steadily walked toward Hong Luan. At this moment, Hong Luan halted her assault, and the soldiers automatically formed a path for the short youth.

"Though you reached this level of harmonization with your weapon, in the face of absolute strength, victory is still beyond your reach," the short youth remarked calmly, simultaneously beginning to unleash his formidable aura—ascending from the God Realm to the Divinity Transformation Realm, mid-stage, later stage, peak.

Suddenly, the short youth smirked, and Hong Luan’s heart skipped—his aura surged beyond the Divinity Transformation Realm, entering the Void Return Realm.

Immediately, the hope within Hong Luan was extinguished.

Though her battle strength had soared by connecting with her weapon, she remained in the Divinity Transformation stage. Yet now, this opponent was in the Void Return Realm, and even with her enhanced capabilities, she couldn’t match him.

"If I were you, I’d obediently put down the weapon, wouldn’t you agree?" the short youth said with a faint smile.

Hong Luan didn’t release her hold; instead, she tightened her grip. Suddenly, the short youth flickered forward, appearing before her, with his hand already on the spear.

Hong Luan felt a mighty force tugging at her weapon, seeking to snatch it away.

Hong Luan exerted more force, yet the spear was steadily pulled from her grasp.

Finally, her hand lightened, and the spear fell into the short youth’s possession. He admired it, clicking his tongue, "This spear is impressive; you’ve likely trained with it for years."

Hong Luan stared at him; the spear had long been a companion, far more than just a weapon.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so attuned to it.

The short youth caressed the spear lightly, commenting, "What do you think would happen if I broke this spear?"

Swish.

Hong Luan moved, intending to retrieve it, but the short youth evaded deftly.

Hong Luan repeatedly reached out to reclaim it; she couldn’t allow her weapon to be destroyed. However, with the short youth’s superior power, she couldn’t succeed.

He completely toyed with her.

"Sizzle... You really care about this, huh? That makes me want to destroy it even more. I enjoy watching others devastated. You, such a beauty, must look even more beautiful when heartbroken." The short youth had a distorted mindset and extended another hand to break the spear.

Hong Luan’s eyes reddened with fury.

The short youth showed a smile, relishing Hong Luan’s expression.

Just as he prepared to snap the spear, his gaze froze, suddenly noticing a mysterious male figure walking behind Hong Luan, dispatching the Dynasty soldiers around him with a single motion—they flew back, unable to hinder him.

As he approached, it seemed as if he walked through an uninhabited realm.

Hong Luan noticed the short youth’s expression and couldn’t help but turn, shocked.

It was him!
