Chapter 1169: Chapter 112: Uesugi Risa Wins MVP!

The fierce winds howled, and the waves surged to the sky.

On the blood-red beach late at night, the Divine Witch and the Cardinal, each representing the iconic figures of the exorcism worlds of the East Ocean and the West, were engaged in a life-and-death battle for the true name of the ever-changing Demon Monarch.

“Isn’t it a bit excessive to describe it as a life-and-death battle?”

Wang Yunxiao, a seasoned garrison warrior, only took a glance and could already predict the final outcome.

This is offense, this is defense, this is like Emma Isshin… Sorry, wrong channel, but in a one-on-one duel, it’s essentially about individual offensive and defensive capabilities.

Don’t talk about magic, sorcery, curses, or anything like that. In a true life-or-death battle, those things only serve to add some flair.

Ultimately, it comes down to knowing when to attack and when to defend, which is the most basic combat knowledge.

No matter how well you play table tennis, it’s a different thing entirely from whether you understand how to play soccer.

It’s hard to say if Uesugi Risa had any combat experience in the past, but after a month of causing trouble all over Tianmen, at least the basic combat knowledge had been drilled into her.

Hmm, it shows the marks of being taught by a famous teacher.

To be able to forcibly instill combat awareness into a brain stuffed with hot pot lamb, this teacher must have made unimaginable sacrifices.

I wonder if their hair has gone bald.

The scythe used by the Fusang Witch wasn’t particularly suited for combat, but in Uesugi Risa’s hands, it was wielded with immense flair, with the stance of a great rolling knife.

What is a great rolling knife?

It has a well-known name, called the “Eight Directions Hidden Blade Technique.”

Simply put, it involves flipping and flying close to one’s body, closing the combat distance, avoiding wide swings.

When using a weapon like a knife, once you swing with all your might, it leaves you open and exposed to vulnerabilities.

However, to be fair, her current opponent wasn’t at the level where they could seize upon such vulnerabilities.

Compared to Uesugi Risa, Elena could be said to have no combat experience at all.

She was relying entirely on the Mirror of Eight Handbreadths fused together to hold her ground.

This Divine Artifact had very powerful abilities, which, when previously divided into three, allowed each mirror to exhibit astonishing effects.

Wang Yunxiao had previously heard about it from Veronica.

The Mount Sumeru Mirror can create a space as small as a mustard seed, concealing the secrets of heaven.

The Shaoguang Mirror can maintain the user’s perfect state at a specific point in time, so even if you’re beaten to low health, don’t worry, one button restores full health and resurrects.

As for the Yin Yang Mirror, Wang Yunxiao wasn’t quite familiar, but Li Mumu knew a lot about it.

This mirror had always been held by Xia Yubing, and its specific function was allowing passage through the Moat Dimension, bypassing dimensional barriers to traverse between the Yin and Yang realms, and even other Outer Dimensions.

It’s extremely convenient for smuggling the Double Lions onto Earth.

As for how this mirror ended up in Elena’s hands… don’t bother asking frivolous questions.

“Demonized” Elena—let’s call her that—held the three-in-one Mirror of Eight Handbreadths and instantly summoned hundreds of identical clones, surrounding Uesugi Risa in an attempt to hold her back while she chanted a spell for a powerful attack.

However, a ghostly light flashed in Uesugi Risa’s eyes, capturing every move of the clones in her gaze and immediately identifying the original’s location, she swung her scythe and carved a bloody path.

Her mind might not be particularly sharp, but she had aid.

Without the aid, she couldn’t have reached this level.

Not only was Yan Yu’an on this side putting in effort, but Tushan, as the woman standing behind her, also contributed all her strength, including but not limited to, x-ray vision, speed boosts, aim-locking, and sometimes even personally stepping in to fight.

The situation set up by the ever-changing Demon Monarch was clearly intended for the long term. If extended to around twenty years, and through various means, these notes were thoroughly settled, erasing traces of origin, reducing the user’s doubts, and then arranging someone else to slowly plot for the nine Divine Artifacts…

In short, it was the classic boil the frog slowly, gentle simmer approach.

But no one wanted to waste that much time with him anymore.

Seeing Elena was about to be chopped into Elena sauce by Uesugi Risa, Yan Yu’an turned to the now-recovered Li Mumu, “Sister-in-law, want to go have a go?”

Li Mumu thought, “Are you crazy? I’m lucid right now.”

But she quickly realized that Yan Yu’an didn’t harbor any ill intentions towards her, it was just that he couldn’t pass along the Yata no Kagami.

To be fair, Yan Yu’an really wasn’t trying hard to grab this thing.

He didn’t even put in the effort, while Little Taro was shot to pieces.

As a result, this thing landed in my hands.

That’s not going to work, the battle over there was about to reach a conclusion, and this side still lacked one thing.

“Give it to me, I will!”

Wang Yunxiao snatched the Hook Jade and was about to go.

Li Mumu immediately protested, what right do you have? Just because you want to join in when two girls are fighting?

Are you hoping to collect some losing battle disrobing CGs?

“I’ll do it instead, you don’t even know what’s going on.”

“I don’t need to know, just finish the fight quickly and go home.”

“You two lovebirds stop showing off your affection!”

Shen Qingxi listened to the argument on the side, wanting to curse.

Why fight over something so trivial?

“It’s none of your business, stay aside.”

Li Mumu grabbed the Hook Jade, her long black hair instantly transformed into snowy white, and with the Octagonal Palace Lamp in hand, she leapt gracefully into the center of the battlefield.
