Su Nian felt the sensation of her longsword striking her opponent.
A powerful and swift strike directly hit the horned demon.
She could clearly sense that, after her previous probing attacks, she was not at a disadvantage in terms of strength or speed.
Now, this B- grade martial skill, “Blazing Sword Dance,” had landed a direct hit.
Victory was hers!
However, just as Su Nian felt elated, thinking she was about to complete her mission, obtain an S-grade talent, and return to being a man…
A sudden change occurred.
The lowly horned demon, which should have been defeated by her strike, quickly moved.
How was this possible?
She had clearly seen her sword slash directly at the demon’s arm and shoulder.
Why was this happening?
Could it be that the armor on the horned demon’s arm and shoulder had exceptionally high defense?
Before Su Nian could finish her thoughts, her body’s combat instincts took over, and she launched another attack to block the horned demon charging at her.
Under the effect of her advanced agility, Su Nian didn’t hesitate.
She raised her sword and thrust it toward the horned demon’s heart.
Originally, her plan had been to humiliate the demon first, to avenge the earlier humiliation of being forced to kneel and have her head stepped on.
But the current situation forced her to get serious.
Once again, she used the B-grade martial skill, “Blazing Sword Dance,” and with a fiery strike, she aimed directly at the demon’s heart.
Even if the mutated horned demon had enhanced the defense of its armor and limbs…
How could it possibly withstand a strike aimed at its heart?
But what happened next shocked Su Nian.
The horned demon didn’t dodge or evade until the very last moment, allowing the sword gifted to her by Chu Tian to pierce its heart.
Despite the fatal weakness of its heart, the horned demon stubbornly used its claws to slash a wound on Su Nian’s forearm.
Fortunately, her reaction was quick enough.
The horned demon’s desperate attack, ignoring its own heart damage, only left a minor scratch on her arm.
Hmph!
Lowly horned demon, this is the difference in strength between us.
Just as Su Nian thought she had won, ready to hear the system’s notification and enjoy the rewards of completing her mission…
The horned demon moved again.
The sword that had been thrust into its heart was now firmly grasped by the demon.
Why?
She had clearly pierced its heart.
Could it be that this horned demon was so special that even the location of its heart had changed?
Su Nian quickly enveloped her sword with fiery combat energy.
However…
The demon paid no heed to the sharpness of the blade, gripping it tightly with both hands.
At the same time, the wound on her forearm, inflicted by the horned demon, began to feel numb, and this sensation gradually spread throughout her body.
What is this…?
Su Nian suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Things seemed to be slipping out of her control.
On Chu Tian’s side, upon realizing that the system sword he had gifted her had such a domineering “loyalty” effect-making it completely harmless to him-he knew his opportunity had come.
Originally, in terms of raw strength, he was no match for the girl before him…
Her speed far surpassed his, her strength was no less than his, and she even wielded fire-based martial skills.
Even though his claws were coated with a debilitating poison that could turn the tide, landing a hit on her was still difficult.
Therefore, Chu Tian took advantage of her ignorance about the sword’s ineffectiveness.
He engaged her in combat, using his heart as bait, and successfully landed a small wound on her.
Although the wound was small, it wouldn’t take long for the effects of the fatigue-inducing potion to take hold.
This round, he had won.
“You… you actually coated your claws with anesthetic? How despicable!” Su Nian forcibly reclaimed her sword, using it to support her body as she assessed her current condition.
In reality, Su Nian’s strength had already diminished somewhat.
Chu Tian could have chosen to reclaim the longsword, but he realized that the reason he had gained the upper hand was precisely because his opponent was wielding this bonded sword.
If she were to fight him bare-handed, it would indeed be a tough battle…
Thus, he allowed the young girl before him to reclaim her sword.
“Ding dong, the host’s current status has changed. Please check and respond accordingly.”
Su Nian heard the system’s notification.
She immediately opened her status panel.
[Attributes]:
Name: Su Nian
Gender: Female
Combat Power: B- (approximately equivalent to a lower-tier Silver Swordsman)
Current Status: Fatigued (minor effect), In Combat, Free, Virgin
Damn it!
She had prepared everything, so why had she ended up in such a predicament?
Su Nian’s cute yet radiant face showed a look of frustration.
Wait.
Don’t panic, absolutely don’t panic.
Calm down first.
Think about any details she might have forgotten; perhaps she could still turn the tables.
As Su Nian was pondering this.
Chu Tian approached again.
The fatigue-inducing potion, which cost 200 Qi points, was sprayed in a mist form towards the young girl before him.
“Hiss hiss hiss-“
With only a small wound on her arm, the effects of the potion were limited, but Chu Tian still wasn’t at ease.
As the mist-like fatigue-inducing potion sprayed over her.
Because Su Nian was wearing a dress, the area above her chest and her limbs were exposed, allowing the potion to instantly come into contact with her tender, fair skin.
In an instant.
She was exposed to a significant amount of the sprayed potion.
Although the effect of the potion through skin contact was much less efficient than through the bloodstream, the sheer quantity made up for it.
In that moment.
Su Nian heard the system notification again.
However.
The usual “ding dong” sound that accompanied gaining humiliation points or completing tasks now felt particularly distressing.
“Ding dong, the host’s current status has changed again. Please check and respond accordingly.”
[Attributes]:
Name: Su Nian
Current Status: Fatigued (major effect), In Combat, Free, Virgin
Just as Su Nian felt her body growing increasingly weak, she suddenly remembered something…
Yes!
Before coming here, she had prepared 3 recovery potions; perhaps they could dispel this condition.
Thinking of this, Su Nian quickly retrieved the “Recovery Potion” from the small pouch hanging at her waist.
The pale green liquid looked reassuring.
She opened the bottle.
Without hesitation, Su Nian prepared to drink the potion that might save her.
However…
Just as the glass bottle was about to touch her moist, crimson lips, a large hand swatted away the “Recovery Potion,” which was like a lifeline to her.
But that wasn’t all.
The demon before her seemed to have thought of something.
Chu Tian stepped forward, one hand grabbing the young girl’s wrists while the other pinched Su Nian’s chin, forcibly pouring the remaining fatigue-inducing potion down her throat.
The broad, thick palm contrasted sharply with her small, delicate chin.
At this moment, Su Nian, affected by the strength-draining potion, was no match for the opponent in terms of strength and could not resist the actions of the horned demon at all.
“Cough, cough—”
Having consumed the strength-draining potion, the sensation of suffocation and choking on water made her extremely uncomfortable, causing her to cough instinctively.
At the same time.
The intense feeling of weakness in her body also dashed any hope she had of continuing the fight…
However, what truly plunged her into despair was the voice of the system.
“Ding dong, the host’s current state has changed once again.”
“Ding dong, the host’s current state is complete exhaustion, with no possibility of victory. Judgment: defeated.”
