"Chirp!!" At the same time, Crimson Eye no longer wanted to fight alone either. It gradually descended from the sky; the opponents were two people, and it was at too great a disadvantage on its own.

Soon, Crimson Eye landed on Shi Ying's hand and, under everyone's gaze, transformed once more into the Flame Sword Spirit. At the same time, a surge of red aura flowed from the sword spirit across Shi Jin's entire body. Suddenly, an astonishing momentum swept out from Shi Yan's Crimson Eye.

Beneath the blazing aura, Shi Ying's eyes and hair were both dyed red. Her slender figure and deep gaze made her look as though she had stepped into the realm of the gods.

Boom!

The powerful aura spread outward, causing Xiao Qin's expression to change and the other two majors to look shocked. They felt that the enhancement Crimson Eye had received was even greater than the one the Demon Starfish had gotten!

"Ah-da."

Almost instantly, an aura radiated from Shi Jin that made even the Demon Starfish, a ferocious beast, sense danger. Its gaze sharpened, and with a flash it appeared before Shi Jin, its hand wrapped in a rippling fist, and smashed down violently!!!

Boom!!

A violent white mist burst forth.

Immediately after, astonishing shockwaves spread out from around them, shattering a layer of the ice surface and sending ripples rolling across the waves a thousand meters away.

As the smoke dispersed, the Demon Starfish's punch had failed to land. Shi Jin held the sword one-handed, planting the blade upright before her, and easily blocked that rippling fist.

Shi Jin's red pupils looked at the Demon Starfish, which was even taller than herself, and said, "You're a bit too impatient."

As she spoke, enormous, illusionary red wings unfurled behind Shi Jin. Every feather of these magnificent phoenix wings seemed to be formed of sword spirits, radiating an intense phoenix majesty. Seeing this, the Demon Starfish suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Get away from him!"

Xiao Qin shouted.

The Demon Starfish channeled power into its legs and, indeed, after its pupils contracted, quickly retreated.

At the same time, Shi Zhuo raised the sword spirit slightly, and behind her countless streaks of sword light seemed to burst forth, sweeping up a blast of hot wind that instantly engulfed the rapidly retreating Demon Starfish. The countless sword lights began slicing its body as if by a thousand blades, making it let out a shrill scream in the hot wind!!!

"Aaah!!!"

In the hot wind, the Demon Starfish's figure gradually blurred, wounds appearing one after another across its body. Xiao Qin drew a deep breath, her expression instantly turning extremely grave as she stared fixedly at the red-haired youth opposite her.

Impossible.

She had seen undead that could possess, and beast tamers that could merge.

But it was only a possession, after all—there was no reason for it to boost one's strength to such absurd heights!

Of course, what Xiao Qin did not know was that with Shi Ying's physical constitution combined with a max-level possession skill, this could no longer be called a simple fusion.

This was cheating!

At that moment, seeing Shi Jin assume this form—a nearly invincible shape—Huang Qi and the others were dumbstruck, for it was their first time witnessing such a thing, not even in Mirage Abyss City had they ever seen it!

This state of Shi Jin's—they actually felt it was even more terrifying than the hundred-meter Iron-Eating Beast of back then!!

"Ahhh!!"

Soon, the hot wind dissipated, half the ice surface vanished, and the Demonic Starfish, its body now standing on the water's surface in tatters, regarded its opponent in silence.

For a normal living being, reaching this state would already be a life-threatening grave injury, but the Demonic Starfish possessed the super-tier skill Cellular Rapid Growth, whose self-healing effect ranked among the very best of super-tier skills.

It could be called immortal—even after taking a combined strike from Shi Yan and Crimson Pupil just now, it was utterly unharmed, and after a roar, it instantly recovered to its original state.

"Agh!!"

After recovering, the Demonic Starfish directly sank into the water, seemingly intending to launch a surprise attack from beneath the depths. But at this moment, Shi Jin, standing on the ice, was quite calm; with the lock-on of his peerless super-vision, even if the enemy submerged into the water, in his eyes it was no different from a frontal ambush.

"Pulse Fist!!" Xiao Qin did not know whether an underwater ambush would work, but she had no choice but to try. This Shi Jin made her deeply uneasy.

Rumble!!!

After the Demonic Starfish had hidden in the water for a long while, the ice around Shi Jin suddenly shattered, and seven or eight pulse cannons burst forth from the depths. Shi Jin paid these no mind, for they were merely the Demonic Starfish's feints; before super-vision that could see through the shifts of energy, neither ice nor water currents could obstruct his grasp of the battle.

Crack!!

Then, following the feint, the Demonic Starfish did not wait long within the currents—a full-force blow came crashing down, and at the same time, Shi Cen slowly drove the sword spirit into the ground.

If it had been Shiyi facing this Demonic Starfish, he might have had a headache, for its Cellular Rapid Growth was too troublesome; even if Shiyi's burst could pound it into mincemeat, it might not be able to finish it off in one blow. But running into Crimson Pupil—the Demonic Starfish could only call itself unlucky.

"Soul Slash."

Boom!

As Shi Jin's words fell.

The next instant, the blade erupted with gray qi, forming a soul-sword domain, entwined with spiritual deterrence; the materialized deterrence instantly transformed into a sky full of red sword-feathers, like a phantom sword dance, like a hundred phoenixes crying in unison, sweeping toward the pulse cannons in every direction.

And as Shi Zhuo rose floating into the air, the sword spirit he had planted—beneath the incredulous expressions of Xiao Qin, Huang Qi, and the others—abruptly swelled in volume, transforming at once into a hundred-meter giant sword, like a divine artifact suppressing the ocean, instantly unleashing a terrifying soul-pressure; the sword-pressure smashed down like the sky collapsing onto the Demonic Starfish, which had just been about to break through the ice.

Within the seawater, the Demonic Starfish felt the enormous pressure descending from the heavens; its frenzied pupils instantly cleared, revealing an expression of terror. The next moment, accompanied by one last "Aah—" scream, with a "plop," its body bearing not a single wound, its eyes rolled white from the shock, and it continuously sank into the sea!

Rumble!!

At the same time, the sea roared, and enormous waves rolled in every direction.

Countless layers of ice were in an instant transformed into ice blossoms.

"Cough." At the same time, sensing that the Demonic Starfish had lost its spiritual connection with her and the enhancement had been severed, Xiao Qin staggered back a step, dizzy, and raised her head to look at the red-haired, crimson-eyed Shi Jin.

"This..." The other two majors were at a loss, and only the Gem Cat said with a smile: "All right, the victory is decided. Time for us to set off."

With that, its telekinesis wrapped around the Demonic Starfish sinking toward the seafloor, and with a designated instant teleport, it fished the fellow out and delivered it to Xiao Qin's side.

Demonic Starfish: @.@

Looking at the Demonic Starfish, which seemed to have been struck silly, Xiao Qin was utterly silent. She stared at Cen Yu and said: "I've lost. But to defeat me with a level-five telepathy talent—are you a monster?"
