Seeing Su Zhan leave, Xiao Shan was furious. In his memory, the Rebels didn’t seem to have anyone named Ye Shuangluo.
“I don’t know you, kid. Looks like you’re a newbie. Your Grand Strategist really underestimates me.”
Ye Shuangluo gazed at Xiao Shan at the bottom of the steps. He didn’t need anyone to introduce him; he could tell this young man was most likely the commander of the Ghost Legion.
On his way here, he had encountered many soldiers of the Ghost Legion, all of whom were faceless, with nothing but black mist inside their armor.
“Not talking, huh? Fine, I’ll deal with you first, then kill all the rats here, and then go after your Grand Strategist. I should still have time.”
Xiao Shan’s casual attitude infuriated the Rebels, but they knew they were no match for the commander of the Ghost Legion.
The only one who could possibly face him was the newly joined Ye Shuangluo.
But everyone present had seen Ye Shuangluo being brutally beaten by Su Zhan in a previous battle.
So they didn’t believe Ye Shuangluo could win, but if he could hold out for a while, they could escape.
At that moment, Ye Shuangluo suddenly looked up at the starry sky.
Above the firmament, the Breaker Star shone brighter than ever.
Even though it was already dawn, the capital could still clearly see the dazzling star in the sky.
And this dazzling star was pouring all its starlight onto Ye Shuangluo.
[You have received the blessing of the Breaker Star]
[Temporary buff acquired: Health Points +500, Spiritual Power +500, All Attributes +5]
As the starlight flooded into Ye Shuangluo, the hunger that seemed to come from his soul completely vanished.
No one else could see this scene, but Xiao Shan looked on in shock.
“So, you’re the Fate Master of this generation’s Breaker Star?
But… I used to be one too.”
Xiao Shan looked up at the Breaker Star, and half of the starlight that was originally for Ye Shuangluo began to tilt towards him.
[Side Quest Triggered: One Shining Star is Enough]
[Quest Description: By chance, you have gained the recognition of the Breaker Star and become its Fate Master.
However, the former Fate Master of the Breaker Star, Xiao Shan, though long dead, still exists in a special form.
Two kings cannot coexist. From the moment you meet, only one can survive.
Kill Xiao Shan and show him that there can only be one Fate Master of the Breaker Star.]
[Quest Requirement: Kill Xiao Shan]
[Quest Reward: Power of the Breaker (Skill Book)]
Ye Shuangluo knew he had to give his all in this battle.
Xiao Shan also changed his casual demeanor, seriously eyeing his successor.
“Since you’re this generation’s Fate Master of the Breaker Star, let me, your predecessor, give you a proper lesson.”
A mass of black energy surged from Xiao Shan’s body, forming a dark blue demonic blade.
Without a word, Ye Shuangluo jumped off the White Tiger, his eyes slowly turning blood-red.
Self-Devour, Asura Demon Eye, Kill Order, activate!
With layers of buffs activated, Ye Shuangluo drew his blade and charged at Xiao Shan.
Bang!
The two blades clashed fiercely.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Shan’s blade couldn’t withstand the collision and shattered. His armor was also slashed by Ye Shuangluo.
But he didn’t care at all. Black energy surged, and the shattered armor on his chest instantly restored itself.
The demonic blade that had just shattered also returned to its original form.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Ye Shuangluo attacked relentlessly, while Xiao Shan showed no intention of defending.
Neither of them defended, it was purely attack against attack.
The Rebels, watching as VIP spectators from a distance, were dumbfounded. The battle between these two Fate Masters of the Breaker Star was like a fight between two raging beasts.
They knew they should leave quickly, but they couldn’t move. They were desperate to know who would emerge victorious.
Half an hour later.
Bang!
Xiao Shan’s blade shattered again, and his armor was slashed once more.
This time, although it quickly restored itself, both of them noticed that the restoration speed had slowed down.
Though the difference was slight, it was indeed slower than before.
Xiao Shan’s expression had long changed from relaxed to extremely serious. This was the first time he had encountered such a tough opponent.
He knew the Rebels had developed something called “Soul Slayer Powder,” specifically designed to hunt the Ghost Legion.
Or rather, specifically designed to hunt him.
But… why did it hurt so much?
Xiao Shan, being a soul entity, shouldn’t feel pain anymore, but every time he was slashed, it felt like falling into an ice cave or being burned by flames.
The most crucial part was that this kid, who seemed to be a pure human, had life force and recovery abilities even more terrifying than those of the demons and spirits.
The wounds he inflicted almost healed at a visible speed, stopping the bleeding, scabbing, and then healing.
So as long as this kid protected his heart and head, he could fight recklessly.
“Hey, kid, I don’t want to fight you anymore. How about we call it a truce?”
Ye Shuangluo ignored him, attacking relentlessly like a storm.
“Aren’t you worried about your Grand Strategist? That Overturning Sea General is no ordinary foe. Don’t you need to help him?”
Bang!
In response, more relentless attacks followed. Seeing that his words had no effect, Xiao Shan grew angry. Did this kid really think he was afraid?
It was just a matter of continuous attacks to see who would fall first. He didn’t believe he would lose to an unknown kid.
Ten minutes later.
Xiao Shan regretted it. The restoration speed of his armor and weapon was getting slower and slower.
What used to restore instantly now took a full five seconds.
And… it was really painful.
If the initial pain was barely tolerable, as time passed, the pain was driving him to madness.
And that kid still looked full of energy, with no visible wounds except for his broken armor.
No, he couldn’t continue this fight.
Xiao Shan had a strong premonition that if he got slashed again, he would die.
Escape! He had to escape immediately.
The moment Xiao Shan turned to flee, Ye Shuangluo converted all his Spiritual Power into ice elements. A massive amount of ice spread rapidly from his feet.
Xiao Shan was instantly frozen in place, but the ice couldn’t hold him. In less than a second, he shattered the ice.
Crack!
But as he broke free, Ye Shuangluo had already caught up and slashed down.
Even though he no longer had the Spiritual Power to maintain the Asura Demon Eye, it was no longer necessary.
This slash shattered Xiao Shan’s armor.
Xiao Shan’s armor broke piece by piece, and he could feel his soul slowly fracturing.
Even at this moment, Xiao Shan couldn’t believe he had lost. How could he lose? He was the invincible Fate Master of the Breaker Star.
At that moment, Xiao Shan suddenly saw several chains coming at him.
He was almost powerless to resist as the chains grabbed him and dragged him into a mysterious space.
Silence, a deathly silence.
The Rebels looked at Ye Shuangluo as if he were a god. That was the commander of the Ghost Legion, and he had just been taken down.
Thanks to the Game System’s cognitive modification, they didn’t find it strange that Ye Shuangluo could casually release ice.
But they were still in awe, as the area within fifty meters was covered in ice released by Ye Shuangluo, and the temperature had dropped several degrees.
Ye Shuangluo stood with his blade, his killing aura even more terrifying than before.
The White Tiger, hiding and watching, couldn’t help but gasp. The terrifying young man who had captured it had just been killed. Indeed, the Fate Master was the most formidable.
