Systemless Villain

Chapter 109 Clash of the Titans

"If I want something, I will surely get it, including you, Xia Qingyue," Long Guan said, his tone icy, his martial spirit's aura enveloping him.

"I've never been afraid of you," Xia Qingyue retorted, her Triad Titan reappearing with renewed intensity.

The atmosphere grew even more charged as their auras clashed. Long Guan, channeling the power of the Sea Dragon, faced off against Xia Qingyue and her formidable Triad Titan.

In the next moment, Xia Qingyue lunged forward, her sword thrusting with precision, but Long Guan deftly evaded the attack, swiftly closing the distance between them.

His fist struck out, aiming for her, but a massive hand from the Triad Titan intercepted the blow, crushing it with ease.

Seizing the opportunity, Xia Qingyue drove her sword toward Long Guan.

It made contact, but only a superficial scratch marred his skin, far from piercing it.

"It's rather amusing if you think you can breach a dragon's scales," Long Guan sneered, his confidence undiminished.

Unperturbed, Xia Qingyue gracefully stepped back, her movements calculated and defensive.

On the opposing side, Long Guan's hand transformed into dragon claws, and he launched a relentless assault, attacking with wild abandon.

Xia Qingyue skillfully blocked each of his attacks, countering his powerful claw strikes with the unwavering strength of her Triad Titan.

Clank!

Clank!

Clank!

The sound of the intense battle echoed fiercely. The fight between two Flowing Qi realm cultivators.

---

Clank!

Clank!

Clank!

The battle raged on; each of Long Guan's claw strikes met its match in Xia Qingyue's deft defense.

At this moment, Xia Qingyue intended to attack instead of defending. As Long Guan's claws approached, she simply stretched her hand forward. Just as his claws were about to connect, they were abruptly halted by an unseen force, creating a vulnerable opening.

Xia Qingyue seized the opportunity without hesitation; her sword gleamed with a golden light, and the Triad Titan behind her raised its hand high, grasping the same sword.

Then...

Slash!

Her blade cut into Long Guan's flesh, blood flowing from the wound. His dragon skin had been pierced!

"Aaaaaarkh!" Long Guan screamed in agony, swiftly retreating dozens of steps backward.

His eyes widened with disbelief as he saw his torn clothes stained with blood.

Then, his gaze returned to Xia Qingyue, anger clearly visible on his face.

"You actually wounded me!" he exclaimed, his tone laced with fury.

"I can kill you too," Xia Qingyue responded, her tone unwaveringly cold.

"You have no idea how powerful I am," Long Guan asserted.

With that, he leaped backward, diving into the deep lake.

Xia Qingyue's expression grew more serious; she couldn't fathom Long Guan's intentions.

The lake's surface appeared placid, but in the next moment, it churned and surged upward.

There stood Long Guan, bare-chested, with a sea dragon shadow looming behind him and a trident clutched in his hand.

Xia Qingyue was taken aback, not only by Long Guan's transformation but also because the wound on his body had vanished!

"I'll ask you once more, Qingyue. Will you become my woman?" Long Guan inquired, his tone frigid.

"Never!" Xia Qingyue replied without a moment's hesitation.

"Then don't blame me for what happens next," Long Guan declared coldly.

In the blink of an eye, he darted toward Xia Qingyue, his assault swift and relentless.

Clank!

Clank!

Clank!

The battle intensified, Xia Qingyue's face etched with seriousness as Long Guan's power surged.

In a swift motion, she struck at Long Guan with an open palm, forcing him back. However, Long Guan retaliated with a rapid zigzag maneuver, appearing before her and thrusting his trident.

Xia Qingyue attempted to dodge, but Long Guan's attack was too swift.

Stab!

The trident tip met her arm, drawing blood.

She swiftly retreated, her eyes filled with seriousness. Long Guan's attacks were relentless, and absolutely without hesitation.

"This is the price you pay, Qingyue. Please, I don't want this either. For the last time, will you be mine? I'll give you everything. Wealth, power, whatever you desire," Long Guan stated.

"I would choose death over being with you!" Xia Qingyue retorted without hesitation.

Her response ignited fury and frustration within Long Guan. He had never faced rejection from a woman before.

"In that case, I won't hold back," he said coldly, his anger seeping into his tone.

In an instant, he lunged at Xia Qingyue, his attacks fierce and unrelenting.

Clank!

Clank!

Clank!

Xia Qingyue struggled to defend herself against Long Guan's onslaught. If the battle continued at this pace, she would surely lose.

With each strike, she retreated, her eyes glowing with a red intensity.

Lifting her sword slowly, she then brought it down swiftly.

For a moment, nothing happened, but suddenly, Long Guan's body was marred by deep gashes, blood pouring from the wounds.

Seeing this, Long Guan's anger intensified. Water enveloped his wounds, gradually healing them.

"You'll regret this!" he exclaimed.

With that, he attacked Xia Qingyue again, his strikes becoming more ferocious.

The clash of their weapons echoed through the air, filling the surroundings with the intensity of their fight. And in that crucial moment...

Clank!

Xia Qingyue's sword was deflected by Long Guan's trident. Long Guan's mouth bulged, and a burst of blue fire shot out, aimed at her.

She had no choice but to dodge, yet the scorching heat still singed her hands.

And amidst the raging flames, something darted forward. Her eyes widened, and she quickly utilized her abilities, conjuring an invisible shield.

Yet, as it materialized, the object pierced through, striking her body.

Her eyes widened further as she looked down, where a sword had impaled her.

She swiftly pulled out the sword, but her body gave way, weakened from the exhausting battle.

Footsteps echoed, and Long Guan approached her.

"You should have listened to me, Xia Qingyue," he said.

"I never regret my decisions!" Xia Qingyue retorted.

"Yes, and that's why you'll bear the consequences for rejecting me," Long Guan said, his tone icy.

As his hand reached out towards Xia Qingyue, he halted, sensing something amiss.

Suddenly, an object was hurtling toward him at incredible speed.

He quickly retreated a dozen steps back.

Boom!

The object struck the ground, causing an explosion that sent dust billowing into the air.

As the dust gradually settled, a familiar figure stood before him.

"We finally meet, Long Guan. I've been anticipating this moment for a long time."
