The battlefield was a spectacle of precision and power. The Celestial Qin Soldiers, with their disciplined formation and devastating skillset, turned the tide against the void-infected Nightstar warriors.
Though outnumbered by dozens to one, the Qin Soldiers mowed through their enemies like a scythe through grass, leaving destruction in their wake.
Chaos Unleashed
Sensing the dire situation, the Nightstar General let out a deafening roar, raising a command token.
"All forces, charge!"
The remaining Nightstar soldiers roared in unison, pushing forward with renewed fervor.
At the same time, several Void Magicians took to the skies, their hands weaving arcane patterns as they began casting spells.
"Bold move," Lucien murmured, raising a hand.
The Bright Moon Palace disciples responded swiftly, their delicate hands forming seals.
"Blood Moon's Radiance!"
Scarlet moons descended from above, their light slicing through the air like blades.
The Void Magicians, caught mid-chant, were either struck down by the blood moonlight or interrupted mid-spell, causing catastrophic mana backlash.
Several mages plummeted from the sky, their bodies charred and broken.
Despite the interruption, a few Void Magicians managed to resume their casting. Their persistence was short-lived, however, as the disciples shifted tactics.
With lunar chains binding the remaining casters, the Bright Moon disciples unleashed a relentless barrage of spells, obliterating their targets.
A Fierce Clash
The battle raged on.
Arrows, spells, and the resounding clash of steel filled the air.
The Celestial Qin Soldiers surged forward with unmatched discipline, their spears piercing through the chaotic Nightstar ranks.
The Bright Moon disciples, stationed behind, rained down waves of magic, their precision and power devastating the disorganized enemy forces.
The Nightstar soldiers, despite their superior numbers, were systematically dismantled.
Enter the General
Suddenly, the Nightstar General made his move.
With a thunderous leap, he soared into the air, covering hundreds of meters in an instant. His flaming spear and massive shield exuded an aura of destruction as he descended upon the Qin formation.
"Lin Daiyu!" Lucien shouted, his eyes narrowing.
The Nightstar General landed with explosive force, scattering several Qin Soldiers.
His flaming spear tore through the air, and the rocky shield he wielded radiated impenetrable defense—a fearsome combination of strength and resilience.
The tide momentarily shifted as the general aimed to disrupt the Qin formation and rally his troops.
But before he could unleash further devastation—
A Blade of Elegance
A flash of white light streaked through the battlefield.
"Shatter the wind and rain!"
Lin Daiyu's voice rang out, her figure a blur of movement.
The general, caught off guard, turned just in time to see the light approaching.
In the next instant, his spear arm was severed, blood spraying into the air.
Lucien smirked.
"Nine Unique Blades," he murmured, watching Daiyu's effortless strike.
The weapon she wielded was none other than the Nine Unique Blades, a legendary gold-tier weapon Lucien had bestowed upon her.

Nine Unique Blades (Level 10)
Lin Daiyu had become a formidable force, armed with gold-tier gear and supported by The Tree of Matrimony, which allowed her to progress at an extraordinary pace.
Her skill, Nine Unique Blades, had reached its peak, devastating any enemy in its path.
"Two Cuts of Rivers and Mountains!"
The Nightstar General roared in pain as Daiyu's second strike cleaved through his defenses, severing his newly regenerated arm.
Enraged, the general bellowed, his body swelling to colossal proportions.
"Devour!"
Grabbing nearby Nightstar soldiers, the general consumed them whole. His grotesque form expanded further, his power and aura growing exponentially.
Unnecessary Intervention
Lucien considered stepping in, activating his Heroic Power template to assist.
However, as he took a step forward, he stopped and laughed softly.
"Why bother?" he muttered.
"Three Cuts of Life and Death!"
"Four Shades of Ghosts and Gods!"
"Five Fates Severed!"
With each strike, Lin Daiyu's blade grew more luminous, her attacks gaining unstoppable momentum.
By the time her Fifth Cut landed, the Nightstar General's bloated form was reduced to fragments.
Even his corrupted soul was obliterated.
The battlefield fell silent as the general's Slaughter Chest materialized where his remains once stood.
"Clean up the rest," Lucien commanded, withdrawing a low-level blade to personally deal with a few stragglers.
Qin Keqing joined in, her movements elegant as she finished off the remaining Nightstar forces.
Within ten minutes, the enemy army was annihilated.
The results of the battle were staggering.
Dozens of Slaughter Chests were collected, brimming with spoils of war.
While the Celestial Qin Soldiers sustained minor injuries, no one had fallen.
The Bright Moon disciples, though exhausted, had maintained their composure.
The only visible damage was to morale—but even that seemed unshaken, their resolve as solid as ever.
