System vs Rebirth

Clink!

For the last several minutes, Noel and Xishui had been exchanging more than a thousand clashes. They tried their best to weaken their enemies, but Xishui had a hard time actually injuring or even exhausting Noel without using too much spiritual energy.

On the other hand, Noel looked like he was seriously trying to take Xishui down but remained careful, as if he didn't want to make a single mistake due to his condition.

As their spiritual energy started to run low, both of them became a bit more desperate. They didn't mind any small injuries at this stage, knowing full well that the enemy wouldn't be defeated unless they sacrificed a thing or two.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Ha…" Noel exhaled while looking at the incoming Xishui.

He waved his sword horizontally, cutting everything within a fifty-meter radius. However, Xishui skillfully slid down, avoiding the attack. After that, he jumped toward Noel and kicked him, but the latter managed to put his sword in front.

Then Noel spun his body and made another swing toward his neck, but Xishui kicked the air to propel himself to the side.

Their battle was observed by Anna from a distance.

Anna noticed Incetta was trying to see their fight and feel their energy, so she explained something that Vivi might not know.

"In this kind of battle, what do you think you should do in order to win?" Anna asked.

Incetta thought for a moment. "Finding a gap in the opponent's attack?"

"That too, but that's not it. I mean, imagine that you have just fought two ancient demons. In that condition, you still have to fight him. What do you think you should do to win?"

Incetta shook her head. "I don't know. With such conditions, I don't think I have the energy to win this battle. If two superior demons just ganged up on me and the third one came, I wouldn't be able to do anything."

Anna smiled. "In that case, let's think this way. With everything you have, not necessarily your strength, what do you think you can do?"

"Not necessarily my strength?" Incetta noticed the wording. "Connection? Getting help from someone?"

Anna nodded. "That's right. In this scenario, who do you think you should call to help you?"

Incetta thought for a moment. There was only one name that could solve this problem. "Mr. Dhui?"

"Correct."

"But our agreement is to deal with the heavenly disasters without them. However, not only have we made Miss Rui take part, but we're also going to involve Mr. Dhui. Won't that cause a problem with the agreement?"

"Not at all. That guy is not a heavenly disaster. In addition, the information provided by the Ui clan is that the heavenly disasters are separated. It's because of their clan that all of this can happen, so we should be the ones getting compensated. After all, Noel has been the one handling all this problem."

Incetta crossed her arms. "Does that mean we're going to ask for compensation?"

"Diplomatically, yes. However, to grab Rui's heart, we won't. This is just an assurance, so that Rui will do her best for the family once she returns with us. Besides, this will make the Ui clan look at us favorably. And the Zaecuria Kingdom will also be regarded highly.

"Hence, the Zaecuria Kingdom will thank us for this because we have brought an opportunity for them."

Incetta nodded in understanding. "I see. That's how you kill two birds with one stone."

"Correct." Anna smiled. "With that in mind, what do you need to do?"

"Buy enough time until the reinforcement arrives?"

"That's true, but not enough. Noel is a genius in a mind battle. Buying enough time is not necessarily a good thing because the other party can escape."

"Then what should we do? We don't have enough strength to surround him." Incetta panicked. There would definitely be some trouble if they let him escape.

Anna smirked. "He is doing exactly that thing."

While they were talking, Noel and Xishui continued their clash. However, it looked like Xishui was going to win this battle.

"Ha… Ha…" Noel panted several times. His spiritual energy was running low. Xishui had also inflicted several wounds. Even with the Mind Separation Circulation Method, it was not enough to fight Xishui.

Even then, Noel wasn't the type that would go down without a fight. There were several wounds on Xishui's body, with the deepest one being the slash wound on his chest that ran all the way to the right thigh.

Noel took a deep breath as he said, "Despite talking big earlier, you couldn't even defeat me in my condition. What a joke."

Xishui gritted his teeth. He was obviously frustrated because he should have killed Noel, Anna, and Rui by this time.

However, no one would expect there to be a freak with two spirits having True Spirit Body.

"Buying time? It's useless." Xishui leaped into the air and dropped a kick. Noel caught it with his blade while Xishui applied more power and turned the ground into another crater while saying, "No matter what you do, you won't be able to escape alive today."

"You are the one who can't escape alive today." Noel chuckled.

Both of them struck each other, which produced a massive shock wave.

"If only you hadn't done anything, you would be able to survive. Unfortunately, you're too arrogant, thinking that you will be able to defeat me today." Noel smirked. "Well, I won't be the one to kill you, though."

"!!!" Both of them suddenly sensed an incoming presence from the north. It was as if this person was Xishui's reinforcement.

However, Xishui never had a reinforcement in mind, let alone someone at a transcendence rank.

That was why this reinforcement wasn't his. It was Noel. The reinforcement intentionally came from the north to fully block his escape route.

"You…" Xishui was stunned.

"You have fought me for too long." Noel smirked. Noel's ingenious plan was not buying time. It was to make the fight feel short. As a result, Xishui thought he still had time before anything could happen.

Little did she know, he had been the one falling into Noel's trap.

In the distance, Dhui ran at his fastest speed, his body fully covered in black patterns.

He jumped into the air and pulled his fist. "Xishui! How dare you!"
