The clash between Qin Chen and Li Yue'er reached a crescendo, enduring over ten relentless minutes.

In this moment, Qin Chen's arms radiated a blinding golden aura as he unleashed a series of savage punches, each blow manifesting as a deadly, golden-fisted onslaught hurtling toward Li Yue'er.

Li Yue'er moved skillfully, employing the step technique she mastered, evading each of Qin Chen's attacks with precision.

With each move, she closed the distance with Qin Chen until, finally, she appeared behind him.

With a surge of malevolence, her dark armor erupted, spewing forth black flames that engulfed the battlefield, compelling Qin Chen to retreat. The black flames licked at his form, refusing to yield; if anything, they voraciously consumed his once-invulnerable golden aura.

On the opposing end, Li Yue'er soared into the air on her dark wings, hands raised high, conjuring a colossal black fireball pulsating with intense heat.

In the ensuing moment, she unleashed the inferno towards Qin Chen, the searing heat instantly igniting the surrounding grass.

Observing this, Qin Chen's countenance turned grave. He tightly clenched both fists, amplifying the radiant golden aura within his being.

As the giant fireball closed in, he unleashed a thunderous roar, "RAAAAAAARGH!" The accompanying surge of golden brilliance was blinding to any onlookers.

In an instant, a resonant "BOOM!" echoed, signaling the collision of the opposing forces – a clash between the profound darkness and the radiant golden light.

The spectators, if any were present, would marvel at the tumultuous clash, a visual symphony of darkness and gold unfolding before their eyes.

The flames roared, casting fiery tendrils in every direction, scorching not only the combatants but also the seats and the very structure of the stadium. A veil of smoke billowed, shrouding the battlefield in an eerie haze.

Li Yue'er gracefully touched down on the ground, her gaze unwaveringly fixed upon the lingering black inferno before her.

As each second passed, the smoke gradually dissipated, yet the fire continued to rage with intensity.

Shortly after, Li Yue'er's eyes widened in realization. Something akin to an energy whip, long and sinuous, abruptly emerged from the fiery remnants, hurtling towards her. With no time to evade, it coiled around her body. novelbuddy.c(o)m

In the next moment, Qin Chen emerged from the flames, landing directly in front of Li Yue'er.

His visage was now terrifying, adorned with burn marks across his body. However, a golden aura emanated from him, gradually mending his wounds.

"You can't defeat me, Yue'er. You belong to me!" Qin Chen declared.

"You're insane!" Li Yue'er retorted.

Subsequently, her hands emitted black flames that melted the energy bonds. She then directly touched both of Qin Chen's ears.

"I'll show you how I'll defeat you!" she uttered coldly.

Dark energy streamed from her hands into Qin Chen's ears.

Qin Chen couldn't restrain his screams as he felt the darkness infiltrating his mind and coursing through his entire being.

"AAAAAAAARGH!" he shouted uncontrollably.

Simultaneously, his pupils transformed into a pitch-black hue, mirroring Li Yue'er's eyes.

The once-enveloping golden aura on his body slowly dissipated, replaced by a dark energy that seemed to consume him like a cancer.

After a brief moment, his golden aura vanished entirely, and he collapsed to the ground.

Li Yue'er stood, wearing an expression of fatigue. She had depleted nearly all of her dark essence.

Raising her hand, a dark sword materialized in her grasp.

"Now, let's bring this to an end," she said coldly.

The sword advanced toward Qin Chen with a clear intent to kill, but it halted just before making contact.

Li Yue'er furrowed her brows, muttering to herself, "So, you don't want him dead, huh?"

Unable to drive her dark sword into Qin Chen's body, she was restrained by Li Yue'er's original intention.

Eventually, she withdrew the sword, gazing silently at Qin Chen writhing in pain on the ground.

Without uttering a word, wings of darkness unfurled on her back, and she gracefully departed from the scene.

The atmosphere settled into silence, with only the sound of smoke billowing from the burning black fire.

Qin Chen appeared pitiful, dark energy emanating from his body as he lay on the ground, slowly corroding his skin. Simultaneously, the golden aura reappeared, gradually restoring his damaged skin.

"H-help me... Lady Shen... Call Li Yan," he uttered with difficulty.

In response to Qin Chen's plea, the jade emitted a glow, and Shen Yulan materialized in a spectral form.

Qin Chen's expression brightened slightly, sensing a glimmer of hope. However, Shen Yulan's countenance did not reflect well; anger and disappointment were evident.

"Lady Shen... Please call Li Yan," Qin Chen pleaded.

Shen Yulan crossed her arms. "I'm truly at a loss for words, Qin Chen. I thought you had changed for the better, but I was wrong. You've gone mad just because of Li Yue'er... My intuition was wrong; I should have been with Long Tian all along instead of you!" she expressed, disappointment and anger resonating in her tone.

Qin Chen's countenance darkened, "I cannot bear to lose her, Lady Shen. You should understand the depth of my emotions," he replied.

Shen Yulan's disappointment deepened upon hearing this.

"I really can't continue with you anymore, Qin Chen. You have repeatedly disappointed me!" she expressed with profound disappointment.

Without uttering another word, she retreated into the jade necklace, and the jade swiftly detached from Qin Chen's neck, soaring away and leaving him in solitude.

Qin Chen's eyes widened in disbelief. Shen Yulan... His confidante, his closest person... Leaving him...

His expression became vacant, his body instantly weakened as he realized what he had done.

Unconsciously, tears flowed from his eyes, recalling the hardships he had endured in his life.

His family slaughtered, leaving only him. The girl he thought was his future wife betrayed him, finding solace in the arms of his enemy, Long Tian. His mentor, Han Yuan, who imparted invaluable knowledge, died right before his eyes. And now, Shen Yulan, the compassionate woman who had saved his life many times, was leaving him.

His sobbing intensified with a profound sense of sorrow.

"Why... O God? Why do you subject me to such profound trials in life? What is my wrongdoing?" he uttered, tears streaming down his face.

His cries resonated amidst the lingering black smoke and flames, marking his grief over his fate.
