Indeed, as soon as Mengdie saw the giant axe change direction, she disregarded her own safety and dashed like lightning between him and the two sisters! But no matter how fast she was, she could no longer stop the swing of the axe! Mengdie steeled herself, her anxious eyes suddenly turning into a cold and serene light...
She raised her right arm, blocking her right side... facing the incoming axe blade...
"Clang——!!!!!!"
The axe struck, causing a thunderous explosion! Then, from Mengdie's arm came...
"Crack..."
The sound of bones breaking...
"Hm? This beautiful viper is so strong? She can actually block Kaid’s strike with her flesh and blood?" The old king was slightly surprised at the scene on the execution stage.
The chief steward whispered something in his ear. The old king then chuckled and said, "That's right. Her arm is broken. With such a serious injury, she's bound to lose the fight!"
Lose?
Most people present, including Edward and the sisters, probably thought so. But in front of all the royal knights, in front of these people seasoned by battles and threats of death, a person destined to lose would never have such clear, icy eyes...
Mengdie's expression showed no pain. No, more precisely, her face showed no expression at all. Those eyes, usually symbolizing allure and seduction, now emitted an indescribable calm light. It was the gaze of a warrior, clear... but without a trace of warmth.
As the axe left Mengdie's arm, it seemed to be ready to strike again. But the middle-aged man suddenly realized that the blood on the girl's waist and arm... was slowly disappearing?
No, not disappearing. Evaporating! The blood, as if exposed to extreme heat, gradually evaporated! And with the evaporation of the blood came...
"Crackle..."

Flames... began to emerge from her fist. Starting as a flicker, soon her right fist was engulfed in a blazing inferno!!!
Linda, seeing this, quickly turned to her husband and asked, "Dear, did you give her any other magic stones besides 'Sky Burn'? The flames on her fist must be from your magic!"
Cisco, too, was puzzled and speculated, "That must be the power of 'Sky Burn.' Maybe she unconsciously concentrated all the remaining magic in her body into her right arm, causing the flames to emerge..."
(Countdown... 30 seconds.)
"Extinguish the flame... kill!!!"
The middle-aged man had regained his senses from the dizziness and shouted, raising his axe for another Storm Spin! But before his axe could start spinning, a petite figure had already rushed into his embrace...
"Boom——!!!"
A fist containing flames heavily struck his abdomen! The middle-aged man felt a tightness in his chest and spat out another mouthful of blood! At this point, he no longer thought of initiating his ultimate move but tried to distance himself from the girl!
Releasing the giant axe with his left hand, he formed a fist to strike the girl's head! Mengdie ducked, lunging forward, and passed under him. Without rising, she pressed her palms to the ground, pushing forcefully, her feet striking the back of the middle-aged man’s head again! The man staggered forward, quickly swinging his axe backward!
(20 seconds)
Did it hit? No, it didn't. So, where is she?
By the time he turned around, he saw the girl already standing on his axe. Those cold eyes in the air rapidly approached. By the time he realized he should let go, his nose was hit hard by a knee.
"Ow!... Fight... fight!!!"
The middle-aged man's nose bled, but he still roared, reaching out to grab the girl! However, after three consecutive hits to the head, his vision blurred, and he staggered, falling to the ground.
(10 seconds)
The dizziness in his head deprived the middle-aged man of most of his vision, but that didn’t mean he would give up resistance! He pulled back the axe, trying to chop the blurry figure in front of him! But, a fist engulfed in flames shattered his last defense...
(9 seconds)
The fiery fist struck the surface of the giant axe, "crack" - the heavy axe cracked into countless pieces!
(8 seconds)
The middle-aged man felt the weight in his hand suddenly lighten, dropping the remaining axe handle, reaching out to grab the blurry figure!
(7 seconds)
The girl accurately kicked the man's wrist, his entire arm immediately went limp!
(6 seconds)
One hand pressed down on the middle-aged man's chest, pinning him to the ground! Through his blurred vision, the man could clearly see the fiery fist raised high, aiming at his head!
(5 seconds!)
The fiery fist, without hesitation, plummeted down...
...
...
...
At that moment, time seemed to stand still. The middle-aged man closed his eyes, silently awaiting death... But why was death taking so long to come?
He slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was the small fist still radiating flames. The fiery fist was stopped less than a centimeter from his nose. He could clearly feel the heat and power contained in the fist. But from beginning to end, the fist never fell.
The girl behind the fist still had calm eyes. Her gaze was clear and icy, her face expressionless. Her movement frozen, as if the whole world had come to a halt. Including her killing intent...
The entire crowd was silent... Numerous eyes were all focused on the girl, all focused on her fist. No one knew why she had spared the lethal blow. Did she have enough confidence that no matter how many times the royal knight stood up, she could knock him down again?
5... 4... 3... 2... 1.
As time reached the hour, the flames on Mengdie's fist gradually extinguished. The previously composed face began to show signs of fatigue and vulnerability. She slowly withdrew her fist from the man's nose, turned around, and faced the old king. Her breathing, heavy again, resumed in her chest. The broken bones in her arm and the wound on her waist started to bleed again...
