Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Chapter 197 Collapse (Supplement 12.12)

No, no, we can't let it decline like this.

Power, more power!

Su Li seemed to have gone mad, constantly urging the demonic energy within his body, trying to maintain this power at its peak.

But things rarely go as he wishes.

The sun sets and the moon rises, one waxes as the other wanes; this is the law of his power.

The Icefish let out a triumphant roar with the rest of its throat. It was going to die, and nothing could be more delightful than seeing the annoying flies die before it did.

Next, kill as many of the remaining small fry as you can!

Let's start with this guy with the fire sword!

The Icefish lowered its head and slammed its head down on Su Li.

Su Li did not dodge. Already somewhat out of control, Su Li directly used her greatsword to slash upwards at the Axe Ice Fish.

With a clang, the blade of the greatsword collided with the remaining horn tissue on the head of the Icefish, sparking a series of sparks in the darkness.

Su Li was struck as if by lightning, her hand bleeding from the shock. Even though the Icefish was on the verge of death, its power was still beyond Su Li's ability to withstand.

But Su Li still gripped the sword hilt tightly with brute force and swung it down at the Icefish Axe once more.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, one collision after another rang out.

Then, with a thud, Ivan slammed his large shield into the side of the Icefish's foot. This strike, combined with Su Li's attack, successfully threw the Icefish off balance, causing it to stagger.

Taking advantage of the situation, Su Li slashed the greatsword into his throat, unleashing the heat of the Yang Yan.

But this force is waning.

He is irreversibly transforming into an ice form.

At this moment, Su Li, who had calmed down a bit, suddenly remembered some techniques she had seen on the Invisible Blade.

The sun sets and the moon rises—this is unstoppable—but this gradual decline in power can be brought to an end prematurely.

That's a technique from Infinite Blade, using skill to suppress the slowdown between explosive moves, maintaining a short burst of power, and then unleashing the side effects all at once afterward. It's a desperate technique that injures the opponent first, then the user.

But what if this technique were applied to one's own Sun and Moon Revolving Sword?

After the sun reaches its peak, it begins to decline. If we consider this decline as the price of a slowdown, what will happen if we suppress this price and accumulate a 'heat gap'?

It's faster to reach the peak of the lunar cycle!

This is why Su Li chose the book "Infinite Blade," but for a long time he has not figured out how to apply this technique to his own swordsmanship.

But at that very moment, a sudden inspiration struck him, and he recalled the strange sights he had witnessed before.

The sun and the moon shine together.

Yes, when the sun appears, the moon doesn't disappear; it's just that its light is obscured by the sun. And when the moon rises, the sun doesn't disappear either; the moon's radiance is the sun's radiance.

Sunlight and moonlight, though seemingly opposite, actually originate from the same source.

The flames on the Zurich sword suddenly ignited.

This yang flame not only reached its highest temperature once again, but with each swing of Su Li's hand, it also released a layer of flames that resembled solar prominences.

"At its zenith!"

Faster, stronger, and hotter slashes, like a storm, stirred up a solar flare storm on the flat ground. The scorching solar flare struck the head of the Axe Icefish again and again, and the scattered solar prominences burned the exposed internal organs of the Axe Icefish.

"Roar!!!" The Icefish let out a painful roar. Its frozen and numb internal organs warmed up again, which instead caused it intense pain.

With another horizontal slash, Su Li coughed up a mouthful of blood. The flames on the greatsword instantly transformed into blue-white moonlight, reaching its lowest temperature right from the start.

"The bright moon hangs high in the sky!"

The greatsword, transformed into a moon, doubled in speed, its wild swings resembling a rising moon. The original ice blades turned into icy light, piercing the Icefish's body again and again, freezing its recently warmed internal organs once more.

The Icefish, nearing the end of its life, had almost completely destroyed all its meridians and could no longer withstand Su Li's fierce attack. It let out a wail and was engulfed by the light of the moon, its life force flickering like a candle in the wind.

With a snap, Su Li's sword blade struck the joint of the Axe Icefish's spine, successfully slicing open the gap in the spine and paralyzing the Axe Icefish.

Losing control, the Icefish's legs went limp, and it stumbled and fell to its knees.

The Icefish, which had fallen to the ground, revealed a hint of madness in its eyes.

He will die here today, all thanks to that dark-skinned monster's self-destruction.

But who told you that you're the only one who can self-destruct?

The Icefish manipulated the crystal core within its body, extracting all the power within it.

At this moment, he also intended to use self-destruction to kill all of them.

[Be careful, the energy within the Axe Ice Fish is surging rapidly!] Song Mingyu shouted in the mental link.

Su Li's heart tightened, and she quickly stopped and ran towards Song Mingyu and the others.

But it was still too late.

He hadn't run more than a few steps when the crystal core inside the Icefish exploded instantly.

A massive surge of earth elemental magic energy erupted into the earth, momentarily stunning Su Li, who had braced herself for being blown up in the back.

Then, the mountain peaks began to roar!

The entire mountain is collapsing.

This place was originally the territory of the Axe Ice Fish. The base of this mountain had long been dug with all sorts of holes by the Axe Ice Fish. These holes would not collapse; the Axe Ice Fish would simply reinforce them with their magical energy.

Now, the Icefish has self-destructed using its crystal core, igniting the underground tunnel.

In an instant, the entire land shattered into pieces, as if it had turned into a block of tofu.

Subsequently, the collapse of this land triggered a minor earthquake, which in turn caused a chain reaction in other caves.

The entire mountain peak began to collapse downwards like dominoes. Rocks mixed with various kinds of ice, snow and soil formed a massive mudslide that flowed towards Su Li and his group.

The ground beneath Su Li and the others suddenly collapsed. The instantaneous feeling of weightlessness left Su Li momentarily disoriented.

Zu Li glanced down and saw an abyss of unknown depth below, her eardrums throbbing with pain, and above her, a rapidly approaching mudslide.

Where is the vitality?

Zuli saw the railway tracks on the side.

The system provides rails that can be erected even in the air, as long as the distance between the two ends of the fulcrum does not exceed five kilometers.

So, as long as you grasp this, you can survive.

[Grab onto the tracks!]

Zuli shouted in the mental link.

Ivan heard his brother-in-law's words and stepped onto the collapsed rocks. Thanks to the monster's magic, what was originally a clump of mud beneath his feet had held together as the rocks collapsed due to the mud's stickiness. Now that the monster was dead, the mud slowly hardened into solid soil, giving him a foothold.

He stomped his foot hard, and his whole body flew up, barely managing to grab the rails beside him.

But the other people weren't so lucky.

Su Li rushed towards Song Mingyu immediately. Sophia's fate was unknown, and Song Mingyu's magical energy was nearly depleted from making the previous potion, leaving her with very limited mobility. They both needed help.

Su Li grabbed Song Mingyu with one hand and Sophia with the other. She stepped on a rock in mid-air and used it to leap towards the railway tracks.

Song Mingyu hugged Su Li tightly and sent a message through the mental link: [Don't worry, Sophia's spine is broken, she's paralyzed, but she won't die. The temple can heal her.]

Su Li finally felt relieved.

However, at this point, he also discovered a fatal problem.

The stone that Zuli used to gain leverage in the air was too small, and she couldn't get enough strength from it.

Zurich and Ivan, who had already grabbed the rails, exchanged a glance.

At this point, there was another way to save people: throw them up. Ivan could still grab someone with his hands.

But who will we embarrass ourselves over?

Sister, brother-in-law, Sister Mingyu?

Three answers flashed through Ivan's mind, but he dared not think any further.

After all, below is a bottomless, pitch-black abyss, above is a mudslide, and outside is a temperature below -70 degrees Celsius.

Severely injured and falling into this place, it seems like a near-death experience.

Zuli noticed Ivan's deep inner turmoil and smiled slightly.

[Silly boy, caught it!]

With a forceful throw, Su Li tossed the unconscious Sophia toward Ivan.

Ivan grabbed his sister's arm and stared at Zuli, who was falling into the abyss due to the recoil.

Su Li hugged Song Mingyu and gave her a thumbs up. "You brat, you think you're an adult? Making this kind of decision is way too early for you."

Your brother-in-law is still alive.

Don't make that face.

【Take your sister back to the temple to heal her, then come find me right now!】

I will be back!

Leaving behind her last words, Su Li severed her mental link with Song Mingyu.
