Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 235 Cornerstone

"Rumble--"

Buildings collapsed one after another, and rubble fell, blocking Chu Deng's path and view.

Surrounded by earth and rocks, with attacks threatening at any moment, Chu Deng did not back down at all. Even though she had almost choked to death on the panda's soil just now, she was focused on finishing the battle quickly and would never allow herself to fall into that state again.

She darted swiftly through the gaps in the buildings, like a nimble swallow, moving lightly among the collapsed rubble.

Unfortunately, the soil and rocks are all under the control of the pandas and are not static.

Just as Chu Deng landed on a rock, the rock suddenly came to life, restricting Chu Deng's feet. With a dull thud, a huge rock fell from the sky. If it had hit him, Chu Deng would probably have been bleeding from a head wound on the spot.

Chu Deng didn't use any special abilities at all. She smashed the falling stone above her head with a single punch, and amidst the shards, she frowned and closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, flames erupted from her legs, and the stones that had trapped her instantly crumbled into ashes, which she then trampled under her feet.

The two moved extremely fast, with Chu Deng constantly closing in on the panda. Having learned from close-quarters combat mistakes, the panda retreated while using its earth-based abilities to block.

"Is the panda scared?"

"In this stalemate, it's obvious that the lighthouse can break through his defenses. We can't fight him up close, and we can't beat him from a distance either. We might as well just admit defeat."

"Stop talking nonsense! If it weren't for the clock tower's ability to rewind time and save him a few times, the battle would have been over long ago!"

In the eyes of the audience, the panda was already showing signs of defeat, and was now merely making a death throes.

"He won't give up." In the monitoring room, Death sighed as he looked at the constantly changing data of the panda.

As for the reason?

He Feiquan and Death were on the same page. They both knew about Panda's past experiences and that his enemy was waiting for him on the field. He had to fight for this one and only chance to kill him.

Level 4 beings from different countries rarely meet. The United States previously sent people to China to spy on China, resulting in the deaths of two Level 4 beings, who suffered a loss they could not speak of. Those in power in other countries who heard about this incident were indirectly taught a lesson.

Having missed this opportunity, the panda will likely find it difficult to take revenge in person.

Death had also heard about the unusual things that had happened to Panda during his recent medical check-up. It was inevitable that his condition would decline with age, and even those with superpowers could not escape illness.

"Maybe I should just give up..." Death thought to himself. If it were him, he probably would have already raised his hands in surrender. It would be too embarrassing to be beaten down by a junior...

Is it ugly?

Even the panda knows it looks bad, so what is he persisting in? Is he waiting for the lighthouse to lose its mind and take pity on him? In the end, as long as you have enough strength, the fourth-level arena is a meat grinder for others, but a stage to make a name for yourself in the world for some.

Give up?

Panda rejected the idea, his gaze fixed firmly on Chu Deng, unless he died!

"Bang bang bang-"

The earth and rocks blocking the way exploded like fireworks, and the closer Chu Deng got to the panda, the slower he became.

It wasn't that she didn't want to be faster, but the endless earth-based attacks forced her to devote more energy to it.

Traps suddenly appearing on the ground, spikes emerging from the earth, falling rocks, and even constantly changing terrain...

The land is the foundation beneath our feet, often overlooked and silent, yet it supports all things.

But this foundation could not ultimately withstand the invisible flames.

Chu Deng stared indifferently at the panda so close to him, the scythe in his hand waving like the final pronouncement of death.

Under the shadow of death, the panda's eyes reddened, and it roared in anger!
