Chapter 308 Cooperative Kill
As the girl's soft laughter rang out, the already fierce sandstorm became even more terrifying. With the wind amplifying the sand's force, the dark blue sea of fire was instantly swallowed up and vanished.
Sensing the overwhelming and terrifying magical power, the heretic demon's expression changed drastically, and he lifted his cloak, preparing to flee in another direction.
As a captain-level monster, he was already evenly matched with a yellow-level magical girl in battle, but the magical power unleashed by the brown-skirted magical girl had already surpassed that of a yellow-level.
Adding to Qin Nan, who was already on the verge of a breakthrough, the two of them actually showed a synergy greater than the sum of their parts. The Outer Path Demon didn't dare to take them head-on at all. At this moment, he felt as if he were facing two Green-level magical girls!
If that Shadow Clan member had cooperated with him, he could have managed to hold his own by taking advantage of the other's elusive abilities. But to his utter surprise, the other party had slipped away without the slightest hesitation.
Now, all the pressure was focused on him.
The heretic demon had no intention of lingering; he only hoped to escape before the opponent could unleash their deadly attack.
"Trying to run away?"
Just as the heretic demon was about to make a move, a cold shout made him tense up instantly.
The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and in the midst of the dark sandstorm, a white figure, like a ghost, suddenly burst out from the sandstorm and stabbed directly at the back of his neck.
The alarm bell behind him sent shivers down the spine of the heretic demon. He turned around swiftly, his scarlet whip lashing out fiercely with terrifying force.
click!
The ice and the crimson whip made contact in mid-air, and the crisp sound immediately pierced through the white noise of the sandstorm, extremely jarring.
The heretic gritted his teeth. In just one exchange, he immediately judged his opponent's combat strength from the power transmitted through the whip.
"You dare block my way, you orange-level ninja? Get out of my way!"
Sensing the terrifying feeling of impending death drawing ever closer, the heretic demon roared. He dared not linger for a moment, and had no time to retaliate against Tangcao behind him. He wished he could fly away as quickly as possible.
However, in that moment of hesitation, Tangcao's figure suddenly shortened.
"Ice Soul: Kaleidoscope!"
The crisp sound of the ice, mixed with the sand and dust, instantly caught up with the pace of the Outer Path Demon's advance. In just a moment, it extinguished the dark blue flames on the Outer Path Demon's body.
At the same time, frost covered the scarlet whip, and the originally soft and resilient whip suddenly stiffened, with barbs on the surface, like an icy thorn.
At that moment, Tangcao's swift sword had already arrived close, its blade piercing the air, and the whip was also broken into pieces, turning into countless ice particles that were instantly swallowed by the sandstorm. The demon's face was extremely gloomy; he knew that he had no chance of escaping from here.
He thought he could gather a wave of negative energy here by using the power of the alien beasts, but unexpectedly, the easy target in his eyes turned out to be an insurmountable obstacle.
A green-level magical girl who can manipulate sand is outrageous enough, but now they've added a yellow-level wind elementalist and an orange-level ice elementalist...
This lineup is enough to fight low-level officers, let alone him who is only a captain.
Without the slightest hesitation, knowing he couldn't survive, the heretic demon immediately changed his plans. He took a step forward, forcibly stopping his advance, and turned to pounce on Tang Cao.
"Even if I die, I'll take someone down with me! Ice elemental magical girl, come and fall into purgatory with me!"
"I've been waiting for this move from you." With a smirk, Tang Cao showed no panic in the face of the demon's dying counterattack, but instead revealed a smile.
Seeing the smile on Tangcao's face, the Outer Path Demon's expression froze instantly. The next moment, the figure of "Tangcao" suddenly shrank, rapidly shrinking in mid-air where there was no leverage, turning into a small white cat.
The demon outsider's deadly strike, aimed at "Tangcao's" head, struck empty air.
Two figures, one in red and one in white, passed each other in the air. Little White nimbly slipped under the arm of the Outer Path Demon, dodging the attack with seemingly dangerous yet incredibly elegant movements.
And look above, amidst the dim sandstorm, the real Tangcao (a type of grass) arrives, its roots treading on snow, as the surrounding sandstorm suddenly tears open a gap.
The sand and gravel were completely encased in ice.
The heretic looked up in horror, his heart filled with nothing but fear.
It was too late to react. The instant his attack missed, the gale transformed into invisible ropes that firmly bound his arms, while his legs were also bound by the sand.
Unable to make any effective moves, the ever-approaching white phantom in his eyes became the last sight of the heretic demon's life.
With a crisp "crack," the dark crystal on the left shoulder of the heretic demon suddenly shattered.
Watching the corpse rapidly lose its life force and begin to emit large amounts of black mist, Tang Cao landed steadily on the ground, standing with her sword in hand.
The abnormal fluctuations in negative energy gradually stabilized and subsided, and the surrounding catastrophe-like sandstorm also gradually calmed down.
Amidst the smoke and dust, Qin Nan and the magical girl in the brown dress slowly came into view.
"...It's over." Tang Cao let out a soft breath, her fair face flushed from the intense exercise, but she was still quite excited.
Previously, she had always worked with senior Qin Nan, but this time, she had the chance to work with a magical girl, which was a completely new experience for her.
"No, it's not over yet." At this moment, Qin Nan quickly came to Tang Cao's side, her hand still tightly gripping the dagger, her eyes constantly scanning the surrounding environment.
The girl in the brown dress also gripped the three-pronged fork, which was taller than her, tightly and carefully.
Noticing their wariness, Tangcao realized what was happening. "Is it because of Shadow Woman? That guy seems to have disappeared."
"The Shadow Clan can blend into shadows, so she's very likely still nearby. Be careful," Qin Nan whispered as he examined the anomalies in the shadows.
In fact, given her speed, it would have been the best choice for her to intercept and kill the heretic demon just now. However, the reason she didn't act was because she was searching for the missing person.
Amidst the raging winds and swirling sand, the entire subway station was filled with both wind and earth elements. This large-scale magic, in addition to causing widespread damage, could also affect everything around it.
No matter where or from which Shadow Woman wants to launch a sneak attack on anyone, Qin Nan's Wind will be able to detect it immediately.
However, the Shadow Woman never reappeared until the sandstorm subsided, and her presence vanished without a trace.
"If she were to attack us, our killing of the heretic demon just now was her last chance."
First, let Xiaobai interfere with the heretic's judgment, and then let Tangcao unleash her ultimate attack. The heretic, whose vision is obstructed by the wind and sand, cannot know Tangcao's true form, but it would be different if the Shadow Girl had been hiding in the shadows from the beginning.
That's why Qin Nan didn't make a move, because all her attention was focused on the unusual movements around her. If Shadow Woman were to make a move against Tang Cao, she would join the battle like lightning.
But looking at the quiet surroundings, Qin Nan frowned slightly. "And she hasn't shown up yet..."
"I'm afraid," Tang Cao interjected. "She probably already took advantage of the chaos and left."
As the sun sets, the evening glow on the horizon gradually turns purple, casting a dim light through the city's skyscrapers.
The streetlights were turned on one by one, illuminating the road brightly.
In the quiet corridors of old-fashioned buildings in the remote suburbs of Yandu, beneath a worn-out bicycle, shadows abruptly began to distort.
Then, amidst the rhythmic undulations resembling ocean waves, the silhouette of a woman emerged.
The light footsteps of high heels in the stairwell turned on the second-floor hallway light (the first-floor light was broken).
He slowly steadied himself, glanced casually at his surroundings, and adjusted his shoulder strap with a somewhat gloomy expression.
The image of Qin Nan echoed in my mind—the same short hair, the same carefree personality—followed by the memory of Tan Zhixin's fall from grace.
An unnamed flame of jealousy welled up in her heart.
"I should have thought of that long ago." She clenched her fist slightly, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes. "Xin'er, Xin'er, you really are..."
Although she knew that the relationship between Tan Zhixin and Qin Nan was not what she had imagined, for some reason, Shi still felt a tightness in her chest.
She didn't like this state, this state of seeing her past self reflected in another person.
If it weren't for the circumstances, she really wanted to rush up to Tan Zhixin right now and ask her properly.
But she quickly rejected the idea. Looking at her palm, she took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
"My lord, I have failed again..."
I shouldn't have acted without permission; I had more important things to do, but... my humanity... :”
Now that they have escaped "death," hiding themselves properly is the best option. If their identity is exposed at this point, many of their plans will likely be impossible to execute smoothly.
never mind..
After a long silence, Shi slowly shook his head, his entire demeanor returning to its previous aloofness.
Anyway, this wasn't the original goal. Since I can't stay here anymore, I might as well go abroad to avoid it for a while. At least I need to collect enough negative energy to awaken the adults first.
In order to piece himself back together, that person expended too much power. The most urgent thing now is to help that person regain his power.
Thinking of this, Shi cheered up again.
She lowered the brim of her hat and took a step to walk out of the stairwell.
Just then, a deep and magnetic voice sounded from behind her.
"Where do you want to go?"
The words broke the silence of the hallway, causing Shi to freeze in place.
