It was a feint, designed to lure the opponent into a parry outside their body's center line. When the center was exposed, he directly extended his leg for a straight side kick!
This kick, possessing extreme penetrating power, directly struck Asakura Miyuki's throat.
"Pfft!"
No matter how high Asakura Miyuki's physical strength was, being hit by Kiana's move caused her to directly lean back and fall to the ground.
Kiana also seized this opportunity to quickly retreat, moving to Su Moqian's side.
After the recent struggle, Kiana knew that even with her pistols, she couldn't break through the defense.
Therefore, after helping Su Moqian up, Kiana quickly said:
"Let's run first! I've already reported the situation to the police, and the Valkyrie forces will be here soon. Let's just hold on a little longer!"
Hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared in Su Moqian's eyes.
Seeing his expression, Kiana puffed out her cheeks:
"Why are you so surprised? Didn't you tell me to learn to rely on the strength of those around me?"
"No, I'm just surprised you actually listened to me," Su Moqian smiled.
Hearing Su Moqian's words, Kiana tilted her head slightly and said:
"Tch, who told you you're one of my few close friends..."
Recalling Su Moqian's determined eyes when he chose to single-handedly draw away the Pseudo-Herrscher to protect her, the tsundere young lady rarely didn't retort stubbornly.
"Although I don't want to ruin the mood between you two, Bronya believes that if we want to buy time, running is more appropriate."
Bronya, caught between the two, raised her hand somewhat awkwardly.
As soon as she said this, Su Moqian immediately nodded: "That makes sense!"
Then, he looked at Kiana and said, "I'll continue to protect Bronya, and you cover me, buying as much time as possible."
Kiana said without hesitation: "No problem!"
After glancing back at Asakura Miyuki, who had already stood up, the two exchanged a look.
Feeling the trust in each other's eyes, they nodded simultaneously.
The scene before them completely enraged Asakura Miyuki. She let out a strange cry and manipulated several thorns to surround them.
Seeing this, Kiana quickly jumped onto a nearby house to take cover.
Su Moqian, holding Bronya, dodged the thorns attacking from above with a slide. Two thorns below tried to change course to track Su Moqian.
But with two gunshots, the vines that were hit quickly lost their vitality.
At this moment, their positions were female on top, male below. Kiana stood on the rooftop, providing covering fire, while Su Moqian, on the ground, dodged continuously while holding the girl.
After dodging several rounds of attacks, Su Moqian felt his condition was not good and immediately shouted:
"Switch!"
Kiana quickly flipped down from the rooftop, while Su Moqian threw Bronya out of his arms.
Seeing this, Kiana smoothly caught Bronya and simultaneously opened fire to attract Asakura Miyuki's attention.
This time, their positions became male on top, female below.
Climbing the wall, Su Moqian, while Kiana drew fire, quickly adjusted his breathing and formed hand seals.
"C1 · Clay Spider!"
Although Su Moqian's stamina was running low, fortunately, he had gained C-rank Honkai Energy Adaptability during the last simulation, allowing him to manipulate a small amount of Honkai Energy to create clay spiders.
Soon, Su Moqian consumed a large amount of Honkai Energy and created fifteen clay spiders.
He manipulated half of them to hide on his body, while the other half were lifted by the Wind Pressure Sword and, along with small wind vortices, rushed towards Asakura Miyuki.
"Switch!"
As the explosions roared, Su Moqian fell from the wall, and Kiana threw Bronya out again, leaping back onto the rooftop to repeat her previous move.
After Su Moqian caught Bronya once more, she in his arms finally couldn't help but speak:
"Why don't you just put me down?"
"No, the opponent's thorns are extremely fast. If I put you down, you'll definitely be ambushed!" Su Moqian rejected Bronya's suggestion without hesitation.
Bronya: "..."
Then, the two continued to fight side-by-side in this manner for several rounds.
After this battle, Su Moqian, holding Kiana, was panting heavily, leaning against the wall with one hand.
Kiana, who had fallen into his arms, was also drenched in sweat, her legs trembling.
Their enemy, Asakura Miyuki, although her clothes were torn by the barrage of bullets and clay spiders, was not significantly injured.
Humans ultimately have their limits. With just the two of them, it was impossible to defeat a Pseudo-Herrscher.
Their efforts were merely to buy time until the Valkyrie forces arrived.
However, judging by the current situation, they probably wouldn't be able to wait any longer.
Asakura Miyuki manipulated dozens of thorns into a single mass, with deathly energy swirling and condensing upon it.
It then shot towards the two of them with incredible speed. All obstacles in its path were shattered and dissolved by this attack.
This was an attack that human power absolutely could not resist!
Seeing that the attack was unavoidable, Su Moqian and Kiana exchanged glances.
Death was before their eyes, yet there was no resentment in their pupils, only deep affection and tenderness for each other.
"Perhaps... dying together like this wouldn't be so bad."
Holding each other tightly, the two shared this thought simultaneously.
The terrifying attack was incredibly fast, mere inches away from them.
But just then, a piercing sound cut through the air. Two Yin-Yang swords descended rapidly, completely severing Asakura Miyuki's attack.
This was the Xuanyuan Sword: Wushuang!
Immediately after, a heroic woman landed gracefully, appearing instantly behind the Wushuang Sword. Her eyes, fixed on the Pseudo-Herrscher before her, blazed with fighting spirit.
"I'll take care of all of you before reinforcements arrive!"
Chapter 32: Son, you're seeing two girls at once?
Seeing the woman standing before him, Su Moqian was stunned for a moment before exclaiming in surprise:
"Mom?!"
It was unbelievable that this woman, wielding the Wushuang Sword and easily blocking the Pseudo-Herrscher's powerful strike, was his mother, Su Wuxian?
"Who?"
Kiana, who had slumped into Su Moqian's arms, also looked up, gazing at the heroic figure blocking their path.
At the same time, Bronya, who was slumped beside them, shifted her attention to her and immediately began cross-referencing her with data in her database.
A moment later, Bronya, having confirmed the woman's identity, exclaimed in shock:
"It's her?"
Su Wuxian was the former heir of the Shenzhou Wushuang Sect. Schicksal had previously classified her combat performance as an A-rank Valkyrie.
However, over ten years ago, she encountered an accident and disappeared along with the Wushuang Sect's ancestral Key of Domination, the Wushuang, in Shenzhou.
"So that's it, she came to the Far East?" Bronya's eyes showed a hint of contemplation.
After blocking the attack, Su Wuxian did not greet her son. Her attention remained entirely on the Pseudo-Herrscher before her.
"How dare you hurt my son? You've got some nerve."
Su Wuxian walked forward slowly. The two Wushuang Swords that had just pierced the ground rose swiftly, following her steps and floating automatically behind her.
As Su Wuxian approached, Asakura Miyuki shouted:
"Get lost!"
As she spoke, several more thorns shot out.
Seeing this, Su Wuxian remained unfazed, maintaining her leisurely posture.
Just as the thorns were about to reach her, the Wushuang Swords floating behind her activated instantly, severing all the vines.
Seemingly realizing that this type of attack was ineffective, Asakura Miyuki began to condense black and red energy spheres on her hands, resembling ghost fire.
These were not true flames, but highly active, unstable Honkai Energy twisted into the shape of fireballs!
Sensing the power contained within, Su Wuxian frowned slightly and dashed forward, pushing off the ground.
However, Asakura Miyuki's attack was faster. Three Honkai fireballs struck Su Wuxian with astonishing speed, exploding violently before they even touched her!
"BOOM!!!"
The powerful explosion was deafening. The surrounding walls shattered from the impact, kicking up a massive cloud of smoke.
Watching the smoke billow ahead, Su Moqian, holding Kiana, cried out in alarm:
"Mom!"
Just as Su Moqian's worry peaked, a "hummm" of sword resonance sounded. The smoke enveloping the area was instantly split in two, revealing Su Wuxian's true form.
Although her clothes were dusted, she was unharmed.
Seeing her attack thwarted once again, the yandere girl Asakura Miyuki grew even more agitated, shouting:
"Why? Why are you all stopping me?"
"You don't understand how deep my love is! I just want Moqian!"
Hearing Asakura Miyuki's hysterical outburst, Su Wuxian, who had been full of fighting spirit, froze.
She looked at the frenzied Asakura Miyuki, then turned to Su Moqian with a strange expression, asking with some difficulty:
"Son, you're seeing two girls at once?"
Hearing this, Su Moqian covered his face speechlessly and explained awkwardly:
"No, Mom, I only saved her once. Other than that, I've had no contact with her. I don't know why she's like this..."
At this very moment, Su Moqian finally understood the saying, "Heaven's justice is a cycle, and heaven spares no one."
He was now experiencing the same embarrassing treatment that Hayaki Mako had subjected his mother to earlier.
Upon hearing Su Moqian's explanation, Su Wuxian nodded thoughtfully.
"So that's how it is, a girl like that..."
Su Wuxian sighed, then looked at Asakura Miyuki and said softly, "Classmate, there's really no need for us to keep fighting. Perhaps we can resolve your issues if we sit down and talk?"
Despite Su Wuxian's gentle words, Asakura Miyuki couldn't hear anything at all at this moment.
Her expression grew increasingly frantic, and she roared, "Anyone who stands in my way... will die!"
Asakura Miyuki let out an angry roar, and a large amount of Honkai Energy erupted from her body, forming dozens of Honkai Will-o'-the-wisps that surged towards Su Wuxian.
Seeing this scene before him, Su Wuxian frowned slightly.
"Is this... possession?"
Asakura Miyuki's attack this time was incredibly fast. In the mere moment it took for him to speak, she had already surrounded Su Wuxian.
These dozens of Honkai Will-o'-the-wisps completely sealed off all her escape routes, leaving no room to dodge.
However, seeing this situation, Su Wuxian was not flustered at all. He slightly lowered his stance, took a deep breath, and slowly gathered True Qi in his hands.
Immediately, his hands, enveloped in True Qi, grasped the incoming Will-o'-the-wisps. He then drew a circle in front of him with his hands, controlling them.
What Su Wuxian was using this time was not simple Tai Chi's "sticking hands," but a fusion of "entangling silk force" and "drawing silk force," followed by the "like sealing, like closing" technique.
With his hands in a "ball-holding posture," Su Wuxian continuously used True Qi to envelop the opponent's Honkai Energy.
After sealing it in front of him, he reached out to receive and envelop more attacks.
