Victory Without Bloodshed! / The Eve of the Decisive Battle
Okay, although this has happened twice before, this time it has exceeded his tolerance! It was practically an instant kill! If it were targeting a person, it wouldn't give you any time to react! Your body would be sliced into countless pieces!
How can I not be scared?
Su Xiaoxiao nodded solemnly, "I think I sensed the aura of High-Rank Astral Mark Girl."
"High-Rank Astral Mark Girl? What is that?"
Liu Yinxuan had been Magical Girls for several years, but she had never even heard of the concept of "High Tier" magic. At most, she knew that there was a Trial-Level magic above the magic they used.
Tang Ling remembered that Tang Xiaohua had mentioned something similar to her before, but she had forgotten it.
Sigh~
Seeing that everyone looked like this, Su Xiaoxiao knew that she would have to explain it to these newbies again.
But after she finished speaking, everyone suddenly realized what she meant! As if waking from a dream!
Of course, it was precisely because they understood the situation that Tang Ling and the other Magical Girls were even more shocked.
According to their ranking system, they were all just Low Tier Magical Girls, arguably the weakest among the Destiny Engraver.
But they've already High Tier, according to the Astral Mark Executor's rank classification.
[Apprentice], [Origin Transformation], [Middle Tier], [High Tier], [Sacred Hall]
This isn't just a slight difference! It's a full three major realms apart!
What's the point of comparing?!
Bingtang Lingxin has advanced to the finals. In the next semi-final, Mo Liyuan and Ye Xiaoying will face off.
Mo Liyuan is Third-Tier Gene Lock expert, whose strength is comparable to that of the elders in the main hall. With her Dustless Swordsmanship, she can fight against even a typical Third-Tier Peak for no less than ten rounds.
The pressure from the Magical Girls Ye Xiaoying was immense; she really wasn't confident she could win. Besides, she didn't understand magic—how could she possibly fight?
They say you can win every battle if you know yourself and your enemy, but she doesn't even know what magic is!
It's so annoying!
Sure enough, once the two faced off, the entire arena was abuzz with anticipation for a spectacular battle!
Ye Xiaoying rubbed her sleepy eyes, and when she saw her next opponent, she felt a surge of joy.
Once you finish this one, there will be only one left. Then you can grab the champion's reward and run away!
Hey-hey...
Ye Xiaoying put her hands on her hips and laughed triumphantly, her little thoughts completely written on her face, leaving Mo Liyuan utterly bewildered.
According to the rules of the Dark Angel Alliance, each completed task will yield extremely generous rewards, the amount of which depends on the difficulty and level of the task.
Ye Xiaoying made a rough estimate in her mind: this mission was so important, it was at least an A-level mission! There was a huge bonus! An extra-long vacation! Huge subsidies! And also special services that would make you very comfortable!
Ye Xiaoying didn't know what it was either, but just hearing the name made her feel very comfortable!
"Whoosh!"
As she was pondering, a sharp sound suddenly rang out, and a silver throwing knife grazed her scalp, severing a few strands of hair in the process. Startled, Ye Xiaoying quickly covered her head and crouched down, then raised her head with a resentful expression.
"You... you... young man... uh... no, you shameless woman, how dare you ambush the noble Dark Angels! You will pay a heavy price for your actions!"
Ye Xiaoying shouted as she unleashed several magical fireballs.
Mo Liyuan dodged the attack with a few sideways movements, narrowly avoiding the danger. Ye Xiaoying, after all, was a mid-level Magical Girls, and could easily use lower-level magic.
Mo Liyuan had initially seized the initiative, launching a surprise attack the moment the token hit the ground, which should have given her a significant advantage.
But Ye Xiaoying was incredibly powerful, and she unleashed magic like it was free, bombarding Mo Liyuan one spell after another, making it impossible for Mo Liyuan to get close. In particular, she was also affected by the wide-range magical bombardment.
Several fireballs came hurtling towards them. Mo Liyuan's cold eyes narrowed, and she sliced them in half horizontally.
Taking advantage of this gap, she leaped up with Light Leap Technique, but Ye Xiaoying wasn't stupid enough to just stand by and watch the enemy run over and attack her.
Upon discovering Mo Liyuan's work, she quickly retreated, creating some distance, and chanted a spell to unleash a level-two lightning storm.
A large amount of lightning and magnetic field exploded in the area where Mo Liyuan was located, with a series of crackling sounds that made the onlookers' hearts jump!
"That's terrifying!"
"Magical Girls are too strong, is there really anyone who can beat them?"
"How come it's like you're using cheat codes? What are you doing playing ball?!"
"Don't panic! Miss Mo is still here!!"
When the dust settled, Mo Liyuan was nowhere to be seen in the area where the lightning storm had occurred.
Although Mo Liyuan avoided the strongest attack at the first moment, she was still grazed, and one of her clothes was completely torn, revealing a patch of snow-white skin.
A gash appeared on her arm, and bright red blood flowed down her arm, landing on the brocade like a crimson flower.
"Miss Mo is indeed injured!"
"Miss Mo, please give up. We understand!!"
Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Bloodless Victory!
Despite suffering minor injuries, Mo Liyuan's overall actions were not affected in any way.
With nimble and agile steps, she finally found an opportunity and, without Mo Liyuan, lined up the remaining seven throwing knives and launched them out!
Her reaction speed was extremely fast; the movement was swift and fluid, without the slightest pause, not even a second! She seized the exact moment of the smoke created by Ye Xiaoying's magic.
Seven throwing knives simultaneously shot through the smoke and dust towards Ye Xiaoying's location at extremely tricky angles, completely blocking all of Ye Xiaoying's possible escape routes and leaving her nowhere to hide!
This offensive requires extremely detailed planning and constant attention to changes in the battlefield environment; otherwise, it would be impossible to execute!
Witnessing this scene, just when everyone thought Mo Liyuan was about to win the match, something shocking happened.
Ye Xiaoying stood there without dodging or avoiding the flying knives. Instead of panicking, she looked disdainful when she saw them flying towards her!
He even put one hand on his hip, displaying extreme arrogance.
Then, with a casual wave of her hand, a purple shimmering screen suddenly appeared in front of her. The flying knives struck the screen directly, producing a series of crisp metallic clanging sounds before falling to the ground!
Magic shield!
Seeing this scene...
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines!
The word "magic" will be deeply imprinted in the hearts of these people from this day forward!
It could even turn into a nightmare!
Or perhaps it can be converted into faith!!
Invincible!!
Mo Liyuan wasn't too surprised to see the flying knife intercepted; she never underestimated any enemy.
Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit, let alone now that she is the rabbit!
She had already leaped forward when she unleashed those throwing knives; at this distance, she was confident that Ye Xiaoying's magic wouldn't hit her!
Ye Xiaoying remained calm and composed, but then she suddenly sensed something was wrong. Could there be some kind of ambush?!
Sure enough, the purple light curtain in front of Ye Xiaoying suddenly crashed into her the next second, and due to the close distance, Mo Liyuan herself couldn't dodge it!
With a horizontal slash, she directly withstood the attack.
However, she underestimated the strength of this protective shield. In just a few seconds, she was pushed more than ten meters away. Under the pressure of the powerful force, even the entire dojo was left with a long drag mark!
Until the very last moment, as the purple light barrier slowed its impact, Mo Liyuan seized the opportunity, adding a burst of energy to her sword blade and shattering it!
Instantly, the magical shield shattered and dissipated like glass!
At the same time, the sword in Mo Liyuan's hand also shattered!
Under immense pressure, the blade could not withstand the strain and broke in two, shattering on the ground!
The entire audience was terrified!
Utter silence!
The oppressive atmosphere is suffocating!
Mo Liyuan, the undisputed strongest among the younger generation in Chongming City, has lost?!
He was knocked out of the arena by a single spell!!
On this day, the pride and beliefs of those martial artists in Chongming City who considered themselves highly skilled seemed to be shattered under the powerful magic!
If no one can defeat her today, perhaps these people will be completely crushed by this!
After her defeat, Mo Liyuan immediately sheathed the broken longsword. Her expression remained unchanged, though she appeared somewhat tired.
After the match, although many people came forward to comfort and care for her, she did not respond. Her lonely and frail figure aroused the sympathy and pity of many people.
However, she felt no disappointment whatsoever. There are always higher realms to explore, and more capable people to meet. This world is even more wondrous than she had imagined.
Bingtang Lingxin's sudden surge of power was not without reason; she had considered other possibilities and, to some extent, had already guessed some of them.
It's probably related to the girl in the white dress who kidnapped her in the forest last time.
However, she wouldn't give up so easily. She planned to regroup and go back to cultivate diligently in seclusion! If she didn't break through, she would never leave her home again!
She hadn't practiced for a year, but she had picked up her sword again recently for the Martial Arts Tournament, so she was rusty!
"Ling Xin, did you see that? Even though you've become powerful now, that Magical Girls isn't someone to be trifled with. For your safety, perhaps..."
Nan Muya originally wanted to dissuade her again, but Bingtang Lingxin did not back down and was even eager to try, which gave Nan Muya a headache.
"It's alright. If I don't even have the courage to take up my sword and fight, then my path of cultivation can only end here."
That being said, and besides, Bingtang Lingxin has never fought Magical Girls before, so she was actually quite excited.
She had heard many rumors about Magical Girls from Ling Feng, but she had never seen one herself. Now that she had, it was time to hone her skills!
To put it another way
Just as Zhao Ping was gazing absently at Mo Liyuan, Ling Feng suddenly appeared behind him and placed his hand on his shoulder.
"Hehe, are you regretting it now? Your fiancée is so beautiful and outstanding, aren't you kicking yourself?"
Zhao Ping didn't seem to care much after hearing this, but instead remarked with a hint of unease, "So what if she's pretty? So what if she's outstanding? So what if she's rich? So what if she's skilled in martial arts? In the end, even after we've slept together, I still can't beat her, can I?"
"Damn, you're awesome!"
Ling Luoluo was leaning against Ling Feng, so she naturally heard what Ling Feng had just said.
"Brother, isn't Luo Luo pretty?" Ling Luoluo muttered, looking at Ling Feng with a pitiful expression.
Ling Feng was a little speechless. He reached out and patted her head. "Who said that? You're as pretty as your brother. Uh... no, Luo Luo is pretty too, so don't keep thinking about those things. Just be yourself."
Liu Yinxuan, who was standing nearby, had already recorded the exciting match on her phone and was planning to study it carefully when she got back!
Mo Liyuan's combat power has surpassed that of ordinary Astral Mark Girl. In addition, her ability to control the battlefield and her intelligence are such that if an ordinary Magical Girls or Astral Mark Girl were to face her, they would probably be torn to pieces!
This is an intellectual crushing defeat, unlike those naive and easily fooled young girls in school who are impulsive and rash.
While overwhelming superior strength allows you to disregard these considerations, the problem is that you can't even beat them.
Therefore, the weaker a creature is, the more meticulous it will be in its calculations, and the more cautious it will be in taking each step.
Fortunately, a kind older sister was willing to be their training partner, even though she was unaware of it, but that didn't matter.
I will continue to pursue this knowledge whenever I have free time outside of my studies!
Chapter 80 On the Eve of the Decisive Battle
It seems no one expected that the final match would be a duel between Bingtang Lingxin and the newly emerged dark horse.
Judging from the battle just now, Ye Xiaoying's strength is beyond the capabilities of the remaining young people.
Many people speculated that unless the patriarchs of the major families intervened, it would be virtually impossible to control her. Sending juniors to bully the younger generation would only appear as bullying the weak and would be shameful.
Fortunately, Bingtang Lingxin's earlier display of amazing strength offered some comfort to most people.
