Beat That Evil Witch to Death!
Considering that the two young ladies haven't eaten yet, it seems like a good idea to buy some food on the way and bring it over.
The back gate of Azure Sky University is a must-pass place for many students to eat, have late-night snacks, buy fruit and snacks, spend all night online, and shop at street stalls.
Many of the students coming and going are from nearby universities.
Ling Mengxue attracts a lot of attention wherever she goes.
Perhaps this is the trouble of being a beautiful woman? Being stared at all the time can make you feel a little uncomfortable.
She didn't pay much attention. As usual, she felt a little hungry and quietly bought herself a bowl of fried noodles with eggs.
But just then...
A sudden change occurred.
In the crowd, a woman dressed entirely in black robes, who looked to be around twenty years old, was holding a magic wand and staring at her without moving. Her attire resembled that of a cosplayer, which looked quite eerie.
But it was as if no one could see her; she seemed to have vanished!
The two people just stared at each other in the crowd, neither of them making the first move.
Ling Mengxue's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
She felt that the figure looked vaguely familiar, but she couldn't quite place it.
[Friendly reminder: High Tier Dark Girl clone has been detected!]
[Name: Phantom Clone]
[Affiliation: Dark Angel Alliance]
[Level: Intermediate Mage]
[Combat strength: Worth provoking]
[Description: A humanoid clone created by dark magic, possessing one-tenth of the original's strength, seemingly carrying a hint of doubt, wanting to verify something--]
(Note: Combat power here is judged based on the master's strength.)
"??"
"A clone? What's the purpose of this?"
Ling Mengxue was stunned for a moment, but in that instant, the magical clone suddenly raised its wand and rushed over like a madman, with a purple magic circle already appearing above its head!
"Holy crap! This is Student Street! Are you out of your mind?!"
Ling Mengxue was startled. Without the slightest hesitation, she immediately activated her Moonstar Blade and COP Steel Cannon, and took off running towards the street.
From a distance, only two afterimages could be seen weaving back and forth through the crowd!
Once they reached a less crowded area, the magical clone suddenly summoned dozens of giant Vampire Bat, causing screams from those around her, and she revealed her black-robed figure!
"Holy crap! There's a monster! Could this be the legendary Evil Witch?!"
"Run! This is the biggest bat I've ever seen! It's bigger than a chicken at the market!"
After a few gasps, many students and pedestrians realized that the bats didn't seem to be heading towards them, so they stopped running and began to curiously watch! (*??`)
"Batman, is that you?"
One of the bolder students, wearing a blue-themed school uniform, took out his phone and started taking pictures!
"Could those be the legendary Vampire Bat? This girl looks doomed!"
Keen-eyed observers immediately noticed that dozens of giant bats had formed a peculiar triangular formation and were fluttering towards a silver-haired girl in the square!
Just when everyone thought the girl would be torn to pieces in an instant and their hearts were in their throats, an unbelievable scene unfolded.
The girl turned around and swung her sword. A beam of blue light descended, and three or four bats were instantly shredded into pieces!
"Starbreak Trace!"
Ling Mengxue remained calm, holding the Moonstar Blade. With a slight teleportation, she appeared above the swarm of bats, her feet leaving only a blur in the void.
"Star-River Feathered Sword Shadows!"
In an instant, dozens of bright sword lights slashed down, instantly exploding into streaks of blood among the bats, staining a patch of sky red, and under the effect of the sword lights, a strange red and blue curtain was formed in the air!
As the celestial spectacle faded, all the Vampire Bat were slain, turning into puddles of bloody mud that fell to the ground.
Then a gentle breeze blew by, bringing with it a foul stench of blood, which even worsened the air quality.
The onlookers who witnessed the whole thing were completely dumbfounded, so shocked that they couldn't even speak, their words slurred.
"Wow, could this be the legendary fairy scattering flowers?"
"This is a female knight-errant! Look at her swordplay and knife skills! I feel like those martial arts masters in wuxia dramas are just child's play compared to this!"
"By the way... don't you guys think that little girl looks like the legendary Astral Mark Girl?"
"Huh?... This looks like it!"
Dozens of teenagers watched from afar, taking countless photos and videos to post on social media. They all looked delighted, as if they had witnessed something momentous, and were so excited that they disregarded their own safety.
Holy crap! Is this some kind of outrageous nonsense?
Why don't we run away when a monster comes? Is watching the show really that important?
Ling Mengxue's lips twitched slightly; she was speechless.
What kind of mentality is this?
"Not bad!" the magical clone uttered, then cast another spell, causing numerous poisonous thorns to burst forth from the ground!
Ling Mengxue didn't speak, but a hint of seriousness appeared in her eyes. She wasn't sure if she could defeat the Intermediate-Tier Magical Girl.
The 'Star-River Feathered Sword Shadows' she just used is actually High-Tier Astral Mark Sword Arts. With her current level, forcing her to use it would not be able to unleash more than 20% of its power, and it could only barely break through Middle Tier magic.
Furthermore, High Tier skills consume a very high amount of Star Source, so she can't use them more than a few times.
"Why don't we just use cheats?"
[img=486,300]htt [img=410,480]htt Chapter Sixteen: Kill That Evil Witch!
Ling Mengxue thought about it and decided against it.
What if we defeat this clone, and then the High Tier Dark Girl lurking in the shadows emerges?
Won't they wait for your cheat time to end before they come out?
As one of the most important means of self-preservation, it should not be used lightly!
After using her Origin Transformation level skill to cut off some vines, Ling Mengxue quickly swallowed the Star Source Pill she had in her mouth.
In an instant, the lost Star Source was replenished!
"I almost forgot, I'm the strongest support right now!"
She has more than enough Magic Spring, Star Source Pill, and Spirit-Gathering Pill; she doesn't actually lack 'mana' at all!
The Destiny Space also contains countless magical weapons, props, and all sorts of strange little gadgets.
With the added advantage of stacking her cultivation levels and attributes in magic, Star Engraving, and martial arts, a mere Intermediate Mage is no match for her!
Having clearly understood her own advantages, Ling Mengxue quickly calmed down, and a smile appeared on her lips.
She gripped the hilt of her sword, her body swayed, her steps shifted slightly, and she unleashed a slash in mid-air!
"Little Ling Xin's Version - Instant Shift Void-Reversal Slash - Falling Water Sword Art!"
In an instant, a visible storm of sword light condensed and slashed out!
Within the storm cyclone, endless clear blue sword light slashed incessantly at a rate of N cuts per second, resembling a meat grinder, sending chills down everyone's spines. The chaotic dance of sword light left everyone speechless and dumbfounded.
What the hell is that move?!
They actually treat sword skills as off-hand skills?!
Seeing this, the magical clone was slightly surprised, seemingly not expecting Ling Mengxue to have this trick up her sleeve.
The powerful storm of sword light swept in, invincible and unstoppable, its momentum like a rainbow. In just an instant, it swiftly and decisively cut down and shredded large swathes of the highly poisonous vines.
Soon, the magical clone regained its composure and calm, raised its magic staff, and countless ice spikes and lightning bolts bombarded it, covering the sword light and quickly suppressing the storm to the point of almost dissipating.
She then nodded, somewhat approvingly saying, "Very good swordsmanship, but your overall strength is still a bit lacking; you can't fully utilize it."
"Sparrow food." Ling Mengxue nodded in agreement, then smiled slyly, "But it's enough to deal with you."
This is Ling Xin's original High Tier Star Engraving skill. Its damage can be multiplied over time, making it one of the top High Tier skills. How could it be simple? (`へ?)
"Hmm?" The magical clone frowned, puzzled.
The sword light was already a flickering candle in the wind, with hardly any damage left. If a few more strikes had come, perhaps they could have posed some threat to her.
Finally, the blade storm slowed down, and just when everyone thought it was about to dissipate, a sudden change occurred.
Boom--!!
Suddenly, a deafening explosion rang out, and the spatial vortex that had been folded into countless layers shattered on the spot. The vortex exploded visibly, and the ripples that spread out encompassed the entire pedestrian street. Even though it only had less than 20% of the power it had in Chongming City, it was still something that ordinary people could not withstand!
Isn't that right?
The onlookers who were just watching from a short distance away were instantly scattered by the aftershocks of the air explosion.
Those in better condition retreated four or five meters, while those with weaker mental fortitude were even so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.
A young man, knocked down by the shockwave, shook his head, stood up, and exclaimed in a daze, "Was that a nuclear bomb?! The whole street was blown up!"
"No way, no way. This is still at the street corner, there aren't many people here. At most, they're just scared. If it had been blown up in the Student Street, the nearby hospitals would probably be overflowing tonight!"
"Is this really that cruel? Holy crap, your dam!"
"..."
A group of people were discussing amongst themselves, and a hint of fear appeared in their eyes as they looked at the two people in the center of the battlefield.
Is this a battle between humans?
Are Magical Girls really that terrifying?
Aren't all the characters in cartoons pretty and cute?
They are very pretty, that's true, but they're not cute at all!
"Waaaaah~ Mommy, I want to go home!"
"Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, I'm so sorry, I might not be able to come back!"
"Why go back? You're not allowed to go back!"
Amid exclamations of surprise, many students had already recovered, their spirits high and their eyes resolute, as if they were warriors preparing to rush to the battlefield.
A group of girls dusted off their skirts and stood up. Their eyes were glistening with tears, but each one bit her red lips tightly, looking determined not to give in. "White-haired Miss, let's beat that evil witch!!"
A sharp shout startled many people on the street, but they quickly recovered and began to shout as well.
"Go, little sister! Kill that dark witch! She's definitely no good!"
"Exactly! It's completely black and releases such terrifying Vampire Bat, it must be a monster!"
Click--!!
Click--!!
In an instant, there was a flurry of camera flashes and exclamations, and some people even started live streaming!
One of the young men, who had just arrived at the scene after hearing the commotion, was wearing a beige delivery uniform. He got out of the car, decisively took off his coat to reveal a black suit underneath, and quickly set up his recording equipment.
"Hello everyone! This is Mango TV Radio Live! I'm your host again, 'Chen Liang'!! I'm currently on the Student Street behind Azure Sky University in Linzhou City!"
"As we can see from the footage, an Astral Mark Girl is currently battling an evil black-robed witch. Everyone can clearly see that the witch's dark magic is extremely powerful! Miss White Hair is already struggling to keep up, and her situation is extremely critical!"
Chen Liang turned the screen slightly towards his face, then put on a stern expression!
"Please, everyone, lend your light to that little girl! Let us all stand together to uphold justice!"
"..."
In a very short time, the number of viewers in the live stream exceeded 200,000!
People are particularly sensitive to live streams about the supernatural and magical, since these things are rare and hard to come by. If you can control a live stream, you have a chance to become an overnight sensation!
