Open Fire!

Su Bai quickly tapped open the [Star App] on his backup phone.

Incidentally, this was the organizational software of a tech-savvy magical girl.

He directly mentioned Mint in the group chat.

"Mint, hack into the surrounding surveillance of Tianhai Savings Bank and feed me the live footage of the third underground floor."

Xia Ning's reply in the group was extremely fast.

"Big Sis, give me ten seconds!"

"I've already hacked into the bank's security backend, and the footage is syncing over to you right now!"

The screen flickered slightly, and high-definition footage projected onto the phone screen.

Kabi floated beside Su Bai's shoulder, its short hands clutching its forehead.

"Master, this bunch of guys is very professionally equipped!"

Su Bai's gaze landed on the video footage.

The vault hall on the third underground floor was already completely controlled by a dozen heavily armed men in black.

Those men wore uniform white-bone-fang masks, with twisted black snake emblems embroidered on their chests.

"Abyssal Calamity Brotherhood."

Su Bai recognized that symbol.

This was a gang of desperate outlaws active on the fringes of the black market, specializing in dirty work like murder and looting.

Kabi extended its little short hands and pointed around on the screen.

"The leader wearing the gold-rimmed mask has a magic power scale of fifteen hundred!"

"That's equivalent to a three-star Star Mark level demon hunter!"

"The rest of the small fry have magic power all between six hundred and a thousand, all of them outlaws from the Germination Stage to the Star Mark level!"

Inside the video footage, this group of outlaws did not even spare a second glance at the cash scattered all over the ground.

Ordinary banknotes were nothing more than waste paper in the supernatural world.

They pushed two heavy abyssal energy laser cutters, setting them up directly in front of the number one special-grade vault door in the deepest section.

That door was cast from thirty-centimeter-thick superconducting alloy, with triple explosion-proof array runes engraved on the interior.

Yet under the continuous scorching of the high-frequency laser, the alloy door panel was melting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The array rune structure was peeled away bit by bit.

Supreme Spirit-Breath Origin Stone deposited there by various major chambers of commerce in Tianhai City was stored in that place.

The astronomical assets and abyssal cores that Su Bai had just deposited were likewise stored in that area.

Daring to touch the money I worked so hard to earn...

You all deserve to die!

A murderous aura surged in the depths of Su Bai's eyes.

In the corner of the screen, a dozen civilians and bank employees squatted with their heads in their hands against the blast-proof wall.

Lin Guoguo wore that oversized, wash-whitened hoodie, her entire person curled up in the innermost part of the crowd.

Her face was ashen, her hands hugged her knees, and her body trembled slightly in a way she could not suppress.

To hide the identity of the magical girl Cherry, she had not carried her exclusive short magic wand.

In her untransformed state, she was merely an ordinary girl with slightly better physical fitness.

Two thugs wielding black abyssal energy submachine guns held their muzzle steady, stepping toward the crowd in the corner one step at a time.

The blue array runes on the gun barrels glowed faintly, in an overload state ready to be triggered at any moment.

"Boss, these few people secretly pressed the alarm button just now."

The armed thug on the left turned his head to report to the leader in the center.

"Leaving them behind is just dead weight anyway, should we just finish them all off?"

The leader wearing the gold-rimmed mask did not even turn his head, still staring at the melting vault door.

"Clean them up, leave no survivors."

"By the way, give those trash from the Monster Hunting Bureau a little warning so they know the consequences of meddling in other people's business."

The leader's voice was harsh and grating.

A few middle-aged businessmen and employees were frightened into crying out loud.

"Please, don't shoot! Take all the money!"

"I still have a wife and kids at home!"

"Shut up, or I'll carve you up first if you make another sound!"

A thug backhanded a heavy blow with his rifle butt against the top of a businessman's head, and fresh blood immediately streamed down his forehead.

Lin Guoguo had nowhere else to retreat, her back pressed tightly against the cold alloy wall.

She stealthily felt for the star-shaped communicator in her pocket, tears welling up in her eye sockets.

Big Sis... Cherry is about to hold on no longer...

She sent out a faint cry for help deep in her heart.

Room 703, Xingfuli Apartment.

Su Bai turned off his phone screen and casually shoved the phone into his pocket.

Kabi turned three consecutive somersaults in mid-air out of anxiety.

"Master, your magic power hasn't fully recovered to maximum yet!"

"You just used up too much magic power at the Golden Cemetery in the West District!"

Su Bai ignored the sprite's dissuasion.

He strode over to the balcony window and shoved the window open.

The night wind poured into the room, blowing the stray hair across his forehead.

Messing with my money, and now trying to mess with my people.

Regardless of what Brotherhood it is, whoever comes today has to die.

Su Bai no longer suppressed the magic power within his body.

Purplish-gold light erupted with a crash.

Incantations flashed past his lips and teeth at high speed.

Light enveloped his physique.

In the blink of an eye, the dark golden great scythe landed in Ziwei's hand, carving out a dazzling afterimage.

The lace long dress and purplish-gold long hair danced wildly in the night wind.

Ziwei shattered the railing at the edge of the balcony beneath her feet, her entire person breaking free from gravitational restraint.

She transformed into an eye-piercing purplish-gold stream of light, tearing through the night sky and sweeping straight toward Tianhai Savings Bank.

Tianhai Savings Bank, the third underground floor vault.

The air was filled with the pungent, scorching stench of melting metal.

The two laser cutters emitted a sharp buzzing sound, and the door of the special-grade vault had already been cut open by more than half.

The leader wearing the gold-rimmed mask lowered his head to glance at his wristwatch.

"Two minutes left."

"Hurry up, load all the origin stones and high-tier cores inside into the storage boxes!"

"The Monster Hunting Bureau agents outside are a bunch of good-for-nothing trash; they haven't even breached the first defensive door by now."

The leader let out a mocking sneer.

"By the time they charge in, we'll have long since evacuated through the underground sewage pipes carrying the stuff."

The two thugs standing in the corner raised their abyssal energy submachine guns, the pitch-black muzzles aiming directly at Lin Guoguo and the businessmen on the ground.

"Little girl, blame your bad luck for turning up here today of all days."

The thugs grinned hideously and pulled the triggers.

"Go draw a good lot in your next life!"

Scorching blue energy bullets spewed from the chambers, charging straight for Lin Guoguo's face with a piercing sound of breaking air!

Lin Guoguo despairingly closed her eyes and hugged her head with both hands.

At the exact same instant the bullets were about to hit!

Boom--!

The specially thickened alloy vault dome above the treasury emitted a deafening, shattering explosion.

The full three-meter-thick defensive layer was trampled straight through by an overbearing and violent immense force, just like thin paper.

Countless shattered stones and snapped steel bars dragged violent air currents downward as they smashed.

A dazzling purplish-gold beam of light pierced vertically downward from the breach!

Clang!

The blue energy bullets that fired out crashed against the blade face of a dark golden scythe.

The energy bullets were instantly deflected by the hard blade surface, plunging deeply into the concrete floor nearby and blowing out a charred little crater the size of a bowl.

Smoke, dust, and shattered stones splashed and scattered in all directions.

All the thugs were forced back several steps by this heavy landing air current.

A brief, dead silence fell inside the vault.

Lin Guoguo trembled as she opened her eyes.

A tall figure draped in purplish-gold magical armor stood steadily before her.

Her purplish-gold long hair draped down to her waist, and her dark golden great scythe pointed obliquely at the ground, exuding a heart-palpitating sense of oppression.

The fear in Lin Guoguo's eyes vanished like mist upon seeing that back, transforming into endless fervor.

"Bi... Big Sis!"

She cried out with a sobbing tone.

Ziwei turned her head slightly, her cold and languid mature-woman voice echoing in the hall.

"Step back, don't stain your clothes."

The armed thugs had their thumbs numbed by the shock, staring in doubt and suspicion at the suddenly appearing woman.

"What kind of person?!"

"Playing God with disguises, you're courting death!"

The leader wearing the gold-rimmed mask had a gloomy gaze, having recognized the bizarre attire on Ziwei's body.

He recalled the rumors that had been creating an immense uproar on the internet recently.

"So it's you, this half-human, half-ghost magical stinky girl!"

The leader spat disdainfully, his tone filled with viciousness.

"Who the hell cares about your magical girl!"

He violently raised his hand and roared sternly at his dozen fully armed subordinates across the entire area.

"Now! My gun is faster! Switch to armor-piercing burst rounds, and blast her into minced meat for me!"

"Open fire!"

A dozen heavy abyssal energy firearms were primed simultaneously, and dense tongues of fire swept toward the tall figure in the center!
