The Witch Association Speedrun Contest Begins Now (5,000

Jiangming City, in a factory where work is in full swing.

Ruoyun sat next to a welding machine in the workshop, looking at the brass knuckles that were completely unrecognizable, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Almost done.

For Ruoyun, forging the knuckle duster was not a difficult task.

To add a touch of technical sophistication, she added even more to the brass knuckles.

For example, a tiny spike, a hook, a little poison, or modifying the structure of the middle finger so that the knuckles can also fire bullets.

In addition to gunpowder bullets, there are also flashbangs and smoke grenades.

Ruoyun thought that since it was a weapon, it must have bullets, right?

What kind of weapon is it without bullets?

In fact, she modified the wands of all of Jiangming City Azure Cloud Sect, so that they could all fire magic bullets.

Unfortunately, nobody likes to use it; they feel it's not magical girl enough.

Does wielding a magic wand and hacking people away make you a magical girl...?

It's clear that Ms. Bai Mei is the least magical girl among them.

Of course, in most cases, Ms. Bai Mei is the role model for magical girls.

Ruoyun really likes Teacher Bai Mei.

Even with such power, he acknowledged the importance of the gun and always said that he would incorporate it into his swordsmanship training.

Ruoyun actually felt that using firearms wasn't quite enough for a swordsman...

But as long as the teacher likes it, that's fine.

Teacher Bai Mei was her most admired role model, her savior, and not only a teacher, but also an elder and a relative.

In fact, Ruoyun often unconsciously mistook Teacher Bai Mei for her own mother...

"Miss Ruoyun, Miss Ruoyun! We're doomed..."

A mournful-looking Flower Fox came running from a distance carrying a pile of documents.

Then he fell flat on his face.

That's incredibly stupid.

Despite being a member of the Witch Association, Flower Fox's control over Filthy Magic Power is appallingly poor.

According to her own account, she was able to establish herself in the Witch Association because of her exceptional business acumen.

Ruoyun sighed, picked up the pistol beside her, and fired a shot at Flower Fox. The documents that had fallen to the ground were quickly sucked up.

She likes to modify all her tools into guns.

However, she wasn't very satisfied with the design of this Beretta 92F. It had been made in a rush, and the trigger and magazine were not very refined; they were too rough and she just couldn't stand the look of it.

Without aesthetic appeal and artistry, it cannot be used as a weapon; it can only be used as a prop for amusement.

I picked up the document and glanced at it. "An acquisition proposal from Ice-Colored Era Group?"

Flower Fox got up, brushing the dirt off herself, and said with a mournful face, "Yes, originally their group's young lady personally said she wanted to discuss cooperation or something, but suddenly she wanted to acquire us. We barely managed to escape the Jiangming City Disaster Countermeasures Bureau and Conquest's purge, but I never expected, I never expected Ice-Colored Era Company to make a move, sob sob sob..."

No wonder Flower Fox cried so sadly.

Because she is facing a life-threatening crisis once both companies are acquired.

She is no longer qualified to remain in the Holy Church!

First Sage and the Azure Cloud Sect joined forces, all the members of the Witch Association were killed one by one, and even Chilian couldn't escape.

She survived because she, Flower Fox, was good at making money.

I still remember that purple girl, who looked like the Death God, grabbed her. Her terrifying strength and killing intent almost made Flower Fox wet her pants.

She pleaded for mercy in many ways, and in fact, she wasn't lying. For example, she didn't do most of the evil deeds of the Witch Association; the things that harmed people were done by others, and she was just honestly doing business activities.

Although they used some unsavory methods, they never actually killed anyone; at most, they caused others to go bankrupt.

She admits her guilt, but it doesn't warrant the death penalty.

But the Holy Church Walker had no intention of letting her go no matter what she said. It wasn't until Flower Fox said that she had business experience and shares in several companies of the Witch Association, and could help her make money, that she finally spared her life.

Therefore, for Flower Fox, these companies are not just ordinary companies, and the money they earn is not ordinary money either.

It's my own life!

She didn't even have the courage to think about what that Holy Church Walker would do if Jiangming City's own company disappeared.

Upon thinking of this, Flower Fox cried even harder.

Annoyed, Ruoyun grabbed the water gun next to her and sprayed the crying Flower Fox with its mouth agape. "Shut up! You're so noisy!"

The Flower Fox, choked, shut its mouth.

Ruoyun was never a very good-tempered person. She would only restrain herself with acquaintances or opponents she couldn't beat. With strangers, especially people she disliked, Ruoyun was always very irritable.

Flower Fox happens to fall right into the category of things she dislikes.

Regardless of her reasons, Ruoyun hated the fact that she worked for the Witch Association, and she was only kept on because the Holy Church needed her to run the company.

If this company truly disappears, Ruoyun will immediately eliminate this useless remnant of the Witch Association at the mere command of the Holy Church Walker.

"Ice-Colored Era Group, which company is it?"

Faced with Ruoyun's question, Flower Fox honestly replied, "They are the largest company in BH City, with a wide range of main businesses. The condiments, food, and daily necessities we usually buy in supermarkets all have their products. They have several complete industrial lines in East China, are a Fortune Global 500 company, and are also a real estate giant in Beihai. They are Jiangming's main partner in this reconstruction project."

Why the sudden offer to acquire us?

"I don't know. Suddenly they said they're very optimistic about our prospects and want to acquire us and grow together with us. The board of directors is very supportive. After all, it's a big industry, so it's like we've found a powerful backer..."

Ruoyun, holding the gun, scratched her temple with the muzzle. "What impact will it have?"

"From now on, we won't have control of the company anymore," Flower Fox whispered. "It won't be considered a property of the Holy Church anymore."

"Won't you get the money?"

"That's not necessarily the case. If we're acquired by the Ice-Colored Era Group, we'll receive a significant investment. Plus, Jiangming is currently in a rebuilding phase. If we can seize the opportunity, we can double our scale! Then we'll have even more operating funds..."

Ruoyun looked puzzled. "Isn't that a good thing?"

The problem is, the problem is...

Flower Fox whispered, "In that case, the company nominally belongs to the Ice-Colored Era Group, not our Holy Church..."

What does it matter?

"Chilian said that without its own industries, it can't be considered a large organization. Our Holy Church is a large organization, and what if I get eliminated?..."

"... I don't care if you die."

Ruoyun waved her hand and casually tossed the file back. "What big organization? We don't need it. Our only goal is to make money. The Holy Church Walker said our current mission is to get more money and then exchange it for points. I need points to exchange for the forging method of the Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon."

"But..."

"If you feel this is inappropriate, you can ask the Holy Church Walker yourself."

The Flower Fox finally calmed down.

Ruoyun looked up and glanced at the workshops surrounding the factory.

Countless weapons are being produced.

Not far away, there were rows of ordinary security guards or guards who used to be loyal to the Witch Association, but now, due to the purge by the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, they could only hide here and work.

Ruoyun knew that the Holy Church was short-staffed.

Neither she nor Flower Fox had the ability to find those magical girls and witches to invite them to join the Holy Church.

but.

"Holy Church Member! Step forward!"

At the command, the combatants, carrying rows of guns and weapons, marched into the factory in an orderly and solemn manner.

Ruoyun smiled with satisfaction.

Although there are relatively few extraordinary beings in the Holy Church, it doesn't matter.

Ordinary combatants, equipped with her weapons, can also participate in the battles of the Magical Girls and Witch Association!

She even created magical weapons; if used properly, these ordinary combat personnel could also eliminate the Calamity Beast!

"I need more funds to expand the ranks of the Holy Church Member."

Flower Fox was stunned. "You've spent too much money, Miss Ruoyun. The Holy Church Walker Attendant will be angry..."

"This is for the future of the Holy Church!"

Ruoyun said confidently, "The greater our power, the more money we can earn in the future! The Holy Church Walker Attendant will surely understand."

"In the future, the name of the Holy Church will resound throughout the world!"

The Shuangsheng only caught a glimpse of Lord Bingtang from afar in the Beihai before running away.

It wasn't that she didn't like to act cute with Lord Bingtang; it was simply that she was a little worried about what would happen after she went there.

They would become so immersed in Lord Bingtang Tang's gentleness that they would turn into a useless little thing who could only crawl around on the ground without Lord Bingtang.

For a witch, it's difficult to exert her full strength once she becomes weak, as was the case when she ran away from the Azure Cloud Sect.

At one point, they couldn't even utilize the ability to copy.

Therefore, it's best not to get too close to Lord Bingtang just yet.

For a witch, those beautiful, gentle emotions are the most deadly poison.

Only by immersing myself in filth can I help Lord Bingtang.

Go Shuangsheng! You're the best! Tell Lord Bingtang your little secrets later.

Lord Bingtang Tang will definitely be moved to tears, then hug himself tightly, rub her head, and praise her for doing a great job Shuangsheng!

Just imagining that scene made the Shuangsheng unable to stop giggling.

But she quickly regained her composure.

Now is not the time to waste time daydreaming.

She sat in the park and took out a nearly withered vine from her pocket.

There was also a dead Gu worm from Chilian.

He cut open his own skin, and thick, Filthy Magic Power blood dripped onto the vines and worms, which gradually regained their vitality.

This is not resurrection, of course.

This skill, which she copied from a certain magical girl, actually awakens memories residing within living beings.

The Gu worms and vines retain the captain's and Chilian's most complete and pure memories, so they are not difficult to use.

There's no need to specifically eliminate unnecessary and cluttered memories.

Soon, the vines transformed into the long-unseen little captain figure.

After a moment of confusion, he slowly said, "I remember now... I'm not Calamity Beast, I am... I am..."

"I'm the captain!"

As was his habit, he patted the captain's head and praised Shuangsheng for his quick reflexes.

However, the Gu worms beside it failed to transform into the form of the Chilian.

"Huh? Why isn't the baby coming out? Stillborn?" The Shuangsheng thought they had misjudged the situation, and after poking it, they suddenly heard Chilian shout angrily.

"What are you doing! Don't touch me!"

They exchanged a glance and then both chuckled simultaneously.

"Hey, isn't this our great Jiangming City leader Chilian?"

The captain said sarcastically, "Looks like you've already taken care of the Azure Cloud Sect and are currently experiencing life inside the parasitic Gu worms, huh? That was fast! You took care of the Azure Cloud Sect in less than three days. I, the captain, hereby declare you the strongest!"

"Oh dear, Captain, you're underestimating Chilian too much," the Shuangsheng said with a grin. "Chilian Lian is unparalleled in the world; she took him down in just three hours!"

"Wow, that's amazing! Who else but you could be in charge of East China from now on!"

The captain, his face contorted with grief, cried out, "We only lasted three years before we were taken down, Shuangsheng! You should know what shame is!"

"Waaaaah, Captain, I'm sorry, Shuangsheng are useless... Even though you're a good-for-nothing too, Captain, it's still Shuangsheng' fault for being useless, waaaaah..."

I'm in a good mood today, so I won't hold it against you.

Although the Gu worm didn't speak, the Shuangsheng could feel it heating up.

It's become famous.

After a long pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "You schemed against me!"

"Hey, you can't just say things like that. What do you mean by 'scheming'?" The captain immediately sneered. "We've already warned you. The Azure Cloud Sect is very powerful. Even I only lasted three years. But you were far inferior to me before. It's good that you could last three days."

"It's not three days, it's three hours and three minutes," the Shuangsheng immediately corrected. "I was keeping track of the time the whole time. It didn't take three days. Even if you include the time spent traveling and finding people, it's actually only two days round trip."

"Tsk, look at you, how can you be so sharp-tongued? Chilian is, after all, the head of the Great Witch Association in a big city."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Shuangsheng are so stupid, they actually blurted out the truth..."

"Enough!" The Gu worm was almost completely red and began to smoke. "That's enough! You said you've held out for three years, but the Azure Cloud Sect has only been active for three years. You were able to hold out for three years because the Azure Cloud Sect hadn't developed yet, and you've already gotten cocky! If it were me, I wouldn't have let the Azure Cloud Sect develop!"

The captain said ominously, "You won't let the Azure Cloud Sect develop? Instead of going to South China to pick up the Grief Seed of two Complete Witch and steal their abilities, you're still a stray dog on the roadside? What makes you think you can prevent them from developing? Do you want me to calculate how long you spent in South China back then?"

"Even if we take away the development time of the Azure Cloud Sect, they Witch Association of Beihai until the second year. Under the full-scale encirclement and suppression of the Azure Cloud Sect, I led the main force to a victorious retreat, expanding the organization's scale Beihai, constantly sowing discord between the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau and the Azure Cloud Sect, and even infiltrating spies to incite members of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau to betray them, inflicting heavy losses on both the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau and the Azure Cloud Sect at the same time!"

"This is the achievement I made after the Azure Cloud Sect had already fully developed. In the end, I almost took over the entire city of Beihai. I planned for five years, and after a year of battle, I fought the Azure Cloud Sect at the summit of Beihai. I was defeated by a single move. You, Jiangming, were defeated by the Azure Cloud Sect's defeated dogs in three hours. You couldn't put any pressure on me, yet you dare to bark and howl in front of me!"

The captain declared firmly, "You're still a long way from beating me! Rookie!"

The Shuangsheng beside him clapped enthusiastically, "Captain, you're awesome!!"

The captain blew a breath, flicked his hair, and said with a hint of arrogance, "Azure Cloud Sect prisoners, step forward!"

The Shuangsheng, holding the shriveled-up Gu worm, stepped forward.

Then, turning to look at the captain, she suddenly whispered, "Ah, no, Captain, aren't we prisoners of war too?"

So the captain also took a step forward.

The Shuangsheng obediently took a step forward.

"What exactly do you want?!"

Hearing Chilian's somewhat frantic questioning, the Shuangsheng chuckled, "Isn't it because you lost so badly? As colleagues, we have to get revenge! Let's find the Witch Association in the next city, vent our anger, and avenge the Azure Cloud Sect!"

"Are you serious?" Chilian couldn't help but ask, "What city's Witch Association possibly handle the Azure Cloud Sect?"

Hearing Chilian's words, the captain snorted again, "As expected of a stray dog, even your spine has been broken! My Witch Association Society is full of talented people, surely one of us can deal with the Azure Cloud Sect. If you don't even have this much confidence, why did you join the Witch Society!"

"And," the Shuangsheng whispered, "That speedrun in three hours is just too embarrassing. Everyone in the Witch Association is laughing at you now. Chilian clearly consumed so many resources, and they were all gone in three hours."

"Who was it? Who's so bored as to leak the news that I got speedrunned in three hours!"

"Shuangsheng were just giving a report to everyone in the Witch Association," Shuangsheng chuckled. "Lord Chilian, you Witch Association guilds in Jiangming back then, right? The captain and I are planning to find a more powerful Witch Association to help us get revenge, and while we're at it, we'll avenge you too. How thoughtful of us, right?"

"Dream on! They're all my comrades, my colleagues!" Chilian said coldly. "I'm not one of you; I would never betray my own comrades!"

The Shuangsheng looked distressed. "Captain, look at her!"

The captain snorted coldly, "You're truly pathetic to consider those who secretly mock and ridicule you as colleagues and comrades."

"I'm stronger than you." Chilian's attitude hardened as well. "I would never betray my comrades!"

"We're doomed," the Shuangsheng whispered. "What do we do now, Captain?"

"Waste."

The captain glanced at her and then asked, "Chilian, are you just going to admit defeat so easily?"

"It's precisely because I refuse to admit defeat that I won't betray my teammates."

"Heh, self-deception!"

The captain shouted sternly from the side, "Are you the only dead man who thinks you haven't lost? Who in this world doesn't think you've lost? You were speedrun in three hours! Which member of the Witch Association isn't arrogant? You call them colleagues and comrades? Ask them if they'd consider a speedrunner like you a colleague or comrade!"

Chilian was stunned.

"The Witch Association members should dare to unsheathe their swords against the enemy! Do they even know they're afraid of the Azure Cloud Sect? Aren't they just eager to destroy the Azure Cloud Sect and gain merit? Your self-pity here is a complete joke to them!"

The captain said in a deep voice, "Recommend a powerful Witch Association for us. If you win, the Azure Cloud Sect will be wiped out, and your shameful record will be wiped clean! If you lose, as long as your speedrun time is less than three hours, you won't be the most disgraced one. Either way, you can win! A win-win situation! Win twice! Don't you want to win?"

Chilian, who was still hesitant, was somewhat swayed by her captain's persuasive words. "Really, is there anyone weaker than me?"

"Don't worry, the Azure Cloud Sect will be able to clear out the Witch Association faster and faster," Shuangsheng immediately said. "The Azure Cloud Sect will become stronger and stronger. If you're not strong enough, two hours—no, I'll customize one for you! I'll take it down for you within one hour and twenty-two minutes! Then Shuangsheng will definitely give you a lot of publicity! Let everyone forget that you were speedrun in three hours!"

The captain added, "Of course, if you don't want to, that's fine too. After all, this way you'll be remembered in the Witch Association, forever etched in history. You'll be considered a celebrity, right? Hahaha..."

Chilian roared, "Who wants to be a celebrity?!"

Then he immediately said, "I know a city not far from Beihai. He's been preparing for twenty years! He definitely has a chance to wipe out the Azure Cloud Sect. This isn't betrayal! I'm just giving him a chance to make a name for himself!"

"That's right, that's right!"

The Shuangsheng nodded repeatedly, then turned around and gave the captain a high five.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"We can't lose at all!"
