He is the strongest opponent that Qiji has ever encountered!
A fierce battle is inevitable!
Upon hearing Qiji's words, Liuli immediately snapped out of her shock.
She knew that Caixia continued to stay here, and she continued to stay here, they would only hold Qiji Sakuya back.
Without hesitation, she made a quick decision, activated her Armament, and, carrying Caixia, desperately rushed towards the alleyway entrance.
"Hmph! Trying to escape?!"
Kamishiro Chiho naturally wouldn't stand idly by and watch this happen. She immediately raised her hand, trying to activate the Echo to stop the two of them.
"Sorry, now your opponent is me."
Qiji took a step to the side, blocking Kamishiro Chiho's path.
With the disparity in strength evident, Qiji dared not be careless.
Without saying a word, he crushed the already mirrored [Thousand Faces] with a single hand.
In an instant, thousands of mirror fragments refracted a dazzling light under the sunlight.
then--
[Lightning Instant Bloom]!
The buzzing of a thousand birds and the sound of the mirror shattering were almost simultaneous.
Electric crackling patterns appeared on Qiji's mask, and he was instantly enveloped in lightning.
Then, with a swift movement of his feet, he passed through the countless fragments of mirror!
He wielded lightning and unleashed a devastating strike!
The instant [Lightning Instant Bloom] struck towards Kamishiro Chiho, [Person in the Mirror]'s Armament was also donned at the same moment!
Undoubtedly, this [Lightning Instant Bloom] benefited from the Armament stats provided by the armor set!
This is the strongest attack that Qiji can unleash under normal circumstances!!!
The Qiji Armament is bestowed by the five-star card, requiring no circuit construction or materialization of imagery.
Therefore, his pre-animation time is extremely short.
However, Kamishiro Chiho's speed in deploying her Armament was no less than his, and perhaps even faster!
Is this a fourth-order Echoer?
As soon as Qiji struck with [Lightning Instant Bloom], a large number of spider webs suddenly appeared in front of Kamishiro Chiho.
The lightning was instantly absorbed and dissipated by the spider silk, and then the spider silk suddenly enveloped Kamishiro Chiho.
The next second, the sound of clothes tearing came from Kamishiro Chiho's body.
The spider silk, wriggling as if alive, replaced her original dress and clung tightly to her body.
Then, with a "whoosh" sound!
Eight spider spears stabbed out menacingly from behind her.
The Imagery Armor, was completed in an instant!
But this isn't the end!
Immediately afterwards, a translucent outer garment composed of milky-white Heart Essence surged out from her body!
It spreads rapidly and flows continuously, as if it were alive!
It looked like a layer of blazing liquid flames, magnificently covering the surface of the armor!
Armament, Phase Two —
Fully unfolded!!!
Chapter 95 Equivalent Wish! The Way to Win! (3-in-1, 6450 words)
As soon as Qiji started fighting, he unleashed his Armament and delivered that lightning-streaked super move, and the chat exploded with excitement:
"Holy crap! This is Hajiqi's Armament? When did he learn it?"
"Of course we had it all along, it's just that the opponents we encountered before were all trash like Suyo, not worth using at all."
"That Prisoner Ji Armament looks kind of cool!"
"Indeed, judging solely by looks, she's second only to Lao Yue among the current crop, right?"
"I think he's even cooler than the God of the Moon Scroll! The one with the Lao Yue is too effeminate; Hajiqi!"
"By the way, it's somewhat like a high-level version of the Suyo ' Armament, don't you think?"
"This is the first time I've seen Prisoner Ji go all out right from the start. It's hilarious. Looks like he's really Prisoner Ji now that he saw Liuli crying."
Seeing that Qiji was using all his strength, the viewers in the live chat thought that what followed would be a quick kill, followed by the much-anticipated banter and boasting.
After all, Qiji even used his Armament, didn't he?
As we all know, in anime series, when a character's new skill or new form makes its first appearance, there is a "newbie protection period," during which they are guaranteed to show off their awesomeness.
However, the next moment, something unexpected happened!
Suddenly, a large clump of spider silk appeared in front of Kamishiro Chiho!
Then, with almost no effort, Qiji's strongest attack, [Instant Bloom], which involved activating his Armament, was easily neutralized by his opponent...
The lightning entered it, but was completely absorbed as if it were a clay ox sinking into the sea.
Seeing this scene, the live chat exploded with activity:
"???"
What's going on?
"What happened?!"
After all, they were used to Qiji's crushing and invincible nature.
They even vaguely forgot that Qiji was currently just a first-year student at the Echo Academy.
The next moment, as Kamishiro Chiho donned her Armament, the production team, seemingly to help the audience better and more intuitively understand the battle situation, suddenly displayed several lines of cold, artistic lettering!
—[Kamishiro Chiho! Rank 4!]
--["Spider-type" second stage Armament fully deployed!!!]
—[Without a doubt! She is the strongest opponent Qiji has ever faced!]
—[Even with all our might, we cannot defeat them!]
—[Is this the end of Qiji's undefeated streak?]
Seeing this, the audience seemed to finally understand why Qiji had to unleash her ultimate move right from the start.
"Holy crap, no way, is our first defeat really coming?"
Is it really going to become Prisoner Ji?
"No! Keep winning, Hajiqi!!"
"Hahaha, I knew it! Your Xiao Ji is no match for our Moon God! She'll show her true colors when she encounters a slightly stronger opponent!"
At this moment, Qiji had no time to pay attention to the comments.
He was completely focused and absorbed in the battle—
Although he had anticipated that he would struggle greatly with the second stage of the Armament at this stage, Qiji still found it hard to accept when it actually happened before his eyes!
On what grounds?
His hard-earned physique was no match for this ugly spider-man who wore spider silk on the outside?
Is this reasonable?
Is this fair?
Fortunately, he had a backup plan after that attack.
The lightning power emanating from the spider silk caused Kamishiro Chiho to frown slightly.
"You... you almost hurt me?"
"Just almost?" Qiji asked her in return.
The moment the words left his mouth, Qiji clenched his fists tightly!
Several sharp beams of light suddenly burst forth from within Kamishiro Chiho's Armament—
It was the instant that Qiji unfolded his [Person in the Mirror] Armament, using the cover of lightning, that he shot his lens at Kamishiro Chiho!
Now, unleash full power!
That's right, [Instant Bloom] was just a feint; the subsequent lens was Qiji's true hidden killing move.
At that time, Kamishiro Chiho had not yet fully Armament, Qiji seized that opportunity—
The only gap!
In an instant, he hurt her.
Unfortunately, it was just a minor injury.
Even though Qiji had gone to great lengths to bypass the opponent's Armament, Kamishiro Chiho's body, tempered by the [Palace], was far superior to those Echoer who did not possess the [Palace].
A fourth-tier Echoer can absolutely crush opponents of lower levels!
That's just how shameless I am!
That's how invincible we are!
Kamishiro Chiho snorted coldly and activated the power of her Armament.
Immediately, all of Qiji's meticulously crafted lenses were easily flung away by her using spider silk.
Shattered glass lay scattered on the ground, reflecting the two figures facing each other.
Previously, when Qiji used this move in the Sea of Consciousness, the lens could penetrate deep into the Remnant's body and then explode instantly, tearing them into pieces.
However, when used on Kamishiro Chiho in reality, it failed to reproduce the Reenactment.
This is because Kamishiro Chiho's strength far surpasses those Remnant, and also because Qiji is currently in reality and cannot enjoy the enhancement of the Sea of Consciousness, Armament her much weaker.
The combination of these two factors led to Qiji's attempt to seize the initiative at the start, but ultimately failed to achieve the desired effect.
Qiji felt only regret, while Kamishiro Chiho was furious!
As a fourth-tier Echoer, she was actually injured by a guy who had just entered the third tier and had only recently mastered the Armament.
She looked at the shards of mirror she had flung to the ground, and saw traces of blood clinging to them...
Kamishiro Chiho's expression gradually darkened.
How should I describe that feeling?
It's like you step on an ant, and that ant actually dares to bite you instead.
This is outrageous!!!
You'll regret angering me!
Qiji did regret it, but not because of Kamishiro Chiho.
What he regretted was not being able to improve his relationship with Suyo in the Sea of Consciousness.
If I could increase my favorability with Suyo on the day I log into the Sea of Consciousness...
No, I mean, if we increased the compatibility level even more, wouldn't the result be different?
It's important to know that if the compatibility of [Thousand Faces] reaches a certain value, even if Qiji hasn't reached the fourth rank, he can still unleash the second stage of [Person in the Mirror]!
