The same applies to Cheng Yuqiu.
Nie Qingyun understood the young lady's personality very well.
Although she has an excessive sense of pride, is timid and easily embarrassed, she is also terribly stubborn about certain things.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade the other party with a few words, Nie Qingyun stopped wasting time and immediately stepped aside, giving Cheng Yuqiu enough space to get into position.
Before the attack even arrived, Cheng Yuqiu could feel the immense pressure, stronger than any previous strike. So, without even summoning his short sword, he simply held the shield above his head with both hands.
"Boom!"
In an instant, circular ripples appeared in the air.
Three figures were simultaneously thrown backward by the impact, only stopping when they crashed into the wall of the stadium.
Nie Qingyun forced himself to sit up, his body feeling like it was about to fall apart. He glanced at Ling Yuan Ellie in his arms and saw that the girl was blinking her big eyes and didn't show any signs of pain. He was slightly relieved and then turned to look at the young lady beside him.
"Ouch~ That hurts!"
Cheng Yuqiu took the main damage head-on and looked much more disheveled.
The girl scrambled up from the rubble and managed to pick up the shield from the ground, holding it in front of her.
Although I wasn't seriously injured, all the defense bonuses are related to the stamina attribute.
As the battle continues and the number of times damage is taken accumulates, the defensive effect will gradually weaken.
After Liu Chengyuan transformed into a demonic monster, his physical attributes increased at least tenfold and will continue to increase until they reach their peak.
Even Cheng Yuqiu couldn't withstand that level of attack more than a few times.
Upon realizing this, Nie Qingyun immediately abandoned any intention of continuing the fight, grabbed the girl's arm, and said sternly:
"Run!"
However, Liu Chengyuan in his demon form had greatly enhanced both his strength and speed, and he charged forward again as soon as he finished speaking.
Nie Qingyun's pupils contracted, and he subconsciously turned his back to Liu Chengyuan, pulling Cheng Yuqiu into his arms.
He is not afraid of death and can be resurrected, but the young lady cannot.
At that moment, only one thought remained in his mind.
It seems... the ability to resurrect is about to be exposed.
Perhaps this is for the best. This way, the young lady will obediently take Senior Lingyuan away, right?
But her body is severely injured right now. Even if she can be resurrected, it will take a considerable amount of time. Can the young lady withstand it...?
As his thoughts raced, Nie Qingyun felt a sharp pain coming from his back.
That was caused by the impact of sand and gravel carried by the strong wind; his body would probably be torn to pieces in the next second.
In an instant, a dazzling ray of light, like a rainbow, passed by Nie Qingyun.
The weapon struck Liu Chengyuan precisely between the eyebrows, causing his massive body to pause briefly.
Nie Qingyun, holding Cheng Yuqiu, slowly opened his eyes and happened to see the rainbow ripples still lingering in the air.
His expression faltered for a moment; this scene seemed somewhat familiar…
Just then, a fragrant breeze blew by, and a tall figure landed beside her.
The leather surface of the women's school shoes, covered by black stockings, was spotless. They paused briefly before touching the ground and then floated down lightly.
Then, a clear, cold voice came to my ear.
"You really look pathetic."
"It seems that these days away haven't been easy."
Nie Qingyun subconsciously turned her head to look at the source of the sound.
The first thing that catches the eye is a head of long, glossy black hair that reaches her waist and dances in the wind.
In front of her long hair was a red and blue uniform, neatly and meticulously maintained.
The girl slowly turned her face to the side, her neatly trimmed bangs and long sideburns tucked behind her ear by a slender hand.
She revealed a stunningly beautiful profile that was breathtaking at first glance.
She possesses a composed and elegant demeanor.
"What? Aren't you welcome?"
"Qin Hehuan?!"
Nie Qingyun was awakened by that signature mature female voice and opened his eyes slightly.
He did indeed instruct Shikigawa Asuka to seek help from Qin Hehuan if the operation was not over by nightfall.
But this was a last resort, because he had no expectations for the matter at all.
First, he wasn't sure if Qin Hehuan, this cold-hearted woman, would actually come to help.
Even if they come, they will only secretly rescue Cheng Yuqiu.
However, this woman not only arrived, but also much earlier than expected, and instead of acting in secret, she appeared here openly and brazenly.
Regardless of the circumstances, the fact that this woman entered the scene in this way means that she is temporarily on the same side.
Without uttering a single unnecessary word, Nie Qingyun immediately shared the intelligence he had gathered after realizing what was happening.
"Liu Chengyuan is no longer human; he is a demonic monster with high resistance to dark-attribute attacks."
"Their physical attributes are about 20 times that of an ordinary human, and they are still increasing."
"The attack logic takes precedence over humans and will continuously attack the nearest creature."
"It cannot be fatally injured and has an extremely strong self-healing ability..."
As they spoke, Cheng Yuqiu also came to her senses and slightly opened her mouth to say:
"Cousin... Qin Hehuan!"
"You, why are you here?"
Qin Hehuan glanced at Cheng Yuqiu, then her gaze fell on the shield in the girl's hand:
"You've grown quite a bit."
As she spoke, she turned her gaze back to Liu Chengyuan, who had transformed into a demon.
It is evident that a circular hole has been pierced between the two horns on the monster's forehead, and it is currently wriggling and healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Upon seeing this, Qin Hehuan frowned slightly and coldly said to Nie Qingyun:
"You owe me a favor."
Upon hearing this, Nie Qingyun secretly twitched the corner of his mouth.
The woman didn't mention her previous exile at all, and instead said, "You owe me a favor," clearly intending to take advantage of the situation.
Not only do they want to wipe the slate clean, but they also want a piece of the spoils.
However, at the moment, Nie Qingyun was also unsure of Qin Hehuan's true strength.
Han Zheng has probably already obtained a thousand [Primordial Crystals]. If he can obtain some information about Qin Hehuan in this battle, it won't be a complete loss.
Giving Qin Hehuan the "Treasure Chest on Her Deathbed" after Liu Chengyuan's death would not be a big deal.
But can Qin Hehuan really defeat Liu Chengyuan, who possesses an immortal body?
What secret does this woman hold...?
Thinking of this, Nie Qingyun nodded and said:
"make a deal."
"Ya Yi!" Upon hearing this, Qin Hehuan instantly summoned the beam pistol named "Enigma" from the [Data Space], and then instructed the person beside her:
"Block its movements!"
Nie Qingyun then noticed that Qin Hehuan was accompanied by a girl wearing round-framed glasses.
"Yes!" Saotome Mei responded, her expression turning serious, and immediately stepped forward.
Place your hands in front of your chest and begin forming hand seals quickly.
"【Seven Styles: Flower Reflection Tomb】!"
Chapter 124: Then, let's take her with us.
"【Seven Styles: Flower Reflection Tomb】!"
As the girl's voice faded, a buzzing sound suddenly filled the air.
The next second, a pair of dark red rings appeared at Liu Chengyuan's feet and above his head.
The inside of the ring is engraved with lifelike runes, which rotate and recombine continuously, like an exquisite magic circle.
In an instant, the enormous body froze in place like a sculpture.
This scene was truly shocking; it was the first time Nie Qingyun had ever seen such an area-of-effect control skill.
Most importantly, it has an excellent range of action and its power seems quite high.
It can even control monsters whose attributes are dozens of times higher than those of humans.
But the next second, Saotome Mei's face turned pale, and her hands, which were in a hand seal position, began to tremble uncontrollably:
"No, no, it's too strong, it's about to break free!"
Seeing this, Qin Hehuan reached out and retrieved the Mystery from the Data Space.
With a slight twitch of the index finger, the liquid energy tanks on both sides of the Enigma pistol emitted a faint light, which then turned deep blue and began to shake slightly.
It has clearly entered an overload state.
"Buzz!"
Two beams shot out simultaneously, passing straight through Liu Chengyuan's body and disappearing among the buildings, leaving only two rainbow-like trajectories.
"Roar!"
After being attacked, Liu Chengyuan in his demon form suddenly let out a piercing roar and then began to struggle violently.
As it swayed, the magic circle above its head appeared to be on the verge of collapse.
Finally, with a "crack" sound, it turned into specks of light and dissipated into the air.
Saotome stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Nie Qingyun reached out and caught her arm in time.
The girl steadied herself, glanced at the handsome man standing opposite her, then stole a look at her arm that was being held. Seemingly remembering Qin Hehuan's earlier instructions, her face flushed slightly, and she spoke softly and respectfully:
"Thanks……"
As he spoke, he carefully withdrew his arm.
Nie Qingyun didn't pay attention to these details; his attention was entirely focused on Liu Chengyuan.
Now that the magic circle had freed him from its restraints, Liu Chengyuan immediately focused his gaze on Qin Hehuan.
As soon as he stepped on the ground, he rushed towards the group.
They were moving so fast that it was almost impossible to see their figures clearly.
"Get out of the way!"
Having personally experienced how powerful Liu Chengyuan's demonized attacks were, Nie Qingyun didn't hesitate to pull Cheng Yuqiu aside to dodge.
But as soon as he took a step, he found that Qin Hehuan was still standing motionless in the same spot.
They seemed to be stunned by the oncoming attack.
Come to think of it, although this woman possesses SSS+ level skills, her own attributes are not high, so she is probably not the type who is good at close combat.
Thinking of this, Nie Qingyun subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab Qin Hehuan.
Just then, a loud "boom" suddenly sounded behind them.
A figure entirely black, like a raging bull, smashed through the wall and burst out of a building.
In an instant, it soared over Nie Qingyun's head and rushed towards the center of the square.
The next second, the two monsters, one black and one red, collided.
Like gladiators in ancient Rome, they braced themselves with their four hands together, vying for strength.
