Chapter 143 The Attack of the Qiong Niu
Deep within the shadows, red light flickered, and the eerie aura unique to the heretical demons transformed into black mist that blotted out the sky and the moon.
In the crack less than 100 meters away from Tangcao and the others, a huge creature had already poked half its body out of the ground.
The ground was like scorched earth after a volcanic eruption, with molten lava gushing from the ground and black smoke rising into the sky, making the already oppressive weather even more treacherous.
Click!
A thunderclap flashed, illuminating most of the night sky.
The phrase "heavenly thunder and earthly fire" seemed to have its most vivid image at this moment.
The earth trembled slightly under some powerful force. Finally, the terrifying body tore open a crack and descended into reality with difficulty. Little Gray's scream came with the wind.
The next second, a furious shout filled with murderous intent exploded out.
"Qiong Niu!!"
A streak of blue light ripped through the sky, followed by the sound of flapping wings, and the sharp amethyst blade was already right in front of them.
Qiong Niu was in very poor condition at this time, you could say extremely poor.
The battle with Tang Zijun had nearly cost him his life. It seemed like only a brief moment, but that level of energy collision was definitely not something that could be escaped unscathed by simply relying on spatial power.
On the surface, it was just a broken bull horn, but only he knew how dangerous the situation was at the time. In fact, his dark crystal had been shaken open and cracked during the collision.
Although it was only a slight stab, this level of damage was enough to threaten his very essence. As the essence of the birth of the Outer Path Demon, the Dark Crystal was like his heart.
This small crack is like a wound on a human heart; no matter its size, it can be life-threatening.
It is believed that Sir Skeleton also realized this, which is why he stepped down to the second line and withdrew from the main battlefield to the task of hatching the alien beast eggs.
As long as I return to the underworld to recuperate, and with the help of the constant supply of negative energy from the real world, it may take a little longer, but my injuries are not without the possibility of healing.
But the Qiongniu is not the kind of animal that stays still.
If you want to heal your injuries as quickly as possible, there is no better medicine than absorbing the negative energy of a magical girl!
As beings chosen by nature to fight against evil, the emotions of those girls inherently carry the power of idealism. This is not only the source of magic, but also what these heretical demons desire most.
The despair of the magical girl before her tragic death, even if it was only fleeting, contained a negative energy that no city could match.
It was for this reason that after leaving the Tree Crown Royal City Secret Realm, Qiongniu set his sights on the magical girls who wandered alone in various cities.
Qiong Niu's original target was the water-type magical girl from Yucheng, but his actions had clearly attracted the attention of the magical girl camp. At this time, there were three magical girls in Yucheng, all of whom were quite powerful.
If it were a Qiong Niu in its prime, it would naturally not be afraid, but now, dragging its broken body, it would be better to choose an easy target.
Coincidentally, Snow City, which is also one of the gaps under the command of Skull Knight, has just given birth to a new magical girl, which has also attracted Qiong Niu's attention.
Perhaps the negative energy unleashed by the newly born magical girl was not enough to heal her injuries, but with the idea that even a small mosquito is still meat, Qiong Niu still set her sights on Snow City.
After all—he didn't have many choices left.
As a high-ranking heretical demon, it is no easy task for him to pass through the gap in the city where the negative energy has just reached the threshold and descend into the real world.
Even with the help of the previous heretical demon's passage and the Golden Leaf's ability to open up space, Qiong Niu still had to exert all his strength to barely manage to do it, which seriously affected his condition.
Just as he was about to search for the magical girl who should not have gone far, Xiao Hui's strange voice entered Qiong Niu's ears. He was all too familiar with that voice!
Before Qiong Niu could react to what was happening, a blade came hurtling towards him, aimed directly at his head.
Clang!
A sharp, metallic clang rang out, and the Qiongniu instinctively used its remaining horn to block the fierce blow.
But then the blue figure flapped its wings and attacked again.
"Wind-induced instantaneous squall line!!"
As soon as she made her move, Qin Nan unleashed her ultimate technique. At this moment, she was completely unprepared and the battle between the two sides instantly reached a fever pitch.
The wind whipped up the clouds, and the black mist was bound by the gale. In the blink of an eye, invisible threads wrapped around the entire body of the Qiong Niu, even leaving streaks of blood on its skin.
This sudden turn of events caught Qiong Niu completely off guard, and even Tang Cao and Xiao Bai, who were standing not far away, were stunned.
Little Grey just said to run away quickly, right?
Right?
Why did Senior Qin Nan just go straight for the lead without saying a word?!
Qin Nan suddenly yanked the 'silk thread' in her hand while in mid-air, and the howling wind caused Qiong Niu to stumble.
After a moment of panic, the Qiongniu quickly regained its senses, its black hooves slamming into the ground, and its previously swaying, massive body regained its footing.
Gazing at the purple blade hurtling through the air like a meteor, Qiongniu let out a low roar, and its eyes suddenly erupted with a destructive crimson light.
The next second, a cool sensation ran down her cheek as Qin Nan's figure passed right by the red light before it could spread.
With light footsteps, Qin Nan gripped the dagger tightly, performed a somersault, and took off into the air the instant she was close to the ground, turning around to prepare for another attack.
Unlike ordinary magical girls, Qin Nan has extensive combat experience. She knows very well that when facing Outer Path Demons, it is absolutely essential to seize the initiative. If you wait for your opponent to react, the battle will become extremely troublesome.
Especially when the enemy is this guy!
Magic flowed rapidly through his body, and the magical incantation was successfully reconnected.
However, just as Qin Nan was preparing to launch another attack, a sharp sound of something cutting through the air suddenly came crashing down.
Tail!
Qin Nan's pupils contracted.
She only had time to parry with her sword when her vision blurred, and she could vaguely see a black shadow like a whip flash by. Qin Nan was sent flying.
"Heh"
Heavy breathing echoed in the dim environment. Qiong Niu's eyes were wide open, and its skin emitted a faint red glow. On its black skin, there was even a faint flow of magma.
A series of crisp "snap" sounds rang out, and Qin Nan struggled to raise his head, only to see that the wind lines he had used to restrain the Qiong Niu had all broken into pieces.
The intense heat emanating from the opponent's body even caused the air to distort, and the threads formed by the wind were all affected and broke apart.
As the lava emerged, Qiong Niu's body began to swell, its already enormous form becoming even more ferocious. Bone spikes grew from its elbows and shoulders, and its aura became even more powerful.
The chill of early spring was instantly dispelled, and the surrounding temperature was rising at an extremely rapid pace.
"What... what is this?"
Xiao Bai was completely terrified.
As a spirit beast, even though she hadn't awakened any skills, her passive perception of external demonic energy remained. At this moment, she could clearly sense the terror of this monster.
This is definitely not an enemy that Tangcao can face right now!
"Little Grey!"
At that moment, Qin Nan's voice came from afar.
"Let's go first, Tangcao and Xiaobai!"
Upon hearing Qin Nan's voice, Tang Cao immediately snapped out of her daze. However, she did not show any fear; instead, her face became extremely serious and earnest.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go!" Xiaobai was about to run away, but when she turned around and saw that Tangcao was still standing there, she couldn't help but shout in surprise.
"They can fight."
Tangcao gripped the Star Staff tightly in her hand.
"Huh?" Xiaobai's face froze.
Tang Cao, however, kept her eyes fixed on the colossal creature in the distance, and murmured calmly, "This guy is badly injured; we might not necessarily be unable to defeat him."
Upon hearing this, Xiaobai almost choked.
Oh, my ancestors!
How could someone say such a thing at a time like this? With the negative energy emitted by that heretical demon, its level is at least two or three major levels higher than Tang Cao's!
Let alone fighting, to be honest, Xiaobai doesn't even know if he can escape!
Upon hearing Tang Cao's voice, Xiao Hui blinked slightly and turned its head sharply towards the direction of Qiong Niu.
As the "Demon Hunter's Vision" focused, Qiong Niu's subtle exhaustion, hidden beneath the terrifying and blasphemous aura, was fully exposed.
Tangcao was right, this guy really was seriously injured!
The situation was too urgent just now, so Xiao Hui didn't have time to observe it in detail. Of course, the main reason was that this Qiong Niu was "famous" in the magical girl circle.
As the sharpest blade under the command of the high-ranking officer Sir Skull, many magical girls have clashed with this guy, and some of their predecessors have even nearly perished at his hands.
Qiongniu's ruthlessness and cruelty surpass that of most heretical demons. He would burn each victim to a crisp with high temperatures, turning them into dried-up human bodies. Moreover, he was extremely powerful, and even ordinary green-level magical girls could not contend with him.
If it weren't for the limitations imposed by negative energy and the gap in the world, this guy's threat level would probably be several levels higher!
That's why Little Grey's first instinct upon seeing this guy was to run away.
But now that he realized the other party was seriously injured, Xiao Hui was a little dazed.
Did other veteran magical girl squads intervene?
That's impossible. If there really was such a big operation, there would have been a lot of news about it.
But if it's not another magical girl, then who could possibly have such means to force Qiong Niu into this situation?
