Chapter 227 The Soul Gem is of course a soul.
The constantly moving red chain barrier seemed to have a life of its own; with each thrust, a tiny crack would precisely and automatically open along its trajectory, allowing the spear to pass through without any obstruction.

One is like an insect entangled in a spider web, only able to passively defend itself, while the other only needs to focus on attacking.

This brief battle seems to have already ended in defeat?

"No!" As the high-speed stab struck, Xingzi's hand suddenly went empty. She clearly felt that the area had been completely sealed off by the automatically operating chains, leaving no gaps.

"I clearly stabbed him once, where is he?!" Alarm bells rang in her mind.

In an instant, she transformed into countless chains extending her senses, writhing as she instantly detected the truth. "Wait, underground! He's burrowed underground!"

……

buzzing...

A strange sound, like the roar of a chainsaw, suddenly exploded out.

Fang Zheng, the boy trapped by chains, has found a way to escape.

He disassembled the greatsword in his hand once again, covering the remaining blades with his body to form an even stronger and thicker metal cone.

At the same time, the tiny blades that make up the "scales" suddenly opened, and his entire body of bladed armor was arranged in a spiral. From the opening, he released the last bit of power of his gasoline in a more violent way!
Originally bound tightly by chains, his body, propelled by the explosive flames, instantly transformed into a high-speed spinning, sharp metal spiral cone, carrying an aura of tearing everything apart, and directly pierced through the ground!
The billowing dust instantly obscured the already poor visibility of the chain barrier, while he, like a shark lurking underground, sped out from underground, ready to launch a counterattack!

Xingzi's eyes narrowed, but she remained calm. She immediately brandished the spear like a harpoon, and at the same time, with a thought, the originally dense chain barrier instantly condensed and deformed, transforming into many crimson spears. These spears aimed at the rapidly approaching metal cone underground and stabbed fiercely into the ground, intending to block its underground movement and force it to surface.

As the shark-like metallic figure was restricted by the trajectory of countless spears piercing the ground, a crimson light pierced down, and Kyoko was about to force it out of the ground!
However, the strange feel sent a chill down her spine, and a strong sense of danger washed over her.

"No! This thing isn't in here!" The spiraling metal cone that pierced through at high speed collapsed without warning the moment her spear pierced it, turning into numerous fragments, and the inside was empty, with nothing inside!

boom!
A sudden explosion occurred at the spot where the burrow had just entered the ground.

The young man, Fang Zheng, whose figure was not covered by any armor, burst out of the ground like a cannonball. He tightly gripped an exceptionally slender sword in his hand, shattered the ground with his footsteps, and instantly covered the distance, rushing straight at the enemy!

Just as Kyoko's attention was diverted due to guarding against the underground attack, and at the same time the chain barrier that was sealing off the movement was thinning due to the condensation of the spear, the boy's figure had already approached!

A smile played on his lips, and his eyes gleamed with unprecedented excitement. The slender blade sliced ​​through the air with a sharpness that could tear everything apart, aiming with unparalleled precision at the girl's arms!
"Huh?!" A sudden sense of disorientation and astonishment instantly filled Kyoko's heart.

"My hand?!" The excruciating pain in her shoulder and the despairing emptiness filled Sakura Kyoko with an unprecedented sense of terror. "This guy... he really wants to kill me!"

After becoming a magical girl, Sakura Kyoko was not without injuries. In fact, it could be said that in just two months, she suffered quite a few wounds from attacks by witches and familiars.

If it weren't for her magical powers and Mami's help, she would have died from her injuries long ago.

But she never imagined that one day she would be driven to such a desperate situation by her fellow magical girl... no, magical warrior!

With both arms severed, her fighting ability was almost instantly reduced to zero. If this guy swung his sword again, she would die without any chance of resistance.

“I won…” The panic of losing the ability to resist made Xingzi completely ignore the boy Fang Zheng’s extremely excited voice.

"Bastard!" Following the fear of death came an eruption of extreme rage. "You actually wanted to kill me? Then you'll die too!"

The red soul gem on her chest suddenly burst forth with a blinding red light and began to flash rapidly. A massive amount of magic power erupted instantly like a flood breaking through a dam, carrying a determination to destroy herself!
Boom boom boom...

A deafening roar echoed through the space. The excitement in Fang Zheng's eyes subsided slightly, but he was shocked to find that the space around him had been instantly sealed off by a dense forest of spears, completely eliminating any possibility of dodging!
boom!
The spears, which had blocked all escape routes, launched a simultaneous attack, engulfing him like a torrential downpour.

Meanwhile, the Soul Gem on Sakura Kyoko's chest was flashing wildly, about to trigger a self-destruction that could lead to mutual destruction!

"What are you doing?" The young man, Fang Zheng, was somewhat confused and asked loudly through telepathy.

He sensed the terrifying power about to erupt from the other party's soul gem and hurriedly tried to use magic to intervene and prevent the self-destruction.

However, just as he was about to interfere with his magic, countless spears pierced through from all around! Helpless, he could only unleash his magic and control his greatsword to block the attacks on himself and Kyoko.

In just a moment, he was pierced into a bloody, mangled hedgehog!

Having resigned herself to death and only wanting to take someone down with her, Sakura Kyoko came to her senses after a moment of daze.

"Huh? My shoulder... doesn't hurt anymore?" She suddenly realized that her shoulder, which had been in excruciating pain just moments before, was now completely painless.

She turned her head and saw that her arm was still severed and covered in blood.

"What exactly do you want to do?!" Kyoko suppressed her weakness, summoned a long spear for support, and barely managed to steady her body, which had lost both arms and was now unbalanced. She looked at the boy in front of her, who was covered in thorns, had one arm severed, and whose internal organs were visible through the wound on his abdomen, and questioned him sharply.

"Huh?" Fang Zheng scratched his head with his only remaining hand, looking completely bewildered. "I was just asking you! Why the sudden 'we're all going to die together'? Are you playing this high-stakes game?"

"If I hadn't reacted quickly, you would have blown yourself to pieces! It was just a little test fight, was it really necessary? At most... you win this time, okay?"

"You—!" Sakura Kyoko was so angry she almost laughed. She looked at her severed arm and gritted her teeth. "You bastard! You cut off my hand and you call it fighting?! You just wanted to kill me! And you're asking me why I self-destructed?"

"What did you say? When did I say I was going to kill you?" Faced with her questioning, the boy looked innocent, casually picked up the dusty severed arm from the ground, swept it away with magic, and then brought it close to his shoulder.

In the next instant, fine, white, downy threads instantly wrapped around the broken bones, muscles, and skin, which healed rapidly under the magical glow at a speed visible to the naked eye!
This utterly unbelievable move left Sakura Kyoko speechless.

Scratching the back of his head, the young man suddenly realized something. He simply bent down and showed Xingzi the huge wound on the back of his head. Clear cerebrospinal fluid was gushing out of the wound, and a small part of his grayish-white brain was even exposed, having been partially crushed.

"You—!" A chill instantly rose from the depths of Sakura Kyoko's heart. "You... are you even human?!"

"Hey, why are you acting so strangely?" The boy casually wiped the brain matter on his hands onto his pants and asked in confusion, "Why are you making such a fuss over such a small injury? What's the big deal?"

"Never mind, let me treat you first." With that, he casually waved his hand, and a small blade flew out, bringing over Xingzi's two severed arms from a distance and cleaning off the dust.

Then, holding the two slender severed arms, he walked straight toward Apricot.

Under the other party's wary gaze, he brought his severed arm close to their shoulder, unleashed his magic, and white threads rapidly wrapped around the wound, healing it at an astonishing speed.

While treating him, the boy said, "You almost blew your hand into pieces just now. If I hadn't kicked it away, it would probably have been just a pile of minced meat. It would have been difficult to sew it up again, and it would have been a lot of work to make it grow back."

Clenching her fist, feeling her arm healed but still throbbing with pain in her shoulder, Sakura Kyoko was momentarily speechless.

She looked at the man in front of her, who was almost riddled with thorns and had two spears stuck in his stomach. He should have been dead long ago, but he was pulling the spears out of his body one by one, while his wounds healed rapidly. She asked in a low voice, "Your wish is to gain powerful healing abilities, so you can survive being injured like this, is that right?"

"Huh?" The young man pointed to himself in confusion, then took off the Soul Gem from his waist, held it up in front of her, and said, "What have you been talking about from the beginning until now?"

Seeing the disgusted look on Kyoko's face, he simply reached behind her head and pulled out a wobbly piece of brain matter, placing it next to the Soul Gem: "Don't you know? This is our soul."

"Since it's called the Soul Gem, it must be the core of our soul's power."

As the boy spoke, he continued stitching up his wounds, even curiously rummaging through his internal organs. "As long as this thing is protected, nothing's a big deal. These little injuries are nothing; they can be easily healed and even block out pain."

"I..." With a thud, Sakura Kyoko collapsed to her knees, powerless.

"Why did you suddenly kneel down?" The boy, Fang Zheng, leaned forward in confusion, looking at Kyoko's pale and unpleasant face. "You've been magical girls for so long, don't you even know this?"

Thump... A muffled sound suddenly rang out not far away.

"Huh?" The boy turned his head and saw that Mami Tomoe had arrived at some point and was kneeling on the ground, covering her face with her hands, tears streaming down her face.
