Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

Jiang Mian looked around, his gaze sweeping over the empty faces, and snorted coldly.

"I thought a puppet that takes longer to get used to might surprise me... This is really boring."

These words seemed to have triggered a switch, and the "people" in the store began to stir.

One of the burly puppets, as if enraged, bared its teeth and lunged at her.

"How dare you..."

"Bang!"

Without hesitation, Jiang Mian pulled out the [Heavenly Punishment] from his spatial storage and swung it lightly, striking it directly in the face.

The puppet's head exploded, and its body flew backward, crashing heavily into the "crowd".

The other puppets instinctively tried to dodge.

Only a few unlucky ones were hit directly, causing a series of cracking sounds as they turned into fragments along with the burly puppet.

When facing a group of inhuman creatures, Jiang Mian's battle strategy has always been to achieve a swift victory.

Seeing the puppets transform into a human tide, rushing towards her fearlessly, a cold smile appeared on her face.

With a slight thought, Jiang Mian unleashed a wind field, creating an invisible repulsive force around his body.

Their approach speed slowed down, and they were completely suppressed in just a few seconds.

She took a step forward, gun in hand.

A wisp of purple rippled from her toes and suddenly spread outwards.

Before the [Universe of Destruction], they had no power to resist and, along with the nightclub itself, all turned into amethyst statues.

"shock!"

As the sound faded, the second phase of [The Illusion of Heaven and Earth] began.

In an instant, all the amethysts silently exploded, turning into specks of dust that shimmered with mesmerizing colors in the night.

Jiang Mian, holding his gun, looked around.

The nightclubs disappeared, turning into fragments in the air, which were scattered by the wind, leaving only an empty plain.

"That's it?"

She frowned.

Not right.

I thought that there might be something hidden in a place with "lots of people".

Even though I destroyed it directly, the true form of [Mirror Alley] still didn't appear.

Although there were quite a few puppets, the strongest of them were only slightly above the fifth rank, and they were all wiped out by her single skill.

Is that guy trying to probe my hand little by little?

Jiang Mian thought about it more and more and felt that it was possible, and there would probably be even stronger images to come.

To prevent that guy from running away at the first sign of trouble, don't release the flood clones yet; let's probe the situation first.

She closed her eyes and unleashed both her elemental and spiritual perceptions.

The moment Jiang Mian closed his eyes, a violent ripple spread across the ground behind him.

A dark shadow shot up from the ground and flew straight toward Jiang Mian's back!

The shockwave he generated scattered the surrounding debris, even creating a sharp whistling sound as he was about to bring down his sword!

Jiang Mian did not turn around, but instinctively sensed the flow of "wind" and subconsciously enveloped his entire body with the power of shadow.

Then, she flashed and appeared in the air hundreds of meters away.

"boom!"

The shadowy figure's blade missed its mark.

Although it didn't strike the ground directly, the accompanying crimson blade energy left a deep, dark mark in front of him.

The ground twitched strangely a few times, then quickly returned to normal.

The dark figure slowly raised its head, looked at Jiang Mian in the air, and clearly revealed its appearance.

He was a muscular man wearing a black uniform, with an unnaturally grayish-white complexion.

Jiang Mian looked into his eyes and frowned.

"So he really is dead...?"

His uniform was clearly from the Ministry of Supervision, so he was undoubtedly the missing Inspector Gao.

In the outside world, a puppet is no different from an ordinary person.

However, once back in the Mirror Space, the Mirror Golem will reveal its original appearance, making it quite easy to recognize.

As a seventh-tier calamity, even if this [Mirror Alley] is not the biggest mastermind, it should still play a very important role in this matter.

When she sensed it just now, she detected a very strong elemental fluctuation directly below.

I'm afraid... this is the biggest "warehouse" for those unscrupulous speculators.

Before Jiang Mian could even ponder the specific relationship between the two, Gao Yi took action once again.

However, instead of launching an attack, he stabbed himself in the abdomen several times.

"Snap!"

The sharp blade pierced the flesh, but instead produced a crisp cracking sound, as if the flesh inside the body was not blood and flesh, but glass.

Gao Yi remained unfazed and stabbed himself several more times.

As his injuries worsened, his aura became noticeably more violent, gradually rising to the peak of the sixth rank.

"[Seven Wounds]?"

Jiang Mian raised an eyebrow slightly.

This ability allows him to stab himself a few times before a fight to maintain his "optimal condition".

It seems that after a period of adjustment, this mirror image has been able to master Gao Yi's abilities and has even learned most of his fighting style.

But... so what if you're at the peak of the sixth rank?

He already possessed the ability to fight against opponents of higher levels, and now he has the added benefit of an extra core and the [Heavenly Punishment].

In terms of output, no one below the sixth rank can compare to me.

"Kill...kill!"

Gao Yi let out a low roar, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Jiang Mian instinctively turned to the side, and a blood-red blade of energy grazed past her, slicing the building behind her in half.

The upper half of the building collapsed with a crash, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The crimson longsword struck again, its speed and power more than three times greater than before, its blade energy carrying unparalleled ferocity.

"Annoying."

She snorted coldly and swung her gun backhand.

[Heavenly Punishment] unleashed an arc of icy blue light, colliding with the longsword that was attacking again.

"Clang!"

The collision was sharp and piercing, producing a large number of sparks.

Gao Yi was thrown back more than 100 meters and crashed into the ruins of a nearby building, with several obvious cracks appearing on the skin of his arm.

On the other hand, Jiang Mian, although she blocked Gao Yi's attack, also felt a slight numbness in her arm.

"Is this what a pure enhanced Awakened is like?"

This was the first time she had felt this way since her physical fitness had been enhanced.

Jiang Mian looked into the ruins.

Gao Yi showed no expression, and with a backhand motion, he slashed his own chest again.

"Click."

The cracks multiplied, but his aura surged again, even faintly touching the threshold of the seventh rank.

Seeing this, she pursed her lips.

If it were a human, the initial few cuts that damaged the internal organs would already be enough to cause serious injury.

After becoming a mirror puppet, it was actually strengthened.

"Let's go all out with the big one."

Jiang Mian took a deep breath and then amplified his Shadow Power to its maximum.

In a few flashes, she disappeared into the night sky above.

Only when the distance was pushed to its limit and it could no longer be climbed did Jiang Mian pour all his spiritual power into the [Heavenly Punishment] in his hand.

The ice-blue spear suddenly transformed into a dazzling gold, its shaft wreathed in equally striking arcs of electricity.

After a brief moment of charging up, Jiang Mian aimed at the city below and hurled it!

"call out!"

The spear pierced the night sky like a golden lightning bolt, reaching the ground in the blink of an eye.

The golden lightning ring exploded instantly, engulfing the entire block in a lightning prison.

But before she could check the effect, she was locked onto by a strange mental force.

It seemed to have seized the moment when Jiang Mian finished using his skill, attempting to pierce into Jiang Mian's consciousness and forcibly shatter it into pieces—

However, Jiang Mian showed no fear whatsoever; instead, a hint of excitement shone in her eyes.

They've finally shown their faces?

"【Eye of the Abyss】, open!"

As the thought crossed my mind, time seemed to stand still.

Immediately afterwards, a huge black dragon appeared behind Jiang Mian in the blink of an eye.

The icy blue dragon eyes, filled with killing intent, immediately locked onto a spot in the void.
