She was being hunted down, so she became a magical girl.

Huan Guang held her breath and exchanged glances with Jiang Chenglian in the distance.

The latter then activated three flying swords, aiming them at Zhan Ye who was approaching.

Jiang Chenglian's main body and the three flying swords were all enhanced by the magic of Illusionary Light.

If the sneak attack succeeds and strikes Zhan Ye's vital points, they will have a chance to escape.

The Mysterious Ones have found Lady Mystery. As long as the two of them escape successfully, the mission will be a perfect success!

With a longing for a perfect ending, Jiang Cheng practiced shooting flying swords.

A perfect trajectory, a sure-fire strike.

Ke Zhanye raised his hand.

The magic was precisely released from his hand, knocking down the three flying swords.

"A ridiculous trick."

Zhanye looked towards where Huanguang was and said,

"Your invisibility magic is useless against me; I can see your every move."

"One was hiding around the corner, another was lying on the ground, and three flying swords were dancing a comical tango behind me."

"Without the power of youth, is this all the tricks you can pull off?"

"But the 'young lady' doesn't seem to be here. Is this magical girl wielding a sword your new sister?"

"Never mind, it doesn't matter."

Zhan Ye walked over unhurriedly, and the karmic flames ignited at her feet.

"Thank me, you'll live a little longer."

"I could kill you all right now, but then the guy who narrowly defeated me would have no reason to come."

"This is a bad thing for me."

Seeing that Zhan Ye had correctly reported all the locations, Huan Guang realized that the attack he had launched against them earlier was not a fluke.

He has truly mastered the art of cutting off karma.

But how did she do it?

Huan Guang racked his brains but still couldn't figure out how he had been exposed.

Back in the factory, Zhan Ye did indeed attack Gray Raven while she was in stealth mode, but that was because Gray Raven was in a state of enhanced power, and she couldn't control both Shao Hua and her own magic at the same time, which is why she exposed herself.

Now, Huan Guang's magic is well controlled, so Zhan Ye shouldn't have discovered himself through magic.

But when asked to give a guess, she couldn't guess anything.

"I'm really not good at this..." Huan Guang couldn't help but think.

In previous battles, it was Gray Raven who did the thinking, while Phantom Light only needed to follow orders.

After Gray Raven lost its magic, Illusion chose the Colorless One, who was even smarter than Gray Raven, so listening to her was the right thing to do.

But now there are neither colorless ones nor gray crows.

Huan Guang looked at Jiang Chenglian, hoping to get an instruction from the latter.

But Jiang Chenglian looked even more nervous than she did.

That's true. Yunyun isn't very smart to begin with, and her logical thinking is poor, so we can't count on her.

So, I guess I really have to rely on myself after all?

Huan Guang gritted her teeth and spoke to Zhan Ye:

"Stop dreaming, she won't come."

"You heard the communication just now. We have found Lady Miyan, and she will take her to safety first."

"Really? I don't believe it," Zhanye said.

"Two magical girls aren't exactly disposable assets for Mystery, are they?"

"And if that person is the type to abandon their teammates, you and the young lady would both die in the factory."

"As for the superstitious words... let the young lady lead her to retreat."

"Believe it or not," Huan Guang said, pulling the magic thread in her hand.

This is a trick she learned from Gray Raven. Magical girls talk a lot when they fight, so you can launch a sneak attack while they are talking!

Even if her invisibility magic doesn't work, as long as Zhan Ye doesn't notice the silk threads under her feet, she can succeed.

Ride —

It really worked.

The MX-7 "Storm Butterfly" class Phantom Mist Launcher, which had been lying in ambush on the road, was activated immediately, and a wall of mist completely enveloped Zhan Ye's figure.

Ha, you still got tricked by me!

With the fog wall interfering with your vision, even if you can see through invisibility, it's useless.

Huan Guang was overjoyed and seized the opportunity to get up and prepare to escape.

But the black flames blocked her escape route before she could.

"snort."

"It seems you saw through me after all."

The voice of Zhan Ye came from within the wall of mist:

"My new prosthetic body has scanning particles that can sense your location through physical contact, but it is useless against magical activities."

"You used that to detonate the smoke grenade, that was a good performance."

"Unfortunately, the gap between us is as vast as heaven and earth, so this has no effect on me."

Actually, I had no idea; it was just pure luck...

Ye Yan completely enveloped the end of the passage, completely blocking Huan Guang's escape route.

And my arm hurts terribly.

Huan Guang looked down at her hands; the blazing flames had almost burned her palms clean.

The moment she engaged Zhan Ye in battle, she and Jiang Cheng were struck by Ye Yan.

Huan Guang was guilty of theft; he lost both hands from just a slight touch, just like a thief who has been caught.

Just like the master who went mad and ran to the gangster's mansion to steal medicine for her.

That wall of fire was an obstacle that Huan Guang could never overcome.

"Run!" Huan Guang verbally instructed Jiang Chenglian.

She was burdened with sins, but Yunyi was not.

Yunyi was also attacked by Ye Yan, but the black flames burned symbolically on her body for a moment before going out.

Yunyun will definitely be able to get through that wall of fire.

But Jiang Chenglian did not run away.

"Run!" Huan Guang, suspecting that the other party had not understood, shouted loudly without bothering to keep it a secret.

But Jiang Chenglian simply shook his head at her.

"A magical girl will not abandon her companions." She summoned all her flying swords.

"Phantom Light, let's fight her to the death!"

Those who don't listen to reason are asking for trouble.

Just like the grocery store clerk who insisted on taking her ill-gotten gains and was eventually fired and lost his life.

Huan Guang didn't want any more people like that to die.

She couldn't let Miss Yunyi and Zhanye fight head-on; she had to do it.

So she suddenly rushed forward.

She activated the "Mountain and Sea" Type III gravity collapse device at her waist simultaneously.

Although the Colorless Ones kept warning Illusion that this was the last resort that could only be used while maintaining a safe distance.

But there aren't that many safe distances in the world.

One mistake and a person can die.

Zhanye, hidden within the wall of mist, was unaware that Huanguang was planning to take her down with her. She had simply created a wall of fire between herself and Huanguang, intending to stop Huanguang.

But Jiang Chenglian saw through it.

She immediately activated [Vertical and Horizontal], trying to pull the illusionary light back.

But Huan Guang's body and her clothes are organic materials, not within Zong Heng's control. She can only indirectly pull Huan Guang back by controlling other items tied to her body.

But Jiang Cheng's magical power was insufficient.

She couldn't generate enough speed instantly to pull the illusion back.

As the illusory light was about to touch the wall of fire, Jiang Chenglian was overwhelmed by a tremendous sense of powerlessness.

She knew she could no longer stop Huan Guang's death—

"Don't do anything foolish."

Xu Ting's voice came from the wall of fire behind him.

Then, a miracle happened.

Another spell, similar to the one used in the Horizontal and Vertical Array, suddenly acted on Huan Guang, assisting Jiang Chenglian.

That spell used far more magic power than Jiang Cheng had used in his own training, so the illusion was instantly pulled back.

And the gravity collapse device at her waist...

It then flew into the hands of Xu Ting, who emerged from the wall of fire.

"Sever your karma, this is my invitation."

As Xu Ting spoke, the gravity collapse device was thrown at an extremely fast speed next to Zhan Ye.
