My wife is a magical girl, how can I be the villain?

Hua Lingyou dragged her wounded body, hugged the captain's shoulder, and stared at the Void Beast standing not far away with a ferocious expression. The savage Void Beast was approaching step by step, its thick claws slicing through the dim air, flashing with a faint purple light.

The young captain had lost an arm and a leg, and the remaining half of his body was twitching. He stretched out his only remaining hand and grabbed Hua Lingyou's arm, as if trying to say something.

Half a day earlier, after being "threatened" by Hua Lingyou, Tang Ming mustered all his strength and kept chasing after them. Finally, he saw the signal cluster floating in the air and intercepted the two of them.

He thrust out from the side without hesitation, and with two "bangs," he lunged at Hua Lingyou. Hua Lingyou "reacted quickly," and while running, she strangely dropped to the ground, dodging Tang Ming's sneak attack from the darkness, and also managed to pounce on the young captain in front of her.

"It's coming!" Hua Lingyou shouted as she turned around. The captain, who was about to slip away, was interrupted by Hua Lingyou and had no choice but to turn around and keep a close eye on Tang Ming's next move while retreating.

Tang Ming's attack missed, and he immediately charged straight at the two of them.

The tall, thick crystal armor trembled continuously, and the sharp crystals sparked as they rubbed together. In the blink of an eye, the Void Beast pounced on the two of them, but Hua Lingyou used her agile movements to repel Tang Ming.

The captain was even more skilled; his two arms transformed into large shields with crystal armor, protecting himself while swinging the shields back at Tang Ming.

The three exchanged blows, their power from the void was astonishing, each impact creating a dull "bang" sound in the air.

Hua Lingyou intentionally or unintentionally stepped aside... remaining neutral.

On the one hand, it's impossible for her to actually attack Tang Ming; on the other hand, her alien essence is difficult to exert its full strength in disguised form. Once a fierce collision occurs, the alien essence can only be transformed into crystal armor to maximize its strength.

The three fought fiercely. Although there were no dazzling magical spells, their ever-changing moves in close combat were still dazzling.

Tang Ming transformed into a ferocious beast, leaping and bounding through rugged ravines, sometimes disappearing into the darkness, sometimes leaping out to launch a fatal attack.

Although the young captain lacked practical combat skills, his heterogeneous evolutionary ability was equally impressive. Relying on his physical defense, he could withstand the opponent's attacks at crucial moments. He always narrowly dodged the sharp threads that Tang Ming suddenly used.

However, Tang Ming's speed was simply too fast. If Hua Lingyou hadn't interrupted his attacks several times, the young captain would have been overwhelmed by his lightning-fast speed.

Tang Ming unleashed another spiral slash from the sky, his entire body transforming into a crystal blade aimed directly at the captain's exposed back of the neck. Hua Lingyou pounced forward, her hand, now a blade, slashing horizontally to deflect the opponent's force.

Tang Ming's first attack failed, so he took another step, increasing his speed and disappearing into the darkness, circling around the two of them looking for an opportunity.

The captain gasped for breath, breaking out in a cold sweat. He nodded gratefully to Hua Lingyou. The premonition of death was extremely strong at that moment. If it weren't for Captain Jia's desperate rescue, that crystal blade cut would have separated him from his body.

Fireflies hovered high in the sky, constantly moving, and below, in a small area covered by their light, three people were locked in a fierce battle. Aside from their location, the light seemed to vanish into thin air, making the whole world appear utterly bizarre.

This battle was not one that either side could withstand. Time ticked by in a chilling atmosphere, and the young captain had fallen into a deep state of weakness, with the alien entity, acting as a symbiote, constantly draining his life force. In contrast, Tang Ming's alien entity was full of vitality and was clearly far from exhausted.

If the captain hadn't been so well-covered, with two large shields protecting his sides, Tang Ming, with his current strength, would have been unable to cut through him and would have been killed long ago.

Finally, due to a misstep in positioning, or perhaps because Hua Lingyou's position suddenly became "wrong," the captain's waist was exposed, leaving no time to cover the gap for defense.

With a single slash, the entire lower thigh was ripped off. After Tang Ming brushed past him, the body was flung into the air, spun several times, and landed limply on the ground.

"ah--"

The captain lost his balance and knelt on the ground, clutching his wound in agony. The foreign substance on his skin turned into threads that intertwined and formed a black net at the wound, stopping the gushing blood.

Tang Ming charged toward Hua Lingyou, who prepared to offer a symbolic defense, urging Tang Ming to press his advantage. Unexpectedly, Tang Ming showed no mercy, attacking her at close range and delivering two punches that knocked away half of her disguise, revealing her long limbs, which appeared slightly disproportionate to Captain Jia's physique.

"Tang Ming! Do you want to die?"

Hua Lingyou held her blade horizontally, sideways, and used the flat surface to smash Tang Ming open.

"I got really worked up. It's been a long time since I fought like this... I got a little carried away."

Tang Ming hurriedly explained... and then punched Hua Lingyou again.

"Combat training, huh? Let me test you!"

Hua Lingyou acted decisively, delivering two heavy blows without any mercy. Tang Ming prepared to block, but Hua Lingyou leaped behind him and slammed him away.

Tang Mingfei instinctively curled up in mid-air. This was a combat method taught by Hua Lingyou: when losing stability in mid-air, tighten your joints to prevent them from being torn apart, and use the chip to protect yourself. This method can be used to deal with the continuous spell attacks from magical girls.

Tang Ming learned very well, and Hua Lingyou was very satisfied. Then she teleported above Tang Ming and sat down heavily on him. There was no other way; his limbs were all incredibly sharp crystal blades, so it was better to be gentle with her disciple.

Tang Ming plummeted downwards like a purple sphere, his entire body spinning wildly. Though disoriented, he calmly activated his alien energy, layers of crystals rising to stabilize his form. Looking closely, he saw his captain, his leg broken and collapsed on the ground, lying directly below him.

The captain's face was contorted with rage, his features twisted together. The loss of his life force exposed his senses to the air, and the alien substance could no longer protect him. In order to stop the bleeding, it also violently drained the energy from his body.

As one thing diminished while the other gained strength, the captain's large shields could no longer be maintained, and the chip retracted back into his arms.

The next moment, Tang Ming grabbed and ripped off one of his arms using the momentum of the impact. Tang Ming's impact also sent him flying more than ten meters, and he rolled several times on the ground, looking utterly pathetic.

Hua Lingyou looked surprised, not expecting Tang Ming to improve so quickly. No, his calm and skillful demeanor was even more effortless than what she had taught him.

Is it really... the powerful figure the boss was talking about?

Seeing that Tang Ming was about to continue the pursuit, Hua Lingyou rushed over, grabbed the captain's body, and rolled to dodge Tang Ming's follow-up attack. After getting close to the captain, she disguised her key positions again, and even got herself battered, without revealing her alien form as a "void beast" rather than a symbiote.

"Captain, are you still alive?"

Hua Lingyou patted the captain's face, looked at his mangled body, and revealed tears of despair—tears can also be imitated by alien matter.

The captain wasn't fatally wounded, so of course he wasn't dead yet, but everyone knew that with his weak aura, it was impossible for him to escape under the nose of the "Void Beast".

"I...we probably can't leave."

He struggled to lift his head; the alien substance in his chest had shattered, revealing fragile skin, and the remaining alien substance was rapidly repairing the broken wound.

Their gazes fell on Tang Ming, who was walking slowly toward them, step by step, preparing to deliver the final blow.
