Ladia lowered her head in silence, leaning on her Moonlight Greatsword to keep standing. She gazed at the city, a sea of ​​crimson, as if it were covered by a crimson ocean…

This time... she still managed to protect nothing. She sheathed her sword again and ran in the direction where Emperor Sirius had gone.

……

Looking at Mu Xishuang's headless corpse, Bai Aina began to extract the backup Nen energy from Nuen's body. At the same time, she released her senses to confirm whether the headless corpse was truly dead or just lying on the ground pretending to be dead.

And this constant red light hasn't stopped yet. Is it because of the self-regulating magic array? Maybe we'll have to tear down the floor?

Energy activity ceased…heartbeat…no…no nerve electrical transmission was also imperceptible. No, she had to go and destroy the evidence first; leaving the body around could always lead to unforeseen problems. Bai Aina immediately stepped forward, attempting to spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm extracted from stomach acid to directly turn Mu Xishuang's corpse into pus.

Mu Xishuang was a respectable person in life, so there's no need to whip her corpse; just spit on her and it will dissolve into nothingness.

"!" Bai Aina immediately stopped in her tracks, because Mu Xishuang's headless corpse slowly stood up, and strands of seven-colored light gathered together, shaping and molding a head on her headless neck, and the flesh and blood were regenerating little by little.

"Fuck you! It really came back to life! It wants to be reborn at a time like this?!" Without saying a word, Bai Aina raised her right hand, and dozens of rhomboid spikes made of psychic energy shot out from the exoskeleton armor on her right arm, directly hitting the seven-colored light.

Emperor Sirius, who was no longer entangled with Latia, rushed over immediately and stepped forward to block the incoming rhomboid spikes, protecting Mu Xishuang.

"That bizarre method of creating clones, I really underestimated you." Mu Xishuang stretched her neck after regenerating her head and said calmly. "It's been a long time since I've felt this way... my head was smashed so badly that not even flesh and blood were left."

"Wait, I'll smash your head in next." Glancing into the distance, Bai Aina noticed that Steve had completely suppressed the black ball. His torpedo-like punches deformed the basketball-sized black sphere repeatedly, almost turning it into a pancake.

Seeing that Mu Xishuang had already retreated to the side, the pitch-black sphere immediately flew towards her in a disheveled manner, even abandoning the half of its torn-off tongue.

"You're really useless... You actually got beaten up like this." Mu Xishuang seemed to have forgotten that her head had just been smashed open, and touched the black sphere that had become round and plump again. She had inscribed the principles of the spell on it, so that it could also receive the blessing of the land alchemy array.

With the blessing of the Earth Transmutation Array, the jet-black sphere, which had been severely damaged, quickly recovered. It turned towards Steve, as if to provoke him, and licked its own body with its crimson tongue.

“Lick your own body like that, do you think you're a dog…” Baina asked softly when she saw Steve standing beside her again. “Is this a transmutation circle?”

"I'm afraid so. There's been absolutely no news from headquarters." Steve's expression was grave, but his boxing stance remained unchanged. Even Mu Xishuang, standing opposite him, couldn't help but nod in agreement upon seeing this.

"Hmm... I understand." Bai Aina turned her attention back to Mu Xishuang, recalling the situation just now, and said with narrowed eyes, "So this means that as long as the stones aren't used up, we can't kill this guy, right?"

“No, if not even a trace of her body remains, even with the help of the Earth Transmutation Array, there's no way to bring her back,” Steve replied.

The opponent's energy reserves are probably not low either, and with the support of the National Transformation Array, trying to fight a protracted war with them would be more like suicide.

"So, have you two finished your discussion?" Mu Xishuang didn't seem to care about their conversation; in her opinion, victory was already assured. "To be honest, this is also my first time refining such a large-scale Red Stone Spirit Orb, especially one like this that can expand its influence by consuming energy. It's my first time..."

Before her excited explanation could finish, a girl wielding a moonlight greatsword plummeted from the sky. The restrained, cool moonlight transformed into a waterfall, sweeping down. The name she uttered, clashing with the blade, abruptly interrupted her speech.

"Mu Xishuang!!!"

Chapter Seventy-One: The Demonic Sound of Subduing Intelligence

"Qiu Shuang! You traitorous disciple, you actually poisoned your master... Pfft! Why can't the Myriad Poisons Scripture be refined?! How is this possible! You actually managed to create a strange poison that I can't resist, how is this possible!"

"Because this is a new type of poison made by combining the Three Soul-Trapping Poison with the Three Paths Gu, it would be too unreasonable if even a Golden Core cultivator couldn't kill it. Master, you don't need to look at me like that. This was a gift from Senior Little Sword Immortal. Our relationship is quite good."

"Li Qiushuang, why did you harm me... Back then, I saw that you had gone mad from practicing your cultivation technique, but your aptitude was excellent, so I guided you into the Reincarnation Space, taught you the method of immortality, taught you the mindset a cultivator should have, and invited you to join the [True Knowledge] battle group... And yet you turned around and did this to me!"

"That's true, but Master once taught me the Three Cardinal Guides and Five Constant Virtues, and that human morality is utter nonsense. Only by directly asking what one's heart desires can one follow the right path of cultivators. If anything goes against one's conscience, one should be killed. Therefore, for the sake of my understanding, I beg Master to surrender and obediently hand over my head, is that alright?"

"You! If you do this, the [True Knowledge] Chapter will not let a traitor like you get away with it!"

"Forget it, Master. [True Knowledge] won't waste so much effort on an old waste who's been a Golden Core cultivator for eight hundred years. They'd be better off thinking about how to cause trouble for [Cross]."

"You! How could I possibly have chosen a treacherous disciple like you who betrayed his master and ancestors...!"

"Very well, these three kowtows will repay your kindness to me. The first is to repay your kindness in guiding me into the cycle of reincarnation. Although you are hoping to cultivate a new body because your lifespan is nearing its end, and then continue to be a useless person."

"The second is to return the method of immortality that you taught me. Although you did it to create a suitable physical body, I would not be who I am today without you."

"The third is to repay the kindness of you in teaching me the proper mindset of a cultivator, although it is for brainwashing so that there will be no excessive resistance when I try to possess your body in the future."

"You...you knew everything?! Please...please let me go, Qiushuang, I just want to live...we were master and disciple..."

"That won't do, Master. Even setting aside the principle of repaying debts of gratitude, you want to live, but I... don't I also want immortality?"

……

With a single upward flick of her wrist, Mu Xishuang gently spread two fingers to catch the falling Moonlight Greatsword. The blue flames and the deep inner light clashed and contrasted, and the extreme energy collision unfolded between her small fingers and the sword's edge, exploding into dazzling sparks.

"True Martial Zen - Five-Strike Dolphin Nail Gun!" Bai Aina didn't let the opportunity slip by. She pushed forward with both hands and pulled to the left and right respectively. Then, her right hand, which was condensed with white light, suddenly blasted forward. A pure white dolphin, almost the size of a sperm whale, flew out with a high-pitched cry along with the punch at lightning speed, rushing towards Mu Xishuang.

"Thunderous Annihilation - Invincible Battleship Fist!" Seeing this, Steve also attacked immediately, his blood energy suddenly gathering and then exploding. The martial arts intent transformed into a huge phantom of a battleship behind him, adding astonishing power to this attack.

"You two really don't let any opportunity slip by." Mu Xishuang's fingers gripped the Moonlight Greatsword tightly, preventing it from penetrating even an inch, but at the cost of having no strength left to resist Steve and Bai Aina's attacks.

But the black sphere and Sirius beside her naturally stepped forward, respectively confronting Baiana and Steve. The enormous tongue of the mountain swept across the sky and earth, making the white dolphin, the size of a sperm whale, seem as tiny as a firefly before this attack.

The white dolphin, the size of a sperm whale, suddenly exploded, its massive mountain tongue instantly pulverized by the attack. Even the black ball was blasted fifty meters away, most of its body shattered by the simultaneous burst of force from the five punches.

Seeing the heavily armored Emperor Sirius charging towards him, Steve immediately changed his fist into a finger, and the sword finger formed by his index and middle fingers pierced the armor on his waist and abdomen before the opponent's spiked hammer could hit him.

This technique isn't the renowned Hokuto Shinken, but rather an energy-based anesthesia technique from Jiro's Anesthesia Arts. It's specifically designed to cut off the energy supply to non-flesh-and-blood living beings, forcibly immobilizing them.

Instantly crippling the two rushing reinforcements, Bai Aina twisted in mid-air and charged at Mu Xishuang again. Steve, using the Bagua symbol, bypassed the immobilized Emperor Wolf, gathering all his blood energy in his right hand, the materialized martial arts intent almost transforming into a wolf's head wrapped around his iron fist.

Meanwhile, Latia pressed her sword down forcefully, hoping to buy her two companions time to finish off their opponent and then kill Mu Xishuang.

In this near-certain death situation, Mu Xishuang seized the moment, her thin, closed cherry lips parted slightly, and she uttered the true name of the god.

"Azathoth Azathoth Azathoth Azathoth Azathoth Azathoth!" Before the nail-shaped fist and the wolf-headed fist could land on them, the overlapping invocations of the divine name exploded with a deafening roar, the power contained within the selfless and foolish chant exerted upon the three of them. Azathoth was the true name of the supreme god in the Chaos Court, the commander-in-chief of the Chaos army, and this true name also implied that the foolish chant contained within affected everyone except Mu Xishuang.

The World-Shaking Palm and Garnett's Fist instantly crumbled. Steve, who was using the Bagua Step, slipped and fell to the ground, wailing loudly. Bai Aina, who was in mid-air, landed on the ground, looking around blankly, and then started eating her toes as if no one else was around.

"I dared to slack off until the end, and I was fighting three against one, how could I not have some skills?" Mu Xishuang glanced at the two who had been rendered mentally incapacitated, but didn't pay too much attention to the two who had completely lost the ability to resist. Instead, she tidied up the Latia on her head.

He caught the Moonlight Greatsword with one hand and pinned Latia to the ground. Mu Xishuang unfurled the effects of the Foolish Demonic Sound on her with great interest, observing her expression.

Briefly snapping out of her mental lapse, Latia instinctively tried to struggle, but the Moonlight Greatsword embedded in her chest was so painful that she couldn't even make a sound.

Looking around, not far away were Steve and Baina, who had become mentally challenged. The latter was even covered by an exoskeleton armor, and when she ate her toes, she made an extremely loud rubbing sound, which made her seem very mentally challenged.

"Just like last time, Latia... except this time, I still won." Mu Xishuang looked at Latia, whose face was ashen, and felt incredibly satisfied. Watching the red light continue to spread, her mood improved even more.

But the figure falling in the distance caught her attention.

Chapter 72

Lambda, having also drastically altered her body using the customizable cellular abilities of a perfect being, is no less fast than Baina. Coupled with enhanced bioelectric manipulation, she can use high-voltage electromagnetic pulses to instantly heat the air beneath her feet, creating an air blast strong enough to support her weight, thus enabling high-speed movement, high leaps, and slow descents.

In terms of physical abilities, Lambda can forcibly relieve muscle tension through electric current, greatly enhancing muscle activity. At the same time, he can weaken soreness and pain by altering the microelectronic signals in his body. He can then encase his entire body in an electromagnetic armor using a high-voltage electric field. Combined with his inherent strength and speed, he can unleash power comparable to that of Baina's original form in a short period of time.

That's why Baina felt so comfortable letting Lambda come and hunt down He Sanjin and Alex. A first-class cripple plus a completely useless piece of trash couldn't possibly defeat Λ-11, who possessed the power to control lightning.

Alex understood this perfectly well. He carried He Sanjin and ran like the wind, refusing to stop. He also kept releasing pulse sensors to determine the distance between himself and Lambda. He had clearly seen how Lambda had fought Doflamingo.

Given his own skill level, it was naturally impossible for him to fight Lambda. Alex was very clear about this.

[Attempted remote communication... Communication failed. Manual troubleshooting initiated. Searching for troubleshooting methods.]

Arrival was just a newborn baby, and Lambda was momentarily at a loss as to how to handle the situation, instinctively searching for information.

However, her database was a backup from Newn, containing all sorts of relevant information. Lambda quickly found the solution. She pressed her palm down slightly, and blue arcs of electricity danced at her fingertips, gathering in her palm.

[Search complete, processing method in progress. Non-lethal attack initiated, target... capture alive.]

The lightning javelin flew from his hand, and just being aimed at by that current made Alex feel the hairs on the back of his head stand on end. His instinctive warning made him run for his life, determined not to confront that girl.

"Get out of the way!" He Sanjin could naturally see the astonishing energy locked within that high-voltage current. Although it couldn't compare to Takemikazuchi's attack, it was still an incredibly powerful strike. If Alex were hit by it, he would likely die on the spot.

[Change in the magnetic field of the target life form detected, recording initiated... Recording complete, saved]

"I know!" Alex's body exploded, turning into countless liquids that allowed the lightning spear to narrowly avoid the attack through the gaps between them. He could feel a stinging pain even as the current merely brushed against his skin.

"Well done!" He Sanjin shouted excitedly, but before he could even celebrate, dazzling lightning surged again from Newen's palm after her failed attack. Spheres of lightning formed in her palm, but she didn't launch them immediately.

[Life magnetic field capture in progress... Capture complete, lock established. Parallel lightning strike, commence!]

Several golden lightning orbs, trailing conspicuous arcs of light, hurtled towards Alex. This time, he tried to use the same trick again, attempting to evade Lambda's electric shock by liquefying.

Unexpectedly, the lightning ball that had locked onto Alex's biomagnetic field made a U-turn in mid-air and struck Alex, who had already turned into liquid, with deadly force.

With a scream, Alex transformed back into his original form from the liquid state. He rolled over and stood up again, assuming a fighting stance.

"Enough, you go!" He Sanjin struggled to his feet, forming an outer garment with lightning chakra in an attempt to deflect Lambda's attack. "Leave her to me, Mr. Mercer, you go! I can deflect her attack."

[Unknown method of electricity usage detected, recording initiated. Attack launched simultaneously, move selection in progress... Electric Hand Chop.]

Lambda slowly raised his palm, then swung it down. Golden electricity, accompanied by Nen energy, slashed out from a distance. He Sanjin, already at his limit, was sent flying by this attack, rolling several times on the ground before barely managing to stand up.

Thousands of tentacles, ending everything! The ultimate attack, powerful enough to destroy a street in a single strike, was unleashed, countless black light tentacles surging forth and engulfing Lambda. Lambda released a high-voltage current, turning all the tentacles that tried to entangle him into charcoal, while simultaneously locking onto Alex and He Sanjin's biomagnetic fields to prevent losing them here.

"You...why aren't you leaving yet?!" He Sanjin was slightly taken aback when he saw Alex standing still. Then he stood up hurriedly and couldn't help but push Alex's shoulder with his hand, wanting him to leave quickly.

“I…I’m sorry…” There was no point in saying that anymore, Alex raised his head. His face was shrouded in shadow under the hood, but the sorrow on his face was immediately apparent. “Thank you for taking care of me all this time.”

The merciless punch pierced He Sanjin's chest, and as flesh and bone flew apart, pain surged forth. Despite having long since severed his pain receptors, he felt an unprecedented agony at this moment.

A different Blacklight virus spread across his chest, and the devouring began. He Sanjin wanted to activate his own virus to counterattack, but aside from his serious injuries, even in terms of virus quality alone, his Blacklight virus was inferior to Alex's modified Blacklight virus.

"I..." As if to make his death painless, his sight was lost first, followed by his other four senses. Before He Sanjin could speak, all his senses had completely failed.

“I will live on carrying your memories… I will never forget everything you’ve been through, including how you feel right now.” Alex gave a sudden yank, and He Sanjin was completely reduced to a lump of minced meat, floating around him and being absorbed bit by bit.

"All Nations Shocking Palm!" A high-intensity electric current exploded, turning all the thousands of tentacles into charred remains. Lambda immediately caught up, coldly staring at Alex with his scarlet eyes, while recording everything that had just happened.

[Target 1 killed Target 2...? This is unclear. The situation is being logged and will be discussed. Pursuit begins.]

Before He Sanjin was completely devoured, Lambda snapped his fingers first. The electric current generated by the World Shocking Palm directly pierced through He Sanjin, who had already turned into minced meat, killing him instantly.

Alex devoured He Sanjin's corpse and had no intention of fighting again. Without saying a word, he ran back towards Mu Xishuang's location.

Lambda immediately increased his speed to catch up, but after absorbing He Sanjin and gaining chakra, Alex was also able to use movement ninjutsu such as Body Flicker Technique smoothly. Combined with various special abilities, he barely managed to maintain the distance from his opponent.

Chapter 73 is of course a lie.

Using bullets and descent at high speed, Alex brought Lambda to join the battlefield where Mu Xishuang was. The latter was somewhat surprised to see the arrival of the two, but she simply chanted a divine incantation, which made Lambda turn into a complete idiot along with her.

Ignoring the blonde girl, Mu Xishuang walked up to Alex with interest. She seemed to have noticed something, and finally clicked her tongue in amazement, saying, "That's really good... You finally took this step, didn't you?"

Ignoring Mu Xishuang's malicious sarcasm, Alex could sense the earth-shattering changes taking place in the city. Pale-faced, he pressed on, "Dana...you said you could bring her back, right?"

"About this? Actually, I lied to you." Mu Xishuang shook her head, wondering how this child could believe her so easily. Under the other person's murderous gaze, she said calmly, "As you can see, I've been preparing for this magic array for a long time. How could I possibly spend time doing other things? You didn't even agree sooner."

"..." Alex's hands turned pure black, and a flickering red light shone from his body. His gaze as he stared at Mu Xishuang contained only pure killing intent.

“But that doesn’t necessarily mean it will.” With a snap of her fingers, Mu Xishuang activated her Shadow Projection spell, turning distant objects into a light screen and projecting them to her current location. “Look, Miss Dana is alive and well, isn’t she?”
