In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

Boom boom boom...

A barrage of punches rained down on Xia Mu, causing the cross necklace on his chest to float up and emit a faint glow, continuously channeling holy light into his fists. This also significantly increased the speed at which Xia Mu threw his punches!

One punch!

Ten punches!

A hundred punches!

……

Later, Xia Mu lost count of how many punches he had thrown. Blood flowed from his fists, but the holy light healed them instantly. However, the wounds would tear open again the next second after he threw another punch, and so on in a never-ending cycle!

Under Xia Mu's relentless and desperate attacks, the already torn rock collapsed at a much faster pace, revealing not only the inner cage but also the woman trapped inside, who finally came into Xia Mu's view.

On the other side, the body of that forbidden ghost had already reached a distance of more than ten meters above the mother and daughter, and it might only take a few breaths before it stepped down!

However, Xia Mu's movements did not stop. He continued to mechanically swing his fists, his fists repeatedly striking and retracting, each fist colliding violently with the cage. Blood unknowingly soaked the surface of the cage, flowing along the cage's texture to the top of Ma Yi's head, and then dripping down!

Tick!

In an instant, as the blood dripped onto Ma Yi's body, a ray of light suddenly burst forth from her body, and her eyes slowly opened at that moment!

"Xiamu..."

……

Chapter 184 has stopped!

Hot spring resort.

"Phew, in this weather, all I need is a nice, relaxing shower..."

Having just finished a long day of work, Mikiko emerged from a shower room, drying her hair as she uttered a heartfelt sigh.

She was wrapped in a large white bath towel, which did not conceal her amazing figure. Her graceful curves were even more prominent at this moment, especially her two fair and beautiful legs under the towel, which were like a beautiful painting, making it difficult to look away.

To some extent, Mikiko's state can be described as the shining moment that only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl can have. Everyone who has seen her can't help but wonder how such a beautiful person could be a widowed wife.

Soon, Mikiko walked through the corridor and arrived at the staff rest area. As soon as she entered, she heard a chorus of voices discussing something.

"...This is unbelievable. Isn't this a modern society? How could something like that appear?"

"Yes, I heard that the military and the government have both been mobilized, but they still haven't been able to get in. It's a bit worrying!"

"I wonder when this disaster will end..."

"..."

An elderly woman remarked with emotion, and upon seeing Mikiko enter, she immediately beckoned her to sit down beside her: "Mikiko, come and rest here for a while, don't tire yourself out!"

However, Mikiko seemed not to hear it at that moment. When she saw the black fog on the TV and the subtitles of the report below, she froze on the spot.

"What exactly is this...?"

On the television screen, the camera was recording wisps of black fog over the city. It was clear that the camera was positioned very far away. Whenever a reporter tried to get closer, static would appear, forcing them to step back a few paces to transmit the scene.

In addition, the excited and tense voices of reporters inside continued to emanate: "...Ladies and gentlemen, a full hour has passed since the black fog appeared, but the military has yet to figure out a way to enter it. What will Shibuya Street ultimately become? We'll wait and see..."

Based on the information Mikiko had gathered, the black mist that almost filled the entire frame was clearly something that would appear when Natsuki and the others fought against the demons. The reason she was stunned was because she thought of Natsuki, Kato Yuri, and the others. If she remembered correctly, the place they had gone to was the place in front of her, called Shibuya Street!

In other words...

Thinking of this, Mikiko couldn't help but cover her lips, her eyes welling up with tears. Because she was so surprised, the towel on her body slipped off, revealing her breathtakingly sexy figure. Especially under the light, her skin was shimmering with a hazy glow, making the scene even more picturesque.

Fortunately, the elderly men who witnessed this were all women. Although they didn't know why Mikiko had suddenly acted this way, they still gathered around her with concern, wrapping her towel back around herself and asking about her condition with care.

"Mikiko, are you alright?"

"Is something wrong with your health? You should come here and rest for a while..."

"Yes, Mikiko, you must have had a tough day, or perhaps..."

"..."

Under the concerned inquiries of the elders, Mikiko finally recovered from her dazed state and nodded to them, saying, "I'm sorry to have worried you all..."

Then, her gaze fell on a piece of jewelry on her body, and she noticed that it was emitting a faint glow, as if echoing something in the distance. A white-haired man flashed through Mikiko's mind, and she felt that her worries had lessened considerably.

She recalled that similar scenarios had occurred more than once in the past, but in the end, as long as Xia Mu was present, those issues were always resolved smoothly...

Even so, when Mikiko turned her gaze back to the television, a hint of worry slowly surfaced in her eyes: "Everyone, please come back safely..."

……

Shibuya.

"Hey, Mom, it seems to have stopped..."

Nanako's voice suddenly reached her ears. Kato Yuri, who was embracing her, looked up and saw the terrifying giant object that was about to fall from above, which was strangely suspended in mid-air.

It was only a few meters above the two of them, and Kato Yuri could even clearly see the hideous blood vessels on the giant's skin and the terrifying cracks on its surface.

It was obvious that if they had just waited two more breaths, or even just one more breath, the two women would have been crushed to death by this terrifying behemoth. However, something happened that forced the behemoth to stop, allowing the mother and daughter to survive for a short time.

Just then, Sayuri's voice came through: "Aunt Yuri, Mikiko, we've come to save you!"

As soon as they turned their heads, they saw a girl with pigtails rushing towards them from somewhere. The girl was so fast that their pupils could only see afterimages.

Until the girl hugged him and moved swiftly to another location without slowing down, they finally left the area covered by the giant object above.

After ensuring their safety, Sayuri finally released the two women. Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Phew, I finally got you out of there!"

At this moment, Shiroshima and Rika also ran towards their location. After seeing that the two were safe, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

It has to be said that what just happened was too sudden. They never expected that Kato Yuri and Nanako would suddenly appear in such a dangerous place. If it had been any later, they probably would have had to watch helplessly as two vibrant lives were lost. No matter how many demons they killed, they probably would not have been able to forgive themselves easily!

Fortunately, they managed to save both of them in the end!

“…Sayuri-neechan, Shirashima-neechan, Rika-neechan…”

It wasn't until she was rescued that Nanako seemed to regain some consciousness. After looking at the group, she immediately burst into tears, crying out, "I'm so glad to see you all!"

Sayuri was quite annoyed: "I said, Aunt Yuri, Nanako-chan, what's wrong with you two all of a sudden..."

While she was learning the situation, Shiroshima and Rika had already turned their attention back to the enormous object in front of them, both of them with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Why did this thing suddenly stop?

……

Chapter 185 A New Power

While the girls were wondering what was going on, above the forbidden demon that was slowly recovering from its petrified state, Natsuki looked at the scene before her with an expression of delight that was hard to contain.

Before him, the solid cage had been completely shattered, and Mai was slowly floating into the air. A faint line extended from the ring in her hand and connected to the cross necklace on Xia Mu's chest, conveying a purer and more sacred power.

Looking at Mai now, she is completely different from her previous disheveled appearance. A faint glow is emanating from her surface, and her two pairs of wings are gently flapping, making her look like an angel from legend.

Looking at her again, a pure white robe appeared. In the breeze, the robe swayed gently, revealing her already sexy curves even more gracefully. Golden threads swayed and twirled gently at the edges of the robe, and a sacred aura emanated from her body.

Besides, Mai's biggest change is in her appearance. Not long ago, she looked like a young woman. Even though she was beautiful, you could still see the marks that time had left on her.

But at this moment, even though the person in front of him was undoubtedly Mai, it seemed as if time had rewound several years. Her smooth skin was without a single wrinkle, and her gently swaying eyelashes made her eyes look like the most dazzling stars in the galaxy. Even Natsuki, who was quite familiar with her, couldn't help but stare in amazement when he saw this scene!

"Are you... Mai?"

He couldn't help but ask, but the other person smiled familiarly and uttered words that Xia Mu knew well: "Of course it's me, Xia Mu."

Hearing this, Xia Mu didn't hesitate and rushed towards Mai. The softness she felt and the familiar scent in her breath completely dispelled his doubts. He just wanted to hug her tightly, just like they used to hug each other.

"Very good……"

Mai was initially taken aback, but when she heard the tremor in the man's voice, she raised her arms and hugged Natsuki. The cross necklace and the ring seemed to sense their emotions and emitted a series of light, ethereal sounds, like cheers.

The embrace between the two did not last long. When they separated, Xia Mu whispered to Mai in his arms, "Mai, were you the one who called me just now?"

Mai nodded, raised her palm, and stared at the ring above: "I don't know the specific reason, but I feel that even though my body seems to be dead, my soul keeps seeing your image and voice. The sense of danger of losing my beloved made me awaken this power."

As she spoke, she looked at the man, tilted her head slightly, and lightly touched his lips with hers, smiling gently as she said, "I think, Teacher Natsuki, Mai is now qualified to help you, isn't she?"

Mai couldn't quite explain the changes that had occurred to her, but she felt that after calming down, a continuous stream of power was flowing from the ring, which not only transformed her into her current state but also greatly enhanced her perception. As she was now, she could clearly sense the many other holy artifact holders, just like herself, who were imprisoned in the cage by some kind of power!

So Mai immediately detached herself from Natsuki and said earnestly to him, "Natsuki, I can sense that they still have a chance to be rescued. We must rescue them first!"

Xia Mu frowned, then shook his head: "It's no use. After what just happened, the Holy Light is almost completely depleted—"

Before he could finish speaking, he showed a strange expression. Why was the holy light that had been dormant in his body suddenly surging again, and even showing signs of recovery?

Natsuki looked up abruptly, and Mai was smiling brightly at him: "So you finally figured it out? Although this method is a little embarrassing, Mai is willing to do anything to help Natsuki, including this—"

As she spoke, she moved closer to Natsuki again, and to his surprise, her lips pressed against his. This touch made Natsuki finally realize that Mai's kiss seemed to restore his holy light power!

Without further hesitation, he hugged Mai tightly, and suggestive sounds emanated from between them. In just a moment, Mai's cheeks turned red, and her body began to tremble unconsciously.

Finally, they parted ways. After wiping her mouth, Mai couldn't help but gently rest her hand on the man's chest, saying rather shyly, "Really, couldn't you be a little gentler?!"

Xia Mu chuckled and took Mai's hand in his. The next second, he noticed that the Holy Light power within his body had returned to its full potential. No, not only that, but after the passionate kiss, the Holy Light seemed to have become even stronger. If he had to describe it, the feeling might have surpassed the level of absorbing multiple Soul Crystals!

"Such powerful strength!"

Xia Mu clenched his fist, and pure holy light power surged from all parts of his body. He did not expect that Mai could not only help him restore his power, but also further enhance the holy light!

Although he was not sure how long this enhanced state would last, it should be enough if it was only used in this situation!

Just then, the sound of whistling wind came from behind them. The two turned around and saw Sayuri flapping her wings, holding Shiroshima's hand with one hand and Rika's hand with the other, leading the two of them here.

Shiroshima: "We see Natsuki-sensei! Natsuki-sensei! We've gotten Aunt Yuri and Nanako to safety!"

Rika: "Wait, there's one more person. This familiar feeling... could it be..."

When the two finally landed in the same spot, Sayuri's wings had just turned into specks of light and disappeared. She said with relief:

"Fortunately, I managed to get you two here before I ran out of power. By the way, Teacher Xia Mu, are you alright...?"

At this moment, Mai also sensed that the holy light power within the three girls was about to be exhausted. So, as she walked towards them, she turned back to Natsuki and smiled, "Natsuki, leave the rest to me!"

Xia Mu seemed to realize something, subconsciously covering the corner of her mouth, and said with a strange expression, "Mai, you wouldn't be going to..."
