Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

"If you have something this good, Tingxue, why didn't you take it out and let Youyou use it?"

Seeing this, Qin Huanyu asked a question, somewhat puzzled.

"it's useless."

Before Yuan Tingxue could explain, Yi Youyou spoke up directly:

"The spiritual energy that this pill rapidly restores is ultimately different from my own spiritual energy... It's fine for alleviating my own spiritual energy depletion symptoms, but using it in battle can easily cause my abilities to go out of control. I need to meditate deeply and completely absorb it to transform it into my own spiritual energy."

"So that's it..."

Qin Huanyu then realized that she still knew too little about these things from the ancient school.

On the other side, when Yuan Tingxue wanted to help Wu Xiqun recover her strength, she was surprised to find that Wu Xiqun had already sat up on her own, and her short, labored breathing had stopped... She had only been lying on the ground for a few minutes, and she had already recovered most of her energy.

"Is this the power of a hero? Amazing!"

Qin Huanyu and Yi Youyou were both somewhat surprised.

"...Good sisters, please don't laugh at me."

Wu Xiqun, however, looked dejected.

"My hero power awakening level is still not high enough, and my control skills are not good enough... Not to mention comparing with my ancestor, even my grandmother when she was young could have blown that octopus head apart."

boom!

Just as the group was about to chat for a bit to lighten the mood, they heard another loud bang coming from the direction of the main hall of the palace.

Whoosh.

Then another beam of white light flew over from the main hall of the palace and merged into Qin Huanyu's body, whose expression had changed drastically.

"What happened over there?" x3

The other three women all looked at Qin Huanyu.

"It's that bastard Erica!"

Qin Huanyu gritted her teeth and gave a brief explanation of Erica's situation:

"I couldn't kill her completely either, so I used the power of the Holy Maiden that I just obtained a few days ago to trap her. But she just forcibly broke free of my restraints and seems to have suddenly become very strong... Sister Zero and Bai Ling alone might not be able to defeat her, we need to go and provide support!"

"My stupid sister is there too!"

Yuan Tingxue's expression also changed, and she gave Qin Huanyu and the others an apologetic look:

"Excuse me, I'll be going now."

Without waiting for Qin Huanyu and the others' reply, Yuan Tingxue rushed towards the main hall of the palace, leaving Qin Huanyu full of doubt.

"Didn't she and Bai Xue have a very bad relationship?"

"No matter how bad their relationship is, she's still her own sister."

Yi Youyou rolled her eyes at Qin Huanyu and struggled to her feet as well:

"Let's go check it out."

The three of them hurriedly headed towards the main hall of the palace, where they encountered Nangong Yue on the way.

All of Nangong Yue's previous drones were destroyed by the Octopus Archbishop. Knowing that staying at the battlefield would only be a hindrance, she had been trying to mobilize the nearest troops to support the palace after escorting the Empress and the Grand Secretaries into the secret chamber.

She herself was a member of the military, and with the temporary authorization from the Queen and the Grand Secretary, she quickly completed a series of certification procedures.

Several fighter jets have already taken off from the military base closest to the capital and will be able to reach the palace in a few minutes to provide support, which is good news.

The four of them then traveled together and quickly arrived at the main hall of the palace. There they saw Yuan Tingxue being swatted away by the enemy like a fly, spitting out a lot of blood in the air. She landed right next to Yuan Baixue, who was also seriously injured and unconscious, and convulsed a couple of times before passing out.

The battle here was extremely fierce. Female members of the Investigation Bureau and the Internal Security were lying on the ground, most of them seriously injured and unconscious, and a few unlucky ones had already lost their breath.

The only ones still holding on were Zero and Bai Ling, a human and a snake. Bai Ling once again revealed her true form and fought.

Their opponent, however, was a gigantic black mud monster that was 10 meters tall.

Chapter 179 After a thousand years, the sword of the hero reappears!

What happened here?

While Wu Xiqun and Ling were holding back the black mud monster, Qin Huanyu and Yi Youyou were also helping Bai Ling move the wounded to a safer place while asking questions.

"I'm not entirely clear on the specifics either."

Bai Ling used one side of her snake body to coil around three wounded soldiers, carrying them while she smiled bitterly:

"At the time, everyone was cooperating with me to fight the enemies in the square. At the beginning of the battle, it went very smoothly. I had a lot of fun killing and got at least 20 kills."

"But just when we thought victory was assured, the remaining enemies suddenly screamed and fell down, turning into black mud as if they had melted, and flew into the hall."

"Sister Ling and I quickly chased after it, and saw that the black mud had merged into one, turning into this monster... It's very strong, and everyone was injured."

"Ouch!"

Just then, a white figure crashed down amidst a cry of pain, bouncing on the ground – it was Wu Xiqun, who had been sent flying by the black mud monster.

"Your Highness?"

Qin Huanyu was about to step forward to help her up, but Wu Xiqun immediately stood up again, her beautiful eyes filled with anger. She patted her dirty dress and rushed forward once more.

"Sister Yu, why don't you go help out too? We can handle things here."

Bai Ling quickly advised.

"Ok."

With only Wu Xiqun and Ling, it was indeed very difficult to even hold back the enemy, so Qin Huanyu had no choice but to join the battle as well.

However, Qin Huanyu is currently in very poor condition, with injuries all over her body. Her armor is temporarily unusable due to damage to the internal circulation system, and her Kanglong Mace is also corroded and damaged, requiring repair.

Qin Huanyu could only use the arc rifle to shoot at it from a distance, and found that it was indeed ineffective... If this black mud monster was also weak to lightning, Yuan Tingxue could have soloed it and wouldn't have suffered such a crushing defeat.

So Qin Huanyu used the power of the Holy Maiden to conjure a white, long-handled weapon that looked similar to a trident. While Wu Xiqun and Ling were holding them off, she circled around to the back of the black mud monster and stabbed it.

The attack went surprisingly smoothly; the white-light long-handled weapon easily pierced the black mud monster's body and even dug out a large chunk of black mud from it.

But the black mud monster showed no signs of injury. It turned around and threw a punch. The speed wasn't fast, but the power was strong. Qin Huanyu could only turn the white light of the Saint Maiden's power into a shield to block, but she was knocked away along with the monster.

After regrouping and rejoining the battle, Qin Huanyu fought several more rounds and roughly figured out the situation of the black mud monster.

It is very strong, not fast, and has extremely strong vitality. Unlike the Octopus Archbishop, it does not have a body of pure iron, but it can recover quickly no matter what kind of injury it suffers. The black mud is smelly and poisonous.

Many of the Investigation Bureau members and Internal Security personnel who collapsed were poisoned after their bodies were contaminated with black mud while attacking the black mud monster. The main reason why Zero and Bai Ling were able to hold on until now is that one of them, a nun and the other a doctor, had relatively high poison resistance.

After the three of them managed to hold off the black mud monster for a few minutes, the roar of the fighter jet engines grew louder and louder in the air, and the reinforcements finally arrived.

"You guys stand down!"

Wu Xiqun suddenly unleashed a powerful force once again, single-handedly holding off the black mud monster, while simultaneously issuing orders to Qin Huanyu and Ling.

Qin Huanyu and Ling exchanged a silent glance, neither of them trying to be brave, and quickly distanced themselves.

The next second, with a whooshing sound, several missiles fell from the sky.

Boom boom boom boom!

A burst of flames and explosions followed, with flashes of electricity amidst the blasts. This was a combined bombardment of high-explosive incendiary bombs and plasma missiles, a tried-and-true tactic used by the military to deal with the bizarre and malevolent.

The main hall of the palace was shattered in the explosion, and the luxurious building was reduced to burning ruins.

A figure moved with incredible speed and left before the explosion, retreating back to Qin Huanyu and Ling's side, panting heavily. It was Wu Xiqun, who had just unleashed a burst of power.

Only her strength could briefly suppress the black mud monster, and only her speed could allow her to evacuate to a safe area before the missile exploded. And so it was; aside from her face being slightly blackened by the blast, Wu Xiqun was unharmed.

The black mud monster was hit by multiple missiles and is currently in a state of uncertainty amidst towering flames and billowing black smoke.

"What exactly is this black mud monster?"

Taking this opportunity, Qin Huanyu inquired about enemy intelligence from the knowledgeable patrol officer, Ling.

Unexpectedly, Ling also frowned, seemingly not recognizing the black mud monster. Wu Xiqun, however, pondered for a moment before saying uncertainly:

"It seems to be the Shadow Demon, the trump card of the White Eagle Federation's extraordinary power, a creation of the pinnacle of black magic. It was the one that led the assassination of the Empress Dowager during the War of Resistance against Japan, causing the complete annihilation of the inner guards responsible for protecting the Empress Dowager at the time."

"So it was Shadow Fiend."

Upon hearing Wu Xiqun's words, Ling, who was standing nearby, showed a look of sudden realization:

“I’ve seen its information in the Bureau of Investigation’s database, but its form is not fixed, so I couldn’t think of it at the moment.”

After thinking for a moment, Zero added:

"If the Bureau of Investigation's information is correct, there are two very troublesome aspects to this Shadow Fiend."

"The first point is something you should have already felt: it has a very strong vitality and is very difficult to kill completely. Even if it is reduced to dust, it can reassemble and be reborn."

"The second point is its stealth. It can divide itself into many parts and hide them on other people without attracting the attention of superhumans, and secretly infiltrate various places to carry out assassinations... It used this method to assassinate Her Majesty the Empress during the War of Resistance against Japan. I didn't expect it to use the same trick again today."

"Hmph, the White Eagle Federation is indeed a wolf in sheep's clothing, its wicked intentions never die!"

A cold glint flashed in Wu Xiqun's eyes:

"This matter won't end here!"

During the short time the three were talking, the flames and black smoke from the missile explosion finally dissipated.

Sure enough, the Shadow Fiend's black mud body was blasted everywhere and boiled by the high temperature, but it was not completely dead. The black mud residue was gathering at a visible speed, and it was estimated that it would merge back into one in a few minutes, becoming the black mud monster it was before.

"...It seems the equivalent is still not enough."

Qin Huanyu sighed and turned to look at Nangong Yue, who was helping to move the wounded along with Yi Youyou and Bai Ling:

"Is there even stronger firepower support, Yuebao?"

“Stronger firepower support, of course, but…”

Nangong Yue shrugged with a wry smile:

"This is the imperial palace. More firepower will inevitably cause more damage, and there are many wounded soldiers here who are unable to move. Increasing firepower may wipe out the enemy completely, but the number of wounded soldiers who die in the crossfire is likely to be more than the number who die in the enemy attack."

"That's it..."

Qin Huanyu also frowned, unable to think of a good solution for the time being.

Shadow Fiend's Black Mud Body has little resistance and will crumble easily when attacked.

However, it cannot be killed unless all the black mud is completely eliminated at the material level, and to do so would require at least thermobaric weaponry.

Bombing a royal palace littered with wounded soldiers and filled with dignitaries and foreign guests with thermobaric weapons? Even the most daring soldier wouldn't dare give such an order; no one could bear the consequences.

"...Perhaps I have a way to kill it completely."

After a long silence, Wu Xiqun suddenly spoke, her gaze towards Qin Huanyu somewhat strange:

"If my hero power can be further awakened, I will be able to kill it, but I can't do it on my own... I need Sister Yu's help."

"Your Highness, please give your orders."

Qin Huanyu didn't think too much about it for a moment and readily agreed.

However, Nangong Yue's expression suddenly turned somewhat unpleasant:

"The method you mentioned, Skirt Skirt, wouldn't it be...that one?"

"That's the one."

Wu Xiqun nodded, glanced at the others who were equally curious, and then looked at Qin Huanyu, whose expression was strange as if she had already guessed something:

“In our Eastern Divine Continent, there has been a special bloodline since ancient times that can make any bloodline power stronger, and Sister Yu possesses this bloodline... If I use a secret technique to absorb that bloodline power from Sister Yu now, perhaps my Hero Power can be further awakened and become strong enough to kill the Shadow Demon.”

"Secret technique..."

Nangong Yue's face turned even uglier:

"That secret technique is..."

"I'm sorry, Sister Yue."

Wu Xiqun quickly stepped forward and grabbed Nangong Yue's hand:

"I know this is a bit unfair to you, but as a princess and the future empress, I must do everything in my power to protect my people! Will you, as my princess consort and future queen, firmly support me no matter what I do?"

"...Understood, I will support you, Skirt."

Nangong Yue's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face:

"Don't worry, I won't blame you or Ayu. The only one who will bear my wrath is our true enemy!"

"Sister Yue, it's so wonderful that you think this way..."
