An Lushan's cloud-riding flight method has a maximum speed of only about 200 kilometers per hour, which is far inferior to Qin Huanyu's battle armor, which can already fly at supersonic speeds.
However, Qin Huanyu did not use her maximum speed to shake off An Lushan. Instead, she kept her speed at around 250 kilometers per hour, circling An Lushan in the air, focusing on defense and evasion, and occasionally retaliating with her pistol.
In a battle of this magnitude, the firepower of a pistol was completely useless. The bullets couldn't even penetrate An Lushan's black leather corset, only making her even more furious. She continuously unleashed spells in various forms of black smoke, seemingly suppressing Qin Huanyu.
Qin Huanyu may seem to be at a disadvantage, but she is actually quite pleased.
She understood a bit about the feeling of Lei Mingming dominating the battlefield alone during the Great Patriotic War. As the only one on the scene with supersonic flight-level maneuverability, the feeling of completely controlling the rhythm of the battle was amazing.
She never confronted An Lushan head-on, controlled her speed to keep An Lushan in the dust, and occasionally raided the ogre tribes that were left with only elderly ogres and ogre cubs, making the young and strong ogres chasing her scream in anger.
Soon, the entire Ghost Realm was thrown into chaos by Qin Huanyu, with An Lushan constantly hurling insults at her in a seductive voice:
"You spineless coward, can you stop running? Didn't you say you were going to save your comrades who were almost cooked by me? Then face me! What's the point of you running away?"
"I'm a woman, I'm inherently spineless."
Qin Huanyu didn't care at all, and even provocatively said in a light tone:
"This is your territory. How stupid would I be to fight you head-on? You're not as fast as me anyway. Once I've exhausted your stamina, I can do whatever I want to you. My armor uses cutting-edge technology comparable to nuclear power. How long can your spiritual energy last?"
"...Fine, fine, so you're going to play this game? Trying to wear me down?"
An Lushan's black leather bodice heaved a few times, and she laughed in exasperation:
"Then I'll grant your wish... I want to see who will be the first to collapse from exhaustion."
She certainly had reason to be confident, after all, she was the lord of the Ghost Realm, and the power of the entire Ghost Realm was her backup energy source. She wasn't afraid of even having to compete with a nuclear reactor in terms of energy consumption.
But Qin Huanyu's true purpose was never to wage a war of attrition. She even took advantage of An Lushan's speech to suddenly approach and use a light blade conjured by the power of the Holy Maiden to launch a sneak attack on An Lushan.
Qin Huanyu had originally planned to take something from An Lushan as a medium for the curse, but An Lushan's defensive magic was quite powerful; the black smoke shield completely blocked the Holy Maiden's light blade.
This sneak attack infuriated An Lushan even more. She glared at Qin Huanyu and stopped cursing. Her various evil spells became even more fierce. Even if Qin Huanyu diverted some of her attacks to the ogres below, she didn't care.
The battle between the two intensified, with An Lushan herself and the vast majority of the young and middle-aged demons completely captivated by Qin Huanyu.
Almost no one noticed that a beautiful figure wearing a cheongsam and carrying a medicine box walked to the front of the stone fortress as if taking a stroll, and walked towards Bai Ling and the others who were bound by evil magic chains.
When they were at least 20 meters away from Bai Ling and the others, Ling Lan was finally spotted. A fat, big-eared boar demon who looked just like Pigsy surrounded Ling Lan with more than 10 ogres, drooling over her fair and tender skin.
"……Why."
Lily of the Valley sighed, somewhat helplessly saying:
"I'm just a doctor. I'm here to save lives. I don't like fighting... If you want to fight, why don't you go find Ayu over there?"
Neither the pig demons nor the ogres spoke, but they clearly understood human language, their faces displaying cruelty and mockery.
"...It seems you don't want to fight with Ayu, then there's nothing I can do."
Linglan gently shook her head, then, as if she hadn't seen the encirclement, continued walking leisurely toward Bai Ling and the others.
The two ogres grinned and pounced, reaching out to grab Linglan, intending to tear off pieces of flesh from her body and stuff them into their mouths.
But before they could finish reaching out, their savage grins turned to terror, and they let out a mournful wail. They collapsed helplessly, their flesh and blood decaying and rotting at an alarming rate. Within seconds, they were completely absorbed into the earth, leaving no trace of their existence.
Chapter 198 The Medium is in Hand
The remaining ogres were terrified by the way the two ogres had died, and their hands and feet went cold.
The pig demon resembling the second senior brother staggered back several steps, stammering in human language with a face full of terror:
"You...you...you witch, what kind of sorcery are you using?"
"...Aren't you the monster?"
Lily of the Valley tilted her head, amused, as she looked at the pig demon, then glanced around at the ogres who were retreating under her gaze:
"I've already said, I'm just a doctor, here to save lives, I have no interest in fighting... If you insist on fighting, you can go find Ayu over there! Who agrees, who disagrees?"
Sure enough, no ogres dared to object this time. They ran faster than rabbits encountering wolves, scattering in all directions, fearing that Lily of the Valley might change her mind and merge them into the earth as well.
Intelligent demons are difficult to deal with because they are cunning and difficult to hunt down repeatedly with the same traps and tricks.
Intelligent demons are also easy to deal with, because they are prone to fear and their morale collapses when faced with strange and powerful forces, leaving them with less than one-tenth of their fighting strength.
The abilities that Linglan had just displayed were already eerie and powerful enough to terrify the demons. Since Anlushan wasn't around, the demons had no reason to fight desperately, and even though they knew Linglan had come to rescue people, they all kept their distance.
Linglan maintained a calm smile on her face, but inwardly she breathed a sigh of relief.
She wasn't lying; she really is just a doctor and not good at fighting.
As a bizarre entity that is essentially a conceptual entity of "classical medicine," Suzuran's extraordinary ability is only one: healing, a healing that can bring the dead back to life and heal bones.
From a scientific perspective, this therapeutic ability is actually a molecular-level ability to recombine substances, but it is only effective on living organisms.
The method by which Linglan instantly killed the two ogres was to reverse her own power, breaking down the two creatures known as ogres into molecules and merging them into the earth.
This ability is powerful enough that no matter how many demons charge at Suzuran, they will all meet the same fate as those two ogres.
However, this ability only works on living beings. If the demons all use projectiles like catapults or javelins for ranged attacks, Suzuran will be the one to run away.
After scaring away the demons in front of the stone fortress, Linglan quickly arrived at Bailing's side.
The three people who were captured after their car overturned and defeated were not only tightly bound by evil chains, but also seemed to be under some kind of curse, as they were all unconscious.
However, this was no challenge for Suzuran. Without Anlushan maintaining them, the magical chains were quite fragile, and Suzuran tore them open with her bare hands as if she were unpacking a package.
The coma curse was even simpler. All injuries and illnesses were her specialty. She simply opened the eyelids of the three people one by one, pondered for a few seconds with her chin in her hand, and then took out a sachet and let the three of them smell it in turn.
"Ugh~~ It smells so bad~~ It smells like Sister Yu's feet after patrolling all day in tight boots and thick black stockings without washing them!"
Bai Ling woke up immediately, pinching her nose with a look of disgust.
She then quickly realized her situation:
"I remember I was careless for a moment and that bad woman knocked me down and grabbed me... Teacher? What are you doing here? Are you alone?"
"I can't save you by myself... After all, I'm just a doctor, not good at fighting."
Linglan smiled and shook her head, then took out a sachet and handed it to Bai Ling:
“Ayu is here too. She’s playing with that wicked woman who grabbed you like a dog. Hurry up and help me wake them up too.”
"oh oh……"
Bai Ling quickly took the sachet and skillfully placed it gently near Hua Heshang Chenghai's mouth and nose. On the other side, Linglan was doing the same thing to Miss Zheyuan.
"It stinks!" x2
Cheng Hai and Miss Zhe Yuan were also quickly awakened, and their reactions were different.
Cheng Hai calmed down after muttering a few Buddhist scriptures, while Miss Zhe Yuan tried to attack with her sword while half-awake.
Fortunately, Linglan was prepared and touched Miss Zheyuan's arm in advance, interrupting Miss Zheyuan's attack. The pain also helped her to fully wake up.
A small number of monsters, including boar-like creatures, and hundreds of ogres were still watching the four people from a distance near the stone fortress, but none of the monsters dared to approach easily... unless they could figure out the secret of Lily of the Valley's abilities or Anlushan returned and forced them to obey.
With the combined strength of the defeated trio and Suzuran, they were not afraid of these demons, but the sheer number of these demons was not something they could easily defeat.
"What should we do now? Go help Ayu deal with that wicked woman?"
Bai Ling once again drew the water blade of the Jade Spirit Sword, eager to try it out. Her previous defeat and capture clearly made her very unwilling and she wanted to get revenge.
"Please don't... Even if we go, we'll only cause trouble for Ayu."
Linglan quickly shook her head and glared at her foolish apprentice:
"Ayu can fly, can you? Without Ayu's mobility, we might be captured again when facing An Lushan and hundreds of demons, making Ayu hesitant to act... Are you willing to lose face in front of Ayu again?"
"Goo!"
Bai Ling cried out in surprise, thought carefully for a moment, and nodded rather dejectedly:
"Teacher, you're right... So what should we do? We can't just slink away from the Ghost Realm like this, can we? I'm so unwilling to accept that."
"We're not going to run away... We can still help Ayu, or even solve everything here before Ayu does."
Lily of the Valley chuckled and shook her head, glancing at the stone fortress not far away, her eyes narrowing:
"Ling'er, you must often use forensic techniques when you're investigating cases, right? Do you have any forensic or trace evidence tools on you right now? The kind that can collect hair or other biological residues."
"Of course I brought them! These are all essential items for my work as an investigator!"
Bai Ling nodded quickly, slightly parted the slit in her Hanfu skirt, and showed Linglan the small tool bag sewn inside her skirt:
"Is there anything I can do for you, Master?"
"It's fine that you brought it... Come here."
Linglan waved to Bailing, and whispered a few words in her ear after Bailing came closer.
"I understand!"
Bai Ling's eyes lit up immediately, and without waiting for the other two to react, she rushed into the stone castle where An Lushan lived.
This scene caused the demons watching from afar to become agitated once again.
They were indeed very wary of Lily of the Valley's abilities, but they couldn't just stand by and watch Anlushan's residence be invaded... It wasn't that they were particularly loyal, but rather that they feared Anlushan would return and kill them in retaliation.
"Cover Ling'er!"
Linglan immediately whispered to Chenghai and Zheyuan:
"As long as Ling'er succeeds, the victory will be assured."
"...Understood." x2
Miss Zheyuan knows Linglan. Although she doesn't know Linglan's true identity, she knows that Linglan has a close relationship with the Investigation Bureau and was her savior back then.
This was the first time Cheng Hai had seen Ling Lan in person, but he already knew that Ling Lan was Bai Ling's master and had a close relationship with Qin Huan Yu, so he did not refuse Ling Lan's order.
The three of them immediately took up positions in front of the stone fortress.
The ogres became even more agitated, and after a few minutes, they finally could not restrain themselves and, led by several ancient demons, launched an attack on the stone fortress.
Having learned from past mistakes, the ogres were much more cautious this time, and more than ten of them charged at Suzuran and her companions from different angles at top speed.
But it's completely useless. As long as it's still a carbon-based life form, unless its spiritual strength is higher than that of Lily of the Valley, it will definitely be broken down into molecules once it enters the range of Lily of the Valley's reversed ability.
The instant annihilation of more than ten ogres reignited the fear among the restless demons. However, some demons were intelligent, and one dog-headed monster seemed to have sensed something, quickly shouting:
"Don't be afraid! That witch's ability isn't invincible... See? Those guys who died and disappeared didn't completely vanish! Their weapons are still there! The witch's ability is likely only effective against flesh and blood, and has a certain range limitation, otherwise why wouldn't she just kill us all? Everyone, use ranged attacks together!"
Linglan could no longer remain calm. She frowned and retreated behind Zheyuan and Chenghai.
A barrage of stones and javelins quickly rained down, along with a few fireballs and venom balls conjured by other ancient demons.
Miss Zheyuan swung her curved sword in front of her with impenetrable force, forming a net of blade light that clattered and deflected half of the attacks.
Cheng Hai took a deep breath, his skin glowing slightly with golden light, and used his indestructible body to form a human wall for Ling Lan.
Both of them were doing their best in defense, but there were just too many attacking demons, and Zhe Yuan and Cheng Hai's physical strength could not support them to keep going.
Two minutes later, the blade light that Zhe Yuan swung became noticeably sparser, going from being able to block half of the attacks to being able to block less than one-third.
The pressure was instantly placed on Cheng Hai. His Indestructible Body was indeed very durable, but it also had its limits. Moreover, his Indestructible Body could only be maintained for about 3 minutes, and it would be even shorter when subjected to high-intensity continuous attacks.
Cheng Hai couldn't hold on any longer. The faint golden light on his skin instantly went out, and his body was pierced by more than 10 holes in an instant by the javelin. His head was also slightly deformed by the stones thrown at him.
Normally, Cheng Hai would most likely die on the spot from such an injury, but right now he has Suzuran behind him, who is currently the most powerful healer in the world.
Like a leader comforting a junior employee, Linglan patted Chenghai on the shoulder, and Chenghai felt his body, which had been exhausted, surge with boundless strength again. The wounds caused by the spears and stones were healing at an ultra-fast speed that was visible to the naked eye.
"Hmph, within my power, as long as I don't agree, no one will die. Even if you're beaten into a pulp, I can still pull you up."
Linglan gave a rather smug snort, and then used the same method to heal Miss Zheyuan, who had also been hit by two spells on the other side:
"Alright, I've instantly healed your injuries with my ability, and I've also enhanced your strength. Let's go!"
Miss Zheyuan and Chenghai exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat helpless, and could only grit their teeth and stand in front of Linglan once again.
As it turns out, as long as the healing is strong enough, the damage output can also hold the line. No matter how many times Miss Orihime is hit in a vital spot, Suzuran can heal her back with her healing ability so she can continue to withstand the damage.
Cheng Hai also suffered greatly from the continuous concentrated attacks of the demons, but the pain they both endured was not in vain.
Bai Ling emerged from the stone fortress, carrying a small plastic bag containing a few black hairs and skin scraps. She nodded excitedly to Linglan.
"It's all done, Master."
"it is good!"
Linglan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said:
"Let's go! Let's retreat to a less spacious area to avoid being surrounded, then contact Ayu!"
The four men immediately retreated while fighting, and soon left the area of the stone fortress, hiding in the mountains with lots of trees.
