108: Chapter 108 You... really want to fight me?

"As expected, the older the ginger, the spicier it is..."

Xing Yaoyan patted her head in slight annoyance.

She understood almost instantly why the two demons had lost.

It actually wasn't their fault; it was simply because the other side had a cheat—Senior Hu Wang.

This old fox had seen more things than the two of them combined had eaten grains of rice. He must have figured out their Yao Race species and Innate Talents long ago.

Furthermore, he likely knew their weaknesses inside and out and had already formulated a meticulous plan.

Cat demons are afraid of water. He used this trait along with the information gap regarding Yun Lan's 'Wind-up Frames as Super Armor' to instantly take out Ying Linglong.

At the same time, he used Earth Prison to control Leng Xiaoyue, then waited for Yun Lan to finish his Superpower and gain buffs before they focused their fire on him together.

Because of the time limit on 'Moon Chasing's' rewind, no matter how Leng Xiaoyue rewound time, his final position was always inside the Earth Prison, which was why he was completely suppressed to the point of defeat.

This unexpectedly fast defeat was entirely because that old monster Hu Wang was far too familiar with the Yao Race.

And it must be said, he truly utilized everyone's various Superpower characteristics to their absolute limit.

Heh... he's the old fox I know...

Without pausing for a single moment to mourn her teammates, Xing Yaoyan walked forward a few steps with her hands in her pockets. Her side's Aura, which had seemed to wane due to the defeat of the two demons, suddenly surged upward, even reversing the pressure to suppress the opposing trio.

The surrounding human audience, who had been cheering, suddenly fell silent at this sight.

They subconsciously turned to glance at the two defeated demons below the stage, only to see that their faces held no regret for their loss. Instead, they stared at the demon girl on stage with eyes of worship, as if they weren't worried at all that she would lose.

People watching the live stream online also realized that when they were spamming 'it's in the bag' in the comments just now, not a single member of the Yao Race had refuted them.

At the time, they thought the demons were afraid and didn't dare to watch. Now, seeing the situation on stage, they realized: even so, all the demons still firmly believed their Saintess would win.

Just how strong is she...

All the human spectators began to feel uneasy, and the excitement and joy from gaining the advantage instantly vanished.

Meanwhile, on Qian Mo's side.

With a die showing the number five floating above his head, the yellow-haired boy with bulging muscles spat defiantly.

"Dammit, I thought taking out two first would make it a sure win like Little White said. I didn't expect this demon girl to be hiding so much strength."

This time, Yun Lan had luckily rolled a good number and obtained a body reinforcement buff, showing great power by knocking Leng Xiaoyue off the stage. However, facing the unfathomable Xing Yaoyan, he still felt very uncertain.

"Don't panic. Based on her Demonic Power, she should be from the Tushan Fox Demon lineage. Red represents her specialization in the 'Dao of Strength.' Don't clash with her head-on; just kite her."

Hu Wang's mature and calm voice echoed in the hearts of the three, soothing the restless minds of Xiao Meng and Yun Lan.

As for Qian Mo?

He didn't show a hint of panic—no, he didn't show a hint of emotion at all.

His eyes were currently filled with the System's data analysis of the demon girl before him, as well as his own analysis and review of her combat habits.

There was only one thing on his mind right now—how to win?

According to the plan previously discussed with Senior Hu Wang, they had reached the final step. As long as he relied on his Superpower and coordination with his teammates, they had a very high chance of taking down the aggressive demon girl before them.

Suddenly, he felt a brief lapse in the Aura surrounding the girl.

Now is the time, a chance!

The boy moved, just as he had countless times with his mission targets, using the same unpredictable footwork and carrying the same Hidden Edge killing intent as he rushed toward the girl...

"You... do you really want to fight me?"

The boy's advancing figure suddenly came to a halt.

He saw the girl's eyes.

Those beautiful, slightly resentful, dark-gold eyes that were buried deep in his memories.

Every little detail of his past with his Little White Wolf suddenly flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

No...

His assassin's instinct made him bite his tongue hard to snap out of it, and he instantly pulled back to a distance.

When he tried to look closer, his vision was partially obscured by her violent Demonic Power, making it impossible to see clearly.

"Qian Mo, what's wrong?"

Hu Wang asked with some surprise.

He had never seen Qian Mo in such a state.

Every time he faced an opponent, his attacks and timing were as precise as a cold machine, making people's blood run cold.

When had he ever made such a mistake driven by intense emotion?

"I... I think I saw her..."

"Who?"

"Xing Yaoyan, the family member I lost before..."

Within the boy's calm words lay a hidden, complex emotion bordering on madness.

"Wake up! She is the Saintess of the Demon Race. She is a demon, not her!"

"Sigh... after all, she uses the Tushan Fox Demon's Cultivation Technique, which has a passive charm effect. You must have been briefly dazed by her just now."

Hu Wang's words instantly steadied Qian Mo's wavering heart.

Regardless of anything else, win this match first!

Seeing the backbone of the team return to his familiar state, Hu Wang habitually rubbed his forehead.

Sigh~ the mental strength of the entire team still has to rely on an old man like him. It's truly exhausting...

"Alright, since Qian Mo missed the opening, she'll be on guard. Let's use Plan B!"

At Hu Wang's command, the yellow-haired boy beside him turned into an afterimage. His terrifying power, which was already bordering on a Fourth Order Esper, smashed straight toward the girl, creating a series of sonic booms.

*Boom!*

Xing Yaoyan slowly moved her smoking hand away from her front; this heavy, forceful blow had pushed her back more than three steps.

"As expected of a Third Order legendary grade Superpower, it really has some weight to it."

Although the girl seemed to be somewhat suppressed at the moment, Yun Lan's mouth was hanging open wide enough to fit an egg.

That was a full-power strike he had charged for a long time. Although the plan didn't expect him to knock her down in one hit, what kind of monster only slides back a few steps after taking it head-on! This is way too overpowered.

Xing Yaoyan didn't care what he was thinking; she countered with a Liver-Bursting Punch aimed at the yellow-haired boy whose momentum had weakened.

Since you dared to attack me, even if you are Qian Mo's good friend, a little punishment is perfectly reasonable...

But just as her fist, coated in bright red Demonic Power, was about to land...

"Zhen Wood! Gen Earth!"

Xiao Meng and Hu Wang roared simultaneously.

Three massive earth walls instantly blocked the yellow-haired boy's front. At the same time, thick wooden vines burst from the walls, reaching out to bind the girl.

Impressive, they even have Combo Skills...

"Tch! How annoying!"

Xing Yaoyan could see it now; Hu Wang and Xiao Meng's skills utilized the Five Elements attributes associated with the Eight Trigrams to combat their enemies.

The girl's strange footwork from before allowed her to quickly adjust her position relative to the opponent to choose the appropriate Five Elements attribute to counter. What was even more nauseating was that Hu Wang and Xiao Meng could fight separately and cast their Superpowers independently.

No wonder they're mythical grade talent Beastmasters. A mage who can both crowd control and deal damage is really trying to screw me over!
