52: Interception (Part 2)

Leaving aside the matters of the Kingdom of Heaven for now, on the other side, when Nelson intervened and stirred up the rules, Xiang Yan was ready to rush out, but unexpectedly received a pleasant surprise.

Xiang Yan looked at the person and the Snow Rabbit, both pressed to the ground by Nelson's unintentional release of pressure, and a surge of joy filled his heart. It seemed this matter could be easily resolved today.

Just as he was about to make a move, a snowflake-shaped mark floated out from within the Snow Rabbit, transforming into glowing feathers that merged into Meng Yu and the Snow Rabbit's bodies, helping them resist the oppressive force.

Seeing this, Xiang Yan pouted. “I knew it. How can bad guys do anything without experiencing twists and turns? But I’m not like those Losers who fail because of such setbacks.”

“Moreover, my original plan was to resolve it with force. Now it’s just back on track. I’m not disappointed at all, no, not at all!”

Meanwhile, in some unknown place, a Magical Girl with soft, Ice Blue long hair and exquisite features felt her mark being triggered. Her long, slender fingers grabbed the ear of the Social Rabbit floating beside her.

After being grabbed by the ear, the Social Rabbit hadn't even reacted when it felt a pulling force from its ear, and then felt the strong wind slapping against its face.

“Wo... what’s going on? So urgent.”

But the girl ignored it and flew rapidly towards the Human Realm.

Meng Yu and the Snow Rabbit slowly stood up, feeling the surging power within them helping to resist the external pressure.

“How could...” The Snow Rabbit was about to ask when it was kicked away by Meng Yu, who had just climbed up from the ground.

Meng Yu also took the opportunity to jump backward. A second later, a black energy projectile struck where they had just stood, stirring up dust.

Meng Yu looked gravely at the area behind the smoke. The Magical Girl's incantation was rapidly recited, and dazzling light bloomed around her.

Her black off-shoulder top and denim shorts transformed into a light black and white dress. Her high ponytail also changed into soft, flowing long hair, gently swaying with the breeze. Her black thigh-high socks became white tights, and her sneakers transformed into a pair of long boots.

She grabbed forward with both hands, drawing a sharp sword shimmering with cold light from a Magic Circle that appeared in the Void Realm.

“Clap, clap, clap...” Crisp applause came from the smoke, and a figure shrouded in black mist slowly emerged.

The black mist swirled, obscuring his face and figure.

“What keen intuition, little girl.”

Meng Yu ignored his taunt, her eyes sharp, and launched an attack without hesitation.

A Magic Circle flashed beneath her feet, and her figure moved like lightning. In the blink of an eye, she rushed before the black mist, raising the long sword high with both hands. The sword tip gathered dazzling white light and slashed down fiercely!

The black mist, as if alive, quickly formed a barrier, blocking Meng Yu's fierce strike.

The moment the blade touched the black mist, a huge suction force emerged, as if trying to swallow the long sword.

Facing this powerful suction, Meng Yu unhesitatingly released the sword hilt, nimbly leaped backward, and simultaneously began chanting a spell.

In an instant, the ground trembled, and sharp earth spikes broke through the soil, like a giant fanged maw, biting towards Xiang Yan, who was shrouded in black mist.

The surface of the earth spikes shimmered with a metallic luster, incredibly sharp, even seeming to cut through the air, emitting a piercing whistle.

Xiang Yan snorted coldly, and the black mist swirled, from which a pair of massive hands, condensed from black mist, stretched out.

Black flames encircled the black hands, flickering and emitting a nauseating odor. This odor was not a sensory smell, but a corrosive pollution of the Soul, produced by countless evils accumulated, condensed, fermented, and then burned by negative energy flames.

The black hands violently struck the ground, and an ear-splitting roar echoed through the heavens and earth. A black Qi wave spread out with overwhelming force, and wherever it reached, the earth spikes shattered into dust, re-merging with the soil.

The ground vibrated violently, and the black Qi wave swept over. Meng Yu staggered, nearly falling.

At the same time, Xiang Yan opened his mouth, obscured by black mist, and spewed a mouthful of black aura towards Meng Yu.

This black aura was as dense as ink, exuding a chilling, decaying scent, like a venomous snake, shooting towards Meng Yu with lightning speed.

Meng Yu felt a chill run through her heart, and the shadow of death loomed over her.

She instinctively wanted to dodge but found her ankles entangled by several wisps of black Qi at some point, rendering her unable to move.

“It’s over,” Xiang Yan’s low, hoarse voice came from the black mist, like a death knell from Hell, announcing Meng Yu’s demise.

The black aura reached Meng Yu in the blink of an eye, about to engulf her... At the critical moment, Meng Yu flipped her wrist, and another sharp sword appeared in the Void Realm, slashing forward.

The previous sword had dissipated into countless light particles the moment she released it.

The newly appeared blade collided with the black aura, causing an explosion, and a deafening roar echoed through the heavens and earth.

Meng Yu was thrown back by the impact of the explosion, falling heavily to the ground.

She grunted, gritting her teeth, enduring the severe pain in her body, and instinctively plunged the long sword into the ground.

The sword body trembled, emitting dazzling golden light. The light spread across the ground like flowing water, rapidly advancing towards Xiang Yan.

Deep sword marks appeared on the ground, densely covering it like a spiderweb.

Seeing this, Xiang Yan snorted coldly. The black mist swirled and rapidly expanded, forming a massive black vortex.

The center of the vortex seemed to be an entrance to another world, faintly emitting chilling screams.

The sword marks extending to the edge of the vortex were completely swallowed the moment they touched the black vortex, as if they had never existed.

Not far away, the Snow Rabbit, who had been kicked and knocked into a tree, watched the offensive and defensive battle before its eyes, utterly dumbfounded. Both sides exchanged blows with incredible power.

After once again narrowly dodging the aftermath of their battle with its innate talent, and seeing the surrounding forest already leveled, the Snow Rabbit swallowed hard.

It turned its backside towards the two, struck a pose, and then dashed away with a whoosh.

While escaping, the Snow Rabbit took out a small blue hair accessory from its temporary space and injected a trace of magic into it.

“Sister Ice Blue! Save me!”

...Seeing that her attack was ineffective against this mysterious enemy, Meng Yu fiercely pulled out her long sword, leaned forward, and charged towards Xiang Yan like an arrow leaving a bow.

Purple electric arcs crackled around the sword body. Xiang Yan remained unperturbed, manipulating a giant black hand to collide head-on with Meng Yu's lightning sword.

With a loud bang, Meng Yu was repelled again, staggering back a few steps, and then fired a light cannon.

“Excalibur?”

The black vortex formed again, swallowing the attack.

However, a hint of doubt arose in Xiang Yan's heart.

Although the girl's offensive seemed fierce, and not much different from what he observed in Xiafei City, it always gave him a sense of disharmony, as if a right-handed person insisted on doing things with their left hand—awkward and lacking power.
