Chapter 13: The Red Lotus
At the moment when she took out the knife, Hao Ran felt a sense of ominousness from the abyss; Instinctively, he dodged the stab to the heart.
However, it was not spared. Although it didn't pierce his heart, the blade appeared strangely behind him, piercing his shoulder blade. And Hao Ran also noticed that the moment she hit herself, the blade of the "Cerberus" suddenly disappeared, leaving only a hilt. In the blink of an eye, the blade returned to its original place.
This kind of weird ability is simply unheard of!
"Are you curious about what I want to do to hurt you?" Mu Lian walked towards Lin Qiaoqiao's position, and Lin Qiaoqiao was also looking at her. "I just sent the blade into that space."
"Cut-" Hao Ran was not a fool, he quickly understood the principle of this ability.
To put it bluntly, based on the three major elements that make up the worldly realm, matter, energy, and space, Mu Lian is able to cut through the spatial rift and send the existing matter into the visible space, which is the specialty of the space transferer.
But is this kind of strength something that humans can have?
Hao Ran quickly wiped it on his shoulder with his right hand, and the wound recovered at a visible speed.
Noticing that Hao Ran's blood hole that had been pierced by himself had now grown sprouts, Mu Lian had to choose to completely suppress him first, considering the limitations of her ability. Mu Lian approached Haoran with a "zigzag" step, and at the same time put her left hand on the blade of the knife, wiping the back of the knife from time to time.
With each stroke, the blade disappeared, and at the same time, the blade appeared in Haoran's body.
But Haoran's speed is not slow, he is also eager for close combat now, in his opinion, as long as he can touch Mu Lian, he can instantly make her lose her combat effectiveness.
Puff puff...... The blade kept stabbing at Hao Ran from strange places and strange angles, so that he would continue to be injured even though he was on high alert.
But-when Haoran was only two positions away from Mu Lian, he suddenly punched when he had been passively dodging. And the direction of this punch was not Mu Lian, but hit the ground down.
Only a boom was heard, and the ground cracked, and the shattered small stones rushed into the sky along the reaction force, forming a blowout scene like a spring in the sky.
It's just that it's not a view, it's a tangible performance of strength. Mu Lian lost her balance in an instant under the earthquake brought about by this inhuman force.
At this juncture, Haoran grabbed Mu Lian's neck and lifted her up, while holding her wrist with his other hand and pinching it hard, with the sound of bone cracking, the "Cerberus" in Mu Lian's hand fell to the ground.
Haoran enjoyed Mu Lian's expression of pain and unwillingness at this time, "How is it?" I'm not stupid, and if you understand what I'm arranged, you'll see how wise I am. You can only slice and send objects out of the canon, but you can't send them away from yourself, so when I see through your movements, I'm already in control. β
"Then then, let me deal with you!" Haoran increased the force to strangle Mu Lian's neck.
Under this strange force, Mu Lian could no longer breathe, and after losing her weapon, she could only close her eyes and wait for death.
"Next!"
[This is ......]
Mu Lian opened her eyes slightly, and saw the "Cerberus" flying in the air, and the person who threw out this knife was Lin Qiaoqiao, who couldn't protect herself!
Suddenly, a residual force that came out of nowhere surged to his left hand, and before Hao Ran could react, he quickly caught it. One moment she caught the saber, and the next moment she plunged it into her left rib, and there was another wound that was visible to the bone!
Poof-
Blood gushed out, and along with the blood, there was an even more powerful aura!
"Second Order ......" Mu Lian's eyes were even more red, "Instantaneous - Liberation!" β
Different from the first stage of the object transfer ability "flash cut", the second stage of unsealing strength will make Mu Lian herself have the ability to dodge and chase completely beyond the concept of speed, from all levels, Mu Lian's survivability will be greatly strengthened because she can freely transfer herself to space.
Mu Lian, who had obtained a new layer of ability, got rid of Haoran's shackles in the blink of an eye, and also pulled Lin Qiaoqiao to escape from Haoran's attack range together.
However, this ability to liberate comes at the cost of blood, and at the current rate of blood loss, at most, in five minutes, Mu Lian will die of excessive blood loss. At this time, the left half of her body was completely dyed blood red, and her right hand was completely unconscious from the wrist down......
Although she was so badly injured, she still had a mission that she had to complete - to defeat Haoran.
If there is no way to make Haoran completely lose his combat effectiveness in a few minutes, not only will he be dragged to death, but Lin Qiaoqiao will still be useless even if he escapes now, and he will definitely catch up.
After quickly judging the situation, Mu Lian is ready to use one move to determine the winner!
I saw that there were many spatial rifts around her in an instant, and one by one they gradually approached, some intersecting together, and some merging into a larger and wider void......
"You...... What are you doing?! Since she was out of her control, Hao Ran had a bad feeling in her heart, and now after seeing the sci-fi situation around Mu Lian, her body instinctively told herself - you have to run away!
However, for Mu Lian, who has the ability to trace in space, it is useless for Haoran to flee anywhere now.
Because this trick was taught to her by God!
Mu Lian bit the dagger with her teeth, raised her free left hand, and clenched it with her palm facing the sky.
As if sensing it, the cracks in the surrounding space were slowly gathering towards her palm.
"Senluoβ" She bit the dagger, and the sound she made was even more hideous.
"Vientiane!"
She opened her palm suddenly, and the cracks that had been gathered together dispersed in all directions in an instant, and as the cracks dispersed, a dark space expanded rapidly from her palm, enveloping the entire warehouse in a matter of seconds......
Hao Ran, who was in the dark space, was like ten thousand ants devouring his heart at this moment, every part of his body seemed to be pulled by the distorted space, and his limbs seemed to have entered different dimensions, he couldn't sense each other, and the only feeling he could share was severe pain!
"Ahh Each pain nerve was activated to the maximum, constantly stimulating Haoran's brain...... [No...... I can't hold it anymore...... Who...... Can anyone save me......]
Just as Haoran was about to collapse for fear of being torn to pieces, a masked man walked in from outside the warehouse. And his arrival immediately disrupted the balance of this self-contained distorted space.
Once the balance is broken, the lethality of the distorted space is difficult to maintain.
But apparently, the masked man didn't intend to stop there. After he snapped his fingers, the entire black space shattered like a mirror.
"Unruly girl, this is the end of your performance time, you just need to return the girl behind you to the owner Haoran and leave safely, why not?" The masked man, or Shuya, looked at Mu Lian, who was covered in blood, with a peaceful smile.
"No more kidding!" Mu Lian was very unwilling, although she was inexplicably worried about the strength of this mysterious man, but at this time, she didn't believe that anyone could match her strength at this stage. Mu Lian grabbed the saber again and stabbed it in one direction at random, and when the force of the stab reached its maximum, the blade disappeared from the hilt and appeared in the heart of the mysterious man.
β»β»
Mu Lian was dumbfounded.
Even Haoran, who hadn't recovered from the pain, was stunned.
That mysterious man, Shuya, turned out to be ...... I caught the blade with two fingers!
The most terrifying thing is that the blade was indeed inserted into his heart, but not a drop of blood came out.
"This thing is sharp, it's best not to play with it everywhere, do you hear it, unruly girl?" Shuya's expression was not real under the mask, but from his tone, he could hear three points of persuasion and seven points of disdain.
Mu Lian subconsciously withdrew the blade, and at this moment, even she was stunned. There was no information at all about the other party, and the other party did not take the initiative to attack at all. For the first time, face such an enemy who has no way to start!
"Holder, you shouldn't just be a spectator, right? I remember that you should have been the participant, especially today, for that important ceremony. Xiuya glanced at Lin Qiaoqiao, who had no desire to survive.
Haoran stood up with difficulty and walked in the direction of Lin Qiaoqiao step by step.
Mu Lian once again activated her ability, and this time the target was no longer the mysterious man, but Haoran who came towards her.
But...... The ability was not used...... The blade is still on the hilt, and the only thing that has changed is Mu Lian's posture.
[What's going on!?] Mu Lian was stunned.
Shuya was still clasped around her elbows, smiling and silent.
Seeing Haoran getting closer and closer, Mu Lian stabbed himself again.
Another stream of blood spurted out.
"Everything is there!"
"Don't waste your efforts."
This...... Not even the spatial crack could be introduced. And at this time, Haoran just passed by her.
The atmosphere freezes in an instant, and two people can hear each other's heartbeats!
However, nothing happened, Mu Lian could feel that as long as she moved a little bit at that moment just now, she would be immediately wiped out by the mysterious person!
Haoran led Lin Qiaoqiao to the warehouse, and Mu Lian still remained in a stiff state.
"Ahh
[This voice is!] γ
"Oh, it seems that it has succeeded, then, my mission is over." Shua straightened her collar.
Mu Lian thought of Lin Qiaoqiao, a girl who was almost the same age as herself, was going through that kind of thing, and it was forced......
[I must save her!] Recklessly, he stabbed the weapon in his hand at Xiuya, at this moment, Mu Lian did not carry hope, this blow was infused with just the urge to protect Lin Qiaoqiao!
"There are no miracles in this world." Xiuya blew at Mu Lian.
It was just a breeze that was not a breeze, but Mu Lian couldn't bear it, and knelt straight on the ground.
At this moment, a hurricane suddenly broke off in the warehouse.
"It seems that I am really leaving, but I will not appear in the next script......" Shuya snapped his fingers and hidden.
[I...... I'm going to ...... Fight again! Protect her...... The girl...... She must have had a similar experience to me......] Mu Lian was bathed in blood at this time, and she was already a bloody person, but she still used perseverance to support herself from falling to the ground, she slowly raised her left hand, and held the ground saber on her back and was about to stab her chest - to remove the most scar at the back.
But she also knew that once she let that wound open again, she wouldn't last more than two seconds, and she would definitely die, after all, it was the heart!
"Mu Lian!"
[Who?] γ
"Mu Lian, don't!"
[Who's calling my name......]
Mu Lian's knife-wielding hand was grabbed by a larger hand, preventing the blade from getting close to Mu Lian's chest.
γTrue ...... Really...... Catch it like this, I ...... How can you save people......]
"Mu Lian, enough is enough...... You've done enough! Next, leave it to me! Please trust the strength of your companions! Jing Xiang had tears in his eyes.
......Mu Lian felt her eyelids heavily, and an indescribable tiredness welled up in her limbs......
Bite! The saber fell to the ground.
In this way, Mu Lian fell asleep in Jingxiang's arms.
"I'm sorry for you, Brother Cui!" Jing Xiang gently handed over Mu Lian to Cui Mingren to take care of, and rushed into the storm alone. He plans to defeat Hao Ran who has already completed the "Most Late Ritual" by himself!
Outside the warehouse, on an unknown hill.
"Do you want to run away, Prince Shua?"
"I didn't expect it...... You're also ...... Since you're here, it means that the plan has begun!? So, how about reminiscing? β
"Do you think it's so easy for me to catch you just to catch me back? You're thinking so beautifully, too! β
"Okay...... After so many years, I still can't resist you...... Then get your wish and have a fight! β
