“No way.” Huanhong pointed at the purple barrier and continued, “If I can’t even make a ripple on this barrier in my normal form, then even if I power up, there’s no way I can break it.”
To destroy this thing, what mattered wasn’t endurance, but explosive power in an instant.
Yinlin was actually quite suited to breaking this barrier, but right now, she couldn’t fire it off, so she could only hold it in.
Huanhong looked at Jinluan, who was still fighting in the distance.
She hadn’t expected Jinluan to hold her own against a high-level demonic creature.
Although she was at a disadvantage, at least she could still fight back.
She glanced at the constipated Yinlin and the struggling-to-teach Diamond.
Suddenly, Huanhong cut in and said, “How about this, Li, try imagining you have diarrhea. When you’re constipated, nothing comes out, right? But with diarrhea, that smooth feeling, that sensation of everything just flowing out, that’s probably what it’s like to release your magic.”
Uh… Huanhong really didn’t treat Yinlin like an outsider, to just say something like that.
And her face didn’t even turn red.
If she knew the person in front of her was actually a 34-year-old man, who knows what Huanhong would think.
Actually, Huanhong was qualified to teach.
She could use techniques to strengthen her body—something like “power burst”—and she could even actively cancel that power-up state.
Canceling the power-up was somewhat similar to releasing stored-up energy.
But even after hearing Huanhong’s instruction, Yinlin still couldn’t release the magic she’d built up.
The biggest obstacle was the huge difference between the magical girl’s body and her real body.
This was the body of a teenage girl, while her real self was a 34-year-old man. The two were completely different.
She’d never used a magical girl’s body to go to the bathroom before, so how could she understand that feeling?
Old Song had plenty of experience, but Yinlin had none at all.
Seeing that Yinlin still couldn’t do it, and was still dawdling,
Huanhong grew impatient. “Forget it, Li, you figure it out here. I’m going to help out.”
Huanhong didn’t want to waste any more time here, so she flew toward the high-level demonic creature, joining the battle in her normal form.
Her ability to break defenses was weak, and she struggled against shields.
Luckily, Jinluan had already broken through the high-level demon’s shield, so now they could attack its body.
To break the shield, Jinluan had taken some injuries.
With Huanhong’s support, Jinluan’s pressure was greatly reduced.
She could slow her attack pace a bit, catching her breath while still fighting.
Huanhong took the front, but before she could attack, she took a direct hit to the arm.
Her defense was better, but she was still blasted open and bleeding, a crater left in her arm.
The high-level demon’s instant cannon blast dealt heavy damage.
If it had been a headshot, even a magical girl would have been severely wounded if not dead.
After closing the distance, Huanhong swung her magic staff at the demon’s head, but it was caught in the demon’s hand.
Her feet weren’t idle either—she kicked out, hitting the demon’s stomach so hard it caved in, but the belly quickly returned to normal.
This demon could really take a beating.
Forcing her magic staff free, she swung again with all her might, but the demon caught it once more—though this time, its hand was bent back over ten centimeters.
Huanhong’s strength was growing.
Seeing the demon suddenly open its mouth, Huanhong realized it was about to fire a cannon, so she quickly dodged her head aside.
The scorching blast grazed her ear, burning her face.
A lock of her red hair was singed off, catching fire.
She quickly patted her hair to put out the flames.
Just then, Jinluan stepped in to cover her, launching a few more instant slashes.
Several new wounds appeared on the demon’s body.
But they weren’t deep enough.
The demon’s sheer physical toughness could block the blade, making it feel like slicing steel.
Jinluan even used an enchantment technique to boost her power, but still couldn’t cut this thing in half.
This was a high-level demon with no shield left, tanking hits with its body alone.
“No use!” Huanhong shouted, getting anxious and a bit distracted.
The demon grabbed her staff and flung both her and the staff over ten meters away, slamming her into a load-bearing pillar.
This was a heavily injured high-level demon, yet two magical girls still couldn’t take it down—they were at a disadvantage.
Of course, they were holding back—Huanhong hadn’t powered up, and Jinluan wasn’t using her full strength.
If it took all their strength just to deal with a wounded high-level demon, how would they face Lightning Man later?
That was a cadre-level demon, far tougher than anything here.
Jinluan’s expression grew heavier, and she retreated a bit.
She half-crouched, lowered her body, and held her weapon horizontally.
She looked like she was about to use some skill.
Her focus was locked on the high-level demon.
The demon suddenly opened its mouth.
Jinluan dodged, and the blast shot past her head, the scorching air rushing by without hurting her.
Her blade was now covered in an even thicker layer of golden flames—those were truly blazing flames.
The demon fired again, but Jinluan dodged once more, her figure vanishing.
In the next instant, she was right beside the high-level demon, midair, clearly aiming for a decapitation.
The demon’s eyes reacted in that split second, its eyeballs tracking her as she moved from the center to the left.
Its fingers twitched, and at the very moment Jinluan appeared, a shield sprang up around it.
Jinluan’s blade targeted the demon’s neck, space itself seeming to warp for a moment.
The blade struck the freshly raised shield, slicing a crack through it.
This shield was clearly hastily thrown up, not a perfect defense—its strength was lacking.
But the demon also dodged at the same time, so after breaking the shield, the blade sliced through the demon’s chin, cutting off a chunk of flesh.
So close to killing it instantly.
After that strike, Jinluan was panting heavily, chasing after the demon with another dozen slashes, but none as powerful as before.
Huanhong attacked again, finally unable to hold back as she powered up, entering a state like “power burst.”
She leapt a good ten meters, charging to the demon’s side, and smashed her staff down.
A terrifying phoenix cry and shockwave followed.
She struck its shoulder, smashing the demon into the concrete floor, cracking and caving the ground in over ten centimeters.
This surprise attack gave Jinluan the perfect chance to decapitate the demon. She raised her blade, about to bring it down on its neck.
Suddenly, a powerful blast of wind erupted from the demon, spreading outwards.
Both of them were blown away, the super-typhoon-like wind impossible for anyone to resist.
Even the thick load-bearing pillars had their outer layers stripped away by the wind—it wasn’t just wind, but carried a weak area-of-effect attack.
After blowing them away, the high-level demon finally stopped conserving its magic.
It realized that if it kept holding back, these two magical girls would kill it.
The time for playing around with normal attacks was over.
The high-level demon got up from the ground, stood tall, and rolled its neck.
