“Boom!”
A kick landed on the Devil’s head, the burning ghostly blue Guo Huo instantly boiling, leaving a scorching footprint on the Devil’s skull!
“Ow!!”
A sharp pain shot through his head, and the Devil let out a pained howl.
The blood hadn’t even begun to flow before it was burned away by the Guo Huo.
Ling Xiaoyou used ‘Ghostfire Knight Kick’ on the Devil.
The effect was overwhelming!
Although Ling Xiaoyou’s physique was only 0 and her attack power wasn’t high, under normal circumstances, this strike wouldn’t have done much.
But now, the Devil was in an abnormal state with Yin energy invading his body!
In gaming terms, as long as Ling Xiaoyou added Guo Huo to her attacks, it would have a defense-ignoring effect on the Devil!
As everyone knows, defense-ignoring effects are always top-tier in games.
So even if Ling Xiaoyou’s attack power was lacking, it was enough to deal real damage to the Devil!
The Devil was kicked to the ground by Ling Xiaoyou, letting out a painful whimper.
The ghostly blue flames burned around him, emitting a cold chill while crackling fiercely—a truly miserable sight.
Honestly, if anyone else had come here and seen this scene, they might have thought Ling Xiaoyou was the evil villain, and the Devil was the oppressed one.
But no one would come here, and Ling Xiaoyou didn’t care what others thought of her.
Besides, she didn’t consider the Devil to be oppressed at all.
After all, his actions before were full of malice.
He had first explained to Xiaoyu how he used the ‘Blood Navel’ made from her mother to track her down, then tried to kill Ling Xiaoyou, and even the ‘Blood Navel’ itself—Ling Xiaoyou didn’t believe its creation was painless for Xiaoyu’s Mother.
No matter how you looked at it, this Devil had been malicious from beginning to end.
If he hadn’t been so dumb and fond of showing off, Ling Xiaoyou might have died again by now.
Strike while the enemy is weak!
Ling Xiaoyou understood this principle deeply.
So, while the Devil was down, her small hands moved quickly, bombarding him with dark energy balls wrapped in Guo Huo, leaving more scorched wounds on his body.
Under Ling Xiaoyou’s assault, the Devil’s appearance grew more and more hideous from the accumulating injuries.
He clenched his fists, rage rising within him.
This brat actually dares to humiliate me like this!!
I will tear her to pieces!!
“Ah! Damn brat, I’ll kill you dead!!”
The Devil let out another furious roar.
Propping himself up from the ground, he slowly stood, his already charred face looking all the more terrifying.
How many times are you going to say the same line?
Can’t you think of something new?
Or is your Devil dictionary just that limited?
Ling Xiaoyou complained inwardly but didn’t say anything.
She kept attacking.
Are you kidding? Who wants to waste time with you arguing?
Of course I’ll finish you off while you can’t fight back!
A ‘Ghostfire Shadow Ball’ gathered in her hand again, and Ling Xiaoyou hurled it at the Devil’s face.
The Shadow Ball floated unpredictably but was lightning fast, reaching the Devil in an instant.
Ling Xiaoyou was sure this shot would land squarely, and was already preparing another Shadow Ball.
But what she didn’t expect was that, as the Shadow Ball was about to strike, the Devil’s burned lips twisted into a savage grin.
Then, without even looking, he swatted the Shadow Ball away like it was a rubber ball.
The Shadow Ball smashed into a nearby tree, blasting a hole through the trunk and leaving a scorched black crater.
Ling Xiaoyou looked at the fading Shadow Ball, then at the grinning Devil. Her delicate brows furrowed—something felt wrong.
Strange, his eyes were burned away by the Guo Huo, and the red glow that acted as his vision before was gone too.
How did he see my attack?
The doubt rose in Ling Xiaoyou’s mind.
Then, her crimson eyes widened in disbelief.
The Devil had pulled out a crimson Crystal from who knows where, pressing it to his forehead and murmuring something under his breath.
Ling Xiaoyou couldn’t hear what he was saying, but instinct told her nothing good was about to happen.
She stomped her foot, vanishing and reappearing right in front of the Devil.
She didn’t know what he was planning, but whatever it was, her only job was to stop him!
Ghostly blue flames ignited on her fist. Ling Xiaoyou clenched her small hand and punched at the crimson Crystal in the Devil’s hand.
But even though her reaction was fast, she was still a step too late.
The Devil grinned, shoving the Crystal into his mouth and crunching down as if it were candy.
No!
The moment the Devil swallowed the Crystal, Ling Xiaoyou knew she’d failed to stop him.
Her instincts screamed danger. Without hesitation, she flashed away from the Devil’s side.
Suddenly, fleshy red growths burst from the Devil’s ribs, instantly morphing into a pair of powerful crimson arms that smashed down where Ling Xiaoyou had just been.
But thanks to her quick reflexes, the fists only hit the ground, leaving a half-meter deep crater and web-like cracks spreading outwards.
What the—where did these extra arms come from?!
Staring at the Devil, now with a second set of arms, half-healed injuries, and a faint light flickering in his eyes, Ling Xiaoyou felt a thousand complaints rise within her.
So that was the BOSS transitioning into the Main Stage cutscene just now!
No wonder I couldn’t stop it!
Ling Xiaoyou found herself an excuse for failing to interrupt, then her cute face turned serious as she focused on the Devil, choosing not to attack but to analyze his Main Stage status calmly.
Hmm, injuries mostly healed, so his HP is about half recovered.
Eyes glowing again, which means his vision is back—I’ll have to be careful not to let him anticipate my attacks.
But that’s not the worst part.
The worst is those extra arms.
That’s the real problem.
Ling Xiaoyou had no doubt that if all four fists hit her at once, there wouldn’t even be ashes left.
It was bad enough with two, which she could still dodge, but four made things much tougher.
As expected, brute force won’t work—I need to use my wits.
While Ling Xiaoyou pondered, the Devil looked at her, grinning fiercely.
“Ha haha! Tremble before the power granted by The Master, brat! Today is your death anniversary!”
