Could a high-tier demonic creature really be as common as a shared bike on every street corner?
Bringing a high-tier demonic creature over using a portal? What’s the point of that?
Yin Lin’s head just couldn’t figure it out.
Before she, Yin Zhentian, appeared, high-tier demonic creatures could indeed cause massive havoc in a city, leading to severe property damage and casualties.
But now, with Yin Zhentian holding the fort in the City, even if a high-tier demonic creature was sent over, wouldn’t it just be offering itself up for nothing?
Were the demonic creatures really brainless, or did the high-tier one just accidentally stumble through a portal?
Was there really no trap or scheme at all—just a misunderstanding?
She carefully weighed the matter using her thirty-four years’ experience of eating salt and rice, and in the end, denied it—she was convinced something was wrong here, it absolutely wasn’t a coincidence.
As for what the problem actually was? That, she couldn’t say.
Soaring through the sky, she wasn’t flying particularly fast or slow. The cool wind brushed her cheeks, and thanks to the stamina honed from all-nighters at work, she was extremely clear-headed at this moment.
Cautiously, she arrived above the high-tier demonic creature, keeping a distance of forty meters.
The creature had already emerged from underground to the surface, smashing open an iron door as it stepped out from behind it.
Though her naked eye couldn’t spot the creature in the night, the magical girl’s senses locked tightly onto its position.
The demonic creature must have sensed Yin Lin up in the sky, too. The magical girl’s mana was as clear as day up there, and given that this was a high-tier demonic creature, its stats outstripped low-tier ones in every way—it could definitely sense her.
Should she make this a quick fight?
Yin Lin still hadn’t used any magic yet. If she did, she’d shine like a beacon in the City, standing out for all to see.
Other magical girls would be able to sense her, too.
So she held back, not daring to make a move prematurely.
But the demonic creature wasn’t about to accommodate her. It sprang up in one giant leap onto a twenty-meter-tall building, then leapt again—right into the sky—throwing a punch straight at Yin Lin.
She calmly climbed higher, easily dodging the attack.
Even after missing with its punch, the creature managed to launch a fireball at Yin Lin, but her shield blocked it with ease, leaving her unharmed.
The demonic creature crashed back down to the ground, smashing a huge crater into the building and falling from the seventh floor down to the third.
With that brief clash, both sides understood who they were dealing with.
This was a physical-attack-enhanced—Physical Enhancement—high-tier demonic creature.
One that was completely countered by Yin Lin.
If Yin Lin couldn’t fly, she’d be at a disadvantage against a demonic creature with Physical Enhancement.
But she could fly, and had gradually learned to attack while airborne at the same time.
Against a creature like this with no strong ranged attacks, it would likely be a one-sided fight.
After that exchange, the demonic creature realized the high-flying figure above was the City’s big boss, Yin Lin. Sure enough, it changed tactics, switching to wanton destruction.
It smashed through a wall, burst out of the building, and started running madly down the main street, trying to evade battle.
Yin Lin couldn’t just sit back and watch anymore. She started off with a Spear of Heaven-Splitting.
Mana radiated from her body, and the Spear of Heaven-Splitting shone so brightly it could be seen from far away.
After charging up the Spear of Heaven-Splitting, she descended to maintain a distance of twenty meters from the demonic creature.
With Physical Enhancement, the creature was extremely fast—even without sprinting at full speed, it was already running at nearly 100 km/h.
What limited its speed now wasn’t its body, but the twisting, winding alleys, which forced it to slow down multiple times.
Seeing it was about to reach the main road, Yin Lin had to strike before it could really get up to speed.
She hurled the Spear of Heaven-Splitting, having already predicted its trajectory. But the creature sensed the danger, suddenly accelerated, and its feet gouged deep cracks in the ground as it dodged the attack.
Yin Lin charged up another Spear of Heaven-Splitting, dropping down to a distance of fifteen meters.
By now, the demonic creature had burst onto the main road and smashed hard into an SUV.
The SUV had no time to dodge. Its front end crumpled completely, and then it rolled several times down the street, sliding nearly a hundred meters before finally stopping. The people inside were probably done for.
At that moment, within Yin Lin’s sensing range, a new mana signature appeared—it belonged to a magical girl.
The mana surged forth abruptly, clearly the result of a sudden transformation.
At first, the magical energy was immense—normal for a magical girl’s transformation, since transformation itself was a kind of magic.
Once the transformation was complete, the mana decreased considerably.
It was about six kilometers away—not too far.
Huan Hong and Jin Luan couldn’t sense something from so far, but Yin Lin could feel it distinctly.
Was that magical girl Jin Luan or Huan Hong?
She didn’t know yet.
Yin Lin’s attention was split. Facing the high-tier demonic creature on the main road again, she hurled her second Spear of Heaven-Splitting, but her accuracy was still poor—it stabbed into the ground in front of the creature.
She needed to fly at high speed to chase the creature while also aiming and attacking at the same time—no easy feat.
She immediately charged up a third Spear of Heaven-Splitting.
Within these ten seconds, she sensed the magical girl six kilometers away had already flown a certain distance—now it was only about five kilometers away.
Damn, if the flying speed was around 400 km/h, that could only be Lyu Ye—it definitely wasn’t Jin Luan or Huan Hong.
Yin Lin’s heartbeat involuntarily quickened—she was getting nervous.
She released the third Spear of Heaven-Splitting, and although her nerves threw off her aim a bit, the shot still landed, stabbing into the demonic creature’s massive forearm.
More than half of the Spear of Heaven-Splitting pierced through its arm, but stopped short of completely penetrating.
This high-tier demonic creature’s physical defense was actually even higher than Cookie Boy’s.
It roared in pain, yanked the Spear of Heaven-Splitting out, and while running, threw it right back at Yin Lin in the sky.
Its aim was frighteningly precise, straight for her face.
She was only about fifteen meters away—far too close to dodge completely.
The returned Spear of Heaven-Splitting flew at her neck, shattering her shield instantly. She twisted her head at the last second, but the tip still grazed the side of her neck, leaving a small cut.
Just a surface wound—nothing serious—but she’d nearly died again.
Damn it! How dare you use my own magic against me!
A little angry now, but she had to hold it in—absolutely couldn’t use a charged mana cannon. That thing was too powerful; though it couldn’t be thrown back at her, it would wreak havoc on the environment.
Yin Lin summoned her magical shield again and charged up a fourth Spear of Heaven-Splitting.
As long as she could hit its weak spot, that demonic creature was as good as dead.
But the creature rushed into a Night Market street—full of people!
The crowd scattered in panic. The demonic creature grabbed someone, tore them in half, and stuffed their limbs into its mouth.
Now that it had stopped moving, things would be much easier.
Yin Lin fired the fourth Spear of Heaven-Splitting, and something shocking happened—the high-tier demonic creature raised its hand and caught the spear by the shaft.
Unbelievable—it could actually catch that!
The creature threw it right back again, but Yin Lin was prepared this time and dodged without getting hit.
It was a close call, but things were about to get even more dangerous.
“Hee hee, caught you.” A girl’s voice sounded from high in the sky.
Damn, it really was Lyu Ye—she had arrived.
I really hope you have MC just spear her and end her here already -_-
