But a duel cannot be won by just fighting with all your might. Unless you can crush your opponent, you always have to be on guard against your opponent playing unconventionally.
As swift as a sword, in the sky full of sword lights, Yayi has completely compressed the space for Su Jue to move. With the sharp blade, the long sword suddenly chopped down.
"you lose."
"No." Their eyes met, their figures were close to each other, Su Jue smiled crazily under his half-face mask, "You lost."
The sword turned sideways in an attempt to block Mei's sword strike, but when Mei really slashed down, his face changed in shock. Su Jue didn't even think of blocking it, but instead let go of the sword, allowing Mei's sword to be like cutting on cotton.
The knife continued to move downwards, cutting through Qianjie's shoulder. Amidst the splattering blood, Su Jue's smile became even more wild.
boom--
A heavy punch landed on Mei's abdomen, and then this time, when she still had some strength left, she followed it up with a headbutt.
Mei fell to her knees with a buzzing head. The sword in her hand flew several meters and hit the ground with a clanging sound. Although Su Jue's injuries seemed more serious, the final victory still belonged to him.
"Skills alone can't make up for the gap in combat, Lu..." Damn it, he almost copied Qianjie's lines.
"Despicable!" It took Mei a long time to recover. Her lavender eyes were filled with anger. At this moment, she wished she could tear this guy who used such dirty tricks into pieces.
"Hmm? You look dissatisfied?"
Mei Raiden didn't say anything, but her expression clearly showed that she was not convinced. In the past half month, she had been training herself madly almost every day and night, but now she was defeated because of her carelessness. Naturally, she was very unconvinced.

With a light tap of his toes, the sword that Su Jue had snatched from Mei fell into his hand. With a flick of his wrist, he stuck the sword directly into the cement ground in front of Mei. "If you don't accept it, I'll give you another chance. If you win, you can take the sword back. If you lose, you have to agree to one of my conditions."
Mei was silent for two seconds, but she finally grasped the hilt, took a deep breath, and pulled out the sword. The familiar weapon was back in her hand, but Mei felt a little humiliated because she didn't take it back herself.
But now the opportunity is before her again, and she will definitely not let it go.
Su Jue, unarmed, had his second duel with Raiden Mei, and this time the fighting style that should have belonged to Qianjie.
"Come on! Let me see your determination!" Su Jue shouted arrogantly. He had no intention of defending and launched an attack directly.
His speed was extremely fast, even faster than when he used the sword before. Meiyi held her sword tightly and slashed out quickly, trying to force Su Jue to dodge. Only in this way could she use the advantage of the weapon to suppress him.
Unfortunately, she didn't know that being injured would only make Qianjie even crazier. When the blade fell, Su Jue only used his palm to slightly relieve some of the force. As long as it wasn't a fatal injury, it was acceptable to him.
Obviously, Raiden Mei had never seen such a desperate fighting style, and the situation of exchanging injuries for injuries was extremely disadvantageous to her. Therefore, she could only do her best to increase the distance, but she also didn't know that once she had the intention to avoid, she would only fall completely into Qianjie's attack rhythm.
boom--
Chi-
Fists collided with bodies, blades and blood splattered, and after the final collision, only one person was left standing.
"Is this your determination? Raiden Mei."
Mei, who was knocked away by a punch, gritted her teeth and tried to force herself to stand up, but the pain all over her body made her tremble continuously.
The physical injuries were far less serious than the mental blow. If it was before, I could blame Su Jue for playing dirty tricks, but now I am defeated miserably even with the advantage of weapons, then what is the point of all my hard training?
"What am I..."
"Wait!! We can talk about this." Su Jue was suddenly startled and quickly interrupted Mei's mumbling.
With a bleak smile on her face, Meiyi raised her head and looked straight at Su Jue, "I admit that you won, but I will never let you humiliate me."
What a humiliation! I'm just afraid that you will enter your password.
"Raiden Mei, I didn't ask you to come here just to see you being weak. You wouldn't have forgotten what was in the message, would you?"
After Su Jue's reminder, Raiden Mei suddenly came to her senses. This time she came for Kiana. The message Su Jue sent her said that Kiana was about to face a life-and-death crisis.
She no longer thought about whether she could do it or not. Kiana's safety was the most important thing.
"Do you know where Kiana is?" she asked quickly.
"Of course, we are looking for you this time because of her."
Listening to Su Jue's words, Meiyi immediately realized the key point, "You guys?"
"Yes, we are. We are an organization made up of the survivors saved by Miss Kiana. Some of us have been attacked by Honkai, some have been persecuted by Destiny, and some have simply been abandoned by this society and saved by her."
"Each of us has received her kindness. We have come together to protect her in secret and are committed to dedicating our lives to Miss Kiana." Su Jue introduced his organization in a serious manner and even took off his mask on his own initiative.
Mei looked at the completely unfamiliar young man in front of her and remained silent. She did not immediately believe what he said, but at least from Su Jue's performance, they had no ill will towards Kiana.
"Okay, what do you need me to do? But before that, I need to know Kiana's whereabouts."
Chapter 101: Collapse Bomb
The sky was gradually getting dark. Kiana had already prepared herself for the world snake to hunt her down, but the amazing thing was that there was no movement for the whole day. This not only did not make her feel at ease, but instead filled her heart with a strong sense of uneasiness. And she was not the only one who felt uneasy. Even Fu Hua, who was staying in Yu Duchen, was a little uneasy and sent a warning to Kiana.
"What's wrong?" A voice suddenly came from beside her. Kiana came back to her senses, relaxed her frown a little, and gave a forced smile to Su Jue who was looking at her in confusion on the hospital bed.
"It's okay, I just feel a little uneasy."
Su Jue sighed softly, closed the book in his hand, shook his head at Qiana, and advised: "Since you are uneasy, go and investigate. You are a strong warrior, you should trust your intuition."
"But what should you do?" The inner uneasiness made Kiana worry about Su Jue who was bedridden. She could vaguely feel that this crisis might be unusual.
Looking back on her past experiences, she also felt a strong sense of uneasiness when she killed Grace. However, she did not think so much at that time, and thus committed an irreparable sin.
Seeing Qiana's worried expression, Su Jue smiled with relief and said softly, "I will protect myself and will never be a burden to you."
"That's not what I meant." Hearing Su Jue's words, Kiana thought that her words had hurt the other party. She hurriedly wanted to explain, but her lips were pressed by the book in Su Jue's hand.
"Kiana, this is what I should do. If you really regard me as a companion, please respect my choice and respect your own choice." The gray eyes flickered under the light of the hospital bed, filled with determination, which reminded Kiana of the same look in the boy's eyes under the dim light that day.
He has never been a loser who needs protection from others. From beginning to end, he knows very well what he should do and what he is doing.
The uneasiness between her brows was completely relieved, and Kiana once again recalled the reason why she was attracted to this boy in the first place. Wasn't it because of this indomitable will?
He is his companion, not a weak person hiding behind him who needs protection.
"Yeah." All the worries disappeared. Kiana stood up and nodded solemnly towards Su Jue, as if she was a soldier who was about to go on an expedition and was saying goodbye to her family.
"Go, find out the truth and save the world."
……
The setting sun in the distance was about to fall, dividing the world into yin and yang. As night fell, large dark clouds were approaching the Sky City, as if even they knew that a disaster that would shock the world might happen tonight.
On the signal tower in the center of Sky Dome City, many steel frames were added at some point, and a huge porous sphere that had been specially treated was set up inside it. After multiple modifications and adjustments, the induced frequency injection was fixed on the sphere. All it took was waiting for the engine sphere to explode, and the resulting Honkai energy would cover the entire Sky Dome City with a special frequency band, allowing millions of residents in the city to undergo the stigma-inducing experiment in an instant.
"There are still four hours before the experiment begins." After confirming that all preparations were completed, the Jackal and the Raven breathed a sigh of relief. It would take at least ten hours for the army of Destiny to arrive, which was enough time for them to complete the experiment.
"Don't let your guard down. The Valkyrie of Destiny is still wandering around this city, not to mention the biggest variable, the Herrscher of the Void." Compared to the Jackal, Raven was obviously much more cautious. More importantly, she had already consulted Gray Snake. There was no cadre named Chi Lian in the organization. She always felt that the red-haired woman who appeared in front of her that day would appear again.
Pushing the dog-head mask on his face, Jackal said disdainfully: "We have completely cut off the signal of Tianming, and the Gray Snake has also monitored the network information of the entire city. How could they know our plan? Now I'm afraid they are still hiding in a corner like a rat, thinking that they have escaped our pursuit and are complacent."
"..." After taking a deep breath, Raven gave up the idea of persuading this guy. This person is just like that. Just let her go. As long as the plan can go smoothly, it will be fine.
While she was talking, she had already opened her tactical panel. The bird's-eye view map of the entire Skydome City was clearly marked, and around the signal tower, there were already dense red dots. These were the only remaining mecha troops of the World Serpent, all of which were hidden in the buildings in a dormant state. Even if Rita and Kiana discovered the plan, it would be impossible for them to easily pass through the mecha defense line.
After the arrangement was completed, it was time for them to retreat. The activation signal of the Stigmata Plan would also affect them. However, the World Serpent had a better trial site for cadres, and this crude activation method was too dangerous.
At this moment, Raven suddenly felt a strange gaze falling on her. She turned her head sharply and saw only a short dark gray hair.
"Who?" Raven rushed out as she said this, but the eavesdropper had already fled frantically. She could only barely recognize the familiar combat uniform, which was that of a member of the Immortal Blade.
"Cleo is such a bad-mouthed woman. I must never let her speak again next time." Cursing silently in his heart, Raven quickly chased after her.
At this time, Alvette, who was discovered eavesdropping, had dull eyes and was constantly running away under Su Jue's control. Rita and the others naturally didn't know the purpose of the World Snake, but Su Jue had already focused his attention on the World Snake. As the last step of his plan for this city, how could he not focus on it?
The purpose of Alvette's existence is to reveal this news. After all, Kiana has not experienced being caught by the jackal yet, so naturally she is not aware of their plan to plant the bomb.
The more Raven chased, the more he felt something was wrong. It was clearly just an A-level Valkyrie, how could she escape so fast? Just when Raven was about to lose patience and was about to use the Seven Thunders of Purification to snipe her, Alvette finally escaped to her destination.
"Deputy Captain! The World Serpents are planning to install a bomb in the signal tower and use everyone in the city as an experiment."
Rita, with a frown on her face, faced Raven again. She always felt that this scene was familiar, but the situation before her did not allow her to think too much. She immediately activated the Moon Soul Armor and fought with Raven again.
Alvette, who was running for her life, stumbled to the vicinity of the hospital and bumped into Kiana, who had just come out of the hospital.
"The Herrscher of the Void, they are preparing to detonate the bomb, the plan..." She fainted before she could finish her words.
Kiana caught Alvette's fallen body and frowned tightly. She had received limited information and had not figured out the situation. Fortunately, there was still a Fu Hua living in her body. The two successfully found a recorder in Alvette's clothes and recorded the conversation between the Jackal and the Raven.
"It's the Stigmata Project. The World Serpent hasn't given up yet!"
Chapter 102 Explosion
The moment the term "Stigmata Project" appeared, Kiana quickly recalled the information she had seen on the computer at Shencheng Pharmaceutical.
Those inhumane experiments and cruel plans, each of them trampled on human dignity and life.
The memories buried deep in her heart began to emit waves of pain. The tragic state of Grayshu was still vivid in her mind. Kiana clenched her fists and her breathing became rapid. Not only that, the other soul in her body also gradually began to awaken because of these memories.
Human crimes have never stopped, and the tragedy of the Tower of Babel will never disappear, but will only be repeated over and over again.
"Kiana, stay calm and don't forget that you still have a chance to make amends." Fu Hua gently reminded her as she keenly sensed that the Herrscher of the Void was showing signs of awakening again.
Her chest kept rising and falling. After taking several deep breaths, Kiana gradually calmed down. She clenched her fists and said in a stern voice: "I must stop them. There are still four hours before the experiment starts. I still have time."
Unfortunately, although Alvette brought news about the World Serpent's plan, she did not record the location where they were going to detonate, so Kiana still needed to continue investigating.
What's worse is that the long-dormant Herrscher of the Void has begun to wake up, and if Kiana wants to fight with all her strength like before, she will most likely lose control.
No matter what, Kiana took action first. She didn't waste any time and immediately began to investigate the recent movements of the World Snake.
At the same time, the jackal on the signal tower also started the countdown for the Honkai bomb.
To achieve the perfect activation effect requires a period of energy coupling, which is exactly 4 hours.
The Jackal, who had suffered many setbacks, has also learned to be smart. In addition to the countdown, the Honkai bomb will also explode quickly after coming into contact with high concentrations of Honkai energy. This is to prevent the Herrscher of the Void from tampering with the bomb during this period.
Once Kiana uses her spatial ability, it will inevitably cause Honkai fluctuations, and then the Honkai bomb will explode directly. Although it is impossible to achieve a perfect awakening effect, it is at least better than failure.
"let's start."
As the Jackal finished his words, violent explosions suddenly occurred in various places in the center of Sky City.
Kiana, who was walking on the street, suddenly stopped. There was a sound of whistling wind above her head. The billboard frame affected by the explosion broke and fell toward the street.
The more alert people on the road immediately noticed the falling shelf above their heads and started running around.
But the city was densely populated, and many people fell in the crowd. Seeing that the advertising stand was about to fall to the ground, Kiana suddenly jumped up. After leaving a deep footprint on the ground, she flew directly into the air. The heavy metal stand immediately deformed under her support, and it was impossible to catch it by force. In desperation, Kiana could only twist her body and smash the advertising stand directly against the wall next to it, using friction to slow it down.
There were continuous creaking sounds, and the welded steel frame began to shift and break, but Kiana had achieved her goal. Noticing that the crowd on the ground had dispersed, she loosened her hands. Under the stunned gaze of the passers-by, Kiana rolled over to successfully release the force and landed safely.
Behind her, the heavy advertising stand finally fell to the ground, splashing dust all over the ground.
"You guys should evacuate quickly, this area is very unsafe." Facing people's gazes, Kiana's expression was a little unnatural. She was afraid that someone would recognize her identity and recognize that she was the Herrscher who caused the world to collapse.
Therefore, after confirming that there was no problem for the time being, she left quickly, leaving only her back to the survivors who had just escaped from the brink of life and death.
"It's the magical girl Kiana! Mom, that's Kiana!" Although most adults don't know Kiana, some children have already recognized her. The legend of the magical girl has spread in the children's social circles, replacing the position of the Warrior of Light and becoming the goal that children yearn for.
Such explosions continued one after another. In order to delay the time of the officials and Destiny, the World Snake had completely disregarded the safety of ordinary people, and this undoubtedly greatly delayed Kiana's investigation process.
"Pay attention to the control of Honkai energy, just as I taught you."
Facing the erosion of the Herrscher of the Void, Fu Hua chose to let Kiana restrain her power and leave those people alone last time. But this time, she took the initiative to teach Kiana what to do. Even though the Honkai erosion was getting worse and worse, she still followed the agreement and didn't say a word.
The two different attitudes also led to a different relationship between the two. With Fu Hua's understanding of Taixu sword energy, Kiana successfully differentiated and guided the redundant Honkai energy, thereby greatly reducing the progress of erosion.
The crisis of the Honkai bomb is imminent, but Kiana cannot just leave these citizens alone. Making the same mistake once is enough, and she doesn't want to see others suffer the pain of losing their loved ones again.
More and more citizens were saved by Kiana. In addition, the white-haired girl had saved many people in the previous month. The legend of the magical girl began to spread widely on the Internet throughout the Sky City.
There was even an account named Qian Jue that perfectly followed the scene, recording all the scenes of Kiana saving people from various strange corners and posted them on social networks.
Use explosions to drag ordinary people into disaster.
I have to say that although the World Snake's move is very despicable, it is indeed useful. Kiana, who was running around, had wasted two hours without realizing it.
"Qiana, the help that the Taixu sword energy can provide to your body has already reached its limit."
After confirming that there was no explosion, Kiana landed on the rooftop and stayed there for a while.
Her breathing was very rapid, and her physical strength had been lost a lot in the continuous exercise. The collapse cracks that had not appeared for a long time reappeared. Fortunately, the experience during this period made her will grow a lot, and it was not so easy for the consciousness of the Herrscher of the Void to break through.
"But I can't stop yet. There are still people in this world waiting for me to save them." After a short rest, she jumped high from the edge of the roof and jumped towards another building like a flying bird.
However, when she was in mid-air, the invisible patrol mecha lurking on the roof had already aimed at her figure.
whoosh-
Several grenades with long tails of flames blasted towards Kiana. Her face changed and she immediately used her ability to build a platform in the air to leverage her strength.
