Along with his words filled with anger and resentment, layers of rune wheels were projected in front of him, spinning and floating quickly or slowly, exuding the breath of disaster and destruction.
The next second, a gushing black and red "tide" surged towards Qi Ji who was still standing still!
"not good……"
Nancy, who witnessed all this, couldn't help but clench her fists. She had never seen Buck use this move before and didn't know its specific effect.
But just based on the leaked spiritual fluctuations, one can feel the extremely terrifying and evil destructive power, like a natural disaster without any warning, unpredictable, unfathomable, and irresistible.
It is like an evil spirit that has broken free from its shackles in the abyss of hell, and pounces on its target a few meters away without restraint. It is like a hungry wolf or tiger that has been thirsty for days and meets a lamb, and will not stop until it has eaten it up.
Nancy was just standing at a distance and watching, but her heart tightened, like a herbalist lost in the primeval forest, who turned around and saw a man-eating beast lurking behind her, staring at her with green eyes.
Not to mention the cloaked girl herself, who had to face his power and malice head-on, the pressure she endured was absolutely indescribable.
But she... did not move at all, did not even turn her head, and seemed defenseless as she faced the vicious and dangerous attack with her back.
It seemed as if he was frightened and stunned, or he didn't react at all.
"Damn it!"
Nancy broke out in a cold sweat. Apart from the worry that had just arisen in her heart, all that was left was condemnation for the mysterious girl.
"I told you not to move and leave this thing to me... why didn't you listen?!"
If it was herself standing in the cloaked girl's position, then with the strength of a high-level righteous mage, as long as she was properly prepared, she would have a good chance of withstanding the attack of the black and red tide.
She didn't think that her own hard power was much stronger than the girl's. In fact, based on the strength currently demonstrated by the other party, she felt that her realm was similar to hers. She was even slightly stronger in terms of pure firepower output because she was likely carrying multiple high-level spiritual equipment.
But, if it were her, she would definitely not be like the girl, whose mind went blank due to the sudden change and she would stay where she was waiting for the enemy's attack to hit her!
In a battle of the same level, a moment of trance basically means complete failure or even death!
Although Nancy is only in her twenties, she is a genius in cultivation, with extremely high aptitude and a speed at which her realm is improved far beyond her peers. However, she is by no means a "model master" or "face master" who is "stacked" by abundant resources and teachers.
This is definitely not the kind of newbie who stands there waiting to die, at a loss as to what to do because things develop beyond their expectations!
Many of her response measures have become conditioned reflexes through a large amount of practical experience. Many times, her actions are faster than her brain, more effective and more correct!
Seeing that the cloaked girl was about to be swallowed up by the red and black fog filled with evil aura, she reacted immediately. Two "flame spears" that she had prepared for a long time suddenly appeared in her hands, and one of them was thrown directly at the aggressive "tide".
At this distance, it was too late for her to resist the attack of the "Wheel of Misfortune" on behalf of the cloaked girl. The only thing she could do was to disrupt its progress and buy the girl a moment to react.
"No, it's not completely impossible..."
After throwing the "Flame Spear" in her hand, an idea flashed through her mind involuntarily.
"If I ask 'that person' to help, there will definitely be no accidents, just like in the beginning, but..."
She hesitated for a moment as she watched the flaming spear quickly hit the black and red mist that was about to cover the cloaked girl.
If I were to show the power of "that person" in front of a transcendent of the same level, I would definitely be noticed, and I would be at risk of being exposed...
When I first arrived, I took a risk to save Renee and the others who were about to be crushed by the puppets. The cloaked girl might have noticed it. If I do that again in front of her, it will definitely...
However, if the girl dies because of her reservations...
"Although this little girl is a little childish and impulsive, she is willing to provide shelter to Renee and the others whom she has only met once, and even offend the mysterious and powerful cult. She can be considered my benefactor... If she dies like this, I will feel guilty for a long time..."
While these thoughts were emerging, the Flame Spear had already exploded in the black and red fog. The expanding fireball and flames illuminated the surrounding space which was filled with violent shock waves and high temperatures.
However, what Nancy expected did not happen.
The black and red fog that was hit by the flaming spear was not blocked by it. Instead, it seemed to be boosted and spread out at a faster speed!
"……not good!"
Nancy's eyes widened in horror and her pupils shrank suddenly.
At this moment, she realized...her judgment and actions were wrong.
She misjudged the nature of the black and red fog that she had never seen before, and thus chose the wrong response.
Making a mistake during a battle is not a particularly serious matter.
In actual combat where the situation is unpredictable, any plan or program may face unexpected situations, and even the most experienced soldiers may make mistakes in judgment or execution.
As long as timely countermeasures are taken, mistakes themselves are not a big deal and in most cases there is a chance to remedy them.
But, obviously, under the current circumstances, it was too late for Nancy to do anything.
The one who suffered from her mistakes was not herself, but...
Nancy didn't even have time to feel regret and shame before the ominous scarlet and black mist completely engulfed the petite figure in the cloak.
Chapter 171 Instant Kill
"Oh!"
There was a loud bang.
It sounded like something huge and hard exploding.
The black and red mist that surged like a flood suddenly broke a big hole on the side!
Yes, this "mist" is not a physical substance at all, it is just the "influence" of spirituality projected onto reality.
Even if there was resistance, it was a confrontation in the spiritual realm, not this kind of performance.
But at this moment, it was like some ordinary solid being crushed by a huge force...
A big hole was torn open!
A blurry shadow flew out from the broken "hole", drew a smooth arc, and hit Buck's side!
The shadow was moving so fast that even with Nancy's eyesight, which was enhanced far beyond that of ordinary people by her extraordinary power, she could only barely make out a blurry track.
A deep arc-shaped gully suddenly appeared on the ground where it passed, as if a huge compass had plowed a mark on the land with an unimaginable heavy and fierce force.
"Oh!"
The loud and penetrating sounds of breaking wind were continuous without a single interval, shocking people's hearts like the sound of thunder rolling at the very edge of their bodies.
In just a moment, the shadow came to Buck, who was still maintaining the "Wheel of Disaster".
Directly, hit it!
"Snapped!"
There was a crisp sound like breaking glass, and a layer of polyhedral deep red light film automatically lit up around Buck's body, blocking the position between the shadow and him, trying to block the former's attack.
However, as soon as the shadow touched the light film, the latter shattered into pieces without any resistance.
The shadow running at high speed was not affected at all, its speed and route did not change at all, and it hit Buck's side directly.
"Crack!"
His ragged body instantly twisted into a "C" shape like a curled-up lobster, and his spine and ribs made crisp crackling sounds.
He didn't even have time to scream before he flew sideways like a cannonball!
It flew out at an extremely fast speed, even leaving a trail of afterimage, and rushed along an upward trajectory towards the sky that was dyed golden by the twilight.
But that shadow is faster!
At the same time as it hit Buck, it broke away from the ground in the sudden collapse of the earth, drew an arc again, took a step forward, and blocked Buck who was knocked away.
"boom!"
The moment the two came into contact, a violent air wave mixed with a deafening explosion exploded.
A layer of shock wave visible to the naked eye spread out in a spherical shape in all directions with them as the center, shaking the space with a radius of dozens of meters before running out of energy and dissipating into the air.
The black shadow belonging to Buck fell down, forming an almost right-angle trajectory in mid-air and falling vertically to the ground!
He was like a bomb dropped from a dive bomber, hitting the ground directly, less than ten meters away from where he took off.
"Boom!"
Buck's flesh and blood body smashed a small hole in the ground. Mud and dust flew up with the sound of the impact, rising to several meters before running out of power and slowly falling down, covering the bloody Buck.
It was not until this moment that the "Wheel of Disaster" he released became transparent in a distortion and blur because it lost the support of the caster, and finally disappeared completely.
During the entire process, Buck didn't make a sound.
"Now that we have finished testing the 'toy', there is no need to waste too much time," a pleasant yet childish voice descended from mid-air, like the sound of nature, "Farewell, little cult leader whose name is... um, I forgot what it is."
Because things happened too quickly, Nancy, who was still in a trance, subconsciously looked up and saw the true form of the shadow that had escaped from the "mist" released by the "Wheel of Misfortune".
The pristine, slightly stained black cape billowed and fluttered in the wind.
The cloak with dancing edges cast a haze, obscuring the mysterious face, revealing only a chin with extremely graceful lines, skin as white as snow, and small pink lips with just the right position and outline.
It was the wizard girl who called herself Yaoliuliu.
Supported by an invisible force, she slowly descended, landing as lightly as a feather, without making a sound or raising a speck of dust.
"Well...anyway, thank you very much for your help." Qi Ji smiled at Nancy a little embarrassedly.
When he sent her the "telegram" before, Qi Ji only described some of the facts in detail and did not express his intention to ask her to come here in person.
But now that things have come to that, Qi Ji is psychologically an adult with normal emotional intelligence, and he knows very well that Nancy will almost certainly come to support immediately after receiving the news.
The real purpose of Qi Ji sending this "telegram" was actually just to make the situation more "interesting" and prevent the development of things from being too monotonous and boring.
In other words, in fact, the fundamental reason why Nancy left her work and rest and rushed here from thousands of kilometers away was that Qi Ji wanted to have some fun.
Although Qi Ji was not a thin-skinned person, she still felt her cheeks slightly hot when she recalled this behavior. Embarrassment grew in her heart, and her voice could not help but become a little softer:
"I'll thank you for that."
"Uh..." Nancy was stunned when she heard the other party's pleasant yet weak voice, and finally reacted from her trance.
With an extremely complicated expression, she looked at Buck in the pit, who had a mocking smile on his face and a victorious attitude a few seconds ago, but now had become limp like a puddle of paste, with his bones and joints twisted so that he could no longer be recognized as a human. She then shifted her gaze to Qi Ji.
Nancy saw the slender and petite figure of this girl who had directly endured the blow of the "Wheel of Misfortune" but seemed to be unharmed and even killed her opponent in seconds with incredible strength and speed, and she suddenly didn't know what to say.
What...is going on? !
She thought about it from another perspective. If it were her, and if "that person" didn't help, facing the attack of the black and red fog, even if she was lucky enough not to be injured, she would most likely appear a little hurried and embarrassed.
However, the expression and tone of the cloaked girl were indifferent and calm, as if she was not in any danger.
Could it be that she was equipped with some spiritual item with powerful defensive power that blocked the attack for her in time?
But she quickly rejected this speculation.
Because of her own keen inspiration, she would definitely be able to detect the movement of such a spiritual item with such significant effects when it was activated.
Just now, let alone any signs of the spiritual equipment being activated, she didn't even sense the spiritual fluctuations that would have been produced when casting defensive spells.
In other words... the girl completely used her own body to withstand the erosion of the black and red fog!
It's impossible that for her, this level of damage is not worth mentioning at all? The human body is simply unable to reach this level of strength!
Nancy frowned in thought, unable to believe it for a moment.
Then, a flash of enlightenment suddenly occurred to her, resolving the doubts in her mind.
"I understand……"
Chapter 172 Nancy's Brain
"I always thought she was a mage." She looked thoughtfully at the girl walking towards her:
"But so far, the only extraordinary power she has displayed that belongs to 'magic' is the 'Red Flame Staff', and it was performed based on the material carrier of the staff..."
And this trick can be achieved entirely with spiritual equipment!
"If she is actually a warrior, but she is carrying some high-level spiritual equipment, then many questions can be explained..."
The strength and speed she showed when she defeated Buck just now were far beyond the level of a wizard!
As for the body of a righteous warrior, as long as he reacts in time and uses his spiritual power to arrange his body's defense, it is not impossible for him to withstand the damage of the black and red fog in a short period of time...
Thinking of this, she understood a lot at once, and immediately said to the girl in a concerned tone:
"Your injuries...are they all right?"
Even for a warrior, even one at the peak of righteousness, being directly hit by an attack like that would definitely not be pleasant.
Although the girl looked calm and composed, was she really not injured by that force?
Nancy carefully observed her every move and found that her pace was quite slow, like an old person taking a walk.
