Volume 6 Chapter 89
by Golden DragonVolume 6 + Chapter 89: She Started Spinning!
Clang~
Xia Yi tossed the broken iron rod onto the floor. After successfully blocking Lao Huo’s bullets with it, she wore an utterly relaxed expression.
As though what she had just done was nothing difficult at all.
“Guess I’ve barely gotten used to it,” she said.
The entire room fell silent.
Was this… even something possible in reality?
If anyone else had stood where Xia Yi had just been, facing that kind of gunfire, something even more excessive than an execution by firing squad, they would have died without question.
Yet Xia Yi was completely unharmed.
This was outright cheating!
“This is fake! It has to be fake! She definitely used some kind of trick!!”
Lao Huo’s mentality finally shattered as he roared hysterically.
“Everyone, fire together! Shoot her to death for me!!”
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Everyone raised their guns, the dark muzzles aimed at Xia Yi as another wave of bullets poured toward her.
“Oh? So we’re raising the difficulty now?”
Xia Yi lifted the Rose Staff in her hand.
Heart Like Still Water.
Ever since stepping into the Sword Saint realm, her understanding of swordsmanship had transcended the ordinary. Even objects that were not swords could be treated as blades in her hands.
The staff originally meant for casting magic was now infused with razor-sharp sword intent, displaying astonishing swordsmanship.
Xia Yi continuously increased the speed of her swings until afterimages began to appear. Nobody could even see how she was moving anymore, they could only hear the nonstop metallic clashes and the constant sound of bullets falling to the floor.
Not a single bullet broke through her defensive web.
“The bullets from the Molent Typewriter can even penetrate magical barriers!”
“There’s no way you can block them!!”
“A normal dragon should’ve already been blasted into minced meat! There’s no reason you should still be standing!!”
Lao Huo had completely lost his composure. Veins bulged across his forehead, the refined aura around him gone without a trace. He kept pulling the trigger over and over, even after the magazine had emptied, as though possessed.
After all, what was happening before him utterly shattered common sense.
“Finished talking? Then I’m about to start spinning.”
While slashing apart bullets, Xia Yi casually threw out a sentence nobody could understand.
“What? Spinning?”
Lao Huo had no idea what Xia Yi meant by “spinning.”
Very soon, however, she demonstrated through action.
Her large silver tail hooked an iron pipe off the floor and handed it to the hand not holding the Rose Staff. Then, she infused the pipe with her sword intent.
At that moment, what she held was no longer an iron pipe.
It had become a sword.
“Hah!”
Xia Yi leapt into the air, adjusting her posture mid-flight. Twisting her waist and driving her arms, she swung both weapons as her body rotated in midair.
She unleashed a storm of sword energy.
Violent currents wrapped around her body as she became like a spinning tornado, sweeping across the hall.
She started spinning!
“What, what the hell is that?!”
The people inside Old Times Wine Café were completely dumbfounded. They fired wildly into the storm, but the raging airflow deflected the bullets from their original trajectories, causing ricochets. Some people were even struck by stray shots themselves.
The tornado rampaged straight into the crowd. Xia Yi smashed both weapons into the ground, unleashing a finishing strike so powerful that the entire building trembled violently. Cracks spread across the walls and ceiling.
Boom!
“Tornado destroys the Molent Typewriter!”
Xia Yi blasted the entire crowd flying backward, and the shockwave spreading outward destroyed every Molent Typewriter in their hands.
In truth, this move was not Xia Yi’s original technique.
She had experienced this sword style back at Laurel Tree Academy while fighting the disaster-corrupted Kobe.
Now she had improved upon it and recreated it herself.
Even the naming style of the move was a tribute to Kobe.
Seeing this scene, Lao Huo immediately realized the overwhelming gap in strength between himself and Xia Yi.
This was no longer something that numbers alone could overwhelm.
No matter how many firearms they had, it no longer meant anything.
“Bi Yangde, how long are you planning to keep sleeping?! Get up already!!”
Lao Huo shouted toward Bi Yangde lying on the floor.
“Don’t let this woman destroy our business!!”
“Damn it… I got careless earlier!”
Bi Yangde slowly climbed back to his feet, clearly still disoriented as he held his head.
“Bi Yangde, kill her! I already paid you!!”
“ROARRR!”
Bi Yangde let out a furious roar as an overwhelming aura exploded from his body. His muscles swelled violently, even tearing apart the suit he wore.
He fully unleashed the beastly nature within himself. His hair stood on end, rationality vanished from his eyes, leaving behind only rage toward Xia Yi.
And in that fury, he became even stronger.
“You little brat… you dare injure me!!”
Bi Yangde dropped to all fours and charged toward Xia Yi like a raging lion.
“Good! That’s right! Bi Yangde, buy me some time! The rest of you, go call the Security Patrol Squad and get them over here! Tell them someone is causing trouble in our café!!”
Lao Huo shouted orders to the people who still remained standing while he turned and fled in his wheelchair.
He pushed the wheelchair at astonishing speed, perhaps driven by pure survival instinct. He could practically drift corners with it.
Clearly, he intended to abandon Bi Yangde and escape alone.
“Die!!”
Bi Yangde clasped both hands together and smashed downward at Xia Yi like a giant hammer.
“Quit blocking the way!”
Xia Yi raised her weapon and slashed upward, carving a bloody wound across Bi Yangde’s chest and knocking him backward.
She was about to pursue Lao Huo, but the injured Bi Yangde lunged back up again, opening his blood-soaked jaws and trying to bite through her neck.
“You’re like a rabid dog. Never-ending.”
Xia Yi frowned.
After transforming into a beast, Bi Yangde’s physical abilities had increased dramatically. Fighting purely on instinct, he ignored his injuries entirely, refusing to stop until one of them died.
She could defeat him, but it would take time.
And that time would allow Lao Huo to escape.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind.
She snapped the iron pipe in her hand into two halves.
As Bi Yangde attacked again, she leapt over him and landed directly on his back.
Standing atop the lion-man, Xia Yi raised the two broken pipe segments and drove them brutally downward through his arms.
“AAAAAAARGH!!”
Bi Yangde let out a miserable scream.
The two iron pipes pierced through both his arms and nailed him directly into the floor, rendering him unable to move.
“If I can just reach that place…!”
Lao Huo frantically pushed his wheelchair, finally nearing the elevator entrance.
Just as hope came into view,
A ghostlike voice sounded from directly behind him.
“Hmph. Trying to run?”
Xia Yi had already caught up.
She raised the Rose Staff in her hand and, without mercy, unleashed physical magic upon the wheelchair, smashing it to pieces and sending Lao Huo crashing heavily onto the floor.
“W-What are you going to do, ?!”
Collapsed on the ground, Lao Huo propped up his upper body, his face filled with terror.
The silver-haired dragon girl revealed a gentle smile.
“What am I going to do…? Isn’t that obvious?”
