“It’s good that I’m not too late. Then I’ll just keep singing to cheer you all on, since I don’t really have any fighting ability myself.”
“Then we’ll leave it to you, Miss Ji Zige.”
“You can count on me!”
After speaking to Bai Yuling, Ji Zige quickly activated her supernatural power, took out her专属 weapon, the Magic Voice Microphone, opened up her voice, and sang her heart out, providing a boost to everyone present except for those from the Undead Association.
Because this time Ji Zige wasn’t broadcasting her singing through electronic devices but was singing directly in front of people, once she used her supernatural power, her presence as a peak four-star supernatural being quickly spread out in all directions. This instantly made everyone present, including Bai Yuling and Old Lady Victoria’s group of three, show looks of shock.
“Such an astonishing presence! Miss Ji Zige, have you already broken through to a new level? How did you manage that?”
“This presence isn’t from a three-star supernatural being; it’s from a four-star. That blue-haired girl with pigtails who suddenly appeared is actually a four-star supernatural being.”
“A four-star supernatural being? How is that possible! Our president is so talented, and he’s still just a peak three-star.”
“A four-star supernatural being… this is really getting troublesome now.”
Feeling the terrifying presence coming from Ji Zige, Old Lady Victoria no longer had that relaxed look from before and couldn’t help but think to herself,
“Maka, Hua, let’s break out of here right now. Don’t waste any time.”
After saying this to Maka and Hua Yiya behind her, Old Lady Victoria immediately controlled her five ghosts to launch a very fierce offensive against Zhao Mei’er, Hu Yao’er, Ji Zige, and the bureau members, hoping this would buy them enough time to escape.
“Old lady, where do you think you’re taking your people?”
Just as Old Lady Victoria led Maka and Hua Yiya a few steps forward, a black figure suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their path. The figure asked Old Lady Victoria in a teasing tone,
“Little girl, please step aside. Otherwise, this old lady here won’t be polite.”
Looking at the black figure appearing before her, recognizing her as Si Yexing, the member of the Free Life Association who had been the first to arrive and block her attack, Old Lady Victoria couldn’t help but frown. She then spoke to Si Yexing in a deep voice, hoping this would make her move out of the way.
“No way. Not only will I, the Grim Reaper, not move, but I’m also going to arrest all you criminals and hand you over to the Supernatural Affairs Bureau for disposal.”
Hearing Old Lady Victoria’s warning, Si Yexing, who had fully recovered her fighting strength after receiving treatment from Hu Yao’er, showed no fear at all. She just smiled and spoke very seriously.
“Hmph, little girls sure like to talk big. Then this old lady would like to see if you, all by yourself, actually have the ability to catch us.”
Hearing Si Yexing’s words, Old Lady Victoria knew her original plan had fallen through, and her face instantly turned gloomy.
After saying this to Si Yexing, she didn’t hesitate to pick up her weapon, activate her supernatural power, and attack Si Yexing.
Seeing her opponent make a move, Si Yexing immediately wiped the smile off her face and swung her black scythe to meet her enemy.
“Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!”
The sounds of weapons clashing fiercely rang out repeatedly in the air. Old Lady Victoria, who had exchanged dozens of blows with Si Yexing in less than half a minute, ended this brief clash after delivering a powerful strike. Both stepped back twenty paces to a safe distance.
“Not bad, old lady. I didn’t expect that at your age, you could still fight someone as young as me, the Grim Reaper, for this long.”
Si Yexing hadn’t suffered any losses in the earlier exchange and hadn’t used up much energy either. Looking at Old Lady Victoria, whose condition was much worse than her own, she spoke with a smug smile.
“Mrs. Victoria, are you okay?”
Maka came to Old Lady Victoria’s side after her clash with Si Yexing and asked with concern, since she was the key to whether they could escape the encirclement of the Fangfeng City Supernatural Affairs Bureau and the Free Life Association today.
“I’m fine. It’s just that I’ve used up more stamina and supernatural power than I expected.”
Old Lady Victoria pressed her chest to steady her breathing and quickly answered Maka.
“Mrs. Victoria, in this state, can you still get out of here?”
Hua Yiya, the black-haired beauty standing on the other side, also asked with concern.
“Don’t worry. It’s still pretty easy for me to get out of here. It might be a bit troublesome and cost me something, though.”
Knowing what Hua Yiya was worried about, Old Lady Victoria didn’t try to hide anything and answered directly.
“Are you done chatting? If you are, surrender quickly and wait for the Supernatural Affairs Bureau to deal with you.”
Watching the three people talking over there, Si Yexing, who had already prepared for her next attack, quickly said this to them.
“Little girl, you only had a slight advantage earlier. This old lady hasn’t fallen yet. Thinking you can make us surrender just like that — aren’t you being a bit too arrogant?”
“Arrogant? Whether it’s arrogance or not, old lady, you can tell me after you take my Reaping Art.”
Not wanting to waste any more time with Old Lady Victoria, Si Yexing quickly swung her black scythe and launched her attack.
Seeing Si Yexing charging at her with such ferocity, Old Lady Victoria naturally didn’t dare to get distracted by anything else. She immediately focused all her attention on the battle, afraid that one moment of carelessness would let Si Yexing’s black scythe cut her in half.
“This won’t do. If this keeps up, even if that four-star supernatural being doesn’t come down to deal with me, this little girl will take me down. Looks like I have no choice but to use that method.”
After exchanging dozens more blows with Si Yexing and deeply realizing the gap between herself and her opponent, Old Lady Victoria knew it was time to use that method, because it was the only way she could have a chance to get her people out of here.
After delivering another powerful strike to create enough distance from Si Yexing, Old Lady Victoria quickly used the method she had thought of earlier.
