Chapter 96 Night Raid by the Doll!
Nighttime, on a secluded path in Longhu Mountain.
Moonlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled patterns of light on the damp stone path.
Yun walked alone, her footsteps sounding particularly jarring in the deathly silence of the woods.
He had just parted ways with his friends and was on his way back to the dojo dormitory.
He was walking and thinking, his mind filled with thoughts of the competition the day after tomorrow. After all, his opponent tomorrow wasn't strong, and he would most likely run into Lu Xiaobai after he advanced.
The mask covered most of his face, revealing only a pair of calm eyes.
Yun couldn't help but recall Lu Xiaobai's methods during the competition, whether it was the eerie white flames, the strange incantations, or the moves that could possibly transform into a physical body.
This person's understanding of magic and techniques far surpasses that of ordinary supernatural beings.
The difference is really huge.
Yun helplessly touched the cold hilt of the "Measuring Ruler" on his back.
These two long swords were his only trump card.
Just now, Wang Ergou gave him a few tips: start by launching a surprise attack with two "Heavenly Slashes", not aiming to hit the opponent, but just to force him to dodge or block, even if it's just for the blink of an eye!
Then immediately channel a large amount of Qi into your legs and pounce on them at top speed for close combat!
Most mages are physically weak, and once they are brought into close combat, they are at a great disadvantage.
Looking at Lu Xiaobai's slender figure, you can tell that he definitely belongs to this category.
So this is his only chance.
At this moment, Yun was still pondering tactics as he walked forward along the familiar path.
Suddenly, a figure walked towards them from the front.
Yun didn't pay attention at first, thinking that he was a contestant who was also returning late, and habitually slowed down, preparing to step aside to let him pass.
When the two closed to within ten meters, Yun's heart suddenly skipped a beat!
Something is wrong!
The sound of those footsteps—it was so monotonous!
Tap—tap—tap—the intervals and pressure of each step are exactly the same, so precise it's unreal!
It was as if the surrounding air had been frozen by this eerie atmosphere, the chirping of insects had disappeared, and only the monotonous footsteps pounded the deathly silence, bringing a heavy pressure.
A chill suddenly shot up Yun's back!
Almost instinctively, Yun reached behind him with both hands like lightning and gripped the hilt of the "Measuring Ruler" tightly. His heart pounded instantly, and his eyes behind the mask became as sharp as an eagle's as he stared intently ahead!
The moonlight clearly illuminated the person who had arrived—wait, that wasn't a person at all!
Its pale body resembled cheap porcelain or metal, gleaming with a lifeless light under the moonlight.
His body lines were stiff and rigid, and his joints showed an inhuman stiffness.
What's most unsettling is that face—its features are blank and lifeless, and two eerie red lights in its deep-set eye sockets scan him like detectors!
"Who?!"
Yun shouted sharply, his voice exploding in the silence!
At the same time, with a flick of the wrist, "clang!"
With two clear, sharp clangs, he instantly drew two "measuring rulers" from his waist!
A chilling aura emanated from the blade!
However, what answered him was a pale shadow that tore through his vision!
Swish!
Suddenly, the red light in the doll's eyes surged!
A pale arm stretched and twisted in an instant, defying all logic, with a piercing shriek, like a white lightning bolt, fast and ruthless, piercing straight towards Yun's chest!
"?!" Yun's pupils suddenly contracted!
too fast!
He only had time to desperately channel all his Qi into the blades, then hold the two blades in front of his chest to withstand the attack!
"clang--!!!"
A crisp sound of impact rang out!
A terrifying force slammed into the blade! The blade vibrated violently, making Yun's arms go numb!
"Snap—Splash—"
Then, a chilling voice rang out!
The "measuring stick" began to crack inch by inch from the spot where it was hit, like a spider web!
Under Yun's incredulous gaze, the tough alloy blade shattered like a piece of ice being broken, leaving a trail of debris on the ground!
Fragments, shimmering with a dim silver light, scattered everywhere!
In an instant, immense fear engulfed the clouds!
At this moment, tactics and the game itself were completely forgotten!
The eerie doll before you is a stark threat of death!
run!
The instinct to survive overcame everything!
Without the slightest hesitation, Yun even threw away the hilt of the knife in his hand. He twisted his waist and turned around abruptly, desperately pouring all his Qi into his legs!
"Whoosh!"
Like an arrow released from a bow, Yun burst forth at the fastest speed she had ever seen, fleeing desperately back the way she came!
The wind whistled in my ears, and my heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would jump out of my throat.
He had only one thought in his mind: rush to a crowded place!
"Damn it! It's someone from Quanxing?!" In a panic, Yun's hand trembled as she reached into her pocket for her phone—
call--!
However, a faster and colder whooshing sound came from behind him!
Before Yun could react, she felt a sudden weight press down on the back of her right shoulder!
A cold, hard hand, like an iron clamp, had already gripped his shoulder tightly!
"Ugh!"
A sharp pain exploded instantly!
The momentum of sprinting forward and the terrifying, unyielding grip on his shoulder were locked in a brutal struggle!
He seemed to hear the sound of his shoulder blades and muscle fibers being torn apart!
The tearing pain made his vision go black, and his running figure was frozen in place, like a wooden stake nailed to the ground!
Suddenly, the red light in the doll's eyes flashed!
His eyes were fixed intently on the clouds!
【The Accumulated Magic Eye: Projection Magic, High-Frequency Compression!】
Buzz!
In an instant, Yun felt as if she had been thrown into hard cement!
An irresistible, terrifying pressure suddenly descended from all directions!
The high-frequency magical vibrations were frantically squeezing and binding every inch of his body!
The muscles were screaming, the bones were groaning, and the inside of my body felt like I had fallen into a quagmire, unable to move at all!
He was pinned to the spot, unable to move even a finger! Breathing became incredibly difficult, and it felt like his throat was being choked!
"Well----"
Yun's face was contorted with pain and suffocation, and cold sweat soaked the edges of her mask.
He struggled to turn his eyes to look at the pale, doll-like face so close to his.
Under the moonlight, that expressionless face and flickering red eyes exuded a chilling eeriness.
"Who are you----"
With all her remaining strength, Yun forced out the last broken words from her throat: "What—you—want—to—do—it—?"
The doll did not respond.
I just quietly watched the clouds struggling in vain, like watching a small insect that had crashed into a spider web.
Moonlight shone on its smooth, pale surface, reflecting a lifeless light like that of a plastic mannequin.
Immediately afterwards, the red light in the doll's eyes flashed! The brightness instantly increased to its maximum!
Buzz!
A cold, domineering, and irresistible force instantly swept through the depths of Yun's consciousness!
His vision was gradually swallowed up by the blinding red light, as if a curtain had been drawn, plunging him into boundless darkness!
All the struggles, pain, and doubts —
The feeling and thoughts belonging to "clouds" were forcibly cut off and swallowed up in the instant of that flash of red light.
His body remained stiff in place, in a final, struggling posture, his face beneath the mask frozen in an expression of pain and horror.
Seeing this, the red light in the doll's eyes gradually dimmed, returning to its previous darkness.
It just quietly watched the unconscious cloud in front of it.
After a long while, tap—tap—·tap—·————
The rhythmic footsteps that sent shivers down your spine rang out once again.
The pale doll made no extra movements, as if it had just finished a trivial task.
It turned around, and with stiff, mechanical steps, slowly walked into the shadows deeper into the woods, eventually disappearing completely into the night of Longhu Mountain.
