Chapter 190 Shadow
The Totoro Demon seemed to have sensed that something was wrong as well.
The girl in front of him seemed to be able to predict his every attack, not only being able to grasp the direction of his attack in advance, but also dodging in advance.
After fighting for a long time, he couldn't even touch the hem of her clothes. This was completely beyond his impression of magical girls. Shouldn't those girls be chanting spells while kiting him? Why are they all starting to play melee combat now?
Seeing that Tangcao had dodged his attack again, Totoro Outer Path Demon did not immediately make a further move.
Judging from her tilted body, attacking her legs at this moment would be the most correct choice. With a bit of luck, it could break her balance and render her unable to move.
But that would only be if I was lucky. Judging from her agile movements, if I really attacked her feet, I would likely fall into her trap again.
Thinking of this, Totoro Outer Path Demon decisively abandoned his initial idea, roared and charged directly at Tangcao's chest.
At that very moment, Tang Cao's gaze sharpened, and her face turned as cold as ice.
"You've fallen into their trap." Qin Nan's lips curled into a smile.
The next moment, Tang Cao braced herself with one hand on the ground, and two sharp blades made of ice suddenly appeared on her feet, a sight known as "Ice Soul Dance".
With his hands spinning rapidly on the ice, the upside-down Tangcao spun around like a top, while the blades made of pure ice struck the abdomen of Totoro Outer Path Demon repeatedly.
With a whoosh, blood splattered everywhere. The Dragon Cat Demon only saw a blur before his massive body was slashed by the ice blades wrapped around it, leaving trails of blood.
Looking at Tangcao again, she nimbly flipped to her feet, her ice blades stepping on the ice, lightly widening the distance between her and Totoro Outer Demon as if she were ice skating.
Just when Totoro Outer Demon thought the attack was over, he found that Tangcao suddenly appeared behind him at an unexpected speed and quickly approached him.
He only had time to raise his hand to block before a sharp pain shot through his arm as the ice blade ripped through his flesh again, causing him to let out a piercing scream.
With the shift in offense and defense, Tangcao completely seized control of the rhythm of the battle.
Xiao Bai couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
"This...this is street fighting?"
Ignoring Xiaobai's antics, Qin Nan crossed his arms and watched with great interest as Tang Cao slowly tortured the heretical demon below.
"As expected of her, she was able to learn the basics of the wolf rider's movements after only seeing it once, and then use that to create her own fighting style. Her learning ability is simply monstrous."
"Who says otherwise?" Little Grey was also surprised, but considering that Tang Cao was that person's sister, it didn't seem so unacceptable. "Maybe their family genes are good..."
It didn't take long; having achieved the goal of feeding the summoner, Tangcao looked at the panting Totoro Outer Path Demon.
Finally, he stomped on the dark crystal on his forehead, ending his sinful life.
Tang Cao gently picked up the largest fragment of the dark crystal and ran towards Qin Nan with a grin.
"Sister Nan, it's done! Look, it's a dark crystal! I'm going to save it. Once the negative energy dissipates and it turns into emerald crystal, it might be very useful!"
Hearing Tang Cao's words, Qin Nan smiled and leaped down. "Not bad, keep it safe. This will provide you with a lot of magic power after you break through to orange level."
Little Grey suddenly shuddered for no apparent reason. He thought of Tang Zijun's fish tank; indeed, their collecting obsession was inherited.
Once everything was over, Su Siyao slowly ran over.
"How about it? I'm pretty useful, aren't I? I've read the Sherlock Holmes stories, so finding traces of the heretics is a piece of cake for me."
"I know you're good, but you shouldn't use this kind of tactic in the future. After all, you're just an ordinary person, and it's too dangerous for you to do it," Qin Nan said.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid!" Su Siyao said earnestly. "Look how convincing my acting was just now, even the heretic demon was fooled by me."
Xiao Bai nodded. "Indeed, the fear you portrayed was truly lifelike, managing to attract the heretics."
"Is it possible that the fear wasn't acted out...?"
"It's all an act, absolutely an act!" Su Siyao waved her little fist.
"Okay, okay, you're acting, Miss Yao Yao, get out of character now." Tang Cao stuck out her tongue. "If you went to art school, you'd definitely be a legend in film history."
"Of course! I'm a master of elementary deduction. Not only do I have to play the criminal, but I also have to play the victim—that's a real art!"
Hearing Su Siyao's excited voice, Qin Nan also showed a relaxed smile.
Just then, Qin Nan noticed something was wrong out of the corner of her eye.
She paused for a moment, then her gaze fell on the ground.
The shadows beneath the feet of the three intertwined, with one of the shadows swaying as Su Siyao danced.
Qin Nan frowned slightly and silently took half a step back.
Immediately afterwards, Su Siyao's shadow was completely cleared, and at the same time, under the dim streetlights, a double image appeared at Su Siyao's feet.
It was a slender figure, exactly like Su Siyao, with long hair.
But Su Siyao: Isn't it short hair?
Qin Nan felt a chill run down his spine, and then looked at the shadow that was imitating Su Siyao's every move. At this moment, he felt goosebumps all over his body.
"who!?"
With a sudden, soft shout, Qin Nan's dagger instantly pierced the shadow, and then she grabbed Su Siyao and pulled her behind her.
Su Siyao was speaking enthusiastically when she was startled by Qin Nan's sudden action. She swallowed back the words she was about to say and looked at Qin Nan with a mixture of confusion and shock in her eyes.
Tang Cao instantly assumed a fighting stance. She didn't know what had happened, but she knew that Senior Qin Nan wouldn't act without a reason.
Tangcao looked around repeatedly but saw nothing. Even Xiaohui and Xiaobai were stunned, observing the surrounding scene with confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Su Siyao's voice sounded a little nervous.
"Wasn't the heretic demon defeated?"
Qin Nan was no longer in the mood to answer Su Siyao's words. Her gaze was fixed on her amethyst dagger, and then she noticed that the shadow had disappeared.
Suddenly remembering something, Qin Nan turned around sharply to look at Su Siyao.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Su Siyao felt a little uneasy under Qin Nan's gaze.
Qin Nan took two steps back, and the dagger rose into the air and returned to her hand.
"That thing is in your shadow!"
The air fell silent as soon as he said that.
Tang Cao was slightly taken aback, and then she also noticed Su Siyao's strange figure.
Suddenly, the shadow beneath Su Siyao's feet began to writhe. Even though Su Siyao hadn't moved, the shadow spread out and twisted into other shapes.
The next moment, Su Siyao's eyes rolled back, as if all her strength had been drained, and she collapsed to the ground.
"Yao Yao!"
"Don't go over there!" Qin Nan grabbed Tang Cao, who was trying to rush over. "That thing is still here!"
After a moment of shock, Tang Cao quickly calmed down.
Although she was very worried about Su Siyao's safety, in the current situation, if the immediate trouble was not resolved, the two of them might also be in danger.
After calming down, Tang Cao stared intently at Su Siyao's shadow.
"Yaoyao is fine, she should just have fainted. I can feel her breathing," Qin Nan said calmly, gripping the dagger tightly.
Tang Cao remained silent for a moment before speaking.
"Sister Nan, that thing seems unable to invade our shadows; it can only attach itself to ordinary people."
Unable to invade the magical girl's shadow?
Qin Nan frowned deeply.
Just then.
Snap, snap, snap...
Slow, crisp applause suddenly broke the silence of the street.
"You've seen that in such a short time, that's impressive."
"who!"
Qin Nan suddenly looked in the direction from which the sound came, and saw a woman in a black evening dress calmly watching him and Tang Cao under a street lamp in the distance.
Tang Cao also saw the strange woman. "Who are you? What did you do to Yao Yao?"
"Hehe... Instead of worrying about your friends, you should worry about yourselves." The woman smiled seductively and patted her ear twice.
Immediately afterwards, shadows suddenly emerged from the surrounding shadows. These shadows moved along the ground at an extremely fast speed into the light of the street lamps, and then materialized from the ground.
The visual impact of this scene is enormous; it looks as if the shadow has "stood up," creating a strange sense of transitioning from 2D to 3D.
These shadowy figures, which transformed into humanoid creatures, all looked the same. They wore masks, appeared to be men, and each wore a suit, with a slender build and a height of nearly two meters.
"Holy crap, the Shadow Legion!?"
Little Grey screamed in terror.
Hearing Xiao Hui's exclamation, the woman in black smiled.
"The Shadow Clan isn't something that can be controlled with masks or magical symbols, but you could also think of it that way, because they..."
"...They're all assassins."
As soon as the words were spoken, the shadow figures immediately began to move.
They rushed towards Tang Cao and Qin Nan at lightning speed, so fast that they were almost invisible to the naked eye.
"A speed contest?" Qin Nan asked coldly, spreading his wings and instantly creating a series of wind blades.
The speed Qin Nan unleashed at full power made him a blur, instantly passing over the heads of the Shadow Clan and flashing towards the woman in black.
Seeing this, the woman raised her hand and smashed the streetlight. Her vision went black, and her figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.
Qin Nan frowned, and then saw an extremely dark shadow moving rapidly on the dark ground.
"Found you!"
The dagger shot out like a bullet.
The shadow twisted its body abruptly, narrowly dodging the dagger, and then continued to flee into the distance.
"Tang Cao, you..."
"Don't worry, Sister Nan, leave this to me. You go after them!"
Tang Cao nimbly dodged the attacks of the Shadow Clan, and didn't forget to turn around and wave at Qin Nan.
At that moment, Xiaobai also ran over.
"Make way, everyone! I'm about to make my move!"
