Chapter 497 The Fierce Battle
Chapter 497 The Fierce Battle
"So, are we just going to stay here and watch?" Xiao Xiao couldn't help but ask after hearing Chang Lei's words.
"What else!?"
Chang Lei's eyes widened as well.
"Don't you have any idea what their fighting strength is compared to ours? Even that white-haired rat doesn't know!"
"But aren't you a high-ranking official?"
"I..." Chang Lei choked for a moment. "I already said I'm not a combat type. I won't lose in a one-on-one fight, but I can't do anything about him. If we go up there, I'm afraid we won't be able to help, and we'll just be a hindrance."
At this point, Chang Lei frowned and looked towards the battlefield. "Now we can only pray that the two of them can suppress that God of Time and Space..." High above Shanghai, two bolts of lightning clashed fiercely, each exchange producing a terrifying explosion that reverberated through the sky. The dazzling lightning even filled the entire field of vision. The young man made repeated attacks, trying to catch his opponent's figure in time, but Qiu Yun gave him no chance. She used her magical lightning to protect her entire body, and whenever that temporal energy appeared, she would slip away as soon as the lightning around her was frozen. Just as the two were locked in a fierce battle, a dark shadow suddenly emerged from the corner of the light. By the time the God of Time and Space noticed it, the jet-black spear had already pierced his body.
He raised his hand to block, his palm suddenly pressing against the tip of the spear. The terrifying and eerie energy made the boy frown.
"This power..." Sensing the shadowy power that was the same as the one that killed the God of Life, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the God of Time and Space. Then, a dark light suddenly flashed in his eyes and he blasted it straight toward the head of the lost ray.
But just as this eerie light erupted, a sword made of lightning blocked its path.
Realizing that Qiu Yun had blocked the attack for him, Shi Yao, who was about to retreat, suddenly flicked his spear, instantly deflecting the God of Time's hand.
The next moment, pitch-black shadows and flashing lightning erupted instantly, slamming into the God of Time and Space, whose center gate was wide open.
But the God of Time and Space suddenly vanished from his spot, and two terrifying attacks slammed directly into the city below. The skyscrapers, tens of meters high, let out a mournful cry and swayed as they collapsed.
Qiu Yun's expression changed as he suddenly noticed the air behind him distorting slightly. Shi Yao reacted even faster, launching a counterattack.
"Interesting." The boy sneered as he gripped the spear tightly, a ghostly light swirling in his palm. The black, hard spear instantly began to emit smoke. Feeling the shadow power surging and becoming increasingly uncontrollable, Shi Yao gritted his teeth, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"Under other circumstances, perhaps I really couldn't do anything about you, but your weaknesses are actually quite obvious."
As the God of Time and Space spoke, the dark clouds in the sky above suddenly began to churn violently, as if an invisible hand was tearing them apart.
To Qiu Yun's astonishment, the clouds he had summoned were torn open by some force.
Blinding sunlight pierced through the clouds and instantly enveloped Shi Yao, causing the terrifying aura she exuded to diminish abruptly. Frowning, Shi Yao couldn't help but let out a muffled groan. Although the sunlight couldn't kill her now, its effect was still very noticeable. "Can you feel it? The blazing power of the midsummer sun..."
The ray hadn't expected that its opponent could even manipulate the timing of sunlight; its body was instantly transformed into a shadow and banished by the light.
The boy grinned, then with a sudden burst of strength, snapped the spear formed from the power of shadow in two. He then gripped the spear tip and thrust it back at Qiu Yun's neck.
Qiu Yun raised his hand to block the railing, and the silver-white lightning and shadow power clashed violently, bursting out irregular energy fluctuations in mid-air.
At the same time, the God of Time and Space raised the cannon on his other arm, and terrifying energy gathered out once again.
Upon seeing this, Qiu Yun was slightly startled, and his body suddenly transformed into lightning, crashing into the God of Time and Space.
The intense lightning, with its unstoppable force, directly interrupted the gathering of the God of Time and Space's energy, and the two of them were immediately swept towards the ground by the lightning.
boom!!
A deafening roar resounded, the entire earth seemed to tremble, the overpass in the distance began to collapse, and the surrounding buildings began to sway precariously.
Seeing the terrifying destructive power, and the two superhumans who had fought their way from the city center to the other side of the city in the blink of an eye, the surrounding crowd screamed.
They had tried their best to escape, but how could they possibly outrun lightning? As the battlefield shifted again, despair appeared on many faces.
It seems that nowhere in this city is safe.
A man holding his daughter huddled behind the ruins in the cold wind.
They had run as fast as they could, but unfortunately, whether they were lucky or not, the place directly in front of them was where Qiu Yun and the God of Time and Space had fallen.
Holding his daughter tightly, listening to her sobs, the man felt a deep sense of oppression and despair.
Just then, a drop of water landed on his head.
At first, it was just one drop, then a second, a third. Gradually, a torrential downpour began, as if washing away something, cleansing the entire city.
The God of Time and Space also noticed the unusual raindrops. He could sense that the surrounding atmosphere was being affected by some kind of magic. Not far away, several bolts of lightning quickly converged into Qiu Yun's figure. She turned her head slightly to look into the distance, where a blue light was flashing. She could clearly sense that it was the magic of a fellow magical girl like herself.
On the rooftop of the building, Xiao Xiao held up her Star Staff, and the dazzling blue light, along with the magic of the water element, fully converged to create the heavy rain that enveloped the entire city.
"Heh..." Looking at the girl who summoned the rain clouds and the magic in the rain that posed no threat whatsoever, the God of Time and Space couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
"Summoning cumulonimbus clouds, is it to assist codename: Qiu Yun's lightning element? Too bad, I can easily... um?" As he spoke, the God of Time and Space suddenly seemed taken aback, for he could clearly sense the city's life force rapidly waning. His azure mechanical pupils gazed blankly into the distance, his gaze piercing through countless skyscrapers, and he clearly saw the panicked people disappearing one by one into the reflections of the puddles on the ground.
On the rooftop, next to Xiao Xiao, Chang Lei calmly watched the scene with his arms crossed.
The portal to the reverse passage finally opened to ordinary people, and everyone in the Demon City was instantly transported to other places in the reflection. "Buildings can be rebuilt, but losing your life is terrible. They say once is enough, twice is not enough, and three times is not enough. I don't want to let heretics and demons get a share of the spoils after solving this problem."
Her gaze slowly returned from the distance, a smile playing on Qiu Yun's lips, and the anxiety that had been gripping her finally eased slightly. She turned around, her sharp eyes instantly fixed on the God of Time and Space not far away.
"Now that no one's bothering us, I won't hide anything anymore..."
As Qiu Yun spoke, sparks began to flash throughout the city, and some lights flickered on and off, as if sensing something. The God of Time and Space's expression shifted; he could sense that the energy level within the woman's body was constantly rising, and he couldn't predict its upper limit.
"So what if my magic is powerful? I can freeze lightning."
boom!!
As they spoke, terrifying lightning suddenly shot into the sky, and Qiu Yun's fist also fiercely struck the face of the God of Time and Space, the terrifying energy exploding with a violent bang that spread outwards.
The God of Time and Space transformed into a streak of light, slicing through the air and smashing through dozens of buildings, causing a series of explosions. Seeing this, everyone in front of the screen gasped in surprise, followed by a surge of wild joy.
Since the start of the battle, they have finally seen someone who can actually inflict effective damage on the God of Time and Space.
The crisp sound of metal hitting the ground rang out.
The God of Time and Space slowly rose from the ruins.
His left cheek was covered with spiderweb-like cracks, making his face look ferocious.
Touching the scars on his face, the boy could no longer suppress the murderous intent in his eyes.
"...Electric energy is just the most basic form of energy. I mastered this energy long before the dawn of a new era. You have no idea what kind of energy I possess."
Funny! Funny!
The flapping of wings accompanied a hissing sound.
The God of Time and Space, who was marveling at this, suddenly turned his head and saw a golden streak of light charging towards him like a shooting star. It was a horse, a pure white unicorn with wings on its back!
On the horse's back, a woman clad in half-body armor wielded a lance and hurtled towards them, trailing long golden streaks of light.
"So you're the one who hired a bunch of people to assassinate me four months ago, right?! Try this!!"
Upon hearing this, the God of Time and Space twitched at the corner of his mouth and suddenly erected a time force field in front of him.
"And who are you?!"
