Chapter 458: Chapter 278: Gu Qiye and You Ruirui Join the Battle (Bonus 4/10)
Up to now, the situation of the prison break operation in New Leaf Village has far exceeded Ji Minghuan’s expectations.
He never thought that the Salvation Society did not send reinforcements, Julius was struggling and almost killed by the White Crow Travel Brigade, but in the end, it was "Gu Qiye," who had just joined Rainbow Wings, and the Extreme Ice Maiden "You Ruirui," who came to help.
Perhaps, was Rainbow Wings the reinforcements sent by the Salvation Society? Regardless, since the two from Rainbow Wings saved the unconscious Julius, if we want to take Julius away, we must force them to retreat.
Thinking of this, Xia Pingzhou instinctively glanced around, "Since Rainbow Wings is chasing the White Crow Travel Brigade, it’s likely Urushibara Ryuri is nearby too. Why would she miss the chance to contact her brother? So, as long as we force my brother and this Ice Woman into a perilous situation, letting Urushibara Ryuri use her ability to pick them up, then we can retreat."
Looking around, apart from the soldiers knocked down by the crow swarm, he couldn’t find any other figures, so he turned back and looked straight ahead.
You Ruirui slid down from the steep Ice Cliff.
She looked at the three from the brigade and said, "Please give up resisting; this will save time."
Bloodline couldn’t help but laugh, laughing so hard that she trembled; Jack the Ripper showed no expression, just silently raising the Demon Blade.
Xia Pingzhou glanced at the two and said to them, "That one with the black mask is probably Blue Arc; I saw him use lightning just now, guessing he joined Rainbow Wings after feigning death, and this woman is naturally one of Rainbow Wings."
"Blue Arc?" Jack the Ripper murmured.
"Encountering that heroic hero again?" Bloodline raised her elegant eyebrows, "What a coincidence."
A picture flashed through her mind: at the auction, Blue Arc knelt helplessly, shouting hysterically at them.
Xia Pingzhou pondered, "Now we only have you two at the Catastrophe Level, and they also have two at the Catastrophe Level, seems fair. Can you two pull off something like anime and suddenly power up and take them down?"
"Quiet down, feline. Just protect the young lady," Jack the Ripper said, "Stay back, wait for the leader to come back. The old woman and I will hold off these two."
Xia Pingzhou glanced back at Jack the Ripper, thinking it sounded simple, but do you know how terrifying my brother’s current strength is? He blackened and got three times stronger...
"Ha... Then I’ll take care of the one with white hair; I hate little girls with white hair the most," Bloodline said self-mockingly.
Xia Pingzhou heard the jealousy in her tone: "After all, 1001 likes little girls with white hair the most."
"Shut up, we’ll settle accounts after the operation is over."
In the next moment, almost simultaneously, the three moved in concert.
Xia Pingzhou commanded the Queen’s Statue. The Empress, carrying the unconscious Ayase Origami in one hand and Xia Pingzhou in the other, dashed towards the prison barrier.
Bloodline vibrated the dragon wings formed from black blood, heading towards You Ruirui, while Jack the Ripper rushed with a blade towards Gu Qiye.
Their goals were clear: stall the two from Rainbow Wings, allow Xia Pingzhou to evacuate with the unconscious young lady, and then wait for the leader to return, fully retreating from New Leaf Village.
"It seems... you have chosen the worst path," You Ruirui said expressionlessly.
Ice dust surged. Cold breath suddenly arose beneath her feet, and the steep ice surface carried her as she slid backward, distancing herself from Bloodline. Amidst the fluttering white hair, the air above You Ruirui’s head suddenly froze, forming giant ice spikes.
"Boom—!" At the moment of formation, more than a dozen differently sized ice spikes shot forward violently, sweeping up a winter-like chill.
"I say, why do you who play with ice always like these unimaginative things like ice spikes? Is it because you’ve played too many mobile games?" Bloodline smirked, the incoming ice spike swarm reflecting in her pupils. The scorching summer seemed to have turned into a world of ice and snow.
At this moment, blood oozed from between her fingers, instantly gathering into a huge scarlet mandala flower, tearing through the air, twisting and entwining with the ice spike swarm midair.
The edges of the petals were sharp as blades, the rapid rotation causing the ice crystals to shatter, exploding into endless fragments.
The ice dust glittered under the sunlight. You Ruirui raised her eyebrows, extending her right hand, the air before her palm suddenly froze, condensing into an ice-blue long blade, which she grasped in her hand.
"Sword?" Bloodline said, "I happened to practice Sword Dao in Japan decades ago. Showing off sword skills in front of me, you picked the wrong opponent."
During the conversation, black-red blood seeped from between her fingers, coagulating into a sword three meters long.
The giant dragon wings vibrated, propelling her forward to greet the oncoming wind-borne You Ruirui. The crimson long sword danced out an arc formed by blood, deadly and dazzling.
In an instant, the sword bodies composed of blood and ice violently collided, making a clash like tearing gold and iron. The forces were evenly matched, bouncing away tens of meters.
Up and down.
Bloodline swung her wings, like a falcon descending from the sky, repeatedly swooping to slash; You Ruirui resembled an ice dancer, gracefully gliding with frozen air as a stage.
With each dodge, the white-haired girl left a trail of swirling ice dust behind her.
Engaged in fierce close combat ten times, You Ruirui suddenly retreated. Bloodline’s lips curled high as she was about to pursue with wings, but suddenly she froze. A burst of piercing chill exploded from her spine, spreading upward to her brain, every pore on her body suddenly expanded!
