Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

Ziyuan had already let go and was trying to create distance, but Jiang Si was not about to let her have her way.

There is a fundamental difference in magical power. Once the gap widens and a contest of magical power begins, this side will have no chance whatsoever.

He knew her body best.

With one hand gripping the toppling high-voltage power tower, Jiang Si's eyes flashed with ferocity. He grabbed the tower and slammed it down on Zi Yuan in the opposite direction!

Purple magic erupted, and the petite magical girl kicked away the high-voltage power tower that was crashing down on her. The broken supports scattered on the ground, kicking up dust and making a loud noise.

However, just as he was about to retreat, he was gathering magic in his spear.

The boy wearing a fox mask was already right in front of him!

The spear in his right hand was instantly grabbed by the opponent, who then pulled hard!

The originally stable pure magic power, after being interfered with by the corrupt magic power, instantly began to fluctuate!

A violent explosion of magical energy engulfed the two of them. Shion was the first to fly out, her magical armor on her right arm gone, revealing her fair little arm.

It's impossible to imagine how those tiny arms could unleash such terrifying power.

Before he could even gather his magic and unleash his spell, Jiang Si had already burst out of the explosion once more!

Although a corner of the fox mask was blown off, it still managed to conceal the boy's appearance.

Wearing brass knuckles, her right hand unleashed a series of jabs at an imperceptible speed toward her face. Shion dodged with ease while attempting to gather magical energy to counterattack.

However, Jiang Si reacted too quickly. While her right hand made a jab without any pause, her left hand was always able to catch her movements as she tried to gather magic power, and timely inserted corrupt magic power, causing her plan to fail.

This tactic is useless against Jiang Si himself.

Because Jiang Si can perfectly control the corrupt magic after transforming.

However, it is quite effective against the fake Shion Puppet.

Bing Tang hadn't expected Jiang Si to go this far.

In her view, she had already won by taking out the Violet Puppet, and she had an absolute advantage, even if Jiang Si had the ability to control corrupt magic.

In terms of magical power and other aspects, the gap between it and the Shion Magical Puppet is enormous.

Unexpectedly, it was suppressed...

As expected of Jiang Si, she always manages to do things unexpectedly, no matter what.

Bing Tang had gotten used to it; Jiang Si always managed to do things that others couldn't understand.

"However, it's a real pity that the gap is still too big."

Jiang Si's pupils contracted slightly, and her right hand, which had been attacking like a tidal wave, faltered for a moment before she looked up.

Purple fingers had silently materialized above his head.

It was pressed down with a bang!

With the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger in the air, the right knuckle duster fired a bullet, and before the bullet arrived, the right fist had already reached Ziyuan's face before the bullet could hit!

The moment Shion reached out and caught the fist, the bullet grazed her cheek!

The next second, the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger was pressed down from the sky!

The magical shockwave spread in all directions, and Xilan, who was hiding in the abandoned courtyard, was instantly sent flying. If she hadn't managed to grab onto a roof beam along the way, she didn't know where she would have ended up...

The crystal ball in Si Motu's arms fell and shattered instantly upon being hit by the blast wave.

Looking up in a daze, the purple magical tide that rippled outwards like waves was finally fading away.

Among them, Si Motu was embedded in the wall further away, and it took him a long time to pry himself out of the wall.

Her trench coat had several tears, making it drafty and no longer fluttering as stylishly as before.

However, on the other side, Shion looked even more miserable.

On her fair, delicate arm, a purple liquid flowed, resembling blood, but thicker and more like magic.

While the other parts of her magical armor were intact, there was a small scar below her left eye on her flawless face.

The scar was very, very small, yet incredibly glaring.

It's like adding a tiny scratch to a priceless work of art, ruining its exquisite beauty.

Any additional scar on that face would be a tremendous blasphemy.

Silently, Shion gently wiped the wound on her face with her index finger:

What did you do?

Jiang Si gave a cold laugh, "You haven't forgotten that I was the one who taught them the 'Ignorance and Confusion' technique, have you?"

When faced with someone whose status far surpasses their own, there is very little that Wuminghuo can do. Basically, if it is Bingtang herself or Ziyuan herself, there is no way to have any influence.

However, rock candy manipulating the puppet is a different matter altogether.

The transmission of magic is not always real-time or perfect, and the perception and cognition through the puppet will have a certain delay.

The space for the ignorance and delusion to operate is vast; this invisible veil is perfect for falling between the puppet and its manipulator.

As long as, at the very end, there is a slight deviation in Bing Tang's perception of magic, including a misalignment of time and space.

Even the slightest difference can decide the final outcome...

That was what I originally intended.

But Jiang Si admitted that she still underestimated her puppet.

Even the direct impact of the Great Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Finger, which contained filthy magic, caused negligible damage to Ziyuan.

All I can say is that the scene was quite spectacular.

But in reality, it didn't cause any substantial harm at all...

In terms of boss design, this machine can be said to be based on [the previous design].

It feels like it could be placed in the God Gate of Enel Ilium, a famous and beloved tourist spot in the Shadowlands, which comes from the Infinite Scriptures.

"Forget it, I've never beaten you before anyway."

Bing Tang murmured something, manipulating the puppet, and revealed a gentle smile.

"But even if it's a puppet, it's still unbearable to have its face injured."

For a moment, Xilan felt a little suffocated.

It was as if something in the air had solidified.

The next second, Si Motu, who was not far away, suddenly rushed over!

He grabbed her by the back of her collar and ran frantically into the distance!

Because she was facing Shion, she could clearly see a small lotus flower rising from the purple-gold magical girl's hand.

The ice-colored and purple lotus flowers, blooming like flames, slowly rose into the air.

It's getting bigger and bigger!

Ziyuan was slightly out of breath, her smile faded, and her face showed signs of fatigue.

"It's a pity, I've only practiced up to this level for now."

"Please inspect and accept it."

Buddha's Wrath, Fire Lotus!

The light, flawless fire lotus sways rhythmically, resonating with my heartbeat.

The edges of the quietly swirling petals subtly distorted the space, swallowing up the surrounding light and sound, and then—

The moment it landed behind us, the dazzling aurora borealis engulfed the entire world!

Xilan lost consciousness again.

……

They stared in disbelief as the eastern district outside Beihai City was transformed into wasteland by the fire lotus.

It even affected many high-voltage power towers, causing power outages in a section of the eastern part of the city.

The Disaster Management Bureau acted swiftly—though it's hard to say whether "swift" is accurate given that the battle was already over, they did act anyway.

Qinghua also saw Coco's sister.

Hearing the sirens and the sounds of the Civil Engineering Brigade vehicles outside, Qinghua took a breath. "Lord Bingtang, is this really alright?"

Bing Tang simply smiled slightly, "I believe in him; he can overcome these challenges."

Looking at the half of the sky that had been burned to a deep purple, Qinghua hesitated for a moment but said nothing.

To be honest, just now the sect leader actually fought the Violet Puppet's substitute hand-to-hand with her at close range and even gained the upper hand.

It's truly quite a shock to see blue and white porcelain.

She made the puppet herself, so she naturally knew its power. This version is quite close to the original.

With the addition of Ice Candy, who is extremely familiar with Shion, personally controlling it, it can be said that it has about 70% to 80% of the original's combat power.

As a result, the sect leader was actually able to suppress him in close-quarters hand-to-hand combat without transforming...

Later on, will the Sect Master be able to defeat them all without transforming?

While retrieving the Violet Puppet, Bing Tang asked, "Shuang Ye, did you see it clearly? How did the Sect Master use the Bewitching Aura?"

Liu Ye peeked out from the mourning hall of the Qingyun Sect next door:

"I see, Lord Bing Tang, the Sect Master is truly too cunning!"

"So all our interference has been useless..."

Yotsuba looked a little down. "I tried so hard, but I still didn't do as well as the sect leader."

"Well, then, Yotsuba, I'd like to ask, since that magic spear didn't completely destroy the witch at the beginning, was it because the Sect Master used the Mystery of Illusion?"

Liu Ye immediately raised his hand, "Yes, Lord Bing Tang, the Sect Master used the 'Blinding Illusion' technique to cause you to deviate..."

"No wonder I said the feel was off." Resting her chin on her hand, Bing Tang mused, "During the battle, every time I gathered my magic, it was shattered..."

"It was the Sect Master who used the Ignorance of Ignorance to create your illusion. In reality, some of his interferences successfully disrupted your magic power gathering, but others he failed to do so. Even the Sect Master couldn't interfere with each of your magic power gatherings so quickly, but he made you think that he was being interfered with, causing you to cancel it."

Because the battle was going so fast, Futaba didn't even have time to warn Iroha.
