What kind of magic? This is called cultivating immortality!

The injuries she suffered in this battle went far beyond physical pain. She not only activated an overloaded liberation mode, but also reduced the cleansed portion of her Soul Gem, which was originally only half-contaminated, to one-third.

Seeing her subordinates suffer such severe injuries, which even a four-star magical girl could not heal, Xiao Henu's face darkened. She slightly spread her five fingers, and a three-foot-long sword, as thin as a cicada's wing and gleaming with cold light, flew into her palm.

"Gratoni, today, this sword immortal will make you die here!"

In mid-air, Gratoni, who had just self-destructed into a bloody mist, reshaped himself using immortal matter.

At this moment, her figure was noticeably smaller, and her complexion had lost some of its rosy hue, clearly indicating that the attack had caused her considerable injury.

"Xiao Henu, you are the one who truly deserves to die!" Gratoni recognized the person who forced her to self-destruct and escape at a glance, her eyes surging with hatred that almost materialized.

Lust had told her about many magical girls, among whom Xiao Henu was the one who was highlighted. She was said to be the head of the Jiangbei region, and her strength was not just that of a six-star magical girl. Her combat power was only greater than it appeared on the surface.

Normally, given Gratoni's leisurely nature, he would never intentionally seek out trouble.

Keeping pets and silently destroying the city is what she loves to do most.

But now that the other party has caused her to self-destruct, damaging her internal organs and losing a lot of immortal matter, this is an irreconcilable enmity. Even with her personality, she will never be willing to let it go.

Besides, so what if she's a six-star magical girl? Her own strength is comparable to that of a six-star magical girl, so who can be worse than whom?

Xiao Henu's expression was indifferent, his face full of disdain, his robes fluttering as he said:

"You're nothing but the worst of the Seven Deadly Sins, yet you dare to act so arrogantly in the area under my jurisdiction and even harm the people I protect. Today, I will surely kill you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, dozens of cyan spirit swords silently appeared around her. With a swing of her main sword, the dozens of spirit swords shot out through the air with a whooshing sound, heading straight for Gratoni.

Gratoni stood still, neither dodging nor avoiding, his mouth transforming into a gluttonous maw, and with a sudden inhale, he swallowed all the attacking spirit swords into his belly.

A moment later, Gratoni opened its massive maw again, and all the spirit swords that had been swallowed flew out, stained with a layer of filthy black light, and returned to attack along their original trajectory.

"How dare you wield my sword, Xiao Henu's sword?" the white-robed sword immortal murmured softly, his tone icy.

The spirit sword, which had been controlled by the black light, trembled violently, instantly dispelling the dark and foul light from its entire body, revealing its clear and brilliant sword light once again. It then turned its blade around and attacked Gratoni.

Grattoni's pupils constricted sharply, and he exclaimed inwardly: How is this possible?!

Her pupils contracted sharply. Before she could think, her hands suddenly transformed into sharp beast claws, their fingertips wreathed in a highly corrosive black light.

"Clang! Clang!"

The ear-piercing sound of metal clashing against metal was continuous. The spirit sword formed from condensed magic seemed to have a self-awareness, advancing and retreating with measured steps, each move sharp and fierce, yet it was precisely blocked by Gratoni's claws every time.

Once again, he sent all the spirit swords flying, and Gratoni suddenly plunged his hand into his chest, shouting, "Crescent Blood Blade!"

Dozens of scarlet, sharp blades shot out from her fingertips, instantly repelling the attacking spirit swords.

Her eyes swept across the area, and she charged toward the nearest spirit sword. With a sudden burst of strength from her claws, the sword shattered with a crisp "crack".

Before she could feel smug, the remaining spirit swords that had just been repelled dealt with Blood Fang and Blood Blade, and then surrounded her again from all directions, trapping her inside.

Gratoni remained completely calm. Before the sword formation could fall, one of his hands suddenly swelled several times its original size, and a spinning, pitch-black hole appeared in his palm.

On the other side, Muyue, who was focused on treating Yaori, suddenly felt an extremely strong suction force coming from high above. Her body became unstable for a moment, and she staggered back several steps, almost flying directly into the sky.

The others also noticed the terrifying suction force. Yingguang immediately pulled everyone back and unhesitatingly used "Harmony with Light and Dust" to lead them out of the area covered by the suction force.

The Path of Devouring?

Zhong Hui, emerging from the moonlight, gazed solemnly at the Gluttonous Witch in the distance.

The devouring power released by the witch, who exuded an eerie aura, grew stronger and stronger. The rubble and debris on the ground, the ashes of trees, the scattered steel and concrete, and even the light all shot into the sky like arrows.

All matter was ultimately drawn into the black hole in Gratoni's palm.

As a gluttonous witch, she naturally has many methods, and this is one of her most powerful killing moves: the "Return to Nothingness" black hole is a self-contained space of exile that can suck in everything within its range.

In a short while, the dozens of spirit swords that had surrounded them gradually went out of control. No matter how much Xiao Henu tried to control them, he was still unable to stop the spirit swords from being sucked into the black hole one after another.

Thus, Xiao Henu's first wave of attacks was cleverly neutralized by the Gluttonous Witch.

Gratoni, who thought she had the upper hand, couldn't help but sneer, "You're nothing special. Today, I'm going to eat you up and show my sisters who have been ignoring me these past few days how powerful I am."

The suction force emanating from her palm grew stronger and stronger, affecting even the fluorescent group who had already escaped to a distance, forcing them to use the "Mutual Light and Dust" technique to relocate once again.

At the center of the battlefield, Xiao Henu's figure swayed slightly. Everything around her was swept up and swallowed by the black hole, and the world was dark and without light, but she remained calm and composed.

She lowered her head, gazing at the longsword in her hand, and murmured to herself:

"I, Xiao Henu, possess only one sword, capable of moving mountains and overturning seas..."

A terrifying suction force forcibly snatched the sword from her hand, yet she continued to murmur softly.

Seeing that even the spirit sword had been stripped away, Xiao Henu remained unmoved. Mu Yue couldn't help but worry, "Lord Xiao Henu, are you going to lose?"

“That’s impossible… This form is Lord Xiao Henu’s third strongest form…” Altai said.

Xiao Henu's ability is to act out different forms, changing each day and randomly displaying one of them.

There are seven forms, each with different combat strength and abilities.

As long as one acts and speaks in accordance with the form, one can unleash the corresponding ultimate power. Just like today, when she is in the form of a sword immortal, every word and action of hers is like that of an unparalleled sword immortal.

Just as everyone was filled with worry, Zhong Hui's gaze shifted uncertainly until the longsword plunged into the black hole, at which point he slowly spoke: "This person's strength has already surpassed the Void Refinement Realm, such powerful sword intent..."

What are you saying?

Zhong Hui did not answer Cang Xing's question, his gaze still fixed on Gratoni.

In the center of the battlefield, Gratoni laughed wildly, "Your weapons have all been devoured by me. Now you have nothing left. What can you use to fight me?"

You're wrong.

"Still being stubborn, I'll swallow you whole."

"あなたはすでに死んでいるのです." (From Fist of the North Star, you are already dead.) Xiao Henu slowly shook his head.

“What?” Gratoni was taken aback.

The next second, her body rapidly expanded, and countless sword lights burst forth from within her, piercing through her flesh and sweeping across her entire body.

"how so?!"

"If Heaven had not given birth to me, Xiao Henu, the way of the sword would have remained in eternal darkness." Xiao Henu stood with his hands behind his back, reciting a long, clear voice, "How could you possibly swallow my sword?"

"Bang bang bang!"

The sword intent raged wildly, and the first thing to collapse was Gratoni's arm, which exploded and shattered.

Gratoni's swollen body then began to crack and explode one after another.

This gluttonous witch exploded again, far more tragically than the last time.

Xiao Henu raised his hand to catch the returning longsword, and looked into the depths of the blood mist, where Gratoni had been resurrected once again thanks to his immortal substance.

This time, however, she shrunk to the size of a child.

An overwhelming sense of fear filled her heart.

The opponent was too strong. Not only could he kill her, but he could also destroy the immortal substance in her body, causing the power required for each resurrection to increase exponentially, and making it impossible for her to return to her prime.

If this continued, she was convinced that she would die within two or three weeks and would never be able to come back to life.

Having thought of this, she lost all desire to continue fighting and turned to flee the place.

Seeing this, Xiao Henu sneered, "I told you you would die today!"

The longsword flew out of her hand, transforming into a sky full of sword shadows, heading straight for the Gluttony Witch who was fleeing in a disheveled state.

"Damn it, Crescent Blood Blade!"

Gratoni could only pierce himself once more, using the blood-soaked blade to defend himself.

But the moment they clashed, the blood-stained blade was shattered, and the sword shadows followed her relentlessly, attacking her with unstoppable force.

"boom!"

Reborn from the third explosion, Gratoni was only the size of an infant.

The longsword was closing in again; death was imminent. In this final moment of life and death, she cried out to the heavens, "Sister, save me!"

At this moment, all sounds of nature were utterly silent.

The longsword stopped, Gratoni was like a clay sculpture, and the entire Floating Light Squad watching from afar was also unable to move.

Throughout the entire battlefield, only Xiao Henu looked up at the sky.

A blurry, scarlet figure slowly stepped forward.

"Honestly, she never listens to her sister and just doesn't want to stay at home."

The figure was entirely crimson, its features and shape obscured. It cradled the infant Gratoni in its arms and whispered, "After this lesson, let's see if you dare to run around like this again."

Time stopped… Xiao Henu’s expression was solemn as he spoke, each word deliberate and deliberate:

"Prideful Witch, Polid".

Chapter 29 The Curtain Falls

The Seven Sins of the Witches are: Gluttony, Envy, Greed, Wrath, Lust, Sloth, and Pride.

Xiao Henu was strong enough to disregard the other six witches of the Seven Deadly Sins, but there was one person she had to be extremely careful with: the leader of the Seven Deadly Sins, the Witch of Pride, Polid.

Just how strong is she?

Xiao Henu didn't have a definite answer either, since the two had never faced each other directly.

But this witch has a real record of destroying a country.

That destroyed nation was protected by three six-star magical girls known as the "Three Sages," as well as hundreds of magical girls of varying strengths. Its technology was also highly advanced, making it one of the top powers among the small nations.

Even so, the moment the Arrogant Witch descended upon that country, in less than five minutes, the entire nation was utterly destroyed, with no survivors. The speed of the destruction was so fast that no country had time to come to its aid.

It was through this battle that arrogance established her fearsome reputation, making her a formidable figure on the witch list.

This is a ranking list compiled by netizens based on known information about witches.

Now, this terrifying witch has actually descended upon China.

Xiao Henu faced the slight pressure emanating from it directly; to say that he felt no pressure would be pure self-deception.

However, she is currently playing the role of a sword immortal, and she must not lose her composure, otherwise, it would be like a thousand-mile dike collapsing due to an ant hole.

Xiao Henu raised his hand and summoned the longsword that had been imprisoned in time and space back into his hand.

She gripped the three-foot-long sword tightly, unleashing an incomparably powerful and sharp sword intent that shot straight into the sky, forcefully shattering the time that had been imprisoned around her.
