The correct way to open the magical girl

After several failed attempts to attack Li Xuan, Liaoying tried to use her super fast speed to fly in a fixed direction, trying to fly to the edge of this space.

However, the place where Li Xuan exiled her was a remote corner of the illusory evil land, far away from the small world of the Witch Academy. Without teleportation ability, Li Xuan's own speed would probably take months to reach it.

Even if Liaoying's speed was several times faster than his, it would be impossible for her to easily fly across such a vast void. Moreover, without any reference points, how easy would it be to grasp the correct direction? Liaoying's hope of finding Li Xuan at the Witch Academy in this way was nothing short of a fool's dream.

As for finding the boundary of the illusory evil land - even Li Xuan himself couldn't do it.

While Liaoying was flying, Li Xuan still relied on the portal to launch sneak attacks from time to time, or released weak monsters to harass her.

Although this sneak attack could not hit the extremely vigilant Liaoying, it still consumed her magic power bit by bit.

Li Xuan didn't plan to personally engage Liaoying until her magic power was completely depleted. After all, her opponent's combat prowess was too strong, and she still hadn't yet revealed her awakening. There was really no need for him to provoke her at this juncture.

While Li Xuan was slowly teasing Liaoying, the outside world was already in turmoil. The battle between the three S-ranks was so massive that it was impossible to conceal it. News of Liaoying's disappearance quickly spread to the hunters, and the church's efforts at negotiation were completely defeated.

The Hunters' leader, Sazuki, refused to accept any explanation from the Church and demanded the handover of the "culprit," Nanamiya Maya. This demand was naturally rejected by the Cardinals. In response to the Hunters' questioning, Maya's explanation, while factual, was unconvincing. Even within the Church, many suspected that the Cardinals had secretly ordered Maya to kill Ryoying.

So on the second day after Liaoying disappeared, the hunters officially declared war on the church.

"Master! The hunters have declared war on the church! There are battles all over the world, and it's chaos outside!!" Upon hearing the news, Filia excitedly reported to Li Xuan.

"How's the battle going?" Li Xuan asked, opening the portal and casually throwing an A-rank monster down. This monster possessed the ability to split and regenerate, making it Liao Ying's nemesis. Although only A-rank, it still gave Liao Ying Ying some effort.

"Hunters currently have the advantage, but neither side was prepared, and the fight was chaotic in a hurry. The stronger magical girls on both sides haven't made much of a move yet." Filia replied.

"Oh? Isn't the church much more powerful than the hunters? Why do the hunters have the upper hand?" Li Xuan asked in confusion.

"The church is too powerful, and many places follow orders rather than announcements in their cooperation model, while the main forces of the hunters are in Xingchen and Mianxue. Therefore, in the short term comparison of military strength, the hunters have the upper hand. The hunters' action this time is also to first eliminate the church forces in these two places. The fighting was very fierce. In our city, there were five battles in just one afternoon." said Filia.

"Then you should pay more attention to safety. Although the church will definitely take into account the casualties of ordinary people, it is hard to say about hunters." Li Xuan reminded.

"Thank you for your concern, Master. Miss Lilika has contacted all the maids outside and asked everyone to be careful. Most of the maids from Xingchen and Mianxue have already evacuated."

"That's good. Safety is the most important thing. I'm still staying up all night. Please follow the instructions of the head maid."

"Master, there is one more thing. I would like to ask on behalf of the head maid: What should we do next?" asked Filia.

"We should keep our troops still and let them fight for a while. The more intense the fight, the better it will be for us." Li Xuan said with a smile.

"Okay, I will tell the head maid. Also, master, everyone is curious - how did you get rid of Liaoying? She was the third seat of hunters, and you killed her silently?" Filia asked curiously.

"It's a secret." Li Xuan said with a smile.

While the fighting was going on outside, Li Xuan was still working tirelessly on his "eagle training" project.

Although harassing Liaoying would consume Li Xuan's time and energy, Liaoying had to be extremely nervous and on guard against Li Xuan's sneak attacks at any time, while Li Xuan could live happily under the service of the maid. Whenever he remembered, he would open a portal to Liaoying, which did not take much time at all.

When he had some free time, Li Xuan interrogated the magical girls that the monster girls had captured in the Kingdom of Stars. There were about three hundred of these magical girls. Because the girls in the Kingdom of Stars usually mature early, each one looked fuller than the other, and their personalities were much more fiery. Whenever they saw Li Xuan, they would say "f*ck" all the time.

"Okay, okay, I'm very happy to see everyone so enthusiastic." Li Xuan was already used to being scolded by magical girls. He smiled and ordered his maids to take them away, let Cesia undergo some transformation first, and then convened the second sports meeting.

With the experience gained from the first Games and Cesia's external transformation, the Games went exceptionally smoothly. These stubborn magical girls were soon tormented and complained bitterly. After a week, more than half of them had fallen, and almost all of the CGs were unlocked.

Chapter 537 The Five Soldiers of the God of War

Li Xuan checked his panel: [Experience Points Required for Upgrade: 9009/10000]

By this calculation, more than 300 magical girls provided 4535 experience points. It is obvious that most of the ones caught in this wave are small fish and shrimp.

The Hunters and the Church are currently at war, and capturing magical girls now would undoubtedly only encourage them to unite and reconcile. The only creature within the False Badlands who can provide over a thousand experience points is Shizuyo Ryosakura.

Li Xuan observed through the hunting radar: after more than a week of consumption, Liaoying's magic power had reached its limit. However, as a combat-type magical girl, even without magic power, her strength was still terrifying. Moreover, she still had one awakening skill that had not been used. Under such circumstances, Li Xuan did not intend to risk a decisive battle with her.

Fortunately, at this time, good news reached Li Xuan's ears.

"Master! Your weapon is ready!" Tang Xi couldn't hide his excitement and reported to Li Xuanbao in the consciousness channel.

"Oh? Wasn't Wang Li on vacation? He was able to build it?" Li Xuan said in surprise.

"Miss Wang Li only rested for two days. When she heard that I had finished drawing the design drawings, she rushed back overnight to make the weapons. I followed your advice and modified the drawings and deleted some functions, so it saved a lot of manufacturing time." Tang Xi explained.

"If you feel sleepy, here's a pillow. Bring it to me quickly!" Li Xuan immediately opened the space channel and brought Tang Xi and Wang Li to him.

"My benefactor, this is the finished weapon." Wang Li held a halberd that was more than two meters long and handed it to Li Xuan respectfully.

"It was originally a long-range weapon, but it finally became a melee weapon. But it looks quite sturdy and should be able to withstand my strength." Li Xuan took the halberd and felt that it was heavy and substantial. If it was not driven by evil energy, even he would not be able to swing it easily.

"Master, you misunderstood. This is still a long-range weapon, but it has enhanced melee capabilities." Tang Xi said with a smile.

"Oh? How can this thing be used remotely? Can it be thrown out to hit people?" Li Xuan said with a smile.

"I named this weapon 'Five Weapons of the God of War'. It has three forms: halberd, spear, and cannon. The halberd is a comprehensive melee type, the spear is a penetrating type against defensive magic, and the cannon is a long-range shooting form. As long as you inject evil energy, you can transform it freely." Tang Xi explained.

"It can actually transform? That's interesting." Li Xuan injected evil energy into the weapon as he was told, and indeed he felt that the weapon was connected to his consciousness. As long as he used the evil energy to activate the front part, the entire halberd head would separate, revealing a black muzzle; if he used the evil energy to activate the back part, the blade of the halberd head would be retracted and turned into a handle, while a spearhead would extend from the halberd handle, turning it into a spear.

Because it is a spear extending from the halberd handle, Li Xuan thought it could also be named "halberd handle spear".

"For the sake of lightweight, the shells need to be created by you through fel energy, and then launched through weapons. According to our calculations, it is several times faster than directly propelling with fel energy. And most importantly, I have preset a template for fel energy shells in this cannon. You only need to inject fel energy and it will be automatically generated, saving a lot of time and energy." Tang Xi took out the design drawings and explained them like a treasure.

Li Xuan took a look at the design drawing: not only are there more than a dozen preset types of shells such as armor-piercing shells, armor-fragmenting shells, grenades, shotgun shells, high-explosive shells, and tracking shells, but it also supports custom accessories such as wind caps, caps, and tail fins. It can be said to be very comprehensive.

Obviously, the cannon form is the main function of this weapon. No wonder Tang Xi said that this is just a long-range weapon with added melee function.

Li Xuan brought the two to the arena, injected fel energy into them, and fired two shots. As a result, the huge arena was shattered by the two howitzer rounds. Furthermore, Li Xuan discovered after using it that this thing actually had automatic target lock and assisted aiming functions.

"This is so advanced! The degree of automation is very high!" Li Xuan exclaimed.

"Thanks to Professor Leila. Although she said she wouldn't help, she couldn't help but finish the half-finished project when I threw it there. So this gun is also equipped with her puppet system and has a certain degree of intelligence." Tang Xi said with a wicked smile.

"Amazing! You're worthy of being the creator of Lilika - but I still have a question: this thing is called the Five Weapons of the God of War, but why does it only have three forms?" Li Xuan asked curiously.

"Well... Actually, Miss Tang Xi originally designed five forms, namely: halberd, spear, hammer, cannon, and lightsaber. But because it was too difficult to implement, after many discussions, it was finally changed to three forms. But we haven't thought of a name yet, so we still call it the Five Weapons of the God of War." Wang Li explained.

"Actually, it wasn't really a discussion. We argued about this many times, and finally I compromised. After all, it would probably take at least a year or two to realize my idea," Tang Xi said helplessly.

"That's all in the past - Master, let's test the actual combat power of this thing? I'll call Sister Perosha over." Wang Li said excitedly.

"No, I have other candidates for the actual combat test. You two have worked hard. Go to Miss Lilika to get some money and go on a real vacation! I will reward you later." Li Xuan said, stroking their heads.

"Master, this is the most powerful weapon I have ever used in my life. If you want to test it, please let us watch! This way we can also observe whether the performance meets expectations." Wang Li requested.

"Okay, but you can only watch and absolutely not participate." Li Xuan said, and came to the movie theater of the Witch Academy and projected the hunting radar onto the big screen.

"This is Shishiye Liaoying, the third hunter. If we use her for the test, she is definitely qualified." Li Xuan said with a smile.

"Enough, absolutely enough! The third seat! I really don't know how you trapped her!" Tang Xi said in surprise.

"I'll explain this later. It's time to see my cute little loli." Li Xuan stretched and carefully observed Liaoying's situation.

Liaoying looked extremely exhausted. For the past week, she had been searching in vain for a way to leave, while Li Xuan had been tirelessly harassing her. Even when she was sleeping, she would summon monsters in advance and have the witches on duty send them there at irregular intervals.

The monsters summoned by Li Xuan all have the deathrattle of breaking magic. Even if they die, they will consume a little magic power of Liaoying. As time goes by, Liaoying's magic power has been completely consumed.

Seeing that Liaoying had been exhausted to this extent, Li Xuan opened the portal and came behind her.

Li Xuan had tried hard to restrain his aura, but even so, Liaoying still slashed at him the moment he appeared.

Chapter 538 All is lost

"You haven't slept for a week, but you're still very energetic." Li Xuan used the halberd blade to block the claw knife. The powerful sword energy was split into two by the halberd blade and failed to hurt Li Xuan at all.

"You can actually block my knife?" Liaoying was surprised, but she reacted quickly, making a sharp turn and going behind Li Xuan at an incredible angle.

After a week of observation, Li Xuan had a clear idea of ​​Liaoying's movements. Before she launched an attack, he teleported away, leaving her empty-handed.

"Damn it...if Huanying could still be used..." Liaoying said to Li Xuan hatefully.

"Give up, you are very tired, right? It's okay to take a short rest." Li Xuan said with a smile.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Liaoying made another lightning-fast slash, but it was still blocked by Li Xuan's halberd blade.

"What is this thing? It can actually block my attack twice?" Liaoying said in surprise.

"New weapons, aren't they amazing?" Li Xuan waved his halberd to force Liaoying back, then immediately switched to cannon form and fired a shotgun shell.

The shells developed by Tang Xi are actually not complicated. They just use the fierce evil energy as the power to launch the more solid inert evil energy. Li Xuan can also do it by rubbing it by hand, but it is far less convenient and fast than automation.

This crucial time difference is a natural difference in actual combat.

Liaoying was directly knocked back by the powerful shotgun. If she was not a strong combat-type, the outcome would have been decided by this moment.

Liaoying felt a sharp pain in her body. Although there was no bleeding, the power of this attack was beyond her imagination. So she did not dare to attack head-on, but used agile body movements to attack from a roundabout way.

As the third-ranked hunter, Liaoying does not have any abnormal magic. Her extreme speed and combat skills are the foundation of her survival.

However, after several rounds, Liaoying was surprised to find that she was unable to break through Li Xuan's defense.

Once she got close, Li Xuan would sweep with his halberd, using a wide range of attacks to make it difficult for her to get close. However, if she got to a medium or long distance, Li Xuan would fire shotgun shells or grenades. Although the halberd seemed bulky, in this open battlefield, it could fully utilize its length advantage.

"Damn it, if you have the ability, why don't you use that cheating weapon!" Liaoying couldn't help but say.

"Aren't you using a weapon too? Even without magic power, that claw knife can still emit blade energy. Isn't that pretty shameless?" Li Xuan said with a smile.

"It's because you consumed my magic power! If I could use magic, I could kill you in a second! You despicable guy!" Liaoying said angrily.

"If you had Yao's eloquence, maybe you could make me Hong Wen a little bit. But unfortunately, not everyone can be a female ghost." Li Xuan said halfway when he suddenly felt something was wrong. The hunting radar screen indicated that Liaoying was no longer there.

"Not good!" Li Xuan quickly teleported away. The place where he was just now had been chopped by Liaoying's sword, and even the gravel that was passing by was cut in half.

"That was a close call. I was wondering why you suddenly became so talkative. It turns out that the magic power needed for 'Phantom Sakura' has been restored enough." Li Xuan said with a smile.

"What a tough guy to deal with." Liaoying said, staring at the weapon in Li Xuan's hand.

"The tough ones are still to come!" Li Xuan said, and opened his arms to rain down forgiveness, summoning thousands of monsters with the ability to split and regenerate in a short period of time.

Liaoying was shocked to see so many monsters appear in an instant, but she reacted quickly and chopped off dozens of monsters' heads with a single swing of her claw blade.

However, these monsters did not die after their heads were chopped off. Instead, the severed parts split into new monsters, which continuously besieged Liaoying.

"Come on! Slayer, let me see your true strength..." Li Xuan used the portal to increase the distance, and continuously fired rockets in cannon form, sniping Liaoying.

Liao Ying frowned. These hard-to-kill monsters were her nemesis. If there were only a few dozen of them, she could destroy them by destroying their regeneration cores. But there were thousands before her. If she tried to find their cores one by one, she would undoubtedly die of exhaustion. Even if she wanted to attack Li Xuan, she would be entangled by these monsters.

"Awakening. All is over." Realizing this, Liaoying used Awakening without hesitation. The claw knife in her hand extended a dark illusory blade, and the original blade became the handle.

The black blade did not emit any aura, as if it were a pool of stagnant water. However, it was this stagnant blade that gave Li Xuan a very dangerous feeling.

"Everything in the world is illusory." Liaoying closed her eyes and swung the knife, only to see cherry blossoms scattering and dancing wildly.

Li Xuan only felt dizzy for a moment, and thousands of monsters with enhanced regeneration properties turned into cherry blossoms and disappeared in an instant.

"??? No, sister, are you using a one-hit kill cheat? I know all of you S-class magical girls are monsters, but this is too outrageous," Li Xuan said in surprise.

Liaoying did not answer, but opened her eyes, holding a long sword and slowly walked towards Li Xuan.

"Is it an instant death attack? No, this kind of large-scale instant death is too abnormal. There must be some limitations, otherwise wouldn't it be better to use it directly on me from the beginning?" Li Xuan stared at the long knife in Liaoying's hand, and immediately teleported away the moment she attacked.

Seeing Li Xuan disappear, Liaoying did not chase him, but knelt on the spot, placed the knife across her knees, and closed her eyes as if she was asleep.

Seeing that she didn't move, Li Xuan teleported to a slightly closer distance and fired a few rounds with a long-range rocket launcher. However, before the shells reached him, Liaoying suddenly opened her eyes, raised her blade, and the shells turned into petals and floated away. The fierce evil energy inside did not explode.

"The cannonball is not a living thing, but it still turned into petals. This means that your ability is not instant death, but... the ability to convert matter into energy!" Li Xuan remembered the black cat's pupil change and quickly guessed the essence of Liaoying's awakening ability.

Liaoying opened her eyes and glanced at Li Xuan, without revealing any murderous intent, but her body had already flashed to his side at astonishing speed and slashed at him with a knife.

Li Xuan hurriedly blocked it with the handle of his halberd, only to see the cherry blossoms scattered everywhere, but the weapon itself did not disappear.

"So that's how it is. As long as there is evil energy in the weapon, it will be consumed first." Li Xuan felt the evil energy he poured into the weapon dissipate rapidly, and hurriedly retreated.

Liaoying did not pursue, but took a deep breath, as if trying to adjust her mood.

"I see... The condition for using that knife is that you must control your inner emotions, right? Or in other words, you must remain calm to prolong the duration?" Li Xuan guessed.

Chapter 539 Christmas Wishes

"That's not the case." Liaoying opened her eyes wide and looked at Li Xuan, with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.

"Oh? Am I wrong?" Li Xuan took advantage of the conversation to continue loading his weapons with shells.

"My awakening will transform matter into disintegrated energy. You are right about that. But this transformation is two-way. If I cannot maintain a state of nothingness, I myself will turn into energy and dissipate. For a magical girl, it is 'photolysis'." Liaoying took a few deep breaths and suppressed the murderous intent in her eyes.

"So it's a weapon of mutual destruction... No wonder you're so obsessed with controlling your emotions." Li Xuan suddenly realized - the scene where things touched by the knife turned into cherry blossoms and disappeared was exactly the same as the magical girl's photolysis.

"But if it's to kill you, it doesn't matter even if we die together." After Liaoying said this, a murderous intent suddenly emerged in her eyes, and she rushed towards Li Xuan at an unimaginable speed.

"No, I can't bear to let you die." Li Xuan activated the liberation without hesitation. The powerful vitality was poured into the weapon along with the evil energy, and a shotgun shell was fired at Liaoying.

Liaoying had already made up her mind to die at this time. She endured the attack of the shotgun and stabbed the black blade into Li Xuan's body.

"It's over... Mom and Dad, I'm so sorry I couldn't avenge you..." Liaoying sighed, her body becoming ethereal. The effects of the annihilation caused her body to gradually transform into an energy form, and it seemed as if it was about to dissipate into petals.

At this moment, a pair of big hands held her palms.

"It's not time yet." Li Xuan whispered in Liaoying's ear.

"Why aren't you dead?" Liaoying was shocked. The blade had indeed pierced through Li Xuan's body, but he seemed to be unharmed.

"You just said that in order to avoid being hurt by this knife, you need to maintain a state of nothingness, right? Coincidentally, my liberation is to enter the state of selflessness." Li Xuan said, putting his hand on Liaoying's head and using mental interference on her, forcing her to clear her mind, and her body slowly recovered from a translucent state to a solid state.
