The correct way to open the magical girl

Li Xuan knew that she was using a pre-set space channel to change the route of the bullets, so that one person could form crossfire. Moreover, her understanding and use of space seemed to be even better than Maya's. When teleporting, she did not have the long casting process of Maya.

No wonder her position among hunters is above Liaoying.

Even so, it wasn't enough to hit Liaoying. Seeing she had nowhere to hide, she activated Phantom Sakura, leaving behind a fake body, while she quietly escaped, trying to find Naijie's location based on the trajectory of the bullet.

However, in this kind of sniping, Nai Jie can easily know Liaoying's arrival by relying on the disturbance of space, and then teleport away in advance and continue to snipe Liaoying out of sight.

The two sides chased each other for more than ten minutes without any contact.

Of course, Li Xuan was also very clear: given the characteristics of high attack and low defense of both sides, the outcome would probably be decided immediately once they came into contact.

The hunting radar mark has been set, and he is not going to let Liaoying continue to take risks.

I don’t know if it’s because all her attention was on Liaoying, Nai Jie didn’t notice the existence of Li Xuan and Qimo at all - or maybe she had noticed it, but just deliberately ignored it.

Li Xuan directly told Liaoying the location of Naijie through the consciousness channel, then traced her teleportation trajectory, opened the portal and sent Liaoying over.

Liaoying's fighting instinct is extremely strong and needs no explanation. As soon as she came out of the portal, she went straight to Naijie. Naijie didn't expect that Liaoying could also teleport. Before she could react, Liaoying was close to her.

With a flash of the knife, the rifle in Naijie's hand was cut into two pieces.

However, the next second, Nai Jie put a saber on Liaoying's neck with a speed that was no less than Liaoying's.

"You let me win, didn't you? You didn't attack me directly, but destroyed my weapon." Nai Jie looked at Liaoying's face, a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Liaoying nodded and did not deny that she had shown mercy.

"It would be great if you were a little harder, so I wouldn't have to kill you." Nai Jie said, pressing the saber down a little, leaving a bloody mark on Liaoying's neck.

At this time, the surrounding space has become stagnant, and there is no possibility of escape even if using Phantom Cherry.

And Liaoying didn't seem to have any intention of running away. She couldn't bring herself to do anything harsh to the gentle woman who raised her.

But Li Xuanneng.

"Stop, if something happens to Liaoying, you will be buried with her." Li Xuan put the muzzle of the gun on Naijie's drum, aiming at her plump breasts.

A slight heat emanated from the muzzle, and the thermobaric bullet inside was ready to be fired.

"What a superb spatial ability... But do you think I'm not prepared? I have set traps around you. Once you fire, you and the gun will be teleported to the gap in space and you will never be able to come back." Nai Jie said without turning her head.

"You can try it. I promise that I will destroy your space trap at the same moment." Li Xuan said, and pushed the barrel forward again, sinking into Naijie's round leather drum.

Nai Jie blushed slightly, thinking that normally when threatening someone, one would target their head or heart, not their head. But in a situation like this, where their life was at stake, she couldn't afford to be shy.

"Ms. Nai Jie, you don't want to give your first time to thermobaric bullets, right?" Li Xuan said, and began to preheat the barrel. The scorching temperature made Nai Jie feel like she was in the scorching summer, and she was sitting on a stone block that was scorched by the midday sun.

"I won't surrender to the monster. The worst that can happen is that both of us will suffer losses." Nai Jie said in a cold tone.

Li Xuan was about to say something else, but was interrupted by a sudden ringing of the phone.

Nai Jie's face changed, and she suddenly left Liaoying behind, used teleportation magic to escape, and stood in the air several hundred meters away from the two of them.

"Has Miss Naijie changed her mind? Or has reinforcements arrived?" Li Xuan squinted his eyes and looked around, but did not sense any trace of the magical girl.

"No, it's time to get off work." Nai Jie shook her head, took out her cell phone and turned off the alarm.

"??? Are you hunters still working? Aren't you hunting monsters 24 hours a day, 365 days a year?" Li Xuan asked doubtfully.

On the side, Qimo had already hugged the distraught Liaoying and used healing magic to heal the wound on her neck.

"It's impossible to explain to someone like you - Liaoying, take care of yourself. Never appear in front of Shayue in the future, or she will definitely kill you." After Naijie finished speaking, she directly activated the teleportation magic and disappeared into the night sky.

Chapter 607: Frost Father Arrives

"What's going on?" Li Xuan was stunned - he originally thought there would be a big battle, but he didn't expect the other party to actually run away?

"Naijie pays great attention to her own life. She works from Monday to Friday and only goes out to hunt monsters on weekends. Her working hours are fixed at 9 am to 6 pm, and she will never work a minute longer. Moreover, she only snipes from a long distance or sets traps, and never fights with monsters." Liaoying explained.

"There is actually such a magical girl? Then why did she join the Hunter? Isn't the church more suitable for her?" Li Xuan asked.

"She dislikes the church's excessive rules and regulations. Hunters have more freedom and can easily obtain information about monsters. And although she only works two days a week, her efficiency is actually quite high. There used to be a lot of monsters in the Arctic Circle, but in recent years they have almost been wiped out by her alone." Liaoying's voice was a little weak, and she seemed to be still in a depressed state.

Li Xuan could understand her feelings. To her, Nai Jie, who had picked her up and raised her, was like a mother. Now that her mother wanted to kill her, she was naturally heartbroken.

"Liaoying, don't be sad. Naijie doesn't really want to kill you." Li Xuan comforted.

"Really?" Liaoying raised her head and asked doubtfully.

"If she really wanted to kill you, how could she not use awakening? Besides, putting the knife on your neck but not chopping it off is obviously giving you a chance to escape." Li Xuan reminded.

After listening to Li Xuan's explanation, Liaoying suddenly realized and her previous frustration gradually disappeared.

Li Xuan stroked Liaoying's head with one hand, turned his head to look at the frost crystal in the air - it was only the size of an egg, and the temperature around it had dropped to below minus 200 degrees, which was even lower than the temperature of liquid nitrogen.

"The life sacrificed by the spiritual creature makes up for what is missing from the Frost Crystal. It seems that Frost Father will be summoned soon." Li Xuan could feel the energy around him becoming increasingly dense, and a low roar gradually came to his ears, like a surging tide, or a terrible avalanche.

It began to snow, and the snowflakes that fell were as big as goose feathers. Blown by the strong wind from the far north, they made a sound similar to the howling of wolves, which was as terrifying as the prelude to doomsday.

Liaoying held Li Xuan's hand nervously. She felt a little nervous as she was about to meet the enemy she had been pursuing for many years.

With the disappearance of the last bit of frost crystal, the surrounding temperature was already very close to absolute zero, so cold that even the conduction of magic power was difficult.

No wonder the appearance of Frost Father itself means a huge disaster. The low temperature alone is equivalent to a continuous large-scale magic attack. Magical girls with weaker magic power cannot survive, let alone ordinary humans.

"Master, do you want to call for reinforcements? Judging from the situation, Frost Father is probably a very powerful S-level monster." Qi Mo reminded.

"Let Tanxiang drive the Shensaki and stand by. There is no need to alert anyone else." Li Xuan ordered.

The reason they were asked to stand by was because Kamisaki's awakened defense was quite impressive, and even Li Xuan himself couldn't break it in a short period of time. If the opponent's attack couldn't even withstand Amaterasu Omiya, then he would have no choice but to teleport away with everyone else, and would have no ability to fight head-on.

Of course, Li Xuan didn't think things could be that bad.

The rumbling sound became louder and louder, and the sky turned pale. Liaoying clenched the claw knife. Although she had learned to rely on others, she still wanted to complete this revenge by herself.

"It's coming, but where is it?" Qi Mo quickly sensed a powerful presence, but was unable to grasp its location.

She looked around in panic, feeling that he was everywhere, yet nowhere. The wind in the sky also took on a strange direction, sometimes south, sometimes north. The strong wind swept huge snowflakes, and just being in it was like being under continuous attack from B-level magic.

This huge feeling of oppression made Qi Mo start to tremble uncontrollably. She had never felt this way even when facing an S-level magical girl.

At this moment, a pair of warm hands rested on Qi Mo's shoulders, injecting warm evil energy into her body.

Qi Mo felt warm and when she looked up, she saw that it was Li Xuan who was hugging her shoulders.

"Master, I can't sense the enemy's exact location." Qi Mo said in panic.

"It's okay, I know where it is." Li Xuan said softly.

"Where is it?" Qimo asked blankly.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's all around us, but it has no specific form. Or rather, it's the blizzard itself: a natural disaster with thoughts," Li Xuan whispered.

"But how can we defeat such an opponent?" Qi Mo said in surprise.

"Its body contains enormous energy, or its life form is the collection of this energy. Theoretically, as long as we can get rid of this energy, it will be fine - Liaoying, I don't want to interfere with your revenge, but this type of enemy doesn't seem to be very suitable for you." Li Xuan said softly.

Liao Ying stared at the blizzard before her with wide eyes. Her attacks could easily kill an S-rank magical girl, but against this invisible enemy, she was completely helpless. Even with her awakening, she could only draw her sword and look around in confusion.

"So this is what Frost Father is? From the very beginning, I didn't have the slightest chance of winning... It can't kill me, and I can't stop it." Liaoying said in a trembling voice.

The snowflakes around were getting bigger and bigger, and had grown to the size of washbasins. This was beyond the limit of the size of a single snowflake observed by humans, but they were still blown all over the sky by the strong wind.

This is far beyond the reach of ordinary natural disasters.

"Master, please take action! This is not the type of person Miss Liaoying can deal with." Qi Mo reminded.

"No rush, I'm thinking about the origin of Frost Father. Do you think there is a possibility that it was not summoned by Frost Crystal, but is itself an aggregation of Frost Crystals?" Li Xuan said.

"That's unlikely. The energy of those frost crystals combined doesn't even reach one-tenth of this blizzard." Liaoying said.

"Frost crystal is just the core, and spiritual objects are not just composed of frost crystals. What if we use frost crystal as the core and gather some kind of energy that already exists in this area? That's just like what those spiritual objects are doing." Li Xuan said.

"You mean... every Frost Father is not the same individual? But he is newly summoned by the spiritual creatures?" Liaoying said in surprise.

"It's very likely. This can also explain why Frost Father is moody. Monsters of this level usually have their own personality and rationality, but I can't feel any wisdom from it. Liaoying, has Frost Father spoken?" Li Xuan asked.

Chapter 608: I beat Frost Father? Really?

"From the information I've gathered, no. But it can use magic, consciously attack and protect a target, and it is still conscious now." Liaoying shook her head.

"Being conscious doesn't mean being intelligent. I think it's just acting on instinct." Li Xuan said as he created several monsters with corrupted blood.

These monsters had no resistance to ice and were frozen stiff by the cold wind alone, but Frost Father did not deliberately attack them.

Then Li Xuan took out the socks that Li Sijie had tied. Before he could shake them out, the snowflakes in the sky instantly condensed into a pair of big hands and grabbed Li Xuan and others.

"Ah!" Qi Mo, the weakest one, was frightened. If these hands grabbed her, her barrier would not be strong enough to withstand it. Even Li Xuan would find it difficult to block this attack.

Li Xuan did not resist. He directly opened the portal and threw the stockings far away.

The big hand turned around without hesitation and grabbed the stockings, completely ignoring Li Xuan and others.

"What's going on?" Qimo said in surprise.

"There is residual magic power of Li Sijie on the stockings. It seems that this guy can only judge friend and foe through magic. Even if he has consciousness, it is only in its nascent stage. The so-called moodiness is only because its standards for identifying enemies are different every time. It is possible that the spirit creatures that formed Frost Father this time were all killed by Liaoying, a magical girl, so it has a hostile reaction to magic." Li Xuan said, opening the portal and taking the stockings back - after all, Li Sijie is not around now, and it is not so easy to ask her for the socks.

"So, I have no way to take revenge? The new Frost Father is not the original Frost Father, and my revenge has had the wrong target from the beginning?" Liaoying's eyes looked very empty. After all, her life was completely devoted to revenge. Now she was suddenly told that the object of revenge no longer existed, which made it difficult for her to accept for a while.

"In my opinion, it's not necessarily a mistake." Li Xuan opened the portal and pulled everyone high into the sky. From high in the sky, one could see that Frostfather had a clear boundary. It looked like a large bowl inverted on the ground, forming a hemispherical shape and slowly moving southward.

"Imagine if it uses magic as the criterion for searching the enemy and there is no source of magic around, how will it act?" Li Xuan asked.

"Move, find the place where magic power is most concentrated, destroy everything along the way, and kill all creatures encountered until the energy is exhausted." Qi Mo said sweating.

"Master! Can you stop it? Liaoying just wants revenge. If someone dies because of Frost Father, I will feel guilty! I can't imagine... This is all my fault! I am too arrogant. I don't have the ability to stop Frost Father at all!" Liaoying screamed like crazy. In her mind appeared scenes of broken families, snowflakes smashing the glass, and cold wind whistling in, freezing parents and children into ice sculptures.

This was the nightmare Li Xuan had seen in Liaoying's memory, created by Alice from her most feared memory. If Frostfather really attacked the city, this tragedy would be repeated thousands of times.

"Calm down, Liaoying, you have to calm down. Think carefully, where does your hatred for Frost Father come from? Who told you that you can summon Frost Father by collecting frost crystals?" Li Xuan put his hand on Liaoying's head and asked Alice to calm her down.

"Who? Who told me? I don't remember, I can't recall... I only know hatred, deep-rooted hatred... This hatred already existed when Naijie picked me up. It was also at that time that I knew that collecting frost crystals could summon Frost Father. It's just that my strength was very weak at the time, so I started to put it into practice only after I was promoted to S-level." Liaoying said mechanically.

"Something's wrong. It's strange that a little kid like you hate Frost Father because of a blood feud. Even if you were already a magical girl at that time, how would you know that it was Frost Father who killed your family? As for the method of summoning Frost Father, there is even less reason for you to know. It's as if someone deliberately directed this revenge." Li Xuan pondered.

Liaoying was shocked. Could it be that someone was really behind the revenge that she had sacrificed everything for?

"Boss, why don't you wait a minute before talking? Frost Father's movement speed is getting faster and faster. If he continues like this, he will soon reach the next city!" Seeing that Li Xuan was analyzing endlessly, Qi Mo had to stand up and remind him.

"Dealing with this kind of guy is a piece of cake." Li Xuan said contemptuously.

"Eh? This is an S-level monster. It's harder to deal with than the cardinal we met the other day, right?" Qi Mo reminded.

"That's right, its energy level is very high, almost reaching the peak of S-level. It is stronger than you, stronger than me, and stronger than Liaoying. But from another perspective, the only thing that is strong is the energy." Li Xuan said, opening a dark portal.

"Lonai, come here." Li Xuan called softly.

A minute later, Lonai, who hadn't even had time to take off her apron, rushed over.

"Master, do you want to cook? Hamburgers or salad?" Lonai ran over and asked.

"Go get rid of Frost Father." Li Xuan said expressionlessly, pointing at the huge hemisphere below.

"I'm going to fight Frostfather? Seriously?" Lonai pinched her apron in shock. Although she had raised her energy level to the pinnacle of A-level through the power of her followers, it was still a long way from S-level. Moreover, even an S-level magical girl would find it difficult to deal with this extremely powerful monster.

"Yes, it's you." Li Xuan said, taking out a bottle of spring water from the portal and handing it to Lonai.

"Let's finish this quickly and go back to prepare dinner. Make it exquisite to calm Liaoying down." Li Xuan said, patting Luo Nai's shoulder.

"Let me calm myself down first! It's impossible to defeat that kind of monster, right? Master, have I overstepped my authority by taking charge of the logistics recently and made you unhappy? That was something the head maid asked me to take charge of before she left. It was a bit wrong not to report it to you... but it's because I felt that you didn't care much about this kind of thing." Lonai took the spring water uneasily, his hands shaking so much that he almost spilled the water.

"What are you talking about? Of course I don't care about that kind of thing." Li Xuan felt a little amused. Because the food cooked by Lonai was delicious and she was also very careful in management, both Lilica and himself tended to let her do logistics work. It seemed that she had been in the rear so much that she had forgotten her abilities.

"Do you still remember your liberation ability?" Li Xuan asked.

"Remember, the Senro barrier can absorb energy and convert it into my own cherry blossom energy and emit it." Lonai said.

"Then what is this thing?" Li Xuan asked, pointing at the bottle in her hand.

"The water of the mad spring can activate potential and enhance liberation abilities... That's right! My ability is a natural counter to it!" Lonai suddenly realized it after he said it himself, drank the spring water, and then jumped down.

"Blooming! Attracting butterflies! Cherry blossoms falling!" Lonai started with a set of three-combo moves. Her magic had almost no pre-swing and had a very wide attack range. In an instant, the butterfly bullets of petals were floating everywhere, spinning and dancing like a bullet-hell game.

Chapter 609 Revenge

Frostfather originally did not regard Lonai as an enemy. After all, his enemy-hunting mechanism was targeted at magic and he had no hostility towards evil energy.

But Liaoying's attack does not distinguish between friend and foe. Under the explosion of a string of petals, Frost Father's energy structure was instantly riddled with holes.

Of course, it does not have a specific form like other creatures, so this level of injury is just a superficial wound to it.

Frost Father reacted quickly, condensing an ice cone in the air and stabbing it towards Lonai at astonishing speed.

With Lonai's strength, she was unable to withstand this attack, but for her, being able to lure the opponent to attack her was enough.

"Liberation! Senluo Barrier!" Lonai opened his folding fan, and a gorgeous cherry-red barrier suddenly appeared behind him.

With the blessing of the mad spring water, the scale and quality of the barrier were far stronger than before. The ice cone was instantly absorbed by Lonai, then turned into cherry blossom energy and shot out, which in turn smashed a big hole in the hemispherical structure of Frost Father.
