A match self-ignited, emitting a warm and peaceful light.

As a consumable item, its range of effect was far greater than what Qing Xingdeng had imagined.

Wherever the light passed, the dust in the air was enveloped in a layer of hazy, dreamlike color.

Qing Qiu's figure appeared in the void, its astonished expression clearly illuminated.

Bang!

Li Ang pulled the trigger, and the silver, demon-warding bullet, effective only in headshot mode, instantly struck Qing Qiu between the eyebrows.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the bone between Qing Qiu's eyebrows caved in, firmly lodging the bullet.

Qing Qiu itself was sent flying backward by the force of the impact.

An opportunity.

Ding Zhensi and Yu Yixin moved instantly.

In the Killing Game, advanced demon-warding bullets are usually silver, capable of piercing spells and energy shields.

If they penetrate the surface defenses and damage flesh, they can cause a very brief disruption of energy within the target's body – high-level demon-warding bullets, if left in the wound for a long time, can even seal a creature's supernatural abilities.

Thump, thump, thump, thump.

The Kui Ox mecha stomped on the ground, and the vector propulsion nozzles on its back spewed out ghostly blue flames, propelling the mecha to overtake the flying Qing Qiu. The high-frequency cutting blade slashed down vertically.

Yu Yixin, who had activated the Prajna Transformation, looked like a demon. Her black hair flew wildly, and her hideous expression completely obscured the girl's delicate elegance.

Her arm, covered in veins, swung the katana, slashing horizontally at Qing Qiu.

Clang!

At the critical moment, Qing Qiu twisted its body and raised the arm holding the rapier, using the rapier to deflect the downward trajectory of the high-frequency cutting blade.

Its left hind foot, in mid-air, accurately stepped on the blade of the katana, tapping lightly.

The demon general's physical qualities, far exceeding those of humans, were once again demonstrated.

Yu Yixin was swept up by the force transmitted from the katana, and her arms were passively pulled towards the ground.

She could only watch as Qing Qiu, with a silver bullet embedded between its eyebrows, twisted its body in slow motion, using its seemingly delicate and weak right hind foot to kick her face.

Boom!

Yu Yixin felt as if she had been hit head-on by a speeding train. Her entire body flew sideways involuntarily, and the sharp pain from her neck made her think that her neck bones were about to break...

No, wait,

They already were broken.

The demon body of the Prajna Transformation was extremely tough and agile, rebalancing itself in mid-air.

The katana plunged into the ground, creating a long furrow while buffering the kinetic energy of Qing Qiu's kick.

This allowed Yu Yixin to decelerate and regain her footing on the ground.

The neck bones were broken into several pieces, and the skin behind the neck revealed the deformed traces of the broken bones.

The entire neck was as soft as rubber.

The head was swaying uncontrollably, trying to droop forward or backward, looking extremely terrifying.

If she hadn't activated the Prajna Transformation just now, she probably wouldn't have survived even with ten lives...

Yu Yixin held her head with both hands, literally "lifting" her head up to look forward.

Qing Qiu landed again. Affected by the illusion-breaking effect of the [Illusion Match], and with a silver bullet embedded in the center of its forehead, it could no longer become invisible.

Ding Zhensi controlled the mecha, pressing forward and slashing down with the blade, not giving Qing Qiu any time to breathe – the Kui Ox mecha was large and clumsy. Although its agility was far superior to that of tanks and armored vehicles in the real world, it was still too slow compared to a demon general.

Once the distance was opened, there would be no chance of catching up.

Clang, clang, clang, clang –

The Kui Ox mecha launched a fierce attack on Qing Qiu like a storm, the high-frequency cutting blade colliding with the rapier, creating dazzling sparks.

The round shield removed from [Shan Hai · Hu Jiao] slammed into Qing Qiu again and again, forcing it to move and preventing it from retreating.

The candle used by Qing Xingdeng to break the invisible state must have time and other limiting conditions – which could be seen from the fact that Qing Xingdeng was still standing there and unable to come to support.

They couldn't give the fox a chance to escape the range of the firelight. Otherwise, this demon general would once again遁入 (dùnrù) (escape into) invisibility and, with its high mobility, defeat the players one by one.

Ding!

Qing Qiu, its face covered in blood and its expression ferocious, flicked open the round shield in the Kui Ox mecha's left hand with a sword. Enduring the intense pain, it twisted the muscles between its eyebrows, completely squeezing out the gradually dissipating demon-warding bullet from the wound.

The feeling of being restrained finally disappeared.

"Your mecha uses the souls of妖兽 (yāoshòu) (demon beasts), doesn't it?"

Qing Qiu grinned and whispered in an alien language that Ding Zhensi couldn't understand, "Even from a distance, I can hear it.

Your mecha is crying, resenting, and furious..."

It suddenly swung its sword, catching the high-frequency cutting blade of the Kui Ox mecha. It raised its left hand, grabbed the mecha's wrist, and, to Ding Zhensi's astonishment, swung its arm.

Like an ant raising a road roller,

It lifted the entire Kui Ox mecha, which was far larger than itself, and flung it to the side, smashing it heavily on the ground.

The rapier easily penetrated the thick alloy shield in front of the cockpit.

Bang!

The gunshot rang again, but this time, it failed to hit Qing Qiu – in a flash of lightning, it raised the Kui Ox mecha's arm, using the latter to block the shot.

"Your gun is very powerful."

Qing Qiu's calm voice echoed in the open space, "But if you can't aim accurately, or if you hit something else,

It will have no effect at all.

I don't need to dodge the bullets.

As long as I react a split second before your finger moves and pulls the trigger,

And put something else in front of my head."
