Free Web NovelChapter 805: Chapter 714: A Dream of Glazed Glass (5)
The flames of war reflected on their faces; the battle was about to erupt.
Commander Bai appeared out of thin air, spinning once in March’s hand as the bullets were chambered.
Xu Xiaoyou used [Peak Form] to refresh the duration of [Bad Girl Workshop], swept out from the flank, and charged to kill toward March.
Blade-shadows flashed; the bullets were neatly sliced open by the Deacon Long Blade, the pair of pitch‑black knives crossing before Xu Xiaoyou’s shoulders, their chaotic edge-light forming a barrier in front of her. She bent low and sprinted forward, a flash of electricity vanishing in an instant, and the interwoven fire net was cleaved apart in the blink of an eye!
March snapped her hands hard; the Undead Armament unfolded section by section in her palms, and the whip‑blade Kiss of Dead Thorns tore through the air, coiling around the end of a black long blade.
The two locked in a brief stalemate—this was their first true frontal clash in the strictest sense. Even at full state, Xu Xiaoyou found that her Power and speed still couldn’t completely suppress March.
"I’ll kindly give you a word of advice." March’s lips curled up, her feverish gaze meeting Xu Xiaoyou’s. "Go easy with your hands. It’d be bad if someone got hurt."
Xu Xiaoyou twisted her step, turning her swing into a slicing cut; the force surged sharply, and the blade‑light stretched to infinity.
A wave of flame surged out like a prairie fire, completely igniting the ruins!
When the smoke cleared, March tapped the tip of her boot on the ground and slowly came down to one side.
At this moment, she discovered that at some unknown time a Skill Card had been stuck onto her left hand.
[Destiny Scapegoat]
A massive pressure descended from above; an immense force tugged at March’s body, and she felt her blue soul being yanked from her chest by an invisible presence.
The Rose Rifle lifted; [Eye of Death God: Transcend] was mounted. Xu Xiaoyou expressionlessly aimed at the soul being pulled from March, her fingertip resting on the trigger.
March was unconcerned. "I suggest you don’t do that—you’ll regret it, Secretary‑General."
Bang!
The gilded bullet pierced straight through the soul!
Xu Xiaoyou frowned slightly, because she found that the injury dealt did not feed back to March...
The other girl looked as if she hadn’t been affected at all, a playful smile hanging at the corner of her lips.
She quickly came back to herself; another [Reverse Time Shadow Merge] appeared in her hand, but this time her target was not herself, but March!
The heavy hum of a clock rang out; March’s figure was stretched and, in an instant, returned to the position from a few seconds ago.
Waiting for her there were the twin blades of the golden‑haired girl, wreathed in endless refining fire!
March neither dodged nor evaded; the blade stopped a few centimeters before her forehead, unable to advance another fraction.
Xu Xiaoyou looked down beneath her and was startled to find a Skill Card with rose‑red patterns stuck onto the Shadow under her body; the restless Silent Hand was frozen in place, and she was frozen along with it.
"Is it surprising?" March tilted her head slightly. "My dear."
This is...
——[Immobilization Technique: Transcend]
Xu Xiaoyou realized something and focused on March, only to see countless Skill Cards swirling around the edge of the girl’s skirt, the rose‑red patterns on their backs lighting up.
[Skillful and Dextrous], [Thief Dance], [Fountain of Life], [Blood Burning Engine], [Heaven’s Motion], [Overlimit Moment], [Angel Reconstruction], [Life‑Death Boundary: Transcend]!
These rose‑red Skill Cards spun rapidly, finally fusing at March’s fingertips into a single [Bad Girl Workshop: Life‑Death Boundary].
As the Skill Card turned to light and merged into March’s body, her aura surged skyward; the Witch’s phantom behind her laughed in crazed, feral glee!
These Skill Cards were exactly the same as the ones Xu Xiaoyou had just used to synthesize [Bad Girl Workshop].
There was no time to think about why the other girl possessed these Skill Cards. March, whose aura had multiplied several times over, had already rushed to the front of her, laughing as she pressed the Matrix Shatter Cannon to Xu Xiaoyou’s chest, the barrel expanding as it pushed in!
Boom!!!
A destructive beam pierced the night sky, lighting the darkness as bright as day!
When the light faded, the figure of the golden‑haired girl appeared; the clothing on her left side was torn to shreds, and her face was smeared with a layer of blood, leaving her looking somewhat battered.
"These Skill Cards..." Xu Xiaoyou steadied her breathing and looked at March again. "Where did you get them?"
"If I told you you personally handed them to me," March replied nonchalantly as she loaded fuel rods into the Undead Armament,
"would you believe it?"
Xu Xiaoyou took a deep breath.
This was beyond her expectations.
Could the other girl have some means of copying her abilities?
Or was there truly another "her" who had once handed these Skill Cards over to March?
"Rather than saying they were given," March changed her tone, "there were also some that weren’t handed over so cooperatively."
"My dear." Her lips were stained a vivid red. "I’ve heard those despairing screams. They were exquisite."
"A Demon Hunter Girl must have a clear understanding of the Witches she hunts—cater to their tastes, know yourself and know your enemy..."
"Lunatic." Xu Xiaoyou’s tone was calm.
Another [Peak Form] was used.
[Rose Destiny Armor] was renewed, and Xu Xiaoyou’s aura returned to its peak.
Though it was a limited‑edition Skill Card, her stockpile was not infinite.
Without any extra words, the two tangled together again. On the searing ruins, one gold and one red figure crisscrossed back and forth in a head‑on clash, with countless Skill Cards being used every passing second.
[Dead Hand],
[Crimson Blade],
[Deadly Radiance],
[Blade Waltz],
[Bloody Mary’s Kiss],
[Tyrant Monarch]...
Every time Xu Xiaoyou played a Skill Card, March would pull out an identical Skill Card to clash with it. Heavy Sword and long whip kissed each other, pitch‑black twin blades and Chain Blade entwined and embraced; the aftershock of their slashes tore through space, the shattered‑mirror‑like rupture spreading rapidly.
As the chime of the clock sounded, they simultaneously widened the distance. No one knew how many times this scene had replayed amid the flames of war. Breaker of Dawn and Rose Rifle took aim at each other, their trajectories of fate overlapping.
[Dynamic Vision],
[Overload Loading],
[Overlimit Vision Matrix: Transcend]
[Headshot],
[Dense Fire Net],
[Eye of Death God: Transcend],
[Perfect Finale Transcend]!
The bullet tips empowered by multiple Skill Cards glowed a searing red; the two of them exchanged fire over the ruins in a duel. Each collision of bullets was Devils from Hell vying and devouring, golden and crimson light‑shadows roaring as they Bite into each other, the resulting explosions enough to annihilate the high‑rises along their path!
The battlefield screamed and trembled; even the sky seemed to be falling in this contest of Devils, crashing down into the blistering shadows.
No one knew how long had passed before the two of them simultaneously exhausted their reserves, dropped their weapons, and charged at each other.
If they wanted to end the other quickly...
"My dear."
The girl’s words made Xu Xiaoyou pause for a moment, as she saw a Skill Card with intricate patterns flash into March’s hand, an aura of nightmare seeping from its face.
——[Fire God’s Dao Opening]
"Is this what you want to use?"
"I can accompany you to the very end—but with two [Fire God’s Dao Opening], no one here will be left alive."
"Are you sure you want to do that?"
