"Ah get away from me!"
"Wh-What are you doing?!"
"Perverts!"
As bare skins are shown on the livestream, along with the Dainsfield associates committing the act of stripping various individuals down to their undergarments, the world instantly turns silent in response to this.
Momentarily, viewers from various parts of the world remarks—
"Holy crap…"
"So, this is the sort of company Dainsfield is?"
"Is this company just a gathering of abnormal perverts?"
"Damn, some of those sick bastards don't even let go of the underwear…"
Comments of a similar nature are posted to the official live chat as well.
At this point, it wouldn't be strange for Jing Yuandong to faint once more—after only waking back up.
[I know this is a tactic and all, but…]
Massaging her temple, Lin Song says—
[Please think about the children who may be watching this.]
...…
Having children himself, and thinking of the image that he must maintain in front of them, Duanmu Chen, who had heard this can't help but freeze for a brief instance.
"Tch."
Clicking his tongue, Duanmu Chen ultimately chooses to put more priority on his own survival, as he chases after a weapon spirit, who is dressed in a white shirt with a pair of dark trousers.
...…
"…"
In order to hone herself further, Yao Ying had asked Nuo'er to bring her into this ruin.
However, the situation that she is currently dealing with is rather—
"…"
*Tatatatatatata!!!* staying behind cover, Yao Ying didn't dare to even poke her head outside of the alley, and is instead using her divine senses to spy on her enemies.
"…"
With two other Moon Guards nearby, Qing Yue—who had found her target, had issued a firing order on Yao Ying.
"…"
Positioning her hand near her storage ring, Yao Ying takes out a flash grenade, while throwing the sunglasses that she had received from Long Hua on.
As soon as the sound of gunfire turns mute, Yao Ying tosses the grenade outwards, and—
*Pah!*
"Ack!"
"Ah!"
"…"
Drawing out Xu Zuo from her storage ring, Yao Ying closes in on the Moon Guards; and in a swift manner, she swings her weapon to knock two of the enemies aside.
Just as she turns her focus onto Qing Yue next—
"Hmph!"
Raising a cold snort, Qing Yue—who had shut her eyes before the flash grenade went off, takes a step forward, and slashes at Yao Ying with her daggers!
*Klang! Klang! Klang!* exchanging more than 20 hits with each other in the span of a single breath's time, the two eventually broke apart.
"Commander!"
"Commander!"
As the two Moon Guards get off the ground, while covering their wounds, Qing Yue says—
"Stand down."
Summoning five white tigers from her pouch, Qing Yue continues to glare hatefully at Yao Ying.
Being outnumbered by this many enemies—
(Dammit…)
Glancing at the glazed tile roof, Yao Ying thought to make a break for it; however—
"I don't care who the hell you are, but the fact that you snapped my horn off—it pisses me off to no end."
Over the past few days, Qing Yue has had a difficult time falling asleep—for whenever she rests, she would dream of becoming a different person.
The form that person possessed—it was akin to the female demon that she had summoned, to which, Qing Yue instinctively began to realize that the female demon was none other than herself.
"…"
Storing her daggers away, and prying her mask off her face, Qing Yue mutters—
"Hào Hóng."
Following the utterance of these two words, Qing Yue's bright pink eyes turn ruby red—along with the two horns that are hidden beneath her hood.
As blue flames engulf Qing Yue—her figure that is shrouded away by the blaze, it rapidly grows to two meters in height.
"…"
And upon the blaze's dissipation, a tall figure—dressed in white robes with long white hair, stands before Yao Ying.
In the same instance, all the white tigers nearby expanded in size.
(…Does this still count as a weapon spirit? How come it seems similar to the demons that grandpa had told me about?)
As Xu Zuo gives off a subtle hum, Yao Ying ignites it in Yin energy, while suppressing her nervousness.
Attempting to run doesn't seem possible at this point; hence, her only option is to fight—regardless of how low the odds of victory may be.
*Grawr!* as the white tigers pounce forth with a ferocious roar, Yao Ying rotates her Core Formation realm cultivation base.
"…"
Closing in on the nearest white tiger, Yao Ying manages to cleave it in half in an effortless manner.
However—
*Boom!!!*
"…!"
Just as Yao Ying is about to close in on the next white tiger, Qing Yue kicks off the ground, and closes in on the former with her fist thrown forth!
*Klanggg…!!!*
"Uh…!"
Despite having blocked off Qing Yue's fist with her sword, Yao Ying still feels her arms turning numb from the impact.
Simultaneously, two of the white tigers close in from the side, while another drops in from above.
As all this is happening, the fourth white tiger rushes pass Yao Ying—to seal off her rear escape route.
"…"
Rotating the Tranquil Heart Incantation fiercely, time slows for Yao Ying, as she considers the options that are available to her in this dire situation.
(…In this environment—where there are numerous weapon spirits nearby, if I were to use my advantages as a practitioner fully, then...…)
Rather quickly, Yao Ying realizes that she truly had no other options available to her—other than to use her abilities as a practitioner fully.
However, with this excavation being livestreamed, she would end up exposing her identity for the entire world to see, as even now, there is a drone nearby—with its camera facing this direction.
(…Is there no other way?)
Just as Yao Ying is thinking of this, the humming that emanates from Xu Zuo increases in intensity, and with it—
(Child, lend me your body, and I shall defeat these enemies for you.)
An unfamiliar but gentle voice goes off in her head.
