Chapter 66. Mu Ningxue, who steals "kills".
"Boom!!!"
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle"
The bewitching spider's ferocious figure had just emerged from the ice and hadn't even had a chance to show its power when it unexpectedly attracted a mid-level, third-grade thunderbolt!
The thunderbolt was like a wrathful bolt from the heavens, carrying an aura of destruction.
Moreover, Mo Fan's lightning bolt was covered with a spiritual seed, which gave it a mysterious boost. Its destructive power was beyond doubt, as if it could easily tear apart anything in its path.
"Tear!!!"
However, this bewitching spider was by no means a minor character that could be easily manipulated. After its tough body withstood the attack, it was instantly enraged.
Enraged, the bewitching spider brandished its steel-hard forelimbs, whose sharp blades gleamed coldly in the night light as it slashed down from side to side.
It was thirty meters away from Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue. Normally, such a distance should be safe, and its attack would not be able to reach them at all.
However, this bewitching spider was not so simple. Its forelimbs, which it slashed down, transformed into two sharp blades that cut through the air, accompanied by swirling air currents. They fiercely slashed towards Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue respectively, with an aura that seemed capable of cutting through everything!
"Wind Track!" X2.
Just as the enemy attacked, Mu Ningxue and Mo Fan unleashed wind magic almost simultaneously.
The wind element rapidly gathered around them, forming a unique trajectory.
However, when Mu Ningxue saw that Mo Fan had also used the same wind magic, her beautiful eyes widened instantly, and she was completely dumbfounded!
Her heart was filled with shock and disbelief. She never expected that Mo Fan would possess wind magic.
Moreover, judging from Mo Fan's reaction speed and the smoothness of his spellcasting, it is clear that his mastery of wind magic is also quite high!
This was another unexpected scene for Mu Ningxue, as if another layer of mystery surrounding Mo Fan had been lifted.
"Rose Flame - Fierce Fist - Nine Palaces!"
Compared to Mu Ningxue, who was somewhat dazed, Mo Fan had quickly adjusted his state and launched a fierce offensive.
The flames were like burning roses, carrying intense heat, while the fierce fist contained powerful strength, and the Nine Palaces skillfully combined and arranged this strength.
Sensing that Mo Fan was about to unleash another skill, the Bewitching Spider's survival instincts caused it to retreat quickly.
Clearly, Mo Fan's thunderous attack had inflicted a severe wound on it, leaving it with lingering fear.
However, although it reacted quickly, Mo Fan was using the Fierce Fist - Nine Palaces this time!
The powerful magical energy surged wildly beneath the earth's surface, causing it to boil like water, as if the energy was about to break through all obstacles.
In an instant, that terrifying power enveloped the location of the bewitching spider!
"Boom!!"
When the energy accumulates to its limit, the next moment is like a volcano that has been suppressed for a long time, bursting out directly from the ground!
"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"
Pillars of fire, like summoned fire spirits, instantly formed a giant nine-square grid, illuminating an area of over a hundred meters in a brilliant red, as if the entire region had been occupied by the flames.
The bewitching spider, whose body was already charred black from the thunderbolt attack, was now subjected to another explosive impact from the Nine Palaces. Large areas of burns appeared on its fragile body, the wounds seemingly telling of its pain.
"Wind Disc - Heavenly Net!"
At this crucial moment, Mu Ningxue stopped being in a daze and acted swiftly!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~!!"
The wind howled, as if it were a deadly blade summoned by Mu Ningxue. The wind carried immense tearing power, and the bewitching spider was instantly swept up by the wind.
After being violently torn apart by the gale, it fell heavily to the ground like an abandoned doll.
"Pfft."
The bewitching spider was almost instantly killed; its struggling life force vanished in an instant.
It was merely a bewitching demon, and before it could unleash its bizarre mental attacks, its defenses were pitifully weak, making it utterly unable to withstand the fierce attacks from Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue.
However, Mo Fan's heart was filled with nothing but "MMP" (a vulgar expression).
He looked at the bewitching spider that Mu Ningxue had killed, feeling extremely frustrated.
"Why are you stealing kills?" Mo Fan said speechlessly, his expression like that of a child whose favorite toy had been taken away.
"???"
Mu Ningxue frowned. In her opinion, killing demons was for eliminating harm, and there was no such thing as stealing kills. Did they think this was like playing a game?
Mo Fan scratched his head at Mu Ningxue's question, unsure how to explain the "unspoken rules" of the game to her.
But regardless, now that the bewitching spiders have been dealt with, they can return to the church.
On the way back, all around was quiet, with only the soft echo of their footsteps.
Mu Ningxue frowned slightly, her eyes filled with doubt and curiosity. She turned to look at Mo Fan and couldn't help but ask, "Your fire element has also reached the third level of the intermediate stage? And the strong elemental fluctuations when you cast wind magic just now... what exactly happened?"
Mo Fan glanced at her casually, then said casually, "You're not my wife, why do you need to know so much?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Ningxue's face immediately showed a hint of displeasure. She bit her lip lightly, feeling somewhat annoyed. However, upon closer reflection, what Mo Fan said wasn't entirely unreasonable.
The questions she just asked touched on Mo Fan's private life, and in a sense, they were indeed extremely inappropriate.
After all, everyone's hidden cards are like a mysterious garden, not something that just anyone can casually step into and explore.
However, Mu Ningxue still felt somewhat disappointed.
She had originally thought that Mo Fan would tell her everything honestly, just as she had always done.
But Mo Fan's reaction now made her feel empty inside, as if something was stuck there.
Does that mean that if they can't become lovers, they can't even be friends?
The thought flashed through her mind, making her feel somewhat complicated.
However, Mu Ningxue was an ambitious and aspiring woman.
Her clear eyes shone with a firm belief in the future. After a brief emotional fluctuation, she quickly adjusted her mindset and stopped thinking about matters of love and romance.
In her view, their paths were like two straight lines that intersected and then gradually diverged, ultimately indicating they were not meant to be together.
It's best to completely dispel those unwarranted fantasies and possibilities as soon as possible; it's better for both of us.
Mo Fan's lips curled into a sarcastic smile at Mu Ningxue's seemingly modest thirst for knowledge.
He seemed to have seen through everything. In his eyes, Mu Ningxue was now working so hard for the Mu clan, doing everything she could to bring glory to the family.
However, Mo Fan was well aware of the complexity and unpredictability of this world. He thought to himself, "Mu Ningxue will probably be very disappointed in the future."
That lofty family, that family glory that carries countless expectations, may not be as she wishes under the impact of reality, and all her current efforts may ultimately vanish into nothingness.
