Chapter 62 Black Fire
"Do you think Jiangcheng is a place you can come and go as you please?"
Xia Xue's voice suddenly rang in the ears of the martial arts master and the mind master.
The martial artist instantly assumed a defensive stance, while the mind master, along with his wheelchair, levitated, ready to fly away at any moment.
"Xia Xue? How did you find us?"
They were already being extremely careful, deliberately using surveillance cameras to observe the battlefield, and even intentionally avoiding looking at Xia Xue on the screen. They also used pre-prepared mystical techniques to conceal their presence and interfere with the deductions. How did Xia Xue still manage to find them?
With a loud bang.
The door was blown open.
Xia Xue sneered, clutching her helmet, and slowly entered through the dust and smoke.
"Such intense killing intent, such close proximity, as conspicuous as a torch in the darkness, tell me, how did I find you?"
Only when the old man with the Transformation Realm faced Xia Xue directly did he truly realize Xia Xue's power.
That kind of invincible power simply by standing there.
"No, impossible. How could your deductive skills possibly break through the treasure given by the Lord of the Underworld?"
Xia Xue's eyes lit up when she heard about the treasure.
The tracing of origins was initiated silently, and Xia Xue obtained the information she wanted. She glanced at the old man who had reached the Transformation Realm, her eyes filled with disappointment.
"They really think they can be invincible with just two one-time use talismans?"
How can it be a one-time use talisman?
She thought she had another chance to generate a treasure chest.
The martial artist, who had just reached the Transformation Realm, finally realized what was happening.
"So, you always knew you were doing that on purpose?"
Xia Xue scoffed.
"I sensed your presence before I entered this highway, but you are scattered too far apart and hiding, making it quite troublesome to deal with you. I'll simply lure you into making a move, and the moment you make your move will be the perfect opportunity for me to strike and wipe you all out at once."
The martial artist's face turned pale.
His supposedly flawless schemes were actually anticipated by the other side, who even turned the tables on them and captured them all.
The spirit master, suspended in mid-air, was so angry upon hearing this that he cursed, "I told you long ago that your plan wouldn't work, but you insisted it would. Now look what happened, we've been blocked from the fountain!"
Xia Xue watched with great interest the wheelchair-bound masked man floating in mid-air.
"What kind of mystical technique is this? You can even fly?"
The Nian Master rolled his eyes and said in a hoarse, aged voice.
"You ignorant fool, what I'm using isn't some kind of mystical art, it's a superpower, the most powerful and comprehensive superpower in legend, telekinesis. Ever heard of it?"
To Xia Xue's surprise, as the Nian Shi replied, the system's voice rang out in her mind.
"A cameo appearance in 'The Fantastic Journey of a Girl with Superpowers,' opening the treasure chest..."
"Max level ability: Telekinesis."
Current level: Tier 2.
Second-order telekinesis:
Limitation 1: You can use your telekinesis to lift items up to 120 kilograms.
Limitation 2: Your telekinetic range is twelve meters.
Drawback: When you use telekinesis, your limbs will be paralyzed.
"Max level trait: Limbs intact."
With the birth of her psychic power, Xia Xue felt a heat between her eyebrows. In an instant, it was as if her brain had broken free of its shackles, and a holographic view with a radius of twelve meters appeared in her mind.
These mental energies are dispersed, like individual threads, each with a very limited capacity to bear weight.
However, by combining them together, they can achieve a maximum load capacity of 120 kilograms.
With Xia Xue weighing only 60 kilograms, she could easily fly like the masked man opposite her.
Xia Xue looked at the masked man, who was completely shrouded in a black robe, with a surprised gaze.
"Are you a woman?"
Furthermore, judging from the title of the work, the other party is a young girl.
The old, hoarse voice of the chant master rang out again.
"You're the woman, your whole family are women."
His tone was very urgent, and you could clearly hear the guilt in his voice; the content was even more...
It exudes a youthful vibe.
The martial artist, having reached the Transformation Realm, glanced in disbelief at the floating Nian Master beside him.
Clearly, even now, he still doesn't know the Nian Master's true gender or actual age, and he's being completely fooled by the Nian Master.
However, now is not the time to dwell on these things.
His voice, like a bead, appeared in the ear of the chant master.
"Let's work together, or we'll all die."
The mind master was terrified of Xia Xue's methods, so he used his mental power to bind the sound into a line and replied.
"Is there really a chance for a counterattack? I think it's better if we split up and run, that way we each have a 50% chance of escaping alive."
The martial artist, who had mastered the Transformation Realm, let out a furious laugh.
"You have a 50% chance, right, Nen Master? Don't forget, you're a member of Netherfire. You should know the price of betraying Netherfire, shouldn't you?"
The Nian Master seemed to have thought of something, shuddered, and quickly nodded, saying, "Alright, let's attack together."
The martial artist, who had reached the Transformation Realm, snorted coldly.
"If I say 'take action,' I'll take action immediately."
Xia Xue seemed very interested in Nian Shi, her gaze remaining fixed on him.
"Interesting. How did you join the Netherfire? I didn't sense any killing intent from you, not even a hint of malice, and you didn't seem to have much sin. Tsk tsk, if you hadn't been here, I would have thought the mastermind was just a martial artist at the Transformation Realm."
Xia Xue's attention was focused on the Nian Master, which was excellent news for a martial artist at the Transformation Realm.
Just as Xia Xue opened her mouth to speak, the martial artist finally found the perfect opportunity.
"Now's the time, let's do it!"
Upon hearing the command from the martial artist at the Transformation Realm, the Nian Master cursed under his breath.
"That bastard attacked when Xia Xue's attention was entirely on me! Doesn't that make me his pawn? Wait till we get back, I'll teach him a lesson!"
Although the chanting master was cursing in his heart, his hands moved very nimbly.
She instantly unleashed all the psychic power she could muster, launching an attack on Xia Xue.
The martial artist, despite his advanced skill, showed no intention of making a move and instantly darted towards the window.
After the Nian Master made his move, he realized that the Transformation Realm martial artist had not made a move, but had simply fled.
Enraged, she immediately launched into a tirade of profanities.
"You bastard, how dare you lie to me!"
In her haste, she even forgot to disguise her voice and used her own.
Upon hearing the voice, Xia Xue's face indeed showed that expression.
"Judging from the voice, you should be around my age."
Xia Xue's psychic power arrived first despite being delayed, instantly neutralizing the psychic power of the psychic master. She even had some remaining power, which she used to gather into an invisible psychic hand.
Everything is under our control.
After transforming her psychic power into her palm, Xia Xue clearly felt that her control over psychic power instantly increased by several levels.
With a "bang".
The martial artist, who had just leaped over the window and was still in mid-air, was struck down by a palm.
"It turns out that mental power can also be used to generate internal energy."
Ming Jin, An Jin, Hua Jin, and Dan Jin are not only the manifestations of Jin Qi, but also profound techniques for using Jin.
Just now, when I used mental energy to transform into palm strikes, I was using the technique of Dan Jin (internal energy).
He directly knocked the old man, who had mastered the Transformation Realm, to the ground with a single palm strike.
The old man, enduring waves of dizziness, struggled to think: "What kind of technique was that just now? This force felt even more refined than that of the Transformation Realm. Could it be... Dan Jin? Xia Xue actually mastered the Dan Jin technique at the Transformation Realm and even combined it with Xuan Shu (mystical arts). She is truly a peerless genius."
Thinking of this, the old man, filled with jealousy and resentment, fainted.
A black fire pattern appeared between the old man's eyebrows, instantly lit up, and a small, illusory black flame emerged.
The black flame seemed to ignite the oil drum, and the old man's body instantly burst into flames, losing his life within moments.
After the black fire died down, his body appeared to be unharmed.
His face showed no trace of the pain of someone who had been burned to death; instead, it wore a smile of a life fulfilled and without any regrets.
It looks quite eerie.
"They've been silenced again?"
Xia Xue frowned slightly and shook her head.
"This time, the method is even more mysterious."
Xia Xue could only trace her origins to a strange, illusory space composed of red lotuses and black flames.
"It seems the other nine were also silenced."
Sensing something amiss, Xia Xue turned and scanned the area, activating her Origin Tracing Technique. She discovered that those she had knocked unconscious had indeed died in the same way as the old man.
"What a cruel attack."
Clearly, before these people arrived, the higher-ups of Netherfire had already anticipated the worst-case scenario and left behind a backup plan: if the mission failed, these people would be immediately silenced.
Xia Xue looked up at the Nian Shi, who was still confused and hovering in mid-air, bewildered, and said gently:
"I know you've just joined the Underfire and haven't stained your hands with blood yet. I can give you a chance to turn over a new leaf. Get down here."
