As the main attacker, Luo Qingqing could only see the outline of two groups of Qi at first. The huge and dense one was evil spirit, and the other light green group was the enemy's Qi sensor.
As the distance got closer, more details came into her consciousness.
For example, the big demon is not exactly what Li described. It is a human figure wearing a hooded robe. Behind it, there seem to be countless tiny tentacles floating in the wind - those black lines made of air are constantly flowing. Extending into the distance, it was difficult to tell where they had gone.
However, her primary target is still the Imperial Mage.
The six flying swords were thrown at the enemy one after another, aiming at the three vital points of the neck, chest and abdomen. The previous fight had made Luo Qingqing aware that the opponent had a magic weapon that could automatically defend, so she planned to use force to defeat Qiao. No room left. Controlling six dragon scales at the same time consumes a lot of energy, but the attack is also the most ferocious.
Then she saw a strange sight.
The dragon scales that flew out first became slower.
It's like sinking into mud.
But she didn't feel any lag, everything was as usual.
This abnormal feeling that was inconsistent with reality set off alarm bells in Luo Qingqing's heart. She stopped and retreated backwards, but Xie Sui still maintained the same distance from her.
At this time she felt something was wrapped around one of her legs.
Just as he lowered his head, he felt a stinging pain on his legs, and then his body was dragged backwards by a huge force.
In an instant, the evil spirits suddenly disappeared.
She was pulled forward and fell forward, rolling several times on the ground before stopping.
Looking back, Luo Qingqing discovered that the thing wrapped around his leg was Yan Qing's chain.
The same is true on Li's side.
However, compared to Luo Qingqing, whose vision was affected and unable to detect the abnormality at the first time, the fox demon saw the mage's strange retreating posture almost instantly. She quickly changed direction, not only avoiding the surrounding area of Xie Sui, but also causing Yan Qing's chain to be thrown away.
"Are you okay? Do you feel any discomfort in your body?" The two of them walked around Luo Qingqing and asked.
"We haven't found anything yet." The latter clasped his fingers, "Fortunately, you held me back. It only takes a blink of an eye to be affected by evil spirits, so there shouldn't be any problems."
The two looked at each other with solemn expressions on their faces.
Luo felt something was wrong in the atmosphere, "Is there any problem?"
"You stayed in that area for almost sixty breaths, and it took Aunt Yan a long time to pull you back." Li whispered.
Sixty breaths...
Luo Qingqing was also stunned. It was only one-seventh of an hour. The total time of previous rounds of fighting with the mage was only this long, but she didn't feel equal at all.
By the way... where are the dragon scales
She looked back at the mage's position.
The six dragon scales are still moving forward, and the one that flew out first has already approached the opponent, but the latter seems to know nothing about it.
About sixty breaths later, the dragon scales penetrated her neck from the side and back. All three of them could see it sinking into the skin bit by bit, with blood gradually seeping out from the edges of the disconnected muscles and blood vessels.
Slowing down time has always been a subjective feeling, but this time, they witnessed with their own eyes a space where time passed slowly. It is centered on the demon and has an area of about three feet, which is exactly the length of the demon after it is brought down.
"In that case -" Luo stood up gently and threw the copper wire pendant again, "Then attack from a distance!"
The thunder fell through the patio, and the flashing electric light struck all the way towards Xie Sui - similarly, the hysteresis effect appeared quickly, and the speed of the current obviously continued to slow down, and it was almost completely stationary when it came within two steps of Xie Sui.
Yan Qing and Li saw Lightning's true appearance for the first time.
Countless tiny sparks advance toward the target little by little, trailing light blue trails behind them—these trails are like roads, guiding the brighter light from behind to follow. The scene that should have been completed in one millionth of a breath has now become a vivid picture.
Yan Qing was fine, but Li felt shocked in his heart!
Does the natural discharge and ionization channel that Xia Fan talks about actually look like this to the naked eye
Her understanding of the world seemed to suddenly become much clearer.
Luo Qingqing saw that it was not enough, so he simply used all the remaining four copper wire pendants on Xie Sui. Four spells were performed, four thunderbolts were fired, and they all landed at the same location!
The dense electric light became more eye-catching, weaving a grid above Xie Sui's head, and at the same time, the forward speed seemed to be so much faster.
It's a pity that Luo Qingqing has exhausted all the materials for performing the technique, and there is not much energy left in his body.
"Now we know it." Yan Qing rubbed his forehead, "The closer you get to the devil, the more obvious the hysteresis effect will be, but people within this range will not feel abnormal, as if the world should be like this. .”
"I heard Xia Fan say that various human reactions are inseparable from electric current." Li suddenly thought, "Since even thunder and lightning can be slowed down, will people's consciousness also be slowed down, resulting in the inability to detect Abnormal?"
"I'm not sure about this... but fortunately, the evil spirit doesn't seem to have the ability to move at the moment." Yan Qing pondered, "As long as we don't get close, it is not harmful."
"Wait a minute, Aunt Yan, you don't want to transport it back to Jinxia City, do you?" Li's eyes widened.
"Miss Luo's attack just now shows that the shock technique is not ineffective against it. If it were more powerful or more frequent, it might be possible to break through the demon's barrier. And there is a person in Jinxia City who is good at the shock technique. But that’s it.”
"No, it's not that simple." Luo shook her head slightly, and she pointed at the demon's head, "There - do you see any difference?"
The two of them looked in the direction she pointed.
Then there was a gasp.
At some point, the demon's hands covering her face quietly moved away. At the same time, her hood and robe were no longer pure black, but had a touch of texture, becoming more precise and real.
Under those hands, they seemed to see densely packed eyes.
The feeling of being spied on by a demon before... turned out to be not an illusion.
An indescribable chill rose from the soles of Li's feet to the top of his head.
What does such a change mean
The form when the devil was summoned was not complete, but now it is maturing little by little until it fully comes to the world.
As for what will happen when it becomes perfect, no one knows.
Yan Qing still maintained a calm expression and asked Luo gently, "How did you discover this?"
There is no point in panicking at this time. If the source of the change can be found, there may be a chance to stop the demon's transformation.
"Threads." Luo said softly, "Behind it, there are many black threads made of Qi. I just saw several threads inserted into its body."
"What does that mean?"
"I don't know either...but when the black line rolls back, it carries a different energy."
At this time, the dragon scales finally passed over the mage's neck, completely separating her head and body - at this moment, a large amount of energy poured into the demon's body, and its hands suddenly moved half way, and all its eyes were aligned. Qi looked at the three of them. The hood on top of his head also seemed to have weight, swaying slightly with the evening breeze coming in from the passage.
It is no longer simply a figment of Qi.
