The river wind whistled eerily, making the two esper-users feel utterly unsettled.
Damn it, they were living the high life in the Azure Dragon Gang, yet these young women they encountered today were all so troublesome!
Their boss had been prescient in wanting to raid the Luocheng Base.
If they let the Luocheng Base develop further and these young women all became this powerful, where would they find any fun then!
At this moment, the two were merely a bit scared, not yet realizing the gravity of the situation.
"Boss, what happened!" Soldiers on patrol heard the commotion and rushed back anxiously, quickly surrounding Luo Xiaole and the others.
A flicker of confidence and seriousness flashed in their eyes. Surrounded by so many people, these women had no chance of escaping!
Capturing them would earn them a reward from the boss!
"Full esper power!" the water-esper shouted.
Their entire aura shifted, revealing a somewhat grim gaze.
"Water Rise!" The surrounding river water obeyed instantly, churning up thousands of waves. Layer upon layer of torrents surged onto the river's surface, colossal waves rising to the sky and crashing down on them!
The power was more than five times greater than before!
"Wind Wall!" The opponent's strength surged. Lin Xia dared not underestimate them and unleashed a circular wind wall with all her might, enclosing Luo Xiaole and the others within.
"Rumble..." Luo Xiaole turned her head at the sound. The ground beside them seemed to have something moving beneath it, advancing rapidly and sharply. Small humps of earth were pushed up in its wake.
That earth-esper could actually use earth-splitting!
Seeing it was about to breach the wind wall from underground and head straight for them.
"I get it." Luo Xiaole suddenly had an epiphany, looking at the rising earth mound before her.
"Have you prepared your own grave mound already..." Luo Xiaole said with a smile as the mound was pushed up and a person emerged.
Just as Luo Xiaole was about to make a move, she felt a sharp pain in her wrist. The thumbtack in her hand jerked and fell freely, landing precisely on the person's exposed hand.
"Ah!" The person cried out in pain.
"Oops, my bad, an accident." Luo Xiaole continued to feign regret, having intended to aim for the head.
"Spare me, spare me, pull this thing out!" The person struggled, a tearing pain immediately shooting through them. They then realized this was no ordinary thumbtack!
It could pierce his palm and be driven firmly into the ground. This thumbtack must be something special!
"Is that so, alright then." Luo Xiaole reluctantly pulled the thumbtack out quickly.
"Ah!!!" The person's scream intensified. "No, no... don't pull!" It was too painful...
"Oh..." Luo Xiaole shoved the nail back in again...
"..." The person immediately lost all will to fight.
The person's screams had just echoed outside the wind wall and reached the ears of the water-esper.
While he was stunned for a moment.
"Boom!" A blast of fire flew from Lin Ruoshui's hand, knocking the water-esper over and sending him flying!
"Plop." He then crashed heavily onto the ground.
"Ugh..." Tiny beads of sweat oozed from his head. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, turning to his side.
He had suffered internal injuries from the fall.
"Damn it!" he cursed inwardly. The opponent's strength was beyond his imagination. Not to mention those two sisters, even that bizarre skinny sprout could pierce a person's hand.
Tricky...
In that case, even if it meant mutual destruction, he had to get this revenge!
He instantly took out something Luo Xiaole was very familiar with and turned the machine's switch to maximum!
It was the esper controller!
A powerful electric current instantly surged out, shooting directly at the Lin sisters. They were immediately suppressed by the current and fell to the ground, writhing in pain.
At the same time, the current did not spare the water-esper and the earth-esper.
All four espers cried out in agony simultaneously!
The water-esper glared, his eyes turning red. If he hadn't been outmatched, he wouldn't have resorted to such measures!
Fortunately, he had brought this with him this time.
"What are you waiting for, attack!" he roared. The Azure Dragon Gang subordinates nearby raised their weapons and charged at Luo Xiaole.
Luo Xiaole tightly clutched her right wrist. Her hand was trembling uncontrollably. The coldness had entered her body, and the pain from the marrow was gradually spreading throughout her entire body. Her fingers even began to tremble violently, making it impossible to hold the thumbtack steady.
She tried to reach into her pocket for her strawberry bear, but she had no strength at all. Her fingertips moved, and the small strawberry bear plushie fell to the ground, becoming dirty.
Looking at the people surging towards her, a faint, woody citrus scent suddenly reached her nose.
She grinned, "Then let's play a game."
The water-esper looked at her trembling, yet still fearless appearance and sneered, "Alright, for your last moments, brother will play with you. What game?"
"Point and shoot." Luo Xiaole chuckled.
Then, she raised her hand, trembling, and weakly pointed at a subordinate with a vicious expression.
"Bang." A crisp gunshot echoed.
A blood hole immediately appeared on the man's forehead. Maintaining a shocked posture, he fell backward!
"What!" The water-esper's eyes nearly popped out.
Following that, Luo Xiaole became like a grim reaper. Wherever her slender, trembling little finger pointed, someone fell.
One by one, the ground was soon littered with bodies.
Only when the two espers remained did she finally withdraw her finger, smiling palely.
"Mo Chen, your marksmanship is amazing!" she praised generously.
When they were confronting these most troublesome espers, she had already asked Mo Chen to take Luo Shu and quietly go find the weapons and supplies they had placed nearby.
They were merely stalling for time and assessing the opponent's skill.
Based on the time, Mo Chen and the others should have returned with the weapons by now.
Luo Shu scampered over, proudly showing Luo Xiaole four chubby little fingers.
There were over 4,000 weapons in these carts!
Good heavens, they had seized even more this time than yesterday!
Worth it, worth it!
She staggered back a couple of steps. It was too cold by the river! Her illnesses were about to flare up!
A warm and reliable arm suddenly supported her from behind.
A pair of deeply worried eyes met Luo Xiaole's gaze.
It's over...
Luo Xiaole stared blankly at Mo Chen.
Recently, she had become increasingly certain that her feelings for this "great god" were becoming less platonic.
For instance, at this moment, she even wanted to... hug Mo Chen.
And it wasn't out of gratitude for his help.
Despite having no strength, she unconsciously did so. She suddenly reached out her hand, about to "take advantage of" Mo Chen...
"Come and see quickly." Mo Chen, however, dodged and, with a look of concern, called over Pi Jiajia.
Her arms fell into empty space!
Luo Xiaole was shocked. Did Mo Chen use the same trick he used on others to deal with her!
Was it all her own illusion!
The person next to them, Mo, realized belatedly, and a voice suddenly echoed in his mind, "Did I miss something just now?"
Pi Jiajia supported Luo Xiaole's arm, and a fierce green light flashed.
He was horrified, "Luo Xiaole!! You can't move anymore, not a single action! Your arm is almost ruined, do you know that! No one can cure it..."
