: Just a Noble Cultivator

Chapter 81 Just a mere cultivator

"This must be spread! It absolutely must be spread!"

A golden streak of light flashed through the crimson portal, and in the next instant, the magical girl who had been trapped for so long finally returned to the material world.

The air before her was no longer thick and blood-like; a fresh and natural breeze brushed against her cheeks, making Magic Gardenia's consciousness clearer.

"Gardenia, let's find a place to rest first."

The familiar's worried voice came from beside him.

"You've been trapped by that witch for so long, and you just forcibly transformed inside the Grand Duke's barrier. Your body won't be able to handle it."

Gardenia pursed her lips, and despite being exhausted, a hint of determination still shone in her eyes.

"No, we can't stop here yet."

"That witch, she'll definitely come after us!"

"I have to tell Sister Si before she catches up with me!"

"Otherwise it will be too late!"

With this belief, the magical girl transformed into a streak of light once more, gardenia petals fluttering down as she flew at an incredible speed toward the northern outskirts of Linjiang City.

However, her speeding figure did not last long. A hazy, earthy yellow light flashed by and collided head-on with the stream of light.

The two colors of light surged continuously, but in the end, the earthy yellow light had a slight advantage. The golden light exploded, and Gardenia was sent flying backward.

Seeing that a fight was about to break out, the familiar quickly burrowed into the inner space.

It had been mentally prepared for a long time before it infiltrated the cadre base alone to steal the seeds and rescue its contractor.

It doesn't have the courage to fight alongside its contractors right now.

"Witch—Dust and Smoke!"

Ignoring the familiar that had deserted its post, Gardenia was startled when she saw the enemy before her.

Under normal circumstances, when she is at her peak, she certainly wouldn't be afraid of this crazy witch executive.

But since this transformation is forced, the fact that Gardenia can only unleash about 30% of her own power is already a result of her unwavering belief.

If we can't win, we can only stall for time!

"Oh my, Magic Gardenia, I never expected you to escape from her clutches."

The witch clapped her hands hypocritically, a smile playing on her lips.

"But if you're hoping someone will come to rescue you, you're making a big mistake."

Hearing her words, Zhi Zi's heart sank.

The witch Chenyan continued.

"Hehe, I just created an adult inferior beast in the city center. I'm afraid all the magical girls in Linjiang City have rushed there by now."

"Even if you try to stall for time, it's no use."

"!"

Zhi Zi's face darkened; it seemed a battle was unavoidable.

"Magic Converges!"

The tip of the Gardenia Magic Wand flashed with light, followed by a burst of blazing golden light.

The witch held the round bead, and the earthen-yellow barrier flashed by. The beam of light vanished without a trace the moment it touched the barrier.

The witch's smile grew even brighter.

"It's no use, Magic Gardenia. Just surrender and I'll take good care of you."

Gardenia took a deep breath.

"Let's see if you can catch up with me!"

The magic wand in her hand transformed her into a streak of light once more, but this time, the golden light flew in the opposite direction.

In that case, the only option is to move the battlefield to the plains outside the city.

At least, let's not let it affect ordinary people.

The idea was wonderful, but the witch didn't follow her script at all.

The witch held an earth bead in her hand, and with a wave of her red robe, she stirred up a cloud of quicksand.

Uh, don't get me wrong, this is definitely not a musical piece.

In fact, it was just an ordinary sandstorm.

However, even though it was just a sandstorm, its destructive power in the suburbs was still quite astonishing.

Look, aren't there two people hurriedly crawling out of the house that was buried by sand and dust?

The golden light paused for a moment, then the magical girl's figure reappeared.

Gardenia:

Wasn't this area supposed to be demolished last year? How come people are still living here?

What exactly is the disaster relief agency up to?

Even the witch Chenyan was stunned when she saw the two of them.

Actually, she just used a skill randomly and didn't even think about hostages or anything like that.

After all, she finally regained her powers from when she was a magical girl, so she had to put them to use.

But it's perfect, might as well use a hostage we got for free.

With a wave of her hand, the witch summoned sand and dust, which gathered in her hand and brought the two civilians directly to her side.

As mentioned earlier, magical girls' powers are quite subjective, so many executives are actually hesitant to use the hostage tactic.

If the magical girl's idealism suddenly erupts and she breaks through in front of everyone, shouting about friendship and justice and rushing over to punch you to death, you won't even have a place to cry your eyes out.

However, Chenyan clearly didn't think so.

After all, look at her now, having regained all her power, she's thriving, while the enemy magical girl is like a candle flickering in the wind.

Regardless, the advantage lies with her!

"Hehe, Magic Gardenia, how are you feeling now?"

After bringing the two commoners over, the witch didn't even glance at them, but just smiled and spoke to Gardenia.

The latter's expression indeed turned ugly.

She whispered.

"Release them. Your target is me, it has nothing to do with them."

Upon hearing this, the witch's smile widened.

"Oh, really? What can I do if I don't let you go?"

"Oh, Magic Gardenia, you know what? I've always wanted to try threatening you with hostages, but that tomboy Chang Xiao wouldn't let me."

"The human body is really fragile," she complained.

"I have to be careful to control my strength when I play with those toys, otherwise it would be a big problem if I accidentally tore my legs or arms."

"It's bad enough that there's blood everywhere, but it's also very noisy, constantly screaming and yelling. If I pull out their tongues, they'll choke to death."

With each word she spoke, the anger in Magic Gardenia's eyes grew stronger.

The witch looked into her eyes, her voice trembling, and said with a look of ecstasy.

"Ah, that's it. And some of the toys have eyes just like yours, they practically want to devour me alive."

"They were just too weak. I made them use all their strength to stab me with the knife, but they couldn't even make me feel pleasure—"

"You said they were using knives, right?"

Amidst this increasingly perverse atmosphere, a somewhat chilling voice rang out.

Both the witch and the gardenia were stunned when they heard this.

What does that mean?

The witch Chenyan turned around in confusion, only to see a girl with long, flowing black hair slowly taking down a cloth bag from behind her.

"Unfortunately, I'm using a sword."

An uncontrollable killing intent made the witch's hair stand on end in an instant.

It was only at this moment that she suddenly realized that the "hostage" in front of her seemed a little strange.

"You are—a magical girl!"

"Clouds drifting under the moon."

A cold glint appeared, and pure white sword energy, like clouds, soared into the sky.

The witch felt a chill on her neck, and then the world turned upside down, allowing her to see those cold, clear eyes.

Li Jiangqun stood holding a sword, its blade as cold and clear as snow.

She said in a low voice.

"Just a mere cultivator."
