Flying all the way, Yu Xian returned to the sky above the mountain that Gong Qian had blown up outside the battlefield.
On the ground, Zhang Shou and Gong Qian were staring at each other. Yu Xian descended from the sky, looking at the two curiously.
“Xian Yu, you’re finally back. Please talk some sense into her; she actually wants to go and make things worse,” Zhang Shou said to Yu Xian immediately upon his return.
Gong Qian retorted, displeased, “What do you mean, ‘make things worse’? I won’t get close; I just want to see if I can break the cage from outside.”
“That’s not a bad idea,” Yu Xian nodded, then looked at Zhang Shou, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Zhang Shou frowned, “What if she gets poisoned again?”
Yesterday was definitely the most exhausting day for him, even more tiring than when he died in the market.
Because he was constantly curing Gong Qian, his Healing Touch was consumed exceptionally fast, and he had to keep replenishing it. That single afternoon was busier than the entire day combined.
Although Demos was currently locked in close combat with Jin Dajun, he had just climbed to a high point and seen Demos attacking remotely with his tail. He really didn't want to have to cure Gong Qian again.
“Both of you make valid points, but I have an idea that might be worth trying,” Yu Xian said with a slight smile.
As he was returning, he had simulated many uses for his new abilities in his mind. The simplest was his own traversal between different bubbles, but there were actually many more intricate maneuvers that could be used in combat.
For instance, a flying knife could be shot into one bubble, then teleported into another bubble, thereby changing the angle of attack.
It could even utilize multiple bubbles in conjunction with Silver Blood-formed silver lines to create an elusive guillotine.
Yu Xian extended his hand, and bubbles rapidly formed. He then moved these bubbles into the sky, forming a circle around Demos’s cage.
He created another bubble and smiled at Gong Qian, “Now, pick up a stone and throw it into the bubble with all your might.”
Though confused, Gong Qian picked up a stone and threw it forcefully at the bubble.
Boom!
A sonic boom echoed, the stone instantly flew into the bubble, and then a loud crash came from a distance. Zhang Shou and Gong Qian both froze, then ran to a high point to look in the direction of the sound. Inside the cage created by Demos, there was a large pit on the ground.
“First time, no experience, so it wasn’t very accurate. Let’s try again!” Yu Xian said with a smile.
Zhang Shou exclaimed in surprise, “Xian Yu, your bubbles have this function too? That’s incredible!”
“Spatial abilities are rare in the entire country, and his specific ability has truly never been seen before. If Headquarters found out, his ranking would definitely rise even higher,” Gong Qian nodded.
She had nothing to do this morning, so she used her phone to check the information of the new members of the Evil Extermination Squad, which is why she knew about Yu Xian and Zhang Shou.
This was a privilege only available to Captain-level and above.
Then, Yu Xian and Gong Qian continued to cooperate, constantly throwing rocks into the cage. From initially missing eight out of ten throws, they gradually improved to hitting Demos with nine out of ten.
However, Demos couldn't even bother with this interference.
His battle with Jin Dajun was already in full swing, and he had no extra energy to defend against Gong Qian’s attacks.
Of course, the main reason was that Gong Qian’s attacks were merely throwing stones. Even with her great strength, the material of the stones themselves limited the intensity of her attacks. Those stones, at most, caused a slight sting when they hit Demos, and certainly did not inflict any real damage.
“What a shame, I should have prepared some throwing weapons,” Gong Qian said, picking up a stone with some disappointment.
Yu Xian picked up a stone and held it in his palm. Suddenly, he flipped his hand, and the stone disappeared from his right hand, only to reappear in his left. He practiced back and forth, smiling, “No rush, I have another idea, but I need to practice more.”
He discovered that the new bubble’s teleportation ability could adjust its position according to his thoughts.
For example, the stone Gong Qian just threw, the First one appeared in the exact center of the bubble. Since Demos was not within the bubble's target range, it didn't hit him.
Later, Yu Xian intentionally adjusted it, and the stone no longer appeared from the center; it could be offset internally, appearing from various positions within the bubble.
Because of this adjustment, he thought of a method, but he needed to become much more proficient before he could be confident.
The two cooperated, continuously attacking Demos. Finally, after half an hour of practice, Yu Xian could manipulate the stones to appear at any position within the bubble, with a one hundred percent hit rate.
“Alright, everything is ready!”
Yu Xian dispersed the two bubbles in his hand, then created a large number of small bubbles. These bubbles were only the size of Gong Qian’s fist. He controlled these bubbles to enter Demos’s cage.
Demos’s demonic cage, while impassable for most people, allowed objects the size of a fist to freely pass through its mesh.
Large numbers of bubbles floated inside the cage. Although Demos noticed these bubbles, due to Jin Dajun’s restraint, he had no extra energy to destroy them. Furthermore, he didn't believe these bubbles could pose a threat to him.
“Captain Gong Qian, step into the bubble in front of you, then punch with all your might. As for what happens next, you can leave it to me!” Yu Xian then said to Gong Qian.
Gong Qian had been throwing stones into the bubble in front, so as soon as Yu Xian spoke, she immediately understood what he wanted to do.
“Alright, I’ll punch with all my might!” Gong Qian smiled, then stepped into the bubble.
Inside the demonic cage, Jin Dajun punched Demos in the face. Demos similarly struck Jin Dajun in the abdomen with a punch. Then, just as Demos tried to use his tail to whip Jin Dajun, a bubble suddenly pressed against him.
Boom!
A small fist suddenly shot out from the tiny bubble, heavily striking Demos’s cheek.
Demos’s cheek took a punch, and his eyes immediately rolled back. This feeling of pain was all too familiar to him.
That brat isn’t dead yet?
Before he could react, another bubble pressed against him, and Gong Qian punched him in the chin.
Because the First punch had caused Demos to briefly lose his focus, the Second punch sent him flying. Another bubble approached in mid-air, and Gong Qian punched him back to the ground.
A bubble was already waiting on the ground, and another punch sent him flying out again.
Crack!
Under the impact of ten thousand tons of force, Demos’s spine instantly cracked.
Then he took another punch to the top of his head, and his skull cracked on the spot, making a crisp sound characteristic of a good head.
Everything happened very quickly. In an instant, Demos was like a sandbag, sent flying back and forth by the combined efforts of Gong Qian and Yu Xian. Throughout, he had no chance to counterattack, let alone think.
Knowing that Demos’s tail contained potent venom, the bubbles specifically avoided the tail, only attacking Demos’s head, abdomen, arms, and other areas.
Gong Qian’s strength was immense. Demos was hit by Gong Qian’s tremendous force, his eyes rolling back, his brain buzzing, completely losing the ability to think.
After about a minute, Demos’s massive body crashed to the ground with a thud.
“Good opportunity!”
Jin Dajun saw this scene and immediately rushed forward.
He sat on Demos’s body and unleashed a flurry of punches on Demos’s abdomen, causing Demos’s body to vibrate wildly and blood to continuously pour from his mouth.
However, neither Gong Qian nor Jin Dajun relaxed; instead, they continued their relentless attacks.
Both were determined not to stop until Demos was pummeled into a meat paste, each punch stronger and more passionate than the last.
