Proving the Dao of Hunyuan from the Age of Witches

Chapter 053 Bait

In a dimly lit, deserted town, on a misty, damp road, there were three girls.

It was none other than Luo Xi, Bei Qi, and Shui Lin.

Luo Xi stood calmly in front of Bei Qi and Shui Lin, forming a standoff.

Bei Qi's expression was gloomy, and her face showed a sinister look.

Shui Lin looked helpless and somewhat at a loss.

"You say I'm ignorant and arrogant?" Luo Xi stopped attacking after breaking through their defenses.

She broke through the defenses of the two witches single-handedly, which was tantamount to telling them that her magic was superior to theirs!

Given her ability to walk on her own consciousness, the two witches must already know her strength.

Beiqi needs to calm down.

Having proven her strength, Luo Xi was quite satisfied. Looking at the witch before her, Luo Xi sneered and said, "There are always people who think they are the chosen ones of heaven, but they are just frogs in a well."

The metal floated up from around Bei Qi again, but this time it was Shui Lin who stopped Bei Qi.

"You can't beat her, give up, Bei Qi." Ice-like fragments had already appeared around Shui Lin.

Bei Qi was stopped by Shui Lin and did not attack, but her delicate face was already extremely distorted. "You are very powerful, that's a fact."

"But what about your family? In the file, you have a younger sister who is also a witch..." Bei Qi sneered.

Luo Xi's calm gaze suddenly sharpened. Before Bei Qi and Shui Lin could react, Luo Xi used her consciousness to instantly teleport behind Bei Qi. Her hand, imbued with magic, formed a palm and pierced directly through Bei Qi's chest!

Bei Qi showed a pained expression, and the metal around her formed blocks, shooting out regardless of friend or foe.

Beiqi's last stand!

Shui Lin had already taken a few steps back, abandoning the teammate who was attacking her, and an ice shield appeared in front of her to block the attack from the metal controlled by Bei Qi.

Without dodging or avoiding, Luo Xi took advantage of the moment when Bei Qi bent over in pain and slapped her on the head with a palm, unleashing magic with cutting properties!

Ignoring Bei Qi's cries of pain, Luo Xi coldly dragged the helpless Bei Qi and dumped her in a building—a restaurant.

Afterwards, Luo Xi stood quietly in the middle of the road, silently repairing her body.

This was Luo Xi's first real solo confrontation with the witch, and she emerged victorious.

This battle gave her a clearer understanding of witches.

Witches are truly terrifying, with their incredibly powerful healing abilities...

Either don't do it at all, or go all out. If you're not confident you can completely suppress or kill your opponent, then don't easily become their enemy, or you'll face endless troubles in the future!

Looking back at Shui Lin, she noticed that Shui Lin hadn't made a move since Luo Xi had dumped Bei Qi at the restaurant.

The helplessness on Shui Lin's face had vanished, replaced by a look of keen interest. "Now that you're calmed down, shouldn't we talk about a collaboration?"

Luo Xi was somewhat surprised by Shui Lin's change. She slowly pulled out the metal strips from her body, activated her magic to repair herself, and then slowly spoke, her tone calm and indifferent, "How do we cooperate?"

"You just left Bei Qi in that room to use her as bait to lure the anomalous phantoms, right?" Shui Lin said with a smile. "Let's fight the anomalous phantoms together, and we'll split the anomalous cores we get after defeating them 50/50."

Luo Xi neither confirmed nor denied what Shui Lin said, but calmly replied, "I do not agree with a 50/50 split. I can still deal with the abnormal illusions without you."

"Then I'll deal with the abnormal illusion, and you can watch from the side. After all, you're the youngest witch, and Sister Wei Ying said she would take care of you. After we get the abnormal core, we'll split it 50/50, okay?" Shui Lin said teasingly.

Luo Xi gave Shui Lin a deep look, becoming wary.

This witch named Shui Lin not only concealed her own information at the beginning, but also acted as if she was used to it after using Bei Qi as bait.

That's not all, this Shui Lin actually used the excuse that she was the youngest witch and needed to be taken care of to get close to her...

Although I don't know what Shui Lin is plotting, but...

Do you think she's stupid?

She's easy to fool, but not stupid!

Was she, this extraterrestrial demon, too innocent?

Why do I feel like none of the witches in this world are human...?

Maintaining a blank expression, Luo Xi slowly spoke, "You mean, I'll just watch from the sidelines, while you deal with the abnormal phantom, and then give me half of the spoils?"

"That's right," Shui Lin said with an alluring smile, "If you don't refuse, I'll take that as a yes."

Luo Xi didn't say anything, but simply made a gesture of "please" and then sat cross-legged on the road.

She wanted to see what Shui Lin was up to.

Shui Lin smiled, tilted her head, circled around her once, and then slowly walked to the entrance of the restaurant where Bei Qi was.

Luo Xi remained calm, observing Shui Lin's actions and the changes inside the hotel.

Through the glass door, Luo Xi could already see inside the hotel. The dining tables and chairs had begun to twist and swell, transforming into writhing monsters that slowly crawled toward Bei Qi.

"This is one of Sister Wei Ying's magical properties: matter distortion. This anomalous space can indeed replicate everyone's magical properties and then form a trap," Shui Lin's voice came.

Luo Xi listened to Shui Lin's analysis without changing his expression.

She had already analyzed this intelligence.

Moreover, Luo Xi knows more than Shui Lin does; Luo Xi has confirmed that the abnormal space Shui Lin mentioned is the world of consciousness.

Luo Xi continued to observe Shui Lin, only to see Shui Lin staring at Bei Qi, while ice blocks slowly rose from under Bei Qi, and then ice blocks appeared around her one after another.

The writhing monster completely covered Bei Qi, and Shui Lin controlled the ice blocks to form a cage, trapping Bei Qi and the monster together.

Then an unusual fluctuation came from Shui Lin, seemingly a mental attack. Luo Xi saw Bei Qi, who was enveloped by the monster, actually stand up in a twisted manner.

no effect.

A thought popped into Luo Xin's mind.

That's right, Shui Lin's mental attack had no effect.

Luo Xi gave Shui Lin a deep look. She didn't know how many tricks this witch still had up her sleeve, but seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly away, Luo Xi couldn't help but make her move.

Combining consciousness interference with cutting properties, Luo Xi channeled her magic into a beam and attacked the monster.

At the same time, Luo Xi felt a jolt of energy, as if a chill was spreading through her brain. She glanced at Shui Lin, who seemed to have also launched an attack on the monster.

With her and Shui Lin attacking simultaneously, the monster was instantly shredded.

Beki, who was covered by the monster, was also declared dead.

Luo Xi reacted swiftly, activating her consciousness to move, and the two glowing objects were already in her hands.

It is the abnormal core left behind by Bei Qi after her death, and the core left behind by the abnormal phantom!

"Treasures and riches belong to the virtuous," Luo Xi said quietly after glancing at Shui Lin. "Since I've made my move, I'll gladly accept these two demon beast cores."

After saying that, Luo Xi swallowed the two abnormal cores in one gulp.

Shui Lin was no longer the carefree, playful girl she had been at the beginning; she simply gazed silently into the distance.

Clearly, Shui Lin's mind wasn't on her, and she didn't seem to care that she had monopolized two abnormal cores.

"It's bait," Shui Lin's voice came through. "This unusual event is the bait."
