Chapter 378: Tokisaki Kurumi

"Go, Golden of the Lion!" Seeing the true form of the Demon Beast appear, Xiao Gucheng gripped his right hand, and the Golden of the Lion emerged from the Void.

However, due to the warning from Xiao Lingcai earlier, Xiao Gucheng did not let his familiar rush up to forcibly bombard the Demon Beast; instead, he released terrifying Thunder from a distance, blasting it toward the direction of the Demon Beast.

With a "Boom," the golden lightning instantly pierced through the heavens and earth. The Demon Beast let out a shrill roar, and then turned into nothingness amidst the lightning.

"Did it succeed?" Xiao Gucheng panted heavily and said.

Launching a bombardment of this intensity from a long distance was still quite a heavy burden for the current Xiao Gucheng.

"Hum—" The figure of the Demon Beast suddenly emerged from the Void again, and then lunged toward the Golden of the Lion in the sky.

"Careful, Gucheng-kun!" Seeing this scene, Xiao Lingcai could not help but be greatly shocked.

Xiao Gucheng's heart skipped a beat, but it was already too late to recall his familiar at this moment.

"Get back!" Lingyun's figure suddenly appeared in front of the Golden of the Lion, his right fist flickering with starlight, and he slammed a heavy punch onto the head of the Demon Beast. "Star Fist!"

As Lingyun's punch landed on the head of the Demon Beast, a terrifying shockwave erupted instantly, forming a whirlwind.

"Whoa!" Caught off guard, Xiao Gucheng let out a strange cry, and his entire body was blown away.

"Who could withstand an attack like that?" The corners of Nangong Nayue's eyes could not help but twitch.

"Crack, crack," under Lingyun's punch, the body of the Demon Beast twisted instantly, and countless cracks spread from its head toward its body, covering its entire form. Having suffered a heavy blow, the Demon Beast did not even have time to let out a roar before it disintegrated into light spots filling the sky.

"Teacher, this guy?" Xiao Gucheng looked at the Demon Beast that had appeared in the sky once again with a solemn expression, his face very grave.

"If I am not mistaken, this guy's tail should be coiled around the magic hub of Itogami Island; it is drawing the magic power of Itogami Island to fight us," Lingyun said slowly.

"Lingyun, this battle must end very quickly. Right now, the entire Itogami Island has lost its magic power and could disintegrate at any moment!" Nangong Nayue said.

"But its tail is coiled around the Dragon Vein through spiritual power paths to absorb magic power. In a sense, this is absolutely untouchable and indestructible. Trying to cut it off is almost impossible!" Xiao Lingcai said with some difficulty.

"Who says it can't be cut off?" Lingyun stretched out his hand, and a Long sword slowly condensed in his hand. "You block its attacks, leave the rest to me!"

The Long sword that appeared in Lingyun's hand immediately made the Demon Beast smell the crisis of death. It instantly spat out countless blue-white Light Balls from its mouth, blasting toward Lingyun's direction.

"I say, are you not taking us seriously at all!" Luo Yexi waved the Long sword in her hand, and countless Nine Yang Sword Qi blasted toward the direction of the Light Balls.

"Boom, boom, boom—" The sky was instantly filled with exploding Fireballs.

Golden light rose in Lingyun's eyes, and the flow trajectory of the Demon Beast's magic power was clearly presented in his eyes.

"Void Slash!" Lingyun's figure flashed and appeared at the base of the Demon Beast's tail. The Long sword in his hand instantly pierced through the Void, stabbing out while wrapped in terrifying power.

The Long sword scattered countless points of starlight, not only severing the Void but also destroying the magic power circulation nodes on the Demon Beast's tail.

"Snap—," that tail which Xiao Lingcai called impossible to cut was directly severed into two pieces under this sword strike from Lingyun.

The Demon Beast whose tail had been severed let out a painful roar, and the blue-white Light Balls in its mouth were spat out frantically, actually forcing back Luo Yexi and the others for a moment. Afterward, this Demon Beast immediately broke away from the battle and flew toward the sky. At the same time, its figure actually began to fade slowly.

"Oh no, it's going to run!" Seeing this scene, Xiao Lingcai's expression changed slightly; this was a sign that the Demon Beast was about to travel through time and space.

"Ara ara, if it runs away just like that, Lingyun will be very troubled, you know!" Just at this moment, a voice inserted itself into the battle, and at the same time, an inexplicable power spread out within Nangong Nayue's Space Domain.

"This, this is, the power of time?" Feeling the time-space Technique on her body actually fluctuating, Xiao Lingcai could not help but have her expression change slightly.

"Who are you?" Nangong Nayue looked at the girl emerging from the shadow on the ground with a solemn expression.

The girl had long black hair tied into two braids, hanging gracefully over her shoulders. Her slender limbs made one feel as if they would break with the slightest force. A waterfall-like fringe covered the left half of her astonishingly beautiful face, while on the other side, she left a crimson, deep-as-a-black-hole right eye, and lips as delicate as cherry blossom petals. The clothes on her body were a blood-red gothic lolita black lace-trimmed long dress, and on her head, she wore a gothic lolita maid-style headband. In her hands, she held two Flintlocks, one long and one short.

"Ara, Lingyun, do you need my help?" The girl stared at Lingyun and said with a giggle.

"If you can help, that would certainly be the best!" Lingyun's figure appeared in front of the girl. "But how should I address you now, Lingqi, or Tokisaki Kurumi?"

"Either is fine!" Tokisaki Kurumi tilted her head and said with a smile.

"This person is very dangerous!" This was Nangong Nayue's first impression of her.

"Now is not the time to be discussing this, is it!" Xiao Gucheng looked at the increasingly fading Demon Beast and could not help but retort.

"Rest assured, it cannot escape!" Tokisaki Kurumi said with a smile. A continuous stream of Time Power merged into Nangong Nayue's Space Domain, and the powers of time and space intertwined, causing this domain to form a brand-new time-space domain.

The two powers of space and time acted on the Demon Beast simultaneously. The Demon Beast let out a roar, and its figure, which had been gradually fading, actually began to solidify once again.

"It actually interfered with time-space travel?" Xiao Lingcai said with some astonishment.

"Lingyun, now is a great opportunity to eliminate it!" Tokisaki Kurumi said to Lingyun.

"Get down! Golden of the Lion!" Xiao Gucheng waved his hand violently, and a massive bolt of lightning blasted down from the sky, striking down the Demon Beast that was flying toward the high altitude.

"Shadow of Destruction!" The Destruction Scythe in Liuli's hand instantly swept out countless black shadows, completely destroying the wings of the Demon Beast.

"Three Phantom Gods!" Lingyun gave a deep shout. "Destructive Strike!"

The Three Phantom Gods let out a roar. The Sky Dragon coiled around the left arm of the Giant God Soldier, and the Winged Dragon of Ra landed on the right arm of the Giant God Soldier. The Giant God Soldier threw both fists out, slamming heavily onto the Demon Beast.

Terrifying power poured out, and the figure of the Demon Beast shattered inch by inch under this massive power, finally turning into fragments and disappearing. Because there was no magic power from the Itogami Island Dragon Vein to support it, this Demon Beast could never be resurrected again.

As the Demon Beast disappeared, the magic power of Itogami Island was no longer being plundered, and the signs of collapse also vanished. This crisis of collapse could be considered to have passed.
