Why Am I a Priestess When I Reach the Maximum Level? - [Vol. 6] Chapter 128

[Vol. 6] Chapter 128: Why Does Everyone Keep Using This Trick?

Although Murong Yun felt confused, neither the recently descended Xiao Kong, who had been staying on Peach Blossom Peak for nearly a thousand years, nor Violet, as an outsider, could provide an accurate answer to this.

However, while they were leisurely chatting, the “sparring” between Miss Hen and Shangguan Yao had already reached a boiling point.

After adapting and figuring out the opponent’s attack patterns, the silver-haired girl didn’t continue to futilely evade and wait for the enemy to tire out. Instead, she began tossing grenades with stunning or control effects toward Shangguan Yao’s position as she moved, trying to force the opponent to be knocked down.

But the young girl from the [Shocking God Sect], who didn’t appear to be very old, was very experienced in combat. She seemed to realize that if one of those strange grenades hit her, the battle would immediately be decided. Not giving Miss Hen any chance, she stuck to the silver-haired girl’s back like glue, moving almost instantly with every flick of the latter’s silver dart.

Every time Hen moved, Shangguan Yao would immediately use her instant teleportation again. The explosions in the air could only hit her afterimages, leaving nothing behind.

However, since the grenades were detonated in the air, this battle made much more noise than the previous one. The thunderous explosions continued to roar into the sky, echoing across the distant hills.

After watching the battle in the air for a while, Murong Yun couldn’t help but frown slightly.

“I didn’t expect Miss Hen to have such extraordinary battle intuition and adaptability. It’s true, one can’t judge a book by its cover… But if this deadlock continues, I’m afraid one of them might lose control, leading to disaster.”

Although the middle-aged man in white was concerned, the Priestess just smiled lightly.

“Don’t worry, Miss Hen won’t be defeated by an opponent like this. After all this time, she’s probably already found her opponent’s most fatal flaw.”

“The winner will be decided soon.”

As expected, after another quick dodge, Hen no longer used the regular grenades to attack futilely. Her silver eyes gleamed for a moment, and as her gaze met Shangguan Yao’s once again, she decisively took out an object from the ring on her finger.

It was a strange metallic object, larger and longer than the previous grenades. Shaped like a cone, it was half the length of her arm. The surface had a pattern of a small devil’s face, which seemed to be laughing, but its purpose was unclear.

“Boom!”

Shangguan Yao’s figure once again turned into nothingness in the air, but the silver-haired girl remained calm. She simply pressed the demon symbol on the surface of the cone-shaped object and lightly tossed it.

At the same time, she closed her eyes.

“What…!”

Not only did Murong Yun’s expression change, his surprised voice slipping out, but even the bystanders below gasped in shock!

It wasn’t hard to understand why they were so surprised. The metallic object Miss Hen had thrown was very close to her, and the weapons she had used before were all large-scale, area-damaging explosives. Was this one…?

The next moment, the cone-shaped object exploded with a deafening roar, and a blinding white light instantly obscured everyone’s vision.

Along with the explosion came an eerie sound that no one could quite understand, followed by a startled shout from a certain girl who was no longer indifferent.

“Flashbang!”

“Ah!!!!”

The blinding light was like a dazzling sunburst in the sky. Except for the Priestess, who had prepared and put on sunglasses, even Murong Yun and Xiao Kong lost their ability to see, crying out in pain.

Of course, the victims also included the [Shocking God Sect] members, a group of confused onlookers, and the leader of the [Shocking God Sect], who had been silently watching from the second-floor window, pretending to be a master.

For a moment, it was chaos everywhere.

“My eyes! My eyes!!!”

“Ah, what’s going on!?”

“…Oh no, quick, help them!”

However, this specially made flashbang, which even Violet needed to prepare for in advance to avoid being affected, was far too strong for ordinary people to withstand head-on.

Except for Violet and Hen, who had closed their eyes early, everyone else present was overwhelmed by the bright light, temporarily stunned or even dizzy.

Three seconds later, the blinding light faded, and Xiao Kong was the first to recover from the temporary blindness. She shook her head, holding her dizzy white cat, Miaomiao, who was also spinning her eyes.

“What in the world was that…?”

The black-haired girl, who had just put her sunglasses back in her bag, glanced at her thoughtfully.

“The control time is almost the same as before. It really is the same thing, isn’t it…?”

After another six or seven seconds, the leader of the [Shocking God Sect], who had his eyes closed and was “in tears,” and Murong Yun both barely regained their senses. The leader of the [Shocking God Sect], remembering something, immediately lost his composed appearance and jumped from the windowsill, rushing toward the chaotic scene below.

Afterward, the [Shocking God Sect] disciples and the bystanders who were affected gradually began to recover. The longest time anyone was disoriented was about half a minute.

“Uh… Little Yao!!”

The chief disciple, Shangguan Hong, who recovered as quickly as Murong Yun, broke free from the crowd, anxiously searching for a familiar figure. His expression turned grim.

However, his greatest worry did not come true. He saw his younger sister, supported by their teacher, walking slowly back to the team, her eyes still closed, and her face showing signs of lingering shock.

Shangguan Hong quickly rushed to meet her.

“Teacher Mu, Little Yao, she…?”

The middle-aged teacher from the [Shocking God Sect], called Mu, shook his head, his face full of helplessness.

“It was Miss Hen who caught Little Yao as she fell from the sky. Otherwise, the child might have been seriously injured.”

He sighed lightly.

“In such a short amount of time, she figured out Little Yao’s weakness, she needs to lock onto her opponent with her sight to track them, and took a targeted strategy. At the same time, she still had the presence of mind to help her enemy. You’ve really run into a tough opponent this time. That silver-haired girl is a true genius.”

“……”

After quickly checking on his sister’s condition and confirming she was fine, only a little shaken and temporarily blinded from the intense white light. Shangguan Hong instructed his companions to take her back for treatment. He then whispered again to Teacher Mu.

“Teacher Mu, what should we do next? Should we change strategies and let me handle it personally? Although I’m confident I can defeat that girl, she looks much younger than me. Even if I win, it will seem unfair, and… she did just save Little Yao. How can I just…?”
