Chapter 353 Lan Qing

The white night did not move. Immediately, the blade at the tip of the umbrella pierced through Bai Ye’s body.

Large arcs of electricity appeared, entering an elementalized state, and the opponent's weapon passed straight through.

Bai Ye glanced at the opponent, a petite woman wearing a small dress, holding a black umbrella, with a doll-like face and thick foundation makeup, making her age indistinguishable.

At the same time…

The woman's face showed a hint of surprise. How could her weapon have passed through the opponent's body?

Physical attack immunity?

This was a bit of a cheat!

As the woman pondered, she leaped back repeatedly, then reached out forward and said, "Rose Thorns!"

As the woman made a gesture forward, a circle of red magic runes suddenly appeared, with obscure magical text emerging.

Then…

Two thorny vines shot out from the magic circle and swept towards Bai Ye.

"Magic?"

Bai Ye dodged. This kind of thing was not effective against elementalization.

With more use, Bai Ye understood the elementalization of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit even better. Now, he no longer needed to be hit a couple of times to know if elementalization was effective; he could make a certain degree of judgment.

First, pure physical attacks were completely ineffective against elementalization, which was identical to spiritual bodies.

Second, elemental attacks, such as fire, frost, or even lightning, could not be immune, and elemental attacks of the same type meant mutual interaction, with certain elemental resistances.

Third, materialized weapons, elementalization could not be immune.

Fourth, concretized weapons, elementalization could be immune.

Fifth, there were occasionally some inexplicable situations that didn't quite fit.

Currently, Bai Ye was in the third situation. Although the thorny vines looked solid, they were not real objects but were created by magic. Therefore, even if Bai Ye elementalized and transformed into lightning, he could not evade the attack.

It was worth mentioning another situation. Weapons condensed by Steel Slime were not materialized weapons but concretized weapons, which were ineffective against Bai Ye and could not hit him.

Rumble!

At the same time…

As Bai Ye dodged, the two thorny vines struck the coffee table in the living room, instantly smashing it to pieces.

Missing the attack, the woman shifted her stance, waved the black umbrella in her hand, and the thorny vines swept towards Bai Ye again.

And…

"Frost Magic Bullet!"

The woman raised her left hand, and silver-white radiance appeared in the air.

The radiance quickly formed lines, creating a magic circle.

A large area of silver-white frost mist suddenly appeared around them, the air in the room plummeted, and it instantly became cold.

From the center of the magic runes, three magic bullets condensed from frost shot out towards Bai Ye.

Thorny vines to block, frost magic bullets to attack…

Bai Ye raised an eyebrow. This woman's combat skills were good; she was experienced.

However…

It was useless!

Sizzle!

Large arcs of electricity surged from Bai Ye's body, and Bai Ye transformed into a bolt of lightning, charging forward.

Crack, crack!

As the lightning rushed through, the incoming frost magic bullets instantly shattered, turning into ice shards that scattered.

The lightning arcs acted like knives, and the two thorny vines were also quickly cut.

Seeing this, the woman quickly opened the umbrella in her hand.

Rumble!

The electricity hit the surface of the umbrella, and the immense impact sent the woman flying backward, crashing into the wall, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

But…

She blocked it!

Scattered lightning arcs condensed, and Bai Ye reappeared.

Bai Ye tilted his head and looked at the woman before him. Was she a ghoul investigator?

To be precise, she should not be a native but a chosen one.

She could use magic, and the umbrella in her hand was clearly different from a ghoul investigator's quinque. It should be a weapon, or armor? Or perhaps it served as both a weapon and armor.

Bai Ye pondered, and black mud-like liquid appeared on his face, condensing into the bio-mask of the Predator.

Biological scan initiated…

Biological scan completed…

Lan Qing (Chosen One) (Injured): Chosen One from the world of witchcraft civilization.

Strength: 121

Speed: 130

Stamina: 117

Spirit: 121

Intelligence: 10

Weakness Search: ??

"Ah ha!"

She was indeed a chosen one!

Moreover, judging by her physical attributes alone, this woman named Lan Qing was not weak. Although she was far inferior to Bai Ye, in terms of the "average" standard, Lan Qing's physical attributes were definitely first-class.

However, Bai Ye couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

It was understandable that the ghoul investigators were after him, but why would a chosen one cause trouble for him?

He had been very well-behaved this time, doing nothing.

As Bai Ye was thinking, Lan Qing raised her umbrella again. The tip of the umbrella suddenly split open, and then the umbrella sprayed flames at Bai Ye.

Bai Ye looked up.

Fire, huh?

No problem, go ahead!

Bai Ye walked directly into the flames, ignoring the scorching heat, and approached Lan Qing.

Bai Ye possessed the Phoenix ability. The mythical phoenix was born from fire, so being enveloped in flames was like taking a hot spring bath for Bai Ye.

Passing through the flames, Bai Ye placed his hand on Lan Qing's umbrella.

"Fire…" Bai Ye sneered, "should be used like this!"

Phoenix flames overflowed from Bai Ye's palm, and then…

Flame Explosion!

Rumble!

A deafening roar erupted, and the Phoenix flames in Bai Ye's hand suddenly exploded, a massive fireball detonating between them.

The immense force of the blast sent Lan Qing flying backward. Swept by the air current, Lan Qing crashed into the wall.

With a crash.

Countless fine cracks appeared on the wall, which then collapsed with a rumble. Lan Qing also fell onto the corridor.

The corridor was already a mess.

Fire alarms blared incessantly, sensors flashed, and sprinklers continuously sprayed water.

At the same time, a large amount of smoke filled the corridor.

There was a smell of burning, the black smoke from the explosion.

Besides that, Bai Ye also smelled gas, unsure if it had leaked due to the explosion or if someone had used a gas bomb.

Lan Qing lay on the ground, clutching her chest. Bai Ye's two attacks had already injured her significantly, making Lan Qing realize she had encountered a tough opponent.

Her current concern was not how to defeat Bai Ye but how to survive.

Just then, Bai Ye stepped over the shattered wall and entered the corridor.

Lan Qing gritted her teeth. She suddenly saw two figures appearing at the corner of the corridor and immediately shouted, "He's over here, help!"
