Chapter 253: You Have Magic, I Have Technology

  In the dark purple demonic aura, the three repaired Dark Assassins were summoned once again, rushing towards Chen Xiaoyu with overwhelming momentum.

  D Long pointed at Xiaoyu and issued the command: “Capture her and take back the talisman!”

  Facing the rushing Dark Assassins, Chen Xiaoyu remained calm, steadily aiming and calmly pulling the trigger.

  Boom—

  A blinding light, even brighter in the daylight, the incredibly powerful railgun obliterated the Dark Assassins, sending them back without any resistance. The demonic bodies, built of magic, were destroyed cleanly and thoroughly.

  The Dark Assassins were defeated in less than three seconds, leaving D Long's eyes wide open in disbelief, his gaze fixed on the gun in Chen Xiaoyu's hands, his momentum noticeably weakened.

  “What kind of magic is this?"

  Apart from the attack on the Saint Warrior, he had never seen such powerful magic.

  "Lu Su's portable railgun, efficient, clean, and non-toxic, with great power but a short range of only fifty meters. This is the second generation, abbreviated as L-21."

  Chen Xiaoyu coolly spun the gun around twice, elegantly blowing the muzzle, like a gunslinger in a Western movie who had just finished a showdown.

  You have magic, I have technology!

  This is the crystallization of human wisdom!

  She felt somewhat smug, but seeing D Long retreating a few steps, no longer facing her head-on.

  "Let's temporarily retreat, Dark Aura Brother."

  He glanced back and saw the demonic Xiao Long, grabbing his shoulder and waving his wand, disappearing on the spot, leaving only a slowly dissipating mist behind.

  A bit late, Chen Xiaoyu patted her head in annoyance.

  "Shit! I should have shot his head."

  ...

  In the luxurious top suite of the commercial building, which had been renovated to be extremely lavish.

  The transparent glass walls provided excellent lighting, with the golden and jade objects casually discarded as decorations, the sunlight reflecting off them, creating a mottled effect of light and shadow, as if the entire room was filled with the vulgar and unbearable sound of money.

  Wearing only a light summer dress, the small snake stood alone by the floor-to-ceiling window, her elegant figure half-mirrored in the glass, her face flushed red as she gazed at the scene below.

  "Lu, you... bastard."

  She muttered under her breath, and behind her, where there was originally no one, a well-built male figure appeared, like a reef after the tide receded, standing there.

  Lu Xie spread his palm, the snake-patterned talisman appearing in his palm.

  "Tsk... the experiment failed again."

  He sighed regretfully, casually slapping the small snake's buttocks, pressing his hand on her waist, sinking it lower, adding force and speed.

  ...

  After everything was over, the small snake lay limp against Lu Ke's body, looking at the snake talisman with astonishment in her eyes.

  "Even now, I still find it hard to believe that there are really such magical things like talismans in the world, so the demons you mentioned before that were locked in hell are real?"

  "I always tell the truth."

  Lu Xie adjusted his clothes after morning practice, the small snake put on the pants, tidying up her appearance in the mirror.

  "If you want the snake talisman, I can give it to you."

  The snake talisman could only achieve visual invisibility, which was considered the least impressive of all talismans, and was very easy to research, even recorded in magic books, but not as convenient as the talisman. After studying the talisman, he couldn't think of any practical use for it, only trying to upgrade it, such as eliminating existence or even ignoring some minor functions during the invisibility process.

  As a girlfriend, the small snake naturally didn't want to take on the test work, but the experimental results were not very satisfactory.

  Currently, the improvement of magic still had a long way to go.

  "Really, can you give it to me?"

  The small snake was a bit moved, the visual invisibility of the snake talisman was not very useful for Lu Ke, but for ordinary people, it was still a rare treasure, and for thieves, it was even more attractive.

  Although she now had a well-oiled boyfriend, she no longer needed to be a thief, but she still couldn't help feeling moved by the snake talisman.

  "Let me keep it for you, but I can't give it to you completely, at least not now. The talisman is one of the twelve origins of the Holy Lord, and it will have its uses in the future."

  The small snake asked with curiosity, "Holy Lord?"

  Lu Xie smiled softly, "One of the eight ancient ruling demons of the world, the Fire Demon, and he wasn't like the other demons who were locked in hell, wasting away their strength and wisdom."

  "If it wasn't for the current Saint Warrior Luo Pei sealing him into a statue and dispersing his powers into twelve talismans around the world, he would still be quite powerful."

"Statue..."

  The little snake recalled, then suddenly looked at Lu Xie, "The talking statue you used as a stepping stone in the hall is the Holy Lord?"

  This woman speaks with some class!

  Using the Fire Demon as a stepping stone, that's what I call grandeur.

  Lu Xie chuckled and casually tossed the snake talisman to the little snake.

  "It's ten o'clock, I need to check on the progress of my work. You rest well."

  Closing the door, Lu Xie went to the hall and instructed the Ninja Soldiers to gather his subordinates to report on the latest progress.

  Due to the talisman tracker being sat on and broken, the efficiency of collecting talismans was slightly lower than before. However, with Lu Xie's description, the Black Hand members successfully found the Dragon Talisman and the Monkey Talisman.

  Now, excluding the Chicken, Ox, and Tiger talismans still in District 13, only the Rat Talisman and the Sheep Talisman remained among the twelve talismans, and they had yet to discover their whereabouts.

  "Please rest assured, we will bring back the remaining two talismans soon."

  Turo, who had been nervous about accidentally breaking the tracker, volunteered.

  "You go find the Sheep Talisman, I'll personally retrieve the Rat Talisman."

  Lu Xie dismissed his subordinates, stretched, and walked out into the sunlight, which was somewhat blinding.

  "Staying at home all the time isn't good. It's time to get some exercise."

  Once Lu Xie's aura completely disappeared from the range of perception, the Holy Lord, who had been thrown on the floor like trash and covered in shoe prints, had his eyes flash with red light, his emotions fluctuating.

  Seeing Lu Xie about to collect all the talismans, yet unable to embed them into his own body, and his long-cherished King Rooster Treasure being squandered, even though it was a mere fraction of the total, the Holy Lord still felt extremely distressed.

  Several Ninja Soldiers emerged from the floor, some of them cleaning the Holy Lord and others helping to rehang him on the wall. Once done, the Ninja Soldiers were immediately sent back.

  The Holy Lord still retained a trace of the Mask's power, allowing him to command the Ninja Soldiers when Lu Xie, the new Shadow Emperor, was not using them.

  However, the number of Ninja Soldiers in the Shadow Army was fixed, and they were the souls of the battalion of ninjas ruled by Tara in life. If Lu Xie noticed any were missing, he would inevitably suffer. It was only because Lu Xie didn't care much about the Mask's power that he could secretly use it, and even then, he dared not use it too much.

  It's too unfair!

  He, the Holy Lord, was living in such humiliation!

  "I need to find a way to turn the tide."

  Sealed as he was, he could not escape Lu Xie's control. The Shadow Army would only obey him if it did not betray Lu Xie, and he could not order the Shadow Army to help him escape. As the power of the Mask within him weakened, his commands would become weaker unless replenished.

  Seeing no hope, the Holy Lord's mind flashed with various dark allies, trying to find support.

  First, he thought of his seven ancient demonic siblings, but he had betrayed them, and his credibility with them was too low. Moreover, the ancient demons were imprisoned in hell and could not come out, so even if he managed to convince them, they would provide little help.

  Then, he considered various evil factions.

  The Black Hand? Lu Xie's treatment was ten times better than what they originally had, and Walong and the others had been completely turned. If they weren't all men, they would probably be willing to offer themselves to show their loyalty.

  The Mirror God? These guys were quite powerful, but they were also sealed like him. Their ability to manifest inner fears and their terrifying spread rate might be useful if he could find a way to break the seal.

  The Dark Gas Wizards... those little things were too weak to help him. Perhaps a leader-level figure might be useful, and he remembered that the current leader of the Dark Gas Wizards was called D Long.

  The Holy Lord's mind raced with one plan after another, only to be discarded one by one. Based on his observations, Lu Xie was a ruthless person, and if he betrayed him and was caught, the best outcome would be being shattered and his soul sent back to hell.

  Or, perhaps he could accumulate strength and create a descendant?

  Just as he was thinking, a familiar demonic aura appeared before him, and dragon teeth were scattered in front of him.

  A creature resembling a lizard, with a hint of dragon aura but lacking any of the majesty of a dragon, appeared before him, looking at the Holy Lord with excitement.

  "Father, I've come to save you!"

  Holy Lord: "..."

  Where did this mongrel come from, and why is it so ugly!
