Proving the Dao of Hunyuan from the Age of Witches

Chapter 068 Choice

"I don't think we can handle this anomaly," came the cold voice of the Zero Witch. "My main reason for cooperating with you is to leave this place."

Luo Xi's eyes flickered. Even the Zero Witch, a D-rank witch, wanted to escape from this place?

Then, looking at Wei Ying, Luo Xi asked, "Captain Wei Ying, what do you think?"

Wei Ying's face was still somewhat pale. She glanced at her, Shui Lin, and Le Tong, then bit her lip and said, "I...we need to handle this unusual incident!"

Luo Xi was somewhat surprised. Wei Ying had always seemed to lack her own opinions, but her attitude at this moment was unusually firm.

Although she felt something was strange, Luo Xi didn't show it.

To be honest, Luo Xi was more inclined to follow the advice of the Zero Witch; in any case, leaving this place was the best option.

However, since Wei Ying is a D-rank witch, Luo Xi must respect her opinion; this is a matter of respect for power.

The crack on her forehead was still there, and she didn't know how much fighting power she could still muster.

If she directly opposes Wei Ying, she doesn't know if Wei Ying will take action against her.

She had to consider the worst-case scenario and find ways to deal with it.

"What about Shui Lin?" Luo Xi asked, looking at Shui Lin.

"I agree with Captain Wei Ying's statement." Shui Lin's eyes darted around, a hint of amusement in her eyes.

Luo Xi gave Shui Lin a deep look, then turned to Le Tong, "So, Le Tong, what about you?"

"I...I don't know." Yue Tong abstained from voting.

"I'm also on Captain Wei Ying's side," Luo Xi paused, then spoke directly, "We're a team."

"We still need to deal with the abnormal event. Zero Witch, do you have any ideas?" Luo Xi looked at Zero Witch and asked directly.

"You're really confident. To be honest, I have no idea how to leave or how to deal with unusual events," Zero Witch sneered.

"Are you playing us?" Wei Ying's voice was filled with anger.

"No, no, no," the Zero Witch chuckled again with pleasure, "whether we can leave, or rather, whether we can handle this anomaly, does not depend on us, but on the anomaly itself."

"My magical property is mind control, Luo Xi's is consciousness interference, Wei Ying's is mind communication, and Shui Lin's is mental encouragement. Theoretically, all of these can have an effect on the world of consciousness."

"I can't tear open the world of consciousness by myself, but if we join forces, we might be able to."

"If the abnormal phantom instinctively senses a threat, then after we tear open this world of consciousness, we may be able to return to the real world; otherwise, we will go to a deeper level of the world of consciousness."

"Let's make a bet." The Zero Witch's smile was full of mockery.

Meanwhile, outside Qianhe County, in a temporary command post outside of the unusual event.

"Report: The entity anomaly has been present in Qianhe County for 24 hours. No other issues have been reported so far."

The old man was neatly dressed and exuded an air of authority without being angry; he simply nodded in acknowledgment.

This elderly man is Wei Jianhong, the person in charge of the abnormal events in Qianhe County.

Five years ago, he was in charge of the extermination of a witch, a witch close to D-rank.

That operation came at a heavy price.

Not only did they gain nothing, but the witch's magical properties also triggered an abnormal event, and now is the time for the abnormal event to fully erupt!

Wei Jianhong's gaze seemed to pierce through the mountains, as if he were lost in memories.

After a long while, Wei Jianhong finally came to his senses. His yellowish eyes shot out a cold, sword-like light, pointing directly at the direction of Qianhe County. "A controllable high-level witch, the true zero witch, is about to be born."

……

"Let's stay here." Luo Xi and her group of witches had arrived at the center of Qianhe County.

"Can't we just concentrate our magic into a single point and blast it directly onto the ground?" Luo Xi asked.

"That's right, exactly." Zero Witch nodded.

"Ladies witches, if you're ready, let's begin." Wei Ying extended her hand.

First came Wei Ying's magic, magic with the ability to communicate with consciousness, slowly surging out.

Then, Luo Xi's magic, which was influenced by conscious intervention, and Wei Ying's magic gathered together and slowly merged.

Then, the Zero Witch and Shui Lin each unleashed their magic, magic with the characteristics of mental encouragement and mind control, which converged together.

The magic of the four witches eventually converged into a ball, slowly forming a spherical magical body. Luo Xi controlled her own magic, working with the other three witches to compress this mixed magic.

Just then, Luo Xi suddenly heard a soft click, and her expression changed drastically. She immediately activated her consciousness movement and appeared a hundred miles away in an instant.

The combined magic of the four witches was clearly not a simple addition; the originally stable magic ball suddenly exploded.

The surrounding roads, paths, utility poles, and various buildings seemed to have been struck by an invisible force, and various openings appeared. When Luo Xi saw the openings appear around her, she activated her consciousness walking again, widening the distance by over a hundred meters.

After the explosion subsided, Luo Xi returned to the center of Qianhe County, the place where they gathered their magic.

At this moment, the entire county town seemed to have been struck by countless invisible blades, bursting open with countless cracks.

The cracks vary in size, ranging from tens of centimeters to just a few centimeters. Beneath the cracks, one can see illusory and blurry images.

At the epicenter of the explosion, Yue Tong and the Zero Witch both glared at her with hostility. Luo Xi felt no remorse, but her face showed apology. "I'm sorry, my magic went out of control."

Hearing her apology, Shui Lin didn't care. She just pointed at her face and said, "Luo Xi has too many magical properties. If she uses magic again, her body and consciousness will be completely destroyed."

"Because the magical properties have merged too deeply with Luo Xi, there's no way to extract and transfer those properties to another witch," Wei Ying said quietly.

"I can't restore the imbalance of magic power," Yue Tong shook her head. "The restored magic power properties only give me extremely strong survival ability."

The situation has reached a stalemate.

"Without Luo Xi's consciousness interference magic," Zero Witch looked at the blast marks around them, "we wouldn't be able to handle the anomaly, and we wouldn't even be able to leave this place."

Shui Lin and Wei Ying also shook their heads, "There's no way out. This operation has completely reached a dead end."

"Haven't you heard that there's always a way out?" Luo Xi didn't care. She just looked at the culprit behind her current situation, the Zero Witch, took a step forward, and smiled faintly. "I'll just become a mid-level witch, won't I?"

The Zero Witch raised her head and revealed a brazen smile. "Yes, all I need to do is become an intermediate witch."

As she spoke, the Zero Witch launched an attack on her without warning!
