Chapter 478 - 478: Mu Qing vs The Chimera

Translator: CinderTL

Several minutes later, the two-headed demon opened its eyes.

After twitching its nose twice, its gaze suddenly locked onto the black shadow hovering in the air, its eyes immediately showing a fawning expression.

"Put on your gear, kill her, and then you'll get the food you want!" the black shadow said, pointing toward Mu Qing in the distance.

The two-headed demon's eyes briefly glazed over, as if pondering the meaning behind the words.

After a full minute of silence, the two-headed demon finally snapped out of its trance. It strode over to the weapons crate and began to equip itself.

The armory's equipment was custom-made for the two-headed demon, fitting perfectly.

This spirit energy gear was the pinnacle of the Technology Research Institute's Spirit Energy Technology, its creation requiring resources sufficient to arm a small legion—far surpassing the spirit energy weapons wielded by the City Defense Soldiers.

Once fully equipped, the two-headed demon transformed.

It now wore battle armor etched with spirit energy runes, wielded a blood-red battle axe, and sported golden lion-headed helmets on each of its two heads. Intense spirit energy radiated from its body.

Even standing motionless, the demon's spirit energy pressure stirred the air into a faint wind that swept outward.

"Go. Kill her, and you can devour her afterward," the black shadow instructed.

The two-headed demon nodded vigorously, then launched itself into the air, leaping directly westward.

Soaring across dozens of meters, the demon crashed heavily to the ground, its impact instantly sinking the earth beneath its feet.

Crouching slightly to gather momentum, it sprang upward again.

Propelled by these rapid leaps, the two-headed demon swiftly closed in on the battlefield.

At that moment, Mu Qing was leading the dawn warriors in a charge. Had she not been assisting her comrades, she could have single-handedly breached the City Defense Force's defenses and stormed the Technology Research Institute's base.

After smashing a heavy armored vehicle with a single punch, Mu Qing was about to advance when her gaze suddenly shifted to a spot in the distance.

There, a two-headed giant with scarlet eyes was staring intently at her.

As their eyes met, Mu Qing felt an overwhelming surge of murderous intent.

In that instant, the two-headed demon leaped into the air, descending toward her position. Its crimson battle axe blazed with brilliant light as it swung down like a divine weapon forged in the heavens.

Facing the demon's ferocious assault, Mu Qing didn't flinch. She simply raised her right fist and punched upward.

Boom!

The moment her fist collided with the crimson battle axe, the ground within a hundred-meter radius cratered inward. Cracks spiderwebbed across the earth, while the surging spirit energy pressure sent nearby armored vehicles flying.

As their strength locked in a stalemate, the two-headed demon grinned savagely, its grip tightening on the axe.

But its smile soon vanished.

Mu Qing slowly lifted the crimson battle axe, then examined it with curious eyes, as if wondering why it had two heads.

Roar!

With a furious roar, the energy core embedded in the spirit energy battle axe began to spin rapidly. The two-headed demon's muscles tensed, and its power surged exponentially.

It aimed to cleave Mu Qing in two with a single, momentum-driven axe strike.

But Mu Qing's fist sank only an inch before meeting the full force of the two-headed demon's crushing power.

The flowing jade light shimmering across her body erupted into a dazzling radiance.

As her left fist shot out, dense cracks spiderwebbed through the air, as if even space itself couldn't withstand the pressure of her power.

Boom!

When her fist struck the two-headed demon's abdomen, a terrifying force exploded outward. The spirit energy runes etched into its battle armor buckled under the impact.

The demon was hurled backward like a cannonball, skidding across the ground in a tumbling arc. It crashed through multiple figures before slamming into an armored vehicle, embedding half its body into the wreckage.

Under normal circumstances, any creature struck by Mu Qing's fist would have been vaporized instantly.

Yet the two-headed demon merely shook its heads a few times before rising angrily to its feet.

The spirit energy runes embedded in its abdomen detached from the armor. Countless symbols swirled around the injured area, and the dented battle armor miraculously began to self-repair.

Simultaneously, the demon's formidable regenerative abilities kicked in.

The bruising on its abdomen rapidly healed, restoring it to peak condition in the blink of an eye.

The two-headed demon glared at Mu Qing, letting out a menacing war cry as it raised its weapon high, brandishing it as if to provoke her.

Mu Qing responded instantly.

A blur flashed across the battlefield as she closed the distance to the demon in the blink of an eye.

Crouching low to gather momentum, she swung her right arm in a wide arc, striking the demon's abdomen with tremendous force. The demon's feet left the ground as its massive body was sent hurtling into the air.

Mu Qing channeled power through her legs, leaping upward with explosive force. She delivered another devastating punch, this time targeting the demon's spine.

A sonic boom echoed through the air as the two-headed demon howled in agony after absorbing the consecutive blows.

Yet it endured Mu Qing's relentless assault.

Twisting mid-air, the demon locked its gaze on Mu Qing as she landed.

Spirit Energy Formation patterns materialized before it, rapidly completing their intricate designs and erupting in brilliant light.

The two-headed demon's genetic makeup incorporated the genes of numerous races naturally attuned to spiritual energy, making art magic combat one of its strengths.

Unlike the cumbersome art magic techniques of human cultivation studies, the demon could complete formation patterns with a mere thought.

Heaven and earth spiritual energy converged upon the Spirit Energy Formation.

Countless spirit energy symbols drifted from the formation, swirling around the two-headed demon.

As the two-headed demon plummeted, the glowing, twisting runes on its body multiplied rapidly.

Empowered by these spirit energy symbols, the demon's body began to swell, radiating a divine light.

Facing the two-headed demon descending from above, Mu Qing clearly had no intention of prolonging the engagement.

She slowly crouched, gathering momentum.

The flowing jade light swirling around her body accelerated its rotation, sending out concentric jade-colored ripples.

A terrifying pressure emanated from her, and the scarlet runes embedded in her arms flashed in response.

"Hah!" With a sharp exhale, Mu Qing suddenly threw a punch.

Her fist collided with the blood-red giant axe hurtling toward her.

The instantaneous pressure erupted into a gale-force wind, blinding the Star City Warriors and City Defense Soldiers still locked in combat nearby.

Jade-colored arcs of electricity crackled across Mu Qing's fist.

Her terrifying power surged relentlessly. Even with the enhancement from the spirit energy runes, the two-headed demon couldn't match her strength.

The collision of spirit energy and jade-colored light sent shockwaves rippling outward.

The ground trembled violently under the force of their clash.

Finally, the two-headed demon buckled first. It was hurled backward over a hundred meters, crashing into a skyscraper.

Mu Qing's eyes glowed with a scarlet light, her primal ferocity ignited. The flowing jade light swirling around her had transformed into crackling arcs of electricity.

Crouching slightly, she vanished from her spot, reappearing instantly before the fallen two-headed demon.

Her right arm, wreathed in jade-colored lightning, descended like a mountain-splitting battle axe, carrying terrifying momentum.

When her fist struck the demon's skull, the resulting shockwave instantly shattered the entire skyscraper. Debris rained down like a storm, but before it could reach Mu Qing, the jade-colored arcs of electricity around her pulverized it into glittering dust that scattered into the air.

Yet the two-headed demon refused to yield.

It struggled to retaliate, but its efforts were futile against Mu Qing's relentless assault.

This weapon of the future, with its limitless potential, was utterly crushed before Mu Qing, who had just begun to unleash the power of the Great Demon King of History.
