"Are you afraid?" Qingpin asked calmly when she saw the change in Rena Takasaka's expression.
Rena Takasaka was indeed afraid. Due to the disappearance of the previous wind blade, she was already prepared for it. She focused all her attention on controlling the twenty-four tornadoes, especially the one that attacked Qingpin earlier.
Rena Takasaka focused more than 60% of her attention on it. She was afraid that Qingpin would use some strange method to make her tornadoes disappear, just like the wind blade earlier.
However, the thing that he was worried about happened again. The four tornadoes disappeared without any warning.
Even the mental power that Reina Takasaka had attached to the tornado to control the wind element in the tornado had disappeared. It felt as if her arm had been crushed on a molecular level.
It was one thing for her arm to be crushed, but what was more frightening was that Rena Takasaka had no idea how or what destroyed her arm. That was the scariest thing.
"Forget it! Let's attack together!"
Rena Takasaka's face was ashen. Under her command, the remaining twenty tornadoes swept toward Qingpin at the same time.
Twenty tornadoes attacking at the same time. Putting aside the attack power, just the might of the attack alone was enough to scare a bunch of people to death.
In the face of such an attack, Qingpin's expression did not change at all.
"Trash is trash. No matter how many there are, it's still trash!"
The poor girl mocked without any trace of politeness. She slightly spat out her red lips, and another three petals fell from the white lotus and were burned into ashes. The remaining twenty tornadoes disappeared without a trace, just like the previous four tornadoes.
"Pfft …" Rena Takasaka spat out a mouthful of blood. It was worth noting that Rena Takasaka's blood was not red. Instead, it was transparent with a hint of green.
The color of her blood proved once again that Rena Takasaka was not human, but a genuine Yuan Kou.
Losing the twenty-four tornadoes and the mental power that was attached to them was no different from being hit by a car.
This greatly injured Takasaka Rena's body, but at the same time, it also allowed Takasaka Rena to figure out how to make her tornado disappear.
"It's those petals!
It's those petals, right? "
Rena Takasaka stared at Qingpin and questioned. "Your petals can cut off my control over the wind element. That must be it!"
Based on what happened earlier, Rena Takasaka guessed that the white lotus formed by the twenty leaves was the reason why her skill disappeared. The first time, it was one, the second, two, and the third time, it was three. Every time the petals were incinerated, her skill would disappear, and she would lose contact with it.
There was no need to deduce the cause and effect relationship in this matter. The root of all the problems was on this white lotus.
There was no mistake about it.
Faced with Rena Takasaka's question, Qingpin did not say a word. Her expression was cold as usual, as if she did not hear what Rena Takasaka said.
"Qingpin, what do you think of this move of mine?" Rena Takasaka panted. Her body trembled, and another twenty-four tornadoes rose from the ground.
But this time, Rena Takasaka did not choose to surround Qingpin with the tornadoes like before. Instead, she fused all the tornadoes together.
The twenty-four tornadoes began to approach the other tornadoes. Suddenly, one of the tornadoes tore open its eye and swallowed the other tornadoes into its body, forming an even larger tornado.
Following that, the larger tornado opened its mouth again and again. Within ten seconds, it had swallowed all the other tornadoes into its body, and the twenty-four tornadoes fused together to form a powerful tornado.
Although the twenty-four tornadoes had fused together, the size of the tornado did not change at all. It still looked like a tornado.
"Think about it. If twenty-four tornadoes fused together without any change in size, then its power and density must have undergone a great change. Compared to the previous twenty-four tornadoes, this tornado, be it in terms of speed or density, is dozens or even hundreds of times more powerful than the previous tornadoes. As this tornado spun, the space around it was torn apart. We can see spatial cracks being torn in space. To be able to tear apart space with pure speed is a terrifying power. Just this tornado alone shows that Rena Takasaka's strength has surpassed the Nether rank Yuan Kou, reaching the standard of the Meteor rank Yuan Kou.
To be able to tear apart space with pure speed … This is one of the criteria that separates the Nether rank from the Meteor rank.
"Qing Pin, can you withstand my Tornado of Annihilation?"
Rena Takasaka laughed bitterly and spat out more than ten mouthfuls of blood. This Tornado of Annihilation was already at the level of a forbidden spell. With her current strength, she was still unable to control such a powerful technique. She had to expend her life force to use it.
However, Rena Takasaka's technique was valuable. At the very least, when the young girl Qing Pin saw the Tornado of Annihilation flying towards her, she frowned for the first time … but it was only a slight frown.
"Intercept!"
It was another 'intercept', but this time, a total of ten petals fell from the white lotus and were burned to ashes. On the other hand, the astonishing tornado also turned into nothingness, just like before.
"Haha!
I get it, I get it now! "
Seeing that her ultimate move, which she had worked so hard to prepare, was rendered useless once more, not only did Rena Takasaka not feel dejected, she even smiled. "Destroying my skill requires the number of petals of your white lotus flower. The stronger my skill is, the more petals it will consume. Am I right, poor?"
"Yes."
She originally thought that she wouldn't receive a response from Seiji just like before, but she didn't expect that Reina Takasaka would actually reply with a yes … This suddenly made Reina Takasaka feel like thanking God for his grace.
"But what can you do?" Qing Pin retorted, her tone filled with disdain.
"What can I do?
Come, Qing Pin, take a look at this. "
Rena Takasaka stretched out her hand and opened her palm. A tiny black ball the size of a longan floated above her palm.
Moreover, the volume of this small ball was still slowly changing, gradually becoming larger.
"Qing Pin, do you know what the limit of air and wind control is?" Rena Takasaka laughed bitterly and spat out more mouthfuls of blood.
"I don't know, and there's no need for me to know!" Qing Pin replied coldly.
"Haha, then let me tell you. The limit of wind control is the absence of wind."
Rena Takasaka clenched her teeth. The black ball floating above her palm had already grown to the size of a ping pong ball. "Wind is the flow of air. As long as there is air, there will be wind.
In a calm space, as long as there is air, there will be the flow of wind.
To surpass the limit of wind is to make the wind disappear. In order to make the wind disappear, you must make the air disappear as well. This is the so-called vacuum. "
Reina Takasaka was kind enough to explain the effects of her skills to him.
"Finish."
Rena Takasaka tossed the black ball in her hand to Poverty Ken's side. Then, the black ball exploded, or rather, it sucked in all the air in the surroundings.
With Rena Takasaka at the center, the black ball sucked in the air at a speed that surpassed its limits. The speed was so fast that the surrounding air could not catch up to the speed of the black ball's absorption.
As a result, a vacuum was formed in a small space in an instant. This small space rapidly expanded, and soon, Qing Pin was also enveloped in it.
"Nonsense!
Vacuum has no effect on the swordmaiden! "Qing Pin said coldly as she looked at the expanding vacuum that was about to envelop her.
She had no intention of using the petals of the white lotus to get rid of the vacuum. Just as Qing Pin had said, vacuum was meaningless to the swordmaiden. The space within the scabbard and the dimensional space was a vacuum without any air. As a swordmaiden who did not need to breathe, vacuum had almost no effect on her.
"Haha, of course it doesn't matter to you, Qing Pin. But don't forget that you still have your beloved Guhan behind you!"
Hearing Rena Takasaka's proud words, Qing Pin's expression finally changed. With a flick of her hand, the remaining petals of the white lotus in the sky fell to the ground in an attempt to get rid of the vacuum.
However, only four of the twenty petals of the white lotus were left. The remaining four petals could only stop the vacuum from expanding for four seconds. Four seconds later, the vacuum had completely swallowed Qing Pin and Guhan.
Seeing that the vacuum had completely swallowed Guhan and Qing Pin, Rena Takasaka could no longer suppress the boiling blood in her body. Like a fountain, Rena Takasaka spat out half of her body's volume of blood.
"I used up more than half of the wind elemental energy in my body to cast this skill. It's more than ten times more exhausting than the Apocalyptic Tornado. Qing Pin, you only have four petals left. How can you possibly get rid of my vacuum?"
Rena Takasaka, who was extremely weak, collapsed to the ground and muttered to herself, "It's true that the vacuum can't kill the poor, but it's enough to kill Gu Han. In ten seconds, Gu Han, who's already injured, will have his blood sucked dry by the vacuum and die.
As long as Guhan is dead, the masterless Qing Pin will turn back into a sword! "
"Qing Pin, Qing Pin, just what kind of swordmaiden are you? If not for Guhan, I'm afraid I'll be the one dying today!"
To be on the safe side, Rena Takasaka maintained the vacuum sphere for a full two minutes before it finally dissipated.
