Chapter 446: Phantom Thief——Xuan Ying
Chapter 446: Phantom Thief——Xuan Ying
"This is impossible! How did she do it?" Everyone was stunned for a moment. Taiken almost dropped his jaw. Even Yuheng was confused about the situation.
"Since long-range attacks are ineffective, let's send out flying elves to attack at close range!"
Under Taiken's command, his brothers immediately changed their minds. More than a dozen toucans charged towards the woman. Their sharp beaks were very sharp as weapons.
However, the woman was still leisurely. She took off her hat and fiddled with it outside. Then something shocking happened again. For the first time ever, a group of toucans actually crawled into her hat.
The next second, the toucan came out of the hat again. This time, not only the human, but even the toucan was stunned.
"Damn, she cheated! This is unscientific!" Taiken was extremely angry. He firmly believed that there must be some unknown mechanism in this woman's hat, otherwise how could the elf pass through!
"You guys have had enough fun, now it's my turn..." said the woman humorously. She put on her hat and opened her hands to the left and right, and conjured up a deck of cards. Then, as if she was performing a gorgeous magic trick, the cards began to fly back and forth between her left and right hands in a perfect arc, changing constantly with the swing of her hands.
However, the next second, the woman blinked her eyes, and suddenly exerted force with her right hand. More than ten playing cards were instantly ejected, hitting all the toucans at high speed like bullets.
"Ga--" More than a dozen toucans screamed in unison and fell from mid-air at the same time, hitting the ground, all of them dizzy and losing their ability to fight.
"Boss, this guy seems very powerful. Why don't we retreat first? It's not advisable to linger in a fight. As long as the green mountains remain, there will be firewood to burn!" One of Taiken's younger brothers suggested tremblingly.
After these words were spoken, the morale of the army was broken and many people were already retreating.
"Why are you panicking? This is just a trick to attract attention!" Taiken was very angry. He didn't want to escape from the battlefield. He had lost enough face today.
As the Toucan was defeated, the woman also jumped and landed on the ground easily, but she was soon surrounded.
"I can't do anything to you in the air, and now you dare to run to the ground and fall into my trap. Don't blame me for being rude." Taiken said viciously.
"Do it all!"
"In a battle, the more people there are, the better." The woman spread her hands and said jokingly. She remained calm and there was no trace of panic on her face under the mask.
In an instant, a group of elves including Rhydon, Poison Moth, Queen Bee, Ice Guardian, and Platypus came out in droves. There were as many as 80 of them, making the scene a little crowded and the situation more and more chaotic. All the fighting power of Taiken and his group was here.
"Come on, all of you, catch her. I don't believe she can hide this time!" Taiken clenched his fists.
Then, more than 30 people rushed towards the woman one after another, which was quite scary.
"It's so noisy..." The woman took off her hat again and threw it away with her right hand.
The next second, something seemed to jump out of the hat, and white electric light appeared and ran everywhere. After a crackling sound of electricity, the attacking elves screamed one after another, and then fainted on the ground.
"Zizi-"
The attack was extremely fast, and the suddenly released electricity continued to advance by leaps and bounds, just like a dragonfly skimming the water, and soon, half of the 80 elves fell to the ground, with corpses lying all over the ground.
On the other side, Yuheng had already dealt with his opponent. He was staring at the changes in the center of the battlefield, ready to go up and help at any time. It was at this moment that he saw the thing emerging from the hat.
"This, this is a white cat! What kind of elf is it?" The boy saw it for the first time.
"You're too slow," the woman sneered.
Facing these people who kept rushing towards her, she was able to handle them alone with ease. She took out a turbid purple bead from her hat - a smoke bead, and threw it straight out. The marble hit the first person's head, and then after several ricochets, it hit several more people in succession, and finally exploded in the crowd.
Dark purple smoke spread, blurring the vision and making it impossible to tell north from south. Some of the people rushing forward bumped into nearby trees and cried out in pain.
"Don't even think about escaping!" The few younger brothers who led the charge rushed out of the fog first and started fighting with fists and kicks.
The woman easily made these people run around in circles. She threw her hat into the air in advance, first dodged the incoming fist to the right, jumped up on tiptoe, just avoiding the sweeping kick from the left, and then kicked two people in the chin with a 180o arc, and then turned 2 degrees, gracefully completing this difficult move, which shows her body flexibility.
"It's not over yet!" The six men spread their arms and sprinted side by side, using their momentum to overwhelm the target. They wanted to force the target into a desperate situation.
The woman used her cane to knock down these guys with a slight swing of force, and then used the fallen people as stepping stones. She jumped up, flipped in the air, and moved flexibly, throwing the playing cards one by one at the targets on the ground. After catching the hat that was thrown into the air in advance, a black iron ball fell out of it and rolled towards the oncoming crowd.
"Oh, it hurts so much!" The people who were hit collapsed on the ground and howled. More than 30 people were killed in just ten seconds.
"I remember that the smoke ball is an escape prop, and the black iron ball is a combat prop..." Yu Heng, who was watching the battle on the side, complained. He suddenly felt that no matter what came out of the hat, it didn't seem surprising.
"A bunch of useless things, no one should retreat!" Taiken roared.
"Shut up..." The woman gave a provocative smile and waved her cane to create a bat again.
"Mmmmm..." Taiken was about to say something, but his mouth was blocked by a group of bats, and he was obviously silenced.
This move was not very harmful but extremely insulting, and Taiken had no choice but to awkwardly pry the bat out of his mouth.
"It's so amazing that Taiken even has his mouth covered." Yu Heng couldn't help but sigh. It was obvious that this battle had nothing to do with him anymore.
"It's almost over." The woman said leisurely, as if she had everything under control.
I just feel like she's so pretentious... Yuheng couldn't help but complain crazily in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
All this seemed like a performance to the woman, and her every move was so casual.
"Damn it, don't look down on us!" Taiken tried hard to push the bat away. He realized that he and his brothers had never been taken seriously from the beginning to the end, and naturally he couldn't swallow this.
Unfortunately, almost all of his men were defeated, lying on the ground covered in wounds and wailing.
"Who is she?" someone asked fearfully.
At this moment, one of the younger brothers finally recognized the woman's identity. "I vaguely saw this outfit once on TV news. She seems to be the Phantom Thief - Xuan Ying..."

(Why haven’t I updated for so long? One reason is that I’m stuck in writing, and the other is that at the end of the May Day holiday, I went to the hospital for a checkup and had a minor surgery. I’ll have to go for a follow-up checkup and another minor surgery next week, so the update time is unstable and I’ll have to stop updating for a while.)
