Chapter 320: Chapter 320 Little Baobao vs Medusa (Part 2) Chapter 320: Chapter 320 Little Baobao vs Medusa (Part 2) “Gahhh!”

The little girl carefully placed her precious lollipop down, and then suddenly pointed at the young woman opposite her, displaying a face full of righteousness and solemnity.

In front of her, the long-haired young woman looked utterly astonished, her eyes rolling with surprise and embarrassment–it was clear that she had never encountered such a confrontation before.

To a third party, the scene appeared more comical than serious. Two high-ranking members of superpower organizations meeting by chance, and then unexpectedly joined by a little girl who had been licking a lollipop just a second ago–it created an almost surreal feeling.

Lady Medusa was momentarily bewildered by this. Then, she saw the seemingly harmless little girl suddenly charge at her like a cannonball, baring her teeth and waving her arms.

Although the little girl flailing in the air looked more adorable than harmful, the sonic boom that resonated in that instant made Lady Medusa decide that it was better to dodge before her own muscles could match the armor of a main battle tank.

Transforming into a human cannon, Little Baobao grazed Lady Medusa’s shoulder as she flew past, then crashed into the vibrantly colored wall behind with a loud bang. The wall, which could have almost won a consolation prize at an abnormal cultural expo with its postmodern art style, was fiercely struck head-on by the little loli, it did not even get a chance to protest before being turned into a demolition site of the Berlin Wall with bricks and cement scattering all around in a cloud of dust.

Just after dodging the little girl’s impact, Lady Medusa leapt forward several meters with lightning speed and, using the momentum, continued to run to a safe distance of over ten meters. Only upon hearing the crashing sound behind her did she turn her head with a twitching corner of her eye, looking back to see nearly half of the wall demolished while being covered in cold sweat.

Was that really a cannonball?

Although the power was exaggerated, wasn’t this chaser a bit too clumsy?

Moreover, could this unassuming little girl be a dual superpower user? Possessing both invisibility and body enhancement, such a combination could become a lethal threat once she grew up.

Thinking this, a strong intent to kill suddenly surfaced in Lady Medusa’s mind. Such a threat must not be left unchecked.

Furthermore, now that she was in this lawless area, she need not hold back any longer.

Just as Lady Medusa resolved to act, the small figure emerging from the dust almost reduced her to tears.

The little girl who had crashed through a wall walked out without a scratch, accompanied by a pale blue energy shield that didn’t even let a speck of dust touch her.

A triple power user…

Has the world gone mad?!

Little Baobao, failing her first attack, pouted sullenly, her face full of grievance. Then she shook her somewhat dizzy head, focused on her target, and charged again.

Although such an attack seemed utterly foolish, the Xyrin Host had no better way to fight. Apart from the natural brute strength body and ghost energy shield of a Xyrin Apostle, there weren’t many sophisticated strategies a Xyrin Host could think of–of course, excluding specialized combat techniques developed by a certain violent little homegirl from games like King of Fighters and Street Fighter, which are not within our consideration.

Ah, also, the above judgment is true only until Little Baobao remembers her own manufacturing capabilities, as the destructive power of a fully operational Xyrin Host cannot be measured by common sense.

After confirming that her opponent possessed a strength far beyond her appearance, Lady Medusa quickly took the battle seriously. Although it was still a straightforward collision which was just as lacking in sophistication and easily avoidable as last time, the cautious woman instantly thought of a different approach, a burst of blue aura suddenly erupted around her. Then, the ground at her feet immediately froze over with a layer of mirror-like thin ice. Lady Medusa slightly stomped her foot on the icy surface, using the slickness of the ice to ghost past the little girl’s cannonball-like strike, then suddenly pressed her right hand on the icy layer.

As if completely disregarding the normal laws of physics, a large ice wall abruptly rose from the icy ground. It was unclear where all the water needed to form these ice blocks had come from. These hard, transparent barriers stacked layer upon layer in front of Little Baobao–a mass of crystal-clear ice. Faced with the sudden obstacle, Little Baobao had just uttered a puzzled “yiyah?” when the shattered ice crashed down and buried her. Lady Medusa knew such an opportunity should not be missed; almost the moment the ice began to collapse, she pressed both hands down on the ground and shouted, “Rapid Freezing!”

The collapsing ice wall suddenly radiated a dazzling blue halo and then solidified into a massive iceberg within a second.

“Thankfully, it’s just a child,” Lady Medusa stood up, her face showing relief. “Although powerful, her combat experience and awareness are truly poor.”

As the white fog created by the rapid drop in temperature slowly dissipated, Lady Medusa saw the state of the little girl she had encased in ice and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

It was the Energy Shield–although Lady Medusa didn’t know which series of Superpower the unseen Energy Shield belonged to, its strength was undeniably impressive. Even after colliding head-on with ten layers of ice harder than steel, it remained intact around the little girl. When “Rapid Freezing” solidified the crushed ice into an entire iceberg, a spherical cavity about a meter in radius was formed inside. At that moment, the peculiar little girl stood within that spherical space, her face showing a clueless expression, while muttering and tapping on the surrounding ice.

She was… so adorable…

Even Lady Medusa couldn’t help but think that, yet she also felt somewhat regretful. Too bad she’s an enemy.

Moreover, training such a small child as a weapon and even sending her on such a dangerous mission, the evil nature of that organization could only be imagined. Surely, under that kind of training, this child’s worldview must have already been disastrously warped?

Indeed, it took Olympus’s grand ideals to save this dark world. And before then, let me…

Having easily resolved the battle, Lady Medusa’s mind started to wander, and she walked towards the ice-encased little girl with a mysterious smile.

Let me end your twisted life…

Inside the man-made iceberg, Little Baobao saw the woman approaching her and waved her hands, mouthing something, then began to “pap pap” slap at the surrounding ice walls.

Unable to hear what the little girl inside was saying due to the barrier, Lady Medusa muttered to herself, “It’s useless. The ice formed by ‘Rapid Freezing’ isn’t like normal ice; its strength could even compare with X alloy… What?!”

Just in front of her, the several-meter-thick, super strong ice layer showed multiple cracks under the seemingly gentle taps from the little girl inside!

Her strength was that immense!?

“Rapid Freezing!” Lady Medusa shouted, pressing her hands on the ice wall that was continuously cracking. A brighter blue light than before swept over the already scarred ice layer, making the entire iceberg even more durable and crystal clear than before. However, although she had intensified the ice’s strength again, Lady Medusa changed her initial plan. Seeing that the little girl’s strength was greater than imagined, she absolutely couldn’t let her escape from the ice before her people arrived.

It was also fortunate that this place was deserted; otherwise, it might really have been troublesome.

Lady Medusa placed one hand on the outer surface of the ice, continuously strengthening the iceberg’s solidity with her Superpower while beginning to contact her subordinates. Capturing such a powerful and young Superpower User alive would definitely be a great accomplishment–but one thing still worried her. She didn’t know how long the oxygen in the spherical space could last. Would she have to open an oxygen passage in the iceberg later? Keeping a little tank-like Monster Strength Lolita inside was indeed too dangerous.

Meanwhile, Little Baobao, trapped again, seemed somewhat dazed, possibly still not understanding why the ice that had just cracked around her had instantly restored itself. The little girl paused, then lowered her head and started rubbing her hands together.

Lady Medusa naturally saw this scene and couldn’t help but wonder: Feeling cold now?

Little Baobao rubbed her hands together for a few seconds, then, with a “ding,” a shiny silver cylinder over half a meter long suddenly appeared in her hands. After testing the weight of the object for a bit, Little Baobao’s face revealed a satisfied smile. She then hoisted the cylinder onto her shoulder and aimed it at Medusa outside the ice wall.

Meanwhile, the latter was still frozen in a state of shock, her only moving pair of eyes occasionally focusing on the bright, white light ball that was gathering on the cylinder…

“BOOM!!!”

The deafening explosion echoed through several blocks. The frames of old, dilapidated windows rattled under the force of the shockwave. Even though it was a long-abandoned unfinished building area, there were still many homeless people gathered around. When the explosion sound erupted, out from the corners of broken walls came shadows swiftly moving, a skin disease sufferer with pus-filled hands vaulted over a brick wall with great elegance–an indication that before committing to the life of a vagrant, he hadn’t spared the road barriers. A disabled man, legs wrapped in yellowing bandages, moved as quick as the wind amongst the forest of old steel bars leaping and ducking, running with an Olympic style comparable only slightly less to Liu Xiang, just missing a hurdle vest. The most interesting were two men in long underwear with pale faces who looked perfectly able but contrasted sharply amidst the chaotic dance of the “disabled people,” just chatting about trivial matters from their times as the Jade Emperor–it turned out they were the real disabled folks left in this area, just a couple of fools.

A great swarm of people escaped from the corners of the unfinished building area, resembling a gathering of the Beggar Gang from afar, which showed that a substantial part of the funds for filming “The Eight Trigrams” had genuinely been wasted.

“Big Bro, what’s happened this time?”

While running, a homeless person suddenly looked up and asked the homeless person ahead of him.

“Who should I ask if you’re asking me?” retorted the other homeless man while running and adjusting the makeshift bandages draped around him. “Damn, all the tomato juice I just applied has gone to waste. I wonder who went inside that collapsing building to scavenge, now his brains are probably splattered…”

Just then, another loud blast resonated behind them. Everyone realized this time that it was no sound of collapsing building–it was an explosion!

And the sound of the explosion was moving towards them!

“Damn, it’s a gang rivalry! Run!”

Not sure who shouted first, then within the next fifteen seconds, the entire area of dilapidated buildings had finally gone quiet.

Medusa felt like she was indeed the most unfortunate person in the world right now.

Back in the city, everything was fine with her being the underground ruler, but lately, things had taken a downturn–especially now when even Little Dingdang, no, not a robotic cat but a little girl who could conjure various bizarre items at will, had shown up…

“Rapid Freezing Impact!”

Medusa yelled, then a flash of icy-blue light flickered beneath her feet, and immediately thin layers of ice on the ground shot forth a series of sharp ice spears towards the little girl struggling to hold and fire a large cannon, ahem, little girl. Following the consecutive whooshing sounds, Medusa didn’t stop but stomped heavily, and the mirror-like ice layer suddenly began to ripple like water waves.

“Rapid Freezing!”

Shouting her moves during a fight was definitely a foolish act, and as a high-ranking member of Olympus, Medusa was far from foolish. The most cunning part about her was that every time she shouted a move, it was random, and the actual move she used was also random…

Two random factors freely matching, yet Little Baobao still took them seriously every time. This naive little girl really suffered a big loss…

The dual freezing attacks once again successfully hit the target, and Medusa secretly rejoiced: luckily kids are easy to deceive, or it would have really become troublesome…

However, the effect of such an attack left Medusa wanting to cry but unable to tears. The little girl who had been in front of her had vanished without a trace, replaced by an anti-riot shield that, though crooked and bent, looked ridiculously sturdy. The face of the shield bore a Crayon Shin-chan logo, vividly expressing its creator’s sheer contempt towards someone who might use it as a human-form ice shaver.

With a “swoosh,” the poorly designed but shockingly heavy anti-riot shield was thrown single-handedly by Monster Strength Lolita. Medusa had barely dodged it when she noticed that the little girl was now holding something resembling a rocket engine. The latter positioned this odd “rocket engine” on the ground and then carefully stood on top of it. Finally, pointing forward, she excitedly made a “charge” gesture.

“No way…”, Medusa lamented, then saw a fierce white light flame blast out from the rear of the rocket engine, shooting sideways.

As for Little Baobao standing on it — you guys know the principle of inertia, right? There’s an experiment where you place a tablecloth on a table, set some beer bottles on it, and swiftly pull the tablecloth away, leaving the bottles unmoved.

Hey, speaking of bottles, I remember my sister had a bottle of perfume that I destroyed like that, cough cough. Anyway, you probably can guess what state Little Baobao is in now?

Suddenly, the engine under her surged sky-high, and Little Baobao took a hard tumble, only to be frozen by Medusa into a big ice block again.

Although she succeeded in her attack due to her opponent’s derailment, Medusa felt no joy, for inside that ice block, that fierce and mysterious Little Loli was calmly assembling a rocket launcher…

If possible, Medusa truly did not want to fight anymore. Continuing like this, she felt she would be driven mad by such bizarre antics!

What kind of creature is this indestructible, freeze-proof girl who acts like Doraemon anyway? Who did I offend? Why do I keep encountering all these abnormalities in the world!

Medusa internally cried out in despair but could only choose to temporarily evade, which was the only solace she felt at the moment: though her opponent was strong and had a myriad of chaotic attack methods emerging one after another, clearly, the little girl wasn’t very smart. In combat, her rate of error was even higher than her rate of success by more than a percentage point.

If it weren’t for the fact that Medusa’s freezing power had virtually no effect on Little Baobao, a non-organic life form, the fight probably wouldn’t have lasted this long.

Just then, the sound of a motorcycle engine growing louder from a distance invigorated Medusa.

Reinforcements had arrived!

Sure enough, about ten seconds later, more than ten small motorcycles with strange designs and impressive speeds turned out from behind buildings in all directions and quickly converged towards them.

A Body-Enhanced Superpower User took the lead, leaping straight from his motorcycle, landing by Medusa’s side before anyone else.

“Lady Medusa, is this the enemy you mentioned?”

Spiderman — oh, the Body-Enhanced Superpower User came to his leader’s side and then looked in astonishment at the little girl not far away, calmly installing various bizarre parts on a rocket launcher while encased in a block of ice. His expression showed that this Tarzan-looking big man couldn’t comprehend what kind of battle could have led to such a weird scene.

“A rocket launcher should not be able to break Lady Medusa’s layer of ice. She’s going to blow herself up.”

“At first, I thought so too…” Medusa gave a wry smile, then suddenly pushed her subordinate aside, “Get down!”

“Boom!”

Little Baobao’s attack, unsurprisingly, went awry again, and then, the battle — or rather, the farce — continued to unfold…(To be continued, for further details, please visit www.NovelFire.net, more chapters available, support the author, support genuine reading!)
