Teleporting to Shanghai, they immediately put their guard up and scanned the city. Looking towards the Shanghai Pearl tower, Shiro could see a crystal floating above the city as mystic energy pulsed out like the one in Manila.

Understanding that the Queen was probably weakened like Aisha, it was a good chance to deal them a heavy blow but this time she was going to keep her guard up even more than last time as she had accidentally allowed Aisha to feed her one of the parasites. Thankfully, she wasn't at full strength otherwise the outcome could have been bad.

Before they could even talk about what they should do, they felt a surge of mana erupt out from the far end of the city as a giant explosion appeared in the distance.

With a column of smoke acting as their beacon, both Shiro and Nan Tian looked at one another before nodding their heads.

Flying towards the smoke in the distance, they could sense three mana signals fighting right now as one of them was quite familiar to Nan Tian as it belonged to Li Jian who owned the sect. As for the two others, he didn't recognise them but they had the same feeling as the other Queens which meant that they were currently fighting and his adoptive father was helping out one of them.

As for Shiro, she only widened her eyes in shock.

Activating her lightning divine raiment, she didn't say anything and flew as fast as she could.

*BANG!!!!

Slamming his fist against the young woman's body, Li Jian had a flaming red aura around him as illusionary golden armour protected his body. With a giant spear in his hand, pierced towards her chest.

Unfortunately for him, his opponent wasn't going to be hit easily as her body split apart into a swarm of fireflies.

Furrowing his brows, he jumped back as a rhythmic sound of swords being unsheathed could be heard.

Suddenly, a blanket of swords descended from the skies as all of the fireflies were eradicated.

Landing next to Li Jian, an elven woman with golden hair and a battle dress could be seen with a cold expression.

Runic swords floated around her as they would change forms with each passing season. Each sword that was displayed was different from the last as it seemed like she had an infinite armour of sorts.

"Have you figured out her powers yet?" Isilia asked as Li Jian shook his head.

"Not yet. Her power as a Queen covers quite a wide variety and I haven't been able to see past her disguise just yet. If I knew her title as a Queen, it'll be much easier." Li Jian replied with a frown as Isilia clicked her tongue.

"Just keep trying then." Slamming her hands down in front of her, a tier 6 magic circle erupted out as a cage appeared around the enemy queen.

Small silver portals appeared as swords shot towards the woman who was trapped in a wave.

Waving her hand, several centipedes appeared and wrapped around her, blocking the strikes which left faint white scratch marks.

Seeing this, most would think that she's probably the queen of insects or something similar but Isilia knew better since she had demonstrated powers of other monsters not just insects. If anything, it was stranger to see her use bestial powers as they were almost on the level of the Beast Queen.

The enemy queen wore a long-sleeved dress, some stockings and boots. Her sleeves were extremely long as it reached her knees.

Her dress was coloured with light green, pink and blue. Each time she swiped with her sleeves, a different power seemed to be used as it made her extremely hard to deal with.

Tracing her finger across the surface of her blade, Isilia allowed her sword to draw some blood as the silver blade was dyed a blood red with a single drop.

Flicking it to the side, her body disappeared and reappeared next to the queen.

A web of sword lights appeared as she slashed towards the back of the queen but her reaction was the same as ever.

A single smirk before turning around and allowing the sword to slash her body.

Breaking apart into what seemed to be slime pieces, she reassembled herself and kicked towards Isilia's stomach.

Parrying it with her sword, Isilia watched as Li Jian stabbed towards the Queen once more as she grabbed his spear and pulled him closer to her which surprised him as anyone who had touched his spear before had their hands shredded apart.

Feeling danger, he quickly jumped back and abandoned his spear as bones erupted out of her and broke the spear apart. Had he stayed, he would have sustained heavy injuries.

Reaching into his inventory, Li Jian pulled out two great swords instead as he cleaved towards her.

*BANG!!!

Forcing the queen to take a few steps back, he combined the two greatswords together before stabbing it down.

A tier 6 magic circle erupted out in the sky as a giant golden sword slammed down into the queen's body.

*CRASH

Slamming against the pavement of the city, she flipped her body back to avoid Isilia's strikes as there were chains connected to the pommel of her blade.

Throwing it towards the queen, Isilia made a seal with her hands as runes like up and split the blades into different copies.

With hundreds of swords now swarming around her with chains trailing the swords, the enemy queen knew that there was a good chance for her to be restricted.

Creating a tier 6 magic circle in front of her, the enemy queen pushed her hand through the spell as a scaled dragon head could be seen in the place of her hand.

Cracking its mouth open, a radiant fireball shot towards Isilia as she didn't falter.

Stomping down, trees started to grow and enveloped the fireball in an instant, restraining the blast from affecting the city.

But while she was doing this, the dragon head had already consumed quite a few of her blades as the chains were snapped apart and an exit was formed.

Dashing out, the enemy queen raised her hand as the dragon head was dismissed. In its place was a silver sword which seemed to pulse to the rhythm of a heartbeat.

Slashing in the air in front of her, the dimension seemed to split apart as several pairs of eyes lit up.

Ripping the portal apart, an undead dragon reared its head out of the split as a tier 7 magic circle appeared around its mouth.

'Not good!' Isilia widened her eyes as she recognised this skill. It was a large scale extinction-level spell which would eradicate a large area of space to nothingness should it activate.

Summoning a black and red Odachi sword, a murderous aura erupted out of her as she cleaved upwards with the giant blade.

*BOOM!!!!

As if god had just erased a single line in the world, the undead dragon and the magic circle split into two halves as Isilia coughed up a mouthful of blood and stored the blade away.

Using this chance, Li Jian activated one of his skills as his illusionary armour was upgraded. Previously, it could be described as normal armour but now it was akin to heavenly armour which caused one to feel fear with a single glance.

Forming a fist with his right hand, Li Jian dashed towards the queen and punched towards her.

The space seemed to collapse as the light around her distorted.

*BANG!!!

Punching her through the body, Li Jian only gritted his teeth since he realised that his skill did nothing.

Quickly jumping back, he avoided her counter attack.

Just as he stepped back, a portal opened up beside him and a jiggered blade threatened to cut his head off.

Bending to the side, he kicked the blade away as a wave of sword light cut one of the skyscr.a.p.ers into two halves.

Turning his attention back to the enemy queen, he saw a second tier 7 magic circle being formed as he felt the touch of death coming ever so close.

Suddenly, the sky darkened as clouds gathered in the sky.

Pushing the clouds aside, tens of orbital cannons descended as each of them were filled with ten's of tier 6 magic circles.

*BOOM!!!

Firing towards the enemy Queen, each of the blasts were enhanced with Celestial path as the tier 7 magic circle was shattered apart with ease.

Flickering next to Isilia, Shiro glanced down at her best friend who should have died a long time ago.

Holding back her tears, Shiro turned away from her and looked at the queen who still stood unphased in the sky.

"You better explain what happened later." Shiro said as Isilia smiled softly.

"Of course. Same old tactic?" She chuckled.

"Same old tactic." Shiro nodded her head with a smile as mana erupted out of them.
