Free Web NovelChapter 229: Chapter 33: The Terrifying Shen Shuyue
Though his body was already displaying the spell, he still possessed such words of certainty. The seal could only be used by him, this girl needed to be defeated.
It wasn’t about killing her without her dying; it was killing, this had already been proven by history... After being used as a transfer vessel by the iron craftsman, she was finally moved elsewhere.
Shen Shuyue was just weak at that moment, in reality, she was on the verge of becoming evil.
It was none other than Shen Shuyue’s fragmented body; since Shen Shuyue’s crazy manner of division as granule forms had rendered her useless, she had been relegated to defense in the entire Fourth Level fortress.
...Even the iron craftsmen and traders were driven to use another kind of legendary force, he still remembered that battlefield to this day.
However, during this process, he had created an unkillable creature.
He certainly thought about making this beautiful body his own, to be owned for eternity, though he had never seen such beauty before.
Because of Shen Shuyue, there was that one time, branded color of the head from the experience of only once, where men had drooled over her for seven hundred years.
He was too aware of how fearful this woman could be, yet he did not have any words to say, Chuqing remained silent.
"Although you must have some understanding of what I’ve done in the past, vecause of the years that have passed, I’ve nearly forgotten. But you have come here after all", Chuqing said.
Shen Shuyue, looking at Chuqing, had no hint of crimson malice in her eyes.
Because of these eyes, Little Bai was quite displeased, as they couldn’t make the white mist disappear.
These eyes were rather vexing, Shen Shuyue gave a cold look but didn’t answer this question.
Why hasn’t Well Six appeared?
And why haven’t we seen the evil mirror, when we’ve only glimpsed it in the mining cave? Indeed, Little Bai was quite curious about this question, much like Shen Shuyue’s own reasons.
"Why would you meet him for any reason?"
Chuqing was also facing a great enemy.
Shen Shuyue looked at Chuqing surrounded by layers of the dark black fissure, with a disdainful glint in her eye.
"Hehehe... Shouldn’t you, a person of high stature, be the master here? Coming to see me, this place really hasn’t been visited for some years, it seems you are quite afraid of me," she teased.
Her gaze fell on Chuqing after sweeping over the crowd. She did not care at all about Chuqing’s divided body; Shen Shuyue only had eyes for him.
Every person felt the presence of a deathly fighting aura, and the Fifth Level became even more crowded to the point of obstruction.
Liu Muyan’s watchful eyes, always ready for immediate battle, were the only mission of his; he was the one who would charge towards the warriors convening at Level Five.
He revealed a grave expression, as if he currently faced a "dark army" monster.
But it was Nie Chongshan who had just gained the upper hand, although it seemed like an unexpected strike.
The tide of battle had already undergone a sudden transformation; from thirteen to just six, and just like Chuqing’s solitary throw today, Shen Shuyue had been divided into thirteen bodies; a precaution, allowing the mass of people to suppress the situation.
But then the beauty emanating a hint of evil from her body wasn’t prepared for "evil"; she was permeated with a quintessentially sinister aura, and Lin Haigu gave no thought to that woman stepping into the limelight.
Although every division of her was extremely powerful, it was rare to see Chuqing split his body. Lin Haigu, transformed into the nine-headed snake, locked his gaze on Chuqing.
Forty-two black-armored knights came to a halt.
They were discussing whether Jiuyan and Liu Cangling would make it, or perhaps Little Bai and the others, including Qin Lin and Jiang Yimi, as the barrier seemed impenetrable.
Since Chuqing still had Chu Qing on his side, there was no certainty he would summon anyone again, because if the face mask could only be used once, it would undoubtedly call for everyone.
This didn’t seem strange to Little Bai at all.
Little Bai didn’t know what Shen Shuyue was about to do; he suddenly felt as though he had exposed some significant matter, as if his gaze had been locked upon, only feeling that someone was summoning him, his own intuition telling him so.
Jiang Yimi quickly denied this thought; deep down, he still firmly believed that his uncle must have his reasons, although it was only a smooth journey, or perhaps a recognition of these people.
It was hard to tell whether they were all yearning for the presence of his "flushed-faced uncle" after seven hundred years, or if they could sense his reasons... ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Jiang Yimi thought that all these people were somehow summoned through some sort of call from his uncle.
Most especially because of Shen Shuyue, who was too beautiful in reality; to be more precise, Jiang Yimi, Zi Luolan, and Shen Shuyue, they all couldn’t wait to meet her.
Shen Shuyue, how come you don’t seem to care at all?
Nie Chongshan felt an even stronger sensation when he arrived at the mine, compared to the previous time he went up.
But this girl with tear stains on her beautiful face was indeed the true wanderer controlling all of this, even though she was less formidable than the red-dressed little girl with a vengeful aura, who was incredibly strong.
Nie Chongshan also revealed a serious expression as he looked at Shen Shuyue.
Definitely, Shen Shuyue and Sharp Forest were the two strongest figures in this crowd, and he had summoned them here for a reason.
...Somehow, he felt the chains of restraint, as if someone, previously unknown in the realm of starry skies, was experiencing the white fog’s sensation—but what if it wasnt so?
Shen Shuyue certainly was not the same.
Purple Luo didn’t have a moment to rush upwards, although her face was full of excitement, wielding an electric saw oddly in the gale. Despite appearing very strong within the mansion, she was actually quite weak here.
Shen Shuyue still had some superficial dealings with Purple Luo, among the many he had summoned to the white fog gathering.
Shen Shuyue.
This woman was a paradox, combining peril with beauty.
Lin Haigu must have felt compelled to praise this woman’s beauty in front of his eyes, especially since she made time-traveling wanderers like himself seem insignificant.
He was aware of his fitting strength and speed. No one dared to call themselves the first at the Fifth Level, he wanted to be recognized as the second, and he had a sense of this.
He would not just face her once; there were other formidable enemies to encounter.
Although Lin Haigu had lived for seven hundred years, and had occasionally woken up to time travel, randomly passing through time, he was not necessarily following the regular timeline, with three hundred more years to experience.
Would he not see himself again, after that particular gathering?
What had he done within these seven hundred years?
...Lin Haigu was truly wonderfully strange, seemingly having undergone many extraordinary incarnations in his previous lives, though his experiences were even more strange.
"...Ah, this is the true essence of an indestructible entity... it seems one can only make use of time-space techniques to move it..."
Upon realizing she had severely underestimated the danger of this woman, Lin Haigu began to simulate in his mind how he should engage Shen Shuyue in battle.
Lin Haigu’s true face twisted into an "O" of surprise, altering the arch of his eyebrow.
No matter how hard he advanced on Shen Shuyue, it was meaningless; even if he attempted to strike Shen Shuyue, Chu Qing’s cries of agony never ceased.
But in reality, this beautiful woman possessed the strength and speed of a ninth-stage variation, far greater than what was visible on the surface.
Chu Qing began to tear and bite into her, disintegrating every part of her body.
Shen Shuyue was already bound and entrapped by Chu Qing, and not even a single breath was out of place, let alone one question—the thirteen divisions within her were growing ever stronger, an infinite addition.
Each Chu Qing was being "embraced from the left and hugged from the right" by multiple Shen Shuyues, acting very much like the real Shen Shuyue.
Next to Shen Shuyue, Chu Qing’s split seemed just like a shoddy imitation, a crude counterfeit of an exquisite, flawless gem-like artifact, facing the genuine article.
Yet, this provoked laughter, which should have been pleasing to the ear, made the entire hall feel a sense of creeping dread.
"Oh, I’ve come up with an idea, little chestnut; I’d really like you to serve me, embraced on all sides. Now that I’ve met someone who can finally do it, oh, think about me... who called you, come to me, do you still remember?"
The field of splitting was growing, and with it, the number of Shen Shuyues—there were nearly fifty-four, and her splitting was not slowing down, ultimately giving rise to Chu Qing’s most dreaded scene.
"You can’t help but think of me as your relative, my lord, am I not lovely? Ah, you can’t keep up with my steps."
It was like scattering beans into soldiers, as torn pieces of flesh and blood clashed in the air, mutually tearing into the fresh... Shen Shuyues.
The feelings of chill down one’s spine immediately followed with the new Shen Shuyues being formed, as those strands of her hair, parting from the back of her body, twisted like iron wire worms—Shen Shuyue with just two swings of her sword, cut several strands of hair.
But what was even more shocking was the second swing; with the first just severing an arm, the second swing incisively cut away part of herself, and every step Purple Luo took, Chu Qing grew more fearful.
Purple Luo’s eyes widened with delight at this changed sister, becoming the perfect new mother for herself, whereas Little Bai would ideally become the new father.
"Master, you’re shivering, is it too cold? Shall I give you some warmth with my human skin? Or... hehe, haven’t you always wanted to do something like this?"
"With a flirtatious demeanor, Asuka studied Shen Shuyue with interest, but she did not respond," freeweɓnøvel.com
"only a light shake of her head in a white mist."
"Sharp Forest always felt some kind of dangerous potential in this power, that white mist always seemed so unsettling,"
"this was the first time even he and Well had witnessed such an ability, not to mention Liu with his evening ties to Fifth Level."
"This ’regenerative body’ Shen Shuyue was watching too closely, too quickly."
"Slowly, a part of her body began to regenerate from a certain spot, much like the crazy growth in the fourth-layer water crystal, her severed arm began wildly regenerating."
"Asuka, Nie Chongshan, and Chu Qing all knew of Shen Shuyue’s transformation ability, but at this moment, faced with her replicating cellular division, it was as if Asuka had only unlimited regeneration after being beaten. "
"Stop her, quick! Stop her now, or you’ll regret it!" Asuka yelled loudly.
"If Shen Shuyue was left to divide, it would only result in the complete destruction of this place; Shen Shuyue had already become exponentially stronger than before, over the past three years."
"Shock and horror were all Asuka could feel at the time. The fight that was approaching its final moments was something no one could have imagined."
"The first thing Shen Shuyue did with her own hands was to cut off one arm, holding a long sword."
"Jiuyan looked towards Little Bai, gave a nod, and Little Bai, holding the weapon Shen Shuyue had thrown away."
"Although the blade still easily cut through iron like mud, after a hundred and twenty-five swings, its most valuable life-preserving ability had completely disappeared."
"Simulated original sin weapon."
"Hey, can you lend me that sword?"
"Little Bai only felt that Jiuyan’s grip on the sword was not wrong, even though she did not recognize Jiuyan, Shen Shuyue struggled to prop herself up looking towards Jiuyan."
"Allowing me here would be a great way to handle this event."
Shen Shuyue smiled and said,
Little Bai nodded her head, confirming Bai’s words.
"Did you summon me here to kill him, is that it?"
Shen Shuyue asked.
Her purplish-blue eyes changed, and she bit her own lips fiercely, as if pressing down her anger in her expression.
"Father?"
Asuka’s strength was already formidable, but Shen Shuyue, despite never having seen such a depraved form of Asuka, was able to capture a whiff of his presence for a brief moment with her significantly heightened sensory abilities.
Shen Shuyue thought that devouring her father’s regenerative body non-stop would somehow push back the identical form in her, just like Zi Xue’s similar charge into Fifth Level.
"Don’t you dare touch my father! Get away, all of you, get away!"
However, at this moment, Zi Xue’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Zi Xue was eagerly powering up her electric saw in hand, but at the same time, she revealed a smile at seeing how Asuka’s physical strength was rapidly dwindling.
Her eyes flowed with tears, standing shock-stricken at her original spot; upon seeing a familiar figure once more, she inadvertently entered Fifth Level.
Chesnut’s eyes were red-rimmed, laughter familiar echoed with the air around her.
With every scene that unfolded, her past memories seemed to be displayed, as if this aura was a key that could unlock her recollections.
The more she approached Fifth Level, the more familiar the aura felt, prompting Chestnut to start running towards Fifth Level.
Chesnut dashed towards Fifth Level without hesitation, determined to save her father, now that Fifth Level was within reach.
In the blink of an eye, the miraculous truth was revealed to Chestnut—Zi Xue watching her filled with a rage that also contained a thread of fear.
"Aren’t you part of that group? Are you still alive? Why did they all die? Why are you still alive?"
The road before her was pregnant with a lethal intent, and she suddenly became aware of something coming straight for her through the snow.
She had no idea what was happening on the surface, feeling a profound sense of disquiet and terror, as if something evil was descending upon her...something she hadn’t felt in a long time.
It was as if all the miracles that had come before were about to be destroyed, but her fear was greater still; in this world without miracles, she doubted even the existence of miracles she once believed in.
Day after day of degradation and humiliation had eroded her once fierce spirit, her courage, her self-respect. Life in this hellish prison seemed interminably long, yet the three years of her sentence passed in the blink of an eye.
Of everyone, Chu Qing was the strongest; she had already transformed into a level nine mutated form. Sharp Forest had always been afraid to look at the Fifth Level’s battlefield.
The Fourth Level’s fortress...
...
Little Bai and Yín Shuāng began to move forward to the Fifth Level.
"Go!"
She could only create the mysterious tower records outside the mist, which bore a white fog. However, Yín Shuāng somehow understood intuition without direct evidence, and felt a strong grasp.
What brought the white fog was undoubtedly reinforcements, though Yín Shuāng couldn’t explain why, considering the white fog symbolized reinforcements but not the presence of a vanguard.
...those vibes from the top level stood for raging anger, enticing people to respond.
She had already guessed that the person who mentioned the white fog before must be the connector, but Yín Shuāng offered no explanation.
"Isn’t it the vanguard, then what is the white fog for?"
"The white fog has brought reinforcements... Let’s go see."
Yín Shuāng said, as Yín Shuāng and Merchant Little Bai faced each other.
She began running toward the Fifth Level at her fastest speed.
It was difficult for Merchant Little Bai and Yín Shuāng, but ultimately, she had no trouble.
At the fringe, anger that seemed like the wrathful flames of hell appeared in Zhōng Xù’s eyes, filled with fresh blood in an instant.
"I will kill you all, you invaders who deserve death! You intruders!"
This scene of uncontrollable anger seemed to gnaw at her like a crazed beast, a divine revelation akin to her father being tormented, the color of Zhōng Xù’s face changed dramatically, his most loving father, as his pupils turned white.
She had always been especially sensitive, even possessing a divine gift of perception. Her life companion sensed something amiss with Zhōng Xù, who was not quite himself.
But all the guests were already her own connections.
For a moment, Zhōng Xù mistook them for guests as well; most of the guests who came were men and women.
Before her stood Zhōng Xù’s second daughter; the girl who had arrived earlier was Zhōng Xù.
"Who are you... Are you my father’s guests?"
This young girl possessed such immense life energy that even Merchant Little Bai and Yín Shuāng, who were immediately aware, couldn’t help but feel her presence. Yín Shuāng and Merchant Little Bai watched her, dressed in strange clothes, with some surprise.
At this moment, a lone figure suddenly emerged from the fortress outside.
Yín Shuāng was somewhat unsure.
Merchant Little Bai was still hesitating. "If we go there now, it’ll probably just add to the chaos... Shouldn’t we take a look first, though? If those people are just the enemy’s words, will we only be looking?"
To Merchant Little Bai, the battlefield at the Fifth Level seemed nothing short of a disaster, having never witnessed several ninth-level evils.
"It seems... it seems there are a lot of evils coming... And yet they are all formidable evils."
Merchant Little Bai said, feeling an unparalleled oppressive aura. He had completely recovered from Yín Shuāng’s treatment, sensing the powerful vibrations emanating from the top of the fortress.
The bottom of the fortress...
...
...
