Chapter 1345: Chapter 521: Artificial Maturation—From Maiden to Matron! If You’re a Brother, Come Strike Me Down!
Staring at the familiar yet slightly unfamiliar face, Sikong Zuiyue’s pupils trembled slightly, her voice slightly hoarse, "Qinglin, it’s been thirteen years, you’ve finally come to see me..."
With no expression on her delicate face, Sikong Qinglin said indifferently, "After all these years, you haven’t changed a bit, daring to plot against the court officials in broad daylight; do you still have any respect for the law?"
"No, it’s not what you think..." Sikong Zuiyue’s lips trembled, wanting to explain but not knowing how to start.
"I’m not interested in your explanations." Sikong Qinglin shook the sword in her hand, which emitted a sharp buzzing sound, "I’ve been ordered by Mr. Wei to take your head, and you should surrender obediently. I can give you a quick death, saving you from physical suffering."
Sikong Zuiyue wasn’t surprised by her attitude and asked, "Did you receive the things I sent to you?"
A ripple stirred in Sikong Qinglin’s lake-like calm eyes, soon replaced by deep-seated coldness, "So what if I received it? I’ve long forgotten the past; today you must die here!"
Sikong Zuiyue was silent for a moment upon hearing this, shaking her head, "Your talent is extraordinary, and with Wei Xuan’s devoted guidance, your strength is indeed advancing rapidly; but you’re too young to be my opponent..."
"Is that so?"
Sikong Qinglin sneered, raising her left hand in front of her chest and forming a spell.
An intangible aura surged, and her originally slightly immature figure inflated as if filled with air, becoming tall at a visible speed; the black long robe wrapped tightly around her body, highlighting the graceful curves, with the towering parts trembling like ripe peaches.
Even her face appeared more mature, seemingly aging twenty years in an instant!
At the same time, Sikong Qinglin’s realm soared rapidly, from Third Grade, Second Grade, First Grade... Within moments, she transcended several major realms, as if experiencing years of arduous cultivation!
?
Watching from afar, Chen Mo couldn’t help but be stunned.
What kind of cultivation technique is this, so capable of automatic maturation?
These sisters, one with a dual appearance embodying purity and eeriness, and the other freely switching between maiden and matron... Indeed, not a normal family, does the Sikong family have no normal people?
"Yangyuan Technique?!"
Sikong Zuiyue’s expression changed, speaking urgently, "Wei Xuan actually allows you to practice such an evil technique? Don’t you know you’re overdrawing your life force?!"
"Of course, I know." Experiencing the powerful force within, Sikong Qinglin’s youthful face was filled with delight, she chuckled and said, "Exchanging twenty years of life for your head rolling to the ground is very worthwhile for me."
"But..." Sikong Zuiyue wanted to say something more.
Sikong Qinglin did not give her a chance, the sword in her hand shone with sharpness as she slashed down, "Die!"
"You’ve been brainwashed by Wei Xuan, unable to distinguish right from wrong; come back with me first, we’ll discuss other matters later!" Sikong Zuiyue surged up amidst black mist, fiercely confronting her, and the two were immediately locked in battle.
Witnessing the scene, Yuan Junfeng frowned, speaking softly, "Mr. Chen, while they’re fighting internally, I’ll first cover your escape!"
With that, he activated his magic, conjuring multiple blades of ice in his palm, slicing towards the shadowy threads binding Chen Mo below.
However, those threads were exceptionally sturdy; the ice blades only slightly dented them, then suddenly they rebounded entirely, slicing unerringly towards Chen Mo’s neck!
"Watch out, Mr. Chen!" Yuan Junfeng shouted in alarm.
Szzzz——
The sharp blade pierced through the neck!
Chen Mo stood still, hands clutching his neck, blood gushing out through the gaps between his fingers.
"Are you okay, Mr. Chen?" Yuan Junfeng looked anxious, wanting to step forward to check, but the next moment, his gaze tightened, his footsteps halted.
To his surprise, Chen Mo, who should have been beheaded, grabbed his own head, pressing it back onto his neck, adjusted the angle left and right, and waved his hand, "It’s not over, don’t worry, Yuan. Just be more careful in the next life."
Yuan Junfeng froze for a moment, then realized, "This is your Illusion Technique?"
"More or less." Chen Mo did not explain much.
Since leaving the training field, he had quietly enveloped himself in the Purple Extreme Cave Heaven, hence Qi Kaihai’s enchantment hadn’t affected him at all, and the ice blades earlier were disassembled by the magnetic field.
"That’s good, you scared me; I almost thought I accidentally hurt Mr. Chen." Yuan Junfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Accidentally hurt?" Chen Mo raised an eyebrow, "From my perspective, it should be more like a misfire, right?"
Yuan Junfeng spoke seriously, "What do you mean, Mr. Chen? Do you think I’m collaborating with them?"
Chen Mo looked him over and spoke, "I’ve always found it strange; you should be the most familiar with Ling Yishan’s situation. During this period, Zhi’er nearly sacrificed herself searching for Immortal Materials, yet your beloved disciple was not anxious at all, as if unbothered..."
Yuan Junfeng replied helplessly, "Elder Ling personally instructed me to focus on government duties, not to waste time on such matters; despite my reluctance, I can only comply."
"What about Hui Neng?" Chen Mo continued, "Hui Neng happened to infiltrate the Demon Suppression Department during its most vulnerable time, as if foreknowing you’d take people out, is this also a coincidence?"
"And this alchemy attempt..."
"With the Yulin Army and the Ultimate Venerable protecting, you should’ve stayed at the Demon Suppression Department by right. Yet, you insisted on coming to the training field, claiming concern for Elder Ling’s safety. However, now with the Demon Clan’s appearance and the thunder tribulation raging, during the critical moment of alchemy, you still abandoned Elder Ling, insisting on coming to the Chen Mansion with me..."
