I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 1347: Chapter 521: Artificial Maturation—From Girl to Woman! If You’re a Man, Come at Me!

Soon after, Chen Mo and his companions also started turning on each other.

Only he was left standing there, dumbfounded.

"What’s going on with Sikong Zuiyue is her family business, I don’t need to get involved. The pressing matter is still to get rid of Chen Mo..." Qi Kaihai came back to his senses, looked at the two figures tangled in combat in the distance, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

If he hadn’t guessed wrong, that Great Power in the Dao of Arts should be the undercover agent planted by Jiang Wangye. Judging by the looks of it, his strength was no joke, probably not beneath his own!

Having such an expert helping to draw fire was actually a good thing. He just needed to circle on the sidelines, look for an opening, and then land a One-Hit Kill.

But after watching for a while, Qi Kaihai realized something was off.

Why is this Chen Mo’s strength so different from the intel?

Jiang Wangye had personally said that Chen Mo had just broken through to Second Grade, his Realm still unstable. He and Sikong Zuiyue, two First Grades working together, would be more than enough to cut him down.

But now, this brat’s fleshy body was as fierce as a dragon, his Dao Power flowed endlessly, and he was casually unleashing all kinds of Divine Skills of terrifying might, actually suppressing that Great Power in the Dao of Arts for the entire fight!

"This is ’just broke through Second Grade’? You tell me he’s an old veteran First Grade and I’d believe it!"

"Jiang Wangye’s intel is way too outdated. Good thing I’m cautious and didn’t rush in, or I really would’ve been played!"

For this ambush to intercept Chen Mo, the two families had sent out a total of five Grandmasters. Qi Kaihai had brought two, while Sikong Zuiyue had brought one.

Given the current situation, there was no way they could count on the Sikong family anymore, but Qi Kaihai had already planned for this. He turned his head and said to Qi Ye, "Did you bring the Alchemy Pill I gave you?"

"I did." Qi Ye nodded, took out a porcelain bottle from his chest, and poured a blood-red Alchemy Pill into his palm.

"This is a Reverse Vein Pill. After you take it, you can temporarily gain power above your original Realm. There will be some side effects, but with proper nurturing you’ll eventually recover." Qi Kaihai cleared his throat and said righteously, "Do you remember what I told you that day? I’m giving you the chance to execute this fiend because I want you to wash away your shame and regain the position of Heir!"

"Many thanks, elder."

Qi Ye lowered his head, but his eyes were filled with ice.

He wasn’t an idiot. How could he possibly believe this bullshit?

Above the Heavenly Human Realm, each level was worlds apart. Since this Reverse Vein Pill could temporarily break through a Realm, the side effects were naturally terrifying. Even if you didn’t die, your path to immortality was basically crippled!

And Qi Kaihai’s move here, on the one hand, was because he didn’t want to risk his own life personally; on the other hand, he wanted to completely cut off Qi Ye’s future, so that he wouldn’t compete for the family heir position down the line!

"Then what are you still standing there for?" Qi Kaihai urged.

Qi Ye clenched his fists inside his sleeves, closed his eyes, and tilted his head back to swallow the Alchemy Pill.

The pill melted the instant it entered his mouth, rapidly coursing through his entire body. His skin turned crimson, veins bulged all over, and the surrounding Primordial Qi was stirred up, swarming madly into his body.

His internal meridians, unable to withstand the medicinal power, snapped inch by inch, then were forcibly repaired by the surging Primordial Qi. The excruciating agony made his whole body tremble, and he almost screamed out.

Only after a full five breaths did the pain ease. He looked as if he’d been fished out of water, his clothes soaked through with sweat, but his aura was completely different from just moments ago.

Qi Kaihai sized him up from head to toe and nodded in satisfaction.

"The effect really isn’t bad. Your foundation is still a bit lacking, but speaking purely in terms of Dao Power, you can already rival a First Grade."

"In a bit, follow my command. When I say move, you two will strike together. You must achieve a One-Hit Kill and leave Chen Mo no chance to exploit, understand?"

"Yes!" Qi Ye and the other Grandmaster responded.

In Qi Kaihai’s eyes, Chen Mo was already a dead man.

Two First Grades and one Third Grade, three Heavenly Human Realm experts striking at the same time, plus himself supporting from the side—so long as the target wasn’t an Ultimate Venerable, there was absolutely no way he’d survive!

To ensure nothing went wrong, he even handed his personal Magic Artifact, the Mystic Shadow Shuttle, to Qi Ye. This was one of the Qi Family’s ancestral Holy Treasures, with astonishing power, adding a few more points of certainty.

"Hmph, Sikong Zuiyue didn’t help at all this time, so why should she get the same pay as me? I’ll have to make her hand over half of that imperial body!" Qi Kaihai muttered to himself.

Just then, Yuan Junfeng suddenly whipped his brush, flinging several drops of ink onto Chen Mo’s body. The moment they touched his skin, they exploded with a boom, and the tremendous impact forced his body downward!

Qi Kaihai’s eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly, "Now! Move!"

That Qi Family Grandmaster shot out like an arrow leaving the string, leaping through the air, but Qi Ye remained where he was, not budging.

Qi Kaihai’s face darkened. He reached out and gave him a shove, saying angrily, "What are you spacing out for? If we delay and miss this golden chance, I’ll have your head for it..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill in his chest. His body froze, and with disbelief he slowly lowered his head—

Only to see a shuttle-shaped Magic Artifact pierced into his chest, then shooting out of his back. It circled once in the air before landing back in Qi Ye’s palm.

Qi Ye weighed the flying shuttle in his hand and said with a smile, "Gotta say, this Magic Artifact feels pretty smooth to use."

Qi Kaihai’s face turned ashen like gold leaf, and he ground out, "Qi Ye, you dare betray the family? Do you know what this means?!"

"At worst, it’s just death. My life stopped being my own a long time ago anyway." Qi Ye bared a feral grin. "But dragging you down with me as a cushion doesn’t sound too bad!"

With that, he activated the shuttle, sending it howling straight toward the center of Qi Kaihai’s brow!
