Chapter 588 - 587: Bai Wuyou Is Controlled
In the distance, Qin Ya, Bai Wuyou, and the others were traveling together.
Suddenly, a series of rustling sounds, SHHH SHHH, came from all around. Dozens of Human Race Kings appeared from all directions, charging at them without a single word.
Qin Ya and the others were startled. The True Meaning of Space erupted from him, and an invisible wave spread out, freezing and binding their attackers. Immediately after, their group darted away.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...
Dozens of powerful blasts of True Essence Demon Qi slammed into the spot where they had just been standing, creating massive craters and kicking up countless clouds of dust.
"What’s going on?"
Bai Wuyou frowned, looking with confusion at the dozens of Kings before her.
Their eyes were pitch-black and held a sinister light. Their faces were expressionless, like puppets. Wreathed in True Essence mixed with Demonic Qi, they charged at the small group.
Qin Ya’s gaze narrowed. "Inspector Bai," he said coldly, "look. Their auras are extremely similar to Inspector Cai’s. It’s very likely they are also being controlled."
At Qin Ya’s reminder, realization dawned on her!
But what followed was an endless rage. The chill in her eyes was like that of an ancient, unmelting iceberg—an eerie cold that sent shivers down one’s spine.
At that moment, the dozens of Kings charged from all directions.
The vast True Essence Demon Qi stirred up gales, kicking up one storm after another.
Although these dozens of Kings were being controlled and couldn’t use any Mysterious Techniques, even an Era-Defining King would find such an onslaught to be a massive headache.
"All of you... get lost!"
But Bai Wuyou’s delicate face turned cold. Her brow lifted, and with a sweep of the sleeve of her magnificent robe, a terrifying burst of True Essence erupted. Divine Light, so dense it seemed to solidify, flowed out, sending ripples spreading in every direction.
PENG, PENG, PENG...
The swirling True Essence Demon Qi all around was crushed. The moment the Kings touched the Divine Light, they were swept away like leaves in an autumn wind, sent flying into the distance.
"I will send you to your rest now."
Bai Wuyou’s face was devoid of joy or sorrow, but her slightly trembling arm revealed that her heart was not nearly as calm as it seemed!
But she was a Half-Venerable, after all, and quickly regained her composure.
"Mysterious Technique... Sleeve Wave Stirs a Hundred Rivers!"
As her words fell, she raised her sleeve. Divine Light surged from it like a mighty river, carrying the torrential force of a tidal wave. The moment the Kings came into contact with the Divine Light, their bodies instantly exploded, blasted into dust.
After killing all the controlled Kings, the bone-chilling killing intent around Bai Wuyou did not recede. She lifted her eyes to the distant horizon and said coldly, "You foul demon of the Demon Race, hiding and skulking about. Do I need to force you to show yourself?"
Her voice, laced with True Essence, thundered across the heavens and earth like rolling thunder.
And on the distant horizon...
"Hehe, how interesting."
At that moment, a soft chuckle was heard.
A member of the Demon Race, completely wrapped in a black cloak, descended from the sky.
"Excellent, what fine material."
"Fair-skinned and beautiful, exuding an air of nobility, and a Human Race Half-Venerable to boot. So much better than those other humans from before. It will certainly be fun to play with you."
A thrilled smile spread across Third Brother’s lips. His expression was like that of a child who had just seen a beloved toy and couldn’t wait to snatch it up.
Gales whipped up around Bai Wuyou, her sleeves dancing wildly as streams of Divine Light surged forth. Her gaze was like two cold daggers as she spoke in a chilling tone, "Are you the one from the Demon Race who turned Inspector Cai into a puppet?"
Third Brother sneered, "That’s right. And you will follow in his footsteps."
"No. I will be the one to slay you here!" Bai Wuyou said coldly.
Qin Ya and Bi Xiaoyu retreated to the side, leaving the battle to Bai Wuyou.
BOOM...
An explosion tore through the air.
In the next instant, Bai Wuyou was in front of Third Brother. Her gaze was ice-cold, and her sleeves billowed as streams of Divine Light shot out like the great waves of the Yangtze River.
The immense Divine Light, carrying a terrifying impact force, blasted toward Third Brother. But he just chuckled, and a black divine light erupted from his body as well. That light flowed between his ten fingers, then transformed into countless threads that streaked through the void.
Like sharp needles, the threads pierced into the Divine Light. Like fish swimming into a river, they weaved about, actually causing the Divine Light rushing toward him to veer off course and slam into a nearby cliffside, making Bai Wuyou’s expression change slightly.
𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
’Those Demon Qi Threads... are not simple at all.’
Just as the thought surfaced in her mind, the threads shot toward Bai Wuyou from all directions like nimble little snakes. She snorted coldly. Divine Light flowed over her body, her sleeves fluttered, and she sent out streams of Qi Force to meet them.
PENG, PENG...
The threads were smashed to pieces, completely mangled.
With a flicker, Bai Wuyou’s figure shot out of the encirclement of Demon Qi Threads and soared high into the sky. Her gaze focused, Divine Light erupted, and the sound of flowing water seemed to emanate from her. The sound grew louder and louder until it became the roar of a monstrous, tidal wave.
"Mysterious Technique... A Sleeve Becomes the River!"
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM...
The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi went into a frenzy, and Divine Light illuminated the world. The void within a thousand zhang of Bai Wuyou seemed to be swept by a tidal wave, filled with a terrifying, surging power.
Then, the great river of Primordial Qi descended brazenly from the sky!
Third Brother was locked onto by the great river of Primordial Qi, making escape impossible. He took a deep breath, and Demonic Qi danced wildly around him. The threads formed from black divine light continuously interwove in the void, creating an impenetrable black curtain of light to block the river. With a deafening roar, the river crashed against the barrier.
Amidst the swirling Qi Force, the black light curtain showed incredible resilience, actually managing to withstand the great river. Seeing this, Bai Wuyou channeled her Divine Light and pushed her True Essence once more. A long, turquoise sword suddenly appeared in her palm, and she thrust it forward in an instant!
The Sword Qi passed through the great river and struck the black barrier directly.
PUFF...
The black barrier, already under pressure from the great river of Primordial Qi, could no longer hold. A hole appeared, and with a great SPLASHING sound, the river poured through, relentlessly washing over Third Brother’s body. Although he tried to resist with his Demonic Qi, it was completely useless.
His body began to crack apart as he was slammed into a mountain cliff...
"Haaaah..."
Bai Wuyou took a deep breath and landed on the ground.
However, she failed to notice that Third Brother, who appeared to have lost consciousness, twitched a finger. A single black thread shot toward Bai Wuyou, silent and unseen.
Bai Wuyou took out a Purple Jade Order and said softly, "Inspector Cai, I have finally avenged you. Your spirit in heaven should now be able to rest in peace."
But at that moment...
CLANG! The purple order suddenly fell.
A look of horror appeared on Bai Wuyou’s face. Looking at Qin Ya and Bi Xiaoyu as they approached her, she immediately yelled, "Don’t come any closer!"
Qin Ya frowned, pulling Bi Xiaoyu back and stopping in his tracks.
"Heheheh..."
"You will become my newest collectible."
The Demon Race member in the distance slowly rose to his feet, a sinister smile spreading across his lips. He waved his arm and twitched his five fingers. Bai Wuyou’s expression changed—her True Essence began to circulate, and she uncontrollably struck out at Qin Ya!!
