Chapter 608: Chang Ye Slays Xinyue
The garrison on the island was even crazier than her.
The defenders knew full well that conventional methods would be utterly ineffective against such an enemy, so at least dozens adopted the human bomb mode without a second thought.
Leaping up, they dove straight into the enemy ranks, determined to detonate the bombs on their bodies even if their limbs were severed.
This fighting method shocked the ancient cultivators, scattering them with a loud roar.
As a result, even if the warriors were determined to go down with their enemy, it was hard to find an effective breakthrough.
However, this also gave Xinyue an opportunity.
The shadows parted, and with Xinyue's instant teleportation and invisibility technique, she was especially agile, killing three people in a matter of moments.
Suddenly, her heart trembled violently...
Two cultivators kicked open the laboratory above.
It was a laboratory that Qianlong valued exceptionally highly.
Because inside lay a special person.
Chang Ye!
Chang Ye's uniqueness had two points: first, she willingly became the ultimate poison test subject; second, she was Lin Xiaosu's lover.
As important as Lin Xiaosu was, she was equally important.
Therefore, this laboratory was personally guarded by Xinyue, a Qianlong Gold Medal holder. Xinyue, who so loved excitement, didn't attend the three battlefronts that simultaneously opened on the third of March because she had to guard Chang Ye.
Tonight, Chang Ye was in trouble!
Swish!
Xinyue suddenly appeared in the laboratory, behind the two cultivators.
With a slash, one of the cultivators' long sword fell to the ground.
However, the wind rose from behind, the pressure was as heavy as a mountain.
Xinyue's body flickered as she prepared to activate instant teleportation.
A palm flew at her, covering her entire space.
Boom!
Xinyue was sent flying far away, her internal organs seemed to have shifted instantaneously.
In terms of real combat power, she couldn't compare to a Peeping Heaven Master at all, and today's ambush was all due to her instant teleportation and invisibility technique.
Now, being hit by a palm...
In the corner of her eye, she saw the laboratory door being slashed open.
On the experimental platform, someone lay quietly.
Chang Ye!
Chang Ye had been lying here for several months.
Her body was in a very strange condition.
All her indicators were normal.
But she just wouldn't wake up.
The dim light cast a mysterious beauty on Chang Ye, making her like a flower quietly blooming in the laboratory.
This quietness infused with a mysterious beauty made the two cultivators' eyes light up simultaneously, one on the left licked his lips: "What a little beauty!"
"Indeed, women of Daxia Country have a charm that those from Western countries lack!" said the other.
"Junior brother, go guard the door outside!"
"Senior brother, are you going to take her here?"
"Haha, it's just a mere base, full of ordinary people from the End of Dharma Era, what waves could they possibly stir? I'll enjoy myself a bit, it won't delay anything..."
Suddenly, his voice stopped.
Because Chang Ye on the experimental table suddenly opened her eyes.
"Awake? Good that you're awake!" The senior brother extended a hand, reaching for Chang Ye's chest.
Chang Ye's eyes suddenly changed.
This change was like an ancient deep pool...
"Careful, senior brother, this girl doesn't seem simple..."
Chang Ye frowned, and all the wires connected to her body broke simultaneously!
Chang Ye abruptly sat up!
As she sat up, her hair swayed!
Swish!
Two strands of hair accurately hit the two cultivators' brows.
The two cultivators' eyes widened suddenly, and their bodies went limp, as if instantly drained of bones, and they collapsed softly.
Swish!
The wind rose!
Xinyue finally rushed back!
Upon returning, her murderous intent seeped down to her hair tips, yet upon entering the laboratory, she was stunned.
The two cultivators lay on the ground.
And Chang Ye had sat up!
"Sister Chang Ye, it's great that you've woken up. The Desolate Ancient Ream has invaded the island..."
Suddenly, there was no one in front of her!
Xinyue spun around suddenly, stepping outside. By the cliff's edge outside, Chang Ye's long hair flowed as she gazed across the whole island, different from the Chang Ye of past days.
She seemed to have returned to a time before she met Lin Xiaosu.
She was the generation's Poison King that overseas enemies feared.
Chang Ye suddenly extended her hand!
Reaching into the dark night sky.
From her fingertips shot ten strands of black aura.
The ten strands of black aura, like serpents, initially thin as silk, melded into the air, covering the sky and earth.
Xinyue's eyes widened, watching her girlfriend in surprise...
The cultivators on the island suddenly looked up.
At the instant they looked up, the stars in the sky lost their color collectively. The whole world seemed to be locked down by a huge black pot.
"Enlightenment Realm?" A cultivator shouted.
"It's not Enlightenment Realm, it's poison!" said another.
"Scared me! It's just some lowly poison, then it's nothing, disperse it!" A Peeping Heaven level cultivator spread his large sleeve, with strong True Qi rolling towards the sky above.
This sweep was enough to disperse any airflow, but today must have been haunted.
The mist above suddenly, like a spirit serpent, struck down fiercely!
Swish!
Two cultivators were enveloped.
The two cultivators' eyes widened suddenly, as if they were roosters being choked at the throat.
Their faces slowly distorted, their bodies also transforming.
Poof!
The two collapsed softly at the same time, like two water-filled leather bags.
The same scene occurred all over the island.
The toxic mist shrouding the sky is unyielding, as agile as a spirit snake.
It does not harm the islanders, targeting only the cultivators.
Blades touch it, and they melt.
People touch it, and their bodies collapse softly, bones dissolving completely.
The bizarreness of this poison is hair-raising.
Anything hard melts away, but the flesh and tissue remain unharmed.
What does this signify?
It signifies that those poisoned won't die instantly, but will live out their lives in extreme agony.
Before death, they can't even cry out, for they have no bones left in their bodies, unable to open their mouths.
Xinyue watched as all the island's cultivators were engulfed by the mist, each losing their bones under the hands of her bosom friend. Though she feared nothing usually, at this moment, she was filled with terror.
This skill defies the heavens.
Chang Ye has evolved again.
Moreover, the extent of evolution is unprecedented!
Never mind the poison; just the ability to control it even at such a distance is astonishing. Even an Observing Heaven realm master's True Qi release cannot reach so far, right?
Could this be a method of the Enlightenment Realm?
Suddenly, above the sky, two thousand-feet Dharma Bodies appeared out of nowhere.
A palm pressed down!
Like a stone shattering the heavens.
"Enlightenment Realm!" Xinyue exclaimed.
Chang Ye suddenly raised her head, and the mist whirled up to meet the palm.
As the palm descended, it initially resembled a real human hand.
However, once covered by the mist, the True Essence Giant Palm melted like ice meeting boiling water.
"Bone Transformation Poison affecting True Essence… Bone Transformation Poison!" an Enlightenment Realm voice exclaimed in the air: "You are from the Wan du sect!"
Another Enlightenment Realm person said, "We also acknowledge the Wan du sect as our master. Since you belong to the sect, we should walk the same path. Why do you block our way?"
"Scram!" Chang Ye coldly reprimanded.
Both Enlightenment Realm figures' expressions changed simultaneously.
"Such a junior with no sense of right and wrong, kill her!"
Whizz!
A giant umbrella pierced through the space, shooting into the rolling mist.
Even the Bone Transformation Poison, which melts hard objects, couldn't harm this umbrella in the slightest. This umbrella was evidently a kind of Magic Artifact from the Desolate Ancient Realm.
With a boom, the umbrella opened!
As it opened, an overwhelmingly powerful force was unleashed.
The circle of mist created by Chang Ye was forcibly split open.
In the opening, a sword like a Heavenly Sword emerged, slashing towards Chang Ye.
Chang Ye's expression changed.
She may have powerful superpowers, but her physical combat power cannot compete with the Enlightenment Realm.
Seeing that Chang Ye faced a life-threatening crisis within an hour of awakening, suddenly, the sky subtly trembled, and a peculiar Heavenly Window appeared.
An elegant female voice came from the Heavenly Window: "A flesh body giving birth to Bone Transformation Poison, a natural poison body, interesting!"
As the voice resonated, time and space seemed to completely stand still.
Chang Ye's hair floated to the top of her head and stopped moving.
The poison mist surrounding the giant umbrella stood still.
The True Essence Giant Sword looming in the void paused three feet from Chang Ye's forehead.
The two Enlightenment Realm figures' expressions drastically changed, and the one on the left spoke: "An Otherworldly Window opens, State of 'Holding'…"
The one on the right knelt with a crash: "Greetings, Sect Leader!"
The one on the left, his face changing color, also knelt in the air: "Greetings, Sect Leader!"
"Who are you?" The elegant female voice from the Heavenly Window asked.
"I am an elder from Zhuo Valley, in the Nine Valleys of Yin Cloud. The Valley Master even went to Qishan before to be privileged enough to meet the Sect Leader… This outing is in compliance with the Fourth Elder under the Sect Leader's order."
"Conquering Daxia to seize the Kunlun Ancient Hall is indeed an order from me!" said the Sect Leader in the Heavenly Window, "However, this girl's situation is unique. Hold your hands for now. Let me ask her a question before making a decision."
"Yes!"
The True Essence Long Sword dissipated into smoke and vanished.
Chang Ye's hair finally floated again.
Above the sky, across a vast starry river.
In the depths of the starry river, within the Heavenly Window…
A voice came through: "Girl, would you like to join my Wan du sect?"
Xinyue sprang up: "A Qianlong Warrior would never betray! Get lost!"
In the Heavenly Window, a cold snort was heard: "Girl, this woman dared to insult me, she courts death! If you are willing to join me, kill her to prove yourself!"
Chang Ye's gaze slowly lifted, fixing on Xinyue, her eyes cold and cruel.
Xinyue saw her gaze, and her face gradually changed: "Sister Chang Ye, you…"
"Who is your sister? From this Nirvana, I have long forgotten everything!" her voice was infinitely cold.
"You…"
With a swish, a hand suddenly appeared at Xinyue's throat!
Xinyue's eyes widened, utterly in disbelief.
This was her best friend.
This was her closest sister in Qianlong.
This was the sister who would leave her a letter even knowing her own death was near…
Yet today, she grasped her throat, with cold murder filling her eyes.
Is this Nirvana?
She has undergone Nirvana and forgotten everything in this world.
She doesn't remember the Qianlong mission.
She doesn't remember the sisterhood.
She doesn't even remember that there's a Lin Xiaosu.
The poison in her bones has made her heart poisonous…
"Chang Ye! Come back! Come back!" A middle-aged man shouted from the hillside ahead.
Boom!
A finger descended from the void, and Qianlong 006, the person in charge of Island 101, was reduced to a pool of flesh.
Killed before Chang Ye.
Chang Ye didn't even blink.
Her hand abruptly squeezed.
Crack!
Xinyue's neck was snapped, and her body went limp…
