Chapter 75: 75. The Fifth Supreme Treasure
A solemn and grave shrine.
Xiaoye Liangzi wore a pure, immaculate white purity, her delicate face shy and smiling.
She felt she had found lifelong happiness and a lifelong support.
Unfortunately, this marriage was not as beautiful as she imagined.
"Slap!"
A loud slap rang out.
Xiaoye Liangzi covered her cheek, collapsing to the ground.
She looked at the drunken figure in front of her, her eyes filled with fear.
Obscene words kept coming through.
"You filthy bitch, you were peeping at that Great Xia Person this morning as if I wouldn't notice?"
Xiaoye Liangzi didn't dare to resist, as that would invite more brutal violence.
She had once cried to her mother, but only received words of urging patience in return.
"Yasuda has a very decent job; he's a senior staffer in a trading company stationed in Great Xia, with a good income..."
The worst part was that here, in the unfamiliar Great Xia, she didn't even have the chance to seek solace from family and friends.
Day after day of humiliation and violence, gradually oppressed her.
A deep-seated anger and resentment accumulated in her heart, waiting to erupt like a volcano.
Many times she awoke in the middle of the night, staring at her snoring husband beside her, fantasizing about stabbing him to death with a knife.
But the cowardice in her bones stopped her from doing it.
After some time.
Things got even worse.
Great Xia fully enforced a state of emergency, making it increasingly difficult for the trading company's division in Great Xia to operate.
Yasuda's temper grew more irritable, his actions more ruthless.
Just seeing her husband's figure made Xiaoye Liangzi tremble uncontrollably.
More than once she thought, "One day, he will kill me!"
Finally, one day.
Her premonition came true.
"Bang!"
An ashtray smashed viciously onto her head, blood immediately flowing down.
Xiaoye Liangzi just felt dizzy and faint.
She touched the blood on her forehead, her heart full of despair.
At that moment.
Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly glimpsed a touch of white.
It was the puppet doll her mother had prayed for at the shrine, hoping the doll would ward off disasters for her.
For some reason.
She vaguely saw the doll seemed to move slightly.
"Shameless bitch..."
The vicious curses continued floating over, tormenting her soul.
Xiaoye Liangzi trembled as she reached her right hand toward the puppet doll: "If you could really ward off my disasters, that would be great."
At the moment her fingertips touched it.
The doll turned into a gray light, disappearing in her right hand.
She immediately widened her eyes.
The drunk insults continued to pound: "Stupid bitch, don't play dead, get up for me..."
This shout suddenly ignited the volcano in Xiaoye Liangzi's heart.
She erupted, screaming: "Go to hell... Die!"
With this cry.
An identical Xiaoye Liangzi emerged from her body.
The drunken figure was stunned by the sight.
Xiaoye Liangzi commanded: "Restrain him!"
The doppelgänger rushed forward, entangling him with arms and legs.
Xiaoye Liangzi, her eyes red, rushed into the kitchen, grabbed a kitchen knife, and slashed viciously at her husband's neck.
"Crack!"
One slash.
The screams began.
"Crack!"
Two slashes.
Blood splattered.
Xiaoye Liangzi didn't feel afraid; instead, she felt an extreme exhilaration.
Soon after.
The head was chopped off.
Xiaoye Liangzi holding the kitchen knife, laughed loudly, almost to the point of tears.
She calmly thought for a while, then instructed the doppelgänger: "You stay here, after receiving my order, set this room on fire."
The doppelgänger nodded.
Xiaoye Liangzi hummed a tune as she took a shower, then booked a plane ticket on the computer.
The next day.
She left Great Xia by plane.
But did not return to Ying Sang Kingdom, instead went to another country south of the East Continent.
To make a living, Xiaoye Liangzi started working in a very old profession.
She would follow the customer home, and then let the doppelgänger go and chop off the customer's head, creating the illusion of mutual destruction.
This bloody slaughter made her feel very pleased.
Xiaoye Liangzi began to discover that as the battles increased, both she and her doppelgangers became increasingly powerful.
As time went by.
Various events followed one after another.
Gangs, natural disasters, man-made calamities, chaos, and so on, Xiaoye Liangzi's strength grew stronger and stronger.
She awakened her superpower and broke through the first barrier to become a warrior.
After that.
Xiaoye Liangzi no longer held back.
She did something outrageous, using her doppelgangers to launch attacks, destroying more than a dozen gangs in half a month, attacking dozens of official institutions, and killing thousands of people.
Everyone who had bullied her, all died.
Many more innocent people who had never bullied her also died.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Xiaoye Liangzi returned to the Ying Sang Kingdom and joined an official institution there.
In the subsequent decades.
The people around her often died suddenly.
Many suspected her, but due to her ever-growing power and lack of evidence, they were helpless against her.
Until one day.
Multiple rifts appeared in the sky above the Ying Sang Kingdom, with many monsters from the Primordial World invading this realm.
In this incident, Xiaoye Liangzi "became a legend" in one battle.
When besieging a powerful monster, she suddenly split into more than a dozen incarnations, each with warrior-level combat strength.
Dozens of doppelgangers teamed up, displaying an extremely skillful coordination, and each fought fearlessly, allowing her to single-handedly slay the monster.
The moment the battle ended, Xiaoye Liangzi broke through the spirit barrier and successfully advanced to a knight.
This battle shook the entire world.
Xiaoye Liangzi thus became the first knight powerhouse of the Ying Sang Kingdom and also its most powerful superpower user.
Her status in the Ying Sang Kingdom reached an unprecedented peak, being hailed as the kingdom's "most beautiful Sakura Flower."
She often had multiple doppelgangers active simultaneously, and no one knew which was the doppelganger and which was the real one.
It wasn't that no one plotted to kill Xiaoye Liangzi, but after all their efforts, they found out they had only killed a doppelganger.
More doppelgangers soon swarmed over, brutally killing the attackers.
The Canglan People gave her a title — the Immortal Woman.
From being a woman subjected to domestic violence, to becoming one of the most powerful figures on Canglan Star, Xiaoye Liangzi's experience was truly legendary.
The above.
Was the entire content of the dream.
To be honest.
This time the dream presented a span of several decades of experience, which really shocked Yang Fan a bit.
He reflected on the deeds in the dream and couldn't help but sigh: "Xiaoye Liangzi is ruthless and indiscriminately kills innocents.
"But in the end, she still married into the royal family and was called the most beautiful Sakura Flower. Can powerhouses really do whatever they want?"
Yang Fan sighed again: "I finally understand what it means that those who fight monsters eventually become monsters themselves."
Although he had heard this phrase many times before, he never understood it deeply.
Now he completely understood it.
Yang Fan felt that although he had killed people and casually deprived others of their superpowers, he was not a good person.
But compared to Xiaoye Liangzi, he was clearly a white lotus.
As for curiosities.
He only had one opinion: "Strong! Extremely strong!"
When the doppelganger doll grows to a certain stage, it can actually split into an astonishing dozen doppelgangers.
Each doppelganger's strength is about ninety percent of the original body.
All doppelgangers acting together can raise their combat power to a higher level.
At this moment.
Yang Fan stood on the streets of Tianfu Sea City, quietly observing a slender figure walking out from a high-end community.
The person was Xiaoye Liangzi.
She was wearing a beautiful dress, giving off a weak and delicate impression.
Tianfu Sea City is the second-largest city in the Great Xia Kingdom, with a total population close to thirty million.
Many multinational corporations have their headquarters in this vast city within the Great Xia Kingdom.
Yang Fan frowned, pondering how to deal with this woman.
The other party has not yet merged with the curious puppet doll, and everything in the dream has yet to begin.
As he stood there, he felt a strange sense of "standing at the crossroads of destiny."
Yang Fan watched Xiaoye Liangzi walk away and whispered to himself: "I won't let you become a problem for the Great Xia Kingdom."
In the fleeting dream realm.
He saw more than once that when countries explored the Primordial World, Xiaoye Liangzi used her doppelgangers' power to kill many Great Xia Superpower Users.
Especially after she became a knight, during a relic exploration, she killed more than a hundred Xia People in one breath.
It took two knight powerhouses from Great Xia to barely hold her back.
Yang Fan's thoughts drifted a bit far.
"Judging from the dream, the Ying Sang Kingdom colludes with the Carmenia Federation and harbors considerable hostility toward Great Xia.
"Perhaps I need to take measures against the Ying Sang Kingdom, eliminate potential Ying Sang Superpower Users, and heavily suppress the Ying Sang People."
In the dream, Great Xia, facing the Carmenia-led coalition, was only on par with them.
Yang Fan thought he could do something to ensure the dream doesn't replay.
His eyes flickered: "Maybe I should find time to go to Ying Sang."
"Besides, collecting superpowers from humans is much quicker than from mutated creatures."
Mutated animals are not easy to find; it takes a long time of running around to locate one.
While superpower users can be found in bunches.
The efficiency is incomparable.
Yang Fan smacked his lips: "Really want to make a big grab!"
