Unfilial disciple, do not ruin your master's dream of ascension and peaceful life.

Zhong Wei couldn't understand what had happened.

He lost control of his body and collapsed to the ground. Large chunks of flesh burst from his body, and his skin and hair grew wildly. His body quickly turned into an indescribable mass of flesh.

Perhaps because the shock was too great, only one question remained in his mind:

If Qianjing's superpower isn't copying, then what is it?

"To be honest, I don't like my superpower, I really don't. Even when I use it occasionally, I keep it within a certain range."

As Qianjing spoke, she dug her fingers into her left eye socket and ripped the eyeball off with a "plop".

It is a prosthetic eye.

His left eye is blind.

"Some things are taboo simply by existing; touching the taboo comes at a price, whether you do it willingly or not... Heh."

He licked his prosthetic eye, moistened it with saliva, and then put it back into the eye socket.

"It seems my silly apprentice's side hasn't decided a winner yet. Well, as a pastime while waiting, I happen to have some questions for you."

Qianjing shoved his hand into the large mass of rotten flesh called Zhong Wei, fumbled around for a while, and finally pulled out the jade box, which Zhong Wei always carried with him.

"What exactly is this thing, and why do you want it?"

“…………”

"Speak louder, feed me? I think I've preserved your language abilities, haven't I?"

"Go to hell!"

boom!!!!

The remaining blood bubbles suddenly burst, but the target wasn't Qian Jing, but the water tower behind them! The water tower collapsed with a roar, and tons of water gushed out from the broken storage tank, washing over Zhong Wei's body!

Zhong Wei vomited blood all over his body, which mixed with the water and polluted it. Tens of thousands of bubbles rose from it, surrounding Qian Jing completely!

"Thousands of tons... TNT... equivalent... let's all... die!!!"

boom!!!!!!

……

……

At the moment of the explosion, a fortress with a diameter of more than 300 meters appeared out of thin air, completely enveloping the source of the explosion.

Those are the walls of a nuclear fortress, with massively insulating concrete embedded with countless reinforcing metals, and then separated by a vacuum layer that blocks the spread of infrasound, forming layers of onion-like structures that can disperse the impact of an explosion to the greatest extent possible.

Such a colossal structure could be "conjured" by Qianjing with a mere wave of his hand.

With a muffled thud, the thousand-ton explosion was completely stopped, causing no impact other than a slight tremor in the ground.

Qianjing looked through the crack in the wall and saw that Zhong Wei himself had been caught in the explosion and was completely obliterated.

"...She's ruthless."

So...

How's the foolish apprentice doing? Is he still alive?

The building for repeat offenders, behind it, warehouse number three.

"Huff... hiss... huff... huff..."

At this moment, Ye Yinqiu was leaning weakly against the warehouse wall.

Head injury – mild concussion, perforated left eardrum, fractured nasal bridge, and fractured cheekbone.

Both arms – right shoulder fracture, left elbow, wrist, and three fingers comminuted fractures with broken bones protruding from the skin.

Lower back – A minor injury to the lumbar spine led to a herniated intervertebral disc.

Leg injuries – left knee shattered, left foot fractured, and a chunk of flesh ripped off the right calf.

Internal organs – bleeding in multiple organs, ruptured gallbladder.

Even though she is good at enduring pain, she is now finding it a bit too much to bear.

She desperately tried to move her fractured right shoulder again, using her bloodstained right hand and teeth to bite down on a rough cloth wrapped around the wound on her left arm, each movement causing excruciating pain.

She couldn't remember how long she had been dealing with Zhou Rong; she only remembered that she had been desperately trying to escape. The initial pressurization of the entire building dealt her a heavy blow. She jumped out of the window to escape, only to be chased by the air compressor. She didn't know how many injuries she had sustained along the way before she finally reached the door of her destination.

She strained her ears, trying to hear the sounds coming from the high-security prison building.

...There was no movement.

At first, you could still hear the prisoners' screams, but now you can't hear anything at all, except for Zhou Rong singing despair in a song-like tone.

"Come out~ Come out~ Little cutie~ Why are you hiding from me? Come out~~~!"

boom!!!

A pneumatic cannon shot pierced the wall of the high-security prison building, but it wasn't aimed at the warehouse.

Ye Yinqiu struggled to her feet, using her weak right hand to grasp the key she had stolen to open the warehouse door. In the dim light, she opened her bleeding eyes wide to search for the treasured sword "Caiying".

(Where...)

(Where exactly is it...?)

(Master, please guide me...)

(No, that's not right... How can I continue to act cute towards my master...)

Just as she was in a state of extreme anxiety, a glimmer of light in the corner caught her attention. Coughing up blood, she staggered over to it—

That's it! It was in a box with a note on it. She immediately took it out and, gritting her teeth, tore off the scabbard despite the pain!

"Okay... Phew... Okay...!"

The sword remained as bright as new, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief, but death arrived as expected.

"Found you!!!"

Zhou Rong's voice suddenly rang out at the warehouse door. He clapped his hands and swaggered in, blocking the only exit!

"Is hide-and-seek really that fun?!"

"Now it's time for the interrogation~~~"

"Tell me everything you know!"

"Ah, forget it, I'm tired of playing around too, let's just kill them!"

What method should we use to make her die a more spectacular death? Explode internally? Crush externally? Or blast her into a pulp with an air compressor?

"As expected, let it explode!!!"

He raised his hands, aiming them at Ye Yinqiu, ready to unleash his power—

"Don't even think about it!!!!"

Ye Yinqiu gritted her teeth, slammed her sword into the ground, and used it as a crutch to help herself to her feet.

Snap!

The sound of flesh being cut rang out.

But it wasn't Ye Yinqiu who got hurt.

Zhou Rong looked down in surprise and saw blood spurting from his foot. The excruciating pain took half a second to reach his brain.

A hole was punched in my heel.

It felt as if I had been pierced by an invisible blade.

"What—"

He collapsed in pain, the injury severing his right Achilles tendon, rendering him unable to maintain his fighting ability, and the skill he was about to unleash was also interrupted!

"What did you do!?"

Zhou Rong was both shocked and furious. It was true that his whole body was protected by the air pressure barrier—but that did not include his feet. Otherwise, he would not even be able to stand properly on the ground and would not be able to walk normally!

"I……"

Ye Yinqiu was a little confused for a moment, but that confusion quickly turned into ecstasy!

"You'll remember the consequences of offending my Sword Inquiry Sect with your death!!"

It's finally her turn. Although I don't know what's going on, let's throw out some tough words first! (Blazing Roaring Tiger)
