"Special usage technique?"
Eve looked at Fu Qian doubtfully.
"Yes."
The latter flicked his wrist, and a Scarlet Whip appeared out of thin air, cracking a beautiful whip flourish.
Seeing the veins and tendons on the whip, Eve's expression became incredibly complex.
"You... you lunatic!"
Eve could tell at a glance that this whip was no mere novelty item, but a genuine weapon.
Her heart sank as she looked at Fu Qian, unable to comprehend his actions.
"What exactly do you want to do? What good will this do you?"
Crack!
Facing her accusation, Fu Qian remained silent, answering her with his actions.
With another crisp sound, a deep mark was left on Eve's arm, as white and smooth as jade.
Suddenly attacked, the intense pain made Eve scream.
However, the next moment, something even more terrifying happened.
A chaotic and violent thought surged in her mind, shaking her mental state.
"Why... are you doing this?"
Eve's voice became hoarse. She tried her best to dodge, but in front of the invisible Scarlet Whip, it was useless.
"Why?"
Fu Qian cracked the whip again, retracted his foot, stood tall, and sneered.
"Bold demon, I could tell you weren't human at a glance!"
"Let me reveal your true form!"
"Prepare for demon-catching!"
These bizarre lines almost froze Eve in place, and she undoubtedly took another whip lash.
"Why! Why are you forcing me!"
Amidst the intense pain, roars erupted from Eve's throat.
At the same time, an incredibly violent and crazed aura emanated from her.
Centered on the bright red whip marks on her body, crystal-like scales began to grow, spreading across her entire body.
On each scale, a blurry face let out a wail.
Soon, the crystal scales completely encased her, transforming her into a massive crystal with countless facets, enough to make any woman scream.
As she moved, the countless wails on the scales merged into a sound wave that could drive one insane.
Under the impact of the sound wave, even Fu Qian felt his head sink, as if it had been struck by a hammer.
[Sanity Value -1]
This actually caused him to lose sanity?
It couldn't help but bring to mind the scene of facing an Evil God's Progeny.
This thing really wasn't human!
Confirming his judgment, Fu Qian's actions became more resolute, continuously striking the target with Tyrant's Fist.
When he deduced that something might be lurking within Wen Li, he had considered various methods to force her hand, but none were as effective as this newly acquired weapon, which was an unexpected bonus.
"Why! Why!"
Eve's upper arm lay on the ground, her neck stretched to an unbelievable length. In a quadrupedal stance, she looked at Fu Qian, her voice now resembling an animal's howl.
Under the continuous lashing, the negative accumulation of Tyrant's Fist was terrifying. For a mental-type entity like this, it was far more horrific than physical damage.
At this moment, the intense mental stimulation combined with the desperate will to survive pushed her to complete her transformation at all costs.
As long as she could successfully reach the Sixth Order, everything would change.
"Die!"
After taking another whip lash without dodging or evading, Eve finally launched her counterattack.
The crystal scales on her body seemed to possess incredible strength, and the Scarlet Whip could no longer leave any marks on them.
On all fours, like a charging beast, she leaped high after a brief sprint, her front claws tearing towards Fu Qian's chest.
Her speed and strength were almost on par with a physical-type attacker.
Reaching the intermediate stage was truly a qualitative leap!
Facing this terrifying attack, Fu Qian couldn't help but sigh.
What he sighed about even more was that this thing's brain was clearly not functioning properly anymore.
You might be close to physics, but you're facing the real deal.
Easily dodging Eve's attack, Fu Qian directly kicked her in the waist, sending her flying.
Considering his mission objective, he hadn't put too much force into that kick.
This thing shared a body with Wen Li; if she died, Wen Li would definitely die too.
He could now confirm one thing: Wen Li wasn't dead, otherwise his mission would have failed long ago.
She was most likely in a near-comatose state right now.
Eve, sent flying, rolled and landed back on all fours, staring at Fu Qian menacingly.
Her nerves are tough! She hasn't gone mad yet after so many whip lashes.
Fu Qian narrowed his eyes.
The scales must have negated the effects of the subsequent Tyrant's Fists, as Eve's condition seemed to be stabilizing.
"I might have to thank you."
Eve's voice was hoarse as it came from her throat.
"Although this isn't the way I wanted it, completing my promotion in this form might bring me unimaginable benefits."
"The weapon in your hand is interesting, but unfortunately, it's still a little short of making me lose control, haha."
"When I'm done with all this, I'll let you experience the ultimate pain and madness!"
"No need to be so polite."
After hearing Eve's threat, Fu Qian remained unfazed.
"If it's a little short, how about this?"
With blood splattering, the Scarlet Whip in his hand fiercely struck his own back.
BOOM!
A chaotic and violent killing intent surged from his heart.
"Someone once told me that she's like a mirror, able to clearly perceive and project the emotions of those around her. Will this be enough, along with mine?"
As soon as Fu Qian finished speaking, Eve let out a wail, her four limbs trembling, and she collapsed to the ground with a thud, her eyes filled with uncontrollable terror.
It seems to have worked.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Fu Qian controlled the Tyrant's Fist, continuously striking himself.
With the final whip strike, Eve let out another earth-shattering howl, the crystal scales on her body shattering piece by piece, and she completely collapsed on the ground.
Fu Qian stopped and walked over to her.
He could clearly sense that Eve's consciousness had completely disintegrated and scattered.
Next, it was time to test her willpower.
Fu Qian squatted down and brought his mouth close to her ear.
"Time's up. I'm sorry you didn't meet my requirements."
"But I've changed my mind and decided to strip Miss Wen and throw her out."
After saying it twice, Fu Qian felt an astonishing emotional fluctuation.
The beast on the ground began to breathe rapidly, waves of mental storms radiating outwards.
Fu Qian once again experienced the feeling of his emotions being amplified.
It seems to be effective!
Feeling the exaggerated joy within him, Fu Qian silently observed Wen Li's changes.
As her breathing gradually stabilized, the distortions on her body slowly receded, and the countless shattered mirrors on her skin melted away, returning to soft flesh.
After a long while, Fu Qian could hear the sounds of obstacles being cleared in the ventilation ducts. Wen Li slowly opened her eyes.
