"This is."
Su Changqing was still completely bewildered, but White Plain immediately recognized the red insect as the source of the malevolent aura emanating from Chen Yun.
Although it had been stripped away, the boundless malevolent aura still remained, and could still bring White Plain that deep-seated sense of crisis.
Yes, that's it!
But how did this little guy do that? What just happened?
What did they miss while they closed their eyes?
Actually, if the people on the outside knew what White Plain was thinking, they would definitely complain. Even if you open your eyes, you might not be able to see what's going on. At least, they couldn't see it.
"Um, Brother Chen, did you see it clearly?"
The head of the Nie Family family approached Chen Baifeng and asked.
Nie Youyun lost to Chen Yun before. Although he didn't die, he was seriously injured and it will probably take some time for him to recover. The most important thing is that his son was not defeated by strength, but by some kind of cheating.
Now that Chen Yun has been turned against by that cheating device and become a puppet, the Nie Family is gloating.
Chen Baifeng shook his head. "Even I can't figure it out. Young people these days are getting more and more terrifying."
"Indeed." The elder of the Nie Family sneered, "To show off for a moment, they dare to use any secret weapon. They forgot to ask Brother Chen what exactly that thing on their nephew's body is?"
Chen Baifeng was speechless. To talk about that thing, he had to start with his spendthrift wife.
Seeing her Laosi's reputation growing ever greater while her Laoda continued to fall behind due to his mediocre talent, she felt resentful. So she went to the South Sea Dragon King to inquire if there was a way to change her son's talent. To her surprise, the old Dragon King actually gave her a solution, which was the so-called ancient stone.
He immediately sensed something was wrong; what in this world could change one's inherent nature?
Chen Yun did indeed undergo a complete transformation after using that thing. His wife was too excited, and he didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm. He thought that if there were any side effects and his wife felt sorry for the child, he would find an opportunity to take the thing back. He just didn't expect that the effect to be so rapid.
Now it seems that the Dragon King's recommendation of this was definitely not out of good intentions.
When we get back, we'll have to seriously think about how to deal with that thing in the South Sea!
Chen Baifeng suddenly felt a chill in his heart. For this Celestial Master election, the entire family had mobilized, both the younger and older generations, all of whom were elites. Although there were many people left in the family,
Thinking about it this way, Chen Baifeng felt increasingly uneasy.
" Lord Chen, there's no need to worry." Chen Qing, noticing Chen Baifeng's pale face, said in a low voice, "I've already sent word to Jiangnan, ordering people to investigate the situation in the South Sea. If there are any unusual developments, they will notify us immediately."
Chen Baifeng was taken aback and looked at Chen Qing. None of the family elders around him reacted; they were all still scheming against each other. Yet Chen Qing, as an outsider, was able to so keenly perceive his unease. He had only ever felt this kind of insight from the Emperor and the Duke of Song.
"Thank you, King of Qin Highness."
"You're welcome. I'm also quite curious about that thing on your body, young master," Chen Qing said honestly.
Unsealing Ancient Demon prematurely could disrupt the balance. According to Kagura, they had already eradicated one, but it seems there are still some in the South Sea. If there's one, could there be two?
Chen Baifeng is currently out of town. If things go wrong, there are quite a few dragon blood hosts like Chen Yun in the South Sea!
What did you do?
Within the fragmented space in Yun Ke'er's hand, the red insect's voice was hoarse, filled with disbelief, astonishment, and anger!
It had been sealed within the insect egg for countless ages, its genetic memory accumulating endless resentment towards its own kind. After such torment, it finally found suitable flesh and blood, and was about to succeed, taking its first step, only to be defeated by a human child?
Are you kidding me?
"Huh, this bug can talk?" Yun Ke'er was full of surprise. This kind of bug that can control the human body must be a Gu bug. Shen Qi had taught her that bugs have powerful talents, so their upper limit is suppressed by heaven and earth. In particular, their brains are extremely simple, making them very easy to be controlled by people with magic. That's why there is a branch called bug sorcerer.
She had always thought that the thing on this big guy's body was a curse worm that someone had planted on him.
"You lowly human!" the insect hissed hoarsely, "What have you done?"
"You disgusting bug, do you even understand what I, a genius, am saying?" Yun Ke'er glared at the other person.
White Plain struggled to her feet and looked at the fragments, saying, "You didn't use the same method you used to save me to catch it, did you?"
Yun Ke'er glanced at the other person, then gave a forced expression. "It seems you are a little bit smarter."
Is that really true?
White Plain's eyes were filled with shock. The other party had explained that their formation could sever a portion of space. If it followed the same method the other party used to save her, directly severing the insect and Chen Yun seemed not impossible. However...
"Can your technique directly cut through the human body?" White Plain asked, taking a breath. If so, wouldn't she be invincible?
"No." Yun Ke'er shook her head. "Theoretically, spatial cutting can cut the human body, but for some reason, we've experimented countless times and just can't directly cut off living things, or even a whole inanimate object. The more solid the inanimate object, the harder it is to cut. The specific principle is still under investigation."
"If that's the case, how did you cut him?"
"This insect is a bit special." Yun Ke'er glanced at the insect and said, "It resides on that big guy's chest. They seem closely connected, but in reality, they are linked together by some kind of Blood Spell. Its own body is not actually connected to the host. In this case, cutting it is very simple. Blood Spell is one of the topics I research. Its energy structure is simple, especially its Blood Spell, which is very crude. As a magic formula, a spatial magic formula can naturally cut other magic formulas, just like I can isolate flames."
"I see!" White Plain understood immediately. This spatial technique cannot directly cut living things, and it is also difficult to cut inanimate objects. If the inanimate object is too hard or has a complex composition, it is also difficult to cut.
Conversely, the structure of the surgical technique is loose, unlike the compact structure of an object, which allows for easy cutting.
That's interesting. No one has ever taught me these things. It seems I'll have to visit that Jiangnan Academy sometime.
"This thing alone can make Chen Yun so ferocious?" Su Changqing approached, still somewhat apprehensive as he looked at the insect within the fragment. Being sealed by a spatial fragment meant the insect wasn't particularly powerful, so why was its aura so terrifying?
"I don't know either." Yun Ke'er shook her head. "I separated him from that big guy just to save people first. I didn't expect that once the insect was separated from its host, it was like a deflated balloon, its energy shrinking drastically. So I simply sealed it in the fragment."
"I have another question," White Plain said.
"Huh?" Yun Ke'er looked at White Plain. The other party had a lot of questions, but she didn't mind. That's how it is in the academy. If you don't understand, just ask. She was used to this way of communicating. On the contrary, she didn't like those scions of noble families who would subtly hint at things.
"This cutting method requires precise aiming, right? Just like when a person cuts an object, they need to aim precisely, right? That thing was moving at high speed just now, how did you cut it?"
"Good question!" Yun Ke'er smiled smugly, "Cutting something that moves at high speed requires arithmetic. I know exactly how big my space is. The other party seems to have a way to identify where the spatial entrance is, so they always use the highest speed without stopping. Every time I change the exit, the other party can immediately rush towards the new exit. After a few times, I can calculate its precise speed, so I just need to find the right time and cut in advance, like this."
Yun Ke'er drew an arc-shaped blade in the sky, and then a leaf fell, immediately being sliced in two.
White Plain stared blankly. Fallen leaves are inanimate objects and not hard, so they can be cut by space. But the leaf had crashed into it on its own. The other person's analogy was that Chen Yun was like this leaf, who crashed into it on its own under pre-planned circumstances, and was therefore cut.
But Ye Zi is so slow, Chen Yun is so fast.
No, regardless of speed, as long as it's planned in advance, Chen Yun and this leaf are no different!
That's amazing!!!
White Plain realized what was happening and became even more alarmed. She had never imagined that combat could be done this way since birth.
Not only was she surprised, but Su Changqing, who was standing next to her, was also completely dumbfounded.
At this moment, the family members on the periphery also swallowed hard, as they could be said to have all been given a solid lesson by this little girl from Jiangnan!
At this moment, all the family elders made up their minds. It seems that from now on, divination will be a compulsory course for the family!
