You are not His Highness!
This statement came so abruptly that most of the people present didn't even have time to react.
Chen Qing also looked astonished.
who?
Bai Hua suddenly turned fierce, as he tried to find the person in the crowd who would expose him.
But with that fierce look, the people surrounding them were so frightened that they took several steps back in an instant.
Bai Hua's face remained unchanged, still resembling Ziyue. Ziyue's original appearance was a bloody and grotesque mess, but this grotesqueness was nothing to those present. However, this time was different. Although her face hadn't changed, her aura had shifted dramatically.
An indescribable terror was revealed as the other party's ferocity became fully apparent. A fear ingrained in their genes sent a shiver down everyone's spine, including the war priest, who was instantly frightened and took several steps back.
Chen Qing also subconsciously took a few steps back.
He felt it too; his body trembled involuntarily, a fear ingrained in his genes.
This kind of thing is very common in this world. Most races pass on their lineage through genetic inheritance. What is inherited is not only racial inheritance, but also the experiences of some ancestors. This also leads to some fears about certain things being passed down through genes.
The more terrifying the ancestors' experiences, the clearer the legacy becomes. And this time, it is probably the clearest one for many Ancient Demon.
Even the war priest, who was extremely experienced, was incredibly surprised. In all his years of life, he had never seen anything that could terrify him so much. He felt every hair on his body stiffen at that moment.
This fear is different from being overwhelmed by strength; it is a simple fear of a species.
At that moment, almost everyone believed the person who had shouted from the shadows; the person before them was definitely not Princess Ziyue!
Chen Qing retreated to the back almost immediately, coldly observing the other party's next reaction.
Bai Hua was slightly taken aback. Looking at the fearful eyes of the people around him, he immediately realized that he had given himself away.
But why is that?
Why was he caught just because he said one wrong thing? Are the Ancient Demon Clan really that cautious and clever?
Seeing the other's confused expression, Chen Qing finally realized that this was a Bai Hua that had just been released, not the worst-case scenario she had imagined.
Deciphering the opponent's weaknesses can be tricky, but it's actually quite simple once you understand them. Its ability to manipulate emotions isn't just directed at others; it also targets itself. It's like a domain, amplifying everyone's emotions, especially negative ones, around it.
So when it gets a little scared, its guilty conscience and the feeling of being exposed will immediately amplify, and it will reveal its true colors.
The Outer Heaven Demon Statue all share a common characteristic: they possess a genetic advantage that is at a dimensional reduction level over all living beings. Apart from humans, any other creature will experience a genetic fear when facing them.
This is related to the background of the fourth version, because most of the so-called myriad races are actually refugees. The reason they drift in the void is because their own homeland was destroyed by the Outer Heaven Demon Statue long ago. Those who survived are species with excellent inheritance. And because their inheritance is too complete, they also inherited the fear of being destroyed by the golems.
Chen Qing looked at his trembling hands and tried to calm himself down. Humans should be the most immune to the fear of golems among all races. After all, the human world has not been destroyed by golems, and very few people in this world have seen golems.
Theoretically speaking, I shouldn't be afraid.
But for some reason, my body is having a strong reaction. Could it be that my ancestors won the lottery and encountered a demon? The key is that they survived and had descendants?
That's pretty awesome!
Before he could think any further, Bai Hua, who could no longer keep up the act, rose up. With a change in his body, he immediately reverted to his previous appearance, his entire body turning black and white like ink on paper. A yin-yang mask covered his face, but it still couldn't contain his terrifying rage!
Who is it?
At this moment, it still couldn't understand why it had been exposed.
Even if a single slip of the tongue deviated from Ziyue's usual personality, it shouldn't have been enough to make her recognized immediately, right?
What exactly happened?
Can't guess who it is?
A familiar voice reached his ears, and he immediately locked onto the person through the sound. It was none other than Chen Qing.
"You"
Chen Qing smiled, took out a bubble, and popped it. Instantly, the bubble emitted the same angry voice as before. "You are not His Highness!!"
"Forehead"
At this moment, the surrounding Ancient Demon army was stunned. They were also wondering who it was that had seen through the disguise of this ghost so quickly, but they did not expect that it was something that Chen Qing had planned from the beginning.
"You were like that from the very beginning."
"Yes," Chen Qing answered bluntly, "I knew from the beginning that you weren't Ziyue."
"Why?" Bai Hua forced down her anger and asked with difficulty.
It was curious; why did this guy immediately assume it wasn't?
Chen Qing looked at the other person's earnest thirst for knowledge and curled her lip. "Because you acted stupidly."
Just kidding, telling the truth would be crazy. How could he possibly tell everyone that he wouldn't be influenced by the other person?
"You deserve to die!" Bai Hua could no longer contain her anger. She tore open her mouth, creating a gigantic maw that resembled a monster emerging from a painting, and swallowed Chen Qing whole.
Meanwhile, everyone in the World in the Painting sensed the unusual activity around them.
The emperor looked around. The world in the painting was no longer as calm as before; instead, it was boiling like water. The terrifying heat made him slightly uncomfortable, but he was secretly delighted and said with a smile, "Looks like your trump card isn't so great after all."
The King of Qin remained silent, his expression grim, staring intently at Chen Qing outside.
This guy not only isn't affected by Bai Hua's memory, but he also seems to have information about Bai Hua.
Could this guy really be Pu Yunchuan? But he isn't.
Just then, the teapot beside him suddenly exploded, and everything around him began to melt and rage from the boiling. The King of Qin cursed under his breath, calling it a fool, and immediately stood up to look around. It seemed that this World in the Painting was about to collapse.
On the other side, Ziyue also sensed the anomaly in the World in the Painting.
So that's how it is. I wasn't being ignored by those around me; rather, I was being isolated in another world.
Now that Chen Qing has broken the monster's mentality, I might be able to find a chance to escape, but where is the exit from here?
"Don't be so smug. You will die here, and then I will become you, and then kill everyone who trusted you!"
"Don't bother with this kind of low-level intimidation," Chen Qing rolled her eyes. "Besides, you can't replace anyone right now."
At this moment, the other person may not even have realized that his body was boiling like water.
The ability to Bai Hua is terrifying, but that ability requires calming the mind and body. An artist who wants to imitate this world needs patience and meticulousness, and must carefully outline every detail to make it look like the real thing.
An artist who is emotionally broken down cannot do this.
Chen Qing knew that the other party's emotions had collapsed at this moment, and the amplified negative emotions would cause all the energy in the World in the Painting to boil and be transformed into the energy of anger.
Bizarre abilities can quickly turn into absolute violence.
But Chen Qing wasn't afraid of this. Boiling ink was a double-edged sword; it was powerful, but if used improperly, it could be a deadly poison that killed him.
This might be the best chance to kill this guy!
