Chapter 164: Chapter 156: Kill You, Brother Shen Ye!

Main World.

Underground of Zhongzhou City.

Hongyin Temple.

Song Yinchen had already ascended to the third floor of the temple.

Guarding this floor was a Divine Statue holding a Vajra Pestle.

When Song Yinchen appeared at the staircase entrance, the statue came to life immediately.

"Such a young member of the Song Family... why didn't you experience more, wait until your temperament is mature enough, and then come to pass my test?"

the statue asked.

"I have undergone enough trials, and now I just want to pass the test here and obtain the World Suppressing Divine Artifact," Song Yinchen said.

"With your skills, you will surely die here," the statue said.

Song Yinchen was startled and said in confusion, "I remember... I won't die in the test unless the protector dies."

"The previous levels were so, but this one is different; it tests your protector," the statue said.

"Huh?" Song Yinchen exclaimed, covering his mouth, "Why test him? He clearly has nothing to do with this!"

"The protector holds your life in his hands, how can he be irrelevant? — It is precisely your judgment in selecting people that is being tested!"

The statue raised its hand to draw the sword, slashing out a gigantic blade aura into the void where it vanished.

"This blade aura can sever a mountain."

Shaken, Song Yinchen said with a trembling voice, "You're not going to use such a move against him, are you?"

The statue's killing intent soared as it declared, "Your protector must be a person of profound knowledge. If he is lacking, this blade will cut him down!"

After finishing speaking, it reached out and grabbed into the void—

The Bio-man was pulled out.

—After wearing that plaque, even the statues here couldn't distinguish its authenticity.

"Shen Ye, listen to the question!"

the statue ordered.

The Bio-man looked at Song Yinchen, then at the big knife in the statue's hand, and listened attentively.

"A cow faces north while standing and turns around on the spot, which way is its tail pointing?" the statue asked.

"South!" Song Yinchen whispered in the Bio-man's ear.

"Downward," the Bio-man said.

"Correct answer!" said the statue.

"..." Song Yinchen.

"When does a clock not work?" the statue questioned again.

"It's out of battery," Song Yinchen hinted.

"A clock doesn't walk at all, it hasn't got legs or wheels," the Bio-man stated.

"Correct answer!" declared the statue.

"..." Song Yinchen.

"..." the Bio-man.

"Brother, you answer yourself, I've put you in danger twice just now."

Song Yinchen covered his face and went to sit silently to one side.

"Recite Pi to the hundredth decimal place," the statue raised its big knife.

The Bio-man, with a calm demeanor, began to recite, effortlessly surpassing three hundred places.

"..." the Divine Statue.

"May I ask if there are any more tests?" the Bio-man inquired.

"That shouldn't be..." the statue murmured quietly.

"Please, do not speak carelessly, you are underestimating my intelligence, I can sue you for slander and PUA," the Bio-man stated.

"Next, I'll randomly select a problem—78,956 multiplied by 6,245, you have—"

"493080220," the Bio-man interrupted.

"..." the statue.

"...so strong," Song Yinchen muttered dazedly.

"You may go back now; you're no longer needed here," the statue gestured.

The Bio-man vanished with a "whoosh."

"The questions just now were too difficult!" Song Yinchen protested angrily.

"...You've passed, let's not quibble over it," said the statue.

It stepped back and returned to the high platform, motionless.

Song Yinchen passed by it and continued towards the stairs to the next floor above.

—Those questions just now really were tough!

How could Brother Shen Ye answer so quickly?

A few minutes later.

On the first floor of the temple.

Song Qingyun had been waiting for a while but saw no sign of Shen Ye. Your next read awaits at m v|l-e'-NovelFire.net

After a brief contemplation, her lips curled sarcastically as she spoke to herself:

"A bit of cunning, but in matters of life and death, you don't dare to stand up, do you?"

"After all, people cherish their lives."

"—But do you think you can escape?"

Her slender jade hand lifted and slowly formed a Spell Seal.

The technique was complete!

Beams of light shot out like shooting stars, continuous and relentless, as if imbued with life force, they plunged into the darkness and raced to find Shen Ye's whereabouts.

In just a few seconds.

Song Qingyun's gaze flickered, she hummed lowly:

"Since you are still alive."

"She won't die either."

"—For that World Suppressing Divine Artifact, it's best if you both just died!"

Song Qingyun moved, crossing the dark skies, and instantly arrived at Shen Ye's original location.

—Shen Ye had already left.

Standing here now was the single combat Biochemical Avatar.

The single combat Biochemical Avatar—

Or rather, at this moment it was Shen Ye, it slightly furrowed its brows and said:

"I have been very patient, what else do you want to do?"

"To kill you, Brother Shen Ye," Song Qingyun said with a smile.

"Kill me..."

"Shen Ye" remembered his master's instruction and nodded, "It seems you are just the lowly sort."

Lowly?

Song Qingyun did not get angry, but actually nodded:

"Indeed, I shouldn't have toyed with you all excessively."

"That was my fault."

"But you also have faults—"

She watched Shen Ye, her gaze for the first time flickering like water ripples in a breeze.

"All these years, you haven't grown at all, completely unable to stand shoulder to shoulder with me."

"For me to have been saved by someone so mediocre..."

"You might as well be dead."

She held the Red Blade horizontally.

The blade opened one vertical pupil after another, neatly lined up in a row, nine in total.

Boom—

A surge of malevolent energy erupted from the long blade.

She cocked her head, asking with a curious tone:

"Brother Shen Ye, you have never experienced such high-level strength in your life, have you?"

"Are you scared now?"

"Shen Ye" felt the intense fluctuations emanating from the blade, remembering Shen Ye's words once again.

"Once someone acts lowly, beat them hard for me, understand?"

"Understood, Master—but what if I can't beat them?"

"Improvise."

What kind of improvisation was required for a situation where he couldn't win?

Got it!

"Shen Ye" took a step forward, charging towards Song Qingyun.

In an instant. Sёarᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The nine pupils on the Red Blade all focused on him at once.

"Shen Ye" couldn't move.

The long blade pierced his body, decapitating his head and sending it flying.

She turned to leave, but her footsteps slowed down and finally stopped.

That body.

The boy's corpse lay at her feet.

It was he who had saved her back then.

She had always hoped...

That he could become a different person, ascending rapidly, finally to meet with her.

But he was so ordinary.

Song Qingyun closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and expelled the emotions from within her.

"Hahaha!"

She suddenly burst into hearty, liberating laughter, her body relaxed as she loudly declared:

"What's past is past!"

"—In consideration of our past acquaintance, I made sure this blow was decisive!"

She resumed her stride, vanishing from the cave in one step.

Zhongzhou City.

In the sky.

Floating Island.

Song Qingyun appeared directly in the pavilion beside the Lotus Pond.

"Father."

She held the blood-dripping long blade, bowing to the man seated in the pavilion.

The man looked down at the tea leaves floating in his cup, saying:

"The thirty-six associated noble families who rely on our Song Family have all gathered, waiting for us to announce that matter, you will come with me."

"No rush, Father," Song Qingyun smiled, "I have something to tell you."

"What is it?"

"I killed Sister."

The man briefly startled, his eyeballs rolling around in their sockets before he slammed the table and exclaimed:

"Why resort to such extremes! She was just an ordinary person, killing her would saddle you with an unsavory reputation!"

Song Qingyun tilted her head, looking at him:

"Father also wanted to kill her, didn't he?"

"I—how could I want to kill my own child, Qingyun, what are you talking about!"

"But I remember when you sent us to the Shen Family for the New Year, almost causing us to die, wasn't that you, dear Father?"

"I was deceived by your stepmother!"

The man's tone softened: "After I found out, didn't I harshly punish her?"

"The accomplice is indeed detestable, but the real mastermind is you, dear father," Song Qingyun said.

"It wasn't me!"

"Then why did Mother commit suicide?"

"She was grievously ill and did not want to live any longer! That wasn't my fault!"

"No, you are her killer."

Song Qingyun's eyes twinkled with mirth as she casually continued:

"As someone who can manipulate memories, it's easy to deduce the truth from you all."

"—In the recent years, I've even discovered something only the head of the family would know."

The long blade was held horizontally.

The nine vertical pupils were fixated on the man.

Song Qingyun no longer looked at her father but spoke to herself:

"I know the secret—"

"When only one person of the Song Family's bloodline is left, the Divine Artifact will forcibly activate, protecting her growth, trying to ensure the continuation of the Song Family."

"Sister's protector was slain by me, and he had her longevity lock, thus Sister also died."

"Now the only one left eligible to fight for the Divine Artifact is you."

"—You may as well die too."
