"Ahhhhh!!!"
Su Jinyu clutched her head, letting out a scream of agony. The runes on her body completely lost control, and under gravityâs influence, she plummeted downward.
At this moment, Chu Xiu was not averse to lending a hand. With a thought, the Flying Corpse effortlessly caught Su Jinyu.
However, just as she landed on the Flying Corpseâs back, Chu Xiu seemed to notice something, letting out a light "hmm" in surprise.
He sensed that Su Jinyuâs brain seemed to be undergoing some peculiar transformation. The enormous life force from the Resurrection Wine appeared to be devoured by something, depleting rapidly!
"The first drop of Resurrection Wine repaired Su Jinyuâs long-damaged brain and soul, allowing her to use her talent once more."
"Since her loss has been repaired, whatâs consuming this life force now?"
After a brief contemplation, Chu Xiu spread his Divine Sense to envelop Su Jinyu, cautiously probing the changes around her.
As the feedback from his Divine Sense came in, Chu Xiu showed surprise once more. He actually felt that the special power in Su Jinyuâs brain was currently fusing with her!
"Could this girl really replicate the Ancient God Relic?" Chu Xiu thought in astonishment.
But almost the instant this thought arose, Su Jinyu suddenly opened her tightly closed eyes!
Her eyes had no pupils, only whites spanning the entire eyeball. Looking at those eerie eyes, Chu Xiu felt a chill sweep up his spine.
Before he could react, green lines surfaced on Su Jinyuâs face. The next moment, her left hand formed a knife, sharp nails extending from her fingertips. Her arm bent at an inhuman angle, then slashed toward Chu Xiuâs throat like a lightning-fast dagger!
"Clang!"
As Su Jinyuâs hand knife struck Chu Xiuâs throat, a deafening metallic collision erupted. The immense impact shattered her steel-hard nails into pieces, while not diminishing the impactâs force, which shattered the bones in her right hand completely.
"Roar!"
Su Jinyu let out a beast-like roar, her left hand clenching, a pained expression on her face.
Chu Xiu watched her, somewhat speechless. Regardless of what creature was currently controlling Su Jinyuâs consciousness, it was clearly overestimating itself.
However, the intense pain seemed to restore a sliver of reason to Su Jinyu. Her eyeballs managed to shift down slightly, just enough to vaguely reveal a hint of black pupils.
"Hel..."
She could only squeeze out a word from her throat before her eyes rolled back, losing control of her body again.
"Roar!"
In the next instant, Su Jinyuâs figure vanished, reappearing behind Chu Xiu, with her intact hand thrusting at the back of his neck just like before, only this time, enveloped in a strange black glow!
"Hmm, the speed has indeed increased quite a bit."
Chu Xiu slightly tilted his head, calmly evading the strike.
Although he did not look back, his Divine Sense had enveloped his surroundings; Su Jinyuâs every move was under his control.
Seeing the completely irrational Su Jinyu, Chu Xiu chuckled, "Alright then, this time Iâll be the good guy to the end. After all, Iâm quite curious about your situation too."
As his words fell, Chu Xiuâs originally black pupils suddenly turned an emperor-like majestic pale gold!
Under the gaze of those golden eyes, Su Jinyu seemed to freeze in place, terror and incredulity appearing on her previously violent and frantic face!
She let out a low roar as the green lines on her body extended rapidly like vines from her neck, covering her face in an instant, emitting an eerie green glow!
"Roar!"
Following a sharp roar, Su Jinyu seemed to break free from Chu Xiuâs suppression, charging at him again. Her previously broken nails regrew, even sturdier than before!
"Oh? Using this body, you can withstand thirty percent of my Burning Blood Golden Eyesâ power?" Chu Xiuâs expression turned a bit serious.
Su Jinyu was merely Fierce Tier, a B-Level Profession. Her physical and spiritual basic attributes were not high, which was one reason she hadnât become a Celestial Kingâs Disciple despite having SS-Class talent.
Even just thirty percent of Chu Xiuâs Burning Blood Golden Eyesâ power would suffice to suppress typical King Tier entities. To still have the capacity to struggle meant the unidentified consciousness manipulating Su Jinyu was significant.
Gazing at the hand blade stabbing toward him, Chu Xiu no longer held back. His eyes sparkled with golden light, and Su Jinyu instantly let out a miserable scream, collapsing onto the Flying Corpse like she was crushed by a thousand tons, her face twisted in pain!
She howled and struggled madly, unable to lift a single finger!
If there were an Awakened skilled in Soul Technique, they would have discovered a golden flame wrapping Su Jinyuâs soul. As the flame burned, a black shadow continuously twisted, seemingly on the verge of obliteration!
Suddenly, the shadow swelled, screeching, "Stop! If you dare destroy my clone, I wonât spare..."
Before finishing, Chu Xiuâs eyes narrowed slightly, an even more intense sunlight-like golden light surged, extinguishing the shadow in an instant.
"Thud."
Severely burned, Su Jinyu fell to the ground as thick white smoke rose from her body.
Though Chu Xiuâs main power targeted the shadow, even the sparse residual flames were more than enough for Su Jinyu to endure.
