Chapter 1322: Kill Xie Longyun

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“As long as you’re in my space, you might not be able to defeat me, even if you’ve broken into level-eight already, not to mention that you’re only a level-seven one who attempted to strengthen herself with the drug. Don’t you think that you’ve been underestimating level-eight beings a little too much?” With a faint smile, Lin Qiao looked at Xie Longyun, who was still vomiting blood.

Lin Qiao was a level-eight being, a zombie emperor, but Si Kongchen sent a mere level-seven one to kill her. What could possibly happen even if the woman managed to bring herself into level-eight using the drug? Not even Si Kongchen himself, who was a real level-eight being, could guarantee winning a face-to-face fight against her, let alone killing her.

“Ehhhh…” The energy provided by the drug failed to break into the energy nucleus in Xie Longyun’s brain because Lin Qiao blocked it earlier. As a result, the energy of the drug got stuck in her heart and erupted from there. So, Xie Longyun’s heart was already damaged as of now. Not only her heart, but her liver and lungs had nearly shattered under the energy explosion as well. That was why she kept vomiting blood without being able to talk.

Xie Longyun was so shocked that her brain wasn’t even working at the moment. She couldn’t have imagined that Lin Qiao possessed such kind of power. The latter was stronger than she imagined by two or three times!

Her internal organs were damaged severely, but that wasn’t the worst thing. At the moment, the energy released from her heart by the drug had been surging all over her body, because it wasn’t able to enter her brain. That energy was strong enough to expand her muscles, bones, and veins.

“Ehhhh-hem… Ahhhhhh…” In a few seconds, Xie Longyun fell on the ground and curled up before rolling in pain. Her body started to expand and shift shape. Like Popeye, her arms and legs grew thicker; rock-like muscles bulged from her slender legs, soon bursting her clothing.

Those clothes were still hanging on her body but failed to cover the vital parts.

Looking at her, Lin Qiao had her mouth corners twitching slightly. ‘Oh my, this is hurtful for my eyes!’

After making a few rolls on the ground, Xie Longyun propped up her body with her distorted limbs. Without seeing her undamaged face, one might think that she was a mutated beast! That face of hers was also a little scary though, as it was covered in blood and bulging veins, looking hideous.

“Hrrrr… Hrrr…” She hunched her back and slowly stood up.

“Hehe… It’s the drug’s effect, but I grew strong anyway. How I did that doesn’t matter… as long as I can grow strong in the end. You said you’re ruling this space, bring it on then!” Xie Longyun bared her even teeth, which were covered in blood, and glared at Lin Qiao as she spoke with a creepy grin. After that, she abruptly wielded a hand toward her waist bag, which had fallen to the ground. Following her movement, the bag flew into her hand.

As she grabbed the bag and shook it hard, some small pieces fell out of it—some round and some angular. Xie Longyun clenched her fingers toward those small pieces, which flew into her hand and were held by her within a blink. In the next second, she threw them at Lin Qiao.

Lin Qiao waved an arm to release a stream of dark fire toward those small metal pieces that were flying at her. In the meantime, she disappeared without a trace.

Puff! Puff! Puff! Those small metal pieces didn’t get blocked by Lin Qiao’s fire. Instead, they flew through the fire and descended toward where she was standing earlier, sinking into the ground.

“Come out! Why are you hiding? Aren’t you so confident? Come out! Come out!” As Lin Qiao disappeared, Xie Longyun’s face grew twisted while the white parts of her eyes had turned blood-red. She made a circle and scanned the surrounding area with her eyes but failed to see anything.

“No. I don’t want to see you now. You look so unpleasant to the eyes. Should I give you a mirror to let you see yourself? I think even those mutated beasts out there are cuter than you!” Lin Qiao’s voice was heard from all directions.

Before Xie Longyun said a word, she continued with, “Besides, I can kill you without showing my face.”

“Ahhhhh!” On hearing her words, Xie Longyun quickly dropped her head to glance at her own body. In the next moment, she popped her red eyes and uttered a scream as she shrank her arms and legs and covered her chest and crotch area with her hands.

The moment she panicked, the dark fire before her, which hadn’t disappeared yet, suddenly grew stronger and came for her. Seeing that, she gave a start. Covering her chest and crotch area, she stepped backward in a flurry, even forgetting to defend herself and only drawing back to dodge.

She was, of course, not as fast as the black fire. In the next second, she was surrounded by the fire and wrapped up within.

Lin Qiao showed up at that very moment. She stood on a tree as she reached out both arms and pressed her hands down toward the dark fire.

“Ahhhhh!” Xie Longyun’s hoarse scream was heard from the dark fire, and then she started darting about along with it.

Under Lin Qiao’s control, the dark fire stuck tightly to her body. Earlier on, she caused the energy in her heart to explode using the power of her space, and as a result, her original energy was stuck in her brain without being able to flow to the best part of her body. So currently, she wasn’t able to turn her skin into metal to stop Lin Qiao’s dark fire from devouring the energy generated by the drug and her skin, blood, and flesh.

The fire burned her body, causing her a severe pain that made her screech hoarsely.

All of a sudden, Lin Qiao moved her feet and flew toward Xie Longyun. Soon, she reached out and sank a hand of hers into the latter’s chest, nailing her to a tree and disabling her from moving.

“Ehhh…” Xie Longyun looked at Lin Qiao, stunned. Slowly, she turned her eyes from the latter’s face to her hand, which was inside her chest, which was penetrated. With slight confusion, she raised her head and looked at the latter again as she murmured, “You… you…”

Lin Qiao coldly pulled her hand out of Xie Yunlong’s chest, holding a beating heart. In the dimly illuminated space, one could still see the blood dripping from her hand.

“I told you that I can kill you without showing my face, but this heart of yours seems to be useful for me,” Lin Qiao looked at the heart, which slowly stopped beating, and then she glanced at Xie Longyun.

Xie Longyun still had her eyes fixed on Lin Qiao’s hand. The black, sharp nails of that hand put a shocked look on her face.
