Chapter 228
Chapter 228
This courtyard door is quite sturdy. I wonder whether it was built like a city gate to prevent these seemingly half-dead women from escaping. If that’s the case, they’re really overestimating them.
Faced with a barrage of arrows, the woman in the rocking chair still sleeps soundly. Even an arrow lands an inch from her head, and she doesn’t even turn over.
Up until now, Chen Muxue hasn’t seen anyone else inside the courtyard. She’s beginning to wonder if there’s anyone else here at all. After all, such a commotion would have caused screams everywhere in any courtyard.
It’s also possible these women don’t even have the energy to scream.
These women were clearly harmed by something related to the Demon Clan; otherwise, the Black Qi wouldn’t have flourished here. Having read part of the original book, Chen Muxue knows that Black Qi belongs to the Demon Clan, but both Demon Clan and Immortal Sect only appeared after the original character’s death, so she doesn’t know much beyond that.
Now, the key is how Chen Muxue can escape the current predicament?
The skyward direction is definitely not feasible, but the ground and surrounding walls can be a form of protection for Chen Muxue. The arrows shot by the archers can still be blocked in such circumstances.
Moreover, there are extraordinarily high walls all around, with the only door being pounded "bang bang" from the outside. Four fainted guards have been knocked off the door panel by the impact, scattered aside, and the gap that opens with each strike is growing larger.
"Why isn’t the damn sky striking me now?" Chen Muxue grumbles while holding up a frying pan as her shield.
Who would’ve expected that no sooner had she spoken, the sky suddenly swirled with wind and cloud, the previously clear sky swiftly covered by clouds emerging out of nowhere!
"What the heck, did my little mouth bring this about?" Chen Muxue is taken aback. "But I’m only a Golden Core Stage Fifth Rank; surely I can’t advance so suddenly?"
Every action seemed influenced by the celestial abnormality, causing everyone to pause, including those pounding on the door.
Silence. Complete silence, as if a storm is about to hit, seemingly causing the air to stall for a couple of seconds.
"Roar!"
"Boom!"
An upheaval of people surges at the door—literally surges—as many are struck skyward by something, some even soaring above the exaggeratedly tall walls.
Chen Muxue pinches herself, confirming it’s not a dream.
The city gate-like excessively thick door is effortlessly smashed into pieces, with bits scattered so widely that it’s clear metal was sealed in the middle layer!
No wonder the Chu Family soldiers couldn’t budge it despite all their efforts; it’s like setting a trap for one’s own people!
But what exactly managed to shatter such a terrifying door so easily?
The next second, amid the smoke and debris, Chen Muxue can’t help pinching herself again.
Pain, so painful!
It’s not due to her own pinching but rather a sudden heavy blow she received!
As her body is flung into the air, Chen Muxue seems to see a white-haired, bearded old European man holding a cross in one hand and reaching out to her, while hearing "dum dum dum dum-dum..."
Oh, spit, you’re in the wrong jurisdiction. Shouldn’t Black and White Impermanence be coming for me?
Chen Muxue feels something swing her violently, causing her body to flip in the air and land on something, experiencing a sensation of cold, smooth material with a few strands whisked by the wind onto her face.
What the heck is this?!
