Chapter 594 - 384: The Second Persona, Absolute Compulsion!
Chapter 384
Chapter 384
————————
Gong Jiu and his people were more than familiar with Sui Yi’s second personality; they would say the normal Sui Yi was their goddess, occasionally still exuding a human touch, but the Sui Yi under the influence of the second personality... was a deity.
If she wasn’t a deity, where else would that cold, domineering aura come from? Or the fight power to instantly obliterate bosses, or the imposing gaze that silenced an entire room!
At this moment, Sui Yi stood there, with one hand grasping the Demon Que Sword. Complex patterns flowed on the sword as if it was alive. The earthworms near the spot where the sword’s tip touched seemed to be frightened and scrambled away, not even bothering to infest the others...
This was also the first time Fatso and the others had seen Sui Yi in her second personality state. How to put it? The goddess was already awesome, but now she became incredibly formidable!
She definitely had the presence that could destroy the whole universe and save the Milky Way... (That doesn’t seem quite right).
Sui Yi didn’t look at the others, but with one step, she moved as if shrinking the ground beneath her into inches. In the blink of an eye, she was beside Gong Jiu. Expressionless, she extended a finger and flicked, releasing a burst of energy from her fingertip, which she touched on three acupoints near Gong Jiu’s heart. Then, she left her behind and turned to face the oncoming assault by Second Master Gong...
With a palm sweeping through the air, Second Master Gong was also stopped mid-flight by a touch from Sui Yi’s Demon Que Sword on his chest. The Demon Que Sword was slender and delicate, its tip drawing a drop of blood. It was as if the sword suspended him in midair, then danced across his chest, slicing back and forth. These movements, Mount Mover and his men found somewhat familiar...
In the tomb chamber of the Double Burial mother and son, Mount Mover remembered her writing with blood from the sword, but it was nothing like the marvel she exhibited at this moment...
It was as if a deity was swiftly inscribing a landscape masterpiece with a stroke of a brush.
What was she inscribing now?
Hum!
The sword sang out for a moment, its blood congealing on his forehead.
Then, Second Master Gong opened his mouth and spat out something oily and green, about the size of a palm. At first glance, it resembled a child’s head...
The head hit the ground and suddenly bounced up, landing on a person... It was the Corpse Hover, attaching itself to his chest. It quickly integrated into the flesh like a lump, the rotten skin on the surface peeled away swiftly, the lump undulating as it moved to his neck...
A broad neck?
The Corpse Hover turned and ran...
"It’s Green Head," the young man furrowed his brows even more deeply.
When Mount Mover heard this, he exclaimed in astonishment, "Green Head? Could it be the extremely Yin-severed head that spawns the Green Ghost of Qing Tou? Legend has it that a single Green Head requires a thousand severed heads to ferment... Little ghosts devouring each other, until at last they transform into a single Green Head."
This old man really was knowledgeable... Everyone present was astonished, and the young man also glanced his way.
Without caring about the Corpse Hover or the others, Sui Yi drew the Compass with a flick from the fainted Second Master Gong in his embrace.
With a slap of the Sword Edge, the Compass fell on Gong Jiu’s chest, where Second Master Gong had previously stabbed her with a knife.
The Demon Que Sword touched the core of the compass, and Sui Yi crouched down, her finger dipped in Gong Jiu’s blood, drawing characters on the compass...
What was she doing?
"It kind of looks like she’s performing an oath... like for a soul’s deliverance," Fatso had just finished speaking when, smack! Flower Demon slapped his head.
"Shut up!"
Fatso, who was terrified of seductive yet poisonous women like Flower Demon, immediately clammed up.
But... someone softly recited a phrase.
"Witch, witchcraft..."
It was Mount Mover who recited it.
The monster roared, a sound so disquieting... not daring to move, yet filled with restlessness...
However, suddenly... everyone was shocked!
Because the compass... melted.
"Oh my god."
"Is that a Tightening Spell? One that can change the form of metal?"
"A Transforming Gold Compass?"
Sui Yi stood up and walked towards the coffin...
Actually, towards the young man and Yi.
For Sui Yi at this moment, the reactions of these two were very strange. The former had his brows tightly knitted, while the latter showed... a fleeting look of astonishment. And in that instant, she seized the opportunity swiftly, snatching away the rectangular box...
Just as she got the box, the Demon Que Sword Edge already touched the tendons on her wrist. Yi stood still, raising her eyes to meet Sui Yi’s bland, tranquil face.
"Put it down," she said.
Mr. Fei and the others shivered in unison.
They suddenly realized that the most horrifying monster they had encountered in this ancient tomb wasn’t the octopus creature or the emerging Green Head but... this person.
It wasn’t exactly a change of person, per se; this girl had always been this detached and indifferent. But just now, this indifference intensified to an infinite degree, devoid of any trace of humanity, wholly resembling a divine being that transcended worldly concerns.
Every move she made appeared naturally divine; every word and action carried absolute authority.
Yi tightened her delicate brows, her fingers gripping the rectangular box more firmly.
Sui Yi’s gaze lightly swept across her face, her wrist twitched, and the Demon Que Sword Edge writhed and snapped like a snake. The tip of the sword suddenly smacked Yi’s hand...
The tremor of the sword.
Yi felt a numbness in her palm, and involuntarily, the box fell...
Falling into Sui Yi’s hands.
She only glanced inside for a moment before frowning deeply, suddenly throwing the box away...
Thrown... it was thrown away..
Everyone’s eyes widened in shock, and Yi was especially stunned, but he hadn’t made his move yet.
With a slap, the young man had already grasped the box, for it was originally thrown to him.
Of this, the young man was certain.
"You don’t want it?"
"It’s useless to me."
With a casual and straightforward sentence, he raised the bar once again, stepping over everyone present...
Yhan Qingwu was seeing Sui Yi’s second personality for the first time. How should she put it? She heard Gong Jiu mention it before. It seemed that when she was under Sui Yi’s care for her constitution, this second personality had appeared... And it surpassed the Yun Family’s people the moment it appeared.
Now seeing it for herself, she had the feeling of having clung to a super powerful ally with her keen insight back in those days.
——Although this powerful ally was her own deskmate.
Fate really had treated her well...
If the box had been in Sui Yi’s hands, the others probably wouldn’t have dared to make a move, but unfortunately, now the box was in the young man’s hands. Yi and the others were growing impatient, but due to Sui Yi’s presence, they could only restrain themselves, including that monster...
Suddenly!
The entire ancient tomb seemed to shudder and shake as though gears were turning.
The sound was similar to that of a Western ancient giant wheel pulling gears, clanking repeatedly...
"That Corpse Hover has triggered a mechanism; this place will collapse soon," Third Lady Yin, with her astonishing hearing, suddenly exclaimed.
In reality, Fatty and the others had realized that Third Lady Yin had been concealing her skill. Though her hearing was said to be extraordinary, it had always been Sui Yi who played such roles along the way. Now it seemed obvious that this traitor had intentionally hidden her capabilities.
But if someone could betray once, how many could believe her again?
"Since it’s about to collapse, why don’t you let me go, Third Lady?" Mount Mover couldn’t help but say.
"No way, if I let you go, where would I find a shield? Let’s go!"
Darn it, is it really okay to use an old man as a shield?
Rocks from the ceiling threatened to fall again, and the others, whether they believed it or not, had no choice but to accept the reality. Anyway, the young man gave Sui Yi a deep look and then turned to run...
Yi caught up, and Mr. Fei and the rest followed without hesitation...
It was for that long rectangular box that these three parties ran...
The monster did the same.
As these people and the monster fled, Flower Demon and others had already arrived next to Gong Jiu.
"You take her and leave; Han Gao and the others have been saved, no need to search for them," Gong Jiu instructed.
How do you know! Haven’t you been with us the whole time?
"Then you..." Flower Demon unconsciously used respectful language.
She realized this person... might truly be a divine being.
"I still have things to do, go ahead," Gong Jiu said.
Flower Demon exchanged a glance with Yhan Qingwu. The latter, staring at Sui Yi, softly said, "Although you do not seem to be Sui Yi, will we inevitably meet again?"
Sui Yi looked at her, eyes cold and clear as the moon...
"We will."
The group then let out a sigh of relief.
Xiao Qi immediately stepped forward to carry Gong Jiu.
"Let’s go!"
Soon, everyone there had left. Yhan Qingwu turned her head back and saw Sui Yi’s tall and lonely figure standing in a space where debris fell endlessly, in front of a coffin, as if watching...
A strange and indescribable sensation arose, as if, to her, the fearsome tomb from over two thousand years past was but a fleeting moment of dust.
Boom! Boom!
Stones continued to fall, but they were not yet large, mostly small rubble. Sui Yi stood in front of the half-person-tall Bai Xi.
It was never cute or pretty to begin with, not one of the auspicious divine beasts like the Vermilion Bird or Azure Dragon. Moreover, after so many years of dilapidation and having its mind occupied and eroded by the monster, it had become even more hideous and repulsive...
The stench of oozing mucus perpetually seeped from its neck...
The odor was relentless.
Yet Sui Yi seemed to take no notice.
Until she said, "Everyone is gone, why do you still linger here?"
After a moment, a woman emerged from the passageway. Tall and slender, dressed in long boots and pants, efficiently attired, she carried a sword, her long hair pinned up with a stick, looking exceedingly beautiful and otherworldly.
One might say, a very traditionally charming woman.
But also surprisingly adept and detached.
She took a few steps, then stopped. With both hands on her sword, she bowed, "Thank you for showing mercy to my sister."
Sister? Who was her sister?
Sui Yi didn’t bother to respond, only saying indifferently, "With the presence of Green Head, there must be a God Servant. The skeleton in that coffin is the God Servant’s resting place. At this moment, it should be among those people... If you do not follow, not one of them will survive."
The God Servant, the woman had heard of it. It was said to be a greatly resentful soul that, due to overwhelming hatred in the Human Realm, refused to enter the cycle of reincarnation. It lingered in the realm of the living, residing in a place full of yin energy, waiting for a chance to seek revenge and settle its grudges.
However, because it entered the world of shades and was burdened with such heavy resentment, it could not last long and had to attach itself to a stronger entity. Thus, the notion of serving a Spirit God emerged, earning it the name "God Servant." And a God Servant favored nurturing Green Heads; the heavier the resentment of the God Servant, the more powerful and numerous the Green Heads it cultivated. Because only in this way could it gather sufficient resentment and yin energy.(To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com).
