Chapter 157

The moonlight was cool.

Jiang Ye's light figure swept out of the Jin mansion in the blink of an eye, disappearing from the Hua sisters' sight.

Seeing this scene, a confident sneer appeared on Hua Ning's pretty face.

"So far, no one has been able to escape from my hands..."

Hearing this, Hua Tian immediately understood, a trace of solemnity flashing in her water-like beautiful eyes, "Sister, are you going to use that move..."

"As long as we can catch this 'Head-Chopping Demon', losing a bit of essence blood is worth it!"

Hua Ning nodded slightly, a look of determination flashing in her eyes.

She knew that if they missed tonight, it would probably be difficult to find this Head-Chopping Demon with secret whereabouts again.

The next instant, she stretched her fair jade-like fingers to her mouth, her pearly teeth biting lightly.

A drop of bright red blood bead seeped from her fingertip, the blood bead shining with a faint red light in the moonlight, like a concentrated ruby, emitting a faint bloody smell.

"So painful..."

Clearly it was Hua Ning who was bleeding, but Hua Tian on the side couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"Pulling Silk Thread!"

Hua Ning ignored her sister's reaction, letting out a light shout, forming seals with one hand.

Those fair and slender jade fingers were incredibly flexible.

Five fingers flying, she instantly formed several complex seals.

That blood bead suddenly turned into a thin, long blood thread, winding and swimming in the air like a living thing, pulling the pale blue water vapor, and flying toward the direction Jiang Ye escaped.

That blood thread was as thin as a hair, yet exceptionally tough, almost invisible in the night, with only that faint red light flickering in the moonlight.

"Go!!!"

Hua Ning and Hua Tian's eyes condensed, their minds connected, simultaneously driving their movement techniques to chase in the direction pulled by the blood thread.

Two graceful figures swept rapidly in the moonlight, clothes fluttering, like a pair of fairies flying out of the water, their speed astonishing.

Such a huge disturbance naturally shocked everyone in the Jin mansion.

The first to rush out was none other than Jin Yu, who had just finished treating the wounds on her body.

She was wrapped in bandages, stained with blood, her face pale as paper, her eyes full of fear and unease.

As soon as she arrived, she saw the mess on the ground, even the threshold of the spirit hall had been collapsed by the Hua sisters' true qi.

Gravel scattered all over the ground, water flowing over the blue stone floor, reflecting the moonlight, shining with a cold light.

Her heart trembled violently, an ominous premonition rising from the bottom of her heart, winding around her like a poisonous snake, making her almost unable to breathe.

"Father, Mother..."

Jin Yu muttered, her voice trembling, her legs weak, but she still forced herself, stepping on the water on the ground, stumbling into the spirit hall.

Then, her whole body froze as if struck by lightning.

On the offering table, next to Jin Hai's spirit tablet, were two heads.

They were none other than Jin Mo and Jin Mu.

Both faces were still frozen with the bewilderment and fear before death, their eyes staring round, dying with eyes wide open.

Bright red blood continued to flow down from the broken parts, dripping along the edge of the offering table, drop by drop, staining a dark red pool of blood on the ground, the air filled with a thick bloody smell.

That instant.

Jin Yu thought she was having a nightmare.

However, even if it were a nightmare...

This scene before her was simply too terrifying.

Her mind was a blank, with only those two heads shaking before her eyes, making her dizzy and wanting to vomit.

"Ah——!!!"

Jin Yu could no longer bear it, her spirit nearing collapse, letting out an inhuman scream, the bandages she had just wrapped around her body instantly bursting.

Subsequently, she rolled her eyes and directly lost consciousness, her whole body falling heavily to the ground like a shell from which the bones had been extracted, splashing a pool of blood.

"They really chased after me."

Feeling the two cold auras rushing rapidly from behind, a playful look flashed in Jiang Ye's aged eyes.

He deliberately didn't use the Bird-Form True Intent; otherwise, these sisters would have had no chance to catch up to him at all.

"Since you are determined to have me die... then I won't be polite..."

Jiang Ye sneered, and deliberately slowed down a bit, like a patient hunter, luring the prey step by step into the trap.

The Hua sisters' speed was extremely fast, the two true qi connected, movement techniques combined, like a surging tide, sweeping through the night.

Their feet were like wind, clothes fluttering, closing the distance with Jiang Ye in the blink of an eye.

The two sides shuttled through the complex streets and alleys of the prefecture city.

However, under Jiang Ye's deliberate guidance, the two sides gradually headed toward the dense forest of the prefecture city.

"'Head-Chopping Demon', if you surrender now, we will let you suffer a little less!"

Hua Tian drove her true qi, her crisp voice exploding in Jiang Ye's ears, carrying a bit of the young girl's unique publicity and confidence:

"Otherwise, we will break all your bones and make you wish you were dead!"

She paused and added:

"Remind you, our sisters are best at catching alive..."

Jiang Ye seemed not to have heard Hua Tian's voice at all, not even turning his head.

Seeing that her intimidation had no effect at all, Hua Tian was anxious, a trace of annoyance flashing on her exquisite pretty face.

She suddenly condensed Water Element True Qi in her hand, turning into a crystal-clear water bow, the bow body curved like the moon, water light flowing on the string.

The emerald Wood Element True Qi condensed into a green arrow, the arrow tip shining with a faint green light.

In the process of chasing, she actually heroically struck a pose of drawing the bow and setting the arrow, her posture straight, her gaze sharp, shooting an arrow suddenly at Jiang Ye's figure.

Whoosh!

The arrow broke through the air, its speed astonishing, drawing a green trail in the air, instantly piercing Jiang Ye's body.

But the moment the figure was hit, it swayed slightly like a reflection on the water surface, and then dissipated...

That was just an afterimage.

Jiang Ye's true body had strangely appeared a few feet away, continuing to sweep forward unhurriedly.

"Damn it, what kind of movement technique is this!"

Hua Tian gritted her teeth in disbelief, shooting several arrows in a row.

The arrows were like rain, dense, but every time they could only hit an afterimage.

The afterimage twisted and dissipated in the arrows, and condensed again elsewhere, like a ghost, unpredictable.

Hua Ning on the side reached out to stop her sister's idea of continuing to attack, her exquisite face full of solemnity.

She said in a deep voice: "Don't waste true qi, although his movement technique is strange, his speed has obviously slowed down, catching up to him is just a matter of time!"

Hearing this, Hua Tian took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, a trace of unwillingness flashing on her pretty face, but she still put away the water bow.

She bit her lip and said in a deep voice: "Alright! After we catch him later, I will crush all his bones with Water Element True Qi!"

As the two sides chased, they soon arrived at a dense forest in the prefecture city.

Here, ancient trees towered, branches and leaves intertwined.

"Let's do it here!"

A trace of deliberation flashed in Jiang Ye's eyes, his gaze sweeping over the dense trees around him, his heart already having a plan.

Besides shared five senses and connected minds, I don't know if this twin spiritual body has any other special means.

Just in case, it's safer to separate the sisters and clean them up.

After thinking for a moment, he tore a piece of cloth from his sleeve, then bit the tip of his tongue, spitting a drop of bright red essence blood onto the cloth.

The essence blood spread on the cloth, turning into a dark red mark, with light faintly flowing.

The next instant.

Jiang Ye's figure strangely split in the middle, becoming two.

Two Jiang Yes stood side by side in the moonlight, like reflections in a mirror, indistinguishable from true or false.

This move is precisely the secret technique in the "Shadow-Splitting Lost-Track Step," the Demon Shadow of Split Shadows.

"What?!"

"How is this possible..."

Hua Ning and Hua Tian sisters were startled, a look of unbelievable shock flashing in their eyes at the same time.

You know, they possess a twin spiritual body, and their perception is naturally sharper.

If it were a blindfold technique like a clone technique, it wouldn't be able to deceive them.

After all, aura cannot be faked.

But the figures of these two Jiang Yes, even their auras were exactly the same, natural and flawless.

In the sisters' shocked eyes, the two Jiang Yes swept toward two directions of the dense forest, one left and one right.

"Sister, this..."

Hua Tian was stunned for a moment.

Hua Ning said decisively:

"We chase one direction each!"

"He is seeking death by escaping into the woods!"

The sisters, with connected minds, separated instantly, chasing toward the left and right sides.

Jiang Ye shuttled nimbly through the dense forest.

The cold water aura rushing rapidly from behind was getting closer and closer, carrying a trace of chill, surging like a tide.

He curled his mouth into a cold arc, a playful look flashing in his eyes.

Don't know if the one chasing up is the elder sister or the younger sister.

A recognition method once mentioned by Zheng Hui suddenly flashed through his mind...

Anyway, he is going to take her spiritual body origin later, so he might as well verify it.

Jiang Ye's speed suddenly decreased sharply, and his figure was no longer as erratic, as if he had really started to run out of energy.

"It seems that the previous clone technique was a great drain on you."

Seeing this scene, Hua Ning, who chased up, sneered, a sharp light flashing in her water-like eyes:

"Escaping into the woods is the most stupid choice you made today!"

No need to think to know that the true-and-false-indistinguishable clone technique just now must be a profound secret technique.

And performing such secret techniques often requires a not-so-small price.

She knew this very well.

And for her, who cultivates Water and Wood True Qi, this dense forest is simply an excellent battlefield.

As the situation grew, even if the sisters were temporarily separated, she was sure to win.

"Thousand Azure Palm!"

Without giving Jiang Ye any time to catch his breath, the Water and Wood True Qi surging in Hua Ning's hands condensed into light like jade.

She slapped a palm toward Jiang Ye's direction, the palm wind whistling, true qi like a tide.

The trees in all directions were actually drawn by some kind of traction, surging like living things.

Those ancient trees that were originally standing quietly, at this moment, seemed to be injected with life, the thick trunks twisting like giant pythons, winding toward Jiang Ye.

Facing such a killing move, Jiang Ye's expression was not panicked at all, the corners of his mouth instead curling into a playful arc:

"The stupid one is you, little girl!"

The moment the words fell, Jiang Ye had already formed several complex seals in his hands.

With every gesture, a rich vitality permeated the air.

"Five Elements Suppressing World Seal—Green Vine Binding Spirit Seal!"

Jiang Ye gave a low shout in his heart, a burst of brilliant green true qi erupting from his palm.

That light was richer and purer than Hua Ning's, like a concentrated forest, emitting a suffocating vitality.

Boom—!!!

In this instant, the trees within tens of meters around were ordered, as if hearing the voice of a king, turning their directions in unison.

The branches that were originally surging toward Jiang Ye instantly turned, rushing toward Hua Ning.

"What? You also cultivate Wood Element True Qi..."

Hua Ning's pupils shrank violently, a look of panic appearing on her exquisite face for the first time.

In those water-clear beautiful eyes, there was full of unbelievable horror.

This 'Head-Chopping Demon' actually also cultivates Water and Wood True Qi...

Moreover, the other party's Wood Element martial skill was clearly above hers, actually breaking her Thousand Azure Palm in one go.

She subconsciously wanted to pull back and retreat, first to reunite with her sister.

Sisters joining forces is the strongest state.

But the moment she turned around, the dense forest seemed to have come alive.

Not just trees, even the grass on the ground, and countless vines, all surged toward her.

Those grasses and trees seemed to have life, have will, growing madly, spreading, winding.

"Get lost!"

Hua Ning's true qi erupted, Water and Wood True Qi forming a blue-green light shield on her body surface, shattering the grasses and trees approaching her.

Wood chips flew, grass leaves splashed, but her heart sank lower and lower.

Because those shattered grasses and trees soon had new ones filling in, endless, inexhaustible.

Facing these countless grass and vine vines in the dense forest, every burst of hers consumed quite a bit of true qi, but those grasses and trees seemed to never be cleaned up, ultimately just a drop in the bucket.

When a vine as thick as a thumb darted out like a poisonous snake, silently winding around her ankle.

Hua Ning's heart trembled, and in her panic, she couldn't even stand steady.

The vine tightened more and more, hurting her ankle, as if it were about to embed into the bone.

"Bad!"

She exclaimed, wanting to drive true qi to break the vine, but more vines had already surged like a tide.

In the blink of an eye, several more vines darted up like snakes, winding around her ankles, abdomen, wrists, tightening more and more, winding more and more densely.

The vines were as tough as steel wire, no matter how she struggled, she couldn't break free, instead winding tighter and tighter.

Her Water and Wood True Qi, in front of these grasses and trees covering the sky and earth, were like mud cows entering the sea, having no effect.

Hua Ning's body was hung high by the vines, suspended in mid-air, her limbs bound, unable to move.

Her long hair scattered, her robes messy, her exquisite face full of unwillingness and horror.

Under the moonlight.

A pair of indifferent eyes entered her water-clear beautiful eyes.

"Sister... come save me..."

This was the cry of fear in Hua Ning's heart.

At the same time.

"It's actually fake..."

Hua Tian looked at the figure chasing before her suddenly turning into a piece of cloth, the cloth falling in the moonlight like a withered leaf.

A trace of unwillingness flashed in her beautiful eyes, biting her lip, about to turn around.

The next instant.

Her exquisite pretty face changed drastically, the blood color instantly fading away.

"Bad! Sister is in trouble!"

Her heart trembled violently, an unprecedented fear rising from the bottom of her heart, winding around her like a poisonous snake, making her almost unable to breathe.

Once the sisters are separated by a long distance, the shared five senses will become weaker.

But she could still clearly feel a fear, a feeling of panic coming from her sister.

She immediately turned her direction, her true qi running wildly, running madly toward the direction where her sister was.

Her speed was astonishing, like a frightened bird.

Just at this moment.

"So painful!!!"

Before running a few steps, Hua Tian suddenly turned pale, her legs inexplicably weak, falling heavily to the ground.

"How can it be so painful..."

Hua Tian's pearly teeth almost bit through her moist red lips, a flash of dazed horror in her eyes.

"Sister... what exactly happened to you..."
