Chapter 284: Use [Interlocking Chains] on Yan Chuqing [Today 6000]

"Bai Chi! How can a Third-Cycle be as stupid as a pig!"

In response to the Third-Cycle's explanation, a Fourth-Cycle's right palm, shaped like a palm-leaf fan, struck out directly.

That single slap stunned the Third-Cycle; even the mere leakage of a wisp of power turned the entire house into dust.

"Use your brain. If you can't reach Guiyun Peak, then send us to a place a thousand li away from Guiyun Peak."

That hot-tempered Fourth-Cycle sneered, "Does the range of that Magic-Suppression Domain extend that far?"

"Eh, Brother Xiang Lie, don't get so angry; what if you kill him?" the white-robed Fourth-Cycle beside him advised, for if he were killed outright, who would teleport them?

Xiang Lie snorted coldly, then said, "Hurry and teleport us there to support Emperor Chu."

"Yes, yes, yes." That Third-Cycle Shaman nodded repeatedly in fear, harboring not a shred of resentment.

After all, that huge black zone in the livestream was created by a Fourth-Cycle; anyone seeing it would fall silent.

For those below Fourth-Cycle, once their inheritances are restricted by the Magic-Suppression Domain, going there is no different from suicide.

Certain Third-Cycle Soul Cultivators, for instance, would likely be blasted to death by the light of materialism merely by approaching the Magic-Suppression Domain.

As a ring of light ignited in the Third-Cycle Shaman's hand, a teleportation gate, appearing randomly near Guiyun Peak, opened.

In the instant the teleportation gate appeared, the figures of the Fourth-Cycle cultivators surged into it one after another.

The first to enter the teleportation gate was that hot-tempered Xiang Lie.

The moment he emerged, he found himself standing atop a peak with pleasant scenery.

But as his gaze swept across, he discovered a woman standing before him, having appeared who knows when.

That graceful figure stood at the peak of the mountain; her ice-blue long hair cascaded like a galaxy, its ends adorned with tiny silver bells that chimed softly in the wind like shattered jade falling into a spring. Her pale hand held a three-foot-long sword, and now she was staring at him with an inexplicable gaze.

'Damn it, it's actually Hearing Liu Qingmeng!'

Almost instantly, Xiang Lie felt alarm bells ring in his heart and instinctively prepared to attack.

Who doesn't know Fang Can is from the Calamity Sword Mountain? Perhaps he has already been used by this woman before.

That Third-Cycle Shaman was just too unlucky; how could he randomly open a teleportation gate here and run into this madwoman?

Before he could react, Hearing Liu Qingmeng had already activated the 【Charming Blue Movie】 inheritance, her body transforming into lightning and moving at light speed to appear behind Xiang Lie.

When she exited her lightning form, the long sword in her hand, flashing with cold light, erupted with blinding electrical sparks and pressed against Xiang Lie's neck, then slashed out at the full speed of a peak Fourth-Cycle.

Sss—

Amidst the faint crackling sound of violent thunder ionizing the air, Xiang Lie's fine head soared skyward.

'Damn woman!' A thread of killing intent flashed through Xiang Lie's severed head.

It was merely a beheading; even mortals can retain consciousness for several seconds.

As long as Hearing Liu Qingmeng's Heart-Image wasn't mixed in to prevent regeneration, reattaching the head in time would heal him in an instant.

But in the next moment, he saw that starting from the severed neck, a state of life-and-death destruction was spreading continuously.

'This is... that sacrificial vessel has the effect of certain death upon injury, and it is at least Fourth-Cycle level...'

The consciousness stored within Xiang Lie's head dissipated almost instantly; before being cut off, he saw a blue movie rushing into the glowing teleportation gate.

Four breaths later, Hearing Liu Qingmeng's figure retreated back from the vanishing teleportation gate.

At this moment, her expression was cold and clear, her white robes like snow, as if nothing had happened.

【Charming Blue Movie】 granted her a movement speed unmatched by anyone in the Fourth-Cycle; the only deficiency was a means for instant killing.

She was naturally aware of this and would strive to compensate for the inheritance's shortcomings.

Relying on the 【Silent and Shadowless Step】 and this Fourth-Cycle-level sacrificial vessel in her hand, almost no one within the Fourth-Cycle could dodge her sneak attack, not even Xiang Hongtu.

Thinking of this, Hearing Liu Qingmeng's gaze turned toward the distant black zone.

To be fair or not, the people Fang Can provoked were all big fish within the Fourth-Cycle.

If she acted now, catching Xiang Hongtu off guard, she had more than a fifty percent chance of sealing Xiang Hongtu's fate.

But Xiang Hongtu possesses the Yin-Yang Sacred Embryo; sealing just one life is far from enough.

After waiting one breath to switch bodies and revive, her 【Charming Blue Movie】 with its two-thousand-kilometer movement speed would have no guarantee of escaping under the opponent's pursuit.

As for the other three, Yan Chuqing's Equal Domain cannot break through defense, Chi Xiao ignores attacks entirely, and Yi Tianxing immediately activates 【Chess Match】 upon being attacked, entering an invincible state...

Just thinking about it made Hearing Liu Qingmeng's head ache; this little fellow is truly capable of causing trouble.

And at this moment, on the Endless Sea, Yan Chuqing cautiously looked around.

Since entering the Endless Sea just now, Ji Donglai, controlled by Fang Can, had attacked her like a madman.

'What an ungrateful man; after all, we once had a debt of a single bite,' Yan Chuqing snorted coldly in her heart.

Then, watching the full-force battle between Ji Donglai and Xiang Hongtu in the livestream, she guessed in her heart: "Fang Can hasn't attacked me for a second; he must have given up, after all, he cannot break my Equal Domain."

The so-called Equal Domain can suppress an opponent's power to the same level as one's own.

And regarding this inheritance surrounding herself, Yan Chuqing deliberately suppressed her own power increase, wholeheartedly cultivating dozens of body-hardening techniques to raise her defense to more than ten times her power.

Now, her body-hardening skills can be said to be the strongest pure physical form within the Fourth-Cycle.

Paired with the Equal Domain, she needs no Yi Tianxing; relying on her own abilities, she can escape even an antimatter explosion.

And at this moment, unknown to anyone, two figures were looking at him coldly, three feet away.

'Prepare to move. After you use Brother Ji's ability to teleport away, I will launch the attack.'

Fang Can suppressed his heartbeat, hovering in the air, inching closer to Yan Chuqing's back.

Before him, ■■■ had transformed into a man? a creature? a thing? a concept? ■■? that cannot be described by any description.

This is the superpower borrowed by ■■■, Anti-Meme! (Mentioned in the fifth-to-last paragraph of Chapter 242, Li Huowang's Ability Compendium)

Simply explained, if a Meme is the frantic propagation of information,

then the so-called Anti-Meme is the self-convergence of one's own information.

A text that can never be known, a human that no one can ever remember, these self-converging pieces of information, these eternally sealed objects, can be understood as Anti-Memes.

And at this moment, the ability borrowed by ■■■ is the Anti-Meme superpower, with the ability code name 【Identity Unknown】.

This is a passive ability; it can only be observed when within line of sight.

And if it disappears from line of sight, all memories previously held are instantly cleared by the 【Anti-Memetic】 ability.

At the same time, even while within line of sight, Fang Can can only vaguely sense an indescribable ■■■ before him.

This is merely because the ■■■ was weakened while borrowing the Anti-Memetic ability, thus manifesting in this form; this superhuman remains to this day of unknown true identity.

According to the ■■■'s recollection, this ability suddenly appeared one morning; it is the only superpower that manifested automatically.

And previously, the many nuclear missiles on Guiyun Peak were placed by the ■■■ after borrowing the ability.

At this moment, the ■■■ stands motionless one meter away from Yan Chuqing; Fang Can clearly knows this is the ■■■'s limit, because the Anti-Memetic field covers a one-meter radius around Fang Can.

If Yan Chuqing were to enter the ■■■'s one-meter range, he too would enter a state of being forgotten, just like Fang Can.

At this moment, Yi Tianxing is contemplating a chess game, while Yan Chuqing and the majority of the audience focus their attention on the battle between Ji Donglai and Xiang Hongtu.

Even Xiang Hongtu, facing Ji Donglai's suddenly intense combat frequency, can only devote himself entirely to defense, so these parties have not paid attention to Yan Chuqing's live broadcast feed for the time being.

Perhaps others might have noticed Fang Can and the ■■■ behind Yan Chuqing with surprise, but there is absolutely no means to convey a message to Yan Chuqing.

'This is the best opportunity.' Fang Can's expression grew serious as he exerted himself to suppress his presence.

The reason for relying on a sneak attack is that Yan Chuqing, however weak, is still a Fourth Turn.

Once he reacts, he can kill him a hundred times within one second; there is simply no possibility of giving Fang Can a chance to close in.

Holding his breath, the reason for waiting until the ■■■ borrows Ji Donglai's ability is that under the Anti-Memetic state, the defense of the Rotten Li Huowang is nearly zero.

During the preparation, Fang Can's right hand coiled with potential, his middle finger slightly curled, aiming at Yan Chuqing.

What he is about to use next is the ultimate secret technique of the 'Orchid Palm Acupoint Strike'.

'Sorry, Senior Liu; this move was originally researched to deal with you.' Fang Can thought silently in his heart, his arm already covered in bulging veins, like a spring compressed to its limit.

Swish—

As the ■■■'s appearance shifted, transforming into Ji Donglai's likeness, he immediately desperately used teleportation to prepare to leave this place.

And almost simultaneously, Fang Can's right arm, with his middle finger curled, struck forward with full force.

【Forbidden Character Technique】 Full Power Activated!

【AT Field】 Ten Percent Power!

【Orchid Palm Acupoint Strike】 Ultimate Secret Technique!

At this moment, Fang Can's coiled right hand instantly broke through twenty times the speed of sound, shattering the layers of sonic barriers before him!

Having lost the protection of the Rotten Li Huowang, Yan Chuqing felt an extreme sense of danger coming from behind, and his body instinctively tensed.

"Clang—"

Accompanied by the sound of metal colliding exploding, Fang Can felt a sharp pain surge through his middle finger.

Because those two tightly closed doors had firmly blocked his finger, preventing him from breaking through the obstacle.

'This familiar feeling... it's Fang Can!' Yan Chuqing's expression immediately grew alert, because during those three days at Suxin Zhai, she had seen too many disciples and elders fall to this move.

"But it's useless, mere Fang Can. With my Iron Body cultivation, there are no weak points left anywhere on my body; since you have delivered yourself to my door, so much the better."

Yan Chuqing's eyes held triumph as she was about to shake Fang Can off, but immediately a faint laugh transmitted via heart-sense followed:

"Zhai Master Yan, who said one cannot kill a person without a spearhead?"

"I kept a move in reserve when teaching the inner disciples of the Zhai."

"Behold my 'Orchid Palm Acupoint Strike' highest secret technique—Interlocking Rings!!!"
