"This is..."

Su Changqing was still utterly bewildered, but Bai Su recognized the red insect at a glance as the source of the fierce evil inhabiting Chen Yun’s body.

Although it had been stripped away, the boundless evil aura still existed, still capable of instilling in Bai Su a bone-deep sense of crisis.

Yes... it was this thing!

But how... How did this little one do it? What just happened?

What did they miss in the blink of an eye?

In fact, if the people on the periphery knew what Bai Su was thinking, they would certainly scoff; even with eyes wide open, it was not certain that they could clearly see what had happened, at least they couldn’t see clearly.

"That... Brother Chen, did you see clearly?"

The head of the Nie Family approached Chen Baifeng and asked.

Previously Nie Youyun lost to Chen Yun, and although he didn’t die, he suffered considerable injury and would likely need some time to recover. The most critical point was that their son wasn’t defeated by strength, but by some sort of cheating device.

Now that Chen Yun had been backfired upon by that cheating device, reducing him to a puppet, the Nie Family members were all schadenfreudingly pleased.

Chen Baifeng shook his head: "This old man is also at a loss; the younger generation is becoming more and more terrifying."

"Indeed..." Elder Nie sneered coldly: "To flaunt temporary power, they dare use any secretive weapon, but I forget to ask, Brother Chen, what exactly is that thing on your nephew?"

Chen Baifeng was at a loss for words, as the matter of that thing went back to his family’s prodigal wife.

Seeing the fourth son’s growing reputation while the eldest remained far behind due to mediocre talent, she was discontented and personally went to seek the Nanhai Dragon King’s advice, asking if there was a way to change her child’s talent.

To her surprise, the Old Dragon King actually provided a solution, which was that so-called Ancient Stone.

At that time, he felt something was wrong. How could there be anything in this world that could change one’s innate talent?

But after Chen Yun used that thing, he truly underwent a transformation.

Overjoyed, his wife was, and he didn’t want to dampen her enthusiasm at that moment.

He thought that as soon as any side effects appeared and his wife felt concern for the child, he would find an opportunity to take that thing back.

However, he hadn’t expected it to erupt so violently so soon.

It seemed now that the Dragon King’s recommendation had to have been with ill intent.

Once he returned home, he would have to think carefully about how to deal with the creature from the Southern Sea... That’s not right!

Chen Baifeng suddenly felt a chill in his heart. For this competition for the position of Heavenly Master, their family had mobilized in full force. Whether it was the younger or older generations, those who came were the elites; although many remained at home, they were...

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Chen Baifeng felt.

"Lord Chen need not worry." Beside him, Chen Qing, seeing Chen Baifeng’s pale face said softly, "I have sent a message to Jiangnan, instructing someone to investigate the situation in the Southern Sea. If there is any anomaly, they will notify us immediately."

Chen Baifeng was taken aback and looked at Chen Qing.

The family elders around them hadn’t reacted at all, still engaged in their own schemes and intrigues.

Chen Qing, an outsider, however, was so keenly aware of his unease that Chen Baifeng felt this level of insight only in the Emperor and Duke Song.

"Many thanks to Your Highness, the King of Qin."

"No thanks needed... Regarding the thing on your son, I am also quite concerned," Chen Qing said frankly.

An Ancient Demon’s premature release could disturb the balance, and according to Kagura’s report, that creature had already been exterminated. If the Southern Sea harbored such a thing, then was it possible there was more than one?

Now that Chen Baifeng was abroad, if they were not careful, host to Dragon Blood like Chen Yun, there were not a few in the Southern Sea!

"What have you done?"

In the fragment of space in Yunke’er’s hand, the red insect spoke in a hoarse voice, brimming with incredulous astonishment and fury!

It had been sealed within the insect egg for who knows how many long years, its genetic memory accumulating the hatred of countless kin.

Tormented for so long, it finally found suitable flesh and blood, on the verge of success, taking the first step toward goal fruition, only to fall at the hands of a youngling of the Human Race?

Are you kidding me?

"Eh, can this bug actually talk?" Yunke’er’s face was full of wonder.

This kind that could control human bodies must be Gu Insects.

Shen Qi had taught her that insects have powerful innate abilities, so their potential was suppressed by heaven and earth, especially their brains, which are extremely simple and easily controllable by spells.

That’s why there were Insect Sorcerers as a branch.

She had always thought that the thing in this big guy was a Gu placed by someone else.

"Despicable human race!" The insect hissed angrily, "What the hell did you do?"

"You disgusting bug, can you even understand what this genius says?" Yunke’er glared at it.

Bai Feng struggled to get up, stood, and looked at the fragments, "You didn’t use the method that saved me to capture it, did you?"

Yunke’er gave her a look, then assumed a reluctant expression, "It seems you’re a little bit smarter."

Really?

Shock filled Bai Feng’s eyes. She had explained her formation, which could sever a part of space. If she used the same method she used to save her, cutting off that bug and Chen Yun seemed possible, but...

"Can your technique directly cut through the human body?" Bai Feng took a deep breath and asked. If so, wouldn’t she be invincible?

"No..." Yunke’er shook her head, "Theoretically, spatial cutting can sever human bodies, but for some reason, despite countless experiments, it’s impossible to directly cut out living things, and it’s difficult to cut even a complete dead object.

The harder the dead object, the harder to cut through; the specific principle is still under research. "

"If that is the case, how did you cut it?"

"This bug is a bit special." Yunke’er glanced at the bug and said, "It resides in that big guy’s chest. It seems closely connected, but it’s actually linked to each other using a kind of Blood Magic Sorcery.

Its own flesh is not really connected to the host, so cutting it off in this case is simple.

Blood Magic Sorcery is one of my research topics—its energy structure is simple, especially its Blood Magic Sorcery, quite rough.

As Technique, Spatial Technique can naturally cut through other techniques, just like I can isolate flames. "

"I see!" Bai Feng understood at once. Spatial Art can’t directly cut living things and has difficulty cutting dead objects. The more difficult it is for very hard and complex dead objects to be cut.

Contrarily, a Technique’s structure is loose, not as compact as objects, so it can be cut easily?

Quite interesting. No one had ever taught her these things. It seems she must visit Jiangnan Academy when she has the chance.

"Is it just this thing that made Chen Yun so ferocious?" At this moment, Su Changqing also approached, looking at the bug in the shards, still somewhat terrified. Being sealed in spatial fragments meant the bug’s strength wasn’t strong, but why was its momentum so frightening?

"I’m not clear on that either." Yunke’er shook her head, "I separated it from that big guy just to save the person first. I didn’t expect that once the bug left the host, it would deflate like a punctured ball, with its own energy severely diminishing. So I simply sealed it inside the fragment."

"I have another question," Bai Feng added.

"What?" Yunke’er looked at Bai Feng. The latter had many questions, but Yunke’er didn’t mind; it was the ethos of the academy, to ask when you don’t understand—it’s a way of communication she was used to. She didn’t quite like those children from noble families who always made veiled hints.

"This cutting method requires precise targeting, right? Just like cutting objects, you need the right position to cut, correct? That thing was moving at high speed just now, how did you cut it?"

"Good question!" Yunke’er smiled proudly, "To cut something moving at high speed, you need to use Art Calculation. I’m very clear about how big my space is.

The enemy seems to be able to identify where the spatial entrance is, so every time it uses its highest speed without stopping.

After I change the exit, it immediately rushes towards the new exit.

After a few times, I was able to calculate its exact speed, so at the right moment, I just pre-emptively cut, like this. "

Yunke’er drew an arc-like blade shape in the sky, and then a falling leaf came down, immediately sliced into two halves.

Bai Feng stared dumbfounded. The leaf was dead and not hard, so it could be cut with spatial cutting, but the leaf moved into it by itself—her analogy implied Chen Yun was like this leaf. In a pre-designed situation, bumping into it resulted in the cut.

But the leaf is so slow, and Chen Yun was so fast...

No, regardless of speed, if you calculate properly in advance, there is no difference between Chen Yun and this leaf!

Incredibly fierce!!!

Bai Feng, reacting, was even more astonished by this combat method. Since her birth, she never imagined that one could fight like this.

Not to mention her disbelief, even Su Changqing beside her looked completely baffled.

At this moment, the surrounding family members also swallowed their saliva. It could be said that they had been thoroughly schooled by this little girl from Jiangnan!

At this moment, these family elders made up their minds. From now on, Art Calculation must be a compulsory course in the family!
