Chapter 2584: Chapter 2604: You really know how to give yourself credit.

"Boom!"

The entire hilltop shattered into granules instantly under the immense pressure. Master Zhen, with his silver hair flying, had an aura like a demon god descending to earth, completely suppressing Qiu Wushuang.

Qiu Wushuang was like bearing a towering mountain on her back, her bones crackling under the strain. Her powerful aura kept rising, yet she could only barely hold on and was unable to make an effective counterattack.

With her eyes bloodshot, Qiu Wushuang glared at Master Zhen in the sky, disregarding her own safety, and thrust a palm downward with a turn.

Lin Chen, already immobilized and unable to move, exploded into a cloud of blood fog under the force of that mighty palm.

Because of her distraction, Qiu Wushuang groaned, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and her body was smashed to the ground. The remaining half of the mountain peak under her feet also exploded thunderously.

Qiu Wushuang was in utter disarray, but she laughed wildly.

"You’ve actually gotten so much stronger, haha, but what of it? I still killed that kid right in front of your eyes..."

Master Zhen’s face was as still as water, his eyes burning with anger as he subconsciously looked back at Shang Wenyin and Yue Chengtian in the distance.

Yue Chengtian’s face drained of color: "Brother!"

Shang Wenyin, however, remained composed, showing neither sadness nor anger.

Master Zhen’s gaze fell on Shang Wenyin’s face, and he blinked in surprise, his tense expression suddenly relaxing significantly.

Having seen much of the world, she instantly understood that Lin Chen had not died. Otherwise, how could Shang Wenyin show no sign of sorrow?

A clone?

Rebirth from Nirvana?

Upon further thought, Master Zhen perceived something unusual.

Although Lin Chen had been controlled by Qiu Wushuang from the moment he appeared, and had not spoken a word, recalling the attention she paid to him, there was a hint of something amiss, though she had not noticed it at the time. Now, looking back, it seemed that Lin Chen’s strength had diminished a lot!

Lin Chen possessed the strength of a Daluo Ultimate Immortal, yet the Lin Chen controlled by Qiu Wushuang seemed to only be at the realm of someone who had newly ascended to Da Luo.

A clone!

And not just any clone, but a rare one posessing the Blood Clone Divine Power of a Demonic Beast!

This kid had quite a few secrets; she had previously only noticed his Sword Bone and the Seed of Abnormality at the heart’s location but had not realized he had such a trick up his sleeve.

No wonder Lin Chen was not opposed to being sent to deliver a message, even when she voiced the dangers, he didn’t care at all and was full of confidence. As it turned out, he had sent a clone to deliver the message.

From Qiu Wushuang’s previous attitude, it could be discerned that Lin Chen’s clone must have said something to her, greatly enraging her. Otherwise, with her status, would she resort to poking eyes and breaking every bone in the body of a mere messenger?

Eyes?

Did he see something he shouldn’t have?

Could it be that Lin Chen was leering at Qiu Wushuang, sizing her up and down, that enraged her?

Otherwise, why would Qiu Wushuang, despite being willing to get hurt, persist so stubbornly in killing Lin Chen?

Thinking of this, Master Zhen suddenly became interested, her lips curving into a smile, "Just got a new subordinate, and if he’s dead, he’s dead. Why are you so frenzied? What, did he peep at you bathing, or verbally insult you?"

Seeing Master Zhen actually laughing, Qiu Wushuang was struck dumb.

Her determination to kill Lin Chen was partly because of Lin Chen’s previous words to her, but also she wanted to slap Master Zhen’s face.

"You want to protect him, don’t you?

"I’ll kill him and see what you can do!

"If you dare, kill me then!"

However, with Lin Chen dead, why is Master Zhen laughing?

If you don’t care about his life or death, why did you make such a big array just now, was it for his benefit?

After a few seconds of silence, Qiu Wushuang said coldly, "Even if you’ve aged and become uglier, you’re still the same, you haven’t changed at all; aside from yourself, you don’t care about anyone else!"

Master Zhen laughed heartily, "Cultivators are destined to walk a lonely path. Besides oneself, what else is there to care about?"

She paused, then continued to probe, "Tell me, what did he do to you that you hate him so much that you must kill him?"

Qiu Wushuang sneered, "You’re so eager to know?"

Master Zhen nodded, "Yes, what’s the matter, unwilling to tell?"

Qiu Wushuang suddenly smiled sweetly, "If you want to know, I’ll tell you. He complimented my beauty, said he wasn’t strong enough, but if he were, he would capture me and take me back to be his wife, to love me well. I said aren’t you with Zhen Liuxue, isn’t she pretty enough? He said that she’s so old, the wrinkles on her face could kill a person, as if she could be beautiful..."

Master Zhen listened with a smile, not at all angered by the latter part of the statement.

Since she knew Lin Chen was a fake death of a clone, she was sure he wouldn’t speak of her in that way. Was the first part true?

Equally fake!

Master Zhen pointed her chin towards Shang Wenyin in the distance, "You can’t even make up a convincing story. See her? His woman is countless times more beautiful than you, and he likes you, wants to marry you? You sure know how to flatter yourself. My guess is he didn’t talk about marrying you, but capturing you to serve as a maid, to attend to his washing, and bed-making every day, isn’t that right?"
