Chapter 127 Shura Field, Move Again
The Red Dust Bar is adjacent to the old city area that is in urgent need of renovation, which is exactly the area An Zhizhen chose. Together with the people who evacuated nearby in advance, she successfully opened up a wide battlefield in the center of the bustling city.

Yi Qingyan flicked her finger, and the “Blade of Infernal Affairs” tore the space in front of her. The faint white light expanded rapidly, from the size of lingering on her finger to hundreds of meters long in the blink of an eye, which could swallow up the scene in front of her. Then it expanded to thousands of meters.

In an instant, like a breeze, it passed by a dozen houses not far away, causing damage on an astonishing scale.

These houses were of varying heights, standing in the night like giants. At this moment, they all collapsed at the same time. After being cut in half, the main structure fell to the back and sides.

Visible signs of cracks appeared on the surface of the empty building. The building structure weighing tens of thousands of tons slowly slid down along the severed smooth plane. Concrete, gravel, mud, steel bars, cement… countless materials inside hung upside down like a waterfall and fell due to gravity.

The “waterfall” hit the ground, splashing up billowing smoke and dust, rising to a height of more than ten meters, like a desert full of yellow sand, blocking the vision of people on the ground. At the same time, the muffled loud noise spread like ripples several kilometers away.

The aftermath of the space slash tore through the reinforced concrete structure and penetrated deeper into the sinking surface. The road surface within a radius of several kilometers was covered with cracks that bloomed like petals and water columns sprayed out from burst underground pipes. The power of the blow was so great.

Yi Qingyan did not do this intentionally to show off her own strength. The range of the Infernal Blade was a radial circle, and its main purpose was to ensure that An Zhizhen in front of her was completely covered by her range.

Last time, this woman made the first move, but she was caught off guard and was mentally controlled, so she couldn’t exert her strength immediately… This time, she won’t make the same mistake again.

……

The smoke and dust around gradually dissipated.

“Okay, where is the person?”

There was no one in sight but her.

Yi Qingyan stood there and closed one eye. Her heart was like a deep pool, reflecting the bright moon. The surrounding scene was clearly reflected in her spiritual perception.

An Zhizhen’s “existence” had indeed disappeared from her perception.

As a superhuman of the new era, the spell-binding master has not only the incredible supernatural powers brought by the spell, but also the passive effects brought by the essence of life energy, the true qi.

The two most important of these are the key to making it impossible for ordinary people in later generations to resist the Curse Master: one is the natural strengthening of the physical body by the true Qi, and the other is the growth of spiritual perception.

Compared to the former, the super strong sixth sense brought by the latter makes it difficult for modern weapons to be effective in local wars against curse masters.

Take a human immortal curse master like Cen Dongsheng as an example. His body can resist damage from artillery shells and general heavy firepower. This can only be achieved after reaching the first-class curse master:

But if it is just one person against a modern army, especially in densely populated cities where large-scale bombing cannot be used, it will actually be achieved earlier. Relying on his spiritual perception and powerful athletic performance, bullets and even artillery shells cannot hit him.

The more powerful the spell-binding master is, the stronger this side effect will be. An exceptional spell-binding master can even sense the threatening aura from hundreds of kilometers away.

As long as they use their special powers in this situation, they can avoid or confront the incoming danger head-on, so under normal circumstances, they cannot be attacked by ordinary people.

In addition, spiritual perception also plays an important role in the game and battle between curse masters.

It can analyze the pros and cons, sense moves, make subconscious judgments, and predict the target’s trajectory. The so-called “ahead of the intention” can have an effect that is almost like foreknowledge.

The gap between spell-binding masters of different levels is not only the difference in the amount of true Qi, but also the suppression in spiritual perception; and in confrontations of the same level, this suppression effect will be greatly weakened.

Effects such as “I foresee what you foresee” will cancel each other out. In the end, the key to victory or defeat still depends on the upper limit of the amount of true energy and the compatibility of the curse.

Yi Qingyan was not sure whether the other party’s spiritual perception could escape her capture, so the girl simply used the large-scale wide-area “Blade of Infernal Affairs”. No matter how the woman dodged, she could not escape this attack.

Unlike her own “Avici Hell”, she guessed that An Zhizhen’s “Tiankui Quanshou” was not good at interfering with the physical world.

It is not necessarily impossible, but it is more complicated and costly to implement.

If anyone wants to compete head-on with me in this regard, I will definitely be the winner in the end, because her use of the Blade of Infernal Affairs consumes almost no energy.

But the fact is, the attack just now did not encounter any obstacles. It easily cut through all objects in front of it and disappeared at the other end of the edge of vision.

“……do you died?”

Yi Qingyan muttered something.

Of course she knew that An Zhizhen couldn’t die so easily, so her words seemed like a sign of a counterattack…

But she was still curious.

For the time being, she couldn’t guess how An Zhizhen would escape the attack.

Some high-level spells have extensible abilities, and their usage depends on imagination. Sometimes, their performance may seem completely different from their true abilities, perhaps due to some fusion effect or rules…

It’s like a magic show, and only the magician himself knows the principles behind it.

Yi Qingyan will soon know the answer.

“Ugh…!”

The girl suddenly held her forehead, her frail body swayed slightly for a moment, her brows were tightly furrowed, and she felt a pain like a knife or an axe cutting through her brain.

It was the familiar mental interference again, the exquisite and intense pain was like the torture of drilling into one’s heart and bones.

And this was the effect after being weakened by her true energy and special status. An ordinary spell-binding master would probably have fainted by now.

After the last torture, she began to get used to it. She raised her fingers without hesitation, and a second sharp blade that shattered space burst out from her fingertips.

In the distance, more buildings collapsed, and the cracks on the ground became more and more dense. A storm gradually raged in the sky, which was a violent turbulence formed by the disorder of space.

Yi Qingyan must fight quickly because the pain will become more and more intense, which means that her mind will be increasingly affected by the opponent’s curse. If she is completely controlled, she will be the loser.

Yi Qingyan raised her head subconsciously.

Although she couldn’t see the whole picture because her spell wasn’t from the psychic world, she could still sense the clear outline of the oppressive force above her with her special spell-binding master’s spiritual perception. A huge monster was hanging high in the sky of the spiritual world…

The star was emitting a terrifying gravitational force, sucking in the minds of all nearby creatures and turning them into dust.

The only way to end this is to chop off the other person’s head and stop the woman from thinking.

This is a game of racing against time, and Yi Qingyan believes that she will not lose because she has a significant advantage on the front battlefield.

After confirming that the other party was not dead, the next step was to crack this magic.

“Hey, sister Qingyan is really merciless.”

A woman’s voice sounded not far away, more than ten meters away.

The voice that was so familiar that it couldn’t be more familiar, of course, was An Zhizhen herself. I had already released the Blade of Infernal Affairs twice, but I didn’t notice her in that direction at all…

Yi Qingyan believed that her spiritual perception would not be so easily obscured.

Could it be that he had been interfered with by Tian Kui Quan Shou’s mind from the very beginning? When exactly?
However, she soon realized that

Yi Qingyan covered her forehead with her hands, a faint gasp coming out from between her lips and teeth. She stared at the blurry figure not far away.

The other party did not hide his spiritual perception, but did not exist in the beginning. It was only until now that the sense of existence belonging to “An Zhizhen” began to slowly grow.

Both the naked eye and the spiritual sense seemed to be deceived by some kind of “eye-catching trick”.

A familiar woman’s aura first appeared in that position. At this point, it was not possible to say that “that thing” or “that figure” was An Zhizhen herself. It was better to say that something else was mixed with “An Zhizhen”, which gave a weird and awkward feeling.

But as the overall sense of presence increased, in her perception, this figure really transformed into “An Zhizhen”.

While enduring the severe pain, Yi Qingyan thought of the answer to the puzzle. “Does this… have more than one meaning?”

“bingo.”

The blurry figure of the woman approached her with graceful steps and snapped her fingers.

“This is my stand-in.”

At this moment, the female high school student seemed to recall something and showed a look of realization.

“When we were at the truce, you said that you came to this place in your true form, and if you die, you really die…”

“Yes, because I’m with Dongsheng, I’m willing to expose my weaknesses.”

After hearing the affirmative answer, Yi Qingyan’s brows relaxed and she smiled.

“So what I said back then was the truth. Not bad, at least I wasn’t bluffing. Although I kind of regret not killing you then…”

“Ugh.”

The woman shook her head, her tone regretful and at the same time condescending with pity.

“Killing people at will and being unable to control your desires, how is this different from a beast? You are not worthy of being by his side.”

“Does your behavior of playing with life and using others as scapegoats suit him?”

Yi Qingyan sneered.

It is common for sisters to have irreconcilable conflicts, including ideological disputes over each other and jealousy over a man.

“The people I use as substitutes are all criminals. This job is just right for them. If everyone in this world can return to their proper place, play their value, and burn for the future of mankind… this is an ideal society.”

“Stop talking nonsense like that.”

The female high school student stared at the figure in front of her and had an idea in her mind.

“If I’m not mistaken, the number of ‘clones’ that can be used to bear your existence is limited, and ordinary spell-binding masters may not be able to meet the standards.”

If what she said, “only criminals are used to make substitutes,” is true, the scope will be further narrowed.

“Besides, even if this woman gathered all the curse masters in the city here, it wouldn’t be any more troublesome for me to kill them than it is now.”

Yi Qingyan thought to herself, and with a flick of her finger, another “An Zhizhen” was cut in half in front of the girl, blood splattered everywhere, her life was cut off, and she lost all sense of existence.

The other party did not resist, it seemed that he was just a prop to say a few words to her and to delay time…

But after killing her opponent, her headache did not get better and continued to get worse.

Obviously, there is more than one substitute; and because the transition of the substitute between life and death will directly lead to the increase or decrease of the individual’s sense of existence, before breaking An Zhizhen’s curse, it is impossible to find where the other substitutes are.

It seemed like a hopeless situation, but for Yi Qingyan…

The secret of the magic has been revealed, and the next problem can be solved in one go with brute force.

She no longer used her fingers or her sight as a medium to release the “Blade of Infernal Affairs”, but closed her eyes and allowed her intuition to expand wildly.

“This place… is the void…”

The female high school student silently recited the mantra in her heart.

At this moment, Yi Qingyan’s body blurred, and the surrounding space was like broken colored glass, reflecting the girl’s face at different angles, refracting colorful light.

When Yi Qingyan used instant teleportation, the spiritual star hanging high in the sky released a huge gravitational force, almost causing her soul to leave her body;
But the next moment, Yi Qingyan successfully broke free from this terrifying attraction and appeared in the city five kilometers away.

The girl who suddenly appeared on the busy street attracted the attention of passers-by, and those who passed by couldn’t help but scream:

“Hey, what, what’s going on?”

“When did she show up?”

“so beautiful……”

Yi Qingyan didn’t care about other people’s gazes. She gasped, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and stared in the direction of the battlefield.

Just two weeks after awakening the life ban, Yi Qingyan had already begun to master the second way of using “Infernal Hell” – long-distance movement measured in kilometers, which allowed her to directly escape the coverage area of ​​​​the star.

The future King of Equality will grow to an even more exaggerated level. Even if the enemy is in the bottomless abyss, it will only be one step away from her.

“Huh…huh…”

Yi Qingyan gently stroked her chest and calmed her breathing.

If it was just about escaping, she would have succeeded by now.

But she couldn’t escape—

The purpose of this battle is to determine the winner and kill the woman with one’s own hands.

Therefore, Yi Qingyan’s space transfer this time was just to temporarily leave the battlefield so that she could see the situation more clearly.

In the astonished eyes of passers-by, the girl’s figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

……

Yi Qingyan’s figure flickered, constantly shuttling through alleys, streets, rooftops, the sky and inside buildings, covering distances ranging from tens of meters to hundreds of meters.

While using space movement to approach the battlefield, the spiritual perception of the special-class spell-binding master expanded and released again.

Not within the scope of “Tian Kui Quan Shou”, Yi Qingyan’s thinking is not affected by the severe pain caused by mental interference, and her spiritual perception can capture the existence of “An Zhizhen”.

Although it is still unclear which one is the real body, all we have to do now is to keep repeating this process and kill them one by one.

In the consciousness that was like the bright moon in a deep pool, in that empty area, more than a dozen figures mixed with the elements of “An Zhizhen” were reflected.

“These are your puppets…”

The corners of the girl’s mouth turned up in a happy smile.

“You have nowhere to escape–!”

After completing the last teleportation, Yi Qingyan returned to the battlefield.

And in the next moment, her body stiffened and the air around her became stagnant and sticky, as if she was trapped in an endless quagmire.

“Ugh…!”

A mental storm that was ten times more intense than before was raging in Yi Qingyan’s mind.

Thin traces of blood flowed from the girl’s nose, eyes, and ears at the same time. Her pure and beautiful face was now twisted by pain and covered in blood, like a ghost.
