Chapter 1324 The Returnee's Notes 398
This reaction startled Xie Ning, but she quickly regained her composure. Several blood-stained red ropes slipped from her hands and wrapped around the necks of the mirror spirits with lightning speed.
Yuexin scoffed, not believing that Xie Ning's actions could harm any of the mirror spirits. This was her mirror world, and she was not like her good-for-nothing son.
With a soft sound, the blood on the red rope instantly turned into flames, not the ordinary orange-red, but a deep, blood-red color. The Mirror Spirit that was rushing towards Xie Ning barely managed to stop its fingertips before her face. After a scream, it was engulfed in flames and turned to ashes in an instant.
Yuexin couldn't hide her surprise. "You have quite the ingenuity to think of using your own blood to amplify the power of the Li Huo."
Not everyone's blood is the same. Xie Ning's blood is more potent because she possesses merit, but that's about it.
Xie Ning charged toward Yue Xin with his sword, but his body felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. The next moment, his throat was locked. "I told you, this is the world in my mirror. All your resistance is futile. Even if you kill these few mirror spirits, thousands upon thousands more will appear. Similarly, even if you were to kill me here right now, I would not die."
Of course, you can't touch me yet.
If you die here, you're truly dead...
Xie Ning struggled to grab Yue Xin's wrist. The other party was indeed very strong, but she was only pretending to struggle. Otherwise, with the Soul Umbrella, she would never have been caught by Yue Xin so easily.
Xie Ning increased the pressure on her hands, "Cough cough—, I still have to thank you for saying so much and giving me so much time."
With a snap, Yuexin's wrist was broken.
At the same time, the entire world in the mirror began to shake as if an earthquake had struck, cracks appeared around it, and it was collapsing.
"I may not be able to kill you, but I can at least seriously injure you!"
With that, he grabbed Yuexin's severed wrist with one hand and slashed forward with the other. The blade sliced across Yuexin's neck, and in her suddenly widened eyes, Xie Ning's figure gradually blurred.
"Hehe—"
While in the basement of the research institute, Yuexin subconsciously covered her neck and gasped for breath. She wouldn't die in the mirror, but she was still conscious. She never expected that at this age, she would experience the feeling of death again in the hands of a child.
"Linchuan, you..."
Bang--
The door burst open, and a team of people dressed in black combat uniforms rushed in.
Lu Qiyuan ran in the lead, shouting, "There are people here!"
He was running when a bullet whizzed past his head, startling him so much that he cursed, "Who! Who fired that shot!"
No one responded to him, because after that first shot, several more shots grazed him, but unfortunately none of them hit their target.
Seeing the scene gradually distorting before her eyes, Zhu Xin couldn't help but shout, "Retreat!"
She had just received a message from Xie Ning that anyone who saw the woman in the photo should be shot immediately, which is why she acted without hesitation.
Yuexin leaned against a huge bronze mirror, coldly watching the group of people who were about to be pulled into the mirror, "Overestimating themselves."
She will leave after dealing with these people. This place will become a purgatory, and she cannot stay any longer. As long as she leaves, no matter how powerful the other party is, they will not be able to break through. It's just a pity that Xie Ning and those few people who know Taoist arts will probably be able to escape.
After speaking these words into the bronze mirror, Yuexin placed her hand on it and sighed, "Linchuan, I'm sorry, but this time you're probably really going to die. But it's worth it for me."
The bronze mirror remained silent, gradually revealing the appearance of a man wearing an old-fashioned shirt. Unlike the other mirror spirits whose bodies were entirely black and whose faces were indistinguishable, he retained his original appearance.
If Xie Ning were here, he would definitely notice that this person's face bears a striking resemblance to Yi Mingzhu, because this person is none other than Yi Mingzhu's father, Lin Chuan.
"Yuexin, you should be more rational."
"I'm perfectly clear-headed. I didn't do anything wrong. Besides, don't you think breaking the order is a very interesting thing? Hahahaha—"
"You're all too stupid, trained like rabbits. No, even rabbits will bite when cornered, but tamed people won't."
"Boss!"
Zhu Xin caught a glimpse of Xie Ning and, without realizing it, blurted out the nickname they used to call Xie Ning behind her back, which also caught Yue Xin's attention.
"How could it be so fast!?"
Yuexin's pupils contracted, and she quickly turned and left.
But the three copper coins landed in front of her, blocking her retreat, and the door that had been opened in front of her disappeared from her sight.
Xie Ning was panting heavily. She had run too fast. After regaining her senses, she ran non-stop towards the research institute. On the way, she received a message from Zhu Xin, confirmed the location, and with Xiaomai's help, rushed to the scene as quickly as possible.
Yuexin almost got away.
Seeing the exit blocked, Yuexin's face darkened. "You're all really courting death!"
Xie Ning ignored her and attacked without a word. She had a wound on her waist and abdomen, and blood had soaked through her light-colored clothes. After all, it was her own body that was the point of attack. The fact that she only suffered minor injuries after a missile hit was thanks to the skill of the team behind her.
Keep in mind that there was a huge crater around her, and the car overturned.
She broke the formation by using such external force.
Although it was a bit violent, it was effective enough, not to mention that she had added her own ingredients to those missiles.
Seeing that the surrounding space was about to distort again, Xie Ning directly scattered a handful of yellow talismans, which she had obtained from Old Wang. These were also for setting up formations; of course, they couldn't break Yue Xin's Mirror Realm, but they could cause trouble.
Xie Ning's unconventional approach indeed disrupted Yue Xin's plans.
With only a brief pause, Xie Ning had already rushed in front of her, but before he could touch her, he was blocked by a mirror spirit that was about two meters tall.
Xie Ning glanced in the direction of the huge bronze mirror and saw that the original man was gone, leaving only a pitch-black mirror with something seemingly wriggling on it.
Seemingly sensing Xie Ning's peripheral vision, the thing also looked over; it was eyes, and countless eyes at that.
After just a second of eye contact, Xie Ning felt dizzy, a voice echoing in his mind, and he instinctively shouted, "Blow it up!"
Lu Qiyuan was closest to the mirror. When he saw Xie Ning rushing up, he was still in a daze, but upon hearing this, he grabbed a small bomb and threw it towards the mirror without hesitation.
At the same time, several bombs were also thrown.
"No!" Yuexin seemed very anxious.
Xie Ning killed the mirror spirit that was blocking her way. Seeing that Yue Xin was about to run towards the bronze mirror, and that the spirit's hands were still forming an unknown hand seal, the next instant, Yue Xin's neck and limbs were bound by a red rope.
This thing couldn't control her for long, so Xie Ning quickly followed up with a sword strike. The slender tip of the sword pierced straight through Yue Xin's chest, and bright red blood dripped down the blade to the ground.
With the sound of the bomb exploding, the bronze mirror shattered.
Yuexin pulled herself out of her body, turned around and looked at Xie Ning quietly. Perhaps it was because everything was developing in accordance with the divination results that she felt much calmer.
"Actually, you, you're all wrong, hehe..."
Yuexin chuckled softly for a while, but still couldn't help but kneel down in pain. Linchuan was wrong. It thought that destroying the bronze mirror would free it, and that she would die too, but it was precisely that bronze mirror that bound her as well.
You're wrong.
Yuexin raised her blood-stained palm upwards. "I've investigated you. You're a child similar to my eldest daughter, just too soft-hearted, hesitant in your actions, clinging to damned morality to try and be a good person, but there are no good people in this world..."
Therefore, this world deserves to die, and people deserve to die too.
Xie Ning didn't quite understand Yue Xin's words, and then in the next instant, Yue Xin grasped her sword. "I have a story that I haven't told Mingzhu yet, so I'll tell it to you today."
But she didn't have time to talk about it, leaving only a yellowed book behind.
Yuexin's eyes slowly closed. She wouldn't die, but she would make everyone think she was dead. This was the final act of putting herself in a desperate situation and then surviving, as indicated by the divination.
