Just as her finger was about to fall, she dodged away.
Lu Zhufeng's speed was astonishing; his hand reached for her wrist at the speed of light.
At the same time, a blue light blade cleaved through the vast purple light barrier, and as if it had eyes, it swept towards Aisie Hall's body with lightning speed.
Aisie Hall's hand was enveloped in purple light as he grabbed the light blade and squeezed it hard, causing the blade to scatter into light specks.
Her gaze turned slightly cold, and she sighed softly, "You reacted very quickly."
Lu Zhufeng, who had returned to stand guard in front of Xiao Wujie, was almost drenched in a cold sweat.
He wasn't afraid of Aisie Hall, but her strange and unpredictable magic was truly difficult to defend against.
Today it's her clone; if it were the real her, he probably wouldn't be able to stop her.
Sweat beaded on his forehead as he bent down to check on Xiao Wujie, asking in a low, urgent voice, "Are you alright?"
Xiao Wujie shook his head.
On the other side, it was naturally Chu Liyue who shattered Aisie Hall's magical light barrier. She didn't say a word, but wielded her lightsaber with ruthless and deadly moves, aiming straight for vital points.
Lu Zhufeng stood protectively in front of Xiao Wujie, watching Chu Liyue and Aisie Hall's figures intertwined, and said in a low voice, "Yunmo, go help her, don't give her a chance to catch her breath."
"No need, Yunmo, go to the underground laboratory." Xiao Wujie suddenly interrupted calmly.
Lu Zhufeng's eyes narrowed: "You mean to say..."
"What do you think she's trying to do by talking nonsense for so long? She just wants to lure out her sister, find out the location of the underground laboratory, and destroy the reagents and those research results."
"Sister, you're taking so long to arrive. You must have been prepared. But you should go and take a look. Maybe Sister Qingyi and Ye Jinyu are still guarding there."
Upon hearing this, Yunmo did not hesitate and immediately disappeared from the spot.
Aisie Hall's clone was clearly no match for Chu Liyue, and was forced to retreat steadily, with the purple light around him growing dimmer.
A moment later, Aisie Hall suddenly raised an eyebrow and chuckled coldly: "You're quite alert."
Chu Liyue's face was as cold as ice, her eyes were sharp, and her movements were ruthless and unwavering.
The manor is her stronghold, the impregnable empire she built herself.
Besides the private rooms, the place is equipped with hidden high-tech surveillance cameras in every corner, which she noticed the moment Aisie Hall appeared.
She also guessed that her purpose would not be singular; the laboratory was made of high-tech metal that could withstand flooding, fire, and heavy bombing.
The smart access control system will not allow anyone outside the manor to enter. Even in case of an accident, she has backed up the experimental data and reagents to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Her only worry was that Aisie Hall's underhanded methods would be detrimental to Xiao Wujie.
In the sharp flash of the sword, blood quickly appeared on Aisie Hall's body, his silver hair disheveled and scattered across his forehead.
With a difficult wave of her hand, she blocked a sword light, but her body was forced back several steps. Looking at Chu Liyue, who was rushing towards her with the intention of killing her, her eyes turned cold and a sinister smile appeared on her lips. Suddenly, she ignored the blade that was piercing straight towards her heart.
She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her fingertips, and with a soft, sinister laugh, she uttered a cold and complex incantation.
As Chu Liyue's gaze turned cold and sharp, and her lightsaber pierced her heart without hesitation, she was disheveled and coughing up blood, but suddenly looked up, her demonic face turned to the sky.
The next instant, she let out a shrill, ghostly scream.
The sound was like the gates of hell opening wide, piercing through the hideous hell and going straight into people's eardrums.
Even more terrifying was the strange power that seemed to be mixed in with the sound. Centered on Aisie Hall, the sound waves swept across the area, causing even the hard road surface to crack.
The shrill scream made Chu Liyue frown, but she suddenly turned around and shouted coldly, "Lu Zhufeng, cover A-Jie's ears!"
The four senses are lost, but the sense of hearing is extremely sensitive.
Suffering from illness, mentally weakened and fragile.
To Chu Liyue and Lu Zhufeng, the sound was merely unbearable, but to Xiao Wujie, it was like sharp needles relentlessly tugging at the taut strings of his fragile mind.
Veins bulged down his neck, his brows were furrowed tightly, and he let out a low, suppressed groan of pain.
Almost the instant Chu Liyue shouted, Lu Zhufeng reached out and covered Xiao Wujie's ears.
But with the help of the supernatural technique, the sound penetrated the eardrums as if it were everywhere. Even though Lu Zhufeng covered Xiao Wujie's ears tightly, the pain on Xiao Wujie's face did not lessen in the slightest.
He seemed to be enduring immense torment; his jaw was clenched, large beads of cold sweat trickled down his forehead and cheeks, and his neck was instinctively tilted back.
It was a mixture of unbearable pain and a desperate attempt to restrain something.
With a "whoosh," as Chu Liyue's lightsaber slashed down fiercely, Aisie Hall's body turned into purple light specks that flew everywhere.
Before the light faded, her sinister gaze remained fixed on Xiao Wujie's direction.
The shrill sound, amplified by the supernatural power, echoed for a full half minute before disappearing.
Chu Liyue held Xiao Wujie in her arms, a hint of panic appearing in her usually calm and cold eyes: "Baby, where does it hurt? Tell your sister."
In her arms, Xiao Wujie looked to be in extreme pain, his brows furrowed, a deep moan escaping from his clenched teeth, his whole body soaked in cold sweat.
The pain seemed to have reached a critical point, and he couldn't hold on any longer. He collapsed, completely exhausted, and fainted. His thin lips were slightly parted, unable to make a sound, but they were still moving slightly.
Chu Liyue picked him up and went to find Ye Jinyu. She could barely make out the first two words he said based on the subtle shape of his lips: "No."
Xiao Wujie was taken to the emergency room of the underground laboratory. Everyone was used to the agonizing wait that lasted for hours every time he went in. This time, Ye Jinyu opened the door and came out after only half an hour, which made everyone subconsciously feel that there would be no serious impact this time.
But when they saw Ye Jinyu's gloomy face, their hearts sank.
"Come in."
When everyone entered the emergency room, Xiao Wujie, who was lying on the hospital bed, looked normal except for his pale face. He didn't even have an IV drip in his hand.
Chu Liyue silently walked to the bedside and sat down, placing her palm on Xiao Wujie's cold hand. Without turning around, she whispered, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Ye Jinyu, hands tucked into his white coat, frowned slightly. After a few seconds, he spoke in a cold, deep voice:
"First of all, he's fine."
"However, the sharp sound waves severely stimulated his hearing."
"His nervous system was already damaged. His hearing was sensitive because the other four senses were lost, and the remaining sense was amplified, making it seem sensitive, but it was actually fragile."
“Under the stimulation of sound waves, his hearing will disappear at an accelerated rate. In my judgment, his hearing will be completely lost within about two days.”
His gaze fell upon Xiao Wujie on the hospital bed, a hint of pity suddenly appearing on his face. "The drug trial will probably take another seven to ten days, including the time needed to prepare for the surgery—"
"For about a week before the surgery, he would be in a state of complete loss of his five senses."
