Chapter 153 Junior Sister
"Jin Fuzhen sent you to kill me, didn't she?" Mu Jianjian's eyes fell into the shadows, and a breeze blew through her hair, concealing the golden threads that shimmered in her eyes.
"You don't need to know." Qu You stared at the girl below as if she were a dead person.
Although he felt her presence was very familiar, Qu You didn't take it to heart, thinking it was just his imagination.
He gently raised his hand, and a red bell appeared and quickly enveloped the young woman. The "clanging" sound lingered in her ears, sounding extremely eerie in the dark and silent forest.
He intends to kill her here with a single move!
Mu Jianjian's expression was cold and stern. She clearly remembered how she felt when she first met him in the Xuan Tian Secret Realm—
Tense and helpless, waiting for death to approach, all she could do was run away, but now she was different.
Regardless of what secret technique the other party used to revive from the dead.
Her right pupil flickered, and countless illusory butterflies fluttered and danced in her right eye, forming illusory lines that then connected to form a surface that was imprinted in her mind. Mu Jianjian's body, which was originally wrapped in red lines, instantly disappeared from the spot and instead landed behind Qu You, slashing down with a knife.
Watching her opponent dodge the attack as expected, Mu Jianjian swung her hairpin, the Morning and Evening Hairpin, and dodged the red threads one by one, remaining completely unharmed despite the swift attack!
Qu You let out a soft "Ah," and his figure finally emerged from the shadows as he dodged. The moonlight shone on his body, revealing that his appearance was completely different from what he had seen in the secret realm!
He was eight feet tall and imposing, with a rugged and tough face. The only similarity between him and the previous one was that both of them were floating in the air with their feet not touching the ground.
"Your secret technique is quite similar to mine." Qu You only truly took her seriously and paid attention to her after the girl in front of him dodged his attack. A strange look flashed in his eyes.
Mu Jianjian's breath hitched.
When she first started using her pupil technique, she associated it with his use of true energy to transform and fill space. However, if you really traced the origin of the pupil technique in her right eye, she actually didn't know.
It's like having many memories removed from your brain, but the physiological effects of the process are indelible.
The red thread wrapped around Qu You's fingertips was incredibly sharp. Even a slight scratch on the surrounding trees could create deep cracks. No trees fell in its path, but the earth trembled and emitted a piercing roar.
Mu Jianjian recalled the time when her right hand was severed by the red thread, and she smiled, "Fighting is fine, but damaging trees is not good."
The slogan "Strictly prohibit indiscriminate logging and protect trees and the environment" has deeply resonated with Mu Jianjian, a model youth of the 21st century.
Qu You sneered. He made a grasping motion in the air, and although he hadn't gotten close to the girl, her body instantly fell in front of him!
"You want to control the trees? I'm going to chop down your head!"
The powerful pressure of the Core Formation stage approached through the opponent's true energy, but Mu Jianjian, who had experienced the suppression of the secret realm's laws, did not take it to heart. Instead of advancing, she retreated and slightly parted her lips.
"Butterfly Shadow".
Mu Jianjian stared at the man who seemed to have lost his composure. She intended to use her pupil technique to create distance between them before attempting to use the incense poison to detonate the surrounding air. However, she was surprised to find that the man's expression had inexplicably changed, and his eyes looked at her like those of a demon about to drag a living person into an abyss.
She was startled and knew something was wrong. She tried to create some distance, but the man seemed to have seen through her moves and grabbed her illusory butterfly with his bare hands!
As a living being, the Illusionary Butterfly is most sensitive to the fluctuations of true energy in the air. It is formed by her right pupil technique and should only be visible to her. So why was the other party able to capture the Illusionary Butterfly?
"Little sister, where did you learn this eye technique?" Qu You's suppressed laughter grew louder and louder, as shrill as a mournful melody played by a broken violin.
Mu Jianjian felt a pain in her right eye, and then she saw that in the air where there were only pale-colored phantom butterflies, black butterflies with countless shimmering patterns suddenly appeared out of thin air!
Whose is this... this black butterfly?
Mu Jianjian gasped, a sense of foreboding rising within her.
The next second, the other person's words confirmed her guess.
"The appearance of this kind of illusionary butterfly is a major taboo for eye techniques. If you encounter someone who doesn't understand the technique, it's fine, but if you encounter someone who does understand the technique, you'll be handing your weakness to the enemy."
More and more black butterflies spread through the air, even swooping down to surround Mu Jianjian and enveloping her. He raised an eyebrow as if suddenly remembering something, "Oh right, maybe I shouldn't call you little sister, I should call you..."
"Junior Sister".
The last three words sent chills down Mu Jianjian's spine, and her hands and feet turned icy cold.
That's absurd.
The pupil technique she inexplicably acquired was actually from the same sect as the person who came from the upper realm to hunt her down!
She recalled the booklet she had unearthed in the secret Zhuge Pavilion, which contained instructions on how to learn eye techniques. The web of fate had woven her together layer upon layer, leaving her breathless.
Mu Jianjian didn't harbor any illusions that since they were from the same sect, he would let her go or even treat her as a junior sister. Based on the man's personality after their second meeting, she was more likely to arrest her and interrogate her about how she secretly learned the secret technique.
At this moment, the light in her left eye was normal, but her right pupil was already surrounded by countless black butterflies from the other party. The light was swallowed up, and then endless darkness followed.
The other person's words were telling her in a blatant way—
Stop using your eye techniques; his cultivation level is higher than hers, so it's useless.
“I don’t want to kill you anymore… I’m really curious about you,” Qu You’s eyes, though filled with pleasure, held a deep madness. “I remember… you are Mu Jianjian, the young lady of the Xuan Shuang Sect. Why do you know the Pupil Transformation Technique?”
As night gradually fell, thick clouds covered the ground. The trees within a hundred miles had already been uprooted and cut down in the previous battles, lying across the uneven ground. Only the two men remained standing opposite each other.
The man spoke casually, and his feet, which seemed to float in mid-air, touched the ground without making a sound, yet they brought a suffocating sense of oppression to Mu Jianjian.
Mu Jianjian lowered her eyes. Just as she was about to move, she found herself surrounded by a transparent wall. She stared in astonishment at Qu You, who was approaching her step by step.
Was he unable to unleash his full power in the secret realm because he was restricted by the laws?
Now, one move is enough to trap her in place, unable to move!
“Junior Sister, this is how you use the Pupil Transformation Technique. It’s not about exposing your weaknesses to the enemy with ‘Butterfly Shadow’,” Qu You smiled as she saw that the girl wanted to use her true energy to “break through the barrier.” “If I were you, I wouldn’t waste my true energy on this.”
"Then what should we do?"
Mu Jianjian met the man's eyes.
So this is called the Pupil Transformation Technique... No wonder he could see right through her at a glance, given that she had only reached the second level.
“Tell me how you learned this technique,” Qu Youming said with a smile, but his voice grew increasingly somber. “Who implanted the pupil-changing technique into your right eye?”
