"You're just a seventeen-year-old girl. How could you be so calculating?"
"Calculating? Do you really think so?"
The smile on Zhao Shuning's face deepened a bit.
"Lin Siyuan, let me tell you one more thing. I was the one behind the incident of the concubines from the brothel."
Lin Siyuan's aura suddenly turned dangerous.
Zhao Shuning continued, "Those two girls, under the protection of your father, actually beat two young servants to death in the brothel. Then they drowned the parents of the servants who came to seek justice. Lin Siyuan, tell me, is there any justice in this world?"
Chu Wen watched this scene.
He lowered his head and whispered to Chu Nuan, "This girl is no ordinary person."
"Brother, when she talks, her aura is so much like that of the Empress."
Chu Wen looked up, observed for a while, and then nodded.
"She does bear a resemblance."
"It's a pity that this girl is related to Lin Feng. Otherwise, her temperament would really suit me."
"Yes, it's hard to find someone in the world with a temperament so similar to the master's."
However, the Empress was no longer in this world. The girl before them was just the young lady of the Zhao family.
Lin Siyuan's spiritual energy fluctuations were getting stronger and stronger.
When Chu Wen and Chu Nuan realized this, they quickly shouted at Zhao Shuning, "Miss Zhao, be careful!"
Zhao Shuning gave a charming smile. She gently tapped the ground with her toes and soared into the air.
Familiar spiritual energy slowly surged as Zhao Shuning formed hand seals. A layer of cyan-purple light glowed around her body.
"Lin Siyuan, since I dared to tell you these things, do you think I'll let you go back?"
Lin Siyuan felt a sense of unease.
"Do you think you can stop me? Zhao Shuning, do you think I've made no progress in the past year?"
"Blood Cloud Slaughter!"
As he finished speaking, a large amount of blood mist began to surge around Lin Siyuan's body. As the hand seals in his hands changed, the blood mist became thicker and thicker.
Those with spiritual energy below level five began to feel dizzy.
Zhao Shuning gently pointed her finger in mid-air and calmly said, "The Life-Bestowing Blade, break."
Zhao Shuning's spiritual energy split into thousands of small blades. Wherever the blades passed, the blood mist dispersed, and the air returned to normal.
Chu Wen and Chu Nuan were shocked when they saw this.
Surprise filled their faces.
"The Life-Bestowing Blade? This move. The master often used it when she was alive."
Chu Nuan continued, "Yes, and when the master used the Life-Bestowing Blade, she often used the Soul-Slaying Seal."
As if to confirm their speculation.
When the Life-Bestowing Blade had completely cleared the blood mist, Zhao Shuning tilted her eyes slightly, and a familiar smile appeared on her lips.
Then, she placed her palm downward and skillfully formed new hand seals.
"Soul-Slaying Seal, appear!"
A huge handprint suddenly pressed towards Lin Siyuan.
The spiritual power was so powerful that in just a short moment, Lin Siyuan's body couldn't bear it. His legs suddenly bent, and he knelt on the ground with a thud.
At this moment, the shock on Situ Yun's face behind Zhao Shuning was hard to hide.
What kind of a genius was this? In just a few years, Zhao Shuning's ability had directly advanced from a fourth-level spiritual pharmacist to the seventh realm.
Such a terrifying talent. In this world, apart from the Empress Ye Ling, no one could match her.
Chu Wen and Chu Nuan glanced at each other. They both saw disbelief in each other's eyes.
They had just mentioned it casually.
Who would have thought that the move the girl used next would be the Soul-Slaying Seal.
You know, the master Ye Ling had also taught them the Soul-Slaying Seal, but she had only demonstrated it once in front of them.
Later, after receiving the order, they had gone to the border. When they came back, they had never seen Ye Ling again, nor had they seen anyone else use this move.
Moreover, before parting with Ye Ling, Ye Ling had also said a word. When they came back, she would teach them a new move - the Breaking of the Kǎn Water Technique.
It was said that the Breaking of the Kǎn Water Technique could generate seawater and lake water in various forms from mid-air, and then turn them into sharp weapons. Don't underestimate the power of water.
If the water was still, it would be gentle and delicate. But if the water flowed and was infused with spiritual energy, its lethality would also be terrifying.
However, until now, Chu Wen and Chu Nuan had never seen the Breaking of the Kǎn Water Technique.
The expressions of Chu Wen, Chu Nuan, and Situ Yun were still okay.
All their attention was focused on Zhao Shuning in mid-air.
So no one noticed that Huan'er's mouth was wide open, almost big enough to fit a whole egg.
Oh my god, she had never known that the young lady could be so cool!
When she mobilized her spiritual energy, when she hovered in the air, when the hand seals in her hands were constantly changing, the sharpness and confidence on her face made Huan'er once wonder what kind of powerful person the young lady she had accompanied before was.
In the Lin Mansion, the young lady was so weak.
Now, she was valiant and heroic.
She could even fight against the young master of the Lin family. Moreover, this fight was like a one-sided beating.
The contrast was just too big!
Under Zhao Shuning's pressure, Lin Siyuan's expression gradually became crazy.
But the power on his hands was too strong, and he had no way to resist.
Just when Lin Siyuan felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, the power suppressing him suddenly disappeared.
His legs were suddenly liberated.
He looked at Zhao Shuning in mid-air.
Lin Siyuan asked, "What are you doing?"
"Nothing. I just want you to know that the gap between you and me is something you can never reach in your lifetime."
"Why don't you kill me?"
"Why should I kill you?"
"Then what do you want to do?"
Zhao Shuning said, "I won't kill you, but I want to cripple your spiritual root."
Lin Siyuan took a step back, his eyes looking terrifying as he said, "You might as well kill me. Without a spiritual root, it would be a fatal blow to a spiritual pharmacist."
"How much of a blow it will be to you is not my concern."
Zhao Shuning slowly landed.
She walked towards Lin Siyuan step by step and slowly said, "Back then, Beauty Xiao helped me. Although it was just a few simple words, because of that, I can spare your life."
"Since that's the case, why do you want to cripple my spiritual root?"
"Because - Ye Xingchen!"
As soon as the three words Ye Xingchen came out, Lin Siyuan's body suddenly stiffened.
"Who are you to him? Back then?"
"You don't need to worry about that."
Zhao Shuning now turned her gaze to the siblings Chu Wen and Chu Nuan and then said, "Do you still remember the Breaking of the Kǎn Water Technique I mentioned? Actually, it has another function, which is to completely destroy the spiritual root of the opponent spiritual pharmacist."
Chu Wen and Chu Nuan looked up in surprise. Was the girl talking to them?
"Chu Wen and Chu Nuan, watch carefully. I'll only demonstrate this move once."
