1136: Chapter 290_4 1136: Chapter 290_4 Bi Yue grabbed at emptiness, her actions only intensifying the malicious aura she emitted.
“You managed to avoid my attack, even though I haven’t released a Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills, nor have you,” she accused with growing intensity.
“Under these circumstances, where neither of us has unleashed our Golden Pills, not even someone with the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection could dodge my attack.
Cao Zhen, you truly have been concealing your true self.
I must see who you really are and what exactly is inside your Qiankun Bag.”
As the final word left her lips, behind her materialized a vast Golden Core consolidated from nine different abnormal phenomenon Golden Pills.
The space behind her seemed unable to withstand the power of this appearance and continuously exploded while shockwaves resonated in the air.
Behind Cao Zhen appeared nine abnormal phenomenon Golden Pills as well, along with the Heretical Golden Core atop his head, which he hadn’t released in a long time.
Often, he could overcome his opponents without unleashing it, and previously, in the Boundless Bloody Hell, he hadn’t needed to exert any effort—his disciple could handle the Demonic Beasts.
As the Heretical Golden Core appeared, Cao Zhen’s aura climbed to an unimaginably terrifying level.
The next moment, Immortal Bi Yue wielded her silk ribbons, which she had always used for flying, striking toward him.
The ribbons danced through the air like a Divine Dragon descending from heaven, aiming straight for Cao Zhen’s face.
Cao Zhen, intensely focused, dodged swiftly to the side as he watched the descending ribbons—a feat impossible for his past self at such close proximity under Immortal Bi Yue’s assault.
However, having cultivated the Eight Nine Mysterious Art, his dodge was so adept that he entirely evaded the falling ribbons.
But in the next moment, the ribbons abruptly curved and continued their assault toward him.
Simultaneously, the two bells on the ribbons collided, emitting a dragon chant.
In an instant, Cao Zhen felt as though a Divine Dragon roared right before his face.
He now confirmed that Bi Yue was from the Dragon Chant Sect—it truly was a dragon’s chant!
Because of this dragon chant, he momentarily paused, and the curving ribbon had already reached his face.
In a critical moment, Cao Zhen kept moving, dodging to the side while shouting at Immortal Bi Yue, “Bi Yue, calm down—you have been tainted by the Demonic Qi!
Check your body.”
“Demonic Qi has tainted me, haven’t you been tainted as well?” retorted Bi Yue, her pretty face frosty, but a smile lingering at the corner of her mouth.
Seeing this smile, a phrase flashed in Cao Zhen’s mind—’Terrifyingly beautiful.’
That phrase must have been invented for Bi Yue…
Wait, why is she smiling?
Cao Zhen suddenly stopped, looking puzzledly at Bi Yue.
“That’s wrong, you’re smiling—have you recovered?”
If Immortal Bi Yue was still under the influence of the black Demonic Qi, she wouldn’t be showing such a smile.
“Master Cao is truly discerning,” said Bi Yue as she retracted her ribbons, teasingly looking at him.
“Just now, that dragon chant snapped me out of it.
You’ve really kept yourself hidden; even under my full force, influenced as I was, I couldn’t hit you.
Furthermore, it’s clear that you noticed the black Demonic Qi before I did and even suppressed it.
Master Cao, shouldn’t you explain to me, your comrade, what your origins really are?”
While she spoke teasingly, her heart was full of shock.
She had attacked with full force yet Cao Zhen had dodged every move; the only possibility was that, like her, he too had reached the limits of the Golden Core Stage!
