Chapter 61
“So many talismans?”
“This is way too extravagant, isn’t it?”
Talismans and magic weapons existed within the Demon-Slaying Division, but they were rare and hard to come by.
No one would carry so many on them, let alone toss out an entire stack like candy!
It was sheer opulence!
With the lightning talismans clearing the way, even though Ye Yiyi had demonized and reached a dangerous level of strength, she couldn’t withstand it under Zhang Chen’s dimension-reducing strikes.
Zhang Chen casually strolled up to Ye Yiyi.
Truly just walked right up.
Ye Yiyi tried to resist, only to be smacked around by the peachwood sword.
Then came more talismans—thrown like they were worthless.
Who could endure that?
The Demon-Slaying Division fought monsters all the time and never showed mercy.
But seeing Zhang Chen’s aggressive approach, they couldn’t help but feel a little… pity for Ye Yiyi.
Even though they weren’t supposed to pity demons.
Still…
This was just too brutal.
Just like that, Zhang Chen stood before Ye Yiyi.
She screeched in rage, her eyes completely devoid of sanity.
Her claw-like fingers slashed at Zhang Chen’s head.
But, with a light grasp, Zhang Chen crushed all her nails.
He was too strong.
Pfft!
Expressionless, Zhang Chen drove the peachwood sword straight through Ye Yiyi’s body.
In that moment, Director Wei and the others winced.
They’d been struggling the whole time, yet Zhang Chen handled it effortlessly.
Ye Fan’s eyes bulged with rage!
“Zhang Chen! Let go of my sister! I’ll kill you!!”
He watched as his only family was run through by Zhang Chen’s sword.
The shock nearly made him pass out.
Then came the roar of despair.
Zhang Chen saw it, in that moment of desperation and fury, the Qian Yuan Mirror on Ye Fan’s chest burst into full radiance.
Boom!
Ye Fan landed a punch that sent his opponent flying.
Like a wounded beast, he charged straight at Zhang Chen.
“Brother Zhang, look out!”
“Zhang Shao, be careful!”
Director Wei and the others cried out.
But Zhang Chen had already expected this.
He calmly spoke a single line and froze Ye Fan in his tracks:
“Want to turn your sister back into a human?”
Yes.
Just that one sentence.
Ye Fan, consumed by fury, was instantly rooted in place like he’d been hit with a petrification spell.
“W-what did you say?”
Ye Fan’s face was red, eyes were bloodshot.
“There’s a way to turn Ye Yiyi back into a human.”
Zhang Chen said lightly, completely unfazed by Ye Fan’s power surge.
After all, a Child of Fate couldn’t be judged by normal logic.
Truth be told, even Zhang Chen had been startled for a second.
Ye Fan had looked like a god descending, like Captain America possessed.
His strength had multiplied dozens of times.
Zhang Chen was thankful if he hadn’t spent all that time beforehand cutting off Ye Fan’s opportunities, ruining his fortune.
Tonight’s plan might have failed.
Ye Fan gradually regained his composure.
He’d heard it. There was still hope for his sister.
That allowed the last remnants of his sanity and conscience to return.
Of course, Ye Fan looked at Zhang Chen with intense hatred, suspicion, and deep anger.
“You think I’ll believe you?!”
“You don’t have to. Just see if you can break the Vajra barrier faster than I can kill your sister.”
Zhang Chen shrugged.
The peachwood sword was still embedded in Ye Yiyi, pinning her to the wall.
No matter how she screamed and struggled, she couldn’t break free.
After all, this was a magic weapon won from the system.
No way it’d be that easy to escape.
The pierced part of her body even started to burn.
“So? Want to give it a try?”
Zhang Chen smiled casually, even looking a little excited.
Ye Fan’s eyes turned red again!
He punched the barrier hard. But clearly, breaking it wasn’t going to be easy.
Even with the Qian Yuan Mirror enhancing him, he was still just short of enough power.
“Hurry up. Your sister won’t hold out much longer.”
Zhang Chen said with a grin, then released the peachwood sword.
A new talisman appeared in his hand.
“Oh, right, forgot to mention. The ones I used earlier were all low-grade talismans.”
He raised the one in his hand.
“But this one… is different.”
“Anyway, your sister’s already demonized. Killing her now is doing a public service.”
Zhang Chen said it so casually. Then asked Director Wei asked.
“Old Wei, I’m not wrong, right?”
“Nope! She’s no longer human. If we let her go, she’ll endanger all of Jiangdong City!”
Director Wei finally caught on.
He didn’t know what Zhang Chen was planning.
But he couldn’t deny the talismans and artifacts Zhang Chen had pulled out
had stunned them all.
Even the Demon-Slaying Division didn’t have that kind of inventory.
They had no idea where Zhang Chen got all that.
But regardless!
If not for Zhang Chen tonight, they might not have been able to handle demonized Ye Yiyi.
“She’s my sister!”
“Yeah—but she’s not human anymore.”
Zhang Chen replied calmly.
“Even if I let you take her away, are you going to keep her hidden like this forever?”
“Oh, and even if you do get away tonight, are you planning to watch her become a merciless killer? Or do you think you can evade the Demon-Slaying Division’s pursuit forever?”
Ye Fan was speechless. His mouth opened, but he couldn’t refute a word.
Earlier, he’d been overcome by rage and lost all reason.
Now that he was calm as much as he hated Zhang Chen, he couldn’t deny that Zhang Chen’s words were painfully true.
Ye Fan knew Ye Yiyi was no longer the same.
She had become a monster.
