It was normal for Luo Anxu to be silenced because he was an ordinary person. However, it was different for Qi Yuan and Mo Xiaoxiao. As the Chancellor's secretaries, they were powerful enough. Yet, they were brutally murdered. What kind of expert could kill them in such a short time?
Ji Chenxue looked around. She realized that the Transit String was not here. However, Zhong Yalin was lying on the grass. Her life force was still normal. She was probably unconscious.
On the steps of the villa's entrance, a man in a suit stood as straight as a javelin. His appearance and figure were very ordinary. He was also the type that would not stand out in a crowd. However, his attire was very strange because there was a long sword in a black scabbard at his waist.
Although Ding Meng did not understand the changes in Chancellor Wen Yang in the past three years, he knew how terrifying this person was. He had always suspected that this person was the boss of the Hidden Front. This person was the core member of the Hidden Front, Officer No. 2.
Ding Meng secretly activated the origin. "We meet again!"
No. 2 nodded slowly. However, his attention was not on Ding Meng at all. His face was like a hard piece of granite, as cold as a ten-thousand-year-old iceberg.
However, when his empty, white eyes landed on Ji Chenxue, a trace of passion flashed across his eyes. His lifeless face had a strange change as if he was a hungry wolf that had seen a piece of juicy meat.
Ji Chenxue usually faced such gazes many times. However, at this moment, she felt an unprecedented nervousness. Being stared at by this person was like a wild beast falling into a trap. This was an experience she had never experienced before.
"Did you kill all these people?" Ji Chenxue gathered her courage and asked.
No. 2 did not seem to be good at talking. He coldly glanced at the unconscious Zhong Yalin in the grass. "There are only two kinds of people I don't kill!"
Ji Chenxue was a little surprised. "Which two?"
No. 2 replied indifferently, "Beautiful women and children!"
This answer surprised even Ding Meng. "You've been waiting here for a long time?"
Number 2 said, "You have two choices."
Ding Meng frowned. "Which two?"
Number 2 said slowly, "Agree to the Head of State's proposal immediately."
Ding Meng sighed. "I've already discussed this with the head of state."
Number 2 said, "Looks like you didn't agree?"
Ding Meng said, "Yes!"
Number 2 said, "Then your other choice is to wait for death."
Ji Chenxue sneered, "He may not be waiting for death."
Number 2 looked at her. "You also have two choices. The first is to immediately agree to the Head of State's suggestion and become his wife."
"Looks like you haven't woken up yet!" Ji Chenxue sneered even more.
Number 2 said, "I personally hope that you will reject the head of state."
Ji Chenxue was stunned again.
Number 2 said, "Because once you reject the head of state, then I will have the right to decide what to do with you. I will play with you well. I haven't tasted a woman like you for many years."
These were obviously very flirtatious words, but he said it so seriously. This made Ji Chenxue feel a chill in his heart.
"You seem to like women a lot?" Ding Meng suddenly asked.
"Yes!" Number 2's expression became serious. "Women and death are the origins."
Ding Meng and Ji Chenxue found it hard to understand these words.
"Unfortunately, you won't understand."
Number 2's expression returned to normal. He looked at Ji Chenxue again, and his gaze became thoughtful. "Looking at your strength, at most three days."
Ji Chenxue frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Number 2 said, "I can play with you for three days. After three days, you won't be able to take it anymore and will be played to death by me!"
Ji Chenxue was infuriated. She had never heard such obscenities in her entire life.
Number 2, however, was very serious. "That's already very good. Very few women can last a day with me. You should be proud that you can enjoy me for three days."
"You can go die now!" Ji Chenxue couldn't take it anymore. Her figure flickered, and she shot out.
She was indeed worthy of being called the National Goddess. Even her movements had a kind of elegance. The way she flew out was like a dance. Coupled with her clothes, she really looked like she was floating in the air.
She intertwined her palms and pressed them together. With her right elbow as the center, she created a semi-arc of red and blue Origin Energy in front of her. She tried to send the Origin Energy toward Number 2.
Number 2's eyes lit up. "Not bad!"
Even Ding Meng was nodding. This was the first person he had ever seen who could combine both heat and ice into one. Just this point alone was enough to show that Ji Chenxue's foundation technique was not low.
Number 2 watched as the scorching and bone-piercing Origin Energy arrived in front of him. He didn't panic at all. He actually raised his right elbow and met Ji Chenxue's attack head-on.
There was a muffled "peng" sound.
The air didn't distort, nor did it vibrate. Ji Chenxue was sent flying into the air before falling back to her original position.
However, she wasn't discouraged. This was because she had been testing the waters with her first move. Her opponent was definitely very strong, which was to be expected.
However, Ding Meng didn't think that way. Although Number 2 seemed to have met Ji Chenxue's attack head-on, it was as if he had absorbed Ji Chenxue's Origin Energy and used his elbow to force Ji Chenxue back. This was something that Ji Chenxue probably didn't understand.
Sure enough, Ji Chenxue secretly increased her Origin Energy and flew into the air once more. This time, she didn't use any Martial Skills or release any Origin Energy. She was like a person in a painting as she floated toward Number 2.
This situation was extremely strange, and it made people feel as if they were in a trance. She seemed to be flying, but she also seemed to be walking on the ground. She had clearly floated over, but for some reason, she had suddenly appeared at Number 2's flank. This was definitely an extremely powerful movement technique.
What followed was an exaggerated scene. A total of five Ji Chenxue's surrounded Number 2. None of them were doppelgangers, but real people. Furthermore, each of them had their own unique characteristics. Some were proficient in the Quick Step Kick Technique, some were proficient in the use of fists and palms, some were able to directly release Origin Energy, and some were able to fly around in the air.
Every move of Ji Chenxue's was clearly a technique that had been passed down through the hands of a famous expert. Not only were their postures elegant and their forms varied, but the five of them were also able to connect perfectly with one another. There were no openings at all. A faint white lotus-shaped force field enveloped the steps of the villa.
This was an eye-opener for Ding Meng. Ji Chenxue's doppelgangers were actually using his own secret technique, the [Solitary Serene Lotus Steps]. However, their realms were clearly higher than his. The doppelgangers were able to use a variety of fists and palms, and they were all top-tier martial arts techniques. As for what kind of formation they were using, Ding Meng had no idea.
The strength that Ji Chenxue was currently displaying was something that Ding Meng could not achieve even when he had just become a [War God]. This number one beauty of the Empire was not just for show. She was actually quite capable.
However, the strength that Number 2 displayed was even more incredible. From the very beginning, he had been dodging. The characteristic of his dodging could be described with one word — twisting. He could twist his body, his neck, and his limbs. The most amazing thing was that he could twist his joints in the opposite direction. No matter how dense Ji Chenxue's attacks were or how exquisite his moves were, he could dodge them in an even weirder and more unpredictable way.
As Ji Chenxue's attacks intensified, Number 2's entire body was like a cloud of black fog. He split apart with a whoosh and then closed again with a whoosh. He was so fast that it was simply unbelievable. Ji Chenxue did not even touch his suit.
"Hehehe!"
Number 2 suddenly let out a dry laugh. His voice was hoarse and unpleasant as if he had swallowed tree bark. "I take back what I said just now. You can accompany me for at least five days. You are truly a rare specimen. I have to satisfy you this once."
"Shut up!" The five Ji Chenxue roared in unison.
The five of them attacked at the same time. Five blue lights suddenly appeared in their palms. Five huge pillars of light appeared out of nowhere. Countless blue ice needles poured out from the pillars. The magnificent palace immediately turned into a dazzling ice palace. Ding Meng noticed that Ji Chenxue's control of Origin Energy was actually very precise. Only the area around the villa was enveloped by the force field. The grass and flower beds here were not affected at all.
However, the problem was that Number 2 was still fine. The black fog once again turned into a black shadow. This black shadow flashed back and forth in the pouring rain. The speed at which it flashed far exceeded the speed at which the ice needles poured out.
However, Number 2's speed gradually slowed down. This was because anyone who was trapped in this ice force field would be affected.
At this moment, the five ice pillars merged into one without any warning. They actually turned into a giant ice sword that was about twenty meters long. The ice sword's aura was so strong and cold that he could immediately feel the opponent's killing intent.
Just as he was about to pull the black sword at his waist to block the attack, the giant sword actually turned into a shadow and mysteriously disappeared. His heart sank. He knew that he had been tricked.
This was not a trick because the giant sword was real. It was the real power of Dark Ice and was a martial technique at the pinnacle of a very, very high realm. However, it was a mystery how Ji Chenxue made it disappear.
At this moment, the five Ji Chenxue retreated down the steps. The five of them merged back into one. Ji Chenxue changed her elegant fighting style from before. She suddenly threw out a punch like a boxer. This posture really damaged her beautiful image, but it was definitely fast and effective.
With a "boom", the force of this punch directly uprooted the ice palace and sent it flying into the distant sea.
However, that was not the end of it. Ji Chenxue punched left and right consecutively. Five consecutive punches were in the form of uppercuts. The last punch was a straight punch across the air. To be honest, Ding Meng was rather impressed. Not only was Ji Chenxue at the pinnacle of martial arts techniques, but she was also quite experienced.
She used the secret manual to create a formation to temporarily trap the opponent. Then, she used the fake dark ice power to distract the opponent. Finally, she threw out five punches with all her strength.
These five punches were the true essence of a killer move. They contained the power of a War God-level Origin Energy, Astral Wind, and Origin Flames. There were also the additional effects of Cannon Force, Tremor Force, Penetration Force, and Triple Wave. Anyone who took it head-on would definitely be seriously injured.
After the five punches, Ji Chenxue regained her elegance. She gently slid back to her original position with a confident look on her face.
The entire space in the direction of the villa exploded. It felt as if she had thrown a string of powerful firecrackers. Even if Number 2 didn't die from the explosion, he would still be injured.
"Not bad!" Ding Meng nodded.
Ji Chenxue's lips curled into an imperceptible smile. It was an honor to be praised by an expert like Ding Meng.
Ding Meng was still nodding. "Don't think that I'm praising you. This Hidden Front Commander's strength is really not bad."
Ji Chenxue's expression immediately fell. She saw the situation on the other side. It was completely different from what she had imagined.
