Chapter 61: She Seemed to Have Lost Her Mind

"Oh? So you have an older brother?"

Zhao Qiu showed no fear at all; instead, his eyes lit up. "That's even better. We'll set an ambush, use you to lure him here, and kill him to eliminate any future trouble."

"And by the way, we'll let him watch how you're being toyed with."

"Hahaha—"

As Zhao Qiu spoke, seemingly imagining the scene, he grew increasingly excited.

Upon hearing these words, Lin Xiaoyou felt as though a thunderclap had exploded inside her mind.

Only a single voice echoed within her: "Zhao Qiu wants to violate me, wants to kill my brother, and wants my brother to see me in that state..."

No!

This must never happen!

Lin Xiaoyou suddenly shook her head frantically, murmuring to herself.

"I cannot be violated; I belong to my brother!"

"No one is allowed to kill my brother!"

"And I can never let my brother see me in such a humiliating state!"

Completely provoked by Zhao Qiu's words, Lin Xiaoyou seemed to have plunged into a state of madness.

The hatred for Fang Siqi's betrayal!

The despair over human nature!

The obsession with her brother!

All kinds of negative emotions grew wildly deep within her heart, intensifying by the second.

"Brother Qiu, Lin Xiaoyou doesn't seem right."

Zhao Qiu was still painting the picture in his mind and hadn't noticed anything unusual at all until Fang Siqi spoke up, prompting him to look over.

Instantly, both of them were startled.

Lin Xiaoyou was shaking her head ceaselessly like a madwoman, muttering to herself.

It appeared she had gone insane!

"Brother Qiu, what should we do now?" Fang Siqi asked.

"Damn it, looks like the stimulation was too much and drove her crazy. Since there's no chance for her talent now, I might as well taste her myself."

Zhao Qiu no longer cared about any innate talent, wearing a lecherous grin on his face.

He reached out and grabbed at Lin Xiaoyou's full breasts.

"Ah!"

Just as Zhao Qiu's hand was about to touch Lin Xiaoyou, a sharp scream startled him and made him jerk his hand back.

The next moment, the two of them witnessed a sight they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

Dense wisps of black Qi continuously emerged from Lin Xiaoyou's body, wrapping tightly around her.

A terrifying aura radiated outward from her like a surging tide.

"Swish—"

The next instant, Lin Xiaoyou abruptly lifted her head and opened her eyes. Her cold pupils no longer held a single shred of human emotion.

"Brother Qiu, what on earth is going on here?"

Fear was etched across Fang Siqi's eyes.

"How the hell should I know?" Zhao Qiu cursed angrily, slowly retreating backward.

The Lin Xiaoyou before them was completely different from the one they knew; she seemed to have transformed entirely into another person.

No!

She couldn't even be called a person anymore!

Because neither of them could detect any human emotions in Lin Xiaoyou's eyes—only tranquility.

A terrifying, ultimate tranquility.

It was like the eyes of the God of Death, indifferent to everything in the world.

Then.

A sharp "snap" rang out.

The steel ropes binding Lin Xiaoyou snapped inch by inch, as if subjected to some terrifying force.

"Ah!"

A earth-shaking roar erupted.

Her body lifted directly into the air, suspended in the void, as a vast and unfathomable aura rose from within her.

"Brother Qiu, I... I have a very bad feeling about this."

Fang Siqi stammered, "Could Lin Xiaoyou have awakened some other talent?"

On the forums, rumors had always circulated that some individuals awakened dual talents, or even triple talents.

"Care what it is—as long as she hasn't reached Tier 1, I'm not afraid of her." A ruthless glare flashed across Zhao Qiu's eyes.

High up in the air.

An oppressive, terrifying aura continued to emanate from Lin Xiaoyou without end, growing heavier by the moment.

wisps of black energy kept spreading from her form.

"Strike first and gain the upper hand! I'm going to make you die!"

Zhao Qiu made his decision instantly; he could not wait any longer.

No matter what was happening to Lin Xiaoyou, since she gave him a sense of lethal danger, she could no longer be left alive.

Immediately.

Electric arcs coiled around Zhao Qiu's body as lightning flashed.

He directly unleashed his talent, Thunderstorm, and terrifying thunder-and-lightning forces gathered frantically in the palm of his hand.

"Go to hell!"

The lightning condensed into a massive thunder sphere, which he hurled straight toward Lin Xiaoyou.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoyou made no attempt to dodge, a smile crept onto the corner of his mouth.

As long as she was struck by this attack, even a Tier 1 powerhouse would suffer severe injuries, let alone Lin Xiaoyou, who was merely at level ten.

"No matter what's happening to you, it won't matter anymore." Seeing this, Fang Siqi felt much more at ease.

She seemed to already envision the lightning exploding against Lin Xiaoyou's body and blasting her into smithereens.

Suddenly, just as the two of them let out a breath of relief.

"Boom—"

A terrifying burst of magical energy erupted all around Lin Xiaoyou, forming a colossal pillar of magical light that soared straight into the heavens.

A majestic aura swept outward, filling both of them with boundless pressure.

The thunderball had arrived by then, carrying destructive energy as it smashed forward.

"Is it going to hit?" The two of them watched with eager anticipation.
