Chapter 301: Chapter 230: The Plague Ghost Appears, Slaying Qingyi Amid Unravelable Cause and Effect

Cui Qingyi strode out of the building and onto the lush green grass, her steps suddenly halted.

A black-robed figure was standing there.

The wind blew, lifting the black robe, revealing the blood-red skeleton underneath.

The black-robed figure glanced at her, and the surrounding flowers and trees withered and died rapidly, everything seeming to be tinged with a faint gray.

"Zhang Fusheng?"

Cui Qingyi raised the Array Map with one hand:

"It’s useless, you can’t break the Array Map, nor can you kill me... However, you are very formidable."

She said quietly:

"There are no perpetual enemies in this world. You and I, we can collaborate."

"The God of Plague has set their sights on you, while people from the Capital are about to arrive. I can help you eliminate the God of Plague, or even... kill Him."

Cui Qingyi said earnestly:

"I have complete certainty..."

The words were left unfinished.

The black-robed figure before her reached out a skeletal hand in a probing gesture.

Cause and Effect Parallel.

A sudden pain struck her heart.

Cui Qingyi lowered her head, clearly the black-robed figure was reaching out from the front,

yet that hand bypassed the Array Map, piercing from behind, stabbing out from the front of her chest, clutching a freshly beating heart.

The black-robed figure stood silently.

The harsh sound of bones clashing and scraping arose.

"It’s not impossible for ants to plot against an elephant, it’s just somewhat laughable."

Cui Qingyi spat out a mouthful of blood, her vitality rapidly fading, yet she remained calm.

"What a bizarre technique... We will meet again."

"Do you really think you’ve killed me? There are always meetings in the ebb and flow..."

She was smiling.

She never personally took risks.

The chip in her mind continued to operate, transmitting the memories of this cloned body back,

Far away, in an underground fortress, the woman removed the special helmet on her head, severing the mental link with the clone.

"Zhang Fusheng..."

The real Cui Qingyi murmured to herself:

"Is this your utmost effort? I admit I underestimated you, but everything ends here..."

The words did not completely fall.

She suddenly felt dazed, seeing a strand of starlight, a hand following that strand, descending.

Simultaneously, a calm voice accompanied it.

"What a massive Cause and Effect... What is this thing?"

That hand traced the Cause and Effect, and in Cui Qingyi’s astonished gaze, plunged into her chest.

Her heart was crushed once more.

Life force dissipated, her hands weakly clutched.

What happened?

Cui Qingyi wondered, wanting to cry out for help, but her throat was blocked by the metallic taste of blood.

Is this what dying feels like?

Am I... dying?

Am I really dying here?

How could I possibly die here!

Cui Qingyi squeezed out a whimper from her throat, her grand plan already unfurling!!

Thousands of my clones have already been sent to various parts of the home planet, my multitasking abilities stirring up storms in thousands of places simultaneously!

But why?

How could Zhang Fusheng find my true body?

Her mind was muddled, confused.

What kind of method is this...

She couldn’t comprehend it.

She was at a loss, desperately trying to struggle, but no words could form.

Darkness closed in around her.

At the same time.

In the underground black market.

Zhang Fusheng was not too concerned about the sudden events at the Cui Family Manor,

Taking advantage of the chess stall owner’s pondering, he returned from his intent on the manor, just as the chess stall owner finished thinking and placed his piece.

Why are there two Cui Qingyis?

A thought flashed through Zhang Fusheng’s mind, one was slain at the Cui Family Manor, and following the Cause and Effect, another was dispatched... No matter.

He didn’t care.

Staring at the chessboard, Zhang Fusheng contemplated for a moment, then calmly placed his final piece, smiling as he said:

"I win."

The chess stall owner’s face gradually turned pale.
