The General's Genius Daughter Chapter 186

Seven days later, in front of Magic Beasts Forest.

It was a broad and flat grassland in front of the forest.

Hua Qiyue and her companions had long been waiting here for the deputy leader of Gnawing Devils Sect, Chou Tianhen. There were 100 of them in total, and 23 of them stayed in the capital, protecting their home base.

It wasn't scorching hot anymore in autumn. The weather was fine and the scenery was pleasing to the eye. Over the distant horizon, a parade of people and horses gradually came into view.

They were riding lightning fast. After a short while, they'd covered the larger half of the distance.

“Here they came!”

Hua Qiyue cocked one eyebrow. Chou Tianhen actually answered her challenge with his people. Actually, anyone would respond to her challenge since she was just an 18-year-old teen who challenged Chou Tianhen publicly.

It was really a nice move of hers. Even if Chou Tianhen wasn't confident to beat her, he had to come.

“Sister Qiyue, what if he really brings Soul Puppets?”

Ji Jing looked worried.

Everyone knew the power of Soul Puppet. Now, seeing those puppets in a row, they unconsciously changed faces.

The master controlled the soul of a Soul Puppet. Their eyes were out of focus, and they'd do anything under their master's order.

Thus, at one glance, they recognized which were Soul Puppets.

“Don't worry, I'll handle them. How will I let them hurt you?” Hua Qiyue smiled while Ji Feng looked carefree.

“Your Highness will surely drive all of them away.” Ji Feng completely trusted Hua Qiyue.

After all, after so many cooperations, she never lost a game.

“Anyone who doesn't trust her can leave now. You'll survive.” Huangfu Xuan suddenly said flatly.

Ji Jing stuck out her tongue. “I'll stick around because I care about Sister Qiyue.”

However, exchanging glances, no one retreated.

Yun Shimo stepped out and stood in front of Hua Qiyue.

Hua Qiyue wore a cold face and walked to a spot a few steps away from Yun Shimo. Then, she quietly stared at those approaching people.

Yun Shimo coughed and sighed in his heart. Something dimmed in his eyes, but he said nothing at all.

Ji Jing looked at both of them respectively and couldn't figure out what had happened between them two.

They would marry each other and selected the wedding date. However, why did they suddenly alienated each other?

Ji Jing and others couldn't see why. Moreover, what they found harder to believe was that Yun Shimo actually picked Princess Qianyang, the pretentious, naive, untalented woman, over Hua Qiyue.

Hua Qiyue never commented about this matter and her only response was silence.

In a blink of an eye, the group arrived in front of Hua Qiyue.

Riding on a horse, Chou Tianhen was smiling smugly. Soul Puppets protected him on both sides, while seniors and disciples followed behind him.

There were both male and female Soul Puppets. Though they looked the same as real people, their faces were pale like those of dead people. Their eyes were out of focus and Chou Tianhen controlled their souls. No matter what Chou Tianhen commanded, they would do it.

“Hua Qiyue, you're courting your death. Last time, you beat me because of that fan. But this time, I'll bury all of you!”

Chou Tianhen sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm. “Do a girl with a bunch of losers want to kill me? Hahaha…”

Chou Tianhen was carried away by his pride.

As if she hadn't heard what he said, she stared at his distorted face from grinning. “Chou Tianhen, I'll give you two minutes. If you walk away now, I'll let you off. Hmph, but if you get stubborn, you'll see the end of your life!”

Chou Tianhen grinned even wider. “Hahaha, stupid girl. Don't you know what Soul Puppets can do? How dare you brag like this? You're killing me…”

Chou Tianhen's laugh rang through the sky. Some Qi Artists without strong physique almost had bleeding ears. Indeed, Chou Tianhen was a powerful Qi Artist at the medium level of Moon Eclipse. However, Hua Qiyue had the Drunken Flower Fan and Yun Shimo had beat Chou Tianhen with one blow in the past. Thus, they trusted Hua Qiyue and accompanied her here.

When they saw Soul Puppets around Chou Tianhen and failed to detect the puppets' strength, their expressions changed respectively.

Ouyang Youche looked at Chou Tianhen who got carried away by his pride. “Since ancient times, a proud man won't last long. He's really pathetic.”

Ouyang Youche was handsome and his voice was loud and clear, making Chou Tianhen stop to glare at him.

Looking around Hua Qiyue, Chou Tianhen found several handsome men: Yun Shimo, Ji Feng, Ouyang Youche, and Huangfu Xuan. These young men all had reached Moon Eclipse of Dragon Diagram, which was quite an improvement compared with the beginning.

“Well, I didn't expect the Ouyang Family is also involved. Fine, I'll get rid of all of you and save me another trip here!”

Chou Tianhen sneered and felt very confident.

Standing behind Chou Tianhen, those seniors all doubted that if Hua Qiyue's Qi Art was effective since she looked so young.

They found most of the people in Hua Qiyue's group looked young and not that strong. Then, the seniors felt relieved.

The young disciples all snickered out of contempt.

Hua Qiyue didn't bother to argue and directly drew the runes to conjure a palm print. Then, she suddenly clapped her hand onto the ground.

“Ruin Universe Tactical Deployment, start! Killing Array, commence!”

Just as Hua Qiyue's voice faded, two arrays burst into blinding white lights to surround Chou Tianhen's people!

Chou Tianhen and his people were startled. “Does Hua Qiyue use this kind of ancient array? And she actually launched two of them at one time?”

This kind of Killing Array was usually 10 times more powerful than the target. Thus, it was very difficult for Chou Tianhen to tackle those two arrays.

Behind Hua Qiyue, those who didn't fully know her all widened their eyes in shock.

Though they did not fear death, they had never dreamed of Hua Qiyue owning such a great skill!

Everything would be perfect without those 10 Soul Puppets.

The two Killing Arrays could absolutely wipe out Chou Tianhen and his people. However, the 10 puppets concerned them and they could only wait for the puppets to show their real strength.

“Ha, I didn't know you use that kind of ancient arrays. No wonder you bragged like that and dared to challenge me. Well, it's useless! My 10 Soul Puppets can finish your arrays!”

Chou Tianhen chuckled loudly.

Hua Qiyue still stayed poised. “Chou Tianhen, enjoy my arrays!”

Since she had launched two major arrays in a row, the blood energy swirled inside her body and her spiritual energy was maxed out. Feeling very feeble from head to toe, she slightly staggered forward, and Yun Shimo readily grabbed her in a blink of an eye.

Perching on Yun Shimo's shoulder, the hare squinted at the increasingly bright arrays and a mixed emotion flashed through her eyes.

That man knew the array as well…

The hare taught Hua Qiyue about only one array. Therefore, it believed that Hua Qiyue's master must have been Tianpi.

However, Hua Qiyue didn't want to reveal his whereabouts. Thus, it failed to know where he was now.

Everyone stared in amazement at the dazzling arrays that shot to the sky. The ripples of white lights turned everyone's sight all white.

Standing in the center of the arrays, Chou Tianhen and others only found those lights so intense that they ached all over their bodies. Moreover, in an instant, they could only use half of their spiritual and failed to perform at their best.

“Soul Puppets, stop the arrays!”

Chou Tianhen growled and those Soul Puppets finally acted. Though their eyes were out of focus, their robust bodies stayed free from those bright lights.

On the contrary, the arrays suppressed Chou Tianhen and all the other people. They bled from the infliction of streaks of white lights and looked awkward. Though not severely injured, they had never been suppressed like this, so all they felt now were anger and anxiety.

“Bang bang bang…”

The 10 Soul Puppets started to look menacing. They did not have any lethal skill, only the most traditional ones—they would receive those array's lights with their punches again and again.

Ripples of lights exploded, and they could see nothing but immense white lights.

At this time, in Yun Shimo's arms, Hua Qiyue jerked out and pushed Yun Shimo away.

“Don't touch me!” Hua Qiyue murmured.

“Qiyue, don't you remember what I said? Trust, I need your trust.” Yun Shimo replied in a deep voice.

Hua Qiyue sneered. “Trust?”

Didn't she trust Zhou Zhicheng in the past? Then, the scumbag trapped her with the other woman. When she trusted someone unconditionally, she was handing her life onto other's hands!

Yun Shimo reached out to grab her sleeves. The white lights were too strong for anyone to notice what he was doing, and Yun Shimo was also feeling his way near her.

Hua Qiyue released the Mourning Steps to avoid his hand.

However, Yun Shimo managed to cling to her sleeve.

At that moment, 10 Soul Puppets disabled one of the arrays. With a “kaboom”, those intangible lights faded. The remaining one was the Ruin Universe Tactical Deployment, and it was shrouding everyone with its faint white lights.

Overwhelming strength was pressing against the ground, and everyone gasped for air.

Moreover, Yun Shimo felt embarrassed to find that she had grabbed Huangfu Xuan's sleeve.

“Why are you tugging at me?” Only when Huangfu Xuan jokingly tossed away Yun Shimo's hand did Yun Shimo realized that.

“Nothing… I just happened to grab your sleeve.” Yun Shimo felt very awkward, while Hua Qiyue stood aside calmly as if nothing had happened just now.

In the Ruin Universe Tactical Deployment array, Chou Tianhen's black robe was bloodstained, and those 10 Soul Puppets were not injured on the body despite their ragged clothes.

“Soul Puppets are really bullet-proof as the legend has it!”

At the sight of this, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

Chou Tianhen chuckled. Though the puppets destroyed only one array, he felt satisfied.

“Go on, stop the array for me!!” Chou Tianhen ordered and those Soul Puppets neatly sucked spiritual energy onto their palms and slowly raised them up.
