450: Chapter 450 She Appeared Again

Gales whipped up gravel, accompanied by ear-piercing sonic booms, and slammed fiercely toward Chen You's face.

Chen You didn't even blink.

"Hum—"

A spiritual shield instantly expanded.

Immediately after, a shimmering golden substitute talisman was plastered onto his chest, and two Exorcism Talismans were gripped in his palms.

The yuhuang sword let out a crisp chime, carrying him at an extremely tricky angle as he instantly retreated several hundred meters.

It was done in one smooth motion, so practiced it was heart-wrenching.

What kind of international joke was this? This was Five Finger Mountain.

If there really was a hairy-faced, thunder-beaked monk pressed under these lousy rocks, and he swung a staff over, could he withstand it?

He only had one life, and the state hadn't issued his pension yet; he didn't want to end it here.

The rumbling thunderous noise lasted for a full half-minute.

The five dark cyan peaks completely collapsed, and the sky full of golden rune light spots danced like fireflies in the dust, then quickly dimmed and extinguished.

Stepping on his flying sword, Chen You hovered in mid-air, narrowing his eyes to stare intently at the huge pit below.

There was no myriad of golden light, nor any untamed, arrogant roar.

In the deep pit, the "fake Chen You"—who looked exactly like him, down to the perfect replication of his clothing folds—suddenly stopped struggling.

Immediately after, a bizarre scene unfolded.

On the surface of the fake Chen You's body, a layer of extremely abrupt, colorful mosaic flickered.

His facial features and limbs began to twist and tear, finally disintegrating into countless ghostly blue data streams.

These data streams did not dissipate; instead, as if possessing life, they rapidly wove, intertwined, and reorganized in mid-air.

In the blink of an eye.

A petite figure coalesced and formed within the data streams.

Twin tails, a Gothic Lolita black dress, and a pair of slightly exaggerated dark red heavy-soled leather shoes.

Her skin was so fair it lacked any blood color, and in her large eyes, a ghostly light resembling a waterfall of code flickered.

And above her head, she sported a line of extremely eye-catching, seven-colored neon light text: [Invincible Beautiful Girl].

Chen You's pupils contracted sharply, and he gasped.

Was it him? No, it was her!

The mysterious entity who kept talking about wanting to see his cultivation technique's underlying code, and even proposed "Dual Cultivation" with him in the end!

Chen You felt a chill run up his spine, straight to the back of his head.

In this desolate wilderness, there was no one around.

The other party was not only an unknown entity capable of cross-dimensional descent but also a cyber-pervert who had once coveted his "bodily data."

"Don't come over here!" Chen You subconsciously crossed his arms over his chest, holding the yuhuang sword horizontally in front of him, the tip pointing directly at her.

"I'm warning you, I am a serious Cultivator! I sell my skills, not my body!"

Countless inappropriate and terrifying images flashed through Chen You's mind.

This woman went to great lengths to create Five Finger Mountain and painstakingly disguised herself as him, attempting to trick him into trusting her.

This routine, this setup!

The National Anti-Fraud App never taught how to defend against this kind of dimensional forced assault!

"Boring."

The twin-tailed girl floating in mid-air put her hands on her hips and rolled her eyes in a highly humanized way.

She pursed her lips, her voice crisp but carrying a distinct electronic synthesized reverb: "Why don't you ever play by the rules?"

"Play by the rules your grandpa." Chen You cursed indignantly, but gripped his sword tighter.

"You're a high-dimensional life form, why are you always targeting me to fleece me? Also, you just pretended to be me, what on earth are you trying to do?"

The Invincible Beautiful Girl tapped her toes lightly in the void and drifted forward two meters.

Chen You immediately channeled his spiritual power, retreating three meters on his flying sword, maintaining an absolutely safe casting distance.

"Tch, coward." The Invincible Beautiful Girl waved her hand dismissively. "I just happened to be done with my work and had some time to come tease you."

"Speaking of which, you clearly possess such vast energy, why are you so... timid?"

Chen You didn't feel ashamed in the slightest; instead, he straightened his back and retorted righteously: "This is called being steady, what the hell do you know!"

He stared fixedly at her exquisite, flawless, modeled face, his gaze gradually becoming sharp. "Less nonsense."

"Since you've appeared, let's lay our cards on the table."

"That colorful beam of light that pierced through the atmosphere from White Jade Capital territory before, what exactly was that about?"

After the light beam vanished, this woman had completely cut off contact.

Zhang Yunhai and Director Li Guoan were so worried every day that they paced around the command center, fearing they had invited a wolf into the house and brought some indescribable dimensional reduction strike upon Earth.

"Oh, you mean that."

Invincible Beautiful Girl tilted her head, looking at Chen You.

In her ghostly blue eyes, a trace of complex data streams flashed.

"Are you afraid?" she asked.

"Nonsense!" Chen You replied righteously. "I'm a first-class protected animal! Can't I be afraid?"

Invincible Beautiful Girl laughed softly.

There was no mockery, but rather a kind of lofty indifference.

"No need to be afraid."

She turned around, facing away from Chen You, and looked toward the western sky shrouded in haze.

"The firewall of your world is too thick, and the underlying logic is a total mess."

"I have to dig a hole first, construct a stable channel, before I can transmit my core data over."

"Transmit data? What exactly is your purpose?" Chen You asked in a deep voice.

"Purpose?" The girl turned back and floated in front of Chen You.

"We will meet very soon."

She raised her head, her ghostly blue eyes staring straight into Chen You's.

"By then, you will know what a real 'version update' is."

Chen You's scalp tingled.

This dialogue, this tone, it sounded exactly like a major villain's speech before the Terminator descended on Earth.

"Wait!" Chen You was anxious. "Make yourself clear! What do you mean by meet? Where exactly are you? Hey!"

The girl's figure began to fade, her edges turning back into those ghostly blue data streams.

"Looking forward to our official meeting, Daddy~"

She deliberately dragged out the last two words, filled with mischief and teasing.

A flash of light.

The data streams completely merged into the air, disappearing without a trace.

There was no mention of Dual Cultivation, nor any spell bombardment to destroy the world.

She just left like that.

Chen You stood in place, disheveled in the wind.

"What the hell is this all about!"

Chen You immediately opened his attribute panel and inventory to check; nothing had changed.

His body didn't feel anything out of the ordinary either.

It was just that Five Finger Mountain had completely turned into a pile of ordinary rubble, not even dropping a single copper coin.

Chen You took a deep breath, calming his wildly beating heart.

He knew things had gotten serious.

"Need to go back and report to the expert team."

Ten minutes later, in the White Jade Capital command hall, Director Li Guoan and the others had gathered.

Chen You quickly recounted the situation, and the expert team all frowned.

After Chen You finished speaking, Director Li Guoan couldn't help but frown as he looked at Chen You.

"Are you really Little Chen?"
