Shen Lang, though experienced, had never witnessed such an ability in Xue Piaopiao. For a moment, he dared not make another move against her.
Shen Lang scrutinized Xue Piaopiao, searching for a weakness, but after a long while, he still couldn't find any.
"Shen Lang, it seems you no longer dare to attack this Saintess. If that's the case, then I won't hold back."
Seeing Shen Lang's prolonged inaction, Xue Piaopiao sneered, then charged at him with a destructive fury, her fist slamming towards him.
Shen Lang's expression changed, but he didn't dare to confront her directly. He could only use the "Explosive Step" taught by his elder to quickly rebound, evading Xue Piaopiao's terrifying punch.
However, as soon as Shen Lang steadied himself, Xue Piaopiao attacked again, her offense growing more ferocious.
For the next five minutes, Xue Piaopiao unleashed a barrage of attacks, her fists raining down on Shen Lang like a storm. Facing her onslaught, Shen Lang dared not counterattack, only continuously dodging with the Explosive Step.
Five minutes later, Shen Lang created distance again, but the confusion on his face was replaced by a calm smile.
"Shen Lang, what are you smiling about?"
Xue Piaopiao, seeing Shen Lang's smile, roared in anger.
This was a persona condensed from Xue Piaopiao's negative emotions. She harbored an unbearable aversion to all things beautiful in humans, especially others' smiles. Undoubtedly, Shen Lang's smile had provoked her, making her even more violent.
"Xue Piaopiao, the reason I'm smiling is because I've seen through your ability."
Shen Lang looked at Xue Piaopiao and said with a smile, "While dodging your attacks continuously, I've figured it out. Your ability is damage reflection. Any harm inflicted on you is eventually reflected back onto the attacker, right?"
"Shen Lang, you're quite clever. But what can you do even if you know my ability?"
Xue Piaopiao looked at Shen Lang and laughed maniacally. "As long as you attack me, the damage will rebound onto you. Therefore, you cannot possibly attack me."
"However, you can't attack me, but I can harm you. So, prepare to die. I will kill you now."
With that, Xue Piaopiao charged at Shen Lang again. But this time, Shen Lang's expression was calm and composed, devoid of any panic.
"Xue Piaopiao, your ability has indeed opened my eyes, but that doesn't mean I have no way to deal with you."
Facing the charging Xue Piaopiao, Shen Lang laughed heartily. "Next, I'll let you witness the inescapable net I've woven."
As Shen Lang finished speaking, he took out a golden tube from his pocket. With a press of a button, a golden net shot out. Caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, Xue Piaopiao, who was rushing towards Shen Lang, could not evade and was immediately ensnared by the net.
"Any harm inflicted on you is reflected back to the attacker, but this golden net's restraint won't, right?"
Shen Lang looked at Xue Piaopiao and smiled.
"Shen Lang, do you think you can trap this Saintess with just this net?"
Xue Piaopiao was entangled by the golden net, but her expression showed little panic. She smiled and said, "A golden net like this, I can tear apart with a flick of my wrist. To think you could trap me with it is a fool's dream."
"Is that so?"
Shen Lang spread his hands and said, "You can try and see if this golden net is truly as easily torn apart as you say."
Upon hearing this, Xue Piaopiao was enraged, becoming even more violent and frantic. However, despite using all her strength to tear at the golden net, she found that no matter how hard she tried, she could not rip apart the net that held her.
"Alright, stop struggling. The material of this golden net is Golden Silkworm Silk, which possesses not only the best tensile strength but also the strongest hardness. It's impossible for you to tear it apart with your bare hands."
Shen Lang watched Xue Piaopiao futilely trying, and said with a smile, "Honestly, even if I were trapped by this net, I'd be helpless. So, accept your fate."
"Shen Lang, you despicable ant, what do you want?"
After several failed attempts to tear the golden net, Xue Piaopiao knew Shen Lang was telling the truth. She cried out in exasperation, "What enmity do I have with you that you would treat me like this? If I survive today, I will kill your entire family."
"You won't, you won't," Shen Lang replied, shaking his head.
"I will, I definitely will kill your entire family," Xue Piaopiao said with reddened eyes and a firm gaze. "I repay every grievance. Since you've treated me this way, I will kill everyone connected to you."
"I'm afraid you've misunderstood my meaning. When I say 'you won't,' I mean you won't have the chance to do so."
Shen Lang looked at Xue Piaopiao and sneered, "You are already a fish in my net. From now on, you are the meat, and I am the cleaver. You will soon disappear, so you won't have the chance."
"I disappear?"
Upon hearing Shen Lang's words, Xue Piaopiao sneered, "Can you kill me?"
"Haha, let alone the fact that killing me would result in a backlash, meaning you'd die with me. Furthermore, if I die, Xue Piaopiao will also die."
"Shen Lang, tell me, what makes you think you can make me disappear?" Xue Piaopiao said triumphantly.
Hearing Xue Piaopiao's words, Xiao Nu's face changed drastically. She shouted to Shen Lang, "Little brother Shen Lang, you cannot attack the Saintess. If she is harmed, you will face endless trouble, no, disaster!"
"Don't worry, I won't kill her, nor is there any need to. For her to disappear, a few simple methods will suffice."
Shen Lang crouched before Xue Piaopiao and smiled. "Do you know, treating schizophrenia is not a major issue for me. Of course, dealing with a superpower user like you, whom I've never seen before, is a bit tricky, but not insurmountable."
Shen Lang placed his hand on Xue Piaopiao's head and said, "You are a part of Xue Piaopiao. If you die, she will die. But I will make you sleep in the deepest recesses of her consciousness, never to awaken."
With that, Shen Lang produced a Taiyi Divine Needle and forcefully pierced it into Xue Piaopiao's forehead.
"My medical skill is called the Taiyi Divine Needle. Within it, there is a needle manipulation technique called the 'Seal Art,' which is specifically used to treat patients with dual or multiple personalities like yourselves."
"As a normal person with a single personality, I will not be harmed by this needle. However, you will permanently fall into slumber because of it."
A smile spread across Shen Lang's face. "One needle to eliminate evil, one needle to seal the demon. Farewell, no, never to meet again."
With that, Shen Lang plunged the needle into Xue Piaopiao's forehead.
