Peking Opera Cat: I Became A Zi's Brother

"Humph……"

Mo Yun stood at the gap, the hem of his robe still stained with ice from the cliff top. The cold air emanating from his body froze the fragrance of the wisteria flowers in the bamboo building into frost.

He looked at "White Sugar" huddled in the corner. The bright yellow energy veins wrapped in the surging black air flickered, like a flame pressed into the water by a strong wind.

"You've already left, why did you come back!" Mo Yun's voice was suppressed between his teeth, and each word was as cold and hard as ice. "Do you think that Mo Yun of my sect is easy to bully? Or do you simply look down on our entire sect!"

He took a half step forward, and the ground around his feet instantly formed spider-web-like ice patterns.

"Why did you come back this time? Do you think our patience is a bottomless pit, or are you sure... I dare not touch you?"

"Bai Tang" suddenly raised his head, and the black air condensed into a twisted vortex above his head. The blue light around Mo Yun was reflected in his scarlet pupils, like two clusters of will-o'-the-wisp burning on the ice.

He scoffed, and the laughter was mixed with a chaotic hiss, sounding particularly harsh:

"Escape? Do I need to escape?"

He slowly stood up straight, and spun the black weapon in his hand in a circle, making a dull sound.

"Before, I was too lazy to waste time with you—did you really think that little broken barrier and broken stone could really trap Chaos?"

The black gas flowed down along his fingertips and formed a small puddle on the ground. The shadow reflected in it was not the shape of white sugar, but a blurry, wriggling black shadow.

"I've come back now to show you... after struggling to the end, everyone ends up like this."

Mo Yun's brows furrowed even tighter, and the lavender hair behind her ears stretched straight:

"Bai Tang's energy channels are still intact. No matter how violently you cause trouble in his body, you are just using him as a shell to cause trouble."

"Backdoor listing?"

"Bai Tang" seemed to have heard a joke and suddenly laughed even harder, with black air splashing everywhere with his movements.

"Once I've gnawed every last bit of 'sugar' out of this shell, this body will be mine. Then, the 'savior' you nurtured will drag you all into chaos. Just thinking about it... is quite amusing."

As he spoke, the black energy in his palm surged again. This time it was no longer a test, but condensed into a pitch-black claw, rushing straight towards Mo Yun's face.

"Brother, be careful!"

Suddenly, a crisp shout came from outside the window, and a green figure rushed in like lightning, wielding the jade ruyi in its hand, creating a light green barrier that barely blocked Mo Yun.

Xiaoqing landed steadily on the ground, her skirt sweeping across the ice patterns on the ground, bringing up a string of tiny ice crystals:

"Bai Tang didn't mean it! Chaos is controlling him. We..."

Before he could finish his words, the black claws had already hit the green barrier.

There was no earth-shattering roar, only a crisp "crack". The barrier that could withstand three attacks actually cracked like glass and shattered into points of light in an instant.

"Um……"

Xiaoqing groaned and took two steps back in shock. The jade ruyi in her palm felt slightly hot.

She looked at the pure scarlet in Bai Tang's eyes, finally bit her lip, unable to say "He can still be saved".

"In the way."

"Bai Tang"'s voice was as cold as if it was poisoned, and the black air thrown out by his other hand brushed past Xiao Qing's shoulder, leaving a trail of blood.

"Be careful……"

Mo Yun quickly grabbed Xiaoqing's waist and stepped back. The cold air around him suddenly surged, freezing the pursuing black air into ice spikes.

"You step away first."

His voice did not turn around, but it was filled with unquestionable determination.

"This time, it's not up to you to interfere."

"Bai Tang" watched their actions and suddenly grinned. Black air leaked from the corners of his mouth, like a snake spitting out its tongue:

"What? You want to fight two against one? That's perfect, it saves me from having to look for them one by one."

The ground beneath his feet began to turn black, and a chaotic aura spread around along the wood grain. Even the ice patterns that Mo Yun had just frozen slowly melted under this aura, oozing out blood-colored water marks.

Mo Yun pushed Xiao Qing to the corner of the bamboo building and took a step forward. The light blue Yun force condensed into an ice spear in his palm. The cold light flowing from the spear made his pupils turn ice blue.

"One is enough to deal with you."

The gun body glowed with a cold light like ice jade, and the light blue power condensed at the tip of the gun was like a dancing cold flame. Before it was swung, the surrounding air was already filled with fine ice mist.

The black energy that "Bai Tang" had just condensed shrank slightly in front of the tip of the gun, as if frightened by the fierce pressure.

He staggered back half a step, the black claws on his palms had clearly grown half a foot longer, but he still didn't dare to move them forward - he had just been shouting "Let's die together", but now he was half a head shorter.

"Chaos's use of a shell is ultimately just a facade."

Mo Yun's voice was steady and calm, and the wrist holding the gun shook slightly.

The moment the tip of the gun cut through the air, light blue rhythmic energy surged out like a tide.

The black air wrapped around the beams was instantly frozen into ice bars, falling to the ground.

The chaotic aura spreading under "Bai Tang"'s feet shrank back as if burned, and the black marks on the wooden floor condensed into frost at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the black air on his trouser legs turned into ice crystals and shattered with a crisp sound.

"you……"

The roar of "Bai Tang" was stuck in his throat, and his scarlet pupils suddenly contracted.

He suddenly realized that the Mo Yun in front of him was no longer as accommodating as last time - the power flowing from the tip of the gun now contained a determination that could eradicate chaos.

He threw the black weapon out suddenly, and the black gas turned into a giant python in the air, with turbid saliva dripping from its open mouth, and rushed straight towards Mo Yun's face.

This was the most powerful move he could perform while borrowing Bai Tang's body. The aura of chaos was so strong that even the window paper of the bamboo building was smoked black.

Mo Yun didn't even raise her eyelids.

The arm holding the gun pushed forward steadily.

The spear tip pierced the python's vital points with pinpoint accuracy. There was no earth-shattering collision, only a soft "whoosh"—the giant python, brimming with black energy capable of tearing through rock and stone, deflated like a punctured bladder. Wherever the spear tip passed, the black energy condensed into icy shards, which fell to the ground with a rustling sound, leaving no trace of dust behind.

"impossible……"

"Bai Tang"'s voice was trembling, not with anger, but with real fear.

He turned around and tried to escape, but just as his toes left the ground, he heard the sharp sound of a gunshot breaking through the air from behind him.

Mo Yun's figure was so fast that only a pale blue shadow remained.

The moment the spear swept across, the cold air rolled up by the spear body drew a complete arc in the air, like an ice cage, trapping "Sugar" tightly in the center.

The black air that tried to escape crashed into the ice wall and was instantly frozen into crystal clear ice sculptures, with even traces of struggle clearly visible.

"Do you think you can show off your skills in front of me with this little bit of chaos?"

Mo Yun's voice came from outside the ice wall, carrying a crushing pressure.

"I spared your life last time because of Bai Tang. This time..."

The tip of the gun suddenly touched the ice wall.

"Click——"

The ice pattern spread out from the tip of the gun, and the entire ice wall suddenly tightened.

"Bai Tang" groaned as he was strangled, and the black air on his body came out like toothpaste being squeezed out. As soon as it left his body, it was frozen by the ice wall. A layer of black ice shell formed around him, wrapping the corroded body tightly.

He struggled desperately, his fists and feet hitting the ice wall with dull sounds, but he couldn't even make a crack.

On the contrary, with every struggle, the rhythmic force emitted from the tip of the gun seeped into his body a little bit. The black energy that was gnawing at Bai Tang's meridians seemed to have met its nemesis, emitting tiny wails, and was frozen and peeled off bit by bit by the rhythmic force.

"Let me go! Mo Yun, let me go!"

There was finally a cry in Baitang's roar, half of it was Hun Dun's unwillingness, and half of it was Baitang's cry of pain caused by the stimulation of the rhythmic force.

He could feel that the remaining bright yellow energy in his body was being awakened, but it was suppressed tightly by the ice wall. Even moving it felt like being pierced by thousands of ice needles.

Mo Yun slowly walked to the front of the ice wall, pointing his spear at an angle at the ground. The cold flame on the tip of the spear reflected his icy pupils:

"It's not me who crushes you, it's Bai Tang's own Qi meridian."

He raised his gun and lightly poked it, and a crack instantly appeared on the ice wall, revealing the position of "Bai Tang"'s chest - there was a ball of bright yellow light dancing there, supported by the rhythmic force, and gradually dispelling the surrounding black air.

"If you use his body to do evil, you must endure his own resistance."

Bai Tang's body shuddered violently. The rhythmic energy that seeped through the cracks in the ice wall flowed like a warm current through his chest and out to his limbs. A familiar warmth suddenly spread through his bones, which had been controlled by chaos. The dark brown hair behind his ears suddenly shone a faint, bright yellow.

“No…don’t touch me…”

He began to struggle wildly, but found that his hands and feet had been tightly entangled by the power of rhythm, and even his fingertips could not move at all.

Mo Yun's power was like an airtight net. It seemed cold, but it accurately avoided Bai Tang's meridians and only targeted the attached chaos - this was not a fight, it was clearly a one-sided "peeling off".

Xiaoqing stood in the corner, covering the wound on her shoulder in a daze.

She had thought it would be a brutal fight, but she had not expected such a crushing defeat: her brother's spear was not even touched by a bit of the black air, and with only the flow of rhythmic power, he trapped Hun Dun without any chance to fight back.

The chaotic aura that had once given them so many headaches now seemed like a fragile spider web in front of Mo Yun.

"elder brother……"

She called softly, relief in her tone.

Mo Yun didn't look back, but just exerted a little force with the hand holding the gun.

The cracks on the ice wall became more and more dense, and the black ice shell on "White Sugar" began to peel off, revealing the fluff underneath which gradually turned bright yellow.

He could feel that the chaotic aura was rapidly weakening, as if its backbone had been pulled out, and it shrank into a small ball in the ice wall, shivering.

"Remember this feeling."

Mo Yun's voice passed through the ice wall and fell clearly into Bai Tang's ears.

"If you dare to use his body to step in again, it won't be as simple as freezing Chaos."

The tip of the gun spun violently.

The entire ice wall suddenly exploded, and the light blue rhyme power scattered like star rain, but gently avoided when it touched "Bai Tang"'s body, only wrapping the chaos that had shrunk into a ball in the center. It instantly froze into black ice the size of a walnut, and was steadily picked up by Mo Yun with the tip of his gun.

Without the support of chaos, "White Sugar" fell limply to the ground. The fur on his body had mostly returned to its bright yellow color, but his consciousness was still in a coma, and he unconsciously murmured:

“Don’t… run…”

Mo Yun looked at the black ice hanging on the tip of the gun, his eyes as cold as ever.

He raised his hand and waved it, and the black ice turned into a blue light and was put into the jade bottle at his waist.

"You can't escape this time."

He whispered, put away his spear and turned around. The icy mist in the bamboo building had gradually dissipated, and only the light blue rhythmic energy remained in the air, gently repairing the beams and pillars destroyed by chaos.
