Chapter 696: Truth Behind Judgment

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

What did you say?! The man frowned, looking at Shen Ying, shocked. He chided her disbelievingly, As a judge, how could you allow such a thing to happen? What if it affects all the planes? You might not be able to pay a price like that. I might not have been very pleased with your test results, but I never expected that you would not even have the slightest bit of consciousness as a judge. Youre not fit at all to be a judge in this void. I cant believe I thought about-

Thought about taking over all of my powers as a judge? Shen Ying narrowed her eyes and finished his sentence. Or did you mean to say You have a stronger inclination to kill me off right here and now in the name of justice?

The man stared blankly at her, eyes widening in shock. What did you say?

Im talking about your motive for coming here from the beginning. Shen Ying smiled, still looking quite nonchalant. Yet, everything she says seemed very purposeful. When I said I was a judge, you did not deny my identity. You just kept emphasising that there could only be one judge. Yet, you could not even tell me why.

Let me guess She scanned the man from head to toe and continued, You cant tell me why because of one of two reasons. First, you really have no idea. Or second, you cannot tell me why. If you dont know, then everything that you said before was true. But if youre somebody who has to intentionally set so many stages of tests just to pass on the role to the next person, you cant also be someone who would jump to conclusions so easily. But you refused to let me leave so it can only be the second reason: You cant tell me the reason!

His face began to turn green.

Let me guess. Why cant you tell me? Shen Ying continued to narrate her thoughts. If you cant tell me the reason, you must be trying to hide something. But were both judges. If all the managers in the void colluded together to fight us, they still would not be our match. Of course we would only be each others math! So that something youre hiding must relate to me! But before today, we have never met. We dont have anything personal against each other. You have no other reason to kill me, other than our common identity.

The man lowered his gaze.

Thats why Im bold enough to continue making my guess. Shen Yings expression turned extremely serious. In a low voice, she said, Whatever you said about there only being one judge might be real! But only you can sense that I certainly cannot. I suddenly fell into a deep coma and realised that I was a judge. Then did you also realise that you were no longer a judge? Perhaps and more likely your powers all disappeared!

Shut up! He glared at her all of a sudden. Panic flickered across his face.

But Shen Ying kept going. She emphasised on each word as she continued, Im afraid there was no test to begin with.From the beginning, you set your mind on killing me! Then he would be the only judge left.

Hmph! He tutted, as if realising that there was no longer any need to pretend any further. Slowly, his expression turned hateful. I really did belittle you! When did you begin to suspect me?

Shen Ying lowered her gaze. From the moment you tried to kill my men! He really did hide his motives well. His only mistake was not hiding his killing intent toward Lonemoon and Chef. After that, it was difficult for Shen Yings supicions not to be raised.

The man stared blankly at her, visibly shocked. So you knew from the very beginning! He closed his eyes. When he reopened them, he could no longer hide the murderous intent that filled his entire body. Then now How about we battle? Come, fight one round with me. At the cost of all the planes.

No! Shen Ying looked at him like he was an idiot. Why should I fight you?

Dont you want to be the only judge? He spat. If you dont fight to win right now, wouldnt you fear that I would come back and kill you one day?

Your powers are deteriorating day by day. Why should I be afraid of you? If this drags on, she would not be the one at the losing end. He was no match for her from very early on!

You The man was getting angrier, but he had nothing to say in response.

You keep trying to make me fight you. Would you only be able to stop me from replacing you if I agree? Shen Ying laughed mirthlessly, seeing through him at once. Im sorry I really cannot cooperate with you!

Once she finished speaking, she turned to leave. She was way overtime today. She began to wonder if Chef had already started cooking she was famished.

Stop right there! The man was enraged now. He reached out and tried to pull Shen Ying back. Shen Ying had guessed correctly. His powers were deteriorating. In other words, if he failed to kill her today, he would lose his chances of winning forever. There were so many planes in the void as well. If she really did not want to see him again, perhaps he would not be able to find her again before his powers completely dissipated. That was why this was his only chance. This was his only chance to reclaim the title of being the judge!

His expression hardened. Since he could not successfully persuade Shen Ying into giving up the position, he thought of some other way to threaten her.

I could tolerate the Big Dao Organizations existence. If you leave, arent you afraid that I would attack the other planes?

Who cares? Shen Ying did not even bother to turn back. It was more important to her that she got her food.

Dont forget you still have those two beloved assistants of yours. It might be easy for you to walk away, but it would not be as easy for either of them to protect their planes.

Shen Ying slowed down.

Oh, thats right. Seeing that his ploy was working, the mans heart leapt. He continued to threaten her, You seem to have another older sister as a manager on a higher plane. Perhaps I should start from her.

Shen Ying stopped walking altogether, but she did not turn around. Her fist tightened around the fruit in her hand, reducing it to dust immediately. All the juices flowed down her fingers as she said in a cool voice, Say that again? Who do you want to attack?

The mans smile looked even more evil. I remember that her plane isnt too far from here, right? I wonder how long that manager would be able to survive under my palm?

Swoosh

Before he could finish speaking, several beams of red light flashed all around him. Immediately, four translucent red walls came up around them, forming a huge red box that trapped them within.

The man looked at the walls with caution. An encapsulation seal? But he had never seen a seal like this before.

Shen Ying slowly turned around. Her nonchalant face was now hardened. Her gaze was so icy that it chilled him to his bones. It was almost as if he could freeze to death just by looking at her. There was a frightening aura that surrounded her, and which surged toward him continuously. Suddenly, it filled the entire box. Rage and murderous intent threatened to kill all forms of life within the box. Even the man who was supposed to be a judge, became frightened. He instinctively took a step back.

At the same time, he heard Shen Ying shout.

I dare you to touch even one strand of hair on my sisters head!

The man jumped. A moment later, excitement overcame him. He began to laugh aloud, Hahaha Thats right. You have no other choice now. Fight me. He summoned all the powers he had as a judge. Otherwise, I will kill your sister Pu!

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Shen Ying, who had been at least ten steps away from him, suddenly appeared right in front of his face. She punched him squarely in the chest.

He felt immense pain shooting through his entire body. Her frightening powers threatened to crush all of his bones. Even his own powers stirred and seemed to flow out of his body after just one blow from Shen Ying.
