Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 409 – You’ve Changed Quite a Bit

Before Lin Fan’s words even faded, she pressed lightly with her foot, and a ring of white sonic boom clouds exploded in place as she vanished without a trace.

That wasn’t Spatial Ability—it was pure speed, fast enough to break the sound barrier with her physical body alone.

Over thirty thousand meters away, at a rocky outcrop.

Three disheveled female figures stopped, gasping for breath.

One was a feline gene-fusion hybrid, her large eyes filled with lingering terror.

Another’s fleshy wings flapped weakly behind her, dripping with foul-smelling mucus.

The last one’s skin had a metallic, grayish-blue sheen, now dull and lusterless.

“D-Did we lose her?”

The cat-eared woman spoke, still shaken. The moment the words left her lips, she froze in place.

Not far away, atop a moss-covered boulder, that white-haired demoness sat with elegant poise.

She had slipped off her high heels, revealing a pair of bare feet as fair as jade, and was holding a delicate nail file, leisurely filing her cherry-red toenails.

As if sensing their gaze, Lin Fan didn’t even lift her head. Her voice drifted over, light and airy.

“Keep running. Don’t stop.”

“Show me everything you’ve got—let me see how far the Federation’s gene technology has come.”

That contemptuous tone cut deeper than any insult.

“I’ll kill you!”

The gray-skinned woman let out a shrill shriek.

She had the strongest defense of the three. Knowing escape was hopeless, she burned her life force, transforming into a streak of metallic light, charging at Lin Fan in a suicidal assault!

A fierce gust of wind rushed past, lifting a few strands of Lin Fan’s silver hair.

She finally raised her head, and in those starry eyes, a bewitching radiance swirled.

Charm Magic Eye.

There was no earth-shattering clash of energy. The streak of metallic light abruptly froze mid-air.

A cold, rigid stiffness began at the metal skin of her feet and spread upward, irreversible.

The grayish-blue skin rapidly transformed into the texture of genuine rock.

Her consciousness lingered for one final second in her petrified brain, leaving only pure terror behind.

“Clatter!”

With a sharp crack, a stone statue frozen in a charging pose slammed to the ground and shattered into several pieces.

The remaining cat-eared woman and winged woman had all color drain from their faces in an instant, their screams caught in their throats.

“Ugly. Not even worth keeping as a trophy.”

Lin Fan curled her lips in disdain.

“But as material, I suppose they barely qualify.”

She stood up and casually waved a hand at the two women who were frozen in terror.

Mental Strength erupted!

Their eyes instantly went vacant, losing all spark of life as they toppled over stiffly.

[Qualifying biological specimens detected. Production commencing…]

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained Epic-grade Skins x3.]

A creation born of drinking poison to quench thirst.

Lin Fan glanced at the three skins radiating a faint purple glow in her System Space and gave her assessment.

Forcibly fusing genes from other races might raise one’s level on the surface.

But in truth, the foundation was completely ruined—lifespan pitifully short, and even the innate talents of Blue Star’s Bloodline were lost.

It was like forging gold into scrap iron.

Well, at least it was a good start toward collecting those two hundred Epic-grade materials.

As for the remaining men, there was no need to be so gentle.

Lin Fan brushed off nonexistent dust from her skirt, then raised her head again, her gaze piercing through the void.

Several thousand meters away, Xu Zhen had already plunged headfirst into the mountain hollow.

He glanced back during his desperate flight—behind him was empty space. The female demon hadn’t pursued!

“Pant… pant… scared me half to death!”

He leaned against a rock wall, gasping for air, cold sweat mixing with blood on his face.

“What kind of monster is that woman?”

“Once I get back and report to Elder Chen, we’ll have to use orbital weapons and wipe this entire plateau off the map!”

Xu Zhen’s harsh words hadn’t even finished leaving his mouth when a chill exploded from the back of his neck.

“Where exactly… do you plan to wipe out?”

A voice—incredibly soft, seductive, yet making every hair on his body stand on end—whispered right by his ear.

His movements froze instantly as he turned his head inch by inch.

Lin Fan stood atop the massive boulder beside him, looking down at him from above. Those starry eyes held an abyss capable of devouring everything.

“How is this possible… when did you…”

Xu Zhen was utterly despairing. The instinct to survive drove him to let out a beast-like roar.

His arms flailed wildly as two solid, moon-like bloody blade qi tore through the air with a piercing shriek, slashing outward!

Lin Fan didn’t even bother to dodge.

The bloody blade qi slammed into the invisible Mental Barrier surrounding her body—without so much as a ripple, it silently dissolved.

“That’s all you’ve got?”

Lin Fan shook her head.

“You’re the last one left. I’ll give you a dignified death.”

As her words fell, her eyes suddenly blazed with an eerie emerald light.

Mythic Grade talent—Charm Magic Eye!

This time, Xu Zhen didn’t even have time to feel numbness. His vision rapidly dimmed.

“No… my power… my body…”

He looked down in terror, watching helplessly as his skin turned to stone inch by inch, his muscles stiffened inch by inch.

Within two breaths, a peak Level 6 gene-augmented warrior had become a stone statue frozen in absolute terror.

Lin Fan couldn’t be bothered to interrogate him for information—that was too slow.

Worst case, she could just wear the Skin of those female augmented humans and read their memories directly. Simple and efficient.

…

Western Sichuan Base.

From Lin Fan’s departure to her return, barely five minutes had passed.

At the center of the battlefield, those several thousand soldiers still hadn’t dispersed.

Guangtou Qiang was indeed a tough nut to crack. Surrounded by thousands beating him like a punching bag, all kinds of Special Abilities raining down on him like they cost nothing—he still hadn’t breathed his last.

Though he was no longer recognizable as human, and the red markings on his body had dimmed to near invisibility.

“Boss lady, this guy’s got the constitution of a turtle, right? He can take a beating like crazy!”

Lu Yuan rubbed his sore wrist and spat.

“Thousands of people ganging up on him, and he’s still holding out this long!”

Chen Mo nodded from the side. He’d gotten tired just from throwing punches.

Lin Fan landed on the ground. The crisp sound of her high heels striking the concrete silenced the chaotic scene instantly.

“That’s because you’re all too weak. After this is over, everyone’s getting extra training!”

She was about to finish this guy off with her Mental Strength when the crowd behind her suddenly parted, forming a path.

A figure swayed slightly, but each step landed with absolute steadiness as he slowly walked forward.

The man held a nearly melted milk candy in his hand and casually tossed it into his mouth.

It was Chu Chen.

But the look in his eyes now was utterly different from the lazy, misty gaze he’d always had before.

The dark circles under his eyes remained heavy, but the depths of his pupils were startlingly clear, as if two high-speed supercomputers were hidden within, making anyone who met his gaze feel as though they had been thoroughly analyzed from the inside out.

“You switch forms quite frequently.”

Chu Chen’s voice was noticeably clearer as well. Instead of crouching down somewhere as he usually did, he stood perfectly straight.

“Last time we met, you had Dragon horns. Now you’ve turned back into a human?”

Lin Fan’s handsome eyebrows arched slightly, but he offered no explanation.

“Your transformation is no small matter either.”

At this, Chu Chen let out a self-deprecating laugh, tinged with a hint of relief.

“Can’t help it. It’s been nearly twenty years. If I don’t break free now, I’ll never have another chance in this lifetime to find my true self.”
