His location suddenly exposed, Zheng Sanjie didn't hesitate and imdiately turned to flee, muttering an incantation as he ran.
HUM!
An invisible energy field ford around him, like a transparent wall protecting him at its center.
His chanting wasn't quiet, but Shen Youling was completely unaware. Not wanting to frighten her, Lin Tang had completely blocked out the sound.
At the sa ti, Lin Tang revealed himself. He ca within three steps of Zheng Sanjie and was about to get closer, only to find himself blocked by the invisible wall.
Sothing's not right. There isn't actually anything blocking . It's my own thoughts—my brain is deceiving my senses. Interesting. So this is the profundity of the Incantation Arts? Lin Tang murmured.
After all, his spiritual power was imnse. Zheng Sanjie's spiritual power, in comparison, was like that of an ant to an elephant. If Zheng Sanjie had tried any other form of spiritual attack against Lin Tang, it would have been utterly useless and would have backfired on him instead. Yet the Incantation Art he used was so intricate that even Lin Tang had nearly fallen for it.
Unfortunately, the gap between them was far too vast.
Even if I believe there's a 'wall' in front of , well... I just have to break it, right?
BOOM!
He spread his fingers, and a blinding pillar of light shot out from his palm. The so-called "wall" shattered as if made of paper, instantly dispelled.
"It's you? How can you be so powerful?!" Zheng Sanjie was even more shocked when he saw Lin Tang's face.
He had obviously seen photos or videos of Lin Tang, having investigated him beforehand. He was supposed to be a cripple... Even if his martial arts hadn't been crippled, he shouldn't have been this absurdly powerful.
Before he could react, Lin Tang's palm was already pressed against his chest. He held back his True Qi, instead unleashing a concentrated blast of force.
Zheng Sanjie coughed up a mouthful of blood. It gathered in mid-air, congealed into a small sphere, and then evaporated without a trace, preventing it from staining the floor and requiring cleanup.
The next mont, Lin Tang left, carrying Zheng Sanjie like a sack of garbage.
「After a while.」
Shen Youling suddenly awoke. She propped herself up and looked around.
Strange, I feel like soone was here. Am I imagining things?
「Nearby.」
On a patch of lawn, Zheng Sanjie was thrown to the ground, looking like a flattened toad.
"Don't kill !" he pleaded in terror, seeing a laser-like beam of light appear at Lin Tang's fingertip, about to pierce him.
"In the dead of night, you try to peep on my wife, and you think I won't kill you?" Lin Tang said coldly.
"No, no! I definitely wasn't trying to peep! I just wanted to check if... your esteed wife possesses a special physique..."
"Hmph!" Lin Tang's voice grew even colder. "And how would you check? The sa way you touched my father-in-law from head to toe? You deserve to die!"
"Ah? No, no, I... AHH!!"
Zheng Sanjie scread as if being crushed by a giant python. His body doubled over, and the sound of his bones cracking filled the air. He wanted to use the Incantation Arts again, but the pain was too great for him to chant.
Deep regret filled his heart. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have been so reckless. It turns out all my actions were right under his nose. I was just a clown.
At this mont, Lee Encai arrived at Lin Tang's side. "Are you really going to kill him? Won't that make an enemy of Luofu Palace?"
Lin Tang considered this for a mont.
Zheng Sanjie felt the pressure on his body ease and the pain lessen. He hurriedly seized the opportunity. "Yes, yes! I am the Current Emissary of Luofu Palace! I represent its honor. If you kill , you'll be making an enemy of Luofu Palace!"
Lee Encai was speechless.
This idiot. Does he even know how to talk? Using threats at a ti like this... He's truly asking for death!
"I even dared to kill the Blood Ancestor. What makes you think Luofu Palace ans anything to ?" Lin Tang sneered, holding nothing back.
CRACK!
Zheng Sanjie's neck was twisted one hundred eighty degrees, and his body convulsed. His eyes widened in disbelief, nearly splitting from their sockets. He had already announced the na of Luofu Palace, so why did this man show not the slightest hesitation? Had he never heard of it? Or...
Just as he was about to die, a warm current suddenly enveloped his body. It rapidly healed his fatal injuries, bringing him back from the brink of death.
Lin Tang raised an eyebrow, ready to strike again.
"Stay your hand!"
The Mystic Maiden, dressed in palace robes, appeared at their side, looking utterly exhausted. With a wave of her hand, she sent Zheng Sanjie flying into the distance. She looked at Lin Tang and said irritably, "I knew you were going to cause trouble again. I've already warned you not to make enemies so carelessly. Do you really want to push every power into the Underworld's camp?"
Seeing her arrival, Lin Tang was about to change his face to that of Long Tianji.
The Mystic Maiden was exasperated. "Don't bother. I've already seen through your identity. No matter how the physical shell changes, the essence of the soul remains the sa."
"Is that so?" Lin Tang felt a bit embarrassed, then put on a disdainful expression. "They turn to the Underworld's camp simply because I oppose them? An organization like that deserves to be called righteous?"
"That may be so, but as the great cataclysm approaches, it's best to avoid internal conflict. Besides, this man can be considered innocent due to ignorance. If you had revealed your identity from the start, he never would have dared to be so presumptuous."
"Easy for you to say. If he, in his ignorance, tried to 'examine' your body, wouldn't you flay him alive? How about this: to prove your magnanimity, you let examine your body, and I'll let him go. What do you say?"
"You..." The Mystic Maiden's face flushed with anger, knowing he was deliberately twisting her words. Her tone cooled. "Your true body has already been exiled to another dinsion. If you ever want to return, you had better behave! As long as you follow my arrangents from now on, I can reward you for your contributions and retrieve your true body after the cataclysm has passed."
