Chapter 2221: Chapter 2222: Seizing the Body
So Zheng Chuanhai didn’t seem at all flustered.
He stood off to the side, casually glanced at Chen Jie, then turned to look at the formation.
Within the formation, the seven-foot-tall figure seemed oblivious to its surroundings. As his form grew increasingly thin with the evil qi he emitted, he began to move.
His feet never touched the ground; he remained on that round pearl, seemingly manipulating the Spiritual Pearl beneath him to walk.
His walking followed the bloodstains on the formation on the ground, proceeding with an extremely strange rhythm, slowly approaching Lin Chen.
But Lin Chen evidently didn’t know this; his consciousness seemed to sink into a terrifying purgatory filled with countless spirits.
Among them were Lin Chen’s former friends or past enemies, sharing the commonality of having died long ago.
Some died because of Lin Chen, while others were killed by Lin Chen.
The moment Lin Chen’s consciousness sunk, those spirits began to howl like fierce ghosts, emitting piercing screams that echoed in Lin Chen’s mind.
These spirits swiftly rushed over, some reaching out hands, others opening mouths, biting or tearing at the body formed by Lin Chen’s consciousness.
Lin Chen wanted to resist, but felt completely powerless; his hands wouldn’t move, his mouth couldn’t speak, as if he was merely an object at their mercy.
Though only conscious, the pain was real; Lin Chen felt as if his brain might explode, his body aching intensely, trembling slightly within.
Sun Tianming was only a dozen meters from Lin Chen, seeing his state clearly, causing him to grit his teeth, desperately wanting to rush over.
"Being distracted isn’t a good habit."
At this moment, Xu Hao spoke lightly, his voice sharp, like a sharp blade piercing Sun Tianming’s heart, causing him to jolt back to reality.
Xu Hao, constantly hindering his approach earlier, was weakest in strength among them yet extremely fast, and though Sun Tianming couldn’t be hurt by him, he couldn’t break free either.
But now, in Sun Tianming’s moment of distraction, Xu Hao seized the opportunity, just as Zheng Chuanhai had anticipated, swiftly lunging downward, flashing a blooded dagger toward Sun Tianming’s leg, seemingly intent on cutting it off!
Originally, Xu Hao’s speed was extremely fast, now even faster with this downward momentum; Sun Tianming’s pupils constricted, implying he might not dodge in time!
"Watch out!"
With Chen Jie’s reminder, her voice, like a radiant light, swiftly reached her; from her sleeve, two short daggers simultaneously emerged. With her hands crossed, the blades met, intercepting Xu Hao’s swift strike.
Clang! The sound of metal clashing, bursting forth with sparks!
Xu Hao failed to land a hit; he swiftly retreated several steps, giving Chen Jie no chance to follow up with an attack.
"Quickly, save Lin Chen! I’ll hold him off!"
Sun Tianming, having just been knocked to the ground by Chen Jie’s swift interception, quickly stood up and urgently spoke, seeing that figure nearing Lin Chen.
"Alright."
Chen Jie nodded solemnly; she knew the pills she took had a time limit, and immediately without further ado, her figure flickered as she turned in the air, swiftly heading toward Lin Chen.
Having just consumed the pills, her cultivation temporarily surged, directly boosting her power significantly and enhancing her speed greatly.
This was why Chen Jie had bypassed that strong man to save Sun Tianming earlier.
Now, Chen Jie was speeding toward Lin Chen.
Despite only being a dozen meters away, Chen Jie, flickering, barely required even a half breath of time.
Seeing the distance closing, Chen Jie grew increasingly delighted. Her plan was simple: leverage the momentum to pull Lin Chen out of the formation’s range.
Yet as she grew joyous, Zheng Chuanhai also rushed over, displeased.
"Have you all forgotten about my existence? Hmm?"
His words were light, but his attack was terrifyingly vicious; even facing someone like Chen Jie, his assault was ruthless.
A kick was delivered, devoid of aesthetic grace but filled with immense power.
Like a mighty hammer swinging, it stirred the air into a roaring tumult.
Chen Jie’s expression changed, her ears ringing fiercely. Moments later, a blazing pain spread across her lovely face.
Thud...
In an instant, blood sprayed, scattered through the air, landing on the formation.
With the blood infusion, the formation’s power surged marginally, exhibiting an uncanny evilness.
Having kicked Chen Jie away, Zheng Chuanhai seemed angered. His movements didn’t pause; instead, he rushed even faster towards Sun Tianming.
His momentum surpassed earlier; in this moment, his full strength manifested.
"Since you all wish to die, I’ll grant you that!"
Zheng Chuanhai roared, his anger full, as this important task of summoning back the ancestor left no room for carelessness.
Now at this critical juncture, how could he allow them to act recklessly?
Sun Tianming, hearing Chen Jie rush forth, barely had time to respond before intense pain sent him flying backward!
This speed was unimaginable, leaving no time to react!
"So this is his true strength..."
Chen Jie despaired; she had known of his formidable cultivation but didn’t realize she underestimated him. His power neared that of a Sect Elder, a level she couldn’t contend with.
Ah!
Meanwhile, within the formation, that figure already neared Lin Chen, his body emitting sinister evil qi, seemingly wanting to swallow Lin Chen whole.
Streams of evil qi seemed to solidify, enveloping Lin Chen’s face, while the round pearl was pinched in the figure’s hand, slowly aiming for Lin Chen’s brow!
This scene caused Lin Chen to wail in agony, feeling as if his mind might explode, his consciousness being dispersed.
"Don’t resist; give your body over, and I’ll lead it to glory." The figure whispered softly, his voice enveloped in allure.
