Chapter 1942: Chapter 1939: Each More Extreme Than the Last
When she thought Lin Tian was stepping back to look, Lin Tian acted, throwing a punch at the woman, mercilessly.
With a bang, smoke billowed up, the woman disappeared and then reappeared on the other side, but she had reverted to her own form. The black-robed woman stared at Lin Tian, sneering coldly, "You men are truly hypocritical, wanting to look but afraid to see, yet acting so pretentiously!"
"I never deny that I want to look, if I want to see, I will do it myself, but I hate being controlled, being played for a fool!" Lin Tian replied coldly, his mind unwavering as he continued to attack the black-robed woman.
Zhang Lingyu heard his words, both tearful and amused, unable to decide whether to praise him or angrily rebuke him. Perhaps this was Lin Tian, a man of independence, freedom, and unrestrained charm.
Seeing Lin Tian continue to attack, Zhang Lingyu hurriedly reminded, "Lin Tian, be careful, she’s a special spiritual body, sealed in the Spirit Suppressing Tower due to excessive resentment and evil qi, unable to be guided into the Netherworld."
"The thing I fear least is evil qi, today I’ll send her to the Netherworld, so she doesn’t stay here, transforming into your image to lure others. I don’t allow anyone to see your body, even if it’s her transformation!" Lin Tian said domineeringly.
"You bastard, what nonsense are you talking..." Zhang Lingyu’s face reddened, simultaneously shy and annoyed, yet strangely pleased.
"A few little kids, such big talk, let’s see if the one going to the Netherworld is me or you!" The black-robed woman’s voice was hoarse and unpleasant as she waved a hand, causing a mass of black qi to fall, obstructing Lin Tian.
Lin Tian didn’t dodge, charging through, as the black qi attempted to invade his body but bounced off unable to penetrate even slightly.
The black qi dispersed upon contact, and within the limited space of the tower, Lin Tian almost instantly appeared before the black-robed woman, his five fingers clawed, grasping her neck with such force that even steel would rupture.
"Hehehe..." The black-robed woman didn’t resist but instead let out a piercing laugh.
With a dull thud, the woman was crushed, but instead of a scene drenched in blood, several streams of black qi surged forth, flying in all directions.
As the black qi landed, they transformed into figures, suddenly becoming four identical black-robed women. Amidst a bout of laughter, the four black-robed women transformed once again.
The one facing Lin Tian became Zhang Lingyu, the one on Zhang Lingyu’s side became Lin Tian, and the one on Zhang Ruyan’s side astonishingly transformed into Xu Feibai! The remaining one turned into Zhang Ruyan after a swirl of black qi.
"What’s going on?" Lin Tian furrowed his brow.
"Sister Ruyan, you... how can you be him?" Zhang Lingyu naturally recognized Xu Feibai, having crossed paths at the shrine before, yet unaware that Xu Feibai was Zhang Ruyan’s ex-boyfriend. Now, she fully understood.
But Lin Tian was utterly confused. He could understand turning into himself or Zhang Lingyu, but Xu Feibai wasn’t here, yet the black-robed woman could still transform into him.
Honestly, in that split second, he even wondered if Xu Feibai had impulsively come to the Spirit Suppressing Tower. But upon reflection, it seemed impossible, as Xu Feibai couldn’t have opened the Spirit Suppressing Tower alone.
"The spiritual body can not only transform into anyone present but also potentially change into what you think of," Zhang Lingyu said solemnly.
"What the hell, that’s too perverse. Isn’t Ruyan going to lose her mind and turn against us?" Lin Tian cursed, suddenly considering the possibility.
Zhang Ruyan was emotionally unstable, sometimes calm, sometimes extreme. With "Xu Feibai" suddenly appearing, who knows what she would do under provocation.
Her strength was above Zhang Lingyu’s. If she turned hostile, things would turn dire.
Not only would they face a formidable enemy, but she could also trigger some disturbance in the Spirit Suppressing Tower, activate other prohibitions, potentially stir the barrier, and even draw in the Zhang Family, which would be the worst outcome.
Upon hearing Lin Tian’s words, Zhang Ruyan glanced over and suddenly moved. With a swift step, she drifted forward, her speed dazzling, holding a talisman that appeared in her hand at some unknown time.
She struck repeatedly, landing blows on Xu Feibai. Due to her speed, the fake Xu Feibai didn’t react, getting plastered with several talismans.
"Explode!" Zhang Ruyan said flatly, her voice cold.
Boom boom boom...
The talismans exploded continuously with flashes of fire and thunder, all elements—water, fire, wind, and lightning—exploded in succession. In an instant, fake Xu Feibai was blown to bits, dispersing into nothingness.
Throughout, Zhang Ruyan didn’t bat an eyelash, making Lin Tian break into a cold sweat. This woman was ruthless.
"I originally didn’t bother with you, but since you provoked me, taste the consequence of that," Zhang Ruyan spoke with indifference, suddenly flicking her hand, sending several card-like talismans shooting into the remaining doppelgangers.
Zhang Ruyan’s gaze intensified as all the talismans flickered, causing automatic explosions among the doppelgangers, dispersing just like the fake "Xu Feibai."
Since entering the Spirit Suppressing Tower, Zhang Ruyan had spoken little, hardly making a move, but at this moment, she erupted like lightning, dismantling the illusion in a blink.
This was what happened when you provoked Zhang Ruyan, an unpredictable and elusive woman. Lin Tian and Zhang Lingyu were left exchanging glances, unsure of what to think.
The black-robed woman, encountering a woman whose resentment and evil qi matched her own, seemed to be stunned, not showing herself for a long time.
"You think by staying hidden, I won’t find you?" Lin Tian’s eyes flashed coldly as he suddenly took off a metal wristband, throwing it towards a dark corner.
The wristband instantly enlarged, encircling a mass of darkness. A surge of black qi rose, attempting to escape the wristband. Lin Tian quickly appeared, grabbing the wristband as purple flames rose, flashing lightning within the violet blaze.
Ah...
A scream, the black qi withdrew, struggling within the wristband but unable to break the constraints of the purple flames and lightning.
"Your Heavenly Tribulation Sword, straddling between Ancient Martial Treasure Sword and Demon Exorcist Magic Artifact, astonishing indeed." Though Zhang Ruyan maintained her aloofness, her eyes carried a hint of amazement.
Lin Tian knew that the Heavenly Tribulation Sword was not fundamentally different from the Violet Lightning Frost, weapons of the Ancient Martial Artists, and that it could harm spiritual bodies due to the presence of purple flames, now bolstered by electrical energy.
"Think trapping me is enough? The Spirit Suppressing Tower held me for many years, yet I remain intact, dreaming that I’ll willingly descend into Hell, keep dreaming!" A hateful voice emanated from the black qi.
"Aren’t you afraid I’ll expose this girl’s body? Well, as long as anyone comes, I’ll transform into her appearance, and without clothes. Whether they be man, woman, old, or young, they can all see her body. If your rival shows up, I can even help fulfill a wish, sampling the sensation of this body. I’m sure your rival would be quite delighted."
"Hahaha..." The black-robed woman let out a heartless laugh, filled with resentment, arrogance, and hubris.
