Chapter 142: You Are Very Smart, But Unfortunately, You Know Nothing About Power!
Zhao Yazhi said with a smug smile, “You couldn’t guess? Because this core is very special; it can absorb power!”
“After absorbing those Taoists, I found that my power increased at an incredible rate. However, Huang Long never knew this and always underestimated me.”
Lin Fengmian suddenly realized, “So that’s why you insisted on killing him; you wanted to take his power.”
“Thank you for explaining. You’re really great. If I had known earlier that you were so capable, I would have liked you.”
Zhao Yazhi smiled slightly, “You’re welcome. You’re much smarter and more capable than I imagined. I think it wouldn’t be bad to marry you. How about we work together?”
Lin Fengmian laughed bitterly, “Forget it. I don’t want to die in my sleep one day.”
He suddenly felt something was wrong and frowned, “With your intelligence, you should have noticed that I was stalling for time. Could it be that…”
His expression changed, “Not good!”
This guy was also stalling for time!
Zhao Yazhi’s face showed a hint of pain, but she grinned, “You noticed? Too late!”
Suddenly, her body began to mutate. White fur grew on her face, a long tail sprouted from her back, and sharp fangs protruded from her mouth.
She had transformed into a half-human, half-demon creature, and a powerful demonic aura rose to the sky!
She leapt up and unleashed a blow that caused the entire ground to collapse.
Zhao Yazhi’s triumphant voice echoed, “Lin Fengmian, you are very smart, but unfortunately, you know nothing about the power of the Core Formation Realm!”
Lin Fengmian stared at the collapsed hall in shock and muttered, “Damn, this is ridiculous. How could a single punch penetrate such a thick floor?”
Zhao Yazhi, now fully demonized, jumped into the pit. Her knife-sharp hands dug deeper and deeper like a rat.
Lin Fengmian could only pray that Huang Long was outside the barrier, as this formation was basically a complete circle.
If the secret chamber was deep enough, Huang Long and the others would be outside the barrier. If not, they would be within its reach.
However, it was clear that his hopes were dashed as screams echoed from the deep pit.
Lin Fengmian’s face turned pale as he quickly said, “Yunxi, light the incense!”
Xia Yunxi quickly took out an incense stick and lit it – it was the Immortal Seeking Incense.
The fox demoness outside the city who was attacking continuously stopped and then smiled. With a wave of her hand, the surrounding demons slowly retreated.
Lin Fengmian quickly activated the formation in the city lord’s hall to its maximum strength, and then pulled Zhao Yucheng to quickly retreat.
Soon, a figure jumped out of the deep pit – it was Zhao Yazhi, her face covered in blood.
She had completely transformed into a demon, with furry hair on her face, exposed fangs, and a once beautiful face that was now twisted and terrifying.
This demon had a strange shape, resembling both a fox and a civet, but it was filled with an evil aura.
She opened her huge mouth, revealing sharp teeth, and let out a bone-chilling roar.
Behind her, three tails of blood energy, two large and one small, slowly swayed in the air.
As she moved within the formation, constantly colliding with it, her aura grew stronger, and the third tail became more substantial.
At this moment, Luo Xue’s voice echoed in Lin Fengmian’s mind.
“Lin Fengmian, this girl’s strength is close to the early Core Formation realm. You’re no match for for. Retreat quickly!”
Lin Fengmian was initially delighted by Luo Xue’s appearance and excitedly said, “Luo Xue, you’re out?”
However, Luo Xue coldly snorted and fell silent again.
However, Lin Fengmian could sense her presence in his body; she was no longer hiding inside the Pisces Pendant.
Of course, Lin Fengmian wouldn’t dare to fight the demonized Zhao Yazhi. Seeing that she was about to break through the formation, he ran as fast as he could.
As the demonic beasts retreated, Wen Qinlin put down the Array Disk and descended from the air, crashing into the grand hall.
As Wen Qinlin, the focal point of the array, left, the Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon Array that had enveloped the entire city slowly dissipated.
Liu Mei and the others did not dare to let their guard down, watching the demonic beasts outside the city with full attention, fearing that they might launch another attack.
Inside the Great Hall, Wen Qinlin held a long spear and crashed into the formation like a comet, sending Zhao Yazhi flying.
Upon landing, Zhao Yazhi said in disbelief, “You actually allied yourself with that fox demon?”
Lin Fengmian laughed and said, “How else could we trick you into making a move?”
This was the plan he had made with Wen Qinlin before they left the city to meet the fox demon. The Fox Demon would first fake an attack on Ning City.
Once he lit the incense, the fox demon would stop attacking and temporarily retreat.
Half an hour later, he would hand over the Demon Core and the little fox.
The fox demon had no objections; after all, the initiative was in her hands, and stopping the attack for half an hour was no problem.
Realizing that she had been tricked, Zhao Yazhi quickly tried to escape.
However, Wen Qinlin would not let her escape. Holding her long spear, she swooped down from the sky and thrust it down, sending Zhao Yazhi flying again.
Her spear moved like a comet, quickly attacking Zhao Yazhi and forcing her to retaliate.
Their battle stirred up a fierce storm, sparks flying, and the tiles on the square were shattered by the impact.
Zhao Yazhi darted across the square like lightning, her speed blurring into a series of illusions as she viciously attacked Wen Qinlin.
Despite her incredible speed, her attacks were chaotic and wild, filled with madness.
Wen Qinlin, on the other hand, had been trained in the orthodox Daoist tradition, her cultivation at the level of middle Core Formation Realm was solid and formidable, far surpassing the likes of Huang Long.
Her movements were agile, her techniques sharp, and her spear movements drew beautiful yet deadly arcs, thoroughly suppressing Zhao Yazhi.
Although Zhao Yazhi’s strength was close to the Core Formation Realm, she could only attack instinctively. Aside from her speed, she was no match for Wen Qinlin.
She was completely overwhelmed by Wen Qinlin’s spear, and each time she was thrown back with bruises all over her body, her wounds increasing with each strike.
Despite this, Zhao Yazhi fought with increasing ferocity, her eyes glowing with madness as if she knew no fatigue.
She roared continuously, trying to break free from Wen Qinlin’s restraint and launch more intense attacks.
Wen Qinlin frowned and took the opportunity to bring down her spear, sending Zhao Yazhi crashing into the wall like a cannonball.
She spun her spear and dragged her along, coldly saying, “Surrender now, I don’t want to kill you.”
Zhao Yazhi struggled to her feet, her face twisted into a grotesque expression and said, “Surrender? Waiting for me is only death, isn’t it?”
“What have I done wrong? I only wanted to gain power, to be free from control. Is that wrong?”
Wen Qinlin calmly said, “Not wanting to be controlled is not wrong, but the way you gained power is wrong.”
Zhao Yazhi said angrily, “You don’t understand. As a woman, I was born without freedom, not even to choose my own marriage.”
“I didn’t want to be controlled by them, I didn’t want to be a tool for political alliances. I wanted to prove my worth. Do you understand?”
Wen Qinlin’s expression was complex, and she nodded and said, “I understand!”
