Lian He had protected Lin Zitong for several lifetimes. It could be said that in this world, besides Yan Shouyi, Lian He was the one who loved Lin Zitong the most.
When Lian He saw the wound on Lin Zitong's arm, rage almost consumed her reason.
Lü Xin had never seen a ghost with such heavy killing intent. Judging by her aura, her strength might not be inferior to a Ghost King!
"Lian He!"
Just as Lian He was about to attack Lü Xin, Lin Zitong suddenly shouted, "Go help Hei Chuan Lu first!"
Hei Chuan Lu was holding back two Ghost Kings by himself, but he had also reached his limit.
In these short ten minutes, Hei Chuan Lu was already covered in wounds, and even half of his arm was broken.
The true breakthrough in this battle was not on Lin Zitong's side, but on Hei Chuan Lu. If Hei Chuan Lu failed to stop the two Ghost Kings, and the two Ghost Kings joined the fight again, Lin Zitong would have no chance of winning!
As for Lin Zitong herself, she was still somewhat confident in dealing with Lü Xin.
Upon hearing this, Lian He glared hatefully at Lü Xin, then obediently transformed into a wisp of ghostly energy and rushed towards the two Ghost Kings!
With Lian He's joining, Hei Chuan Lu's pressure immediately eased. The two of them, fighting together, even had the upper hand against the two Ghost Kings.
The tables had turned, and it was only a matter of time before Lian He and Hei Chuan Lu killed the two Ghost Kings.
Sensing that things were not right, Lü Xin's expression gradually turned solemn.
She had originally thought that her Ghost Kings, working with Xi Po and the Ghost Infant, would be more than enough to surround and kill Lin Zitong. To her surprise, Lin Zitong had endless trump cards. Although she still had a slight advantage, killing Lin Zitong would definitely require some time and cost.
Lü Xin would not be naive enough to believe that Yan Shouyi and the others would completely ignore Lin Zitong.
According to her estimation, it would take Yan Shouyi and the others at least half an hour to deal with the ghosts she had released. This meant she still had a quarter of an hour to deal with Lin Zitong.
"Damn Lü Shan Sect!"
Feeling pressured, Lü Xin blamed the Lü Shan Sect for everything.
Suddenly, she calmed down and asked Lin Zitong calmly, "Don't you want to know where I've locked up Lü Jing?"
Lin Zitong inserted her Red God Umbrella into a crack in the stone bricks beneath her feet, leaning against it. She asked coldly, "Are you ready to talk?"
"I killed him!" Lü Xin replied.
Lin Zitong was not moved by this at all. It wasn't because she had no feelings for Lü Jing, but because she could tell Lü Xin was stalling for time.
Killing Lü Jing would have brought no benefit to Lü Xin before, so Lin Zitong did not believe Lü Jing was dead.
The reason she was still willing to listen to Lü Xin's ramblings was that Lin Zitong herself needed time to recover her strength.
The killing intent had been completely absorbed by Lian He, but it still left Lin Zitong with after-effects. Just now, while Lian He was present, she had given herself two pills from Old Jin.
Once the pills took effect, Lin Zitong would not hesitate to kill Lü Xin.
Lü Xin was wearing a loose Taoist robe, which prevented Lin Zitong from seeing her hand hidden in her sleeve. She quietly took out a small crossbow and aimed it at Lin Zitong.
"Then do you want to know where your master, Lü Jingsheng, is now?" Lü Xin asked again.
Lin Zitong's brows furrowed. She did not reply, silently counting down in her heart.
Ten seconds, only ten seconds, and she would have the strength to fight again!
However, Lü Xin no longer needed to wait ten seconds!
Swish!
The crossbow hidden in her sleeve shot out fiercely, heading straight for Lin Zitong's heart!
Lin Zitong's expression changed drastically. Her body had not recovered, and her movements were slow, giving her no time to dodge!
"Die!" Lü Xin's face contorted into a ferocious smile. She couldn't wait to see the tragic fate of this woman who had ruined her plans!
However—
Chirp—
A sharp bird cry came from the sky, followed by a golden bird descending from the heavens, blocking in front of Lin Zitong!
This bird was similar in size to a wild goose and was golden all over. The crossbow bolt hit its body, leaving only an indentation before bouncing harmlessly to the side!
"San Yuan!"
Lin Zitong was overjoyed. She had almost forgotten about this little guy in the sky!
Lü Xin was so enraged that her head spun. Why did Lin Zitong have so many helpers around her?!
San Yuan flapped its wings and unleashed a palm lightning directly at Lü Xin. The already injured Lü Xin became even more disheveled.
It was a pity that Yan Shouyi was not present. If he could have helped San Yuan unleash the Wood Puppet Heavenly Law, San Yuan alone could have swept away those two Ghost Kings and completely changed the tide of the battle.
However, the situation had already improved, because Lin Zitong's body had recovered!
Ten seconds were up!
Lin Zitong instantly disappeared from her spot, holding the Red God Umbrella and charging towards Lü Xin!
Her spear struck like a dragon!
Lü Xin's face turned pale. She flicked her whisk to block, while constantly retreating!
The narrow alley soon reached its end. Lü Xin's back was against the wall, with nowhere left to retreat!
Lin Zitong took the opportunity to attack Lü Xin's lower body. With a sweeping blow, she knocked Lü Xin to the ground, then flicked her spear tip, directly severing Lü Xin's Achilles tendon!
"Ah!!!"
Lü Xin let out a piercing scream!
Putting aside her ghost controlling techniques, Lü Xin, like Weng Qianxiang, was merely someone with powerful disguise skills.
Although her martial arts were formidable, she was still a bit weaker than Lin Zitong!
Lin Zitong snorted coldly, and immediately severed Lü Xin's wrist tendons, knocking her whisk into the nearby ruins!
But at the last moment, Lin Zitong stopped. She didn't want to kill Lü Xin, because Lü Xin might know the whereabouts of her master.
"Speak! Where is my master?!" Lin Zitong asked coldly, holding the tip of the Red God Umbrella to Lü Xin's throat.
Lü Xin gritted her teeth and sneered, "Kill me, and no one will ever know Lü Jingsheng's whereabouts!"
"You think I wouldn't dare?!" Lin Zitong retorted. "You should know that living people are not the only ones who can speak in this world!"
If she killed Lü Xin, took her soul, and then had Weng Qianxiang interrogate her using the ghost controlling techniques of the Painted Skin Person, she would still get the results.
However, doing so also carried certain risks, such as the possibility of fragmented memories, or Lü Xin having a strong will and destroying her own soul at the moment of death.
As the two sides were in a stalemate, Lin Zitong suddenly noticed a flicker of cunning in Lü Xin's eyes.
At the same time, San Yuan also pounced over!
Lin Zitong did not turn around, but she knew what was happening behind her.
It must be that Xi Po, who had silently shaken off the five evil spirits, had come to support Lü Xin!
Although Xi Po and Lü Xin were not on good terms, both belonged to the Twelve Yuan Chen. Xi Po understood the principle of "lips and teeth are cold," so she would never stand by and watch Lin Zitong kill Lü Xin!
"Little girl, I am extremely interested in the child in your belly!"
Xi Po's sinister voice echoed in Lin Zitong's ears, and then the sharp iron hook instantly pierced through Lin Zitong's collarbone, forcefully dragging her backward!!
