Chapter 329: Chapter 261: Whirlwind (44)_2

"Lin Xing, look up at the sky!"

Lin Xing waved his right hand, and the dust in the sky suddenly dispersed, revealing the pitch-black sky.

Beyond the original vortex connected to the girl in black, more sinister vortexes appeared in the sky over different parts of New Ke City.

An odd sensation surged to Lin Xing’s heart; he looked down at his body and noticed that his physical body seemed to undergo some changes under the dense evil aura.

...

Deep beneath the subway of New Ke City.

The girl in black, her complexion pale, lifted her head, "Time is up, we can start the third phase now."

Beside her, a man shrouded in shadows said, "The last puppet replacement has just been used. If you continue to preside over the ritual in your current state..."

The girl in black cracked a smile, "I’ve lived long enough."

She then leaped lightly, and streams of black sword force surged out.

Moments later, the ground cracked, and her figure leapt into the air, soaring skyward.

"Great evil, great resentment, great sorrow, great hatred, disasters in all directions, transforming all beings..."

The black sword force around her flickered, and streams of evil aura descended from the sky and connected with the sword force.

Then, under the girl in black’s control, streams of evil tornadoes fell from the vortexes in the sky, hanging down towards the land of New Ke City.

...

In White Eagle Country’s observatory, as the celestial phenomena changed again, the number of monsters in New Ke City surged dramatically, almost all observed humans were transforming into monsters.

The meeting room was filled with arguments, but no one could come up with any effective solutions.

Just then, the dust from a previous bombing gradually dispersed, revealing the situation inside.

...

Lin Xing clenched his fist forcefully but found his body seemed somewhat out of control.

"Has the high concentration of evil aura also affected my physical body?"

As Lin Xing thought this, another somewhat wilful voice came from his mouth, "Hmm? I can speak now."

"Little Lin Xing?" Lin Xing paused slightly, "Is it you wresting control of the body?"

Little Lin Xing looked innocent, "I haven’t done anything."

"From what I see, under the nourishment of this evil aura, the rate of fusion between us is accelerating."

"And I am you, you are me."

"It shouldn’t be said that I am controlling your body, rather you are gradually starting to use the body with a mindset closer to mine."

Lin Xing tried to calm himself, trying to rid himself of Little Lin Xing’s influence.

Meanwhile, he looked towards where Bai Yiyi was located, "Master Bai..."

He wanted to try and have Master Bai kill him to see if reversing time might alleviate his current state.

But at this moment, Bai Yiyi was just dully pressing her hand on the corpse of a puppet, motionless like a statue, unresponsive to Lin Xing’s call.

Just then, a figure slowly descended from the sky, landing not far from Lin Xing.

The girl in black looked at Lin Xing and said, "You, after all, belong to this world."

"Even though you spent some time in Mirror World, your adaptation to evil aura is far inferior to ours."

She glanced at the streams of evil tornadoes hanging from the sky and said softly, "Besides, in such a dense evil aura environment, even people from Mirror World would be in danger."

Lin Xing, struggling to suppress the influence brought by Little Lin Xing, looked at the girl in black and said, "Why are you doing this?"

The girl in black replied indifferently, "Do you think how your world’s century of peace came about? One very important reason is that you channeled the evil aura of your world into ours."

"This turned most people in your world into swine, but it made most people in our world into lunatics."

Lin Xing’s heart shook slightly.

At the same time, as the concentration of evil aura continued to rise, Lin Xing’s body suddenly shook, his fist clenched uncontrollably.

On the other side, the girl in black looked at him and spoke indifferently, "Do you think the situation in New Ke City is tragic? Do you think this gradual loss of self you’re experiencing is terrible?"

"But in our world, over the past hundred years, tens of thousands have been losing themselves from the moment they were born. They became cruel, violent, impulsive, killing their kin and comrades, and the perpetual wars across the world have never ceased."

"What I’ve done to you is merely one city."

As the girl in black was speaking, streaks of black sword energy continuously emerged.

At that moment, the girl in black suddenly furrowed her brows, and the sword energy blocked in front of her.

She sensed a bullet, moving at a speed hard to see with the naked eye, streaking through the sky toward her.

When the sword energy instinctively blocked in front of her, she suddenly realized that the bullet was aimed at Lin Xing.

Instantly, the sword energy shot out with a whoosh, cutting down the bullet aimed at Lin Xing at a speed far exceeding that of the bullet, turning it to dust.

But soon another bullet came shooting toward Lin Xing’s position, one after another. The girl in black frowned, "Annoying pests."

At the same time, Lin Xing also came to his senses, "Jing Shiyu, run, she’s found you."

But then the girl in black’s figure suddenly flashed and disappeared from in front of Lin Xing.

Lin Xing clenched his teeth hard, struggling to control his body as he chased in the direction where she had disappeared.

At first, it was somewhat difficult, but gradually he felt it was getting easier, as if he was slowly escaping the influence of Little Lin Xing.

Even the figure of Little Lin Xing that had always been floating beside him had now vanished.

Listening to the explosions from afar, Lin Xing’s speed increased, feeling his control over his physical body becoming more adept.

And as the sound of gunfire continued, Lin Xing felt somewhat relieved— as long as the gunfire continued, that meant Jing Shiyu was still alright.

In a blink of an eye, he saw the girl in black floating above the street, and seeing that there was no one by her side, he felt slightly relieved that she had not yet found Jing Shiyu.

Then Lin Xing sensed Jing Shiyu’s location with his spiritual sense.

He moved behind Jing Shiyu, looking at her back, and thought to himself, "Good, she’s safe."

But in the next moment, he halted his steps toward Jing Shiyu, his face turning expressionless.

Jing Shiyu’s hair had started to move slightly, serpent-like, at some unknown point.

The woman in black had also appeared not far away, looking at the two and said, "Is she your companion?"

"Do you know, to clear the evil energy in the Central Plains and prevent the situation from worsening,"

"We gather evil energy in some places every year, creating evil spirits, sacrificing a few to avoid greater tragedies."

"Having operated in such environments for years, my sister too turned into an evil spirit right before my eyes, just like her."

"Now you might somewhat understand..."

In the next moment, the woman in black abruptly backed away several meters, her eyes tightly fixed on Lin Xing’s position.

A tremendous pressure explosively burst from Lin Xing’s body, warping everything within a kilometer and dense runes from the Six Secret Immortal Refining script continuously emerged on the surface.

The girl in black looked at Lin Xing’s head, but found his entire face enveloped in black evil energy, with only a pair of blood-red eyes visible through the layers of black mist.

Then, she saw Lin Xing step by step walking towards Jing Shiyu, his finger touching her head.

The girl in black blinked slightly: "Stopped?"

Then she saw Lin Xing slowly turn around, giving her a slight smile, "Thank you."

"Just now, when I saw her turning into an evil spirit, I was thinking of ways to save her, thinking of ways to save her..."

"I thought and thought, non-stop, suddenly feeling many memories returning, many things becoming clear."

"Do you understand?"

"It’s that feeling when all the worries suddenly disappear."

"That’s probably what they call being carefree."

As Lin Xing spoke, he suddenly burst into laughter, pointing at his own head, "I’ve never felt as good as I do now."

He looked at the girl in black and said, "To thank you."

"I’m going to use your skin to make a piece of clothing."
