Chapter 342: Chapter 273: Dialogue (Thanks to the alliance leader reward from ’Tchaikovsky Tarkovich’)

The flashing lights kept going off incessantly even as Lin Xing spoke, with multiple cameras incessantly snapping photos of him and Bai Yiyi.

Meanwhile, Lin Xing’s speech spread rapidly online with these interviews.

"Innocent people are dying, and I had the chance to save them."

Lin Xing sighed in front of the camera, his face consumed with sorrow, as he still appeared to be immersed in grief.

"Here, I want to say to Xingxiao... If he would have been willing to tell me about the disasters he foresaw earlier, I would have done everything in my power to stop this from happening."

Saying this, Lin Xing took a deep breath on camera, "I’m sorry, I need some time alone."

The next moment, Lin Xing’s figure flashed, and with a gust of wind at the scene, he had already disappeared into the crowd.

Watching this scene on the camera, Jing Shiyu slightly smiled as she browsed through the interview video while also looking at the public’s feedback.

"Unexpectedly, although this mission failed and so many people died, Lin Xing’s fan count has actually increased."

"On the other hand, Xingxiao has been put on the hot seat."

Jing Shiyu could already see many netizens demanding that Xingxiao share his foresight results.

"This has somewhat shared the burden of pressure on Lin Xing, and the situation has ironically improved."

"Although this woman from the Evil Sect killed quite a few people, she also unintentionally helped us a bit."

However, thinking of Lin Xing’s sorrowful demeanor in front of the camera, Jing Shiyu thought to herself, "But this mission failure must not be easy on Lin Xing’s heart. I wonder if there’s any way to comfort him..."

...

Meanwhile, at the rooftop of a building in New Ke City.

Lin Xing stood at the edge of the rooftop, his cold eyes continuously scanning the bustling streets below.

Thumb-sized Bai Yiyi crawled out from his collar and spoke, "Lin Xing, what should we do next? God knows where that woman has fled."

Having just absorbed memories from a batch of puppets had given Bai Yiyi a significant advantage, and at this moment, she was keen on finding the black-clothed woman’s whereabouts to absorb her memories.

Lin Xing didn’t respond to her but instead turned his head to look towards a shadowy area, "Aren’t you coming out yet?"

A light chuckle came from the shadows, and soon, the Gu She Fairy, dressed in a white gossamer gown and resembling a young girl, slowly floated out.

She crossed her arms and leaned back in mid-air, her delicate bare feet clearly exposed to the air.

The Gu She Fairy eyed Lin Xing, and with a mental projection onto his body wrote, "I just saw, oh."

She floated slowly towards Lin Xing and extended her fair palm, gently caressing his chest, "Those things you did."

Lin Xing immediately released his spiritual senses, scanning in all directions. After confirming there were no others around, he spoke, "I..."

But the next moment, considering the various recording and video devices, he didn’t speak aloud but instead used mental projection on her forehead writing, "I don’t understand what you are talking about."

The Gu She Fairy measured Lin Xing up and down, her slender fingers marked with a hint of spiritual power, gently inscribing line after line on his chest:

"The puppets created by the Evil Sect stem from a traitor of my Spirit Treasure Sect, modified from our sect’s substitutes. I retrieved some substitute’s memories only to find the location of that building but discovered you arrived there before me."

Lin Xing’s spiritual senses had just scanned the Gu She Fairy’s forehead and were about to write.

However, Gu She Fairy patted the inside of her thigh, her mouth seeming to carry a moist breath as she spoke, "You wouldn’t want the matter of the building to be known by others, would you?"

Lin Xing’s gaze sharpened, as he scanned with his spiritual sense over her leg, "My spiritual sense didn’t see you."

Gu She Fairy smiled lightly, her spiritual sense sweeping over his abdomen, "Because my spiritual range is bigger than yours, I can observe you, but you can’t observe me."

Accompanying the light laughter of the Gu She Fairy, her petite body slowly floated behind Lin Xing, whispering by his ear, "I’ll come see you tomorrow night, join me for dinner..."

As she spoke, Gu She Fairy reached out towards Lin Xing’s right hand.

But in the next instant, she felt an iron-like strong hand firmly grasping her wrist.

Gu She Fairy slightly furrowed her brow, "You..."

Suddenly, Lin Xing spun around, his icy gaze sweeping over her body, the intense murderous intent seemingly freezing her consciousness.

At the same moment, Lin Xing grabbed her neck, "Then you were at least five hundred meters away from me at that time, so you just observed with spiritual sense, without video? No recording?"

An immensely dark, profound aura burst forth from Lin Xing, causing a faint wave of anxiety to rise in Gu She Fairy’s heart.

Gu She Fairy initially thought Lin Xing was merely second-tier, with her cultivation level and realm enough to easily manipulate him, not having much guard in her heart.

But the power and pressure Lin Xing suddenly unleashed far exceeded her expectations.

She hadn’t expected her momentary negligence to have given him the upper hand.

Especially as Lin Xing’s arm touched her clothes, she felt as if her clothes had come alive, akin to countless strong hands firmly squeezing her entire body.

Even parts of her clothes seemed to dissolve, attempting to seep in through every pore on her body like water.

For a moment, Gu She Fairy’s cheeks flushed slightly; she pursed her lips and said with a slight tremble, "Have you stepped into the third inheritance?"

Lin Xing, clutching Gu She Fairy’s neck, pressed her petite body against the wall and said coldly, "Don’t let me hear you say what you just said, okay?"

As Lin Xing warned her, an airflow sparkling with runes gushed from his mouth, directly entering Gu She Fairy’s mouth.

Gu She Fairy felt the scorching breath crawling slowly into her body, as if it could rip her body apart from the inside at any moment.

She abruptly closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling.

"Lin Xing has refined the airflow? Such control..."

Gu She Fairy gritted her teeth slightly, her cheeks flushed as she nodded slightly.

Lin Xing released his hand and straightened Gu She Fairy’s clothes, saying slowly, "You don’t need to be too nervous."

He patted the dust off her clothes and said lightly, "I generally don’t break the law, just keep your mouth shut, okay?"

Feeling Lin Xing’s icy gaze, Gu She Fairy pursed her lips and did not speak, only nodding again like a fragile schoolgirl.

As the runes within Gu She Fairy completely dissipated, Lin Xing turned and left.

Watching his figure disappear into the night, Gu She Fairy staggered and finally sat down at the base of the wall.

Her legs trembled a few times as if cramping, and her eyes, clear as springs, seemed about to spill tears.

She bit her lip and cursed, "This jerk!"

...

After warning Gu She Fairy, Lin Xing leaped across the building, heading toward another direction of the city.

Bai Yiyi then emerged from his collar and asked, "Aren’t you going to silence that woman?"

Lin Xing shook his head, "A battle of life and death would cause too much commotion."

"Besides, seeing how Gu She Fairy just trembled all over from fear, almost peeing herself, it shows she’s not very brave. She probably won’t talk carelessly."

"Moreover, talking carelessly is useless, without video or recording, who would believe her?"

Bai Yiyi then asked, "What’s next? Where do we find people?"

Lin Xing took out his phone and said, "At times like this, battles are erupting all over the city; maybe we can find some information online."

Just then, a loud boom came from afar, and Lin Xing hurriedly sped toward the source of the sound.

On the way, Lin Xing noticed more and more experts converging in the direction of the booming noise.

He even spotted formidable figures like Bai Mei and the Divine Dragon Gang Leader.

In everyone’s sight, a woman stood in the air, her body enveloped in black qi, burning fiercely like flames.

"Xingxiao! Do you really think you are the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, that everyone in the world must listen to you?"

Then a sword qi that seemed to tear the heavens and earth apart cleaved through the skies, slashing toward the earth.

As it seemed that several buildings would be hit by the sword qi, numerous voices suddenly cried out in unison from the atmosphere.

"Move the mountain! Move the mountain!"

The originally flat ground undulated as if a force capable of moving mountains and seas erupted from within.

The closely packed buildings rumbled, and like toys, they were squeezed out, clearing a large area.

In the middle of the vacant land, a man in a starry Daoist robe looked up at the sky, pointing at the sword qi carrying the might of slicing heavens.

With a booming sound, the impact of their collision whipped up like a hurricane, ravaging the streets for several kilometers around.

Above the battlefield, the whole sky, amid their clash, was torn open, forming a giant void.

The black-clad girl had already disappeared without a trace.

Only Xingxiao stood alone on the battlefield, looking over the devastated area with a soft sigh.

From a distance, Bai Mei, Great Bright Buddha, Fairy Yunxiao, and other powerhouses from Mirror World all watched the scene with grave expressions, all feeling amazed by the strength demonstrated by both sides, especially Xingxiao in this battle.

The Divine Dragon Gang Leader muttered to himself, "Unrivaled in the world, this Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts truly is...Unrivaled in the world, I fear even a chance to assassinate him would likely not succeed."

Bai Mei, watching Xingxiao, felt a surge of envy, a strong urge to destroy him, yet suppressed it forcefully, "Xingxiao’s momentum is already established; it seems he is now uncontrollable."

Great Bright Buddha inwardly sighed, "This Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts is indeed formidable. Bearing two major inheritances, Xingxiao’s gap with others will only grow wider as he advances in realm..."

Several onlookers at the scene were all hectically capturing videos on their phones toward the direction of the battlefield.

Soon after Xingxiao drove back the black-clad woman, the news of New Ke City’s crisis passing safely spread online, triggering waves of cheers among the citizens.

And the entire process of Xingxiao and the black-clad woman’s confrontation was divided into several fragments of videos, spreading wildly online, causing countless people to watch the battles in the videos and experience for the first time that supernatural powers could be so formidable.

Combined with previous foreseen events, discussions about Xingxiao burst forth endlessly, and his popularity soon surpassed Lin Xing’s trend.
