Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Killing the Enemy (Five updates for subscription)

After astral projecting, Lin Xing’s physical body became his greatest vulnerability, almost powerless to resist in the face of enemies.

Especially in front of a martial arts expert like Zhang Tiande, he could have been disabled in an instant, utterly losing his mobility.

If it hadn’t been for Master Bai’s entanglement with the adversary and Jing Shiyu’s protection over his physical body, he would never have dared to astrally project and cast spells in such a battle.

But such a significant vulnerability was offset by the immensely potent combat abilities he gained after projection.

At this moment, whether it was his movement speed or spell casting speed, Lin Xing was simply too fast.

When Jing Yuwei sensed the change behind her, the Yellow Turban Warrior’s fist had already whipped up a terrifying tornado, completely engulfing her.

Having done all this, within Lin Xing’s spirit, ten Spirit Fire Talismans began to activate.

While astrally projecting and controlling spells, Lin Xing no longer needed to silently chant. Simply by thinking, the talisman would activate.

"Fire rise!"

So, while the first Yellow Turban Warrior hadn’t yet dissipated, the second, with flames soaring to the sky, punched towards Jing Yuwei again.

And Lin Xing didn’t even look at the results of the two strikes, his spirit already appearing on another side of Jing Yuwei.

Another ten Amulets were directly activated, targeting Jing Yuwei’s nearby position.

The huge Yellow Turban Warrior brought its palms together, and layers of barriers directly enshrouded her.

The mixing, erupting flames and tornado were suddenly like being trapped under a massive inverted glass bowl, heavily suppressed.

The fiery maelstrom was thus firmly confined in that small space, violently destroying everything within.

Ah!

Within the blinding firelight, only a slender figure could be vaguely seen, contorting and letting out earth-shattering screams.

At this moment, the combination of the Endless Fu Sea and astral spell control exploded in a synergy where the sum was much more than the parts.

But Lin Xing didn’t wait for the outcome and once more, his spirit flickered, instantly appearing before the Xingxiao Sect Envoy like a streak of lightning.

Seeing Jing Yuwei’s plight, the Xingxiao Sect Envoy’s complexion changed drastically, and his eyes filled with horror.

After all, compared to actual strength, he was far inferior to Jing Yuwei, and would never be in a position to command her without the backing of the Xingxiao Sect.

Even Jing Yuwei had been defeated in an instant, filling the Xingxiao Sect Envoy with extreme terror.

Seeing the blurred figure appear before him, he screamed and launched his spirit thoughts, attempting to grasp at the shadow.

But his reactions and speed were far too inferior to Lin Xing, who was in his spirit form.

The blurred figure dodged all around, eluding every one of the Xingxiao Sect Envoy’s spirit thought attacks.

At the same time, Lin Xing released one Spirit Fire Talisman after another, with intense flames bursting one after another above the Envoy’s head.

Once... twice... thrice...

With a boom, the charred-faced Xingxiao Sect Envoy lay on the ground.

Having taken down two magical powerhouses in quick succession, Lin Xing immediately sped back to his physical body.

At this moment, Zhang Tiande, ignoring his thigh being tightly held by the Puppet Girl, forcefully shifted his movement technique, slashing his Fangtian Huaji at Jing Shiyu again and again.

And Jing Shiyu stood unyielding before Lin Xing’s physical body, her Sword Jade Hairpin’s light now faint as starlight, yet still firmly blocking each of Zhang Tiande’s slashes.

The mental fatigue from overexertion in her sea of consciousness brought waves of dizziness to her head.

Accumulated internal injuries in her organs caused fresh blood to drip continuously from the corners of her mouth.

Bang!

During another block, the horrific force from the Fangtian Huaji transmitted through, pressing Jing Shiyu to her knees, making her feel like her internal organs were convulsing and her hands’ bones were broken.

Ever since Jing Shiyu began her journey, this was the first time she had ended up in such a sorry state, wounded over existing wounds to this extent.

But at this moment, Lin Xing had already drifted behind Zhang Tiande.

With a loud bang, Zhang Tiande, sensing murderous intent, violently swung a blow towards his own back.

Watching the Fangtian Huaji slice through the blurry figure, a slight shock crossed Zhang Tiande’s mind, "Damn it."

Ordinary, regular strikes were almost ineffective against the soul projection of Lin Xing in front of him—they merely caused his consciousness to tremble slightly, bringing on a faint sense of dizziness.

But Zhang Tiande, having not yet recovered from the force of his own strike, and with his new power not yet summoned, was also being dragged by the Puppet Girl’s leg, leaving him in a brief moment of rigid vulnerability.

This flaw was incredibly minute; with Zhang Tiande’s martial arts realm and physical condition, in a blink of an eye... his body could regain balance, with moving forward or retreating both within a single thought.

If it were Lin Xing who had not yet mastered soul projection, even spotting this flaw would not allow him enough time to exploit it.

But now, Lin Xing, having projected his soul, possessed the ability of spellcasting without incantation.

The instant Zhang Tiande’s body went rigid, Lin Xing did two things at once.

First, with a flick of his spiritual thought, he directly knocked the cat plush toy off the Puppet Girl.

Second, the ten Amulets in his soul were suddenly activated.

Layer upon layer of barriers enveloped Zhang Tiande’s body, trapping him firmly within.

Roar! Accompanied by a terrifying roar, Zhang Tiande began shattering the barriers one after another.

And as he continued to break through the barriers, Lin Xing released his last five Spirit Fire Talismans in one breath.

Blinding firelight burst within the barriers, and fierce flames instantly filled every inch of space around Zhang Tiande.

But this was still not the end; Lin Xing, in one breath, used up the remaining seven Amulets.

The invisible barriers that were about to shatter in the expanding flames were again enveloped layer by layer in an instant.

Of course, it didn’t stop there; the last four wind talismans within Lin Xing’s soul were also activated.

The fierce wind, like kindling being fed into a fire, filled the flaming barriers, creating an even more terrifying storm of fire.

As the flames finally died down, one could only see the charred figure of Zhang Tiande exhaling white smoke, slowly kneeling to the ground.

Lin Xing then took off his own upper garment and covered the Puppet Girl, who was also swept up in the explosion.

"Don’t worry, Master Bai, even if the clothes are torn, the puppet itself won’t burn."

"My body!" the cat plush toy rushed over in a hurry to inspect the Puppet Girl.

Meanwhile, Lin Xing felt waves of weakness coming from his soul.

Not only was his soul weakened after a series of soul projection battles, but the wind talismans, Spirit Fire Talismans, and Amulets he carried were all depleted.

Yet Lin Xing knew it wasn’t over; he dragged his weakened soul and drifted once more towards the Xingxiao Sect Envoy’s position.

Regardless of whether it was Jing Yuwei or Zhang Tiande, even if they had the antidote to the poison smoke, it would surely have been burned away in the continuous explosions.

Only the Xingxiao Sect Envoy, the weakest of them all, was purposefully targeted by Lin Xing, who attacked only his head.

Now, with his soul in a weakened state, Lin Xing felt increasingly the stronger the sense of weakness, the farther he moved away from his body.

After finally picking up the Xingxiao Sect Envoy’s bag, he immediately drifted back to his body, with his soul swiftly returning to it with a whoosh.

Once his soul was back in his body, Lin Xing felt the weakness that had overwhelmed him dissipate by a large degree, but his mind still felt waves of fatigue.

Although all the materials for battle had been expended, his spiritual thought and physical strength nearly drained, and his soul remained weakened,

Lin Xing still managed to crack a faint smile.

He had successfully avoided being killed or captured alive, and he did not break any laws or discipline; he had ultimately unraveled the desperate situation he faced.
