Chapter 182 I'm Not Afraid of Death
"Heh," Jiang Lin sneered, "Ji Xingyi, what did you just promise me?"
“This isn’t an adventure, it’s a way out.” Ji Xingyi looked at Jiang Lin seriously and said, “We have no better way.”
Jin Lushan's patrol team was equipped with bows and arrows, and with thousands of villagers from Qingxi Town, it would be too difficult for them to break out; the risk would be even greater.
Between the two, going out is the real adventure.
The two remained locked in a stalemate, and even Chen Jiangqiao and Wang Zhe dared not interrupt. Just then, Chi Xuan keenly noticed a strange smell: "Is there something smelling?"
Jingkang walked out of the underground palace with a grim face, but his expression changed drastically when he returned: "It's kerosene!"
Jin Lushan is a vengeful man. Wang Zhe and Chen Jiangqiao set fire to the whole town, and this time he's going to retaliate in kind!
Ji Xingyi's expression tightened. Time was running out. He turned around to negotiate with the BOSS. After hearing that Ji Xingyi had voluntarily accepted the inheritance, Yingniang threw out the half-dead Su Yuning.
"You all go out first." Ji Xingyi gestured to Jingkang with his eyes to take Su Yuning away.
Wang Zhe wanted to stay because he was afraid the two would argue, but Chen Jiangqiao eventually pulled him away.
Seeing this familiar scene, Jiang Lin was so angry that her fingertips trembled: "You lied to me!"
We clearly agreed that we wouldn't take risks for these people, and we clearly agreed that we would listen to him, but in the end, this is still the outcome.
"Linlin," Ji Xingyi said seriously, "You don't want me to take risks, and I don't want you to take risks either. You can't break the rules; this is the best option."
"I need you to risk your life to save me?" Powerful spiritual energy instantly overflowed from Jiang Lin's body, creating a powerful shockwave in the underground palace.
His purple eyes reappeared, and his words were sharper than ever before: "You mere human, something that can be crushed with a single finger, what right do you have to take this risk?"
[System Warning: Do not use excessive power!]
"Ji Xingyi, can you please stop being so arrogant!"
"Did you know that your soul broke down three years ago?"
[System Warning: Do not use excessive power!]
Jiang Lin's deep purple eyes were almost black: "You simply cannot accept the inheritance!"
"You're not even as good as Su Yuning!"
[System Warning: Do not use excessive power!]
"Linlin!" Ji Xing was shocked. The aura around the young man was as powerful as a tornado. He took several steps back before he could stand up.
Ignoring the system warning, Jiang Lin's mental tentacles spread wildly out of the underground palace.
[System notification: Three warnings ignored, immediate suppression!]
Suppression?
Jiang Lin raised his eyes, his gaze passing through the walls of the underground palace to the illusory sky, a cold smile playing on his lips.
Is he afraid of death?
As Jiang Lin unleashed his berserk power, Death Soul Island also took countermeasures.
A strange gray curse suddenly appeared from the zenith of this instance's timeline, spreading downwards at an extremely rapid speed. Wherever it reached, everything lost its color, and all life froze as if a movie had been paused.
The villagers of Qingxi Town, Jin Lushan, Chen Jiangqiao above the underground palace, Wang Zhe, Chi Xuan, Jing Kang, Su Yuning, and even the dungeon boss below the underground palace—all of them, all of life, were shrouded in gray, their limbs, consciousness, and even their souls were all imprisoned there!
Only Ji Xingyi, who was enveloped by Jiang Lin's purple spiritual power, was spared!
However, the gray curse power of Dead Soul Island occupied most of the world, suppressing the purple power like a five-fingered mountain.
The dungeon world is isolated from the human world, so Jiang Lin cannot unleash his full power, and he is ultimately at a disadvantage on the territory of Dead Soul Island.
The immense force pressed down on Jiang Lin's body, and with a thud, Jiang Lin coughed up black blood and knelt on the ground.
Ji Xingyi trembled all over; the power of Jiang Lin and the Island of Dead Souls was far beyond what an ordinary human like him could withstand. With a low growl, he endured the pain of his soul shattering and rushed towards Jiang Lin in the eye of the storm, finally grabbing the young man before his strength was exhausted.
Jiang Lin looked up, her remaining mental energy being constantly compressed, only enough to protect the man beside her.
"Linlin." Ji Xing carefully cupped the young man's face, as copious amounts of black blood flowed continuously from Jiang Lin's mouth, eyes, and nose.
"I'm not afraid of death." Jiang Lin spat out a mouthful of blood with each word he spoke.
I'm afraid of losing you.
Ji Xingyi frantically wiped the black blood from the young man's face, turned around and shouted at the mysterious gray power enveloping the two of them, "What do you want me to do? Let him go!"
The gray forces that moved before Ji Xingyi formed two words—"inheritance".
"Okay! I promise you!" Ji Xingyi said anxiously as he watched Jiang Lin grow weaker and weaker.
"No!" Jiang Lin grabbed Ji Xingyi's arm, frantically wiping the black blood from his mouth and nose with the back of his hand: "You'll die!"
How could such a weak soul withstand the powerful forces of another world?
Jiang Lin was telling the truth. If Su Yuning is no good, Ji Xingyi will die too!
"It's targeting me. It changed the rules so that I could inherit the power of the Blood River. Maybe it's not as bad as you think." Ji Xingyi gently stroked Jiang Lin's cheek.
Jiang Lin held onto Ji Xingyi tightly, not allowing the man to leave.
"Linlin, next Wednesday is your birthday. What do you want?" Ji Xingyi smiled slightly.
They entered the instance on November 15th, and Jiang Lin's birthday is November 22nd.
Black blood, as dark as ink, flowed from Jiang Lin's eyes as he answered in a hoarse voice, "I don't want anything! I only want you!"
"Okay, wait for me." Ji Xing smiled and kissed the corner of the young man's mouth.
As soon as he finished speaking, Death Soul Island released its control over the BOSS, and a large number of tentacles and vines swarmed out of the blood pool and swept away Ji Xingyi.
Jiang Lin was forcibly pressed to the ground, leaving several bloody marks on the ground with his fingertips.
Dead Soul Island, First Temple.
The mysterious man looked at the scene in the sphere of light, and a soft laugh came from within his black robe: "That's a good boy."
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the starry sky beside the lone boat, and a woman's jade-like foot stepped out from the crack, instantly unleashing scorching magical power into the space of the First Temple!
The woman had a graceful figure, wore a fiery red robe, and was not made up, yet she was still as radiant as fire.
She arrived barefoot, her eyes alluring, and sat down beside the mysterious man in black robes. The two seemed quite familiar with each other; the woman placed her elbow on the shoulder of the man in black robes, her fingertips slipping inside the robes to lift his chin.
"Moon Goddess, you were looking for me?"
The woman smiled seductively, leaning closer to the black robe as she spoke.
The Moon Goddess pushed away the woman's delicate hand with her index finger: "Blazing Maiden, do you still remember our promise?"
The woman's passion suddenly cooled, and her eyes filled with sorrow: "So that's how it is. It seems you don't miss me."
The Moon Goddess remained unmoved: "You intend to break your promise?"
"How could I, a dignified Void Realm Throne Ghost God, break my promise!" The stunningly beautiful woman actually looked aggrieved in front of the black-robed man.
