CHAPTER 137: CHAPTER 136: TIANYI TOURNAMENT (PART 28)

Chu Yunyi’s hands rapidly shifted through different seals, and the Trapping Array suddenly vanished. Lin Yin’s punch missed, causing him to lose his balance and stumble forward.

Chu Yunyi shouted loudly, "Now, attack!"

Four figures simultaneously charged at Lin Yin, pressing his face firmly into the ground. Song Shurun placed his palm on the back of Lin Yin’s head, and the Primordial Spirit spun wildly, beginning the purification.

Lin Yin struggled desperately, letting out a beast-like roar, but his limbs were pinned down savagely. Pei Nan even sprawled his entire body over Lin Yin’s legs, leaving him no room to move.

The violent turmoil in his heart couldn’t be eased, and Lin Yin frantically mobilized the Primordial Spirit even more.

At this moment, Lin Yin was like a black hole capable of absorbing Chaotic Power, with a violent and chaotic aura within his body that was difficult to control.

The moment the purification technique was deployed, Song Shurun felt the vast and violent Chaotic Power within Lin Yin, which was definitely beyond the capacity a healer of his level could handle.

But under the current circumstances, he was the only one available. Song Shurun could only grit his teeth and persist. Not even ten breaths in, his face turned ashen, and sweat covered his forehead.

"Damn! The Chaotic Power inside him is too abundant and chaotic; I can’t hold on for much longer!"

Chu Yunyi didn’t need Song Shurun to say it; he already sensed the surrounding Chaotic Power converging into Lin Yin’s body.

Perhaps due to Lin Yin’s Dark Elemental Spirit having devour attributes, his berserk speed and danger surpassed anyone Chu Yunyi had ever seen.

At this moment, Lin Yin was exuding a terrifying and repulsive aura. Those in physical contact with him felt their Elemental Power rapidly depleting.

Soon, Chou Xiaoyuan and Pei Nan felt completely drained, finding it harder to suppress Lin Yin.

"He’s... he’s absorbing our Primordial Spirit!"

"Aaaaahhhhh——!"

Lin Yin’s muscles swelled once more, and with a raised hand, he flung away Chou Xiaoyuan, who was holding down his left arm. His legs then kicked Pei Nan off, and a black ball filled with Decaying Power shot towards Chou Xiaoyuan’s face.

Chu Yunyi’s heart skipped a beat. His hands formed seals, and with his left hand, he cast the Wind Boundary Binding Lock to firmly pin Lin Yin to the ground. The right hand transformed the Sky Wind Annihilation Array to shatter the black ball, saving Chou Xiaoyuan. Meanwhile, Song Shurun was thrown off the moment Lin Yin broke free from the bind.

"Aaaaahhhhh——!"

Another Nether Demon Six Paths Cannon was spat from Lin Yin’s mouth, corroding the Wind Boundary Binding Lock open, and he lunged toward the sitting Song Shurun.

Having exhausted a vast amount of Primordial Spirit, Song Shurun was powerless. As he watched the monster-like Lin Yin pouncing towards him, he could do nothing but close his eyes in despair.

——————

After getting rid of Chu Yunyi, Li Xing quickly found where they were hiding, thanks to the master-servant bond with Hui Hui.

Seeing Li Xing, the Big-mouth Flower was sincerely jubilant.

"Master! You finally came! I missed you so much!"

"How long has it been for you to miss me already?"

The Big-mouth Flower pointed at Cui Tianxiao and the others, accusingly:

"Master, you don’t know how tough it has been for me! They can’t hear me speak, nor understand my sign language — it’s so frustrating! They’re supposed to be on the same team as you, yet they have no basic knowledge of Spirit Plants! A whole patch of Shadow Moon Nether Moss right under their noses, and they didn’t see it. I’m speechless!"

The Big-mouth Flower truly felt fortunate to have met Li Xing, who could communicate, rather than a fool like Cui Tianxiao, when it was weak. Otherwise, its beauty might have taken ages to recover.

Seeing Li Xing, Ye Qingting and the others wiped the slime off their faces. Their three faces hovered in mid-air, looking rather eerie.

"Ah Xing, are you alright?" Ye Qingting asked.

Li Xing shook her head. "I’m fine."

Cui Tianxiao peered behind Li Xing and asked, "Did you shake off Chu Yunyi?"

"Yeah. He should be going after the Desert Boat Team and the Tu Ling Team."

"Ah Xing, you actually tricked the Chu God—I’m really impressed!"

Ye Qingting heaved a sigh of relief and said, "The Desert Boat Team and the Tu Ling Team are far from here, so it looks like Captain Chu won’t have the energy or time to hassle us anymore."

Cui Tianxiao nodded. "Exactly! But just to be safe, let’s hide here until the competition ends!"

The three floating faces nodded in unison. While it sounded a bit cowardly, hiding was indeed the safest option.

Suddenly, Li Xing turned to look northwest, her expression becoming grave.

Noticing Li Xing’s odd behavior, Qi Ming’s first reaction was that Chu Yunyi was chasing them. He quickly sent out his spiritual power to check, finding no sign of people, but sensing chaotic Elemental Power waves in the distance.

One of these Elemental Powers had a sense of death and decay, likely belonging to Lin Yin’s Dark Elemental Spirit.

"Sister Xing, could it be the Tu Ling Team clashing with Chu Yunyi?"

The Chaos Qi in this forest was quickly converging in that direction; such a phenomenon wouldn’t occur in a regular fight.

"Something’s wrong; they’re in danger. I’m going to check it out!"

Ye Qingting hurriedly stopped her, advising, "Ah Xing, don’t be impulsive! There are Shadow Guards in the competition area to handle any accidents; it wouldn’t be appropriate for us to interfere."

Li Xing’s expression was solemn. "This is not a regular accident. Someone’s Primordial Spirit is going berserk! The Shadow Guards are spread across the competition area and might not get there in time. Besides, even if they do arrive, without purification techniques, it’s pointless."

Shadow Guard duty was hazardous work, and Healing Masters would certainly not be assigned, so Li Xing was confident they couldn’t help.

Upon hearing about a Primordial Spirit berserk, everyone grew uneasy, expressing that they wanted to go with Li Xing, but she stopped them.

"Going won’t help; if Chu Yunyi snatches back the Competition Token, all our efforts will be wasted. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself. You stay here and wait for the competition to end."

With that, Li Xing took out the Comet 5000. With a roar, she vanished into the sky.

The three looked at each other, all wondering the same thing: Is using a Flying Device allowed in the competition?

Just as Song Shurun closed his eyes to await death, the roaring sound of an engine filled the air, followed by a thud, as something was knocked away.

Song Shurun opened his eyes to see someone standing with their back to him, sunlight outlining them in golden hues, looking as if a celestial had descended.

Li Xing had just performed a Divine Dragon Tail, ramming Lin Yin away with the Flying Device. She quickly stood before Song Shurun, assessing the battle situation.

Except for Chu Yunyi, who seemed unaffected, the Primordial Spirit reserves of the others were depleted. It was unclear if it was due to battle or Lin Yin’s devouring.

Judging by Lin Yin’s state, though his mind was muddled, his physical prowess and Primordial Spirit were at their peak. Most likely, he had absorbed the Elemental Power of Chou Xiaoyuan and others, boosting his strength.

Li Xing squinted; the Dark Elemental Spirit was indeed bizarre and troublesome.

Li Xing’s sudden arrival made the Tu Ling Team tense, unsure if she’d come to loot them or offer help.

Chu Yunyi shielded the incapacitated Chou Xiaoyuan and Pei Nan, while talismans surged, encircling Lin Yin in the array once more.

Considering Lin Yin’s growth in strength, Chu Yunyi opted for the more stable yet dangerous Sky Wind Annihilation Array this time.

If Lin Yin had lost even his instinctual sense of danger and recklessly charged at the Great Array, the result would be serious injury or even death.

But Lin Yin, this time, didn’t act impulsively and stood inside the Great Array, glaring balefully at Li Xing.

"Hey there folks! Need some help? Just five Competition Tokens, and you can have me, an Earth Rank Great Healer, step in. Isn’t that a bargain?"

Song Shurun, initially filled with gratitude because Li Xing saved him, heard her words, and his fantasy of the damsel saving the hero shattered.

Can there be more kindness and less calculation between people?
