Lin Chen parked the car by the roadside of the abandoned factory and then got out of the car.

His gaze swept inside the factory, which seemed to have been deserted for a long time; weeds had grown over a meter tall, and occasional cawing of crows added a desolate feeling to the atmosphere.

Lin Chen walked through the decrepit gate towards the interior of the factory when suddenly a light rain began to fall from the sky.

The surroundings were eerily quiet; only Lin Chen's footsteps and the gentle patter of rain could be heard.

Lin Chen's brow slightly furrowed before he abruptly stopped, his eyes fixed intently ahead, "No need to hide anymore, come out!"

"Tsk tsk, to think you've discovered me so quickly, you really are quite skilled," a soft voice followed, and a woman in red, holding a floral umbrella, slowly emerged from the drizzle.

Lin Chen's gaze slightly hardened; this woman, with a mischievous smile on her lips, was quite attractive and emitted a charm that could drive men wild.

However, rather than her enchanting appeal, Lin Chen felt a much stronger sense of danger. His gaze turned cold, "Was it you who abducted Xiaodi, and did you just slap her too?"

"Yes, haha, are you angry now? Sister loves seeing you angry. By the way, my name is A-li, but they also call me Fox," the woman said with a light laugh, tauntingly watching Lin Chen.

"Fox? Lin Chen gave a faint smile, "So that means I have already entered your Illusion Array, right?" Lin Chen noted, feeling the chill of the raindrops on his skin.

A-li's face changed slightly, "How did you know?"

Lin Chen smiled, "Just now, the sky was clear, but as soon as I entered the factory, it began to rain, and the rain started too quickly. Besides, since you are a sly fox, you probably have no other abilities except to bewilder people's minds."

Foxes are said to be the most spiritual animals. Many folk tales describe how foxes charm people's minds, and there are even some legends about fox spirits.

A-li's abilities were similar to those of a fox, trapping enemies within her Illusion Array and drawing them into her world.

Although A-li's strength was not strong, because Lin Chen had fallen into her Illusion Array, his power was greatly reduced, while A-li's strength correspondingly became stronger.

"Didn't expect you to be so clever to guess my ability. Now you are trapped in my Illusion Array, do you still intend to resist?" A-li sneered softly.

"Haha, I remember an old saying, foxes and weasels are not terrifying; if you scare them away, their tricks are useless."

The cold light flickered in Lin Chen's eyes as his Spiritual Power quietly activated. Even though he was caught in A-li's Illusion Array, Lin Chen was not planning to sit idly by.

"Oh, if you don't listen to sister, sister will get angry!"

A-li giggled, waved her sleeve, and suddenly, the fine rain transformed into sharp silver needles sweeping toward Lin Chen.

"Fire Shield!"

With a wave of his hand, a shield woven from purple fire appeared in front of Lin Chen.

"Bang bang bang!"

The black raindrops heavily hit Lin Chen's fire shield, which suddenly showed several cracks.

"Damn it! I didn't expect the strength to decrease so drastically within the Illusion Array."

"This won't do; I must find a way." Seeing the cracks on the fire shield, Lin Chen's expression turned serious.

In the Illusion Array, as their powers offset each other, Lin Chen had fallen into a disadvantage, so he had to find the Array's Eye to break the Illusion Array and have a chance to defeat the fox.

Lin Chen activated his Tianyan Divine Eyes, everything within the Illusion Array falling within his sight.

"Where exactly is the Array's Eye?" Lin Chen's eyes suddenly fixed on the bracelet on A-li's wrist that flickered with spiritual light, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Meanwhile, the light shield above Lin Chen's head shattered suddenly, and in that instant, flames surged in the palm of Lin Chen's hand, shooting straight towards Ali like an arrow leaving the bowstring.

"Haha, to dare attack actively within my illusion array, is simply seeking death," Ali smirked coldly, her sharp umbrella tip thrusting towards Lin Chen's chest.

"Dragon Claw Hand!"

A sly smile crossed Lin Chen's face as he sidestepped the umbrella tip, his hands unexpectedly reaching towards Ali's chest.

Ali's face changed abruptly, this pervert, daring to assault her chest right from the start.

She just sidestepped, aiming to dodge, but Lin Chen flipped his wrist and suddenly grabbed hers.

"Little lady, nice bracelet you have there!" Lin Chen said with a cold laugh.

"Damn!" Ali exclaimed in shock, her pupils sharply contracting. Her jade bracelet had always been hidden under her sleeve and she hadn't expected Lin Chen to discover it just as they engaged.

It turned out his intention to grab her chest was a feint; he was actually aiming to break the formation connected to her jade bracelet.

Ali tried to pull her wrist back, but Lin Chen's grip was like a pair of iron tongs, firmly clamping her wrist.

"Break it!"

Purple flames rolled in Lin Chen's hand, and the jade bracelet on Ali's wrist shattered violently.

With the formation's key point broken, the channel connecting Ali's internal qi and the formation was also cut off instantaneously.

Beads of rain around them vanished immediately, the moon sitting high above adorned with scattered stars—clearly, Lin Chen had disrupted the illusion array.

Looking at the shattered bracelet on the ground, Ali's face suddenly turned ugly, "You bastard, you actually destroyed my magic artifact!"

This artifact was the foundation of Ali's ability to perform illusion techniques; with the artifact destroyed, she could no longer cast the illusion array.

Without the boost from the illusion array, she was nothing in front of Lin Chen.

A cold smile played upon Lin Chen's lips, "Destroying your artifact is nothing; you slapped Xiaodi across the face just now, so I will return the favor tenfold."

No sooner had he spoken than Lin Chen appeared in front of Ali. Ali tried to dodge, but in terms of both power and speed, she was no match for Lin Chen in the real world.

"Smack! Smack! Smack!"

Loud slaps echoed in the factory, Lin Chen showing no mercy in his retribution. Xiaodi was his Achilles heel, and since Ali had provoked him, despite her beauty, Lin Chen had no inclination to show any mercy.

"Smack!"

With another slap, Ali's body flew into the air and crashed heavily onto the ground, knocking her unconscious.

The alluring face that once captivated hearts was almost turned into a swollen mess by Lin Chen's slaps, and at this moment footsteps approached from behind Lin Chen.

"Lin Chen, isn't it a bit excessive to hit a woman so hard?" Wu Feng, holding Xiaodi by one hand, slowly approached from not far away.

Gazing at the approaching figure, a cold light appeared in Lin Chen's eyes, "If you want to fight, then fight; bullying a girl, weren't you, the Spirit King, even more excessive?"

Wu Feng smiled faintly, releasing Xiaodi, "I only used her as bait and never intended to hurt her. I admit that you are strong, and if you hadn't killed my brother, we might even have become friends. However, today only one of us can leave here."

A cold glint surged in Wu Feng's eyes, a dense aura of murder instantly engulfing Lin Chen!
