Chapter 52 The storm is coming
"How do you want to talk?"
Lina was startled when she heard this and sneered.
"In fact, I have already said before that we can let you go!" Zi Xuan played with the bloody blade and said with a smile, "But I want to know your origins, and I or my sister will have a sparring match with you!"
"In that case, can you please answer a question for me first?" Lina looked at the two people standing in front and behind, and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
In response to her question, Zixuan and the others looked at her quietly but did not answer.
Now that they have all the advantages, how could they be stupid enough to reveal their past?
Seeing this, Lina's heart sank, knowing that it would be difficult to resolve the situation today.
She thought for a moment and continued, "You two have been chasing me relentlessly today, but I have never seen you before. Today is our first meeting! So why are you so angry with me? You should be able to explain it clearly. Besides, it is possible that the flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple was a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding? The strong bloody aura on you should have been obvious... Have you never killed anyone?" Xiao Jing asked.
Lina actually nodded in acknowledgement. She said in a serious tone, "I have killed people! But they were all men!"
"All men? Why did you kill all men?" Lina's answer was obviously unexpected, and Xiaojing asked in confusion.
"Of course I only kill men! Men are all bad!" Lina said gritting her teeth, "They only covet our women's bodies and beauty, and they are fickle and fickle!"
"Uh, do you hate men so much?"
"Isn't that the case?" Lina said fiercely, "You haven't been in contact with a man yet, you don't understand!" When she said the latter, Lina showed a look of disdain.
"What, you said I don't understand? I have never had contact with men? I..." Xiaojing wanted to say something, but suddenly she couldn't help but remember that she had also been deceived by a man, and she was stunned for a moment.
Zi Xuan felt emotional, it seems that the predecessor of this dead puppet must have died for love. The man betrayed her, and she had a deep resentment and a strong desire for revenge in her heart, so that she was used by the puppet master and had her current state.
"Your man must have died, and died miserably!" Zi Xuan sighed, "You again..."
"You're right! I executed that heartless man who abandoned his wife and children by slow slicing him to death on the night of my return to the dead. I used a knife to cut off his flesh piece by piece. I cut him 160 times in total before he died." Lina's sinister voice was creepy. "You still don't know - I ate his flesh piece by piece! It was so delicious, hahahaha... so satisfying! So satisfying!"
Xiaojing seemed to see the bloody scene in front of her eyes and felt like vomiting when she heard about it.
She coughed a few times and asked, "Since your husband is already dead, why bother killing others? Killing is always wrong."
"Killing is wrong? I killed a heartless man, what's wrong with that?" Lina glanced at her coldly, "Do you want his woman to fall into the same hopeless situation as me?"
"This——" Xiaojing was speechless for a moment.
"You have nothing to say, right?" Lina continued, snorting, "In fact, we cultivators don't have so many rules. This is a world full of intrigues. Who dares to say that they haven't killed a mortal? You? And you? Do you dare to admit that you haven't killed anyone?"
Lina pointed at Xiaojing, then at Zixuan, and asked back in a stern voice.
Xiao Jing and Zi Xuan were silent. They had killed people before, ordinary people. When they traveled in the mortal world of the Middle Thousand Worlds, they had eliminated many bullies who bullied men and women. These people were just ordinary mortals.
"You said I killed someone, so you came to kill me. Don't you think it's ridiculous?" Lina said fiercely, "I am the fish on the chopping board. I know you want to kill me, but you just want to find a high-sounding excuse. But you want to know about my master from me, that's impossible!... If you want to fight, I'll accompany you! But I won't accept two against one, if you have the guts, let's fight alone!"
Lina spoke eloquently and incessantly, which made Zixuan, who was standing beside her, more horrified.
She was shocked not because of her eloquence, but because this human puppet's intelligence was so incredible, it was almost the same as a normal person!
Zi Xuan became more and more curious. She wondered how the mysterious puppet master could recast the dead ghost into the body of a dead person, keeping the intelligence intact and being able to control it freely?
Zixuan looked at Xiaojing, then at Lina, and sneered, "Since you are not convinced, then I will give you a chance."
"what chance?"
"As long as you beat my sister, you can leave safely." "Beat her? Her?" Lina was stunned, and her finger pointed at Xiaojing. She was a little bit unbelievable, she always thought Zixuan would take action.
"Yes, it's her!" Zi Xuan nodded when she heard it.
"I'm enough to deal with you!" Xiao Jing raised the Xuanling Sword in the book and sneered.
"You're really not going to do it?" Lina ignored Xiaojing's provocation and said to Zixuan.
She didn't take Xiaojing's strength seriously at all.
If Zi Xuan had not intervened just now, the woman named Xiao Jing would have been completely defeated - either seriously injured or killed by her on the spot!
"I won't do anything, I'll just watch." Zi Xuan said again, "But let me be frank. If you try to run away... hehe, you know the result!"
Lina was upset by Zixuan's threat, but she still tried to calm down - her current situation did not look good, and there seemed to be no better choice than to agree to her.
So, after thinking it over again and again, she said to Zixuan, "Since you said so, I agree with what you just said! But how can I be sure that what you said is true? What if I win and you regret letting me go... If you swear a blood oath, I will believe you!"
A blood oath is a vow made by a cultivator with his own blood. The binding force of a blood oath is second only to the oath of heaven for cultivators. If a cultivator who makes a blood oath fails to abide by it, he will inevitably suffer a backlash, which may result in serious injury or death, or even affect his cultivation advancement. Therefore, after a cultivator makes an oath, few will break their promise.
"Blood oath?" Zi Xuan was stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help laughing, "I'm sorry, I really don't have this habit! As for my words, you can believe it or not!"
"You?" Lina was very annoyed and was about to lose her temper.
However, when she saw Zi Xuan's calm and composed appearance, she suddenly thought that turning hostile directly like this would be disadvantageous to her, so she had to force herself to swallow her anger.
"Okay, I'll trust you just once!"
"Haha, you are indeed a smart person!" Zi Xuan was not surprised at her decision.
Zixuan finished speaking, put her hands behind her back and walked to the side, then said to Xiaojing who was not far away, "Xiaojing, it's up to you!"
Then he thought for a moment and sent a message to Xiao Jing, "Don't have any psychological burden, just go all out!"
Xiao Jing felt warm in her heart and nodded, "Sister Zixuan, don't worry!"
She knew Zixuan was doing this for her own good. She had just lost the first game, and therefore was looked down upon by Lina, which had already aroused strong dissatisfaction and a desire to win!
She turned to Lina and said, "Use whatever tricks you have!"
Lina snorted coldly and looked at Xiaojing with some contempt, "I just hope that you...don't let me down too much and die by accident!"
Although Xiaojing knew that she was trying to provoke her, her eyes were so red with anger after hearing what she said.
Lina let out a sinister laugh, then stretched out her hand. Amidst the swirling black air, a long-handled spiritual weapon that was completely black appeared in her hand.
The appearance of this spiritual weapon is similar to a long-handled harpoon, with a longer spike in the middle and shorter spikes on both sides. Judging from its style, it is a trident.
Black smoke lingered on the halberd, and some strange patterns were faintly engraved on the long handle, emitting a faint green light.
Zi Xuan felt the strange energy fluctuations coming from the trident and her pupils shrank slightly. Xiao Jing's Xuanling twin swords were only mid-grade spiritual weapons, but this trident was actually a top-grade spiritual weapon!
She felt vaguely worried in her heart.
Swords and knives have no eyes, life and death are on the line! Is it the right decision to let Xiaojing fight this dead puppet alone?
Zi Xuan looked up and saw the waning moon in the sky gradually being covered by dark clouds. A cool breeze suddenly blew in the forest, and a mountain rain was about to come.
