Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 88 You Should Die
One person died, and the remaining nine people all coughed up blood, staring in disbelief at Lin Le, who had "escaped" from the encirclement.

Looking at the bewildered remaining nine people, Lin Le had no interest in explaining to them.

It's fine to just observe it; to actually confront it directly would be foolish.

So when Lin Le saw the ten people about to form a battle formation, he had already used a disorientation spell to escape; what they were surrounding was just an illusion.

“Nine,” Lin Le said softly.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then a loud bang was heard, and another person exploded into a bloody mist, followed by a voice like a vengeful ghost whispering in their ears:
"Eight."

"seven."

boom!
"six."

boom!
"five."……

With each low rumble, another person was blasted to dust by Lin Le's punch.

The remaining people were so terrified that they fled in all directions like madmen.

But the low hum continued, and it grew faster and faster.

"Four...three...two...one...zero".

Lin Le smashed the last constable with a single palm strike, then shook his hand and picked up a piece of iron from the ground.

The iron sheet was actually quite tough, and it wasn't damaged by Lin Le's attack.

Lin Le looked thoughtfully at the patterns on the iron sheet, then reached out, and Hun Tian Ling immediately handed him the collected iron sheet.

Lin Le put them together, nodded slightly, and confirmed that it was indeed an array.

'But why does it look so much like a meridian chart?'

As Lin Le looked at the patterns on the iron sheet, an idea began to form in his mind.

After putting away the iron sheet, Lin Le wandered around the county magistrate's office again. When he found that Xiang Lingchen was not there, he frowned and wondered if Xiang had gone to hide in his own backyard.

Lin Le originally planned to kill Ling Chen first, then Wei Zhenshan, but unexpectedly, the two of them got stuck together.

There was no other way but to carry out another stealth assassination.

Not long after, a black cat swaggered into the Xiang family compound.

However, not long after they left, a bright light swept over them.

The intense light shining on him made Lin Le's flesh itch, giving him an urge to exit the transformed state.

However, Lin Le quickly suppressed this impulse.

'Is it specifically designed for transformation or illusion magic?' Lin Le glanced at the direction from which the bright light was coming from.

Unfortunately, his transformation technique had reached the level of transformation magic, and ordinary methods of countering it were ineffective.

Wandering around the compound, Lin Le used his sense of smell to find the information he wanted.

Leaping over the wall, Lin Le saw Wei Zhenshan playing chess with Liu Yonghuai.

Wei Zhenshan was quite perceptive and sensed that someone was watching him. He immediately looked in the direction he felt and saw a black cat standing on the wall.

The black cat licked its paws, looking completely harmless.

Just then, another burst of bright light shone from above. Seeing that the black cat hadn't changed, Wei Zhenshan turned his head away with relief, then shook his head and sighed, "Hey, I'm now as scared as a frightened bird by your friend's son."

Liu Yonghuai glanced at the black cat that was slowly walking over and said calmly, "This is the retribution you deserve, Magistrate Wei."

"Retribution, if only such a thing existed in this world." Wei Zhenshan sighed. "Speaking of which, why were you caught so quickly the other day? It was almost as if we were about to arrest you, and you just delivered yourself to our doorstep?"

"It's nothing. I just wanted to work with my colleagues to rescue Magistrate Wei." Liu Yonghuai shook his head. "I just didn't expect to be so unlucky. I was talking to one of them when he turned around and reported me. That's how you guys got me arrested."

Wei Zhenshan paused, his hand still holding the chess piece: "You actually thought of saving me?"

“Saving you is also saving myself,” Liu Yonghuai said. “Without you to keep me in check, who knows what the county magistrate will do? I don’t want to be sent to be food.”

"I see." Wei Zhenshan nodded and sighed, "But I appreciate your kindness in having this intention."

“No need for that.” Liu Yonghuai placed the last white stone. “I win, Magistrate Wei.” “Hehe, it’s not certain who wins yet, Registrar Liu. Off-board tactics are also part of Go.” Wei Zhenshan chuckled, about to flick away a few white stones, when he saw his hand being pressed down by another hand.

"Playing the rogue will get your hand chopped off, Magistrate Wei," a playful voice rang out from the side.

Wei Zhenshan's pupils contracted, and he immediately circulated his true qi in an attempt to shake off the hand.

But the hand was much stronger than he had imagined, strong enough to crush his bones.

With a sharp crack, blood splattered onto the chessboard, followed by a pig-like scream echoing through the courtyard.

"Ahhh!"

Wei Zhenshan wailed, staring at Lin Le in terror, gasping for breath, "How...how did you get in?"

"Go ask the dead," Lin Le said indifferently.

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw a punch, accompanied by golden and red light.

boom!
A golden light appeared on Wei Zhenshan's chest, blocking Lin Le's punch.

With a sharp crack, the Qiankun Ring shattered the layer of golden light.

The Hun Tian Ling was as hard as iron and pierced into Wei Zhenshan's body in an instant.

Lin Le withdrew his fist, and Hun Tian Ling swiftly reached out, pulling out a fresh heart.

"Tsk, your heart is actually red, unbelievable." Lin Le looked at the heart in his hand, clicked his tongue, and then tightened his grip.

The heart instantly exploded into pieces.

Watching his heart being crushed, Wei Zhenshan's eyes were filled with despair. He never expected that Lin Le could break in so easily despite the Xiang family's tight defenses.

At this point, Wei Zhenshan understood: "Transformation technique, black cat?"

"As expected of Magistrate Wei, he has insight." Lin Le nodded.

Wei Zhenshan gave a bitter smile and fell straight down.

"Let's go, Uncle Liu."

Lin Lechao said to Liu Yonghuai.

Liu Yonghuai glanced at Wei Zhenshan with a complicated expression, then nodded: "Okay."

Carrying Liu Yonghuai, Lin Le leaped several times, about to rush out of the Xiang family compound, when at that moment, an angry shout rang out:

"Where to go!"

Then, an arrow arrived in the blink of an eye, heading straight for Lin Le's head.

Seeing the arrow in his line of sight, Lin Le slightly tilted his head, dodging the attack, and then shouted, "County Commandant Xiang, see you later!"

The illusion was cast, and the two figures vanished instantly.

"Leave it here!" Xiang Lingchen, who had arrived, unleashed a precious pearl that shone brightly.

Then he saw Lin Le rushing towards him.

"It's a promise, see you later."

Lin Le grinned at Ling Chen, revealing a set of fine, white teeth.

Xiang Lingchen was horrified and instinctively threw a punch at Lin Le.

Bang! Lin Le firmly caught Xiang Lingchen's fist.

With a creak, Xiang Lingchen's hand pressed directly against his arm.

A sharp pain shot through him, and without uttering a sound, Xiang Lingchen immediately kicked Lin Le.

With a tearing sound, Lin Le, along with an arm, distanced himself from Xiang Lingchen.

Lin Le casually tossed his arm aside, dusted off his clothes, looked at Xiang Lingchen with a sinister grin, and said, "You deserve to die."
