I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

This was an inspiration Lin Yi received from True Lord Chixia: transforming his body into fire would grant him immunity to physical damage.

If the Demon-Slaying Sword hadn't become so special, Lin Yi would have been locked in a stalemate with him for much longer.

This spell is quite useful, but Lin Yi is currently a paper doll and cannot use fire or water, so he had to use wind instead.

He transformed into a gust of wind, carrying Xiao Yue back about ten feet, before reverting to his paper doll form.

Having missed his attack, Jueying once again vanished into the shadows.

As an assassin, she wasn't in a hurry. She could fail countless times, but if Lin Yi failed to dodge even once, the battle would be over.

Lin Yi understood this principle. Hiding and dodging was too passive, and he didn't like being passive. Taking the initiative was Lin Yi's style of doing things.

To take the initiative, the first step is to dispel the shadows.

Light can dispel darkness.

Since Lin Yi couldn't use fire, he had to think of another way.

After a moment's thought, Lin Yi had an idea.

It's not only fire that emits light; Buddha's light is also light!

That's perfect, he can do that too.

When I killed the monks of Qianfo Temple before, I also learned the six sounds of Buddhism.

Without hesitation, Lin Yi focused his mind and uttered, "Om Mani Padme Hum!"

Lin Yi uttered the six-word mantra in a loud voice. In that instant, the Buddha's light shone brightly, and behind Lin Yi, a golden statue slowly appeared, making people unconsciously want to be overwhelmed by it.

Under the illumination of the Buddha's light, the shadows gradually faded, and Lin Yi heard a muffled groan, perhaps because his Buddha's light had harmed Jueying.

Seeing her master display such power, Xiao Yue couldn't feel happy at all.

My master is actually a Buddhist?

With such a good master, why did you choose to become a monk?

No, we absolutely must find a way to make Master return to secular life!

If Lin Yi knew that his little apprentice had such thoughts, he would probably sigh inwardly at the misfortune of his sect.

But he had no time to care about Xiao Yue right now. Under the Buddha's light, the shadows quickly dissipated, and the Shadow Domain, which had only been open for a short time, was instantly broken. Jueying suffered a significant backlash and was unable to escape into the shadows again, finally revealing his true form.

Judging by her figure and clothing alone, she is definitely an incredibly alluring woman.

It's narrow in the middle, wide at both ends, and has a rounded curve, making it a good baby.

She was wearing a black, tight-fitting leather outfit, which accentuated her figure and silhouette even more clearly. In this era, this outfit was definitely a killer weapon.

However, looking at her figure makes you want to commit a crime, but looking at her face makes you want to back away.

Her face was covered with scars like a spider web, which was terrifying to look at.

Although Jueying is a deity, she still has the appearance of a human.

People often have a strong sense of empathy for the experiences of others; even though those pains happen to others, they can feel the pain themselves.

For example, seeing someone's fingernail flipped up can make me feel inexplicably distressed.

Even a man feels a chill run down his spine when he sees someone else suffer a fatal blow to the genitals.

At this moment, Xiao Yue and Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache as they looked at the wounds on Jueying's face.

The wounds looked as if a knife had been slashing her face day after day, year after year. The scars were uneven, some new and some old, giving her face a crisscrossing appearance.

Just imagining that scene makes one feel genuinely uncomfortable.

This assassin looks pretty pathetic.

Lin Yi didn't want to lose Jueying's 80,000 years of cultivation; if he could get his hands on that cultivation, he could take off immediately.

But he didn't know if pushing Jueying too far would cause her to go berserk, and in that case, his clone might not be a match for her.

If the original body were here, then there would be no need to say more.

That means I've received a gift package of 80,000 cultivation points, so I'm not afraid of her going berserk at all.

"Did Venerable Miaofa send you?"

Lin Yi tried to take the initiative. As long as he could communicate normally with Jueying, he would have the opportunity to turn him against his own side and persuade him to withdraw.

A trickle of blood spilled from the corner of Jueying's mouth. Just now, when Lin Yi was shining with Buddhist light, she was trying to launch a sneak attack. She was directly hit by the Buddhist light brought about by the six-syllable mantra of Buddhism, and she was not in good shape either.

With her shadow domain broken, she suffered another round of backlash.

She is not in good condition right now, but she stands in the shadows, and the shadows are slowly healing her injuries.

If Lin Yi isn't in a hurry to act, she could take the opportunity to slow down and buy some time.

"I only follow orders, regardless of whose orders I follow."

This is the truth.

Lin Yi made his judgment while observing the Demon-Slaying Manual.

It seems this assassin doesn't even know who his leader is.

She was merely a knife, controlled by others.

Since that's the case, he could certainly try to take the knife from the other party.

Success is of course the best, but even if you don't succeed, you can still turn it into experience, so you won't lose anything.

"Girl, I'm very interested in you."

Lin Yi got straight to the point, and Xiao Yue stared at him with wide eyes.

Good grief, is he flirting with other girls right in front of her?

Xiao Yue was furious, but she didn't say anything. She just stared intently at Jueying's despicable actions.

That's all, I'll grow up someday too!

Unlike Xiao Yue, Jueying wasn't love-struck and knew Lin Yi didn't mean that. She said coldly, "You want to recruit me?"

"Yes, this is the only way you can survive from me."

Lin Yi wasn't bluffing. Jueying had already been recorded in the Demon-Slaying Manual. Lin Yi was currently using a secondary account and couldn't guarantee that he could keep Jueying there, but if he switched to his main account and went to find him, Jueying would have nowhere to escape.

That's the power of cheating.

But Jueying didn't know that Lin Yi had this ability. She smiled coldly. If you ignored the hideous scars on her face, it would be easy to tell that she was once a cold and beautiful woman.

"Do you really think you've got me cornered?"

Although the first encounter ended in Jueying's defeat, it would be a gross underestimation of her to think that this was all she was capable of.

The terror of an assassin lies not in her direct lethality, but in her unexpectedness.

Moreover, Jueying's target has never been Lin Yi, but Xiao Yue.

So what if you can't beat Lin Yi in a head-on fight?

Can Lin Yi continue to protect Xiao Yue forever?

With just one moment of carelessness, she could have taken Xiao Yue's life.

"How about we make a bet? From now on, you can hide anywhere you want, but if I catch you three times, you lose. How about it?"

Jueying felt that Lin Yi was simply looking down on people. When it came to infiltration skills, if she admitted to being second, no one in the world would dare to claim to be first.

However, although Jueying was confident, she was also somewhat hesitant to accept the bet.

Why should I bet against you? What benefit would I get?

"If you win, I will not defend myself and will stand here for you to kill."

Even if I lose, I cannot obey you.

Jueying firmly refused, but she didn't know that Lin Yi never intended to completely recruit her with a bet.

Betrayal is rarely instantaneous; it takes time. Therefore, Lin Yi generously said, "You don't have to obey, but how about I bet you answer three questions?"

If you're worried, I can tell you what I want to ask first.

"tell me the story."

Under the shadows, Jueying's injuries had almost fully healed, and he was much more at ease now.

Whether she agrees to the bet or not, she can listen to it first.

"My first question is, how did your face get ruined?"

Upon hearing the first question, Jueying's face darkened, and a red glint appeared in his eyes.

This is a manifestation of a strong murderous intent.

But she was not controlled by the urge to kill and endured it.

"My second question is, what is your divine position?"

"The third question is, how much do you know about the legendary King Zhou?"

Upon hearing the second question, Jueying thought Lin Yi was giving it away for free, but upon hearing the third question, her eyes lit up with envy.

With his already ferocious appearance, coupled with his menacing red eyes, he was incredibly vicious, like a demon from the human world.

"Who are you, and why are you asking about him?!"

Judging from her strong reaction, she must know something.

Lin Yi remained calm and said, "This matter cannot be discussed. You only need to tell me what you know."

Jueying's eyes widened in shock, and when he looked at Lin Yi again, something seemed to have appeared in his eyes.

"I understand."

What did you understand?

Lin Yi looked a little confused, but he just smiled, as if he admired you.

"I've taken the bet. If you lose, I won't show any mercy."

Ok?

Generally speaking, you should listen to women's words from the opposite perspective.
