Chapter 43: The End
Jiang He felt relieved when he heard his crazy laughter.

He knew that the magic array he prepared for Lin Chi had worked.

I thought that I would succeed if I could confuse Lin Chi for a few seconds, but I didn't expect that he would be so easily trapped in the illusion.

This illusion array was specially prepared by Jiang He for Lin Chi, and it is highly targeted.

He knew Lin Chi very well. He was not tempted by beauty or wealth, nor was he bound by worldly affairs. He was devoted to the Tao.

In addition, his soul is so powerful that ordinary illusion arrays are completely useless to him.

However, Lin Chi was very confident.

Ordinary cultivators would not dare to imagine that they would make a breakthrough in battle, but he was the only one who was extremely self-centered and believed in his own potential.

Therefore, Jiang He deliberately chose an illusion that would make Lin Chi mistakenly believe that he had broken through the foundation-building stage.

In this illusion, Lin Chi would see himself easily breaking through the foundation-building stage.

But this was just a joke, a joke that Jiang He carefully weaved for Lin Chi.

Jiang He watched Lin Chi struggling in the illusion array. It seemed that his aura was getting stronger, but in fact it was just a last gasp.

He thought there would be a fierce battle, but Lin Chi was already exhausted before he even had to use the talismans.

It was beyond his expectation, but on second thought, no matter how powerful Lin Chi was, he was just a cultivator in the Qi training stage.

After being seriously injured and then besieged by multiple foundation-building monks from the Wuya Sect, he not only fought back but also escaped, which was already remarkable.

Even if Lin Chi is fighting like a trapped beast now, he no longer poses a threat to them.

Bai Minxin still huddled behind him in fear, tightly grasping the corner of Jiang He's clothes, like a frightened little white rabbit.

Because of the Xuanhuang Pearl, Bai Minxin is naturally afraid of Lin Chi.

Only when facing Lin Chi would she take off her tough disguise in front of him and even seek his protection.

He knew that Bai Min was tough on the outside but gentle on the inside, and his nature was pure.

The reason why she is like a hedgehog covered with sharp thorns is simply to protect the two people most precious in her heart.

Using that hard outer shell as a shield, they will fearlessly stand up to any risk that may threaten them.

Sometimes, she would even deliberately act rebelliously to provoke her ex and bear all his anger.

It is because we keep burying our inner weakness deep inside, not facing it, not touching it.

The true emotion hidden under the hard shell gradually becomes blurred and distorted, gradually moving towards an extreme.
"Minxin."

As soon as Jiang He spoke, she immediately raised her head in panic, no longer as stubborn as before.

If he had a camera, he would definitely take a picture of the pitiful Bai Minxin at this moment, and then show it to her when she shows off to him.

Jiang He thought with evil humor as he handed the talisman to her: "Kill him."

Lin Chi, who was deeply trapped in the illusion, began to lose his powerful momentum after constantly fighting with the illusions.

He gradually discovered that his strength was rapidly dissipating and began to try to break free from the illusion.

Jiang He was waiting for this moment, he was completely exhausted.

At this moment, he was already doomed to die, so it didn't matter who killed him.

It would be better to let Bai Minxin kill him and let her face her inner weakness.

Bai Minxin held the talisman tightly and felt the powerful force flowing through it.

There is a thick stack of drawings, all of which Jiang He drew while staying up late these days. He didn't expect that they were of no use at all. Now they are being recycled.

"Go!" She didn't hesitate at all. With a light shout, the talisman instantly turned into a bright light and rushed straight towards Lin Chi.

Light exploded on Lin Chi's body, and the powerful force instantly woke him up from the illusion.

He suddenly opened his eyes, with a hint of astonishment and unwillingness in them.

Then, countless amulets burst into auras that instantly filled the field of vision. "How could I die like this?"

"Huhu."

Bai Minxin kept gasping for breath and collapsed on the ground as if exhausted. The thick stack of talismans had been used up completely.

These were the result of his hard work, and Jiang He felt distressed seeing them. It was obvious that only a few of them would be enough to deal with Lin Chi.

But it’s better this way, so he doesn’t have to perform a blood and flesh reconstruction show on himself and revive with full health.

Not to mention, he might be able to do it once he reaches the later stage of practicing the Nine Revolutions Rebirth Technique.

Lin Chi's severely injured body was hit by dozens of spells at the late stage of Qi training, and it was no longer possible to see his human form.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, not even ashes would be left by now.

It was enough to see how strong his physique was. Even though he was seriously injured, he could withstand such a fierce attack.

The dull and dark yellow bead was lying there quietly.

Jiang He walked up quickly and picked it up from the twisted body. The Xuanhuang Pearl felt warm to the touch, as if there was a heat current flowing inside.

The surface is engraved with various monsters of different shapes, including two human figures.

With the death of Lin Chi, it is gradually disappearing, and engraved on it is the essence refined by the Xuanhuang Pearl.

"Unfortunately, Lin Chi has overdrawn the Xuanhuang Pearl. He needs to kill some monsters to revive it."

Jiang He used his spiritual consciousness to probe into his Dantian. Although he could store the Xuanhuang Pearl in his Dantian, his spiritual power was completely unable to penetrate into it, so he could not practice it for the time being.

However, he was mentally prepared and was not too disappointed. After all, it took Lin Chi three full years to revive the Xuanhuang Pearl.

What is the meaning of the word?
Given Bai Minxin's temptation for the Xuanhuang Pearl, it would be difficult for him to deal with the matter once the Xuanhuang Pearl was fully revived.

Jiang He felt a headache when he thought about how Lin Chi had been tricked by him for the same reason.

After searching Lin Chi's body, I found that he didn't have a storage bag.

There is a space of its own inside the Xuanhuang Pearl, and everything must be stored there. Jiang He is not looking forward to it, because Lin Chi is very poor, and he has used all his wealth to enhance himself.

The God-Imprisoning Rope was wrapped around his arm inside his sleeve. This was another adventure for Lin Chi, but it was nothing compared to the Xuanhuang Pearl.

It is a magic weapon used by cultivators who are building their foundation. It is a relic of the Lin family's ancestor and can be used to imprison cultivators.

Using the strong to bully the weak is very effective, and it is no problem to deal with Qi training cultivators. But it is not so effective against foundation building cultivators.

In the end, only the safety lock hanging around the neck was left. I thought it was some treasure, but after careful observation, I found that it was just an ordinary object.

"No, he's dead."

Ever since the Xuanhuang Pearl fell dormant, the invisible oppression on Bai Minxin disappeared.

She calmed down, but still worriedly picked up the sword and chopped with obsession.

Before leaving, Jiang He set fire to the place, eliminating all traces of it without a trace.

Jiang He was originally a little worried that some wandering cultivators nearby might have heard the noise, but nothing happened on the way back.

It must be deep underground in the mine, and this place is remote, so few people have discovered it.

It saves a bit of trouble.

"This time, I owe you."

The girl sighed softly,

The shadow that had been hanging over my head for so long disappeared, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Blowing the breeze, Jiang He smiled from the bottom of his heart:
"There's no question of whether we are owed or not, between you and me as a master and disciple."
