James

"That's a shame."

Qikov's eyes were indeed full of regret. "I thought we could be friends, but it seems I was just being too sentimental. But, Miss Yi, have you ever thought that what you are doing is actually causing trouble for your friends?"

"It's unfair to ordinary people if a scum like you lives one more second." Yi Xiaoyin is kind by nature and rarely has murderous intentions, but now she really wants to kill the man in front of her: "Although it can't be considered as enforcing justice, I must kill you today!"

"You have the ambition, but I'm afraid you don't have the ability." Zikov laughed loudly, then suddenly put away his smile: "You want to kill me, but I don't want to kill you. It's better to control you and then lure Xia Tian to save you. He loves you so much, he will definitely be willing to use the method of immortality to exchange your life."

Yi Xiaoyin said coldly: "Then you are wrong."

"Are you trying to say that he doesn't care about you at all?" Zikov said sarcastically, "I don't believe it. After all, I have done some research."

"Since you have done the investigation, you should know that he will never compromise with you." Yi Xiaoyin said calmly, "He will just kill you directly. No one can threaten him except beautiful women."

"Haha, then I want to fight him even more." Zikov smiled even more and pointed at Yi Xiaoyin and said, "Miss Yi, you'd better stay in the black formation obediently. Don't think about resisting, or you will be in great pain."

As he was speaking, the black airflow in the formation had begun to solidify, forming a cube about three meters in width and height.

Yi Xiaoyin naturally would not let him succeed, and immediately took the Piaomiao Step, trying to escape from the black magic circle.

However, no matter how fast she was, the black air currents would always block her path before her, and then rush over from all directions, trying to wrap her up.

Yi Xiaoyin had no choice but to maneuver in the formation to buy herself time, while looking for the flaws in the formation. Sitting and waiting for death has never been her character.

"Don't struggle." Zikov raised his hand and asked the two men in black robes to bring a chair. He lay down with a smug look on his face. "Miss Yi, you can't break through this formation. The more you resist, the more severe the suffering will be. No one can save you."

Yi Xiaoyin found that she had indeed underestimated the person in front of her, otherwise, she would not have come here without any resistance. At that time, she just wanted to see which force was staring at her, but she didn't expect to meet such a pervert.

In the formation, the black airflow became more and more condensed, and it had transformed from its original mist state into a glue-like existence, and it was also evolving towards a more solid state.

“Bang!”

Yi Xiaoyin slapped several balls of black mucus rushing towards him, and after blasting them, he dodged several times in an instant to avoid being splashed. At this time, he found a good opportunity, and suddenly escaped from the formation like a ghost, and slapped the defenseless Zikov again.

Yi Xiaoyin was indeed pushed to the extreme, so she used this set of palm techniques.

This set of palm techniques was forcefully taught to her by Xia Tian at some point in the past. At that time, she had no intention of listening to anything, but her powerful memory still allowed her to memorize this set of palm techniques.

This was the first time she used it, and the effect was amazing. At least it gave her a chance to counterattack with just one move.

"Just in time!" Although Zikov was surprised, he was not panicked. He waved his hands and took out two pistols, and fired a burst of bullets at Yi Xiaoyin.

Yi Xiaoyin was not afraid of bullets, because after reaching the Golden Core Stage, the body of a cultivator was basically invulnerable to swords and guns. However, she was more cautious and still avoided those bullets.

As expected, those bullets were also tempered with that strange black airflow, and they exploded instantly after hitting nothing, splashing in all directions. Everything that was touched was corroded, and then it was connected by the liquid in the black square array, and the array suddenly expanded again.

“Bang!”

Zikov was unable to dodge and was hit by Yi Xiaoyin. He flew backwards for hundreds of meters and it took him a long time to get up. Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of yellow blood, and then his chest split open, and a shattered heart fell out.

"You are indeed powerful, but I have plenty of hearts." Zikov wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stepped forward and stomped the heart he spat out into pieces. "How many times can you kill me? Ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times... Haha, I'm afraid it's impossible."

Yi Xiaoyin suppressed her nausea and said, "You are already immortal. There is no need to look for a way to achieve immortality."

"No, no, no. This method can only keep me immortal, but it can't make me live forever." Zikov shook his head and said distressedly, "Do you know how difficult it is to find organs that match mine? Moreover, these organs have a time limit and must be thrown away when they expire. In fact, your method of immortality tells me that you are also doing good deeds and accumulating virtue to prevent more people from being harmed by me. Isn't this in line with your original intention of saving the dying and the wounded and healing the world?"

"There's no need to go through so much trouble. It would be better to just kill you." Yi Xiaoyin replied in a cold tone.

Zikov sighed deeply and recited an ancient poem: "I used my heart to illuminate the moon, but I wanted to take away the moon to illuminate the ditch. I have given you several chances, but you didn't cherish them. Don't blame me for being rude."

Then he said to the black-robed man beside him: "Activate the formation."

Those men in black robes immediately chanted strange and obscure words, and even cut their wrists, dripping black blood into various nodes of the formation.

Although Yi Xiaoyin didn't know what they were going to do, she felt an ominous premonition in her heart. She immediately flashed in front of Zikov, intending to kill him first.

This time, Zikov was well prepared. He immediately turned into a pool of black smoke and disappeared on the spot.

"Huh?" What Yi Xiaoyin ran into head-on was the black mucus. She came to her senses and found herself back in the formation.

With the chanting of the black-robed men and the stimulation of their blood, the formation became larger and larger. The black liquid had evolved into flowing black steel, and the solidified part was even harder, making it difficult to break.

The Misty Step was actually quite useful, otherwise, Yi Xiaoyin would have been surrounded with no way to escape. However, Yi Xiaoyin was not familiar enough with the Misty Step and could not use it as freely as Xia Tian.

"You are indeed very strong to have been able to hold on until now, but it doesn't help." Zikov revealed his true form again, his eyes slightly narrowed, and said with a smile.

Yi Xiaoyin had no time to deal with such ridicule and was still looking for flaws in the formation.

"Just seal the formation." Zikov chuckled twice and instructed the man in black robe.

The black-robed men immediately stopped chanting, and took out a bag of yellow powder from their arms and poured it into the nodes of the formation. As soon as the powder touched the black liquid in the formation, it immediately produced a very strong reaction, and all the black liquid merged together to form a huge ball, while emitting a pungent smell.

As soon as Yi Xiaoyin smelled the odor, she knew something was wrong. It was a hypnotic gas, so she had to hold her breath temporarily.

The black sphere became smaller and smaller, and finally shrank to only half the height of a person. I don’t know what happened to Yi Xiaoyin inside it.

"Okay, shrink the formation and send it to the secret warehouse." Zikov shook his head disdainfully and said to the men in black robes.

Just as the black-robed men were about to touch the black sphere, a bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky and struck the center of the sphere. The sphere instantly split open, and Yi Xiaoyin jumped out of the gap, floating in the air.

"Who dares to ruin my business?" Zikov's eyes widened in anger, he looked around and shouted, "Get out of here!"

Suddenly, a black robe appeared silently above Zikov's head.

Before Zikov could react, a silver-white dagger pierced through his crown.

"ah--"

Zikov let out a shrill scream, and his entire body immediately fell apart and scattered all over the ground. Soon, all his limbs secreted yellow mucus, trying to glue his body back together. However, the pain of being stabbed in the brain made it impossible for Zikov to control all parts of his body.

Although Yi Xiaoyin didn't know who helped her, she did not miss the opportunity. She immediately shot out several silver needles, which penetrated her nose and went straight to her brain.

“Bang!”

With a crisp sound, Zikov's head burst open like a watermelon that could not bear the heavy pressure.

"Go!" The black shadow shouted at Yi Xiaoyin, "Don't fight any more."

Yi Xiaoyin casually dealt with those people in black robes, and then followed the black shadow away.

After a while, the two felt that they were in a safe area and stopped.

Yi Xiaoyin said to the black shadow: "Thank you for saving my life. What is your name?"

"My name is James, Miss Yi, nice to meet you." The dark shadow suddenly took off his disguise, revealing his true face. He was a blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner, but his Chinese was quite standard, with a genuine Beijing accent.

"Do you know me?" Yi Xiaoyin asked.

Zhan Musi laughed and touched his hair: "Of course I know you. You and Xia Tian are the key research subjects of our [Eternal Life Temple]. Of course I know you."

Yi Xiaoyin said with some caution: "So, you are in cahoots with that Zikov?"

"No, we're just colleagues. I hate that pervert, too." James shook his head and explained, "I met Xia Tian not long ago, and he saved my life. After I came back, I found out that Zikov was plotting against you, so I was on guard. I saved you just to repay you, and you don't have to thank me at all. Besides, that formation can't actually trap you. You just don't know what it is, so it takes some time."

"Let's put it this way." Yi Xiaoyin has always been clear about gratitude and resentment, but she still thanked him: "You did save me, I must thank you for that."

Zhan Musi thought about it and did not refuse: "Okay, building a good relationship with you will also make it easier for me to get close to Xia Tian in the future. Remember to say good things about me in front of Xia Tian in the future."

Yi Xiaoyin asked: "Why do you want to get close to Xia Tian? Do you also want some method of immortality?"

"Who doesn't want immortality?" James said with a smile, "But Qikov and I are not the same kind. I prefer to talk about cooperation with the strong. Well, it's not suitable to stay here for long. I have to slip away. I can't let the upper level find out that I did it. See you later."

Yi Xiaoyin thanked him again and left soon, taking the nearest flight back to China.
