Chapter 227: Night of the Hunt (9) That’s all

Chen Xinmi’s spiritual black cat squatted nearby, watching everything with a sorrowful expression, its face helpless.

Lin An’s attack had been ineffective. His body instantly passed through Chen Xinmi as if through a layer of smoke, and he quickly bounced off the ground to distance himself.

Chen Xinmi sneered, “You’re a wizard, understand? Born with it, yet greedily trying to learn the ways of the Witch-hunting Knights. With such talent, and still unable to master more than a few witchcraft spells by now.”

Lin An did not speak, merely frowning as he thought of a solution.

“Utterly foolish!” Chen Xinmi continued, “Witchcraft varies from person to person because everyone’s soul is different. Every little difference is our spirituality. It’s what sets us apart, the greatest power of us wizards.”

“Do you know why no wizard learns the techniques of the Witch Hunter Knights’ Furnace? Because it’s a power of discipline, a power that grinds down one’s own spirituality and trains everyone into conformity.”

“You’ve lost your spirituality, and with that, you’ve lost the very foundation of being a wizard.”

“Ha, maybe you think you could just become a Witch-hunting Knight instead, but have you considered that you’re still a wizard, with your blood constantly affected by the Spirit World Aura?”

“When the time comes, you’ll find your body beginning to transform into that of a beast, which is the ultimate fate of a wizard who learns the ways of the Furnace.”

“Do you know how many bows Mr. Liu had to make to beg my sister to help him destroy the Furnace he cultivated?’

Lin An did not speak.

Body, spirit, and soul—He had already figured out the relationship between these three. Everything Chen Xinmi was saying, he had understood long ago.

But what of it?

He remained steadfast on his path because he knew that the essence of a Witch-hunting Knight lies in the body, the essence of a wizard lies in spirituality, but he was a man, and the essence of a man lies in the soul.

He did not believe he was wrong.

If he were wrong, well, what of it?

He was not afraid and was already prepared to shoulder the risks that came with exploring his own path.

The wind howled, and the building ruins were caught in a tornado, thousands of tons of debris swirling like a giant meat grinder.

It blocked not only the assault of the Witch Hunter Knights but also Lin An’s interference with Chen Xinmi.

“Lin An, we are on completely different levels. You can’t even beat those Knight outside, and you think you can stop me? Overestimating yourself. I… I…”

Chen Xinmi incredulously looked down at her chest.

There, several sharp claws had pierced through.

It was miraculous; these claws had perfectly avoided all vital internal organs. Chen Xinmi could feel her heart beating against the cold claws.

Lin An had reverted to human form again, clinging closely behind her while maintaining the cat claw shape in one hand alone.

He had actually taken a shortcut.

No matter how he attacked before, he and Chen Xinmi seemed to exist in different dimensions, unable to touch each other.

But Chen Xinmi’s babbling had inspired him.

Why can a Witch-hunting Knight control Lu Jiao? Because Lu Jiao has refined spirituality, which also replaces it. And spirituality is integrated with the body.

Based on this theory and adding in some of the methods Mr. Liu used to create his doppelgängers that he had just conceived, he used the rhythm of the soul bridge communication in reverse.

Thus, his red string resonated with Chen Xinmi’s body.

Simply put, through the red string, a part of Chen Xinmi’s body, he reached the same dimension Chen Xinmi’s body was in.

“Now if I just move slightly, your heart will burst…” Lin An whispered into Chen Xinmi’s ear from behind, “I know such an attack won’t kill you, but you see, there are so many Witch Hunter Knights here…”

“Let’s make a trade, I let you go, and you release Uncle Zhuang!”

Chen Xinmi slowly turned her head, her masked face disappearing, her phoenix eyes looking at Lin An with interest, her mouth corners hooking up in close proximity, “I underestimated you.”

Lin An did not speak. The claws embedded in Chen Xinmi’s chest transformed, reverting to human form.

His fingers lightly gripped her beating heart, and he raised an eyebrow slightly.

“What do you think?”

“Heh~” Chen Xinmi let out a light laugh, “I think you underestimated me as well!”

Saying so, she gently raised her right hand, and a pair of bloody Lu Jiao suddenly came into Lin An’s view.

“!!!”

Lin An’s eyes widened at the sight of the Lu Jiao, his whole body trembling, anger surging through his chest, and for a moment he wanted to crush Chen Xinmi’s heart in revenge for Zhuang.

But trembling, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

Because…

Chen Xinmi’s death would be insignificant, but the black cat would die with her!

His face instantly turned cold, and Chen Xinmi’s face grew cold as well, her narrowed eyes staring at Lin An, “You can’t bring yourself to do it?”

She let out a sharp scream in a low voice, with a tone of, ‘This is just absurd,’ “Do you actually love me?”

I love you my ass!

Bang~

Lin An was suddenly hit by a large balcony slab, blood spewing as he was sent flying.

Half of his body was deformed from the impact, the bones in his left arm completely shattered, and his left leg was bent in a gruesome angle.

It was only the operation of the Furnace keeping his body alive, or else such a blow would have killed an ordinary person instantly.

“You got lucky!” Chen Xinmi slowly walked over, looking down at Lin An, “Just now if you had crushed my heart, my curse would have caused your heart to suffer the same damage. I don’t care, I can live without a heart, but you would have been dead for sure.”
