Chapter 201: Stabbed
Lin Jingjing piloted the Hoverboard over. Now it was her turn to look down on Ni Sang.
“Tsk, tsk. Why wear a skirt to a fight? Look, you’ve ruined it,” Lin Jingjing said teasingly, crouching on her Hoverboard.
“You’re completely exposed. Need me to lend you some clothes?”
Ni Sang climbed up from the ground and adjusted her skirt.
Then, she looked at Lin Jingjing, her eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.
“I’m going to—kill you!” Ni Sang roared as her entire body began to change.
Her beautiful face slowly turned a grayish-white, her mouth split wide, and her hands and feet twisted into claws.
‘What a pity for such a beauty to turn into a monster.’
Ni Sang now looked like a zombie—a mutated one at that.
The sight was hard to stomach.
Lin Jingjing watched her finish transforming and fell silent.
‘She’s even uglier than that Kulundi. I have no idea why she’d willingly undergo this kind of modification.’
“Don’t you think it’s ugly?” Lin Jingjing asked.
“In your human form, you were beautiful and strong. I almost couldn’t help but feel a little pity for you. But now that you’ve become… this…” Lin Jingjing stared at her, pausing for a long moment before her gaze turned to one of disgust, her voice laced with loathing. “It just makes me want to crush you.”
Ni Sang looked down at her own hand. Her fair skin was gone, replaced by a hideously ugly, gray appendage.
As someone who had always cherished her beauty, she found it hard to accept. But in this form, her combat abilities were greatly enhanced in every way.
“Heh heh, so what? I can change into this form, and I can change back,” Ni Sang said. Her once clear and pleasant voice had become raspy and aged, grating on the ears.
“How grating,” Lin Jingjing belittled her without reservation. “Ugly face, ugly voice. If you still can’t beat me after all that, you might as well just die.”
“Whether I can beat you or not, we’ll know once we try, won’t we?” With that, Ni Sang dashed straight for Lin Jingjing, her speed incredible.
Lin Jingjing hastily raised her defenses, and Ni Sang’s claw left five deep scratches on the barrier.
Seeing the five gouges, Lin Jingjing’s eyes widened slightly. ‘No wonder she’d turn herself into something so hideous. Her combat power really did increase.’
“Heh heh, is that all you’ve got?” Lin Jingjing chuckled, and with a lift and a slap of her hand, the hand of her giant Magic Image swatted down toward Ni Sang.
Seeing the massive palm, Ni Sang stood her ground, unmoving.
As the palm slammed down, something blocked it. Lin Jingjing glanced over and saw that Ni Sang had also conjured a large Protective Shield around herself.
Ni Sang’s Shield was surprisingly powerful, preventing the hand of Lin Jingjing’s Magic Image from pressing down.
“Oh? Your spiritual power has increased?” Lin Jingjing asked after a glance. “Looks like becoming this ugly was worth it for you after all.”
Saying this, Lin Jingjing let out a laugh. “But so what if you’re stronger?”
“You’ll still die by my hand!” Lin Jingjing shouted, concentrating. The golden light in her eyes intensified, and she forced her hand downward with all her might.
The giant hand, which had been stuck in place, crashed down. Ni Sang, unable to dodge in time, was slammed to the ground in terror.
As she was pinned down, only a single thought ran through Ni Sang’s mind: ‘Is this woman’s spiritual power really that formidable?’
After grinding her down a few times, Lin Jingjing thought the woman would surely die. But when she lifted the hand, she saw a large crater in the rooftop.
And Ni Sang had escaped through it.
“Heh…” Lin Jingjing sneered. ‘So she ran.’
She quickly scanned the area with her glasses. They were a huge help, allowing her to see many things invisible to the naked eye.
‘Mo Xuan really has designed a lot of useful gadgets in the last six months.’
She searched the area, and just as she thought Ni Sang had gone into hiding…
A sound came from behind her. Lin Jingjing spun around to see Ni Sang with her fingers pressed together, her long nails glinting with a sharp light.
She was moving fast. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and she looked exceptionally battered.
“Die!” Ni Sang lunged, stabbing at Lin Jingjing with her nails. The golden light enveloping Lin Jingjing’s body activated in defense.
But her nails were so sharp that they managed to pierce through the golden Protective Shield and stab into Lin Jingjing’s skin.
The pain made Lin Jingjing’s brow furrow. She didn’t hesitate to raise her hand and swing at Ni Sang.
The blow was powerful and incredibly fast, but Ni Sang was faster.
The moment the large palm came down, Ni Sang had already fled.
‘A hit-and-run attack. How sneaky.’
Lin Jingjing looked down and saw blood pouring from the small puncture wounds.
It showed no signs of stopping.
The pain didn’t lessen; instead, it grew more intense.
Lin Jingjing’s expression changed. She quickly took out a Recovery Potion, personally developed by Feng He, from her Space Ring and drank it.
After drinking it, the bleeding stopped, but the wound healed very slowly.
The Recovery Potion made by Feng He was as effective as any on the market, if not better.
But Lin Jingjing didn’t recover immediately after drinking it. ‘It seems that woman’s body is poisonous.’
Immediately, Lin Jingjing opened her Star Ring and placed a call to the four of them.
They connected one by one, and Shi Feng’s scream immediately blasted through the comms.
The others quickly called out to him.
“What’s happening?”
“Shi Feng, don’t tell me you’re about to fall?”
“If you can’t hold on, don’t do anything rash! Call for help!”
Shi Feng was still yelling but didn’t reply to them. However, he was still muttering a stream of curses.
“Fuck! I’ll kill you all! You wanna eat me? In your fucking dreams!”
“You think I’m that easy to eat?”
“Get lost! Why are you all swarming me?”
Listening to Shi Feng’s curses, the others realized he was fine and not in any real danger.
Lin Jingjing called out, “Feng He.”
“Here,” Feng He quickly responded.
“The Recovery Potion you gave me, is it supposed to work immediately, or does it take time?” Lin Jingjing asked, voicing her doubt.
“It works immediately.”
Hearing this, Lin Jingjing glanced down at the wound on her waist.
It was healing very, very slowly. The bleeding had stopped, but the pain remained.
“What’s wrong? Are you hurt?” Feng He asked with concern.
Lin Jingjing replied, “It’s nothing. I was just asking.”
“By the way, what other potions did you give us?” Lin Jingjing continued to ask.
“Recovery Potions, antidotes, potions to restore spiritual power, and some pills,” Feng He replied.
“Twenty of each, but the pills are the most precious and you have the fewest of those. Use them sparingly. Their effect is also the best.”
“Alright, I got it.” After speaking, Lin Jingjing immediately took out another Recovery Potion and downed it.
The pain vanished, and the wound slowly began to heal.
After observing for a moment, Lin Jingjing understood. ‘That woman’s attack slows down the healing process.’
