Chapter 127: The Betrayer (First Update)
Both villains and heroes perish due to excessive talking.
Zhang Chi secretly regretted that he was still too soft-hearted. He couldn't believe he had been swayed.
He clearly sensed a familiar aura from this woman!
He felt that Wenren Li was somewhat like him - outwardly righteous, but inwardly cunning and cautious in her actions.
He had finally made the mistake that all men make - he wasn't as ruthless towards someone like himself.
That's why he fulfilled Wenren Li's request and listened to her stories, comforting her.
Of course, this was also to make the Nine Probes of the Divine Dragon more effective.
And now, Wenren Li had turned the tables.
Fortunately, Zhang Chi still had his final trump card.
"Save me, Second Brother!"
Gu Youyou: "..."
See, although Zhang Chi was smart, he couldn't bear to be away from her for even a moment.
Although Gu Youyou couldn't currently use much of her Divine Soul power, she could temporarily tap into Zhang Chi's strength and stimulate his acupoints, allowing him to have a short burst of power.
This power was indeed Zhang Chi's own, but without Gu Youyou, he couldn't unleash it.
"Die!"
"The one who will die first is you!"
Both of them were consumed by rage, and in the end, they simultaneously unleashed their most powerful moves, resulting in a mutually destructive outcome.
They collapsed in the tent, unable to move for a long time.
They felt exhausted, as if their bodies had been emptied.
But both of them were stubborn. Wenren Li arrogantly said, "Hmph, is that all?"
"You're quite sweet, I like it."
Both of them tried to assert their dominance.
But Wenren Li was ultimately no match for Zhang Chi.
She was making empty threats, while Zhang Chi seemed to be flirting.
One person had a fierce expression, while the other remained calm and composed.
Wenren Li felt that she had lost the upper hand and had to find another way to regain it.
"I know the secret of the Body of the First Star. You're no longer my match."
"Just wait a little longer, my friend will be back soon. If you kill me, you won't be able to leave."
Upon hearing this, Wenren Li panicked.
That's right, this was Zhang Chi's territory. Zhang Chi's reinforcements would definitely arrive first.
The situation was not in her favor, so she had to leave quickly.
Wenren Li struggled to sit up, straightened herself, and appeared flustered, which made Zhang Chi want to laugh.
"As a parting gift, I'll give you something."
Wenren Li felt a breeze behind her head and quickly reached out to grab it. It turned out to be a small bronze mirror.
By the light of the fire, she saw her reflection in the mirror.
The bruises on her face were gone, her wounds had healed, and even her crooked teeth were straightened.
She was undeniably beautiful, even surpassing Wenren Shu.
"Is this really me?"
She couldn't believe it.
"Misfortune relies on fortune, and fortune hides within misfortune. Being ugly may not necessarily be a bad thing, and being good-looking may not necessarily be a good thing. Take care of yourself!"
"You be careful too, I'll come to kill you."
Leaving behind these harsh words, Wenren Li hurriedly left.
Once she reached the forest, she leaned against a tree to regain her energy.
Her whole body was sore, but her condition was still good.
Moreover, she felt that she had completely mastered the Body of the First Star, and the power of the Five Ghosts could be used at any time.
The recovery ability and longevity of the Blood Sucking Ghost, the powerful Divine Soul of the Soul Assimilating Ghost, the resistant body and sharp claws of the Corpse Eating Ghost, the fast cultivation effect of the Infant Ghost, and the ability to absorb energy of the Lustful Ghost.
She is not a ghost, but because she ate a ghost, she can possess the power of a ghost, and it is a combination of the five ghosts.
With such powerful talent, she will surely become the strongest in the world.
Moreover, she has restored her original appearance.
Ugliness has always been something she didn't want to face, but now she has a stunning appearance.
She looks at herself in the mirror with great joy.
However...
Zhang Chi's words echoed in her ears.
"Calamity relies on fortune, fortune hides calamity. This guy really makes sense.
With such ability, he must also have reached the Divine Ability Realm, right?"
In the secret realm, except for some people she knows, no one knows the cultivation level of others.
Wenren Li probably couldn't imagine that Zhang Chi had just reached the Foundation Building stage, and it was only his first day.
"Before having absolute strength, it's better to keep a low profile."
Wenren Li put away the bronze mirror, relaxed her state, her sharp teeth retracted, and the marks on her face reappeared, and the scars on her face also healed.
Looking at her own ugliness, she is now much calmer.
She can now control the power of the five ghosts at will, naturally allowing the marks of the five ghosts to reappear.
What pleases Wenren Li is that a cluster of small flames appeared in her dantian.
When she unleashed the power of the ghost just now, there was also a hint of gloominess in her body.
This is ghost energy.
After passing through the small flames, this ghost energy turned into pure True Qi. With the appearance of this strand of True Qi, her sealed Qi Sea showed some movement.
"Hiss, what is this?"
Wenren Li took a deep breath.
To be able to purify impurities and transform them into pure energy, and to be unaffected by the emptiness of all things, what kind of constitution does Zhang Chi have?
Just the former makes people's hearts pound.
Especially Wenren Li, after being able to use the power of the ghost, quickly realized the drawbacks.
The power of the ghost produces ghost energy. If someone misunderstands or deliberately uses this to frame her, she will be at odds with the world. Many senior experts can directly attack her without any scruples.
If she can make the small flames in her body grow stronger, she can naturally avoid such accusations.
Without ghost energy, who can say that she, the young lady of the Wenren Family, is a member of the ghost race?
"I must find a way to get more..."
Wenren Li clenched the bronze mirror, silently calculating in her heart.
"Miss!"
Lu Luo's anxious voice came and she hurriedly ran to Wenren Li's side.
"Miss, are you okay?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
"What happened just now? Why do you look so weak?"
Lu Luo asked anxiously, and Wenren Li calmly said, "It's nothing, just had a fight with someone and got slightly injured."
"Where are you injured, Miss? Let me see."
"Forget it, it's already healed."
Of course, Wenren Li wouldn't show her the wound. With the help of Lu Luo, she stood up and said, "Rest for a while, I'll go back when I recover."
"Yes."
Lu Luo respectfully supported Wenren Li and felt her weakness. Suddenly, a hint of fierceness flashed in Lu Luo's eyes.
She flipped her palm and a small knife appeared in her hand, stabbing towards Wenren Li's heart.
However, there was no feeling of the knife piercing the flesh and skin. Her wrist was grabbed by a strong hand.
Lu Luo was shocked and looked to the side. The originally weak Wenren Li revealed a chilling smile.
"I gave you so many chances, and you couldn't help but make a move in the end.
You should have waited a little longer. Maybe I would have really trusted you..."
