"Sword Prince, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't meddle in other people's business," Shi Nian said, his face extremely unsightly.
Tianlin raised his long sword, "What if I insist on meddling?"
"This Tang San defeated three of your Royal Fight members, which can be considered a loss of face for your Royal Fight, right? Moreover, I just heard your conversation with Tang San, and it seems there's a rift between you. Killing him would only benefit you," Shi Nian said as he walked closer to Tianlin, while his hands behind his back continuously gathered strength. If possible, he really didn't want to be enemies with Tianlin. Compared to Tang San, who appeared to have no power or influence, he couldn't afford to offend the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Even if he could destroy the body and eliminate the traces after killing Tianlin, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could easily find him by investigating Tianlin's itinerary today. At that time, even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had no evidence, it wouldn't matter.
They just couldn't use the law to judge him; couldn't they still carry out assassinations? For these large sects, mere suspicion was enough to sentence him to death. After all, this wasn't the kind of society ruled by law that Tianlin had in his previous life; evidence was completely unimportant.
But if Tianlin insisted on pursuing this matter today, then he could only resort to drastic measures. At worst, he would immediately flee after killing him, whether to Slaughter City or joining Spirit Hall. With his strength as a Soul Sage, he didn't believe he couldn't find a way to survive.
"Hehe, I've long heard that Mr. Shi Nian is vindictive and unscrupulous in achieving his goals. Seeing you today, it's indeed true," Tianlin said with a faint smile, sensing his small movements, "Just like me."
After speaking, flames flickered in Tianlin's eyes. The other party was gathering strength, and so was he. At this moment, the powerful killing intent released by Tianlin was terrifying.
His purpose in using Tang San as bait was for Shi Nian's Spirit Bone. At this time, how could he possibly let him go?
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Nightmare!" Sensing the sudden surge of immense killing intent from Tianlin, Shi Nian subconsciously released his Spirit Avatar.
A huge Illusion Space enveloped Tianlin. Shi Nian said with hatred, "Sword Prince, since you don't appreciate my kindness, then I have no choice but to take drastic measures against you. Repent in despair!"
"Despair? See who's despairing, Golden Flame Soul Burn!" Tianlin's eyes flashed, and the entire Illusion Space was instantly surrounded by raging flames.
"What, what is this flame? Why can it even burn my Illusion Space?"
"Ah!!!" Shi Nian screamed in pain. If Tang San's howls just now were full of despair, then Shi Nian's screams now were incomparably shrill.
"First Spirit Ability, Frezing Snow!" Tianlin took the opportunity to step forward, preparing to cut off his head.
Just at this moment, Shi Nian raised his hideous face, and a light flashed on his forehead. Suddenly, his mental power greatly increased, and Tianlin also felt that his own mental power had been weakened to a certain extent.
"Fifth Spirit Ability, Illusionary Body!"
Relying on this difference in mental power, Shi Nian barely escaped the burning flames and used his Fifth Spirit Ability to escape Tianlin's attack. Tianlin's sword only killed one of his dream Illusionary Bodies.
"Oh, so this is the Ten Thousand Year Illusion Head Bone you snatched after killing the personnel of the Heaven Dou Grand Auction House?" Tianlin said with satisfaction, "Not bad indeed. That move just now was Illusion Space, right? It increases your own mental power while weakening your opponent's mental power, and even produces a hallucinatory effect on the opponent."
"You even know about this?" Shi Nian was shocked, and suddenly thought of something, "I understand, this Tang San is the bait you released. His ability to see through illusions and defeat the Royal Fight three in the previous match was all part of your script, just to attract my attention and lure me out of the city to assassinate him, and then you would kill me, right?"
"That's right, it's just a pity you know too late. Brother Tianmeng, let's go," Tianlin called out.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm understood, "I got it, Xiao Tian, you want to show off in front of you and your brother with a mere Ten Thousand Year Head Bone, let him see the power of your brother's million-year mental Spirit Bone, Mental Interference Domain!"
A domain much larger than Illusion Space spread with Tianlin as the center. This domain was very similar to the effect of Illusion Space, but its power was completely different, after all, there was a difference of ten thousand years and a million years.
Illusion Space was suppressed. At this time, a huge suction force suddenly came from Tianlin's forehead, and Shi Nian's spirit was sucked in without any resistance. This was a special space, and in front of him was a huge snow-white meat worm.
"This, what is this thing?" Shi Nian was horrified, never expecting that this Sword Prince's spirit actually housed such a monster.
"Dare to use your Spirit Avatar to bully my Xiao Tian, your brother will kill you!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm released a mental wave, instantly shattering Shi Nian's spirit into countless black particles. It was not good at fighting, but when it came to mental power, many gods might not be able to compare with it.
"This Shi Nian, how many people did he torture and kill when he was alive? The particles of his soul are as black as ink," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said.
"Who knows, but Brother Tianmeng, he can't bully me. Illusion-type Spirit Avatar is useless to me," Tianlin said that he just wanted to save trouble and let Tianmeng Ice Silkworm take action. How could the other party have the ability to bully him? Face-saving projects cannot be lost.
After solving Shi Nian's soul, Tianlin walked towards Shi Nian's body. At this time, Shi Nian, like the Death Tyrant Dragon last time, his heart was still beating and blood was still flowing, but he had completely lost consciousness.
"Shi Nian, you bad guy met me, who is not a good person, so consider yourself unlucky," Tianlin's long sword slashed, and the powerful Ultimate Fire immediately burned Shi Nian's body completely, and a Spirit Bone fell to the ground.
That was the Illusion Head Bone. Tianlin stepped forward, picked it up, and placed it into his Soul Tool, then turned to look at Tang San, first snatching away Tang San's Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night.
His poison-type Spirit Bone was still inside. He couldn't possibly leave it for Tang San, could he? Of course, he had to take it back. Anyway, afterwards, Tang San would only think that Shi Nian had stolen it.
Looking at Tang San, who even in his unconscious state had a tightly furrowed brow and a face full of pain, Tianlin felt a rare twinge of guilt.
He could be clear in his conscience about the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well and the Man-Faced Demon Spider Spirit Ring from before, because the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well belonged to Dugu Bo's family, and Dugu Bo could give it to whomever he wanted. As for the Man-Faced Demon Spider, Dragon Duke had started hunting it in the first place, and Meng Yiran was also qualified to obtain it. These things were not necessarily Tang San's.
But today, he had indeed used Tang San for his own benefit. In a way, he had harmed him.
Tianlin sent a wisp of spiritual power over, repairing Tang San's damaged soul, and also used Soul Reading to delete all the unbearable memories he had seen in Shi Nian's Illusion Space.
Tang San's expression visibly improved.
Tianlin said in a low voice, "Tang San, consider this spiritual power as compensation for you. Make good use of it; you should be able to gain some insight. From now on, I hope you won't come and provoke me again, or I won't show you any mercy."
