142: Chapter 142 So you have a weakness too...

Ten minutes later.

Lin Yuan brought Xia Bingli to the dilapidated living room of an abandoned building.

It had clearly once been the residence of some wealthy person, luxuriously decorated, but it was now ravaged beyond recognition by the Apocalypse.

The sofa was torn, the floor shattered, the walls were covered in cracks, and traces of chaos were everywhere.

Lin Yuan sat casually on a sofa that was still somewhat intact, crossed his legs, and looked at Xia Bingli with indifferent eyes.

"Sit."

He pointed to the sofa opposite him.

Xia Bingli sat down in silence, watching Lin Yuan with wary eyes.

At this moment, her injuries had recovered by seventy percent.

As an assassin, her physique far exceeded that of an ordinary person; the Advanced Healing Potion combined with her own recovery ability allowed her to regain her combat strength.

At least...

If she wanted to escape, there was still a chance now.

But she didn't move.

Because she knew that trying to escape in front of Lin Yuan was simply seeking death.

She had seen the scene from earlier very clearly.

Space Cutting!

That was a legendary top-tier Superpower!

Yet Lin Yuan used it as easily as drinking water!

This kind of strength...

Was simply not something she could contend with.

In the living room, the atmosphere was terrifyingly silent.

Lin Yuan didn't speak, just quietly looking at Xia Bingli.

And Xia Bingli didn't speak either, lowering her head, her thoughts unknown.

Time passed minute by minute.

Finally...

Xia Bingli's body began to tremble slightly.

It wasn't fear.

But... anger.

Anger suppressed for too long began to boil at this moment!

She suddenly raised her head, and in those beautiful eyes, a bone-deep hatred was burning!

Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

His B-Class Crisis Insight was signaling frantically!

The color above Xia Bingli's head was turning from black to red at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Red!

That was a certain-kill level of killing intent!

"Heh..."

Xia Bingli let out a cold laugh, her voice bone-chillingly cold:

"Why did you treat me like that back then?"

Her voice was trembling—not out of fear, but a tremble from anger reaching its peak.

She suddenly stood up, her entire body's killing intent exploding!

Boom—!

A terrifying aura swept out from her body!

The assassin's momentum caused the temperature in the entire living room to drop abruptly!

The cracks on the walls began to spread, the floor began to fissure, and the air was filled with a biting killing intent!

The killing intent in Xia Bingli's eyes almost solidified!

At this moment, Xia Bingli was like an enraged leopardess, ready to pounce and kill her prey at any time!

Lin Yuan watched this scene quietly.

He didn't panic, he didn't even frown.

Only...

His gaze became icy cold.

"You... want to kill me?"

His voice was terrifyingly calm.

But it was precisely this calmness that sent a chill through Xia Bingli's heart.

The next second!

Boom—!!

A terrifying pressure erupted from Lin Yuan's body!

It was the pressure of SS-rank Lightning Control!

It instantly suppressed Xia Bingli's aura!

Not only that!

A flash of coldness crossed Lin Yuan's eyes, and he directly activated his Space Ability!

Wom—!

Space distorted!

Xia Bingli was instantly imprisoned in place, her entire person as if bound by invisible chains, unable to move!

She struggled desperately, her Superpower exploding frantically, but in the face of the absolute power gap...

It was like an ant trying to shake a giant tree!

"Im... possible..."

Xia Bingli's eyes widened in disbelief.

Under her full-scale eruption, even an S-rank expert would have to take her seriously!

But in front of Lin Yuan...

She couldn't even manage to break free?!

Crackle—!

Silver-white lightning surged from Lin Yuan's body, wandering around Xia Bingli's person!

That terrifying pressure made her feel the true aura of death!

Lin Yuan slowly stood up and walked toward Xia Bingli step by step.

With every step, the pressure increased by another notch.

His gaze was bone-chillingly cold, without any emotional fluctuation.

"I saved you, and yet you want to kill me?"

Lin Yuan's voice was frighteningly cold:

"Do you really think... I don't dare to kill you?"

He raised his right hand, and lightning condensed in his palm.

That was a terrifying lightning bolt sufficient to instantly kill an expert!

Xia Bingli's pupils constricted!

She could clearly feel...

This strike was truly intended to kill her!

It wasn't a threat!

It wasn't intimidation!

It was... a killing blow!

As a top-tier assassin, her perception of death was extremely keen!

At this moment, every one of her cells was signaling frantically!

Death!

Certain death!

If this strike fell, she would undoubtedly die!

But he didn't need to go that far, because with the power gap, it was simply impossible for Xia Bingli to kill him!

Lin Yuan suppressed the lightning in his hand.

But he didn't release the imprisonment on Xia Bingli.

On the contrary, he increased the intensity of the spatial confinement!

Xia Bingli was pressed down so hard she couldn't move, and even speaking was difficult.

Lin Yuan looked down at her, his eyes cold:

"Give me... a reason not to kill you."

Xia Bingli gritted her teeth, her eyes full of stubbornness.

Even threatened by death, she still did not yield.

"Just... kill me..."

She squeezed out a few words with difficulty:

"I... never bow my head to anyone..."

"I would rather die..."

"Than yield to... you!"

Hearing this, a cold sneer curled on Lin Yuan's lips.

"Very well."

"You have backbone."

"Then I will... grant your wish!"

As his words fell, the lightning in his hand condensed again!

And this time, the power was even stronger!

Xia Bingli closed her eyes, waiting for death to descend.

She... did not regret it.

As an assassin, she had long been prepared for death.

The only regret was...

"Bingning... I'm sorry..."

"Big sister... failed to rescue you..."

Thinking of her younger sister who was still suffering in the Shadow Organization, a flash of pain crossed Xia Bingli's eyes.

But she did not open her mouth to beg for mercy.

An assassin's pride would not allow her to bow her head to an enemy.

Even... for the sake of her sister.

Three seconds...

Five seconds...

Ten seconds...

The expected lightning did not fall.

Xia Bingli opened her eyes and looked at Lin Yuan in confusion.

Only to find Lin Yuan looking at her with a half-smile.

"What?"

Lin Yuan sneered, "Thinking I would kill you directly?"

"I've changed my mind."

"Death..."

He leaned closer to Xia Bingli, his voice bone-chillingly cold:

"Is too easy on you."

"I'm going to make you wish you were dead..."

"To make you regret... having the intent to kill me!"

As his words fell!

Lin Yuan directly launched a mental attack!

His Spiritual Power had long reached an incredible level!

Boom—!

Terrifying Spiritual Power directly invaded Xia Bingli's consciousness!

"Ah——!!"

Xia Bingli let out a miserable scream, her eyes becoming unfocused!

That feeling...

Was like countless needles piercing through her brain!

Pain!

Pain to the depths of her soul!

And even more terrifying...

Her memories were being forcibly flipped through by Lin Yuan!

"No... don't..."

Xia Bingli struggled desperately, but it was completely futile.

Lin Yuan's Spiritual Power far exceeded hers; wanting to flip through her memories was as easy as pie.

Scene after scene flashed through Lin Yuan's mind.

Xia Bingli being taken away by the Shadow Organization as a child...

Receiving cruel assassin training in the organization...

Countless life-and-death missions...

And...

The figure of a little girl.

Xia Bingning.

Xia Bingli's younger sister.

Also taken by the Shadow Organization, but because her talent was insufficient, she was used as an experimental subject.

And the reason Xia Bingli stole the s-rank gene serum...

Was to rescue her sister who was being used as an experimental subject!

So that was it.

A playful smile curled on Lin Yuan's lips.

Weakness found.

He withdrew his Spiritual Power, looked at Xia Bingli who was slumped on the ground, and sneered:

"So you have a weakness too..."

"That little girl called Xia Bingning..."

"She's quite cute, isn't she?"

Xia Bingli's entire body jolted!

She suddenly raised her head, and for the first time, true fear appeared in her eyes!

"You... how did you..."

"You are not allowed to touch her!"

Xia Bingli trembled:

"You can kill me! But you are not allowed to touch my sister!"

"She... she doesn't know anything!"

"Don't touch her!!"

Watching Xia Bingli's breakdown, Lin Yuan smiled.

Very good.

This weakness...

Was more than enough.
