57: Lu Jin is possessed by a demon

Mount Longhu, in the forest.

"Ah!!!"

Lu Jin let out a painful groan, trying to control his limbs.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan discovered it early. Seeing Lu Jin's abnormal complexion, he immediately acted.

He wouldn't fall into the same trap a second time. Lin Yuan decisively and forcefully interrupted Gao Ning.

This Twelve Afflictions Formation was indeed insidious. Many times, even if one fell victim to it, it was hard to notice.

At this moment, Gao Ning shakily crawled up from the ground, his face still stained with diamond dust, and the prayer beads on his neck were shattered.

If not for the protection of the magical prayer beads, his head would have been directly blown apart by that punch from Platinum Star.

"Cough, cough, cough... There's nothing I can do... I tried my best! This kid discovered me! I can't control Lu Jin anymore!"

"Everyone, scatter and flee! Whether you can escape depends on your own luck!"

Gao Ning turned his head and shouted towards the forest behind him.

Subsequently, all the Quansheng evildoers hidden in the forest began to scatter and flee.

Dou Mei and the others didn't hesitate for a moment and all ran away.

Seeing that Lin Yuan was about to pursue these people, his target was very clear: prioritize eliminating Gao Ning and Dou Mei.

However, Lu Jin immediately reached out and stopped him.

"Hey! I'm not at ease with you going alone. I'll go with you. As for the remaining people, let the other disciples of Tianshi Mansion handle them."

Lin Yuan frowned.

"Senior Lu, you know, it's perfectly fine for me to handle this alone."

"If you follow along, I'm worried about Lu Linglong if she doesn't have anyone to protect her..."

In fact, through what just happened, Lin Yuan knew that Lu Jin's inner demons were very serious.

But he was, after all, his master's long-time friend. Some words would be too offensive, so he thought of giving Lu Jin a way out.

However, Lu Jin completely ignored him, merely drawing two talismans in the air and attaching them to Lin Yuan's and his own legs.

"Kid, remember! Don't be careless. I've already sent Linglong to invite the Old Celestial Master. Once he's done, he'll be able to come and provide support."

After speaking, Lu Jin turned his head and chased in the direction Gao Ning had fled.

Seeing that Lu Jin didn't accept the way out, Lin Yuan had no choice but to follow behind Lu Jin.

Forget it. I'll try my best to end the battle as quickly as possible. If Lu Jin really gets injured or something goes wrong, Mount Longhu, as the host, would be responsible.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan immediately rushed out with his sword. With a series of explosive sounds, he instantly surpassed Lu Jin's figure... In the forest behind the mountain.

Quansheng's Gao Ning and Dou Mei ran wildly through the forest. Because their combat abilities were not very high, they were quite skilled in escaping.

Behind them, Lin Yuan, stepping on his long sword, was as fast as lightning, and the distance between the two sides was constantly closing.

"What the! This Lin Yuan is truly relentless! Why is he still chasing?!"

Sweat constantly seeped from Dou Mei's forehead, her expression anxious.

Gao Ning's face was pale, and he said breathlessly:

"Soon... soon... I can feel that Lu Jin's resistance is rapidly weakening. As long as Lu Jin can be influenced by me, Lin Yuan won't be able to catch us!"

During this time, the two of them constantly dodged the long sword attacking from behind. Before long, both of them were covered in cuts and bruises.

"Slippery as two old loaches! They must have maxed out their evasion stat, right?!"

Seeing that the long sword couldn't kill the two of them, Lin Yuan immediately condensed a purple lightning bolt in his right hand.

"This time, I'd like to see! How you'll dodge this!"

With that, Lin Yuan waved his right hand forcefully.

The purple lightning instantly condensed into a giant purple serpent in mid-air.

The giant serpent was almost fleeting, reaching the two of them in an instant, and then exploded immediately.

Boom!!

With a violent explosion, Gao Ning and Dou Mei were directly swept away by the shockwave. Both of them spat out a large mouthful of blood and heavily slammed onto the ground.

Lin Yuan also arrived at this moment.

"Hmph! Aren't you awesome? Preaching Buddhism to a Taoist!"

Just as Lin Yuan raised his long sword, intending to finish off Gao Ning, Lu Jin also arrived at this moment.

At his advanced age, he had been almost sprinting this entire way, barely catching up... "Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!"

Just as Lu Jin was holding his waist and panting heavily, Gao Ning's eyes flashed. He pushed the Twelve Afflictions Formation to its limit; this might be his last chance to survive.

Lu Jin only felt his vision blur, and a very vague figure suddenly appeared before him.

He was very familiar with that person; it was Rootless Life, whom Lu Jin had been searching for for many years.

"Hahahaha! Lu Jin! You've chased me for so many years and still haven't found me. Now I'm right in front of you. I'd like to see if you can kill me?"

"Rootless Life!! Don't be too arrogant! I've cultivated diligently for so many years! It's all for today!! Die!!!"

Lu Jin's pupils were red at this moment, and he was completely frenzied, like a madman.

"Oh no!!"

Lin Yuan was just about to strike when Lu Jin charged at him. This clearly meant he was being mistaken for Rootless Life.

"I'm truly fed up! I gave you a way out, told you not to come, but you insisted on coming!"

Lin Yuan, with no other choice, stabbed Gao Ning through the chest with his sword, then turned to deal with Lu Jin.

As one of The Ten Elders, and now mistaking him for Rootless Life, Lu Jin would definitely unleash his full power. He probably wouldn't have the chance to hunt down Dou Mei anymore.

Looking at Lu Jin's appearance, Lin Yuan was somewhat troubled. His greatest fear had, after all, come true.

"Rootless Life! Die!!!"

Lu Jin's hair flew wildly, and he charged at Lin Yuan with a ferocious expression, his hands moving in unison, constantly drawing talismans in the air.

Five Thunder Talismans, Five Ghost Talismans, any talisman that could cause damage was drawn by him, densely packed, seemingly endless.

Looking at the countless talismans, Lin Yuan's expression became serious. He directly manipulated his long sword and began to clash with the incoming talismans from a distance.

Boom boom boom!!!

A series of explosions followed one after another, and thick smoke billowed at the scene.

Lu Jin directly activated Reverse Life Triple and charged towards Lin Yuan.

"Heh heh... So this is Reverse Life Triple?"

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes, feeling this strange power, and began to engage in close combat with him.

Bang bang! Bang!!

Because Lin Yuan was worried about hurting Lu Jin, he didn't fully unleash his Myriad Transformation Spiritual Light, and the surrounding protective white light only flickered sporadically.

Although his punches could harm Lu Jin, Reverse Life Triple had a very strong recovery ability, and injuries could almost instantly heal.

So for a time, their battle fell into a stalemate...
