Chapter 134 Making a Scene at the Nine Ministers
Sitting on the sofa, Shi Luan narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at Ji Lin in front of her. A half-smile appeared on her lips as she slowly spoke.
"Liu Mingrui, is this teleportation ability of yours something Chi Xiao gave you? It's really unexpected! Besides, I haven't even extended a formal invitation to you yet, but you've come uninvited."
Ji Lin casually glanced at the few people around him who were eyeing him menacingly, without showing the slightest fear on his face. Then, as if no one else was there, he walked straight to the sofa and sat down leisurely.
He crossed his legs, leaned back slightly on the sofa, and replied in a relaxed tone, "Do we need to be so formal between us? I've only come here to borrow something from you."
Upon hearing this, Shi Luan immediately became interested, a glint of curiosity flashing in his eyes, and asked, "Oh? Speak freely, as long as it's something I have, I will certainly give it to you generously."
"However... the prerequisite is that you have to agree to join the Nine Ministers." As he spoke, he crossed his arms and looked at Ji Lin with a smile, seemingly full of anticipation for what was to come.
Ji Lin's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly smile, and he said softly, "Actually, what I want is not some rare thing, but the spirit in your hand."
Before he finished speaking, Shi Luan's calm and composed expression suddenly changed, and his face instantly darkened, as if his sore spot had been touched.
Just then, Shi Luan slightly raised his eyelids and gave Duan Hun, who was standing behind Ji Lin, a wink.
Without hesitation, Duanhun raised the gleaming long-handled scythe in his hand and slashed down fiercely at Ji Lin with lightning speed.
However, Ji Lin reacted extremely quickly. Just as the scythe was about to touch his body, he flashed away like a ghost, instantly moving several meters away, while jokingly saying, "Hehe, sorry, I'm here."
At Ji Lin's soft prompting, Duan Hun turned around abruptly as if struck by lightning. Before Duan Hun could fully recover from his shock, Ji Lin closed in on him with astonishing speed.
Without hesitation, Ji Lin raised his fist high and slammed it straight at Duan Hun!
In an instant, a muffled "thud" was heard, and Ji Lin's fist easily pierced through Duan Hun's entire body.
Duanhun stared wide-eyed at the horrifying bloody hole in his chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
At this moment, before Duanhun's body could fall down, Shiluan quickly stood up.
As Shiran stood up, a strange light suddenly shone. Everyone looked closely and saw that behind Shiran, an enormous clock image had appeared.
Immediately afterwards, Shi Luan activated his unique artifact spirit skill without hesitation.
As a powerful energy surge swept across the entire area, the space seemed to freeze, everything fell into an absolute state of stillness, and time itself stopped flowing.
Seeing this, Ji Lin pretended to be frozen in time as well. Shi Luan first glanced coldly at Ji Lin, and after confirming that the other party was indeed unable to move, he came to Duan Hun's side. Shi Luan slowly stretched out his hands and gently placed them on Duan Hun's shoulders.
A miraculous thing happened: Duanhun's body, which had been pierced, began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. The flesh at the wound continued to grow and wriggle, gradually closing up until it was completely restored.
This is another powerful skill that Shiran possesses—time reversal, through which he can reverse the passage of time.
After completing the treatment of Duanhun, Shilu did not stop what he was doing.
He turned to face the cadres around him who were also frozen in time, and with a gentle wave of his hands, he released the time constraint imposed on them.
In an instant, everyone except Ji Lin, who remained frozen in place, had regained their freedom.
A woman with a graceful figure and beautiful face, yet exuding a hint of ruthlessness, walked towards Ji Lin in the office. She was the female cadre known as Brahma in the Nine Ministers.
Brahma walked lightly to Ji Lin's side, a sly smile playing on her lips. She reached out her slender, jade-like hand and gently stroked Ji Lin's angular face, speaking softly.
"Oh my, what a handsome young man! It's such a pity that he died so young."
After saying that, Brahma's expression suddenly changed, and a cold glint flashed in her beautiful eyes.
She swiftly drew a black whip from behind her back, which gleamed with an eerie light and coiled around Ji Lin's neck like a nimble venomous snake.
Brahma gripped the whip handle tightly with both hands and began to tighten it, attempting to strangle Ji Lin.
However, at this critical moment, Ji Lin, who seemed to have no power to resist, suddenly burst out. With a flash, he executed a clean back throw, slamming Brahma to the ground.
This sudden turn of events startled everyone present, especially Shi Luan, who was watching from the sidelines. He was utterly astonished and exclaimed in disbelief, "You... how could you break free from time stop?"
Faced with Shi Luan's questioning, Ji Lin remained silent, only bending down expressionlessly to pick up the whip that Fan Tian had accidentally dropped.
He carefully examined the whip in his hand, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He muttered to himself, "Hmm, this weapon spirit is quite extraordinary. It's mine now." Before he finished speaking, Ji Lin unhesitatingly put the whip into his system space.
Meanwhile, Brahma got up from the ground with a look of fear and confusion on his face.
When she realized that the connection between herself and the artifact spirit had disappeared, she was filled with fear and anger. Her eyes widened as she stared at Ji Lin and screamed hysterically, "What did you do to my artifact spirit? Where did it go? Give it back to me!"
Ji Lin gave a cold laugh, his gaze sweeping over Fantian and the surrounding crowd with piercing intensity, and said in an icy tone, "Enough, this farce should come to an end."
As soon as he said that, the atmosphere became tense. Ji Lin's eyes narrowed, and he activated the power of the rabbit talisman without hesitation.
He moved swiftly in a flash, arriving beside everyone present in the blink of an eye.
As he approached these people, Ji Lin unleashed the superb skills he had learned in the world of Tianlong.
His movements were fluid and precise, perfectly capturing the spirits of the artifacts carried by everyone and, under Ji Lin's control, storing them all into the system space.
In just a few seconds, everyone present suddenly felt something strange—the close connection between them and their own artifact spirits had vanished without a trace!
Before they could recover from their shock, Ji Lin was already standing directly opposite them.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a slightly mocking smile, and said loudly, "Thank you all for your generous gift of artifact spirits. Don't worry, I will definitely keep them safe for you."
Before he could finish speaking, Ji Lin suddenly raised his left hand, and an extremely strong energy fluctuation suddenly condensed in his palm.
"Dragon Blast!" As Ji Lin uttered these three powerful words, the Dragon Talisman's immense power surged forth like a ferocious, roaring dragon, hurtling straight towards Shi Luan and the others.
In an instant, a deafening roar resounded, the entire space seemed to tremble, and thick smoke billowed out.
As the smoke gradually dissipated, Ji Lin was convinced that Shi Luan and his group must have been annihilated by this terrifying attack.
But at that moment, something unexpected happened—a dazzling energy shield suddenly appeared before Ji Lin's eyes.
Behind the transparent shield stood a mysterious figure dressed in a black robe, whose face was completely obscured by the robe.
A moment later, the man in black robes slowly removed the sturdy energy shield, uttering a low, hoarse voice: "Young man, such a strong desire to kill is not a good thing..."
