Chapter 117 Suffocation
Lin Shao left for a while and came back with a food box in his hand. Even with the lid closed, the aroma of food could still be smelled from the gap.
Cheng Shuyan is just a mortal now, and he hasn't eaten for many days, so he can't help but salivate at the aroma.
"hungry?"
Lin Shao put her down with a gentle smile and helped her sit at the stone table beside him.
Behind him, the underground river flows slowly, making a gurgling sound.
He opened the food box and placed the food in front of her one by one. Then he handed her the chopsticks and said softly:
"Yining, eat something first. When you have recovered some strength, take me to find Lin Zhi, okay?"
Cheng Shuyan took the chopsticks, looked up at him slightly, put down the chopsticks, and forced himself to stand up.
Seeing this, Lin Shao's expression suddenly became panicked. He quickly stood up and tried to hold her hand, but he only grabbed a piece of her clothes.
Cheng Shuyan was already standing by the dark river. She turned her head to look at Lin Shao with a faint smile on her lips.
"Fellow Daoist Lin Shao, now that you are able to see your old friend again, do you feel any comfort in your heart?"
She revealed her cards, and the panic on Lin Shao's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a suppressed anger.
He stared at Cheng Shuyan steadily, loosened his grip on her clothes, and asked calmly, "When did you wake up?"
"It's been a few days." Cheng Shuyan answered without hesitation.
"So what if you wake up? You can only be trapped here. Use her identity to accompany me to see everything in Linjia Village!"
He suddenly became angry and looked extremely ferocious, but Cheng Shuyan was not afraid at all.
"is it?"
The curve of her mouth became wider, and her smile was particularly gentle. Then, she said to Lin Shao with the face that belonged to Zhang Yining:
"A Shao, goodbye..."
Lin Shao suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He reached out in a hurry to grab Cheng Shuyan, but it was too late.
In the illusion, even if Lin Shao was just a mortal, without the means of a cultivator, how could he stop Cheng Shuyan?
The moment he stretched out his hand, Cheng Shuyan turned around and resolutely jumped into the underground river.
The freezing cold river water kept pouring into her lungs, causing her unbearable pain, and the intense feeling of suffocation almost made her lose consciousness.
Just when she thought she guessed wrong, she suddenly woke up the next moment.
The terrifying and real feeling of suffocation just now made her gasp for breath. As she woke up, the others also woke up one after another.
Shen Yunjian was right next to her. When he woke up, there was still some confusion in his eyes.
Cheng Shuyan knew that he had made the right bet!
There is always a way out in every formation. As long as you find the location of this way out, you can break out of the formation.
Ever since Lin Shao appeared in the dungeon and called her "Yining", she guessed that the key to breaking the deadlock might be "Zhang Yining".
She could see that Lin Shao had feelings for Zhang Yining. The real Zhang Yining was dead. Perhaps, Lin Shao would put his hope of survival on "Zhang Yining".
He wanted Zhang Yining to be alive to make up for his past regrets, so she took a gamble.
As long as Cheng Shuyan dies as Zhang Yining, Lin Shao's formation will naturally collapse.
It turned out to be just as it was, the formation was broken, and everyone started to wake up one after another.
In fact, Lin Shao's formation was extremely dangerous. If Qi Tianjing had not realized that she was in danger and woke her up.
If someone else became the "Zhang Yining" in the illusion, it would be difficult for them to wake up. By then, all of them would be trapped to death in the illusion.
Perhaps it was because of the bond between her and Lin Zhi that she became his mother in the illusion, which allowed her to break out of the predicament.
Lin Shao also woke up. He looked at Cheng Shuyan with resentment, and his aura rose steadily. In a blink of an eye, he revealed the pressure of the Nascent Soul stage.
Two Yuanying stage cultivators from Zixiao Sect also came. They woke up at this moment and looked at Lin Shao, who was also in the Yuanying stage, with some surprise and uncertainty in their eyes.
"Who are you? How dare you set up this situation to harm your fellow cultivators!" One of the Nascent Soul cultivators glared at Lin Shao and questioned.
Lin Shao just sneered and ignored his words. Instead, he raised his head in the direction of Cheng Shuyan and made a grasping gesture.
Cheng Shuyan's body suddenly flew into the air uncontrollably, and his neck seemed to be tightly pinched by an invisible big hand, and a strong feeling of suffocation came again.
The suffocating feeling that Lin Shao gave her was countless times stronger than that given to Chu Yi before. Her face turned red because she couldn't breathe.
"Let her go!"
Shen Yunjian was extremely anxious, and suddenly a small tripod appeared in his hand. He dodged and appeared in front of Lin Shao the next moment.
He was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, no different from a baby in front of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Lin Shao just waved his hand lightly at him, and he was thrown several feet away and hit the stone wall behind him.
The strong impact made his whole body feel like it was shattered, and he kept vomiting mouthfuls of blood.
Seeing this, Chi Xu quickly helped him up and fed him several pills, which temporarily stabilized his injuries.
"Fellow Daoist Cheng, oh Fellow Daoist Cheng, it is a blessing for you to be able to temporarily possess her identity. I didn't want to kill you.
As long as you use her identity to accompany me to the end, I may not be unwilling to treat you as I am, but why... do you have to ruin my plans!!!"
As Lin Shao finished speaking, his tone became increasingly harsh, and even his expression became distorted.
He's going to kill her!
Cheng Shuyan came to this conclusion from the changes in his entire personality.
He grabbed her neck and made intermittent "ho ho" sounds in her throat.
The two Nascent Soul cultivators were also a little anxious when they saw this. After all, Lin Shao was holding a hostage in his hand. They couldn't act rashly in public, so they could only persuade him kindly:
"Release this young man, and we will spare your life! Otherwise, you will be torn to pieces and your soul will be shattered!"
"Heh..." Lin Shao sneered, glanced at the two of them nonchalantly and said, "Just you two?"
He gently closed his eyes and murmured to himself: "Yining, I'll let her accompany you..."
The hand that he used to control Cheng Shuyan moved slightly, and was about to break her neck. Cheng Shuyan finally took advantage of this opportunity to activate the talisman that Jiang Hongyue had given her.
The talisman in her hand glowed brightly, and a huge hammer shadow appeared from the talisman and smashed straight towards Lin Shao.
This was an attack that contained 20% of the attack power of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. Even Lin Shao, who was also in the Nascent Soul Realm, did not dare to underestimate it.
He quickly released his hold on Cheng Shuyan. At the same time, a flute flew out from his dantian and collided with the giant hammer.
The hammer shadow was instantly shattered by the flute, but Cheng Shuyan also escaped from his control.
Taking advantage of this moment, she quickly summoned the Wind Shadow Wings and flew towards the two Nascent Soul cultivators.
