Chapter 1326: Ji the Beauty
The surroundings remained silent, with no response.
Lin Chen felt a chill continuously flowing into his body from the air around him, creating an oppressive atmosphere.
"Hmph! Petty tricks!"
Lin Chen snorted coldly, a wave of fire emanating from his body.
Fixing his gaze on the rippling fluctuations ahead, Lin Chen scoffed, "How long do you intend to hide? Are you a spineless turtle?"
"So you're Lin Chen, arrogant as expected."
An icy and seductive voice suddenly emerged from the air, as a figure slowly walked out from the snow.
The figure seemed distant but appeared in front of Lin Chen in just a few swift movements.
"This isn't a place for you. Go back," the person said coldly.
Lin Chen's gaze slightly hardened as he stared at the figure walking slowly through the snowflakes.
The man, dressed in tight clothing, walked towards him with a feline gait, holding a small flower-patterned umbrella.
Although he was a man, he was dressed like a woman and walked in a manner indistinguishable from a woman's.
Especially that lean face, lightly covered with foundation, small eyes lined thickly, thin razor-sharp lips coated in lipstick as red as blood.
Looking at this peculiar man, Lin Chen felt a nauseating sensation.
However, as the somewhat effeminate man approached, Lin Chen felt a growing sense of danger within.
"Are you one of Yuan Tiangang's people?"
"Haha, you're talking about the master, right? That's correct, I am indeed his disciple, tasked with guarding this place. My name is Ji Beautician."
"Pfft!" Lin Chen nearly burst out laughing upon hearing that.
"You dare call yourself a beauty? You have quite the thick skin! Don't disgust me anymore." Lin Chen had always thought he had a thick skin, but compared to this person in front of him, there was simply no comparison.
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Ji Beautician's gaze turned cold, "Do you know? What I hate most is people who mock me. Those who dare mock me must die."
Lin Chen snickered, "Is that so? You have the right to be disgusting yourself, but when you come to disgust others, that's your wrongdoing."
"Lin Chen, be careful with this guy. He's an illusionist capable of creating Illusion Array attributes," Xiao Shuai reminded.
In this world, one in ten thousand people experience bodily mutations, igniting various human potentials.
An illusionist capable of creating illusions is a rarity among millions.
This talent possesses powerful destructive force, as within the Illusion Array, he reigns supreme.
Illusionist powers are highly valued in various global forces because, through Illusion Arrays, they can create different barriers, whether for guarding homes or setting up formations to kill, they are potent weapons.
The Ji Beautician in front of us may only have the initial Void God Realm strength, but within the illusion, his strength can reach the peak of the True God Realm.
"I'm surprised that at such a young age you possess this talent, but unfortunately, in my Illusion Array, you are nothing," Ji Beautician's voice was icy with a touch of femininity, although he had a man's appearance, his voice was that of a woman, causing Lin Chen's skin to crawl.
"Is that so? Then we can try," Lin Chen coldly replied as he stared at Ji Beautician.
"This is the Illusion Array I carefully arranged for you, since you've reached here, this is your grave. Don't think those outside can help you, they will never know what's happening within the Illusion Array until you're dead," Ji Beautician coldly stated.
"Really? Do you think this pathetic array can trap me?"
Lin Chen's eyes bore a chill, as energy inside him gently surged.
"Surely arrogant enough, since you seek death, I shall fulfill your wish."
Ji Beautician snickered, his slender fingers raised and suddenly grabbed in the air.
Just as the snowflakes rapidly gathered in the air, releasing icy energies.
"Today I'll let you taste what it's like to be cut into a thousand pieces."
As the words fell, the endless snowflakes swiftly gathered, forming blades that swooped down towards Lin Chen.
Lin Chen looked at the sharp snowflakes, akin to blades, and was secretly surprised.
This was his first battle against an illusionist, indeed bizarre, clearly only Void God Realm, yet able to wield combat power of a True God Realm warrior.
Light Shield!
Lin Chen's body shot backward, a wave of light appeared before him, shielding his body.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
In the blink of an eye, those blade-like ice shards pierced through the air and slammed heavily into the Light Shield.
Lin Chen's Light Shield began to shake violently under the pounding of ice shards, cracks appearing on the light's surface.
According to Ji Beautician's real strength, he couldn't possibly inflict such damage on Lin Chen's Light Shield.
Yet, within the Illusion Array, his destructive power was infinitely magnified, even surpassing the peak of the True God Realm.
"Damn, this Illusion Array is indeed abnormal, I can't continue to be passively attacked like this, I need to find a way to break the array."
Lin Chen frowned slightly as he looked at the shattered Light Shield on the light's surface.
He clearly understood that Ji Beautician's formidable strength was due to the augmentation of the Illusion Array, once broken, Ji Beautician's Void God Realm strength would be no match for Lin Chen.
However, the might of an illusionist lies in creating arrays from the heart, making breaking the array exceedingly difficult.
Lin Chen continuously poured energies into the Light Shield, contemplating his strategy.
Though an illusionist can create arrays at will, with Ji Beautician's Void God Realm strength, controlling this array is fundamentally impossible.
This means Ji Beautician must rely on external forces to continually replenish energy.
The source of this energy was the jade bracelet on Ji Beautician's wrist.
Ji Beautician wore a woman's robe, wide sleeves covering his wrist, but Lin Chen's x-ray vision clearly saw streams of energy continually being supplied to the array from Ji Beautician's bracelet.
"So it's that bracelet," Lin Chen's gaze sharpened.
Ji Beautician wore the wide robe to conceal the bracelet on his wrist.
After all, it's his weakness, and if it weren't for Lin Chen's x-ray vision, it would be difficult to discover the secret within his sleeve.
In Ji Beautician's mind, this disguise was supposedly flawless, he hadn't imagined Lin Chen already uncovered his vulnerability.
Ji Beautician's excessive confidence provided Lin Chen an opportunity to break the array.
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, the Light Shield before Lin Chen finally shattered under the growing snowflakes.
"Boom!"
Swirling ice shards hurtled towards Lin Chen.
But just as the ice shards approached Lin Chen, they were melted by a surge of flames, and Lin Chen, like a man on fire, launched towards Ji Beautician with a powerful stride.
