I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 867: Chapter 867: Farewell

The loss of control caused by carelessness was beyond Wo Zhiqi’s expectation.

He never expected that a mere Nine Netherworld thug would dare to play so many deceitful tricks in front of him.

Using Lin Yi’s body to reappear in this world can indeed harness part of Wo Zhiqi’s power in his lifetime, but wanting to defeat the old ghost without any contact and save Lin You from his grasp is truly a particularly difficult task.

”How about it, let me go!”

”I’ll let the young lady live.”

The situation turned worse, somewhat unexpectedly for Wo Zhiqi.

Lin You, also known as Qin Xinxin, is the young lady of the Nine Netherworld. It was simply outrageous that an old ghost, as a servant, dared to lay hands on her.

Calming down and thinking it over, there is something wrong with the situation in the Nine Netherworld.

”What can you use to save her? Your skills have no effect on him. If you want that girl Lin You to live, the best way is to compromise.”

”Moreover, the ruthlessness with which this old guy acts doesn’t seem to be pretended, and all the signs indicate that we have stepped into a trap, and it’s a big one.”

Hearing these words, Lin Yi instantly calmed down.

Indeed, this feeling of unease had been there from the beginning, but Lin Yi had always regarded it as a bad premonition and hadn’t paid it any attention.

Now, thinking it through clearly and linking all the strange things together for a detailed analysis, the problem was indeed grave.

Qin Guang knew the whereabouts of Lin Yi and his group, yet he did nothing to stop them.

As the Lord of the Nine Netherworld, Qin Zhu hadn’t detected an intrusion into the Eighteenth Layer of Hell. Does this align with his established power?

Nothing was right anywhere.

”Leave it to me!”

The black aura entwining Lin Yi’s body was withdrawn into him.

With a beckon, ”Lin Yi” called back the black Hou.

At this moment, Lin Yi’s face became extraordinarily somber.

Having survived in the world for so many years, it was the first time Wo Zhiqi was threatened by someone, which was the greatest insult to him.

At this moment, even without Lin Yi’s plea, if conditions permitted, he would exert himself to the utmost to kill the old ghost.

”I’ve shown my sincerity. Release her and leave quickly; I promise I won’t pursue you.”

Even though Wo Zhiqi suppressed his anger, the icy killing intent in his words couldn’t be concealed by any means.

Conforming to others for so many years, the old ghost, who was well-versed in the ways of the world, could naturally sense Wo Zhiqi’s determination to kill him.

”Well, with your permission, I can rest assured, since you’ve shown your sincerity, then I will too!”

The old ghost’s normally timid face twisted instantly.

He showed no hesitation in revealing his killing intent, drawing a dagger exuding black aura from his spatial pocket and stabbing it into Lin You’s back.

Once fully recovered, Lin You’s body strength reached quite a level. Even if the old ghost were stronger than Lin You, it wouldn’t have been so easy to pierce her body with an ordinary blade.

Everything happened too suddenly, even Wo Zhiqi couldn’t have foreseen it.

”Haha, try killing me in the next life!”

A maniacal and sinister laughter echoed through the Nine Nether Undercurrent, like sharp swords plunging into Lin Yi’s chest.

The sudden paleness on Lin You’s face hit Lin Yi’s mind like an electric shock.

Since becoming a War God, Lin Yi controlled everything.

He knew this mission would be difficult, but he never imagined it could reach such a level of difficulty.

The old ghost, sneeringly, withdrew the dagger from Lin You’s back, and before the controlled Lin Yi and the black Hou could attack him, he kicked the pale and powerless Lin You towards Lin Yi.

In her weakened state, Lin You was utterly unable to withstand the erosion of the Nine Nether currents. The polluted waters of the Nine Netherworld immediately began to encase her body.

Despite the intense killing intent at Wo Zhiqi’s peak, he couldn’t ignore Lin You and attack the old ghost, so he swiftly rushed towards Lin You, catching her and increasing the output of Divine Power, enveloping her completely.

”Hang on.”

Lin Yi temporarily regained control of his body, immediately checking Lin You’s current state.

The blood-red eyes reflected the weak person before him, transmitting the image to Lin Qianqian in the Undead Space.

Amid the Undead Space, she finally repented and shouted madly for the name of the barrier within the Undead Space.

But unfortunately, at this time, Lin You had already severed her connection with the Undead Space, unable to hear any of the sounds within.

It was also at this moment that she finally saw clearly the true nature of the family she supported.

The old ghost’s short blade, how could it be an ordinary small dagger? It was the Soul-breaking Blade that Qin Guang spent millennia crafting.

This was why Lin You became so weakened after taking that stab.

[Eye of All-Seeing] can see through everything, let alone Lin You’s information, as it is open to him.

He was more than clear about Lin You’s condition.

The short blade the old ghost had just wielded was no ordinary item. The instant it pierced her, Lin You’s life force and Divine Power were drained completely.

Lin You smiled faintly. The physical pain didn’t rob her of her senses. With sticky hands, she touched Lin Yi’s face.

”This time, I fear I won’t be able to complete the mission with you.”

Lin Yi didn’t want to hear such dispirited words. Just as he was about to speak and interrupt Lin You, she covered his mouth first.

”The Elegy of the Soul is my Lifebound Weapon; it will take you higher and further.”

Lin You’s voice was very weak, but her words carried an irrefutable momentum.

She used what little strength she had left to retrieve the Elegy of the Soul that had dropped into the Nine Nether River, pulling it back to her side.

Lin Yi was keenly aware of Lin You’s condition.

He thought of using the Immortal Law and Creation Law to save her, but the old ghost’s Divine Power was beyond his ability to contend with.

Aside from accepting the Elegy of the Soul handed to him by Lin You with reddened eyes, there was nothing more he could do.

”Lin Yi, you must make it out alive.”

Among the Three Realms and Six Paths, the most beautiful words are the final wishes.

In this last moment of her life, Lin You was still concerned about him, Lin Yi.

When Lin Yi grasped the Elegy of the Soul, Lin You’s hand finally dropped, and from that moment on, the weight of the person in his arms began to rapidly lighten until she transformed into a stream of Spiritual Qi in front of Lin Yi, entering the Elegy of the Soul.

Crack, crack, crack~

The black-and-gray Elegy of the Soul emitted a crisp cracking sound.

Immediately, densely packed bright cracks crept all over the weapon.

As the bright cracks increased and widened, the black outer layer of the Elegy of the Soul began to fall off in pieces, revealing the silvery shimmering parts inside.

When he first obtained this weapon, he was told that by killing, this weapon could continue to evolve, grow, and enhance attribute values.

But every time he defeated an enemy, the Elegy of the Soul only increased in numbers. After acquiring the Infinite Ball, this passive growth seemed to lose its meaning.
