Chapter 1883 - 1880: Captured (Part 1)
The woman in the white dress had soft hands, which felt comfortable when touched, but Lin Tian had no intention of enjoying it and instead turned around decisively, punching out without any intention of sparing her.
"Little handsome guy, quick reaction, hee hee hee..." The woman in the white dress wasn’t surprised by Lin Tian’s reaction; instead, she teased him.
The woman slightly blocked Lin Tian’s fist with her hand, and her body floated back like a feather, the fierce punch wind fluttering her clothes, making her seem like a fairy. Lin Tian felt as if his punch had landed in cotton, completely deprived of strength.
"Who are you?" Lin Tian said expressionlessly, coldly.
"Don’t be so fierce; I’m really scared..." The woman in white made a frightened expression, but immediately her face changed, coldly saying, "Want to know who I am? You’ll know once I capture you."
This expression showcased the queen of a hundred changes, never the same for more than three seconds—from the elegant beauty arranging flowerbeds to the playful seductive woman, then to the ethereal fairy, and finally to the cool mature woman.
Lin Tian almost suspected if this woman had mental problems; how else could she switch so many personalities in such a short time?
It’s very possible for a woman living in seclusion here to develop some mental issues due to loneliness and isolation. However, saying she wants to capture him, Lin Tian didn’t mind; few could capture him alive now, unless he didn’t resist.
The woman in the white dress clasped her hands together, made a seal, and then touched the ground, with mysterious light emerging from the ground. A Tai Chi pattern appeared under Lin Tian’s feet.
Lin Tian lifted his foot to rush out but found himself trapped, like falling into a swamp, sinking deeper the more he struggled.
"It’s useless; my formation gets stronger when met with strength. The more you use force, the more the formation absorbs your energy for its use. Little handsome guy, just be good and don’t move around, or big sister will spank your butt." The woman in the white dress giggled, her tone unlike that of a normal woman.
Damn, since when would I be threatened with spanked butt; I only ever spank beautiful women’s butts, Lin Tian cursed to himself, feeling his bad luck lately, encountering such a strange woman.
However, misfortune aside, surrendering without a fight was not Lin Tian’s style. He clenched his right fist, and punched again.
Meteor Burst!!
Using point to break surface is a martial arts skill, while Meteor Burst focuses on explosive force, most effective against barriers, unleashing unmatched power.
Boom...
An ear-piercing loud noise erupted as Lin Tian’s fist collided with the transparent barrier, with visible ripples rapidly spreading from the point of impact, but all the energy from the collision was absorbed by the barrier, leaving the surrounding flower stands and trees untouched.
The Tai Chi diagram underfoot spun fiercely, transformed, divided, Yin Yang fish turning into four symbols, four symbols turning into Eight Trigrams, in the blink of an eye transforming into the Eight Trigrams Array.
"Such powerful force! The energy from a single punch could elevate the Eight Diagrams Demon Sealing Array, but it’s still useless, big sister won’t lie to you; no matter how hard you try, you can’t break my barrier." The woman in a white dress appeared surprised, but there seemed more pretense, as she had more confidence in her barrier.
"Then I’ll shatter it into eight pieces!" Lin Tian snorted coldly, alternately punching with both fists, almost without pause, quick enough to create a blur of punch shadows, pure strength, each punch carrying the power of Meteor Burst.
Bang... Bang... Bang...
Violent energy turbulence ravaged the small space, within a few breaths, Lin Tian didn’t know how many punches he had thrown, releasing energy sufficient to collapse a building.
But the barrier before him flashed crazily, showing no sign of breaking, and the eight pieces Lin Tian spoke of didn’t appear.
The woman in the white dress watched Lin Tian’s frenzied fists, her eyes glowing, laughed again when Lin Tian finally stopped: "Hee hee, I told you, it’s useless, above the Eight Diagrams Demon Sealing is the Nine Heavens, Nine Heavens above are Tenfold Samsara; even if you exhaust yourself, you can’t open the barrier."
Lin Tian calmed a little, re-examining the white-haired woman before him, after a while, he asked coldly: "Are you from the Zhang Family?"
"Oh?" The woman in the white dress finally expressed surprise, then walked towards Lin Tian: "How did you figure it out?"
This question confirmed Lin Tian’s guess; she was indeed a member of the Zhang Family. But how could the Zhang Family have such an odd woman?
Regardless, knowing she was from the Zhang Family, Lin Tian let out a sigh of relief, as he came looking for them; at least he didn’t have to resort to violence next.
"I’ve seen Zhang Family members use the Eight Diagrams Demon Sealing Array." Lin Tian answered truthfully.
"Oh, is it? I didn’t expect such a handsome little guy to lie and deceive; big sister is very angry, the consequences are serious!" The woman in white changed her expression again, from alluring smile to a stern icy block, the clear skies turned cloudy in just a second.
Only to see the woman forming seals with her hands again, the wind suddenly kicked up around, her clothes fluttering, her white hair flying with the wind.
Strange screeching sounds emitted from around the wooden house, then, in Lin Tian’s surprised gaze, those flower vines grew wildly, entwining into four larger flower vines.
The vines were thick, with sharp thorns, undoubtedly the vines would pierce countless holes in anyone they entangled.
The four massive flower vines plunged into the ground, continued to grow crazily, suddenly, boom boom boom boom, four explosions occurred, the ground around Lin Tian suddenly burst, and the flower vines broke through, wrapping tightly around his limbs, then pulling him into the air in a large cross shape. Worse, the thorns on the vines pierced into his flesh and muscles suddenly.
Not knowing what kind of vine or thorns these were, the body of a knife-and-bullet-proof zombie was actually pierced by the thorns. Pain, long forgotten, suddenly spread through his body; Lin Tian nearly cried out.
Physical pain was something Lin Tian could endure, but the weird thorns also, inexplicably, caused sharp pain in his heart, like someone stabbing his heart with needles until it was riddled with holes.
Any power he had accumulated to break the vines vanished completely.
"Hahaha... the feeling of body and heart pain is unpleasant, huh? You made me suffer before, now, I will make you taste what pain feels like! This is the Heartless Flower I’ve carefully cultivated, watered daily with Black Mandala’s juice; its thorns will make you wish for death!"
The woman in a white dress laughed loudly, but in her laughter was no joy, only deep sadness.
Lin Tian, regardless of the pain, frowned and said: "Miss, you need to understand, this is our first encounter; when did I harm you?"
