Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 890 Zhang Lingyu's Battle Against His Inner Demon

Zhuge Qing's Tortoise-Fly Body technique was not used on himself, but rather on Xia He as well.

At this moment, Xia He was in a strange state. Her mind was still cut off from the world and disconnected from the surrounding environment, in a state of stillness. However, her body was affected by the tortoise-fly body and began to age thousands of times faster.

As we all know, the human body is controlled by the brain; if the brain's nerve signals cannot be transmitted to the body, the body cannot move. This is precisely the ingenious application of Qimen Dunjia techniques by He Songling, as the lifelong honorary president of Trinity University, in a manner consistent with the university's style.

By using methods to separate mind from body, Xia He could only watch helplessly as her body aged, unable to move within the chaotic golden clapper's domain using the tortoise-fly body.

Soon, Xia He's body aged from her early twenties to over sixty. Her skin was no longer smooth, her hair began to dry, and her figure became somewhat hunched. Because she no longer had the involvement of thought, even her large eyes began to become cloudy and yellowish.

"Xia He!"

Zhang Lingyu was taken aback. Even though he knew that He Songling could restore them from any changes or even death that occurred within this space, as a man, he couldn't just remain completely indifferent.

Zhang Lingyu didn't want his girlfriend to turn into an old lady just because he had faced his own heart and decided to be with Xia He. People who didn't know better would think that Zhang Lingyu was dating a rich woman and playing with steel wool.

At this moment, Zhang Lingyu no longer cared about the shackles in his heart. He raised his hand and nine thunder talismans appeared in the void, which he then used to bombard Zhuge Qing.

"Ninefold Thunder Talisman!"

Zhang Lingyu had learned his lesson and did not directly attack the Zhuge Qing he could see, because he knew that was not Zhuge Qing's true location.

But it doesn't matter. Perhaps outside, his current strength is not enough to deal with things calmly, but in He Songling's Time Chamber, Zhang Lingyu has already discovered his advantages.

"Please, Master, come to me!"

Zhang Daoling's Contemplation Painting.

The image of Zhang Tianshi appearing in her mind, holding a sword and a seal, performing the ritual of the Big Dipper, the mysterious trajectory allowing Zhang Lingyu to see through some illusions.

"Found you!" Although Zhang Lingyu didn't understand Qimen magic, he was still from the Xuanmen school and knew that setting up formations required circulating Qi. Visualizing his ancestor Zhang Daoling, under the influence of the Purifying Heart Mantra, he focused his mind and calmed his breath, instantly seeing through the Qi circulation nodes of the two formations. Nine layers of lightning struck these nodes respectively.

"The idea is good, but unfortunately, my array diagram can also change."

The ability to manipulate four plates at will is considered quite basic in advanced magical arts. In other words, what only Feng Hou Qi Men could do in the original work can now be accomplished by at least three other magical arts thanks to He Songling's intervention.

The Qimen Formation after the Wind, the Qimen Formation after Reversal, and the Qimen Formation currently used by Zhuge Qing.

He casually manipulated the array plate, and in the nick of time, replaced the weak points of the Qi circulation with the indestructible center of the spell-activating array. The sorcerer's calculations were so precise that Zhang Lingyu had no time to change his move and could only watch helplessly as his lightning disappeared like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

"Got you!"

Zhang Lingyu was, after all, Zhang Zhiwei's last disciple, so his combat intelligence wasn't that low.

The Tongtian Talisman is useful, but it's still someone else's possession. Only what you have on your own body truly belongs to you.

"Wandering Earthworm Thunder!"

The black, dark lightning transformed into a writhing worm, attacking Zhuge Qing, who had just finished manipulating the four discs and revealed his true form. This was Zhang Lingyu's scheme; after all, you had to reveal yourself after manipulating the four discs, right?
Immediately, golden light emanated from his body, making him look like a small golden man, and he rushed towards the cross-dressing master, the inner demon Zhuge Qing.

"Clang!" The two bodies collided, preventing the inner demon Zhuge Qing from rescuing the main body.

"Seriously, Zhang Lingyu, what are you doing here?" The inner demon Zhuge Qing showed no annoyance at being stopped, but instead gave a wicked smile. "You didn't actually think I was going to save that annoying guy, did you?"

“Nothing I say will help.” Zhang Lingyu indicated that she wouldn’t listen to the nonsense from her inner demons and was determined to attack them.

It's a simple principle: no matter how strong the inner demon is, it can never be stronger than the original body, otherwise Zhuge Qing wouldn't have been able to control it. Therefore, it's definitely easier to subdue the inner demon first. Once the inner demon is subdued, the two-on-one fight becomes one-on-one, greatly reducing the pressure on Zhang Lingyu.

Tons of Yin Lightning poured into the body of the inner demon Zhuge Qing in front of him. However, instead of feeling weak from the Yin Lightning, Zhuge Qing's smile became even more unrestrained. Zhang Lingyu felt the power of his protective golden light spell growing stronger and stronger.

"Zhang Lingyu, you're stupid."

After a brief stalemate, the inner demon Zhuge Qing seemed to finally find satisfaction and let out a comfortable sigh.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Lingyu was taken aback, then realized that the power of this inner demon was growing stronger and stronger, actually pushing her back continuously.

"Grandpa's in a good mood today, so I won't let you guess the riddles."

The inner demon Zhuge Qing sneered: "Do you know what I am? An inner demon! The three corpses that old bastard surnamed He stirred up are all filthy combinations of darkness, negativity, soul-corroding, and bone-destroying, just like your Water-Dirty Thunder, but much purer. When you inject Yin Thunder into someone else's body, you weaken their Qi meridians; but when you inject Yin Thunder into me, isn't that just recharging me?"

"Damn it!" Zhang Lingyu realized what mistake she had made. This was quite normal. Under normal circumstances, a demon in the heart is a demon in the heart. Who has experience fighting such a thing? The Three Corpses are even rarer. The Three Demons Sect is a small sect and has almost lost its lineage.

Even his master, Zhang Zhiwei, was only awakened by the Three Corpses for the first time when he fought with Tu Junfang after the Celestial Master descended the mountain.

However, Zhang Zhiwei's cultivation level was too high. The three corpses that had just been activated were squeezed into gas by him and directly dissipated into the world. He also casually beat Tu Junfang, one of the top three strongest people in the Quanxing Sect in the contemporary era, leaving him paralyzed from the eyebrows down.

But Zhang Lingyu clearly didn't have that ability.

"die!"

However, Zhang Lingyu truly lived up to his reputation as the Celestial Master's personal disciple. He reacted with lightning speed, immediately activating the Golden Light Mantra to its maximum, condensing it into a sharp blade. With his palm edge like a knife, he slashed down with all his might at the inner demon Zhuge Qing.

Even at the same time, his left hand was drawing talismans in mid-air, using talismans that amplified sharpness and power to enhance his Golden Light Spell.

Normally, Zhang Lingyu might not be able to multitask, but now, relying on the ever-present Zhang Daoling visualization diagram, he can easily do things that he couldn't do before.

but……

"Clang!"

A black, sharp blade blocked Zhang Lingyu's hand.
