Chapter 144: Turned into a Cat
The twin blades in Lin Zhijing's hands suddenly transformed into crimson-black chains, which sprang longer and wrapped around the orc, weaving left and right, as if creating an airtight iron cage to trap him inside.

As the iron cage shrank, the orc's expression remained unchanged. Flames burst forth from within, as if every pore was a flamethrower, continuously gathering fire.

The flames intertwined with the chains like venomous snakes, resisting each other; the chains tried to bind the flames, while the flames tried to melt the chains.

Neither of them could defeat the other for a while, which made Ye Xi'an a little anxious. She rolled her eyes and whispered in Ji Jiangci's ear, "Ji Jiangci, are you confident that you can kill this orc in one move?"

Ji Jiangci raised an eyebrow, looking down at Ye Xi'an in surprise: "Are you asking me to launch a sneak attack?"

"Shh!" Ye Xi'an frowned and lowered her voice to a whisper, "What if he hears you speaking so loudly!"

Ye Xi'an glanced at the orc who was fighting fiercely with Lin Zhijing, and made sure he hadn't heard before continuing to talk to Ji Jiangci: "So, are you even capable or not?"

"Of course, Yiyang, you take good care of your wife."

Yi Yang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, even if I die, I won't let my wife get a single hair out of her body."

Ji Jiangci knew that his superpower level was lower than that of the orc, so he had to concentrate all his power to have any chance of hurting him.

With his eyes closed, he activated his supernatural power. Under the surface, unseen by others, a dense network of plant roots rapidly expanded and grew. When these roots almost filled the entire underground area, Ji Jiangci's supernatural power was almost depleted.

Having exhausted his last bit of supernatural power, the roots of the plant burst forth from the ground, blotting out the sky. Before anyone could react, including the orc who was fiercely fighting with Lin Zhijing, the vines had already wrapped around his hands and feet.

Although he reacted quickly and used flames to burn off the roots in time, the roots seemed endless, and a new batch would appear as soon as one batch was burned.

Lin Zhijing seized the opportunity and immediately made his move. The orc, who had been pretending to be profound, finally showed a hint of panic.

He shouted into the bushes, "Aren't you coming out yet!"

Unlike his orcish appearance, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, as if it had been corroded by sulfuric acid.

There was a rustling sound from the bushes, but no one came out. Ji Jiangci sneered and manipulated his supernatural power to make the bushes move away on their own, revealing the orcs who had been bound by chains.

They crawled on the ground like caterpillars, with metal gags tied between their mouths, so they could only whimper and couldn't speak at all.

Ye Xi'an's lips twitched. So this is how superpowers can conjure up such exquisite things.

Seeing that his last method had been countered, the orc was so angry that he could hardly control his expression. His already gloomy face now showed black smoke coming out of his pores.

He shouted, clearly ready to fight to the death. First, he unleashed a flame from his palm to block Lin Zhijing's attack, then he transformed his palm into a fiery fist, the flame faintly revealing a blue hue.

Lin Zhijing's heart skipped a beat. This orc's ability was about to be upgraded. It had to be said that this was an orc with exceptional talent.

Ji Jiangci and Bo Jing also noticed it, only Yi Yang, who had never upgraded, and Ye Xi'an, who upgraded in a daze, couldn't see it.

Bo Jing struggled to his feet and, with Ye Xi'an's help, staggered to Ji Jiangci's side: "Let me help you!"

Wind blades were embedded in the roots, constantly seeking opportunities to ambush the orc, leaving several minor wounds on his body.

Bo Jing frowned. His ability was still too weak against a level seven ability user; even Ji Jiangci, a level three, seemed more useful. "Bo Jing, hit his left knee!"

Ye Xi'an suddenly said that she saw the white light again, and that white light was now on his knees.

Bo Jing didn't ask any questions and did exactly as Ye Xi'an said. A violent gust of wind slammed into the orc's knee, and a scream instantly rang out.

"There's hope!" Bo Jing's eyes flashed with surprise as he looked at Ye Xi'an: "An'an, you're amazing!"

Ye Xi'an blushed at the praise and waved her hand shyly, "I'm not that amazing."

Seeing that Bo Jing's wind blades could hit his knees, Lin Zhijing realized that this was the orc's weakness. So, before Bo Jing fully upgraded, he concentrated his strength and attacked only his knees.

The orcs suffered repeated defeats, eventually becoming quite exasperated.

"You're ganging up on us! Have you no shame?!"

Lin Zhijing scoffed. How dare he use the phrase "bullying the weak with the many"?
"You're the most shameless one. You were the one who caused that incident on the train, weren't you? And now you dare to lead people to ambush us. Be careful next time."

Lin Zhijing gathered his strength, preparing to deliver the final blow. Just then, the sky suddenly darkened, but this did not stop Lin Zhijing from continuing his exquisite killing move.

Lin Zhijing calls this move "Rain of Flowers," which uses his supernatural ability to create countless golden needles in the sky. When they fall, they resemble a shower of scattered flowers, dazzling and powerful, but it consumes a lot of supernatural energy.

The sky was now dark, and the golden needles shone with a dazzling light, like fireworks fading and shooting stars chasing the moon.

The golden needle pierced the orc's body. With one last unwilling turn of his head, he looked at Ye Xi'an and told her his name: "My name is Gu Xu!" before he breathed his last.

But Ye Xi'an didn't hear him at all, because they had a problem on their end.

As dusk fell, many beautiful and lovely flowers sprouted from the grass. The flowers were pale in color with a pinkish hue, and the petals looked like they were made of moonlight, emitting a soft moonlight. Many sparkling points of light also floated out from the flower stamens.

Ye Xi'an originally thought that these should be similar to that Lingmeng Flower, except that they are pollen that refracts light.

But when these light spots landed on the skin, they instantly merged into the body. As more and more merged in, everyone began to feel something was wrong.

My consciousness became hazy, and it felt as if the world was being torn apart to create a new one.

Bo Jing and Yi Yang were alright, at least they had their superpowers protecting them. Ji Jiangci was in a worse situation. His superpowers were completely used up, and he couldn't protect himself at all. He even fell down before Ye Xi'an.

The moment he collapsed, Ye Xi'an caught him, and a strand of spiritual energy spontaneously emerged from Ye Xi'an's body and wrapped around Ji Jiangci's wrist.

The next second, both of them passed out, and Lin Zhijing was busy killing Gu Xu and didn't have time to pay attention to the situation here.

In a daze, Ye Xi'an opened her eyes. She must be lying on the ground, because the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was the blue sky and the gentle sun.

What happened? She remembered hugging Ji Jiangci, but what happened after that?
She sat up and noticed something was wrong: why was she so close to the ground?
Ye Xi'an quickly raised his hand and, sure enough, saw his own cat paw.

She seems to have turned into a cat.
