The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities

Chapter 584: Tears of the Merfolk Beneath Jingluo Lake (Part 9)

Lian Xichen looked at An Chuxue, who was hiding behind Xiao Xue, and then at Xiao Xue, who had no cultivation at all, feeling uneasy. He couldn’t help but interrupt Han Jing: "Jing’er, are you sure it’s okay to leave them here?"

Is this really not a joke?

Han Jing nonchalantly said, "It’s fine, it’s fine, as long as someone as powerful as you isn’t causing trouble, they won’t die!"

Actually, even if someone as powerful as Lian Xichen came to cause trouble, those two wouldn’t die either. They’d just run if they couldn’t win!

Lian Xichen was completely unsettled.

Seeing him still stunned, Han Jing urged, "Hurry up, the important task awaits!"

Lian Xichen reluctantly gave An Chuxue and Xiao Xue one last look before following Han Jing, quickly making their way through the densely packed ghost spirits towards the direction of the palace!

Upon reaching outside of the palace, suddenly, giant strands of seaweed shot up, catching Han Jing and Lian Xichen off guard and ensnaring them!

"Damn! Jing’er, the seaweed is poisonous!" Lian Xichen shouted.

While wielding his sword to cut the seaweed wrapped around him, he rapidly used his power to expel the poison, then hurried over to Han Jing. Meanwhile, the seaweed around Han Jing had already been frozen into icy fragments and shattered to the ground.

Lian Xichen...

It was the first time he had seen someone fight like this...

It took the two of them nearly fifteen minutes to break through the enshrouding seaweed and various strange undersea creatures, finally making their way into the palace.

"Brother, there’s a barrier here, can you break it?" Han Jing tried, but the barrier didn’t budge an inch, so she turned and asked Lian Xichen.

Lian Xichen stepped back two steps, motioning for Han Jing to step aside. He tried, the barrier moved slightly, but still wasn’t broken.

"How about we try together?" Han Jing suggested.

Lian Xichen nodded, stepped back two steps behind Han Jing, suddenly looked back at a corner, then turned to Han Jing and said, "Alright, let’s start!"

Han Jing, not noticing anything unusual, exerted all her strength against the barrier. Suddenly, a dense purple light instantly engulfed the blue light she had unleashed, and the barrier was immediately broken!

Han Jing frowned and glanced at Lian Xichen: "Brother, has your power increased again?"

Lian Xichen’s cultivation was Purple Flame Level 3, the flame’s color shouldn’t be this deep!

Lian Xichen shook his head: "No,"

After a pause, he continued: "My senior brother once gave me a jade for attack purposes, which, when crushed, can enhance an attack once. I hadn’t used it until just now."

Han Jing responded with an "oh," finding nothing amiss: "Then let’s go in!"

Lian Xichen nodded and followed her in.

Han Jing’s steps were somewhat slow; she had a feeling that since Ting Luo could sleep undisturbed for a thousand years here, the challenges outside suggested that the hall wasn’t going to be as simple as imagined either.

The surroundings were as quiet as a dream. Han Jing used her Water Ability to protect herself, then maximized her hearing, not missing the slightest sound.

Han Jing wrapped a few flames in bubbles underwater, illuminating the pitch-black great hall a bit. Passing through the great hall An Chuxue mentioned, she went to the garden behind it and indeed saw the pond she had talked about.
