C1846 Race for Time(2)
What did that mean? Lin Bai couldn't help but frown when he heard Johnson's words. Although he had seen people who were not afraid of death, this was the first time he had encountered someone who didn't take his life seriously and said that he would give it away. Thinking of this, Lin Bai couldn't help but look over at Johnson, trying to find some clues from his facial features.
Lin Bai could not help but be secretly surprised at the lack of attention. He also understood why Johnson would do such a thing. For Johnson was now as old as the mud, and as sorrowful as the ox; his ears were dark, and the snow and the sun was shining upon his face!
The so-called longevity was the two parts in the middle of a person's nose. It was commonly known as the longevity and longevity! In facial science, these two parts are responsible for a person's illness, also known as the Scurvy Palace. It was said that the year was dark like mud, meaning that the color of the two parts of the body above the year and the color of the skin above it was dark, and there was also black air lingering around the area.
As for the obscurity, it was easier to understand. The ears did not have a distinct outline, and the forehead was dark. If there was no outline, and a dark black color appeared on his forehead, then it meant that the person who possessed these two characteristics had reached a point where he was on the verge of drying up. In other words, he was ill and would die soon.
If an ordinary person only encountered the situation above, there might be a way to resolve it. However, if these two faces appeared on the same person's face, then it meant that this person was most likely going to die. Even if the Great Firmament Deity descended, it would not be able to save him.
To put it simply, Johnson was now a man on the verge of death. According to Lin Bai's calculations, he would not live another half a month. Now that he had taken that weird red liquid and overused his life force, it was unknown whether he could survive another three days.
In this world, those who could fearlessly and completely disregard their own lives were either people who detested the world and were ill, or people like Johnson, who would not be able to live for long! It seemed to Lin Bai that this was also the reason why Johnson had set up all sorts of schemes in order to lure him into the trap and use him as a gun.
Even with the strange red liquid, with Johnson's current physical condition, he would not need to think about using it ever again. Therefore, before he died, he had to find another way out and come up with a solution to this problem.
It was precisely because of this that he told Lin Bai directly that as long as Lin Bai could accept his conditions, he would let Li Qiushui and Zhang Sanming go and give his life to Lin Bai without hesitation.
Thinking of this, Lin Bai looked at Johnson with some sympathy, and said slowly, "You are so ill, I'm afraid you will only have half a month left in your lifespan. With this kind of situation, you don't have to spend more time with your family, but you still have to painstakingly arrange so many things, don't you feel sorry for yourself after you die?"
"The Chinese technique is indeed magical, you can even see through it." In this world, there are benefits and losses. Johnson laughed and mocked himself, then his eyes turned cold again. He said: "Mr. Lin, what do you think of my proposal? Do you want to consider accepting it?" As long as you help me, my life will be yours. "
"If the Divine Shield is truly an unforgivable crime, then every single one of them is an extremely evil one. Perhaps I will help you, but the true Divine Shield is completely different from the one you know. To use a so-called instability factor to erase them from this world, I, this person Lin, cannot do such a thing. " Lin Bai slowly shook his head when he heard this. "Although I sympathize with you, I still have to kill you!"
"Then there's nothing to talk about anymore!" After taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and was silent for a moment. After which, he slowly opened his eyes, stared at Lin Bai and said with murderous intent in his eyes, "Since Mister Lin has made up your mind, then I will have to fight to the death. Even if I have to risk my life, I will drag you down with me!"
He leapt towards Lin Bai, and after he did so, the red mist surrounding his body became even more intense. It was clear that he was determined to die, and that he no longer cared about his own life. He wanted Lin Bai to pay the price for disobeying his orders even if he had to fight to the death.
With his full strength, Johnson's attack had reached an unimaginable level. His figure was like a bright blood-red ray of light, directly splitting open the void and attacking Lin Bai. It was like a ball of light was attacking!
Sounds of metal clashing rang in his ears. If it were not for the fact that there were no sparks flying everywhere, people would have thought that the place had become a forge. All sorts of violent auras swept out like a hurricane. Countless arcane fluctuations surged out, and the two clashed incessantly. With the naked eye, it was impossible to see their bodies clearly anymore.
It's time for battle!" With each swing of his arm, he seemed to have completely mastered the laws of force. Each strike gave off a sense of immense pressure, as if Johnson was no longer a human but a horned dragon!
Lin Bai gently waved his hands, and countless streams of sword Qis shot out, turning into streams of light and colliding with Johnson's fist shadows. They released a deafening sound that spread outside the building. Even so, it was still very shocking.
This was an extremely intense battle. Johnson no longer had any other thoughts, he just wanted to delay Lin Bai's time and drag the lives of Li Qiushui, Zhang Sanming, and the others to accompany him in death. This kind of mentality, where one was already determined to die. This kind of madness, even Lin Bai, who had the intent to fight till the end, felt his hair stand on end as he silently cursed in his heart.
Not only that, the strange red liquid that Johnson swallowed was really too strange. Under the stimulation of this energy, his whole body seemed to go berserk. Red mist was flowing through every pore of his body, releasing a strange pressure.
Even someone as valiant as Lin Bai, under Johnson's suicidal attack, although he had tried his best to dodge and avoid direct confrontation, he was still struck several times. Each blow from him caused Lin Bai's body to be severely injured, his skin to split open, his bones to bleed, and even his internal organs were shaken to the point where they started to deviate, causing blood to flow out from the corners of his mouth.
What the hell was that red liquid? How could it cause such a huge change to people?! The more they fought, the more shocked Lin Bai became. He had never heard of such a magical thing in this world! Even the few Scarlet Fruits on top of the Immortality Medicine he had consumed before probably did not have such a strange effect. It could make a person's power skyrocket by several folds!
Wave after wave of attacks that were like a tidal wave caused Lin Bai to feel despair in his heart. Furthermore, his gaze was incapable of leaving the secret chamber that held Li Qiushui, Zhang SanKuang, and the others. With the flow of time and the flow of air, Li Qiushui and Zhang SanKuang's situation became worse and worse, especially Li Qiushui, who was already on the verge of losing consciousness.
No, I can't continue to tangle with this madman. I have to find the trick to solve his problem as soon as possible! Otherwise, if this dragged on for any longer and the air completely dried up, Li Qiushui would suffocate to death. At that time, he would truly regret it.
However, what worried Lin Bai the most was that he couldn't think of anything that could counter Johnson's crazy attack. This thing had become a piece of dog skin plaster after his heart had turned to despair. Although the wounds from his attacks had yet to reach the point where he could take his life, he could not just ignore them.
The worst part was that although the red liquid was consuming Johnson's life force to stimulate his potential and increase his strength, Lin Bai could not think of any way to stop it.
Under the effect of the red liquid, Johnson's body felt like it was cast from gold and the skin was as thick as a city wall. Although the sword energy was crisscrossing the area, it couldn't even leave a white mark on him. Moreover, even if the talisman's power was astonishing, and it exploded, all sorts of terrifying auras would be generated. However, it was completely useless against Johnson's body.
At that moment, it was as if he had become an absolute master. His body was impervious to fire and water, invulnerable to swords and spears. No matter what methods he used, he could not cause any damage to his body.
There must be a loophole. As long as he was still human, there would definitely be a loophole! Although he was frightened, Lin Bai still kept cheering for him in his heart as he looked at the appearance of Li Qiushui, Zhang SanKuang and the others. He calmed himself down and tried his best to explore, to find the loophole in Johnson's body, and then to kill him in one shot to solve this huge problem.
"Die!" At this moment, Johnson seemed to have noticed Lin Bai's thoughts. He let out a furious roar, and the strange red aura on his body suddenly became like a red fog, engulfing the entire sky and drowning everything in it.
Countless amounts of mist lingered within the room, like a long river of blood. From within, one could smell an extremely strong stench of blood. Not only that, but as the red mist spread out, Lin Bai felt as if his body had fallen into a quagmire. It was difficult to move even a single inch, and his entire body was under an extremely terrifying pressure.
This was a terrifying thing, something that Lin Bai had never touched before! However, what made Lin Bai feel strange was that even though he did not understand what exactly this thing was, he could feel two extremely familiar auras from it, as if he had seen it somewhere before. That feeling made Lin Bai feel even stranger.
Under the cover of the red fog, Johnson's movement speed was accelerated by several times, just like a ghost. In just a short moment, thousands of fists were thrown at Lin Bai. The whistling fist shadows formed a vast curtain, as if they were going to swallow Lin Bai whole and turn to dust in the middle of the fist shadows!
