"Okay." Lin Qiye nodded.
Just then, the tavern owner yanked a dazed pilot up from his seat and slammed him against the wall. He then brutally drove the iron nails into the pilot's limbs, pinning him to the wall.
He drew a small knife from his waist, intending to cut off the pilot's fingers, but the next moment, two crisp sniping sounds rang out!
Clang—!
Lin Qiye's figure floated past the densely packed Ten-Cut Ghost Children like a ghost, his eyes flashing with cold light, and his blade slashed directly towards the tavern owner's throat!
The tavern owner's face darkened, and he suddenly raised the knife in his hand to block Lin Qiye's attack, only to be slammed into the front window of the plane!
Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes and did not choose to hold back. On the contrary, he unleashed his full power again, and his other straight sword pierced a crack in the glass behind the tavern owner!Immediately afterwards, dense spiderweb-like patterns spread across the windshield.
Bang—!!
With a loud bang, the windshield shattered, and a gust of wind rushed into the narrow cockpit. The pressure instantly ripped the two Ten-Cut Ghost Children out of the cabin, along with the tavern owner who was pressed against the glass.
The two ten-cut ghost children flew out of the plane and fell from the sky with strange cries, but the tavern owner did not. The moment he flew out of the cockpit, he stabilized his body in a strange posture, as if someone had grabbed his ankle and fixed him firmly to the nose of the plane.
Lin Qiye frowned slightly. "Silk thread?"
In his mental perception, the instant the tavern owner flew out of the cockpit, several invisible threads burst forth from the soles of his feet, piercing through his shoes and embedding themselves in the metal of the nose of the aircraft. They then split into extremely fine hooks, allowing him to stand there steadily like Spider-Man.
The wind kept blowing into the cockpit. Fortunately, An Qingyu had locked the door before coming in, otherwise the passengers in the entire cabin would be in chaos right now.
A resolute look appeared in Lin Qiye's eyes. He lightly stepped on the control panel with his right foot, and as if weightless, he floated out of the broken glass window, following the tavern owner to the outside of the plane!
The pale blue blade of the straight sword sliced through the swirling air, producing a piercing hum, and slashed towards the tavern owner with lightning speed!
The tavern owner sneered, his fingertips split open, and ten transparent threads, like venomous snakes, flew effortlessly towards Lin Qiye's body in the wind!
Lin Qiye paused, his mental energy keenly capturing the trajectory of the ten threads. His twin swords abandoned their attack and instead danced in front of him, blocking the strange ten threads.
Rip—!!
The end of the silk thread collided with the straight knife, producing fine sparks. The silk thread was of unknown material, sometimes as soft as water and sometimes as hard as metal!
Lin Qiye was jolted by the sudden attack, his center of gravity shifted slightly, and the rapidly flowing air blew him backward several steps until he finally managed to regain his balance when he was halfway up the top of the plane.
The tavern owner sneered as he approached Lin Qiye step by step. With each step, the silk threads beneath his feet gripped the machine tightly, allowing him to maintain his balance even in the raging wind.
Lin Qiye leaned forward slightly, lowering his center of gravity and reducing the area of his body in direct contact with the wind, thus reducing wind resistance, while keeping his eyes fixed on the tavern owner in front of him.
"Forbidden items?"
The tavern owner's lips curled into a slight smile. "Just a low-sequence forbidden item that's pretty useless."
He raised his palm, and dense threads tore through the skin between his fingers, weaving in the air into a transparent dagger, weightless yet incredibly sharp.
"Sequence 351, [Mysterious Silk], can be freely extended, split, and hardened by injecting mental energy. It has little effect on others, but for me, who possesses super-fast regeneration, it is the strongest weapon existing within my body."
After saying that, he swayed and rushed towards Lin Qiye!
Lin Qiye slowly closed his eyes, focusing all his attention on his mental perception, predicting the trajectory of each thread's attack, and instantly swung out his straight blades!
Clang clang clang clang—!
A series of collision sounds rang out. The straight sword was so fast that it was just a blur. The bright moonlight reflected off the blade, as if leaving an impenetrable wall of light in front of Lin Qiye!
The tavern owner's expression changed. Ever since he obtained the [Deceptive Silk], he could often kill people effortlessly, and most people never knew what had killed them.
But the boy in front of me not only managed to strike the silk thread with precision with every slash, but he also began to get used to the rhythm of my attacks and started to launch tentative counterattacks!
The next moment, the darkness around Lin Qiye suddenly intensified, and a black light flashed from the blade of the straight sword, severing more than a dozen strange threads in one strike and firmly cutting into the tavern owner's chest!
Puff—!
As the blade flashed, a large amount of blood gushed from the gruesome gash. The wound was so deep that the ribs were faintly visible. The tavern owner's expression changed, and he took several steps back as his muscle tissue began to repair itself at a visible speed.
Two seconds later, the blood stopped flowing from his chest. Five seconds later, the gruesome bloodstain was healed to a faint trace. Seven seconds later, the wound that would have been fatal to an ordinary person had disappeared without a trace.
"This is really troublesome," Lin Qiye said, frowning.The super-fast regeneration ability is extremely unfriendly to enemies, especially to melee fighters like him. One strike and the opponent can recover to full health in no time.
Lin Qiye took a deep breath, the wind making his cloak flutter, and with a change of pace, he quickly closed the distance between himself and the tavern owner.
The tavern owner had learned his lesson this time. Knowing he was no match for Lin Qiye in close combat, he simply pulled out a pistol from his waist and pulled the trigger on Lin Qiye.
Bang bang bang—!
Three gunshots rang out in succession, and a black glint appeared in Lin Qiye's pupils. After the three bullets embedded themselves in the darkness around him, they could not penetrate any further.
The tavern owner was stunned and hadn't figured out what was happening when Lin Qiye's knife was already in front of him!
One by one, the threads burst forth from the body!
After Lin Qiye slashed dozens of times, he seized an opportunity, and the blade once again shone with black light, directly slicing through several threads and slashing horizontally!
The pale blue blade sliced through the air in a flash, slicing open the tavern owner's throat, his head flying high into the air...
Immediately afterwards, a dozen or so threads emerged from the severed neck, grabbed the head in mid-air, quickly tightened, and reattached the head to the neck.
The smooth fracture gradually disappeared, the tavern owner's terrified eyes regained their light, and a touch of color returned to his pale face.
He came back to life!He opened his mouth and burst into laughter, "You can't possibly..."
Whoosh—!
With another swing of the blade, the tavern owner's head flew off once more...
