Chapter 1345: Chapter 676: The Woman in Red in the Abandoned Warehouse

This phantom exuded a powerful sense of oppression, which ordinary people might not perceive in the slightest, but for demons, it was like being crushed under Mount Tai, unbearable.

This talisman was a gift from the system, and Lin Beichen had never used it before, so he wasn’t thoroughly aware of its power. But seeing the demon struggling in pain, he secretly rejoiced, realizing he had hit the mark by chance this time.

Originally, he thought he could seize this opportunity to take down the demon in one move, but he didn’t expect that the demon, despite the immense pressure of the talisman, would begin to move forward slowly. Its eight arms had already broken through the phantom’s cage, as if to shake off all restraints.

This scene shocked Lin Beichen immensely. Didn’t this demon have the sensation of pain?

If it were a regular demon, under the cover of this talisman, even moving would be exceptionally difficult, let alone attacking so freely.

In fact, by the time the talisman started burning, ordinary demons would have already fled in terror.

However, this demon, against all odds, charged directly at Lin Beichen.

"Damn!" Lin Beichen cursed silently in his heart.

The next second, the demon’s eight arms, wielding weapons, came rushing from all directions.

Although its movements were somewhat sluggish due to the talisman’s influence, its speed was still astonishingly fast, and it had at least sealed off all of Lin Beichen’s escape routes.

Lin Beichen initially intended to move west, taking advantage of an opening to dodge the attack, but it seemed as if the demon had seen through his plan, making it impossible.

At this moment, attempting to break through the encirclement was evidently too late, and he feared he would suffer severe injuries himself.

Out of options, Lin Beichen could only choose to forcefully break through. He suddenly stopped, rapidly flinging over a dozen talismans under his feet. Simultaneously, he murmured spells, standing as immovable as Mount Tai.

Just as the weapons were about to hit him, Lin Beichen shouted loudly: "Break!"

As soon as the words were spoken, countless sparks exploded instantly, making crackling sounds.

Even the pebbles on the ground were blasted into the air, dust flying everywhere, creating chaos.

Lin Beichen then took advantage of the opportunity to retreat, spotting the demon’s pain from the attack, his figure as swift as a phantom.

"How about it, can you still fight at this point?" Lin Beichen looked coldly at the demon, his tone full of mockery.

As the dust gradually cleared, it revealed the demon beneath the grime.

Its eight arms, three of which were now bloody, clearly the most severely affected by Lin Beichen’s talisman explosions.

The demon evidently hadn’t expected Lin Beichen to be so powerful, able to gravely injure it with just a few talismans from a stinking Daoist.

It struggled silently, its face full of pain. Then, while Lin Beichen lingered, it suddenly fled.

Lin Beichen naturally wouldn’t let it escape so easily. He knew well the grudges demons held, if he didn’t kill it today, in the future when it recuperated and regained strength, it would only be raising a tiger to one’s own detriment. Lin Beichen certainly wouldn’t make such a foolish mistake.

He clicked his tongue twice, using his energy to lighten his body, jumping over all obstacles at the fastest speed, pursuing it closely.

However, what puzzled him was that the demon didn’t run towards where the people were, instead, it ran to a more remote area.

This left Lin Beichen quite puzzled. Logically, to escape from a Daoist’s pursuit, these demons would certainly flee to crowded places, using the Daoist’s compassion to hopefully escape. But this demon was entirely different, its behavior was truly unfathomable.

The only thing Lin Beichen could think of was that the demon intended to fight him again. And being among people would obviously be disadvantageous for it, so it chose a secluded place as the battleground.

While Lin Beichen was pondering, he had already pursued it to an abandoned warehouse. The demon had disappeared here, surely it hid inside.

Without much thought, Lin Beichen went in directly. However, just after stepping in, he saw a girl in a red dress squatting on the ground crying. In this abandoned warehouse, there was actually a girl? How could this be possible?

The red-dressed girl appeared particularly eerie, even her cries were especially harsh, making one shudder. Lin Beichen secretly remained vigilant, this shadow was too bizarre.

"Brother, did you come to find me?" Just as Lin Beichen was deep in thought, the little girl suddenly raised her head, her cries abruptly stopped, with a faint smile on her face.

Lin Beichen instinctively wanted to answer, but his open lips couldn’t utter a sound. It wasn’t that he couldn’t speak, but he suppressed the reply. Because, in that instant, he saw the sinister smile in the little girl’s eyes, seemingly waiting for him to answer. Lin Beichen immediately knew he had fallen into a trap, luckily he reacted quickly.

However, even so, he was probably already trapped here. Otherwise, the little girl wouldn’t have so suddenly dropped the disguise. She stood there dumbfounded, without saying a word, simply looking at Lin Beichen with an empty gaze, as if trying to pierce his soul.

In the next moment, her facial features began to blur until they completely disappeared. She turned into a faceless, skin-only girl, finally vanishing into the air. At the moment of her disappearance, Lin Beichen’s heart felt as if gripped hard by someone, his brow furrowed, quickly looking back for an exit.

However, the door he entered through had completely disappeared, turning into a sealed wall. No matter how he looked, he couldn’t see anything else.
