"The game has only just begun..." Night Owl's chilling voice, like a sharp icicle, buzzed through the air, but he had already vanished like a stench-laden gust of evil wind.
Su Qing's eyes widened, her terrified gaze seemingly frozen in time, while Lin Yi's heart instantly felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar, the chill spreading through his veins to his entire body.
Damn it!
"Trying to run? No way!" Lin Yi roared, his voice like thunder in your ears.
Golden light, like a blazing flame, flashed across his body, stinging the eyes. The [Time and Space Dominator]'s exclusive skill—"Time and Space Teleportation"—was activated!
Damn it, you dare touch my people? I'll show you why flowers are so red!
The space twisted and cracked, making a sound like breaking glass.
Lin Yi's figure flickered like a ghost. The next second, he appeared in the direction where Night Owl had disappeared. The surrounding air vibrated violently because of his teleportation, and the wind blowing against his face felt like being cut by a knife.
My goodness, that speed is incredible! Even Usain Bolt would be crying if he saw it!
"Chase!" Whitebeard roared, his voice shaking the surrounding space.
The naginata in his hand sliced through the air with a hissing sound, following closely behind Lin Yi.
A flash of blue light refracted through his blue-dyed glasses, and a playful smile curled at the corner of his lips: "What an interesting game, I'll have a go too." Before he finished speaking, he had vanished from the spot, leaving only a faint, almost imperceptible aura.
Long Wu was filled with excitement, shouting "Charge!" His voice was as stirring as a war drum.
He shot out like a cannonball, creating a gust of wind that rippled through the surrounding spacetime, as if afraid of falling behind.
Goodness, this is quite a spectacle! Anyone who didn't know better would think they were going to participate in the Olympic 100-meter race!
Inside the time tunnel, bizarre and fantastical scenes flashed by, with colorful lights streaking across the sky like shooting stars, accompanied by the whooshing sound of the wind.
It's like being inside a kaleidoscope, with all sorts of strange colors and shapes dazzling the eyes.
Lin Yi frowned, focusing intently on tracing the spatial and temporal fluctuations left behind by the night owl.
The fluctuations were like faint, indistinct threads, appearing and disappearing in his perception.
It feels like playing a super-enhanced version of "Spot the Difference," where you can easily lose track of the game if you're not careful.
"Lin Yi, the energy traces of Night Owl indicate that he is fleeing towards the 'Forgotten Capital'." Chu Yao's sweet voice rang in Lin Yi's ears, like a clear spring in the desert, making him feel at ease.
This AI assistant is actually quite reliable in crucial moments!
"The Forgotten City?" Lin Yi muttered to himself. The name itself sounded eerie, making one think of all sorts of demons and monsters.
The surrounding temperature seemed to drop instantly, and a chill spread from the soles of my feet to my whole body.
Suddenly, Lin Yi felt a chill run down his spine. A mysterious aura silently enveloped him, like a thick black mist that felt sticky to the touch, making him feel extremely uneasy.
It felt like being choked by an invisible hand, making it hard to breathe.
"What's going on?" Lin Yi wondered to himself. This aura seemed familiar, yet he couldn't quite grasp it.
"Could it be..." A name flashed through his mind—Xuanmingzi!
This mysterious fellow has disappeared since his last appearance; I never expected him to show up here.
What exactly is his purpose?
Could it be related to the Night Owl's conspiracy?
A series of questions swirled in Lin Yi's mind, making him even more vigilant.
"Lin Yi, what's wrong?" The white-bearded man noticed Lin Yi's unusual behavior and asked with concern.
"I have a feeling that someone is watching us in the dark," Lin Yi said in a low voice. "It's very likely Xuan Mingzi."
Whitebeard's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Xuanmingzi? That guy is no pushover. We must be careful."
Aizen pushed up his glasses, a cold glint flashing in the lenses. "This guy always acts like it's none of his business. He's really hard to figure out."
Long Wu, on the other hand, was excited and rubbed his hands together, saying, "Who cares who he is? If he dares to block our way, we'll beat him up!" This kid really is fearless; it's hard to tell if he's brave or reckless.
Just then, the light in the time tunnel gradually dimmed from its previous flickering state, and the surrounding space seemed to become oppressive, as if an invisible hand was squeezing everything around it.
The spacetime tunnel ahead suddenly twisted and deformed, forming a huge vortex, like a giant beast ready to devour its prey, emitting a "whooshing" roar and exuding a chilling aura.
"A trap!" Lin Yi saw through Night Owl's scheme at a glance.
That old bastard is really cunning and treacherous; he actually tried to shake them off using this method.
The Night Owl uses a spacetime vortex trap by exploiting the instability of spacetime, distorting the spatial structure to create a powerful suction force, attempting to pull the pursuer into it.
"Time Freeze!" Lin Yi activated his skill without hesitation, freezing the surrounding spacetime and stopping the vortex from spinning.
Wow, this skill is practically a time-space version of the "pause button," it's amazing!
"A mere trick, yet you dare to show off your skills before an expert!" Lin Yi sneered, leading the group around the whirlpool and continuing the pursuit.
Night Owl seemed to have realized how troublesome Lin Yi was, and set up various traps one after another in an attempt to stop their pursuit.
He uses the time-space maze to disrupt the dimensions of time and space, trapping the pursuers in a complex spatial network that makes it difficult for them to find the correct way out; he uses time reversal to manipulate the flow of time, sending the pursuers back to the past and disrupting their pursuit rhythm; and he uses spatial displacement to randomly swap spatial positions, making it impossible for the pursuers to accurately determine the location of the owl.
With all sorts of fancy skills, he's practically a time-travel magician.
However, these traps were as vulnerable as paper tigers in the face of Lin Yi's [Time and Space Dominator].
With his precise control over time and space, Lin Yi thwarted Night Owl's schemes one by one, thwarting his plans.
"Damn it! How can this guy be so troublesome!" Night Owl gritted his teeth, his heart filled with resentment.
He originally thought he could easily shake off Lin Yi's pursuit, but he didn't expect to run into a tough opponent.
"Captain Aizen, have you found anything?" Lin Yi turned to look at Aizen. Although this guy seemed carefree, he was meticulous and might be able to see something.
Aizen adjusted his glasses and said meaningfully, "Night Owl's purpose seems to be more than just taking Su Qing away..."
Just as everyone was gradually closing the distance with Night Owl, Night Owl suddenly stopped. He turned around, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth: "Looks like you won't give up until you're completely defeated..." Night Owl stopped, like a bad cat that had grown tired of playing cat and mouse. He turned around with that eerie smile on his face, making everyone's hearts tremble, like something out of a horror movie.
That smile concealed a knife, a scheme, and a sinister aura that made people very uncomfortable.
"Heh, you're keeping up pretty well, you little bastards." The night owl's voice was like sandpaper rubbing against glass, terribly grating.
He clapped his hands slowly, and you could smell his smugness from a distance.
"Since you want to play so much, then Grandpa will play with you, and we'll play big!" The air around them seemed to freeze, like the calm before a storm, making it hard to breathe.
At the same time, the mysterious aura of Xuanmingzi grew even stronger, like a thick, dark dish, bubbling ominously and emitting a pungent, putrid smell.
Lin Yi felt a chill run down his back, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
"What kind of trouble is that old bastard up to now?" he muttered to himself, gripping the Blade of Time tightly in his hand, his palms sweaty.
Whitebeard, Aizen, and Ryugo were all on edge, assuming fighting stances, and the air was thick with tension.
Suddenly, the owl raised its head sharply, its eyes turning an eerie purple, like two glowing poisonous grapes, emitting a ghostly light.
"Game time is over!" He grinned sinisterly and stretched out his hands...
