"It's just a trick, break it for me!"

Lin Tian snorted coldly, and swung the Prison Sword in his hand. A sharp sword energy shot out from it and collided with the huge claw.

The two treasures collided with each other, making a clanging sound. A terrifying ripple spread out, crushing the surrounding trees and leaving cracks all over the ground.

At the moment of collision, Lin Tian suddenly kicked his foot and took a step forward. His figure disappeared instantly. When he appeared again, he had already arrived above the Black Phoenix's head and slashed down with a sword.

A scream was heard, and a bloody wound appeared on the Black Phoenix's head, with blood flowing out.

This sword dealt a heavy blow to the Black Phoenix.

A painful scream resounded through the sky, and the black phoenix's body shook, as if it was about to fall to the ground in the next moment, but it still struggled desperately, trying to break free from Lin Tian's restraints and restore its strength.

But at this time, how could Lin Tian give her a chance?

The long sword in his hand suddenly grew larger, and he slashed it down with one sword. The sword energy was so strong that it seemed to split the sky and the earth. At this time, the Black Phoenix finally reacted, and with a sharp cry, it regained its human form.

At this moment, Lin Tian's eyes were extremely cold and murderous as he stared at the Black Phoenix in front of him.

"Stop it, Lin Tian."

A familiar voice came, and Lin Tian knew that it was the voice of the saint.

Lin Tian's body couldn't help but tremble slightly. For a moment, he even forgot to resist and also forgot to attack the Black Phoenix. He stared blankly at the Saint in front of him.

At this moment, the saint was still extremely beautiful, dressed in white clothes as white as snow, with an air of immortality around her.

The saint's face was full of gentleness, her eyes were full of love, and there was a warm smile on the corners of her mouth, which made people intoxicated.

Then he walked slowly and came to Lin Tian's side.

"I told you I'll help you solve the problem here, don't be stubborn anymore."

The saint sighed, her voice soft, as if she was trying to persuade someone, but more like she was comforting herself.

Lin Tian frowned and looked at the saint in front of him, his eyes full of doubt, but more of unwillingness.

If I had to describe this feeling in words, it would probably be like a nightmare.

"Who are you? Are you really a saint?"

Lin Tian was silent for a long time before he spoke slowly. His eyes were calm, without even the slightest ripple, but this calmness made the Saint shake her head.

She could clearly feel that Lin Tian's heart was not as calm as he appeared on the outside.

"what you think?"

The saint said lightly, then turned around, as if signaling Lin Tian to follow.

"Aren't you very smart? Why can't you make a guess?"

The saint asked back, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"Because you are not the real Saint, or you can only be said to be a memory."

The saint chuckled twice, neither admitting it nor refuting it.

"Yes, I am just a memory, and no one can change that."

The saint sighed, with a hint of melancholy in her eyes, and looked up at the sky, as if she was looking at something, but her eyes were unfocused.

Lin Tian frowned. This scene made him feel a little helpless, but after all, he came here for the soul fragments in Mu Qiuyu's body.

The dead saint had nothing to do with him.

"Let me tell you straight away, how can I get the soul fragments out of you?"

Lin Tian looked at the saint opposite him and spoke word by word without blinking, for fear of missing any change in the other person's expression.

Upon hearing this, the saint showed a look of surprise on her face, as if she didn't expect Lin Tian to know so much, and then shook her head.

"What if I tell you that they are me?"

Hearing this, Lin Tian fell silent. Although he had guessed it long ago, he still found it hard to accept when she said it herself.

To Lin Tian, ​​those were ten completely different, living people! How could they be someone else? "So what? Can you replace them?"

Lin Tian was silent for a long time, and finally spoke coldly.

"Yes, they are part of me, but they also belong to you, and I am not someone who should look up to you."

Then the saint stretched out her slender white jade fingers, and a black crystal appeared in her hand, with strange runes flashing on it. A black energy light emanated from it, making the entire hall dark.

Seeing this thing, Lin Tian's pupils shrank slightly, and a dangerous aura spread from his heart.

"Is this... the Black Nether Pearl?"

The Black Nether Pearl, a demon heart containing evil power, is a product of the aggregation of evil forces. It has a powerful devouring power that can devour thousands of lives, even souls.

This is a terrifying existence. Lin Tian had also learned about it through the Tianji Pen, but he didn't expect to encounter it here.

Seeing the black pearl, the saint raised a faint smile on her lips, a smile that was sweet and charming.

"Take the Black Nether Pearl, and my soul will be yours."

When these words were spoken, Lin Tian was stunned, his heart skipped a beat, and with a hint of panic in his eyes, he subconsciously stepped back, staring at the saint with a vigilant look.

He felt uncomfortable hearing such words coming from the saint's mouth.

"Why, are you scared?"

The saint looked at Lin Tian with a smile on her lips, and her beautiful eyes sparkled with wisdom.

"What do you want?"

Lin Tian frowned slightly and looked at the saint opposite him with a hint of anger in his eyes.

"Hehe, this is a gift from me to you, I hope you like it."

The saint smiled sweetly and handed the Black Nether Pearl to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian hesitated for a while, and finally took the Black Nether Pearl. There was a hint of vigilance in his eyes, but he never moved.

As soon as he got the Black Nether Pearl, Lin Tian immediately felt a terrifying energy surging into his body, which made his whole body tremble. He felt an intense pain and his face turned pale. Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead and his eyes were full of pain.

But Lin Tian had no intention of retreating. He gritted his teeth and endured it.

"So strong, worthy of being the one I like."

The saint looked at Lin Tian with admiration, her eyes sparkling with a strange light.

"What the hell is going on? What are you going to do?"

Lin Tian's face turned a little purple, but he still did not relax his vigilance. He stared at the saint coldly and asked.

"You should know that there are too many unknowns in this world, and I am one of the unknowns, so you must remain vigilant, right, outsider?"

The saint smiled faintly with a hint of cunning in her eyes, but Lin Tian could sense a deep sense of danger.
