Chapter 137: You Lied to Me! Huang Yiyi's Anger!

If he could, Lin Tianming didn’t want to have a conflict with these five members of the Yellow Clothes Church here.

But if they really dared to attack him, Lin Tianming wouldn’t sit idly by.

Seeing the shadow attack coming at him like an evil ghost, Lin Tianming's body surged with the power of thunder.

Thunderstorm Fury!

With the speed boost from Thunderstorm Fury, Lin Tianming quickly dodged the shadow attack with Huang Yiyi.

"Yiyi, stay here for now. No matter what happens later, control your emotions and never release the black mist. I promised to protect you, and I will protect you!"

Worried that Huang Yiyi might lose control of her emotions halfway and release the black mist again, transforming into the Saint Golden Butterfly to escape, Lin Tianming gave her one last reminder before acting.

As for whether Huang Yiyi could take it in, it was not within Lin Tianming’s consideration as he had no choice but to fight.

If she really escaped like last night, he couldn’t do anything about it.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Tianming turned to offense, taking the initiative to attack.

Spirit Transformation!

Transforming into a spirit, Lin Tianming’s body became incorporeal. Even though these five Yellow Clothes Church members were at a higher level, they had never encountered such an opponent before and didn't know where Lin Tianming was.

While they were busy looking for Lin Tianming, he had silently ambushed them from behind.

Thunder Stomp!

Materializing his form, Lin Tianming stomped the ground with thunderous force. His Thunder Stomp ripped the ground apart, launching a close-range attack on the five Yellow Clothes Church members.

By the time they noticed Lin Tianming behind them, it was too late to block his Thunder Stomp.

However, despite not having time to defend, the Thunder Stomp empowered by Thunderstorm Fury still did not inflict substantial damage on them.

"I thought you were formidable. Turns out it's just bravado. How can a level seventeen like you hurt us?"

The leading dark-element Yellow Clothes Church member laughed recklessly. Just as he was about to capture the low-level Lin Tianming himself, he felt the ground beneath him shaking violently.

With the earth’s power enough to threaten their lives, multiple earth spikes shot up, sending the five Yellow Clothes Church members flying into the air.

"This... isn’t this my Earth Spike skill? Why... why does it feel more powerful than when I cast it myself?"

One of the earth-element Yellow Clothes Church members cried out in disbelief.

Before they could understand what was happening, Lin Tianming, who had successfully used the copied Earth Spike, didn't give them any respite.

Because Lin Tianming knew that if he gave them a chance to recover, they would retaliate fiercely.

His current advantage was that they didn’t know about his Hand of God ability to copy skills!

While the five Yellow Clothes Church members hadn’t recovered, he had to defeat them all.

Poisonous Vines!

With the Hand of God’s additional boost to non-super spells, the Poisonous Vines Lin Tianming cast were more terrifying than those cast by the wood-element Yellow Clothes Church member.

Just as they were about to steady themselves after being hit by the Earth Spike, they saw thick poisonous vines shooting up from the broken ground, turning their faces pale.

"This... isn’t this my Poisonous Vine... ah! The pain... it’s too painful! Why is this Poisonous Vine’s poison stronger than mine?"

"I... I get it! It’s that kid's ability! But how can a level seventeen kid repeatedly cast our skills with more power than we can?"

Entangled and poisoned by the vines, the five Yellow Clothes Church members screamed in agony.

The two fire-element members resisted the poison, trying to burn the vines to escape.

If they managed to cast it, Lin Tianming would have a hard time dealing with them.

Soul Capture!

Using the Soul Capture skill that even top-tier awakeners like Teacher Jiang Han couldn’t resist, Lin Tianming made the five members lose their minds.

Not trusting that they would remain in this state, he prepared for when they might recover.

He called Hua Yufei without informing her he had found Huang Yiyi precisely because of this.

He didn't want her bringing a large group from the awakening battle team. Even if Hua Yufei believed him, the others wouldn't and wouldn't let such an unstable factor as Huang Yiyi live.

At that point, they would truly fall out with Huang Yiyi.

And they couldn't really kill her!

With Huang Yiyi’s ability to turn into a Saint Golden Butterfly and escape, if they provoked her, no one could stop her.

If she ran away, traumatized by this incident, she would be even more easily provoked in the future, causing more innocent deaths.

Protecting Huang Yiyi was not only fulfilling his promise but also preventing more innocent deaths.

At this stage, with no one capable of threatening Huang Yiyi, she must not be provoked!

His plan was the most stable during this period.

As Lin Tianming was about to communicate with Hua Yufei on how best to handle Huang Yiyi, her words made Huang Yiyi lose control again.

"Capture... capture me? Control me... even... even take necessary measures against me?"

Black mist erupted in response to her emotions, making this the most severe emotional outburst since Lin Tianming met her today, nearly matching last night.

Hua Yufei, seeing this, frowned, "Junior Tianming, be careful. Move behind me, I’ll protect you!"

"Don’t be hasty, Senior Hua. Let me talk to her first. I can calm her down!"

Lin Tianming had anticipated this scenario when calling Hua Yufei, immediately grabbing Huang Yiyi’s arm.

"Calm down, Yiyi! You don’t want your black mist to harm innocent people, right?"

"You lied to me!"

Huang Yiyi had completely lost control, feeling betrayed.

She thought Lin Tianming truly accepted her as a friend, not seeing her as a monster.

In the end, he still saw her as a bringer of misfortune.

Everything he did was to stabilize her until Hua Yufei arrived to capture and imprison her.

They might even kill her!

Lin Tianming indeed lied, but it was to keep her emotions stable to prevent harm to innocents. His promises to Huang Yiyi were genuine.

"Yiyi, I’m sorry. I admit I approached you initially to stabilize you, but it was for your good. I promise, Senior Hua and I won’t imprison you. We just want to ensure you’re safe and free, not captured by the Yellow Clothes Church and those monsters."

However, Lin Tianming's explanation only made Huang Yiyi distrust him more.

"Liar! I won’t believe you anymore!"

As she spoke, the black mist around her grew thicker, engulfing the entire street.

Hua Yufei, overwhelmed by the mist more sinister than demonic energy, coughed up blood.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming immediately used the Ascension Light to protect Hua Yufei.

"Stop it, Yiyi! Trust me, I’ll help you! I never saw you as a monster!"

"Don’t come closer! You... you’re all the same... just want to capture me and force me to do what I don’t want to do!"

In a panic, Huang Yiyi screamed and started to run away.

At the same time, the same holy golden light from last night appeared around her.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming’s eyes turned serious.

If she escaped again like last night, transforming into the beautiful Saint Golden Butterfly and disappearing, it would be almost impossible to encounter her by chance like tonight.

Then, if the Yellow Clothes Church and monsters found her first and used her to unlock the Demon Tomb seal, it would likely be opened ahead of time!

With the seal opened and divine-level monsters emerging early, without god-level awakeners to protect humanity, it would be a disaster.

Now, what could he do to regain her trust and make her stay?
