To him, this was far simpler than the hundred thousand layers of locks in the spherical tomb chamber.
But Yi Taoyao was already charging at him!
Time was pressing, and life or death remained unknown. Li Tianming still did not dare pause to catch his breath.
"Poke! Poke!"
He tucked his left hand behind his back and frantically unleashed the Heaven-Piercing Finger, breaking apart the green characters one by one.
His hand became an afterimage!
One hundred layers!
Two hundred layers!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
His heartbeat quickened.
"She's here!"
With fifty layers of character locks remaining, Li Tianming had already spotted Yi Taoyao.
Buzz!
The bee-headed woman in flowing skirts suddenly stopped when she reached Li Tianming.
Her compound eyes looked at Li Tianming with a complicated gaze, but her expression quickly turned resolute and icy.
"Lin Feng, did you see Gu Chi Xiaoying killing someone just now?" Yi Taoyao asked in a low voice.
"No. What did I see?"
Li Tianming asked in confusion.
"Stop pretending. If you didn't see it, why did you run?" Yi Taoyao asked.
"Big sis, it was so crowded just now. If you decided I'd taken advantage of you, you definitely would've beaten me up. How could I not run?"
All his nonsense was merely to buy time.
"Forget it. It doesn't matter if you pretend not to know. Dragged in here and reduced to such a state, if I want a path to survival, I can only kill you. Resign yourself to fate."
Yi Taoyao shook her head. Her skirts billowed as she bore down on Li Tianming without another word.
"Wait!"
Li Tianming shouted.
"What do you want to say?"
Yi Taoyao stopped, her voice even colder.
"Baby, you're so beautiful. I like you!" Li Tianming said earnestly.
"You?"
Yi Taoyao froze.
