Chapter 931: Not Working

Hoo hoo!

“Hahaha!” Ghost Rider let out a wild, devilish laugh as he pulled on the iron chain.

Lin Rui struggled as he was pulled along by Ghost Rider, but eventually gave up trying to break free and focused on using his internal energy to resist the hellfire that was invading his body.

As a result, Lin Rui, who was now chained and dragged by Ghost Rider, soon arrived at his destination.

“Hahahaha…” Still laughing maniacally, Ghost Rider released the iron chain and stretched out his hands once Lin Rui was within reach.

Pū!

Lin Rui, who was caught off guard and didn’t have a chance to escape, was firmly grasped by Ghost Rider’s shoulders with two bone claws. He was lifted off the ground and held in front of Ghost Rider, his feet dangling in the air.

Ghost Rider then turned the skull on his head to face Lin Rui, staring at him with black, empty eyes. Lin Rui, who was not as tall as Johnny, was now at a disadvantage as he was suspended in the air by Ghost Rider.

“Feel the pain of your soul! Hahaha…” Ghost Rider let out a roar of anger as Lin Rui involuntarily looked into Ghost Rider’s eyes.

With Lin Rui captured, Ghost Rider finally had the opportunity to use his ultimate move: the Penance Stare. Despite Lin Rui’s efforts to avoid looking into Ghost Rider’s black eyes, he found himself unable to resist the special energy emanating from them and eventually met Ghost Rider’s gaze.

Boom!

In the next instant, a powerful psychic force surged from Ghost Rider’s black eyes and penetrated Lin Rui’s eyes. While Lin Rui was in a trance, the psychic force broke through the fog and delved deep into the core of his soul.

The Penance Stare is Ghost Rider’s signature move, which allows him to look directly into the heart of any living being with a soul and make them experience the pain they have inflicted on their victims.

Through this process, the infernal flames burn the souls of those who have suffered under the Penance Stare clean. Lin Rui is now experiencing the full effects of being stared at by the eyes of repentance, which are capable of directly targeting the soul.

Hoo~

However, as Ghost Rider stared at Lin Rui’s soul with his Penance Stare, he seemed to see something that surprised him. There was a hint of something other than emptiness in his deep eyes.

“How could this be!?…” Ghost Rider whispered in disbelief after staring into Lin Rui’s eyes for two seconds.

Brush!

Just as Ghost Rider was caught off guard, Lin Rui snapped out of his trance and an azure light shone from his black and white eyes. A powerful psychic force burst from his mind, breaking through Ghost Rider’s control and the effects of the Penance Stare.

Upon fully regaining consciousness, Lin Rui wriggled out of Ghost Rider’s grasp and used a sudden burst of strength to break free from the restraints on his right hand.

Ka Ka Ka!

In the next moment, the iron chain wrapped around Lin Rui broke apart easily. Now free, Lin Rui lifted his leg and delivered a powerful kick to Ghost Rider’s chest, sending him flying through the air and putting some distance between them.

As Ghost Rider soared through the air, Lin Rui gracefully landed on the ground, his aura seemingly changed from before. Ghost Rider, who had been kicked by Lin Rui, stared at him blankly in shock.

“Your soul…is innocent!” Ghost Rider stared at Lin Rui for a few seconds before his skeleton mouth moved slightly to speak the words in his mind.

“Hmph! Even if my soul is innocent, you’ve really ticked me off now, and I’m ready to commit a crime!” Lin Rui snorted coldly in response to Ghost Rider’s words.

Boom!

Then, Lin Rui stepped forward and charged toward Ghost Rider. In the brief skirmish just now, Lin Rui had been at a disadvantage and the power of Hellfire was also greater than his internal energy. However, now he seemed to be stronger, which was highly unusual and very unreasonable.

But,

As he rushed toward Ghost Rider, Lin Rui’s right hand held a glowing azure long sword. It was this weapon that allowed him to cut through the chains that bound him and escape.

“You can’t withstand Ghost Rider’s anger!” Ghost Rider didn’t back down in the face of Lin Rui’s strong attack and picked up the broken chain from the ground, ready to face him.

“I want to see if I can bear it!” Holding up Azura’s long sword, Lin Rui shouted while waving the long sword and leaping to the top of Ghost Rider’s head.

Buzz buzz!

Boom!

At this moment, the turbulent Azura light gathered above Lin Rui’s head and quickly condensed into a huge Azura lightsaber. Then, as Lin Rui swung the huge Azura lightsaber, it slashed toward Ghost Rider below.

Rumble!

Ghost Rider, who had just picked up the iron chain and hadn’t had a chance to attack, was overwhelmed by the massive azure lightsaber and his flaming figure gradually dimmed under the suppression of the azure light. Eventually, he vanished from sight.

A few seconds later, the smoke and dust created by the massive azure lightsaber cleared, revealing a large hole that had been cut straight through the ground and into the floor below. Lin Rui used this move to cut through the first floor.

Brush!

Lin Rui seemed a little surprised by this turn of events and quickly jumped out of the hole and onto the floor below. There, he saw Johnny, who had returned to his human form, lying in the rubble. The blow that Lin Rui had just struck had forced Ghost Rider back into his original form.

Lin Rui quickly made his way to Johnny’s side and knelt down to assess his condition. As he bent down, Johnny suddenly coughed violently.

“Cough cough cough…” As he coughed violently, Johnny rolled over and prepared to stand up. It seemed that although Ghost Rider had been forced back into his original form, Johnny had not suffered much damage.

Call!

As Johnny struggled to get up, Lin Rui reached out and placed a hand on his shoulder.

“I didn’t do anything to your friend. Blackheart and the fallen angels around him did it. If it weren’t for me, he would be dead by now.” Lin Rui quickly explained as Johnny subconsciously tried to resist.

“You!……”

“Also, Blackheart took your girlfriend away, and he is using Roxanne’s life to coerce you into going to the cemetery to get the Contract of San Venganza.” Before Johnny had a chance to speak, Lin Rui continued.

“Blackheart?! Roxanne!” Johnny shouted out in worry upon hearing Lin Rui’s response.

“So, if you want to save your girlfriend, we still have to work together. This place has been surrounded by the police. #%*&s7646, this is my address. You can find me there once I leave.” Without further explanation, Lin Rui removed his hand from Johnny’s shoulder as soon as he finished speaking.

Brush!

Before Johnny had a chance to react, Lin Rui had already transformed into a black shadow and quickly vanished into the underground ruins.

After Lin Rui left, Johnny could hear footsteps approaching from all directions. As he thought about what Lin Rui had said before leaving, Johnny felt a wave of heat wash over him again.
