I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 162 - 118: Skinning Scissors and Bone Disassembly Needle

Chapter 162: Chapter 118: Skinning Scissors and Bone Disassembly Needle

It was night.

The streets of Jade Belt City were silent and deserted.

The shops in the marketplace had closed early, no longer serving customers.

Every house had shut its doors and windows, hiding inside and not daring to go out.

Lin Chen also stayed in the inn, asking the attendant to bring some snacks and drinks up the stairs early.

He took out a palm-sized device, and a virtual projection appeared in front of him.

The image in the projection was none other than Long Ba and Feng Jiu, two Martial Arts Puppets.

Long Ba and Feng Jiu were seen walking down the desolate street, swaying as if they were a pair of drunken Dao companions.

Such a perfect target, Lin Chen didn’t believe that the Puppet Hall hiding in the shadows would let them go.

"Hmm, according to Jade Ghost, those Skinning Cultivators are only at the Foundation Establishment Stage... hardly a threat to Long Ba and Feng Jiu..."

Lin Chen simply watched the projection while munching on snacks, patiently waiting.

He waited for nearly half a two-hour period, feeling a bit bored.

At that moment, two fleeting dark shadows appeared on the screen...

Lin Chen instantly focused, observing carefully.

He issued instructions to Long Ba and Feng Jiu, slowing down the shared view to finally see the two shadows clearly.

They were wrapped in mist, revealing a pale ghost face.

Their movement speed was extremely fast, almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.

"It seems they can pass through walls... tsk tsk, are these ghosts responsible for skinning from the Ghost-Exorcising Sect?"

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, indicating a certain degree of collaboration between the Puppet Hall and the Ghost-Exorcising Sect.

He continued watching the screen.

He saw the two shadows slowly approaching Long Ba and Feng Jiu along the ground, ultimately emitting a black mist to envelop them.

Later, the black mist transformed into black lines in the air, drifting in a direction.

"Is this a Hallucinatory Type of Technique?"

Lin Chen rubbed his chin, knowing Long Ba and Feng Jiu, being puppets, wouldn’t be affected.

But Lin Chen planned to go along with it.

After issuing orders to Long Ba and Feng Jiu, the two puppets followed the black mist to a direction in the south of the city.

About fifteen minutes later, the hiding mist in the corner started to take shape.

Transforming into human-shaped mist, they attacked Long Ba and Feng Jiu.

The mist wrapped around two Magical Artifacts shining with unusual glow, which Lin Chen saw and nodded:

"Skinning Scissors, Bone Disassembly Needle... they indeed match the two Magical Treasures Jade Ghost mentioned!"

According to Jade Ghost, he wasn’t the only one responsible for skinning in the city.

The Puppet Hall and the Ghost-Exorcising Sect had a total of more than ten people responsible for skinning.

And these Skinning Cultivators were equipped with these two Artifacts.

Skinning Scissors could stealthily strip the skin from mortals or even cultivators, removing the entire skin without them knowing.

By the time they realized, they had already lost too much blood and died painfully...

As for the Bone Disassembly Needle, it could pierce into the flesh, fusing bones for better refining into puppets.

That’s why, after the bizarre skinning incidents in the city, only a complete skin would be left, while the flesh and bones vanished.

"Ghost manipulation, finally found the culprit..."

"From the current situation, the Skinning Cultivators indeed have Foundation Establishment Cultivation."

"Seems like I need to go and take a look..."

Lin Chen glanced at Long Ba and Feng Jiu’s position, then climbed out the window onto the street, quickly heading there.

At the same time, on the screen, Long Ba and Feng Jiu were engaging the two Skinning Cultivators.

The Skinning Scissors gleamed with a demonic red light, stabbing towards Long Ba’s dantian.

This was intended to start skinning from the navel, eventually peeling off an entire skin.

Clang!

However, the Skinning Scissors hit Long Ba’s body, making a sound of metal clashing.

Long Ba was unharmed and continued to walk.

Yet, far away, the cultivator using the Skinning Scissors was stunned. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"What’s going on? Why is this guy’s skin so thick? The Skinning Scissors can’t peel it off..."

This was the first time he encountered such a situation.

In the past, whether it was mortals or Qi Refining Cultivators, upon encountering the Skinning Scissors, they could be easily skinned like a sheet of paper.

But now, the Skinning Scissors lost its function?

"No, something is off!"

The cultivator was stunned, manipulating the Skinning Scissors to try and peel Feng Jiu’s skin, but it also failed.

"Don’t just stand there, use your Bone Disassembly Needle!"

The cultivator reminded.

The other shadowy cultivator nodded, summoned the Bone Disassembly Needle, and aimed it at Long Ba.

Ding!

A crisp sound was heard, and the Bone Disassembly Needle couldn’t penetrate the skin, instead being bounced far away.

Long Ba and Feng Jiu’s skin and bones were made from high-tier exotic metals.

Far exceeding the solidity of the Magical Treasures, how could they be disassembled?

The successive failures made the two Skinning Cultivators realize the situation.

"It’s wrong! These two are problematic... let’s stop skinning and run!"

With a whisper, the two cultivators attempted to flee.

But Lin Chen wasn’t about to let them go so easily.

He quickly issued attack commands to Long Ba and Feng Jiu...

Long Ba and Feng Jiu turned into afterimages, swiftly rushing towards the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

The two cultivators responded quickly, taking out Magical Treasures and attacking Long Ba and Feng Jiu.

But the Magical Treasures impacted the puppets, only causing sounds of metal clashing and leaving shallow scars.

Puppets don’t fear pain and won’t stop.

As long as the core power systems aren’t damaged, Long Ba and Feng Jiu can keep fighting.

After a fierce charge, Long Ba and Feng Jiu had closed in on the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

A mighty fist wind struck the Protective True Essence of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
