Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 1000: Chapter 1009: Seven Deadly Sins – Greed (Part 1)

First, without worrying if it’s an illusion or not, Lin Xi crouched down and propped Avril against the side, which was definitely better than lying on the ground.

As for the other two elders, he thought it best to let them continue lying on the ground.

They’re neither family nor friends, and most importantly, they’re not beautiful ladies, so he couldn’t be bothered to play the good guy.

"You seem to be enjoying yourself?" he said, looking at Avril’s flushed face, though she couldn’t hear him.

However, when he took her pulse, he found that her blood circulation was extremely fast, and he also sensed her spirit weakening constantly.

"I can’t let her continue like this, otherwise, she’ll be in grave danger!"

The next moment, he retrieved the silver needle box from the Jade Pendant Space and began to administer acupuncture to Avril.

Ten minutes later, Lin Xi’s face turned very grim.

Of course, it wasn’t because he expended too much energy, but because he tried various methods, even the Nine Divine Needles of Heaven-Reversing, yet Avril did not wake up.

Nonetheless, these ten minutes of treatment weren’t entirely ineffective.

At least her blood circulation and spiritual weakness slowed down by more than half.

Otherwise, ten minutes later, Avril would most likely be GG.

"What to do?"

Now he was feeling a headache, although he had managed to suppress some of the symptoms, she hadn’t woken up and was still in the illusion realm.

If he didn’t solve it, Avril would eventually be GG.

At this point, he checked on the two elders again and found they were much weaker than before, and the rate of their weakening was very fast, though because they were Innate Powerhouses, they had more resistance than Avril.

But even so, they probably wouldn’t hold out for long.

He stood up and looked at the Spirit Stone on the stone table, finding nothing unusual.

And that pink-covered secret manual, it also seemed normal.

So where was this illusion triggered from?

Or rather, where was the source of this illusion?

As long as he could find the source and destroy it, the three should be able to escape from the illusion?

No matter if they could escape or not, this was the only method he had now.

"If the old man were here, he should’ve had a way to help them break the illusion!" he couldn’t help but think, for in his view, the old man, though sleazy, seemed to know everything.

And for him, this was the first time encountering an illusion, he had absolutely no way to deal with it, even he nearly fell for it just now.

The stone chamber wasn’t big, less than 40 square meters, complete with everything except a kitchen.

Originally, many living items and the owner’s secret treasures should have been in here.

But as time passed, the entire stone chamber had been reduced to a single secret manual and a Spirit Stone, almost everything else turned to ashes.

He spent some more time to confirm once again, within the whole stone chamber, there was only a secret manual and a Spirit Stone, and nowhere else seemed abnormal.

Headache!

If not resolved, the two old guys would die in three minutes.

And in five minutes, Avril would die too.

He didn’t care if the two old guys died, but if Avril died, honestly speaking, he would feel quite heartbroken.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t take the risk to come in alone to rescue her without knowing the conditions of the Holy Land.

Moreover, he had no need for Spirit Stones or secret manuals.

Could it be an Array or something? Or magic?

Thinking this way, it really was a possibility.

He checked every area of the floor and ceiling stones, yet still found nothing wrong.

At this moment, in a state of having no solutions, he casually picked up the secret manual beside him.

As he intended to open it, he almost felt a dizziness without any warning.

Hmm?

The same feeling as when he first entered the stone chamber appeared again.

And it was much stronger than before.

However, it didn’t affect him much since the Xuanyuan Divine Dragon Art in his body operated instantly, and that feeling disappeared right away.

He even felt, at this moment, even without the Xuanyuan Divine Dragon Art, his strength would also help him not be affected much.

"Secret manual?"

He was very surprised!

"Is the illusion caused by the secret manual?"

No further words were necessary, he could feel an enticing power from the manual, it seemed to draw out the deepest desires from within.

"Then if I destroy it now, will it break the illusion?"

Thinking this, he intended to use True Qi to turn the secret manual to dust.

Suddenly, right at the moment of using True Qi, he inexplicably turned to the first page of the manual.

Because the cover of the manual didn’t specify what it was.

When he opened to the first page, he found it was blank, indeed the entire manual was blank.

"Hmm?"

"What’s going on?"

Just as he was puzzled, the manual instantly turned into a pink mist and rushed towards his forehead at an incredible speed.

Lin Xi was startled, had he been ambushed?

Without thinking, he immediately operated the Xuanyuan Divine Dragon Art to try to expel the pink mist.

"Nothing?"

Or rather, no reaction at all.

The pink mist seemed to have disappeared.

While he was still wondering, information suddenly appeared in his mind: Greed of the Seven Deadly Sins!

And by this moment, he also noticed that Avril and the two elders, the moment the manual turned into a mist, their blood and spirit stopped deteriorating, but they were still weak and hadn’t regained consciousness immediately.

"Greed?"

"Could it mean it can incite greed within people?"

With this thought, he sensed that he could readily unleash this move, and the power was not trivial.

Bear in mind, even the two Innate Powerhouses on the ground got caught in it.

Despite their severely reduced strength and being caught without any guard, those two were still Innate Powerhouses nonetheless.

Besides, this should be a form of spiritual attack, not needing physical contact, making the attack weird and ever-changing.

Initially, he wasn’t interested in coming to the Holy Land, thinking there was nothing he needed.

Now he thought otherwise.

This move of Greed could significantly amplify his power.

It’s similar to when two experts battle, one side suddenly launches a spiritual attack, an unpreventable affair.

And as far as he knew, no one had such an eccentric spiritual attack, capable of killing someone through greed.

Thinking of these gave him some excitement, he couldn’t help but think to himself, "Could there be other Seven Deadly Sins in this Stone Mountain?"
