After a moment's thought, he realized that this must be the effect of psychic "foreseeing of bad consequences".

Bird-type spirits are inherently agile, and with the added advantage of anticipating danger, dodging their crude attacks—which rely on intuition to pinpoint the approximate location rather than seeing the target—is relatively easy.

After clarifying the doubts, he couldn't help but sigh, "Don't underestimate the Three-Eyed Spiritual Radiance. In the world of psychic energy, it is definitely a T0 level psychic energy. It can directly obtain information about the opponent. If you encounter a problem, you can look for the answer in the options and see which one matches."

Otherwise, he would first have to define a general range based on his opponent's performance, then select the psionic energy that met the criteria from the vast pool of psionic energy, and finally verify them one by one through testing.

People who frequently take exams know that multiple-choice questions and fill-in-the-blank questions are drastically different in difficulty, especially in multiple-choice questions where the options can vary greatly.

"You're good at dodging, huh? How about this instead?"

Tang Ping inputted spiritual power, manipulating the Water Spirit Orb to change its form, transforming it from a long sword into a fly swatter, greatly increasing its attack range.

Since we can't interfere with the opponent's ability to foresee danger, we can simply prevent them from dodging even if they sense danger.

The fly swatter was swung twice, and the sensation of hitting an object was immediately felt. Although there was still no sound, Tang Ping pressed her advantage and swatted at the area below the entry.

"B-bastard!"

The liquid water spirit orb is as hard as steel. Even if it doesn't cause fatal injury when hit, the continuous blows caused He Fengsheng unbearable pain. He immediately cursed and activated his spiritual energy "One Hit Wonder".

The invisible sound waves spread out, and although Tang Ping had been protected by a soundproofing spell, she was still affected and not completely immune. Her blood surged, her heart beat faster, and her limbs felt numb and weak.

Fortunately, the feeling was fleeting, and I returned to normal in a few breaths.

He saw the entry rushing towards him and realized that his opponent was trying to launch a sneak attack. So he decided to play along, pretending to be weak and powerless, and prepared to launch a fatal counterattack when his opponent got close.

"careful!"

Unexpectedly, Yuan Ji was also fooled by Tang Ping's acting skills. Although she could not see the entry, she realized with her rich combat experience that the opponent would definitely take the opportunity to attack. She decisively stood in front of Tang Ping and deflected the opponent's attack with her halberd.

Tang Ping felt quite helpless, but he lacked the ability to communicate telepathically, nor could he voice his plans aloud. Such an unexpected incident was inevitable. After a moment's thought, he decided to continue pretending.

Just as Yuan Ji deflected his opponent's attack, he felt a chill coming from the side. He drew a sharp arc with his Azure Dragon Halberd and slashed towards the source of the chill.

"clang!"

A metallic clang rang out, ripples spread through the air, and a figure could be vaguely seen appearing before disappearing.

The next moment, He Fengsheng circled behind Yuan Ji, holding a feather blade covered in a layer of yin energy, and slashed towards his neck.

Yuan Ji spun around, turning the Azure Dragon Halberd behind him to block the sneak attacking feather blade, sending up a spray of black sparks. Then, with a flick of the halberd blade, he precisely slashed at He Fengsheng's wrist.

He Fengsheng was startled and quickly retreated, not understanding how his opponent had seen his movements.

Tang Ping's behavior was within his comprehension; it was nothing more than obtaining observation-type spiritual energy through the unique spiritual personality outside of magical artifacts or intelligence. Therefore, her gaze followed his movements, and wherever he went, Tang Ping looked in that direction.

But Yuan Ji didn't even look at him, and he could predict the attack from behind without even turning his head. How did he do that?

Even his psychic ability to "foresee bad outcomes" couldn't be that precise.

Undeterred, He Fengsheng once again condensed Yin Qi feather blades and, taking advantage of his speed, rapidly moved around Yuan Ji, launching continuous attacks.

Yuan Ji stood still, relying on his extraordinary martial arts intuition to deflect He Fengsheng's attacks time and time again, and deliver powerful counterattacks.

The two figures clashed repeatedly, the sounds of weapons clashing were incessant, and the surrounding space seemed to have become a cruel battlefield, filled with thick smoke and flames.

After exchanging blows for a while, Yuan Ji said, "I've figured out your attack patterns."

As she spoke, she directly predicted He Fengsheng's attack trajectory. The Azure Dragon Halberd in her hand drew a perfect arc in the air, colliding with He Fengsheng's Yin Qi Feather Blade again, and then twisting and thrusting in the process!

"Uh!"

He Fengsheng groaned in pain, his hand injured, and quickly retreated to create distance.

Just as he was about to catch his breath and think about what to do next, his psionic "foresight" sent him a warning image. It turned out that his opponent had located him based on the blood dripping from his tiger's mouth onto the ground and stabbed him through with a halberd.

He Fengsheng's expression changed drastically. He quickly covered the wound with his other hand and moved away.

Almost simultaneously with his actions, the Azure Dragon Halberd pierced through the air and plunged into the ground where he had been standing.

Yuan Ji frowned slightly upon seeing this. She thought this attack would definitely hit, but she didn't expect the opponent's reaction speed to be even faster than before.

Of course, this is not unusual. People can unleash energy far exceeding their usual levels in times of crisis, and martial artists can break through their limits in life-or-death duels. Such things are common. It's just that this one was missed, and the opponent's whereabouts were lost.

Yuan Ji lowered his gaze to the ground, but found no new bloodstains. He secretly admired the other party's quick reaction, noting that they had realized this and taken timely remedial action, which raised his opinion of them.

Being able to promptly identify one's own weaknesses in the heat of battle is already a quality of a first-rate martial artist.

At this moment, Tang Ping spoke up: "Use the airflow to lock onto the opponent's location."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ji suddenly understood. He immediately drew his halberd and swung it fiercely, the powerful force creating a strong whirlwind that swept away the surrounding air.

The whirlwind was harmless. He Fengsheng felt the wind blowing against his face, tightened his feather robe to avoid being blown away, and wondered about his opponent's intentions.

Suddenly, the Azure Dragon Halberd struck him like lightning toward his chest. He quickly dodged to the side, the blade grazing his arm and creating a gust of wind that made his clothes flutter loudly.

He Fengsheng dared not linger and quickly retreated a few steps to create distance. He immediately realized that his opponent had discovered his location by sensing the movement of the air.

While I understood the situation, I couldn't immediately figure out how to interfere.

Yuan Ji used the same trick again, but this time he didn't use physical means to control the wind. Instead, he used spiritual magic to summon a continuous airflow, re-locked the enemy's position, and attacked with his halberd.

Seeing this, He Fengsheng became increasingly anxious. He kept changing his position, trying to break free from his opponent's lock-on, but no matter how he moved, his opponent could accurately attack in his direction.

Yuan Ji wielded the Azure Dragon Halberd with impenetrable speed, creating a dense barrage of halberd shadows. Wherever it went, the air was torn apart, and deep trenches were carved into the ground, firmly suppressing his opponent.

He Fengsheng felt as if he were being caught in a large net, with the space for him to move and dodge constantly shrinking. If this continued, by the time the spiritual energy sent a warning, he would probably be powerless to do anything.

He considered using "A Stunning Strike" to force his opponent to back down, but this psychic power wasn't the kind that could be triggered with a mere thought; it required coordination with actions, including a process of inhaling and vocalizing.

Tang Ping used a three-meter-long fly swatter, which was far enough away, and with a series of random swatting attacks, He Fengsheng had enough time to prepare. Yuan Ji, on the other hand, fought in close combat, pressing forward with every move, leaving no room for breathing, and had no chance to activate his spiritual energy.

Seeing that he was about to be driven into a corner, He Fengsheng had no choice but to summon the ghost child to harass him.

In an instant, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and a sinister aura spread. One after another, illusory ghost children emerged from He Fengsheng's body and pounced on Yuan Ji. Their faces were distorted, and they let out shrill screams that sent chills down one's spine.

"Don't you know I'm a tiger demon?"

Yuan Ji's eyes turned into vertical pupils, and he activated his spiritual energy, exuding a murderous aura. The ghost child was so frightened by his gaze that he dared not move.

The ghost children that others couldn't see were as bright as lanterns in the dark to Ma Yiming. He immediately activated his spiritual technique to summon the Soul-Locking Chains and bind all the ghost children.

At the same time, Yuan Ji glared at He Fengsheng.

He Fengsheng foresaw through his spiritual power that he would be beheaded in the brief moment of mental shock and disorientation, so he quickly looked away and avoided meeting Yuan Ji's gaze.

But this made his situation even more dangerous. After all, he dared not look directly at his opponent in battle, and he was bound to miss some. He could only rely on the vision of his impending death to survive.

Yuan Ji found the fight increasingly strange. Her opponent's combat skills were quite ordinary, and he had never shown any martial arts intuition in previous battles. Yet now that she had the upper hand, her opponent had repeatedly shown unexpected performances, always managing to dodge her killing moves at the last second.

Just as she was pondering how to respond, she heard a desperate plea from the other end:

"No, stop—"

The next moment, a giant water net leaped up from the ground and closed in.

However, Tang Ping was secretly manipulating the Water Spirit Orb to expand continuously, covering the surrounding ground completely. Moreover, in order to conserve spiritual energy, he chose a net-like structure.

He Fengsheng saw himself being pierced through by a halberd after being caught in the net, but the net on the ground was more than thirty meters in diameter, and it was too late for him to escape.

In despair, he channeled his psychic energy to grow a pair of blood wings and flew upwards, but the ceiling above was also covered by a net that descended and enveloped him—he foresaw this outcome but was powerless to change it.

"I surrender! I have intelligence on the New Territories Alliance!"

The Azure Dragon Halberd stopped less than two centimeters from He Fengsheng's throat.

Yuan Ji turned to Tang Ping and asked, "What should we do? Kill him or capture him alive?"

Just as Tang Ping was about to speak, He Fengsheng suddenly looked terrified and quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "I have information about the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum!"

Just now, the psionic energy took effect again. In that future, Tang Ping glanced to the side and saw that Zhou Canglan was still fighting Gu Linglong. Under the pretext of avoiding increasing variables, he asked Yuan Ji to kill him.

"Tell me about it," Tang Ping said noncommittally.

He Fengsheng breathed a slight sigh of relief and was about to use words to stall for time when his spiritual power suddenly took effect again. It turned out that Tang Ping had discovered his stalling and immediately ordered Yuan Ji to kill him.

"It's a magic elixir! Xu Fu's magic elixir is in Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum!"

He Fengsheng felt extremely aggrieved. This fox demon man seemed quite weak, so why was he so bloodthirsty? He would order someone to be silenced if they didn't cooperate at all.

The "foreseeable consequences" are triggered one after another, bringing back a series of death scenes: being killed while trying to escape, being killed after lying and being exposed, and even being suspected of stalling for time and having other schemes if he takes a few extra breaths, so he is simply killed to prevent future troubles.

I am a fisherman and a fisherman.

Despite his frustration, He Fengsheng had no choice but to cooperate obediently and give out his information as completely as possible: "Xu Fu's elixir can greatly increase spiritual power, but this effect is secondary. The key is that it can help you break through realms. If your spiritual power reaches the standard for the next stage after the increase, you can directly advance without any side effects. The only hidden danger is that if you lack sufficient accumulation of spiritual power, the success rate of advancement cannot be guaranteed."

This is indeed an exceptionally precious treasure. Just as Tang Ping was about to ask further questions, He Fengsheng quickly replied, "It was a divination by the Grand Priest. I cannot guarantee that the information is true. The priest predicted that a medicinal treasure with the effect of breaking through realms would appear here. We then used the legend of Qin Shi Huang to deduce that this is Xu Fu's elixir."

Tang Ping thought for a moment and asked, "Legend has it that Xu Fu was ordered by Qin Shi Huang to find the elixir of immortality? Why did it become a medicine to enhance cultivation?"

This time, no death scene was triggered. He Fengsheng hadn't anticipated Tang Ping's question. After thinking for a moment, he replied truthfully, "Legends and reality are bound to differ. No one can guarantee that they understand all the rules of the psychic world. We can't rule out the possibility that the priest's prophecy was wrong. But in any case, Xu Fu's elixir is definitely an incomparably precious treasure. We don't know its exact location, nor do we know if there are other treasures in Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum. But Zhou Canglan came for the elixir. After all, for psychics, nothing is more precious than improving their strength."

After a moment's thought, Tang Ping first took out the Nine Sons Nether Bell to collect all the ghost children, preparing to refine them into Yin Nether Spiritual Power. Then she said to He Fengsheng, "Tell me Zhou Canglan's weakness. Kill him, and you can live happily ever after with his wife."

Without hesitation, He Fengsheng corrected, "Liu Lingling isn't married, she's not his wife!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked surprised and asked, "How did you know?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ji immediately cast a disdainful glance at him and said coldly, "I hate third-party interference the most. Can you kill him?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Yiming whistled: "Brother, I admire you. You actually set your sights on the boss's woman. You have guts."

He then raised his middle finger at the other person.

Chapter 125 Hidden Dangers

He Fengsheng remained unmoved by Ma Yiming's teasing. He looked at Tang Ping and said, "You know Zhou Canglan's name, which can be explained by your strong intelligence gathering ability, but how do you know about my relationship with Liu Lingling?"

Tang Ping said expressionlessly, "He's a prisoner and he still talks so much. Yuan Ji, kill him."

"Wait, wait a minute, please let me die peacefully..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yuan Ji pierced He Fengsheng's throat with his halberd, silencing him.

……

The images of death transmitted by psychic energy flashed through He Fengsheng's mind. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. This fox demon was too cautious, not revealing a single word, causing his plans to obtain information through his abilities to repeatedly fail.

On the surface, "foreseeing the consequences" is just a kind of precognitive psychic ability to avoid death, but in reality, it can also be used as a tool for obtaining information. This is because many people, after securing victory, do not mind revealing some important information to their captives, so as to enjoy the expression on the captives' faces when they learn the truth before they die.

He Fengsheng had used this method in the past to obtain countless important pieces of information and reversed situations that seemed certain to lead to his death.

Because this is in the future on another timeline, and has not yet happened in the current timeline, even the murderer himself was unaware that he had leaked information, and did not understand what went wrong until his death.

However, Tang Ping already knew that He Fengsheng had such abilities, so he was extremely vigilant. He would rather kill the wrong person than be careless. He would kill the person if they showed any intention of asking for information. He did not reveal any information in any timeline.

He Fengsheng was extremely frustrated. "Foreseeing the bad consequences" could only be done five seconds in advance, not enough time for him to slowly lay the groundwork. Moreover, it was not without cost and could not be used without restraint. Each trigger would consume a certain amount of spiritual power, and when the spiritual power was insufficient to pay for it, it would no longer be triggered.

He estimated that he only had enough spiritual energy left for seven more uses.

It sounds like a lot, but given his current situation as a captive, he could be killed for some reason if he's not careful. In addition, he needs to reserve his spiritual power in case of any unforeseen circumstances, lest he foresee his death but be unable to escape due to a lack of spiritual power. Therefore, he cannot use it all for testing.

He Fengsheng stopped wasting time on pointless conversation and went straight to the point: "How can you guarantee that you won't kill me to cover it up after I tell you?"

Tang Ping did not make promises lightly, but objectively analyzed: "There is no substantial guarantee, only a logical one. Right now, you are just a burden, because we are going to deal with Zhou Canglan. Killing you is safer than keeping you alive. But if we find out Zhou Canglan's weakness and kill him successfully, then you will be more valuable alive than dead. Moreover, with your weakness, we can use you with confidence."

"From your own perspective, it's safer to join us than to stay with the New Territories Alliance. Otherwise, even if you elope with Liu Lingling, you'll still be hunted down by the New Territories Alliance. In that case, you'll still need to find a powerful organization for protection. Since the outcome is the same, wouldn't it be better to skip this step altogether?"

He Fengsheng subconsciously wanted to ask how the other party knew about his plan to elope with Liu Lingling, but when he thought about how few uses of "foreseeing the consequences" were left, he held back. After all, based on his previous experiences of dying, the other party would most likely kill him without answering.

He hesitated, saying, "Liu Lingling is naive. Knowing that I betrayed Zhou Canglan, even if she likes me a lot, she won't be with me."

Where do you get the confidence to think Liu Lingling likes you?

Tang Ping was speechless. This was probably the self-conquest strategy of a simp. This guy was quite shrewd in other aspects, but he became foolish and blindly trusting when it came to love.

He said, "On the other hand, this will become your weakness that we can use to control you. Not only will you want to keep it a secret, but we will also do our best to keep it a secret for you."

"Can……"

He Fengsheng still hesitated, because this was like planting a huge time bomb, and he didn't know when it would explode. He only regretted that his ability was not to foresee the future, and he didn't know what kind of timeline his current decision would lead to.

Tang Ping was too lazy to give the other party any more time to think, and pressed, "Time is tight. I'll give you a maximum of 30 seconds. You must give me an answer within 30 seconds."

He Fengsheng said with a wry smile, "If you don't answer in 30 seconds, you'll kill me?"

Tang Ping smiled and said, "There's no need to do it yourself. In 30 seconds, we'll loudly tell Zhou Canglan that you've been having an affair with his woman, that you've been having an affair, and that you've even planned to elope with her. I really want to know, at that point, will Liu Lingling choose Zhou Canglan or you? Will Zhou Canglan be so heartless as to kill the woman who betrayed him? Even if we let you go, will you be able to go back alive?"

In fact, the affair between He Fengsheng and Liu Lingling was a scheme deliberately set up by Zhou Canglan. He didn't care about the matter; it was just that he would lose face if he exposed it, but in the future, he could openly use it as leverage to blackmail He Fengsheng into doing things for him.

However, He Fengsheng was unaware of this matter, and based on his past interactions, Zhou Canglan was a cold-blooded and ruthless man who would betray everyone for his own benefit. In his mind, Zhou Canglan would definitely kill Liu Lingling, who betrayed him, without any regard for their past relationship.

"You...you can't do this!"

He Fengsheng was panicked for the first time.
