"Now can you hand over the remaining archival data?"
Ying Chen stared coldly at Lin Zhiping and asked.
Lin Zhiping grinned, "Of course. But I have to be honest with you about one thing: I have the authority to access ancient archival data, but for modern data... I don't."
"Things like national destiny that involve the future can only be accessed by the Director."
"Why don't you wait here for a few months? With your help, I believe I can successfully become the Director of the Eastern Region Branch before long. At that time, I'll definitely show you the archives immediately. How about it?"
Upon hearing this, Ying Chen's eyes narrowed instantly.
He looked like a ferocious tiger that had just decided to kill!
"Look at you, why are you angry? It's not like I'm not giving it to you, it's just a little later. You, how can you have no patience at all?" Lin Zhiping pouted and said.
Clearly, having successfully obtained the cultivation technique, he had no more scruples and was ready to turn his back on him!
Ying Chen's gaze was cold as he stared at Lin Zhiping, enunciating each word, "I advise you to honestly hand over the remaining archival data."
"Otherwise... no one in this world has ever been able to take something from me without paying a price."
Lin Zhiping couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"You say that like I'm so scared!"
"But it seems you've forgotten where you are now?"
"You're in the Heaven-grade prison now! If I don't let you out, you'll never get out in your life!"
"I know, you'll definitely threaten me by killing all the prisoners again. But I'm sorry, that move was quite effective earlier, but now... it's not anymore!"
"Because after obtaining your cultivation technique, my status has instantly changed! I've suddenly become one of the few rare masters with a Dharma Aspect! In the past, superiors might have punished the Lin Zhiping of that time without hesitation; the current Lin Zhiping will be revered and sought after by the superiors!"
"Kill, kill to your heart's content! I've long been displeased with those maggots in the prison. If you kill them all, I'll actually thank you. Because after I take over as Director, it will save me a lot of maintenance costs for guarding them!"
"And besides..." Lin Zhiping's tone shifted here.
"Are you a little too confident? What makes you think you can get out of Chi Liao's cell? You know, that's a luxury cell specifically designed for people like you!"
"Under the gaze of the Ming King's Eye, even a dragon must coil, and even a tiger must lie down!" Lin Zhiping's voice suddenly turned manic.
As his voice echoed, the prison cell where Ying Chen was suddenly changed.
The prison door rumbled down, and the runes carved on it seemed to come alive, emitting streams of light.
On the prison ceiling, the giant Buddha eye reappeared.
The cold and sinister eyes stared intently at Ying Chen, and a strange power descended from the eyes to the ground.
It instantly surrounded Ying Chen.
At the same time, runes lit up one by one on the prison walls. These runes connected to form a giant talisman band, detaching from the walls and surging directly towards Ying Chen!
At Ying Chen's feet, a vortex formed by intertwined talismans also appeared.
The vortex spun faster and faster, and its scope grew larger and larger, until it finally covered the entire prison floor.
Ying Chen was like a lone boat caught in a whirlpool, unable to control himself, and could only sink into it!
"Tsk tsk, are you still being stubborn now?"
"Why do you think I tricked you into Chi Liao's cell? Wasn't it precisely to activate the Buddha Eye Formation within the cell!"
"Under the ultimate form of the formation, no matter your strength or realm, you will all be reduced to the lowest-level shrimp! Then, you will be slowly eroded by the formation, your flesh and blood devoured, until you become a dry skeleton!" Lin Zhiping laughed triumphantly through the glass.
And everyone suddenly understood why Chi Liao had maintained a seated posture without moving.
It turned out Chi Liao dared not move!
If he moved, he would be eroded by the formation, and if he moved, he would disperse his power and become a sacrifice to the formation!
And Chi Liao at that time was only facing the initial form of the formation.
If he were to face the ultimate form of the formation like this, Chi Liao would not even last a quarter of an hour before being directly killed!
"Terrifying... truly terrifying!" The other prisoners in the Heaven-grade prison stared at this scene in utter horror, trembling as they spoke.
"How long do you think this guy can last?"
"I guess a minute!"
"I guess two minutes!"
"Heh, it's not that I'm looking down on him, but I guess he can't even last thirty seconds! I've studied formations quite a bit, and this formation is simply the most terrifying life-killing formation I've ever seen! Thirty seconds is definitely his limit!" a prisoner who was skilled in formations said confidently.
Then he began to count down.
"Ten."
"Eleven."
"Fifteen."
"Twenty."
...
When he counted to twenty-eight, the power of the formation had reached its peak.
A terrifying power, like a raging ocean, transformed into two giant grinding stones, one above and one below.
And in the middle was Ying Chen's body!
The grinding stones rumbled, intending to crush Ying Chen to pieces!
"Twenty-nine!" The prisoner skilled in formations excitedly counted the second to last number.
"Thirty!"
"Die!" The prisoner raised his arms and announced gleefully.
But in the next second, he was struck by lightning and stood there dumbfounded.
He saw Ying Chen in the middle of the grinding stones lazily raise his hands, pointing one hand to the sky and the other to the ground.
And with Ying Chen's movement, a deafening explosion sounded from the sky and the ground simultaneously!
It turned out that the Buddha eye in the sky and the talismans on the ground had all exploded into dust!
The giant grinding stones formed by the formation's power also instantly dissipated!
The entire prison cell trembled several times, and the steel frame actually showed layers of distortion!
"One finger pointing to the sky, one finger pointing to the earth... this is the gesture of a Buddhist master when they are born! It signifies that heaven and earth are supreme, and only I am honored!"
"He actually used Buddhist means to break a Buddhist formation. Unbelievable, unbelievable..." The prisoner skilled in formations muttered to himself, his eyes filled with shock.
Then he suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up, "See? I predicted correctly! It didn't exceed thirty seconds! I really am a genius!"
"..." The other prisoners were speechless.
Indeed, if one has no shame, they can conquer the world!
"Impossible!" Lin Zhiping exclaimed in horror in the interrogation room.
The indestructible Buddha Eye Formation had been broken by Ying Chen with just a flick of his wrist?
If Ying Chen had barely survived and used all his might to break the formation, he could have somewhat accepted it.
But Ying Chen only moved his fingers!
Lin Zhiping felt his worldview severely impacted and couldn't accept this fact.
"This thing, is this your confidence for turning your back on me?" Ying Chen looked at Lin Zhiping with a mocking smile.
Lin Zhiping's facial muscles twitched twice, but he didn't answer.
After a long while, he raised his head and said in a mad and violent tone, "You're celebrating too early! Don't you forget, even if you can break the Buddha Eye Formation, you can't get out of the Heaven-grade prison!"
"You will still be trapped to death inside!"
"The ultimate winner will still be me!"
"You are only fit to cower at my feet, serving as a stepping stone for my ascent!"
Upon hearing this, Ying Chen revealed a playful smile and retorted, "Is that so?"
Then he suddenly stepped forward and brought down his palm!
