The Finger of Death turned into a ray black light as it shot out. Ripples appeared around it, and even the ripples had lightning crackling along them.
The sound echoed and continued to expand before becoming bursts of thunder that were descending from the sky. The power of thunder around the Finger of Death was even more powerful; it was as if it was the wrath of the divine retribution lightning.
With one finger, the light around Huan Dongâs body disintegrated without any resistance. His expression immediately became pale and he quickly retreated. The power of that finger was too strong, to the point that even with his cultivation, his heart trembled.
However, that ray of black light was like a black dragon. It charged directly at the retreating Huan Dong.
Huan Dong slapped his bag of holding and a metal sword came out. At the same time, his right hand formed a seal and he pressed it down on the sword. He shouted, âMight of metal!â
The metal sword flew directly at the Finger of Death.
An earth-shattering explosion suddenly erupted in the sky. A series of crackling sounds occurred when the Finger of Death collided with the metal sword before the metal sword shattered inch by inch until the sword disappeared. The Finger of Death pierced through space like a ray of lightning and arrived before Huan Dong. In the moment of crisis, Huan Dongâs hand formed a seal and collided with the Finger of Death.
A thunderous roar echoed throughout the area. Huan Dongâs body trembled and he coughed out a mouthful of blood. He retreated like he was a meteor, and as he did so, lightning flickered all over his body. Every time the lightning flickered, his injuries became worse. This lightning was extremely strange, as a portion of it surrounded his origin soul, making his origin soul struggle with extreme pain.
His face was pale and filled with terror.
âWhat kind of thunder is this?! What kind of cultivation does this person have!? If just one spell was enough to seriously injure me like this, then this person is definitely not from planet Ran Yun. I canât fight; I must quickly leave and report this back to Miss!â Huan Dong slapped his leg and white light immediately began to shine from it. He became even faster, to the point that half of his body had already disappeared into the void and he was just about to teleport away.
When Wang Lin was at the early stage of Ascendant, but his spells had already surpassed those of mid stage Ascendant cultivators. The gap between the late stage of Ascendant and the earlier two stages was too great, but he could fight against mid stage Ascendant cultivators.
Now, although he was still at the early stage of Ascendant, the amount of celestial spiritual energy in his body was infinitely close to what mid stage Ascendant cultivators had. He only needed an enlightenment in his domain to break into the mid stage of Ascendant.
Therefore, killing this Huan Dong was as easy as waving his hand.
Wang Linâs eyes became cold after seeing Huan Dong trying to escape. Since he took their payment, he would need to get rid of the disaster. Sometimes it was impossible to tell what was right or wrong.
Wang Lin gently slapped his bag of holding and the Seven Star Sword Formation flew out as seven rays of light. The Seven Star Sword Formation was created by Sword Saint Ling Tianhou, so how could anyone defend against it? In the blink of an eye, the seven swords charged out and arrived before Huan Dong the moment he was about to disappear into the void. The seven souls from the swords immediately appeared and fused into one. The fused beast let out a roar and fiercely clawed at Huan Dong.
A sound like mirror breaking echoed across the sky. Inside the void, Huan Dongâs eyes were filled with terror, and the beast forcibly pulled Huan Dong out from the void. When he was out, the seven swords surrounded Huan Dong, their tips pointing close to his body. If he moved even the slightly, the swords would penetrate his body and destroy his soul.
From the moment Huan Dong appeared to when he was captured, everything happened extremely quickly; only several breaths of time had passed.
The Ran familyâs ancestor sucked in a breath of cold air. Although he had personally felt Wang Linâs spells and knew that they were powerful, watching one as a third party was a completely different experience.
There was dread in his eyes. Before, when Wang Lin attacked him, there was only the flash of a black shadow and he almost died. Now he realized that the black shadow wasnât Wang Linâs only spell. It seemed like every spell Wang Lin used was extremely terrifying.
He completely made up his mind that he would never make an enemy out of his Xu Mu!
The terror that Carefree Shenren felt in his heart wasnât any weaker than what the Ran familyâs ancestor felt. He looked at the Seven Star Sword Formation and took a deep breath. At this moment, he had no doubt that if Xu Mu wanted to kill him, he wouldnât be able to resist at all.
âIâm afraid his cultivation might be at the peak of the late stage of Ascendant!â
Relatively speaking, Sun Xi was much more calm. In his heart, he thought that Wang Linâs cultivation level was extremely high. At this moment, he felt better and thought, âIf this Xu Mu is this strong, I need to make sure I have a good relationship with him.â
Huan Dongâs scalp went number. The seven swords around him were like knives of death hanging above his head that could fall at any time. He stared at Wang Lin but also saw the other three behind him and shouted, âRan Xuefeng, Sun Xi, Zhao Chuawen, are you guys looking for death?!â
The three silently pondered but didnât speak. However, there was a flash of coldness across their eyes.
Huan Dong saw this cold light and secretly realized that something was wrong. He shouted, âIâm only here on orders of the Huan family. If you kill me, the Huan family will send others to come. Do you think you can kill them all? With your mere power, if you resist my Huan family, you will die for sure!
âRelease me and Iâll seek a fair judgement for all of you!â
Although Huan Dongâs words were to the Ran familyâs ancestor and company, his gaze would occasionally sweep to Wang Lin. It seemed like he had a certain amount of fear of the person who had captured him. He was also guessing what background he might have.
After the Ran familyâs ancestor heard this, there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes, but it was immediately replaced with determination. He calmly said, âFellow cultivator Huan, I wonder why you came to planet Ran Yun.â
Huan Dong stared at the Ran familyâs ancestor and then looked at the other two. Huan Dong smiled. âSo the Huan family member was really killed by you three four years ago. Ran Xuefeng, Sun Xi, Zhao Chuawen, your familiesâ bloodlines have reached their end!â
The Ran familyâs ancestorâs expression became gloomy as he turned to Wang Lin and said, âFellow Cultivator Xu, how about handing this person over to us?â
Wang Linâs expression remained the same and he nodded.
âNamed Xu! Who exactly are you and why do you want to get involved with my Huan familyâs matter?!â Huan Dong suddenly turned toward Wang Lin and snapped, âMy Huan familyâs ancestor has already returned; do you really think you can fight against my Huan familyâs ancestor? Iâll let you go, and I promise not to mention you to my lady; I will definitely not drag you into this matter!â
âThe Huan familyâs Miss?â Wang Lin looked at Huan Dong.
Sun Xi explained, âFellow Cultivator Xu, you donât know about this, but the Huan familyâs ancestor brought back a woman from the Alliance Star System. He accepted her as his disciple and will be using the bloodline ritual to change her bloodline.â
Wang Linâs eyes narrowed and asked, âWhatâs the Huan familyâs ancestorâs cultivation level?â
Huan Hong relaxed a bit and said, âThe ancestorâs cultivation has already reached the second step. Several thousand years ago, he was already at the Yin and Yang stage!â
Wang Lin looked at the Ran familyâs ancestor and company with a smile that was not a smile. There was a hint of mockery in his gaze, causing the Ran familyâs ancestor to lower his head.
Wang Lin calmly said, âIâll be handing him to you guys. This has nothing to do with me anymore.â Then he waved his hand and the Seven Star Sword Formation circled around Huan Dong, sealing his origin soul. Then the swords flew back to Wang Linâs side.
âI still have important matters to attend to and will return in a few months!â With that, Wang Lin turned around and left.
Huan Dongâs eyes revealed despair and he shouted, âIf you kill me, my miss will not let you guys go. Lady Huan Mei is the ancestorâs only disciple, and she will be my Huan familyâs head in the future!â
Wang Lin suddenly stopped and turned around. He looked at Huan Dong and calmly asked, âHuan Mei? What was her original name?â
Huan Dong sneered and said, âIf you let me go, Iâll tell youâ¦â
Before he could finish, Wang Lin frowned and reached out. Huan Dongâs body immediately flew into Wang Linâs hand. Wang Lin pressed his hand on Huan Dongâs head and then a ray of lightning flashed across his eyes. The shadow behind him quickly moved through his arm and completely surrounded Huan Dongâs body.
âSoul Search!â
Huan Dongâs cultivation was, after all, at the mid stage of Ascendant, so if he wanted to use the Soul Search spell, he had the borrow the power of the celestial guard.
Huan Dongâs memories were like pieces of fragments as Wang Lin looked through them with the help of the celestial guard. As he looked, Huan Dongâs body began to shake violently and his eyes revealed a painful struggle.
As he searched through the memories, Wang Lin suddenly locked onto a beautiful woman, and his expression became gloomy. He loosened his hand and hit Huan Dongâs body. Huan Dongâs body collapsed and his origin soul was caught by Wang Lin. Wang Lin threw Huan Dongâs origin soul into the one-billion-soul soul flag.
The sudden scene caused the Ran familyâs ancestor and company to become startled, and they each had their own thoughts.
âLiu Meiâ¦â Wang Lin frowned, and scenes from back on planet Suzaku flashed across his eyes, including what happened back in the Suzaku Tomb.
âThat woman had a great stroke of luck and came to the Allheaven Star Systemâ¦â Wang Lin silently pondered for a long time. He looked up at the sky and didnât speak as he left.
The Ran familyâs ancestor and company no longer dared to block him. They helplessly looked at Wang Linâs figure gradually disappear.
After leaving the atmosphere, Wang Lin slapped his bag of holding and the star compass appeared. It turned into a silver dragon and disappeared into space.
Wang Lin sat in the lotus position on the silver dragon and muttered to himself, âThis Liu Mei woman doesnât have any deep enmity with me. If she knows whatâs good for her, everything will be fine. If she still acts like she did back on planet Suzaku, then I can only kill her. As for the Huan familyâs ancestor, I donât have to fight him to the death. If he appears, I can just leave with the help of the celestial guard. Also, Iâm by myself, while he has a family. If I canât kill him, Iâll kill some of his family members for revenge.â
After he made up his mind, Wang Lin no longer thought about Liu Meiâs matter but focused on the map in his mind. He was heading toward planet Yun Xia.
âThe metal element flame metal vein on planet Yun Xia is extremely important to me, as it is a perfect opportunity to complete the heaven defying bead. I wonât allow anyone to stop me. If anyone dares to try to steal it, Iâll kill them!â Wang Linâs eyes became cold as he flew through the stars.
Along the way, Wang Lin didnât rest at all. One month later, planet Yun Xia appeared in this divine sense far in the distance.
