Wang Linâs expression became gloomy and his pupils shrink when he saw the thunder chain in the old man hands. His heart was filled with terror. Even Wang Lin with his thunder origin soul and thunder body could not casually hold the thunder chain like that.
After all, just the thunder it gave off contained a trace of celestial thunder, so there was no need to mention the entire chain.
He couldnât see any clue about the old manâs cultivation level at all, but he could imagine it was extremely high. In addition, he could vaguely feel a sense of returning to the origin from this old man.
Wang Lin subconsciously took a few steps back. He was very unfamiliar with this old man, so presumably, the fated person was not him. His gaze turned and fell on Li Yuan.
Li Yuan was also extremely surprised. When he saw Wang Linâs movement, he guessed that Wang Lin didnât know this old man. Then it became obvious that the fated person the old man talked about might be himself. He carefully looked at the old man and felt rather puzzled. He respectfully said, âSenior, the person you are talking about isâ¦â
The old man walked out from the thick fog and stared at Li Yuan. He pointed at Wang Lin and said, with dissatisfaction, âLittle fellow, the fated person this old man talked about is you! Come here!â
Wang Linâs eyes narrowed and he said, âI have never met Senior before. How are we fated?!â
The old man examined Wang Lin a bit and smiled. âHave you forgotten already? Anyone who can escape from the old manâs prison tunnel is fated with this old man!â
Wang Linâs expression immediately changed. He looked at the old man, and after pondering a bit, he slowly said, âSo it was Senior who set it up⦠I just donât know why Senior did it.â
The old man revealed an impatient expression and stepped forward. Then his hand reached toward Wang Lin and he said, âWhat is all this nonsense? If this old man says youâre fated, then you are!â
Wang Linâs expression became gloomy and he quickly retreated. He couldnât see through this old manâs cultivation, so he couldnât do battle and could only run!
The old man let out a mischievous smile and his hand reached out. In an instant, the area within five kilometers was filled with a powerful force. This force was simply too strong, and it also contained an unimaginable amount of origin energy.
One grasp caused Wang Linâs expression to become pale and he found that he couldnât move at all. It was as if someone had used the Stop spell on him. He could only watch as the old manâs hand reached toward him.
His eyes shined brightly, and as the old manâs hand closed in, he bit his tongue. Rather than spitting it out, he swallowed the essence blood and activated the escape spell he learned from the old man in the Demon Spirit Land. The blood had already formed an internal cycle inside his body.
As this internal cycle moved, his body loosened and disappeared in a flash. He reappeared a distance away and escaped without looking back.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The old man softly exclaimed. His eyes revealed a hint of interest and he smiled. âHe is indeed worthy of being fated with his old man if he knows such an incredible spell that damages oneself to escape!â He then withdrew his hand and shot toward the void.
That grab earlier only used 10% of his power. At this point, he was more serious and used 20% of his power with this palm. One palm caused the void to twist like it was about to be torn apart and ripples appeared.
Then the old man softly said, âReverse!â
In the blink of an eye, the entire void flickered as if everything had changed. Wang Linâs eyes blurred and his body quickly moved backward. This posture was exactly the same as when he ran.
In almost an instant, when he regained his vision, he was actually standing 30 feet away from the old man. Cold sweat instantly covered his forehead. This kind of spell was already beyond his imagination.
The old man looked at Wang Lin and smiled. âWhy are you not running?â
Wang Lin pondered a bit before clasping his hands and respectfully saying, âI donât know what Senior wants, but Juniorâs cultivation level isnât high enough to meet Seniorâs requirements.â
The old manâs gaze fell on Wang Linâs bag and he said, âNo problem. You canât help me, but the Thunder Beast inside your bag can. Let this old man borrow it for a while and then Iâll return it to you.â
Wang Lin secretly let out a sigh. He didnât know how the old man knew what he had in his bag of holding. He slapped his bag of holding and the Thunder Beast flew out. The moment the Thunder Beast appeared, before it could even let out a roar, it was grabbed by the old man and dragged away. The old man smiled. âVery good, it is actually a silver-horned Thunder Beast, very good. Little fellow, this old man is not only taking this Thunder Beast; every Thunder Celestial Temple messengerâs Thunder Beast will belong to this old man for a period of time!â
The Thunder Beast finally regained its senses and was shaking from terror. This was the first time the Thunder Beast had showed this kind of behavior.
Upon seeing that the old man was about to leave, Wang Lin clenched his teeth and loudly said, âWith Seniorâs cultivation, how could Senior just take a juniorâs possession like this?â
The old man stopped and turned around to look at Wang Lin. He smiled and his eyes revealed admiration. âYou want compensation? Interesting, but I canât just use your Thunder Beast in vain!â He looked at Wang Lin and said, âYour cultivation is a mess. A thunder origin soul and t a thunder body, what is this? Let this old man give you a helping hand!â
The old manâs right hand reached out and a large amount of dust gathered in his hand to form a ball of light. He then spat out a mouthful of energy into the ball of light and threw it without even looking. The ball of light shot directly toward Wang Lin.
The ball of light was too fast for Wang Lin to dodge, and so it directly entered his chest.
After doing all of this, the old man waved his sleeves and laughed. âYou guys canât break through here, so let me give you all ride!â As he waved his sleeve, a powerful force appeared, taking Wang Lin, Li Yuan, and the woman named Ge before disappearing.
âThat iron sword is a bit familiar. Forget it, the matter at hand is more important, so Iâm not going to think about it.â The old man looked at the Thunder Beast in his hand. The more he looked, the more pleased he became and he smiled. âYes, after this old man uses some spells, this Thunder Beast should be able to pull the chain!â
The Thunder Beast carefully looked at the old man. Its heart was beating wildly, but it didnât dare to make a sound.
The old manâs body flickered and then he disappeared with the Thunder Beast. However, almost right after he reappeared, he looked at where Wang Lin disappeared to and muttered, âJust then how much energy did I put into it? Uh⦠It seems I put a little too much⦠That little guy should be alright⦠Regardless, if he doesnât die, then he really is fated with this old man.â
The old man stepped forward and disappeared without a trace.
Wang Linâs group of three was sent through the fog by the old man and they were currently whistling through the fog. This kind of speed couldnât be described anymore; it was simply too overwhelming.
