Chapter 76 – Strange Flying Sword
Liu San looked back. He gritted his teeth and said, “You really are a spy!”
Yang Sen’s eyes were filled with anger as he stared at Wang Lin. The dark-faced man’s pupils constricted. He knew that the method Wang Lin used to obtain the box was not something an ordinary human could do.
The middle-aged scholar was also stunned. He looked at Wang Lin with a complicated expression and sighed.
Song Xing shouted, “How dare you?!” Then, he quickly jumped forward and grabbed Wang Lin’s head.
Song Xing’s actions confused Liu San’s group, but Liu San didn’t stop Song Xing. Everyone else stepped aside, making way for Wang Lin.
Wang Lin didn’t even lift his head. Instead, he opened the box and saw a very shriveled ginseng. This ginseng was very small, but it had countless roots. There was a yellow talisman on the ginseng, enveloping the spiritual energy within it.
Song Xing had already approached. He smiled and prepared to smash Wang Lin’s head. Then, his body suddenly shook as an invisible force stopped him. Song Xing was thrown to the side and couldn’t get back up.
The strange sight before them left everyone stunned. Wang Lin didn’t tear off the talisman from the ginseng, but looked at it for a moment. Then, he sighed and said, “You met an old friend and you won’t even come out to say hello?”
With a series of rustling sounds, the cold-faced young man walked out of the forest. An invisible force surrounded his body. All the men in black were pushed aside as he walked past. Furthermore, three fireballs floating in the air returned to the young man and revolved around him.
When the men in black saw the young man, they respectfully said, “We greet the boss!”
The young man didn’t even look at Song Xing who was coughing up blood, but stared at Wang Lin and said, “The person I know couldn’t possibly not have changed at all in 10 years! Who exactly are you?”
Wang Lin stared at the young man, but didn’t say a word. Instead, he took out a yellow piece of paper from his bag.
When the cold-faced young man saw the paper, he was stunned. He stared at Wang Lin for a moment longer, then frowned. He said, “Friend, what exactly is this? Friend, please give me that ginseng. It’s very important to me.”
Wang Lin was stunned and stared at the young man in front of him for a moment. Doubts arose in his heart. He spread out his divine sense and discovered something abnormal in the sky. He smiled coldly in his heart, then threw the ginseng away and said, “Forget it. I’ve got the wrong person.”
A myriad of complicated emotions flashed across the young man’s eyes. He caught the ginseng and said, “Thank you! Goodbye.” After that, he turned to leave when a dark cloud suddenly appeared. As the dark cloud appeared, a gust of wind caused everyone in Mighty Escort to take a few steps back.
The dark cloud moved quickly and descended. As it lowered, a strange gust of wind appeared and grew stronger. A middle-aged man dressed in white stepped toward the gust and descended.
As soon as he appeared, a bodyguard exploded into a mist of blood. Then, several other bodyguards also exploded and turned into mist of blood.
Blood mist moved strangely in the air. They quickly gathered and formed a glistening drop of blood.
The middle-aged man opened his mouth and sucked. A drop of blood entered his mouth, causing his face to turn red. He said, “Zhang Hu, you met someone you know. Why are you afraid to admit it?”
Zhang Hu’s face immediately turned cold and said respectfully, “Teacher, disciple does not know this person.”
Wang Lin’s expression remained calm. He exuded his divine sense and was stunned. This middle-aged man had reached the peak of the 15th layer.
The middle-aged man smiled and said to Wang Lin, “Fellow cultivator, do you know my disciple?”
Wang Lin’s expression didn’t change at all. He said, “So what if I know him or not?”
The middle-aged man was stunned. He stared at Wang Lin for a moment, then suddenly smiled. “It doesn’t matter. Even though you’re only at the eighth layer, if I drink your blood, it will increase my cultivation a bit.”
Zhang Hu’s expression suddenly changed. He immediately stood in front of the middle-aged man and said, “Teacher, this person is my childhood friend. Please… please don’t harm him.”
A cold light flashed across the middle-aged man’s eyes. He said, “Go. Go and collect the blood essence of all the humans here. You have no business in this matter.”
Zhang Hu was about to speak when the middle-aged man sneered and uttered a few words. Zhang Hu’s face suddenly turned pale, and blood began to flow from his orifices as sweat dripped from his forehead.
Wang Lin raised his eyebrows. He activated his Attractive Technique and reached toward the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man’s expression changed slightly. He let out a cold snort as he spat out a green light. The green light transformed into a flying sword and slashed at the hand.
Wang Lin’s drawing technique had reached an unimaginable level. His hands were divided into two. One held Zhang Hu and the other held the flying sword.
The small green sword began to vibrate. The light it emitted flickered. The middle-aged man’s expression suddenly changed, and he took out a black scabbard from his bag. Without a word, he shot several red lights from his hand.
As the scabbard appeared, the green sword gripped by the attraction technique suddenly disappeared. When it reappeared, the sword was beside the scabbard, fused with it.
Wang Lin’s face was calm, but his heart was shocked. This was the first time his attention-getting technique had failed. A cold light flashed across his eyes. He slapped his bag of holding, and several pieces of black wood appeared. The pieces of black wood fused into a whip and quickly flew out.
Situ Nan’s voice rang in Wang Lin’s ears. “Wang Lin, there’s something strange about that sword!”
As the flying sword entered its sheath, it began to emit a buzzing sound as if it were facing great resistance. After sinking half the way in, it couldn’t go any further. The green sword suddenly turned blue and pulled itself out of its sheath, slashing at the whip.
This whip was something he received from Zhang Kuang. While he was in closed-door training, he refined it into his own with advice from Situ Nan.
Wang Lin controlled his whip to circle the flying sword and charged straight at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man sneered. He ignored the whip and pointed at the flying sword. He muttered a few words, then the flying sword trembled and suddenly disappeared. It reappeared in front of the middle-aged man and slashed downward.
The middle-aged man grinned and spat out a drop of golden blood. The golden blood immediately turned into thin threads and entered the flying sword.
