607 Lava World (2/2)

Therefore, he could only rely on his body's ability to repair itself now, allowing his soul to heal slowly on its own. Luckily, Mo Wen was the Miracle Physician; to some degree, he could catalyze his speed of self-recovering. If he was a common later stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner, he would take at least two years to completely recover from such a severe injury. Mo Wen was confident that within half a year, his soul would completely recover.

However, within this half a year, he wouldn't be able to use his soul power at all. He couldn't launch a soul attack either. Otherwise, it would cause his injury to become more serious and it would be even more troublesome later.

Mo Wen sighed. Fortunately, his cultivation had improved now. He didn't need to depend on his soul power as much. Otherwise, within this half a year, his ability would decrease by at least 50 percent.

After a day, Mo Wen's physical injuries had healed completely. If one didn't examine his soul deeply, it would be impossible to tell the difference between him and a healthy person.

Mo Wen, who was about to open his eyes after practicing his treatment, frowned suddenly. A great sense of danger welled up in his heart. It felt as if he was facing the Corpse Puppet again.

Without thinking, his silhouette flashed and he demonstrated the Glory of Wind. His body transformed into a gush of wind at an unbelievable angle, disappearing from his original spot without a sound. The next moment, he had appeared in midair a hundred meters away.

Rumble! Almost at the same time, the islet on which Mo Wen had been sitting cross-legged was attacked disintegrated into a fine powder. The turmoil causes the magma within a hundred-meter radius to sink more than tens of meters, forming a whirlpool.

”Who goes there?” Mo Wen opened his eyes and a golden light flickered in them. A powerful aura emanated from his body, forming a layer of Protective Qi around him.

”Huh? Such mysterious movement techniques.” An exclamation of wonderment sounded, greatly surprising Mo Wen. The next moment, the magma nearby thrashed and a person slowly ascended from it.

A living person had actually surfaced from the magma. He stood on the magma ocean, staring incredulously at Mo Wen, who was in midair.

The person was an elder in his seventies. Clothed in grey sack clothes, his image was no different from that of an old farmer. However, Mo Wen could sense a venerable aura from the elder. He might be even older than Grandmother Hui Ling.

”Who are you? Why did you attack me?” Mo Wen asked coldly.

This elder was obviously ill-intentioned. He had attacked Mo Wen and if he had not reacted so quickly, Mo Wen would have been severely injured, possibly even killed.

The elder didn't entertain Mo Wen's questions. He only seemed interested in Mo Wen's movement techniques. ”What movement techniques are those? I have spent my whole life studying the way of martial arts intensively. I have seen more than a thousand deep and profound martial arts, yet I have never seen such mysterious techniques before.”

The elder had attacked without any prior warning; moreover, he used a surprise attack that he was most skilled and experienced in. With his cultivation, when he ambushed someone, even if the person was an ancient martial art practitioner at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm, the person had a fifty percent chance of dying at his hands.

He was slightly surprised at this youth's astonishing senses. He was even more surprised at the youth's miraculous movement techniques. The youth could actually retreat unscathed under such conditions.

His sneak attack and the youth's escape had happened in just a moment. It had taken a matter of seconds for the youth to notice the attack and then dodge it.

The elder was certain that even if an ancient martial art practitioner at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm noticed his sneak attack, the practitioner would not have enough time to completely dodge it. The elder knew his attack speed was astonishing. Even if his opponents discovered him, it would surely be difficult for them to dodge his attack. However, this youth had managed to do so.

There were millions of movement techniques in the world. He had seen a few absolute ranked movement techniques. Yet none of them were comparable to the movement techniques performed by the youth just now. The elder hadn't even managed to clearly see the process of the youth's movement. The youth had actually reached the state of moving without a trace.

”Old thing, you have yet to answer me. Just now, why did you attack me?” Mo Wen's facial expression turned cold. Anyone would be angry when they were attacked without reason. Furthermore, this old thing had attacked in such a sneaky manner. They didn't know each other and didn't have any vendettas. Why would he attack so ruthlessly?

”What did you just call me?” The elder was stunned momentarily, then his face turned sullen. He hadn't expected the youth to be so presumptuous and to actually dare to scold him to his face. It had been many years since someone dared to be this rude to him. On top of that, the person was a callow youngster.

”Old thing, don't pride yourself on being a veteran. You have lived for so many years, could it be that you still do not understand the rule of 'be respectful to be respected'? You attacked ruthlessly for no reason. How are you different from an old fart?” Mo Wen asked.

”You are looking to die.” The anger of the elder in grey robes could no longer be contained. He could look lightly upon the lives of others, but others could not disrespect him even in the slightest. A callow brat had actually dared to offend him.

Initially, the elder had only wanted to eliminate this youth, removing an opponent who would fight him for the spiritual fire. After all, all the ancient martial art practitioners who could reach the eighth level of the Beast Lair were there for the spiritual fire. However, it was not as simple as killing the youth now. Only torturing the youth to the extent where the youth felt living was no better than death would relieve the hatred the elder now felt in his heart.
