616 The World Is Small (1/2)
Gao Hanshan had not anticipated that Mo Wen would actually dare to run. He immediately felt somewhat angered and amused that he had actually tried to escape from a Martial Arts Grandmaster. If Gao Hanshan actually let Mo Wen escape, he would not be able to show his face in the ancient martial art world.
What Gao Hanshan did not realize was that he was not the only Martial Arts Grandmaster who had recently tried to hunt Mo Wen down and that the last one to do so had failed.
Gao Hanshan's figure flashed past and he appeared in the air above Mo Wen. He made a grab with his hand and an invisible palm could be sensed above Mo Wen, pressing down forcefully.
The palm was formed by the Martial Arts Grandmaster with the use of Protective Qi. It was a few hundred meters square in size and it would be impossible for people who were in its range to escape its clutches.
However, to Gao Hanshan's surprise, stars and light suddenly streaked out from Mo Wen's body. The next moment, Mo Wen's body was like a twinkling star and he disappeared from his original spot. It was as though he had been teleported somewhere; he was simply gone with the wind.
The next moment, Mo Wen's silhouette appeared on the magma ocean. The Gao Clan elders had absolutely no idea how he would have been able to do such a thing. They couldn't even identify traces of his movement. They were clueless.
As a Martial Arts Grandmaster, Gao Hanshan had better eyesight than the others in his group. But he too could only vaguely see some mysterious tracks. Mo Wen's figure moved in between those mysterious tracks and before Gao Hanshan could comprehend what was happening, Mo Wen had traveled a great distance.
Even Gao Hanshan would now not able to track Mo Wen's movements. He would certainly not be able to catch up with him.
”Such deep and profound movement techniques.” Gao Hanshan expressed his astonishment once again. He had lost count of how many times he had felt shocked within such a short amount of time. He was dealing with a mere youth but Mo Wen had delivered many surprises.
In particular, Mo Wen's Absolute Skills had given Gao Hanshan an unprecedented sense of shock. This youth was actually able to demonstrate such impossible movements. Exactly how high was his level of attainment in the martial arts?
The movement techniques that Mo Wen had just demonstrated were beyond Gao Hanshan's understanding. Ordinary martial arts techniques should not be so mysterious!
”Mo Wen, come back. We mean you no harm.” Gao Hanshan ignored his pride as an ancient martial art practitioner. He had been testing Mo Wen but now had discovered an unparalleled radiance from him, the kind of radiance that could shock even a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
What would Mo Wen think of Gao Hanshan now? The youngster had always believed in himself rather than in religion and in other people. The influence of Gao Clan was huge and Mo Wen couldn't really figure out exactly what their intention was now. It was better for him to keep his distance from them at the moment.
There was a splash.
Mo Wen dove straight into the magma ocean, seemingly not intending to return. It was a decisive action, leaving no room for discussion.
Gao Hanshan smiled bitterly. He hadn't expected that Mo Wen would be so set on escaping. It was clear that he was dealing with someone who was decisive and resolute in his actions.
However, did this youth really think his ability was high enough to allow him to escape from a Martial Arts Grandmaster? Gao Hanshan's mouth curled to form a smile. He did not believe that Mo Wen could escape from him.
”Since you don't want to come back on your own, I will have to catch you.” Gao Hanshan shook his head and appeared on top of the magma ocean. However, he didn't dive into it; instead, he took out a small jade seal slowly from his sleeve. It was none other than the Han Imperial Jade Seal.
The Gao Clan elders exchanged a glance and smiled. Mo Wen had belittled Gao Hanshan and was now going to face the consequences of doing so. When their sect leader decided to hunt down someone personally, even the three of them would most likely not be able to escape him. Mo Wen had no chance.
A jade light was emitted by the Han Imperial Jade Seal, projecting into the magma ocean. Gao Hanshan remained stationary on top of the scorching sea. However, under the projection of the jade light, the magma ocean seemed to have undergone qualitative changes, becoming transparent. It had originally been opaque and dark red, but right now, it was like ink that had faded in color, becoming like clear water.
Wherever the jade light landed on the ocean a glow could be seen in the magma. On the surface of the magma ocean, it was just the diameter of an adult's arm; however, it became bigger as it went deeper. When the jade light was a few hundred meters deep into the magma ocean, it covered a diameter close to a thousand meters.
Mo Wen's figure was at a depth of three hundred meters when he was enveloped by the jade light pillar. He was forced to stop immediately. He was completely pinned on the spot and unable to travel any deeper.
Mo Wen floated in the magma ocean. He laughed bitterly and helplessly. The jade-colored light pillar that surrounded him contained a frightening power. It had prevented him from moving at all.
To be against a Martial Arts Grandmaster with a profound level weapon was a fairly frightening situation to be in. It was far more frightening than even the Corpse Puppet using the Cries of Hades Bell.
Mo Wen's greatest mistake was overlooking the fact that Gao Hanshan had a profound level weapon. Mo Wen had also not expected that the Gao Hanshan would be willing to use a profound level weapon to capture him. It was quite an unusual thing to do. Mo Wen had expected to be chased in the magma ocean.
