Chapter 1488: Close at Hand! (2/2)
For a moment, it seemed like the waters of the river had frozen.
Danger was imminent, a fierce battle set to occur at any moment, and given the abilities of Wang Chong and the Lone Silence Ancestor, it was bound to be an extremely dangerous one.
Buzz!
At this moment, Wang Chong pulled the Lone Silence Ancestor backward, into a crevice in the wall.
”Senior, please do as I say. Unless it's absolutely necessary, don't attack!”
Above this underground river was an extremely tough metal ore vein, but this was not the case for the other directions.
Wang Chong and the Lone Silence Ancestor were completely capable of immersing their bodies in the walls to hide themselves.
”Young Master… what are you doing?!”
The Lone Silence Ancestor's eyes went wide in shock.
How could it be possible to deceive these powerful experts at such a close distance? If not for Wang Chong's cold and calm expression, the Lone Silence Ancestor would have wondered if Wang Chong had gone mad from the danger.
”Senior, listen to me and do as I say. If my method isn't effective, we can still try the attack,” Wang Chong sternly said, as if knowing what the Lone Silence Ancestor was thinking.
”Fine!”
After a few moments of silence, the Lone Silence Ancestor clenched his teeth and nodded.
”But this is still far from enough…”
The Lone Silence Ancestor looked around and quickly noticed some large rocks that had fallen into the river. He opened his hand and had a stream of water pile these millstone-sized rocks in front of the pair. These rocks became a barrier that further concealed them.
Wang Chong nodded in approval.
The Lone Silence Ancestor truly did possess abundant experience. He had been planning to ask the Lone Silence Ancestor to do exactly this, but the Lone Silence Ancestor had done so without prompting.
”Now let's see if this move will work!”
A moment later, as the Lone Silence Ancestor watched in surprise, he erupted with Psychic Energy.
Unlike before, he gathered the tangible Psychic Energy and had it wrap around their hiding spot, merging it with the wall.
After doing this, the Psychic Energy began to turn dark and heavy.
The Lone Silence Ancestor was rather confused at first, not knowing what Wang Chong was up to, but when he saw the Psychic Energy starting to transform, eventually becoming like steel, he suddenly paled in shock.
”How could this be?!”
The metal tube that Wang Chong had shaped his Psychic Energy into was actually identical to the Psychic Seal left by the Origin Immortal Lord.
In addition, Wang Chong's Psychic Energy was continuing to retract, closing around the pair and the rocks that concealed them.
One second later, Wang Chong was still Wang Chong, but to the Lone Silence Ancestor's senses, he was slowly turning into a rock.
The Lone Silence Ancestor had lived many years in the martial arts world and had seen all kinds of abilities and bizarre martial arts. But he had never seen someone like Wang Chong, able to use Psychic Energy to imitate stone and make himself exude the same aura as natural objects.
The Lone Silence Ancestor knew that he would also appear like a rock to the senses of others.
Incredible! I didn't think that his Psychic Energy was this strong.
The Lone Silence Ancestor was deeply stunned. This level of Psychic Energy proficiency was not something he had believed possible.
Understanding Wang Chong's aim, he immediately sealed off all his pores and restrained his energy. He truly became like a rock that was embedded into the cave wall.
Their surroundings soon fell silent.
The only sound around them was the surging of the river.
In the distance, water splashed as three immense energies began to approach.
Surrounded by storms of energy, the three bamboo hat men arrived. The mood in the underground river instantly became tense.
”The path ahead has been blocked!”
”They can't have gone far!”
”Carefully search the area! They must be here!”
The three bamboo hat men floated on the river, their eyes bright and cold. The bamboo hat leader floated above the river, his bamboo hat only half a foot from the ceiling. The other two stood on the surface, their feet firmly planted on the water.
Time seemed to grind to a halt.
The three of them scanned the area, and behind the rocks, Wang Chong and the Lone Silence Ancestor had closed their eyes, becoming like statues.
Their minds, however, were extremely tense.
