Chapter 663: Success or Failure? (1/2)

A faint light film covered the place, encompassing the four large stone tablets within it. A deathly silent atmosphere circulated within the light film, causing one to have some difficulties breathing.

However, at this moment, there were two people within the light film. One was training while the other was a blind old man, who was already used to it. Hence, the pressuring atmosphere within this place did not cause the two of them to feel any discomfort.

The blind old man was hugging a somewhat old and damaged broom. His greyish-white eyes that were without any pupils, were lowered slightly. Even his breathing had become weak and inaudible at this moment. At a cursory glance, he appeared no different from a sick old man who was about to die.

Chi!

After this silence continued for around half a day, Lin Dong, who was sat in front of a stone tablet a short distance away, suddenly trembled. There was actually a weak light being scattered from the surface of the black stone tablet.

The moment the light scattered from the stone tablet, the blind old man, who had his eyes lowered, suddenly raised his head. His body moved before he strangely appeared in front of Lin Dong, even though he hardly moved. After which, his expression turned a little solemn as he stared at Lin Dong’s face.

At this moment, there was a vague dark greyish colour lingering over Lin Dong’s youthful face. Moreover, this greyish colour was gathering towards the spot between Lin Dong’s eyebrows. An extremely slight greyish line had actually appeared on Lin Dong’s forehead.

That greyish line had an undefined form. It appeared to be connected to Lin Dong’s skin, appearing just like a worm when it wiggled.

“He has met “Huang” already huh…”

The blind old man’s eyes were focused intensely on Lin Dong’s face. His elderly face tensed up while his shrivelled fingers could not help but rub against each other. Clearly, there was quite a big ripple on his calm old well-esque emotions.

Under the observation of the blind old man, the greyish aura on Lin Dong’s face became increasingly dense. Two traces of blood suddenly flowed from the corner of Lin Dong’s eyes when the greyish aura became dense. They were just like two blood tears and they looked extremely startling.

Crack!

Although the blind old man had lost his sight, he was still able to clearly observe this scene. His expression immediately changed drastically before the broom in his hand was directly crushed into powder.

The blind old man’s face was extremely tense. His shrivelled hand continued to tighten and relax. It was as if he was hesitating if he should drag Lin Dong out from the mental realm at this moment.

Chi Chi!

During the time that the blind old man hesitated, the unusual greyish Qi on Lin Dong’s face also became increasingly rich. While the greyish Qi gathered, the grey line between his eyebrows also became a little thicker. At the same time, however, the blood line on the corner of Lin Dong’s eyes also became increasingly glaring. Clearly, his eyes were already being eroded at this moment.

Cluck cluck.

The blind old man took tiny and chaotic steps back and forth in front of Lin Dong. This continued for a couple of minutes before he violently clenched his teeth. He turned around and his shrivelled hand pierced towards the grey line between Lin Dong’s eyebrows like a sharp sword with lightning like speed. As long as this thing was broken, it would be possible to awaken Lin Dong.

The blind old man was extremely quick and it seemed as if his finger could penetrate through space. In just a flash, his fingers had already arrived in front of Lin Dong’s forehead. However, just as he was about to pierce downwards, a warm white light suddenly rushed out from between Lin Dong’s eyebrows and collided with his finger.

Clang!

The two collided but no energy ripple erupted from it. That white light merely blocked the blind old man’s fingers for an instant before it disappeared.

Although the white light disappeared, the blind old man’s fingers were also stopped. A surprised expression was clearly present on his face.

“There is no need for me to intervene huh…” The blind old man was quiet for a moment. He could only attribute the white light to something Lin Dong had unleashed subconsciously. If that was the case, it seemed like Lin Dong did not want to give up on learning the “Desolate Demon Eye”.

After receiving this information from Lin Dong, the frown on the blind old man’s face appeared to be even denser. He stood on the spot for quite awhile before shaking his head somewhat helplessly. He seemed to have underestimated Lin Dong’s persistence when it came to learning martial arts. However, at times, persistence may or may not be a good thing…

“In that case, let’s wait a little longer. If things really go wrong, I will forcefully drag you out. Truly a fellow who does not allow others to have a peaceful mind…” The blind old man muttered to himself. After which, he sat down beside Lin Dong and continued to carefully observe him.
