Chapter 55 (2/2)

“Attack!”

Suddenly, a chilling shout came from the surrounding darkness.

“That kid dares to sneak up on us?” A trace of anger flashed across Elder White Eyebrow’s face as he struck his palm at the direction of the sound.

“Sky-destroying Great Collapse Hand!”

Boom!

A giant palm formed in the air, resembling a huge grinding disc that immediately flew towards the forest where the sound had come from, crushing everything in its path.

Boom!

A huge tree as thick as two people in diameter, shattered into a million pieces.

Clank!

At that instant, a sword flew out from another direction.

“That longsword came from that direction!” the black-armored man sneered. At that instant, a golden-red halberd appeared in his hands and he thrust it toward where the longsword came from.

Clang!

A loud piercing clang emitted from the clash of the golden-red halberd and the longsword.

Bang!

A shockwave erupted from the clash, but the black-armored man did not move an inch. Lin Han was taken by surprise and retreated back into the surrounding darkness.

“Such powerful energy, a seasoned person half a step from Grandmaster indeed!” Lin Han hid in the darkness while he struggled to hold onto the sword.

The force from the golden-red halberd strike was tremendous, comparable to the strength of a seventh-tier Grandmaster.

The black-armored man was almost at the Grandmaster level. Lin Han groaned at the thought of it.

The reason why Lin Han lured both of them into the dark forest was to unleash his greatest strength of Spirit Master Heavenly Eye and kill them when he had the chance.

However, he did not expect the black-armored man to be so powerful.

If it had not been blocked by the black-armored man, his sword strike would have at least severed Elder White Eyebrow’s arm, even if it did not kill him.

While planning for the next move, Lin Han held onto the spirit stone and maneuvered the Art of the Ancient Dragon Emperor which enabled him to fully absorb the essence of the stone. As a result, his true element recovered rapidly.

Lin Han had intended to use the top-grade spirit stone for a breakthrough but in order to kill the two men, he wasted the stone for a speedy recovery.

Out on the barren land, Elder White Eyebrow shuddered in fear. “Thank you.” He kowtowed to the black-armored man.

“No problem, this kid is just too cunning, we must observe our surroundings at all times, otherwise we may die at his hands.” The black-armored man wrapped his fingers around the golden-red halberd tightly, ready for battle.

Snap! A nearby tree branch broke.

“Over there!”

The two men caught a glimpse of a shadow before they followed suit into the dense forest.

However, all they found was the powdery residue from the drained spirit stone.

The black-armored man exploded in fury.

“Damn it! That kid has absorbed all of the energy from the spirit stone, he’s gonna use that obscenely powerful…”

Whoosh!

Before he could finish his sentence, an ice crystal arrow whooshed out of the darkness and went straight for their skulls.

“How is he so accurate even on a dark night like this?!” The black-armored man moved to the side immediately.

Yet, the ice crystal arrow was too quick and it was directed at where they tried to hide.

Prediction!

The word flashed across their minds sending chills down their spines.

How could a young man be a match for them?

Such brutal wit!

Such a seasoned scheming mind!

These precise predictions!

At that point, they felt like they were enveloped by death.

“I’m not gonna die!”

All of a sudden, Elder White Eyebrow struck his palm at the unsuspecting black-armored man pushing him to the direction of the ice crystal arrow.

“You!” the black-armored man was enraged.

Puff!

An icy arrow penetrated his skull. Before he even bled, his body had turned into ice, sucking the life out of him.

In the same spot, Elder White Eyebrow took a deep breath, realizing he cheated death again.

“Is that how you repay your lifesaver, Elder White Eyebrow, by pushing him towards his death?”

A voice echoed.

It was from Lin Han!

He stepped out from the darkness with a cold gaze and smirked at the fearful Elder White Eyebrow.
