Chapter 498: Sealed His Power (2/2)

Looking at the ox-headed man, Lan did not waste any time. He cut his wrist, and blood began oozing out. He placed his finger on the wound and drew a strange rune in the air in front of him with the bloody finger.

The blood from the finger was infused with energy, and soon the rune had been finished. It glittered with a malicious red gleam, and Xue Wei could feel a strong fluctuation of energy coming from it.

With a flicker of Lan's hand, the rune shot onto his forehead, and the red light enveloped his entire body.

The light increased in intensity, growing more and more overwhelming, alongside an energy ripple that made Xue Wei breathless.

The pressure on the surrounding areas grew increasingly oppressive, Xue Wei felt how his body was starting to become difficult to control, and beads of sweat were forming on his forehead. He was beginning to feel uncomfortable, but suddenly the discomfort vanished.

Lan, who previously had been a handsome man with blue hair and attractive eyes, had now become a small blue snake with four wings, a mingshe.

The only thing that made it so that Xue Wei instantly could recognize him were the eyes. They had the same color as the ones of the previous Lan. At the same time, a veil of mystery still surrounded him, but the strength was much lower.

Xue Wei would previously not have been capable of sensing Lan's presence. Whenever he wanted to speak with him, he would have to look at him in order to locate him; it was also important to have him within one's line of sight.

If he was not in one's line of sight, it was impossible to sense him. However, now he could sense his presence. It was clear that the seal had been created successfully.

The ox-headed man nodded his head in approval. To see someone so decisive was quite refreshing, and he said no more before he turned and vanished into the air, leaving the two intruders alone.

Lan and Xue Wei glanced at one another. They saw the smile on the other's face and began walking into the distance. They had no aim, no path, and no knowledge of how to find Li Zhiqing, but they believed that in one way or another, it would become possible for them to succeed.
