Chapter 465: Shackles (I)
Tu Yuan's face was filled with terror. This guy was simply monstrous. He had actually used pure strength to force him out of his earth escape state. People like Liao Xingfan and Yuan Qiu would need to prepare all kinds of targeted dharma artifacts, restraints, and formation flags in advance just to have a chance of catching him. Even then, success was not guaranteed.Just like now, those three had already been lured elsewhere by his tricks. Yet the man before him had used astonishing means and overwhelming strength to force him out of his earth escape. This was not something brute strength alone could achieve. One had to pinpoint his exact position and track his movements with precision, then apply force with perfect timing to shake him out.
"Ugh... cough, cough... l-light... go easy!" Tu Yuan's eyes bulged as he struggled to speak.
The palm hovering a few centimeters from his face suddenly shot forward and clamped onto his throat like iron tongs. Lin Zheyu ignored Tu Yuan's plea and tightened his grip, cutting off his voice entirely. Lin Zheyu was no saint. Anyone who dared make a move against him would have to pay the price.
Besides, Lin Zheyu was quite interested in the dharma artifacts on Tu Yuan. The bone artifact and skull he had used earlier were clearly different from the ordinary artifacts he had obtained before. If sold, they would surely fetch a high price.
"Miss Ji, are you asking me to spare him?" Lin Zheyu said calmly, gripping Tu Yuan as he looked toward Ji Zitong. He had no ties with her, and her reputation meant nothing to him.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, please spare his life. He is a friend of my cousin, Ji Ziyang. What would it take for you to let him go?" Ji Zitong asked.
"Ji Ziyang? Never heard of him." Lin Zheyu shook his head slightly and asked, "What price are you willing to pay, Miss Ji?"
Before Ji Zitong could answer, Lin Zheyu's brow suddenly furrowed. True origin energy surged from his arm and rushed into Tu Yuan's body, scattering the spirit power he had been gathering. His expression turned cold as he slammed Tu Yuan hard into the ground.
A violent tremor spread out as Tu Yuan was smashed into the ground. The cunning gleam in his eyes flickered for a moment. The divine sense and spirit power he had just gathered were completely disrupted by the sudden blow.
