Chapter 470 - 449: One More Update
Yin He witnessed this, retracting his own moves and letting Master Ling Yi charge towards the dark red smoke. Due to Master Ling Yi’s entanglement, the dark smoke grew brighter and turned to a reddish brown.
"Elder Brother, run—" Master Chang Ling had realized something at that moment. This evil spell was fundamentally different from those of Qiandao Temple. It wasn’t about borrowing and redirecting force; instead, it sinisterly offered oneself as a sacrifice to demons, and now it was absorbing their energy.
Master Ling Yi was shocked. He had never heard of such spells and little by little, fear filled his heart. For the first time, he realized that he had underestimated Ghoul Ravine, and even more, the boy his master had valued so greatly. No wonder his master had spent so much effort on the boy. He had never known what secret the boy held. Now he knew that perhaps his master didn’t know either—that boy...
"Ah—" Master Chang Ling, being in the forefront, had already turned a dark red color, resembling molten lava, but his body did not melt away instantly like the disciples outside the cave had.
Yin He frowned slightly. This spell’s capability varied with the caster’s personal talent. The spells of those disciples from Ghoul Ravine looked overpowering and terrifying, but the truly beneficial ones were like Elder Can’s, capable of transferring the locale’s talents onto oneself. The others, even if they melted, the effect would not last long or would simply be wasted, dissipating into the air.
However, the endurance of these mages from Qiandao Temple—wasn’t it a bit too long? Although Yin He had his doubts, he showed no intention of assisting. Elder Can was already in the critical moment of maintaining the ritual. Yet, he hadn’t expected the first person to be so difficult. However, their energy was still undeniably flowing into his body.
"Elder Brother—" Master Chang Ling’s body began to stiffen, only able to move his eyes as he looked toward Master Ling Yi. "Take them and leave—" At that moment, nobody understood the horror of this spell better than Master Chang Ling. If this continued, Qiandao Temple would suffer significant losses in strength.
Master Ling Yi calmed down and quickly dispersed the restraints on another disciple with his Golden Whip. Reluctantly leaving Master Chang Ling behind, he exerted all his strength in a whip strike aimed at Elder Can. At the same moment, Master Chang Ling suddenly let out a series of forced roars, almost shattering the stones inside the cave. Instantly, the dark red smoke dispersed rapidly in all directions, then in the next moment swept toward Elder Can.
Master Ling Yi did not dare delay any longer, quickly using his whip to wrap up the disciples trapped inside the cave. Taking advantage of the disruption caused by the loud roar, he headed straight for the cave entrance, where there was no sign of the ambushing brethren anymore.
