Chapter 844: The Final Entrustment
At the critical moment, Jian Shen immediately sent his mentor flying with a palm strike, saving Lu Bei’s life just in time. Had he delayed for a moment longer, Lu Bei’s neck might have been snapped.
Having been saved, Lu Bei was terrified. Clutching at his neck and scrambling with hands and feet, he crawled to one side and then looked at his mentor as one would at a monster.
The mentor got up and bared his teeth menacingly at Jian Shen, no longer resembling a human, but rather a wild beast hunting its prey.
At this time, Lin Xi walked over, chanting a spell as she moved. She used the Meditation Curse, which instantly brought the mentor back to his senses; his eyes returned to normal, and the ferocious expression on his face disappeared.
"What’s going on, what exactly happened to me?" The mentor, unable to accept what he had just done, then glanced at Lu Bei, still in a state of panic, and knew he wasn’t dreaming.
Jian Shen reassured him, "It’s alright, Master, nothing’s wrong now, I am here."
"We should find a cave quickly, before the sun rises," Lin Xi suggested with timely advice. Jian Shen immediately helped his mentor up, deeply concerned about what to do next, given the terror still evident in his mentor’s eyes.
They were in luck and soon found a cave. Jian Shen, Lin Xi, Lu Bei, and the mentor quickly took refuge inside, mainly worried about the effect the sunlight would have on the mentor once it arose.
The mentor sat in a corner, motionless and forbidding anyone to come near, unable to accept what he had become.
