Novel Full Chapter 403 - 295: Advancing and Retreating Together
After the explosion, everything gradually returned to calm, leaving only the pungent smell of blood filling the air.
The female disciples who had lost their cultivation were controlled by Lin Lang behind him, and could only stare blankly at this scene.
They originally held onto a trace of hope, hoping the Great Elder could defeat Lin Lang and rescue them from this nightmare-like captivity.
But after that earth-shattering explosion!
What they saw was Lin Lang standing unharmed in his original spot.
Whereas the Great Elder had disappeared without a trace, leaving only chaos behind.
The light of hope in their eyes immediately extinguished, replaced by endless despair.
Once in the Golden Dragon Cave, the Great Elder was their reliance, an incomparably strong presence!
As long as the Great Elder was there, there was no problem in the world that couldn’t be solved.
But now!
Even the Great Elder, such a formidable SSS + expert!
Used a self-destructive cultivation method to perish together!
Couldn’t harm Lin Lang at all!
This made them realize that Lin Lang’s strength was even more terrifying than they had imagined!
Their situation was worse than they had thought.
...
However!
Just as everyone in the Golden Dragon Cave was sinking into despair and fear, and the atmosphere was oppressively tense!
A phantom releasing powerful energy suddenly appeared out of thin air ——
This phantom was imposing, with sharp eyes!
It was the Sect Leader of the Golden Dragon Cave!
As the strongest person in the Golden Dragon Cave, he had reached an SSS++ terrifying realm!
The aura emanating from him made everyone present tremble uncontrollably.
"Great, it’s the Sect Leader! We’re saved!"
The people of the Golden Dragon Cave cheered!
The female disciples’ eyes regaining brightness ——
How wonderful!
The Sect Leader is here!
Now, Lin Lang, this demon will surely meet his end?
The Sect Leader of the Golden Dragon Cave’s phantom floated in mid-air, looking down coldly at Lin Lang!
His voice resounded like a great bell around:
"Esteemed Daoist! I, the humble one, will be in the Golden Dragon Cave, waiting for you to resolve this feud once and for all!"
The tone was casual yet indisputable.
As if Lin Lang had no right to express his own opinion!
Lin Lang, however, was not afraid at all, a mocking smile playing at the corner of his mouth, responding coolly:
"I will naturally come! But since you didn’t follow the agreement and bring treasure to ransom people, then forget about wanting these female disciples."
Upon hearing this!
Wang Puyu and others’ faces changed dramatically:
"Could it be! This demon won’t let us leave?"
"No! The Sect Leader definitely won’t agree!"
Yet the Golden Dragon Cave’s Sect Leader listened without the slightest disturbance on his face, and instead said even more coldly:
"Don’t mention a few mere female disciples! Even if you kill all the people here, what does it matter? Our Golden Dragon Cave has found the Daoist, invincible in the world is within reach! Everything and everyone else can be discarded!"
His words were full of coldness and decisiveness, as if the disciples’ lives were worthless in his eyes.
Instanly!
All the disciples of the Golden Dragon Cave were shocked!
And as soon as the words fell!
The Sect Leader’s phantom flashed a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
In an instant!
A dazzling stream of light shot out from his phantom!
Like a meteor, it flew rapidly towards Lin Lang.
This stream of light contained a world-destroying power!
Where the light passed, the air was instantly torn apart, emitting a sharp whistle.
Lin Lang observed this, his eyes sharp, yet he remained utterly composed.
He slowly raised his right hand, palm forward, a powerful energy gathering in his palm.
As the stream of light was about to hit him, Lin Lang suddenly swung his arm in a seemingly simple yet infinitely powerful way, meeting the light barehanded.
"Boom!" A giant sound!
Like mountains crashing and lands splitting!
Lin Lang’s palm collided with the stream of light, bursting into intense brilliance and energy waves.
The powerful impact diffused crazily outward from the point of collision!
The surrounding ground was instantly shattered, with huge cracks spreading like a spider’s web.
However!
Remarkably —
After this violent collision, Lin Lang still stood firmly in place.
And that stream of light issued by the Sect Leader’s phantom was shattered by him with bare hands.
After the light dissipated, only some fragmented energy residues were left floating slowly in the air.
"Hiss!"
The people of the Golden Dragon Cave were shocked to their core seeing this scene.
They never expected Lin Lang to be so strong, that he could easily neutralize even the Sect Leader’s phantom attack.
Though it was only a phantom, possessing less than one percent of the true body’s power!
But it was absolutely not something that could be easily neutralized!
Especially those few female disciples, who had traces of terror added to their originally despairing eyes!
They knew well that their fate seemed completely under Lin Lang’s control, and the Golden Dragon Cave seemingly would not fully attempt to rescue them.
...
"Did the Sect Leader just say... he would discard us?"
The people of the Golden Dragon Cave recalled the Sect Leader’s cold and merciless words, their faces gradually turning pale.
All along, with loyalty to the Golden Dragon Cave, they had followed without doubt, even willingly faced an enemy as strong and near terrifying as Lin Lang.
But now!
They were abandoned so effortlessly by the Sect Leader of the Golden Dragon Cave!
As if their lives were mere insignificant dust in the eyes of the Sect Leader.
Lin Lang’s gaze swept coldly over this group, a disdainful curve at the corner of his mouth, mocking:
"A bunch of homeless dogs, you are loyal and devoted, yet in others’ eyes you are not even as worthy as dogs! I wonder what meaning there is in living for you all!"
