Chapter 116 - Let’s Play Now, Old Man.
Upon hearing the loud and authoritative voice, Ling Chen didn't immediately stop but continued to move forward.
While Fang Lan was startled, Ling Chen looked calm as usual. It was as though he didn't hear anything.
At the same time, his mouth slightly curved upward revealing a cold devilish smile on his face.
After flying for a few more seconds, he suddenly stopped.
Less than a hundred meters away from him, was a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged in the air with his eyes closed as if he was sleeping.
The man appeared to be around forty years old with a sturdy physique. His grey hair was messy like a chicken nest.
His face was smooth like a baby's butt without any scar. He didn't look overly handsome. Though he wasn't standing, one could clearly tell that he wasn't short.
"Waiting for me! Don't you think it's shameful for an old man like you to be stalking a little kid like me."
"Don't tell me you're like those disgusting nobles in the secular world that are into little boys." Asked Ling Chen with a mocking smile on his face. After spending a few months in the secular world, he had learned many things and saw many things.
Furthermore, though it was his first time seeing this old man, he already had an idea who he was.
Upon hearing Ling Chen's defaming and slandering words, the middle-aged man slowly lifted his head and looked at Ling Chen.
At the same time, his eyes were radiating a frightening murderous light with an immeasurable sharpness, seemingly able to tear apart the Heaven and Earth.
Even Fang Lan who was standing behind Ling Chen on the back of the giant dark Eagle had to take two steps back. He didn't receive the middle-aged man fierce glare directly but he felt that this flash was able to decapitate even the most powerful elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect like insects.
As the cold sweats dripped down his body, he realized that this middle-aged man that was waiting for them was a frightening character.
"I hope your strength is as sharp as your tongue." Replied the old man in a cold tone as he gazed at Ling Chen intensely; his black eyes became even more frightening as if they were an abyss capable of swallowing all things.
At the same time, the old man finally stood up from his mediative stance. Though he wasn't very tall, the moment he stood up, he looked like a giant capable of carrying the Heaven on his back and a devil capable of suppressing the world bellow.
Fang Lan could feel an oppressive aura from the middle-aged man that was capable of destroying all things. Though the middle-aged man tried his best to hide his frightening aura, the faint aura leaking out was enough to make Fang Lan feel as if there was a behemoth in front of him.
Fang Lan was quite startled. Although he hadn't seen a Martial Saint expert before aside from his Young Master, he could tell this middle-aged man was one and a very scary one at that.
His Martial Saint's aura chilled the souls of others, even the most powerful Martial Venerable would lose his colors from fear. However, there was something deep within his blood that somehow allowed him to suddenly resist the middle-aged man horror.
The middle-aged man hovered midair, as his disheveled grey hair fluttered. His frightening eyes were locked onto Ling Chen. Despite his murderous intent, He didn't dare to take any reckless actions.
Though that little bastard in front of him looked like a ten years old man, the old man felt as though he was facing an abyssal creature rather than a little boy. Any wrong move would result in him being swallowed whole by him.
"Why don't you try and find out by yourself." Replied Ling Chen with a devious smile on his face. Despite how frightening the middle-aged man appeared to be, Ling Chen didn't seem to be afraid of him at all.
" You don't have to ask me twice." Roared out the middle-aged man.
At the same time, the space around Ling Chen was suddenly distorted. An extremely sharp aura ripped apart space. Immediately, it arrived in front of Ling Chen. Ling Chen merely saw a pair of eyes that were filled with killing intent along with long silver lance.
"Huff!" The silver lance in the middle-aged man's hand suddenly shot out. As if it had passed through space, it instantly arrived before Ling Chen.
It was almost impossible for Ling Chen to dodge such a close attack; it was simply too swift
Furthermore, this single attack brought forth a powerful penetrating sensation. It gave off the feeling as though no one could interrupt its trajectory — meet gods, slay gods; meet devils, slay devils.
"Ignorant fool…" Seeing that Ling Chen didn't even bother to draw his weapon or tried to dodge his attack, the middle-aged man sneered.
The silver lance in his hand was known as Heaven Piercing Lance and was like the sharpest weapon there is. It was neither an Earth rank weapon nor a Heaven Rank weapon, It was a Half-Divine Rank weapon.
It was so sharp that it could pierce through the hardest metal like butter.
As he faced the formidable attack of the middle-aged man, Ling Chen merely chuckled, choosing not to retreat nor to block the attack.
Swoosh!
The moment the silver lance was about to pierce through his head, the space around him ripple a little, and whether it was the giant dark beast or Ling Chen, they all suddenly disappeared.
"Huh!" Witnessing this scene, the middle-aged was shocked, as waves churned in his heart.
Furthermore, the moment his lance was about to pierce through Ling Chen's head, he felt a wave of unknown spatial energy that pushed back all the surrounding true qi energy in the air and everything else, including the true space. The middle-aged man felt as though he had entered a new dimension for a brief second.
"Old man, don't be too hasty. Give me a few seconds and I'll play with you." Suddenly, Ling Chen's childish voice rang out in the sky.
Without hesitation, the middle-aged man quickly turned toward the origin of that voice, and that's when he saw Ling Chen and giant dark beast hovering in the air seventy meters away from him.
After saying that, Ling Chen didn't even give the middle-aged man a second glance as he summoned the sleeping Ling Lei from the space within his sea of consciousness.
At this moment, Ling Lei looked as though he was ten years old and the same height as Ling Chen.
He had already completely absorbed and assimilated the golden lightning energy and made it his own.
"Hey! hey! Wake up sleepy head." Ling Chen said as he shook the hell out of Ling Lei.
After two or three shakes, Ling Lei slowly opened his predatorial golden eyes.
"What's up father?." Answered Ling Lei in a drowsy state.
'Damn it! this little bastard is already the same height as me. It won't be long before he grew past me' Cursed out Ling Chen inwardly as he was looking at Ling Lei with his crimson hair and his grown devilish curved horns.
" I want you to take Fang Lan somewhere for me." Asked Ling Chen.
"You mean the Heavenly Demon Sect." Asked Ling Lei while yawning.
"You know about the Heavenly Demon Sect." Asked Ling Chen in surprise.
"Yeah, when we were born, we got a portion of your memory about this new world and other things." Replied Ling Lei as a pair of giant dark wings cloaked with black lightning suddenly grew out his back.
Swoosh!
"Let's go, big brother." He added as he grabbed Fang Lan before he could even say anything and flew into the distance.
Ling Chen wanted to ask and talk about many with Ling Lei. However, it wasn't the time nor the place to do so.
"Ok! Let's play now, old man." Ling Chen said as he shifted his cold gaze towards the dumbfounded and astonished middle-aged man with a devious smile on his face.
