Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

"Oof! That gotta hurt," Lin Wu said upon seeing the two men who were now wall paintings.

Jing Luo and Old Man Tiandi had similar reactions, but they also felt an immense amount of fear due to seeing this. They swallowed their saliva and watched the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle closely. 

They did not want to miss even a moment, as that could be the moment that would end up deciding their life or death. The two of them saw that the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle did not come towards them and continued towards the Inner hall instead.

They felt elated at first and turned to look at the only exit of the Temple. But their excitement was doused rather quickly as they saw something else blocking their path. This something was none other than Lin Wu, who was standing at the entrance of the temple.

While he was not intentionally blocking the exit of the two men, they still did not dare to move. To them, Lin Wu was the same as the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle and would end them in one hit.

They thought of the promise that Lin Wu had made and felt a bit wronged. Jiao Fan recalled the deaths of all of his people and couldn't control his rage.

"DIDN'T YOU PROMISE THAT YOU WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING AND LET US TAKE WHATEVER WE COULD?!" Jiao Fan yelled.

Old Man Tiandi was taken aback by hearing Jiao Fan and wondered if the man had eaten a dragon's liver to be this brave. He directly retreated to the wall and conditioned observing, not wanting to get involved in this.

Lin Wu, who had been focused on the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle, finally turned his head upon hearing the voice of a certain person. He looked at the source and saw that it had come from none other than Jiao Fan.

"Oh? You said something?" Lin Wu asked causally.

"DID YOU NOT HEAR ME? YOU BROKE YOUR PROMISE!" Jiao Fan roared. 

~Whoosh~

Lin Wu tilted his head and bought it close to the man. Now that Lin Wu's massive head was right in front of Jiao Fan, he realized how big Lin Wu was truly was. Just one of the fangs in Lin Wu's mouth was bigger than his entire head.

Lin Wu's eyes were even bigger than that, spanning over two heads ins size. Jiao Fan realized what he had just done and felt his stomach churn.

"I never broke my promise though…" Lin Wu spoke in a soft voice, completely different from what he had been speaking in till now.

Jiao Fan felt chills go down his back and all of his instincts were currently shouting at him to run away. But his body simply did not want to respond and was frozen with fear. His brain also told him that running away would be futile, as there was no way he would be able to outrun another Dao Shell realm beast.

Alas! Only if Jiao Fan's spirit sense was not crippled, he would be able to sense Lin Wu's true cultivation base. Since he was not being masked by the barrier of the platforms and Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle's aura, Lin Wu's cultivation base was revealed to everyone.

But since Jiao Fan could not use his spirit sense for the time being, he could not figure this out. If he did, he would discover that Lin Wu's cultivation base was actually three stages below him!

In reality, Lin Wu was confident in fighting beasts and cultivators that were up to two stages above him, being at the Adolescent Soul stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but with Jiao Fan being temporarily crippled, he was basically a fish of the chopping block.

Not to mention Lin Wu, perhaps even a warrior in the Body tempering realm might be able to kill him with some luck. Jiao Fan could not even use his spirit stools and weapons except for his spatial storage treasure as of now.

As for the offensive and defensive talismans that he had, they would barely be able to function. While he would be able to activate them, he would not be able to control them due to a lack of Spirit sense.

Using them would be the same as pulling the pin of a grenade but throwing it straight at one's foot. Not only would the hard grenade hurt one's foot, but the subsequent explosion would also turn oneself into an abstract painting.

The only thing that Jiao Fan had going on for himself was his own body and its innate strength that was there due to him being an Adult Stage Nascent Soul realm cultivator. But that was something that would not last long under continued attacks.

Lin Wu stared into Jiao Fan's eyes, enjoying them tremble. It was a rather strange feeling that Lin Wu was feeling right now. It gave him a certain kind of thrill, along with some excitement. Lin Wu felt like he could fly at this moment, which he truly could in reality, but this was metaphorical.

"Do you remember the exact words that I said?" Lin Wu said in his soft voice once again, making Jiao Fan shudder. 

Lin Wu's speaking felt unnerving to Jiao Fan, even unnatural on a certain level. When he spoke, there was no air, no breath. With a beast this close to his face, Jiao Fan should have smelt the pungent and repulsive stench of a beast's mouth, but there was nothing of this sort.

Jiao Fan realized that Lin Wu was neither breathing nor was he speaking with his mouth. He got a very clear look into his mouth and he saw that Lin Wu had no normal anatomy that a serpent should have had, according to what Jiao Fan knew.

There were only sharp teeth in Lin Wu's mouth that were completely crystalline. He could see the depths of Lin Wu's mouth from between the gaps of his fangs and the emerald green glow illuminated the darkness.

Jiao Fan could very well see that there was nothing else in Lin Wu's mouth except for sharp spike like teeth, there wasn't even a tongue!
