Chapter 418 Thorn Old Man
"So there really are evil spirits in this ghostly forest!" Leng Yun muttered to himself.
By this time, he had already escaped danger and entered the depths of the ghostly forest.
The entire forest was quiet; the sound of footsteps on fallen leaves could be clearly heard, and the surrounding trees exuded a bloody stench.
"Crack!"
Leng Yun accidentally broke a dead branch.
A bloody, eerie wind swept through the forest.
With a thought, Leng Yun conjured a ball of purple flame in his hand.
The Netherworld Fire was perfect for dealing with these evil spirits. In just a moment, Leng Yun arrived and the surrounding Yin energy all kept their distance.
The deeper you go into the forest, the dimmer the light becomes, and the surrounding environment turns into a quiet, deep green, exuding an eerie atmosphere.
Leng Yun looked back and found that the others had not followed.
Despite being protected by the purple flames, Leng Yun was unaffected in this environment.
But for others, it wasn't so simple; they had to expend their fist energy to resist the eerie aura surrounding them.
On the other hand, this ghostly forest is a maze of paths with many forks. Although Leng Yun was always heading in one direction, he would unknowingly take a wrong turn in the forest.
In the end, Leng Yun still didn't know where she had ended up.
Just as he was wondering, he suddenly heard a noise ahead. When he went to take a look, he found the fourth Vajra of Tangjiabao!
The powerful and robust body of the Stone Crusher stood atop a large tree.
Leng Yun guessed that these people were here to kill him. Although he had escaped before, it was because two Vajra attacked him together.
If it were a one-on-one fight, Leng Yun wouldn't be afraid of the Shattering Stone Vajra.
Just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly noticed that there was another person in front of the Stonebreaker!
The person was standing in the tree, and because he was dressed in all black, he looked very gloomy, so Leng Yun didn't notice him earlier.
This person was extremely thin and exuded an eerie, gloomy aura, as if he had blended into the ghostly forest environment.
"Who are you?" asked the rough voice of the Stonebreaker King Kong.
A flash of black light, and the person in the tree fell to the ground.
It was only then that Leng Yun noticed the person's face; it turned out to be an old man, but his eyes possessed an innate sinister quality.
"The water hyacinth is mine. If anyone dares to fight me for it, they will all die!" The man's voice was hoarse and icy.
"Hmph! Who do you think you are?" Shattered Stone King Kong was unfazed by the other party's arrogance.
Just then, a person walked out from behind the Shattering Stone Vajra. He was over two meters tall and it was the Cloud-Touching Vajra.
"Who are you, you old codger?" Moyun Jingang said without any politeness.
“People call me Old Thorn,” the extremely thin old man said.
The Stone-Breaking Vajra snorted and sneered, "I don't care who you are, do you know who we are?"
Ci Lao looked at the two of them and said, "Judging from your strange appearances, you must be the Four Vajras of Tang Family Fortress."
Leng Yun found it amusing to listen from the shadows. How dare that old man Ci call others weird? The three of them were all pretty much the same.
Upon hearing this, the Stonebreaker King Kong became furious: "You old fool!"
After saying that, he took the lead and rushed forward.
The Cloud-Touching Vajra followed closely behind, smashing towards the Elder Thorn.
Between the two fist energies, two tall figures appeared as if they were about to devour the old man in front of them.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them were already close to the old man.
Leng Yun believed that the old man was doomed.
Suddenly, something strange happened!
Suddenly, the old man stretched out his left hand, and then a ring of long, black spikes grew from his left hand!
Spikes surrounded the entire arm, making it look like a hedgehog.
The first to be hit was the Stone Crusher. The moment he saw the spikes, his expression changed, and he tried to escape from behind, but it was too late!
The next second, the black spikes pierced straight through the body of the Stonebreaker.
The Stonebreaker King Kong was filled with terror, and even in death, it didn't utter a single scream.
At the same time, the Cloud-Touching Vajra also rushed up.
The white fist energy was about to strike Elder Thorn.
"Whoosh!"
The old man instantly stretched out his other hand, transforming into a hedgehog once more.
Fortunately, the Cloud-Touching Vajra was far enough away that it had time to react and stop abruptly, dodging the Elder's deadly spikes.
Immediately afterward, the Cloud-Touching Vajra, without pausing, turned and fled in terror, like a stray dog.
The old man showed no intention of pursuing, retracting the spikes from his hands and restoring them to their normal shape.
In just one round, the old man killed one person and scared away another.
This bizarre attack method left Leng Yun in awe.
"Phew, thank goodness they didn't show themselves!" Leng Yun thought to himself.
He hadn't expected so many experts to be vying for the water hyacinth this time; it seemed the only chance to obtain it was amidst the chaos. Thinking this, Leng Yun prepared to flee.
"Kid, you've been hiding here for a long time, haven't you? Show yourself!" Old Thorn's voice rang out from behind.
Leng Yun was startled; it turned out that the other party had already noticed.
Now that things had come to this, Leng Yun calmed down and slowly walked out of her hiding place.
"Hmph, when I came here, I heard that the master of Leng Family Manor is a young man with extraordinary strength. You must be him!" Old Man Ci looked at Leng Yun with gloomy eyes.
Leng Yun sensed the chill in those words, but without flinching, she replied, "That's right, it's me!"
"I heard you're a fifth-grade alchemist?" As Elder Ci said this, he couldn't help but glance at Leng Yun a few more times.
Leng Yun was taken aback, and asked curiously, "How do you know so much about me?"
The old man sneered, "Hmph, it's simple, because someone told me to kill you!"
After saying that, Elder Ci transformed into a black shadow and headed towards Leng Yun.
Although the incident was sudden, Leng Yun reacted extremely quickly. With a thought, a blue flame appeared on his hand.
"Form 400 - Sonic Boom!"
The next second, a sonic boom enveloped in cyan flames suddenly erupted, smashing towards the dark figure in mid-air.
"Whoosh!"
The old thorn stretched out its arms, and countless sharp thorns grew again.
The black spikes pierced the sonic boom like a silver needle piercing a balloon, and with a "pop," they actually popped the sonic boom!
An explosion resounded throughout the silent forest, its aftershocks spreading like ripples.
Old Thorn was startled. He could have easily broken the sonic boom, but Leng Yun's sonic boom was different.
Upon contact, Leng Yun's sonic boom actually had a paralyzing effect!
Ci Lao's cultivation was extremely high; he was only paralyzed for less than half a second before charging towards Leng Yun again.
Even so, there had been enough time for Leng Yun to escape.
The next second, Leng Yun's figure had almost disappeared into the depths of the forest...
