860 Chapter 860: Trap
Lin Hao coldly smiled when he heard the threat of that purple-robed old man. He shook his head and was about to give the old man an answer when he suddenly heard the sound of someone coming. He turned his head to look, only to see two figures, a man and a woman, flying towards them like deities.
The Purple-clothed old man also noticed the arrival of someone. He also turned his head to the side and swept his gaze over the two people and asked coldly. “Who are you guys?”
The two newcomers revealed a surprised expression when they saw an armless old man who was bleeding profusely. They shifted their gazes between Lin Hao who was holding the God Slaying Sword and the old man who has lost an arm, then completely ignored the two of them.
At this time, the young man in the red robe said with a strong aura. “Wild Lion Empire, a member of the royal family!”
Wild Lion Empire, a member of the royal family? When the purple-clothed old man heard what was said, his cold and pained expression immediately eased up a lot. He forcefully smiled and said: “Is there something you need to do here?”
“My cousin sister and I are going to the Scarlet Flame Empire. Here is the order token, take it and let us through.” Saying this, the young man took out a token that looked exactly the same as Meng Fu’s token and gave it to the purple-robed old man.
As for the woman beside him, she was dressed in a flowery long skirt. She had slightly curly hair that casually but not messily draped over her shoulders. Her pretty face was not that of a devastatingly beautiful woman, but it could also be said that she was extraordinarily beautiful, especially her eyes which had long lashes that gave her an intoxicating look.
At this time, this woman’s eyes were curiously sizing up Lin Hao. After not discovering anything special about Lin Hao, she shifted her gaze and looked at Meng Fu. Her gaze stopped on Meng Fu for some reason. Her eyes flashed with light as if she had sensed something special from Meng Fu.
At this time, the purple-robed old man said while maintaining his smile on his face. His voice was very courteous, much gentler than when he talked to Lin Hao: “I am Lu Yun, the guardian of Teleportation Formation. Since you guys already have the token then everything is fine.”
“Please come with me!”
The purple-clothed old man nodded and planned to bring the two of them deeper into the pagoda.
“Wait!”
But at this time, a cold voice called out to them, causing Lu Yun’s gaze to turn cold. He immediately looked at Lin Hao and asked coldly: “What else do you want? Be thankful that royalty from Wild Lion Empire has come on time which saved you guys from me. Otherwise, you would have already turned into a cold corpse by now. Just you wait, I’ll soon come for you and take revenge for such an impudent action of yours. How dare you cut my arm off!”
Saying this, the old man once again smiled and looked at the newcomers, and said: “You two, please come with me!”
How could Lin Hao let them go just like that? He once again asked with an incomparably cold tone: “Old man, tell me. Why is it that they can use the teleportation formation with two people while they have one token, but we can’t?”
“Their identities are not something that you guys can be compared to. Do you even know who there are? They are from the Royal Family of Wild Lion Empire. Wild Lion Empire’s Emperor is an Exalter Ruler. Not to mention, it is upon me to decide what to do. I make rules here so don’t you dare ask any questions. Obediently wait to the side for me to return!”
Lin Hao’s heart sank when he heard this. He no longer hesitated and said decisively to Lu Yun: “I’ll give you a chance to live, hurry up and let us use the teleportation formation to the Scarlet Flame Empire. Otherwise, this time I’ll cut off your head instead of just an arm!”
“Heh! What can you do? Previously, you sneaked and attack me and I was careless, otherwise, do you really think you could have cut off my arm? Boy, you are too arrogant.” Saying this, the purple-robed old man looked at the young man and woman and said: “These two respected guests, please wait for a moment. I’ll first teach this arrogant brat a lesson before serving you guys!”
“Hurry up and finish everything quickly!” The young man waved his hand and said indifferently. He neither put the old man nor Lin Hao in his eyes. On the other hand, the woman’s face had a smile. Her eyes were shining as she looked at Meng Fu, as if she wanted to see Meng Fu take action.
The old man nodded his head, took out a long blade, and was ready to slash at Lin Hao when a terrifying aura suddenly enveloped all the people present at the scene. The old man, the young man, and the woman were all shocked when this aura suddenly appeared like countless sharp blades cutting their skins.
Only Meng Fu was standing with an indifferent expression on his face. He knew very well about Lin Hao’s terror.
“This is… Sword Heart!”
The three of them were shocked beyond the limit. They didn’t expect Lin Hao to be a genius who has comprehended the Sword Heart. And from the looks of it, Lin Hao’s comprehension of Sword Heart seemed to be at its peak. It is simply too terrifying.
Lin Hao asked coldly again: “You have last chance, tell me. Will you continue to cause trouble or let us use the Teleportation Formation?”
The old man felt conflicted in his heart. He didn’t know what to say. He had cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years, so he was definitely not a fool to not understand the current situation. He also knew that Lin Hao went easy on him previously.
Although he is a Heavenly Divine Lord, he is just a One Mark Heavenly Divine Lord. So, though there was a gap between him and Lin Hao, the gap is not that large. The previous attack was definitely not a fluke nor was it a sneak attack.
Even if he had used all his strength to go against Lin Hao previously, the result would have been the same.
He still had resentments in his heart, but he knew he couldn’t do anything to Lin Hao. It is because he could feel the terror of Lin Hao’s Sword Heart. He could already feel countless invisible sharp blades touching almost every part of his body. If he dared to ignore Lin Hao this time and continued to play according to his own cards, those countless invisible sharp swords will definitely pierce into his body and tear his body apart into many pieces.
He didn’t want to let Lin Hao and Meng Fu use the Teleportation Formation to go to the Scarlet Flame Empire, and at the same time, he also doesn’t want to die here!
There is a saying that the older a person is, the more he or she wouldn’t want to die. This saying seems to be true.
After thinking for a moment, he smiled and immediately made a plan in his heart. He knew what he should do that could at least ease his resentment a lot.
Nodding his head, the old man said coldly, not wanting to show Lin Hao any sign that could cause Lin Hao to become suspicious and alert: “Come with me!”
Saying this, he looked at the young man and woman, smiled at them, and invited them inside the pagoda.
The four of them followed the old man and entered the pagoda, arriving inside a hall where they could see an extremely huge formation on the ground.
“Go there and stand in the middle!”
The old man pointed at the formation and told Lin Hao.
Lin Hao nodded his head and went to stand in the middle of the teleportation formation with Meng Fu.
The young man wanted to voice out something but was stopped by the woman next to him. She shook her head, causing the young man to obediently close his mouth.
The old man then activated the formation, causing the formation to lit up. After that, Lin Hao and Meng Fu found a surge of True Essence surrounding their bodies, at the same time, they could feel a spatial fluctuation around.
They understood that they were about to teleport.
The next moment, with a ‘shua’ sound, both of them disappeared.
After that, the old man revealed a cruel smile on his face. Then he looked at the two people and gently said: “Please, wait a moment. Let me set the location of teleportation formation to Scarlet Flame Empire!”
pAɴᴅᴀɴ[0ᴠᴇ]ʟ The woman nodded her head and didn’t say anything. It was as if she had expected this beforehand.
On the other hand, the young man seemed to be very surprised. He looked at the old man with a shocked expression and after a few moments, a mocking smile appeared on his face.
