In contrast to the bustling and noisy training grounds, the alleyway was completely isolated from the outside world within the enchantment of broken elemental artifacts. It was filled with a desolate and somber atmosphere.
The old man was covered in a black robe, making him look very eerie. Even his hands were inside his sleeves.
"No one will come to save you. You can just disappear from the world, boy!"
The old man in black let out a strange laugh. When he finished speaking, he looked like a big black bird. With a flutter of his black robe, he charged towards Ling Yun.
"Hua la!"
A peerless wave of elemental energy surged out from the body of the old man in black robes. The strong wind caused his black robe to tremble.
His entire body was covered in gray elemental energy, like an evil shadow of death, causing an earth-shattering boom!
And below him, Ling Yun's figure seemed so frail and weak compared to him.
"Die!"
The black-robed old man let out a strange cry as the Origin Energy within his entire body surged, pouring down like a surging gray river!
"Absolutely not a match! The tenth level of the Mortal Origin Stage … which is way more powerful than what I have right now. "
Ling Yun immediately felt the pressure of death approaching.
His forehead was instantly covered in beads of cold sweat.
Not to mention that he had yet to break through to the eighth level of the Mortal Origin Stage, even if he did, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand an attack of this level.
The difference was too great.
Any martial practitioner below the ninth level of the origin realm would die with a casual strike from the old man, without any chance of survival.
"Dammit, Ling Kun completely wants to kill me. If I am able to turn this situation around, I will definitely make this dog, Ling Kun, pay the price of blood."
Ling Yun clenched his teeth.
"Instant Cast Movement Technique!"
Under the threat of death, Ling Yun did not even think of forcefully resisting it. Instead, he unhesitatingly used his Instant Movement Technique and chose to temporarily avoid the attack.
"Swish!"
Ling Yun's figure turned into an afterimage that the human eye could barely catch and instantly disappeared from his original position.
The old man's attack missed, and the boundless elemental energy attack landed on the place where Ling Yun was just at like a tsunami.
boom rumble rumble *
The earth trembled as a destructive elemental energy storm exploded. In the blink of an eye, a terrifying crater appeared at that location. The walls on both sides of the alleyway were also broken and crumbling under the terrifying aftermath.
However, with the broken Origin Tool surrounding him, the power of the attack was limited within the alleyway.
If not for Lingyun using his movement technique to dodge the attack, Lingyun would have already been smashed into pieces by the black-robed elder.
Seeing that Ling Yun had dodged his attack, the black robed elder did not panic at all, but sneered in his heart: "Hmph, unorthodox techniques are not worth mentioning!"
"Shua!"
Ling Yun appeared not far behind the black-robed old man.
"Raging Dragon Fist, third move, Flying Dragon in the Sky!"
Lingyun used all his strength, veins popping out on his forehead. Thunder essence and blood violently vibrated on his arm, forming a majestic red dragon shadow that fiercely smashed towards the black-robed old man's back.
"Oh? You've even completely grasped the Raging Dragon Fist? Not bad, but …" You are too weak. "
The old man in black did not panic at all. With a thought, a layer of elemental energy shield appeared behind him.
In the blink of an eye, another two layers of elemental energy shields appeared.
Three layers of elemental energy shield!
"Boom!"
Ling Yun unreservedly executed the Raging Dragon Fist, and landed a solid punch on the black-robed old man's back.
But...
The moment the red dragon's shadow collided with the old man's elemental energy shield, Lingyun's fist light was instantly dispersed. It was not on the same level of power.
The black-robed old man was completely unscathed.
A trace of a sneer appeared on the old man's face.
"In my eyes, you are only an ant that can be crushed at any time."
The black-robed old man gave a strange laugh. His elemental energy shield shook and a terrifying force was repelled back.
Ah!
Lingyun let out a painful roar, violently vomited blood, and was sent flying. His back heavily collided with the wall, causing the sturdy wall to collapse from the impact.
Lingyun used one hand to support his body, but he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Give up brat. Why do you need to continue struggling in such a painful manner? After all, your end is already destined to be a dead end."
The black robed elder looked down from above and laughed coldly at Ling Yun, who was trapped in the rubble.
"Pah!"
Ling Yun spat out a mouthful of blood in disdain.
"You want me to wait for death? Don't even think about it! I, Lingyun, did not forget those two words in my dictionary. Hmph, you are just an old fogey who can't even break through to the Earth Origin Stage. Just give me half a month and I will beat you to the ground! "
"You're being arrogant even when you're about to die. Originally, I wanted to give you a quick death, but I've changed my mind now. I'm going to let you suffer all the inhuman torture before you die."
The black robed elder closed in on Ling Yun again.
"It's not certain who will live and who will die!"
Lingyun's eyes flashed with a fearless light. With a wave of his hand, the Crimson Thunder Spear flew into his hand.
He pushed away the debris on his body and stood up while leaning on the Crimson Thunder Spear.
"Looks like you still don't know what despair is."
The old man in black narrowed his eyes.
He had killed countless people, but it was the first time he saw a crazy person like Ling Yun who would rather die fighting than die a useless death.
Furthermore, Ling Yun was only a teenager!
"This kid can't be left alive, he must die."
The black-robed old man's desire to kill had been completely aroused.
The black robed elder extended both his hands out from his sleeves. The moment he saw those two hands, Ling Yun's pupils constricted.
Those two hands were no longer the arms of a human. They were charred and dried up, without any trace of blood or moisture. They were intertwined with a gray aura, giving them the appearance of a semi-metallic and semi-petrified statue.
It was like the hands of a devil.
"What a fool, you actually refined your own arm into a weapon, no wonder your old foot couldn't even break through the Mortal Origin Stage!" Ling Yun laughed disdainfully.
"What do you know!" The black robed elder was completely enraged by Ling Yun's words.
"Although I can no longer see any hope of advancing to Earthly Yuan, with these many methods, I can still continuously become stronger. Compared to strength, what is the price that I have to pay?"
"You're just an ant, what qualifications do you have to look down on me!" I'll let you die under my hands right now. "
Elemental energy surged from Elder Xiao's body as he channeled it into his two hands.
Very soon, wisps of gray energy emerged from his black arms that looked like the corpse of a demon.
"Thousand Poison Bone Erosion Palm!"
As soon as the old man's voice sounded, he struck out with his dark gray palms.
Very quickly, two palm-prints the size of praying mats took shape in front of his palms.
"Even an Earth Origin Stage powerhouse would have to suffer a severe injury from my Thousand Poison Bone Eroding Palm, not to mention a kid like you who's at the seventh level of the Mortal Origin Stage. I'll watch on from the side as you die from the poison."
After the black robed elder finished his words, the two black-grey palms in front of his palms instantly shot towards Ling Yun.
