Chapter 728 - Unbelievable Power
The assassin’s face began to contort under the mask, like it was being squeezed by an invisible hand. In the blink of an eye, his body had been compressed to the size of a child’s.
However, not a trace of blood could be seen. Seemingly, even his blood had been compressed by that huge suppression.
Suddenly, there was a blinding flash of light, so glaring that it hurt.
When everyone opened their eyes again, the assassin was gone. There were no traces of him at the place where he had originally stood, as if he had never even existed.
Ling Chuxi was extremely shaken. Under such a suppressive qi, the assassin had actually disappeared completely.
Back then, under the combined forces of Mo Kongyuan and the guardians, Chu Fengyun had also encountered the same end, and there had even been a huge crater left behind on Cloud Watching Peak.
However, even the people near this qi had not felt its existence. It was clear that the the surge of True Qi had been extremely condensed, implying that whoever it came from had incredible control.
Only now could Ling Chuxi see that the one who had attacked was an old man. His hair and long beard were white, and his expression was calm and solemn.
The might of his attack just now was on par with the combined attack of the five guardians, and the control of it far surpassed theirs! If she had not personally witnessed it, Ling Chuxi would not have believed it.
The old man was staring at the little boy, his gaze traveling from the pitch black pendant on his chest to his face. A kind smile slowly bloomed on the old man’s face.
“Grandfather! My Lord!” A few men were calling out urgently, quickly rushing over. From their movements, it was clear that they all had very strong cultivation.
The old man waved his hand to stop them from talking, and continued looking at the little boy kindly, as if fearful that they would scare him.
“Grandfather, is it him?” A slim young man looked at the little boy curiously and asked in delight.
“That is the Ink Jade Crystal that I personally gave her back then. There is no way I would not recognize it.” The old man nodded.
“We finally found him!” The other men were also overjoyed as they whispered excitedly.
“What is your name?” The old man bent down, wanting to caress the little boy’s hair.
The little boy looked confused, and instinctively took a step back.
The old man’s hand froze awkwardly. He didn’t look displeased, just disappointed and regretful.
“What’s wrong with him?” The young man asked in confusion.
“Perhaps he is in shock,” the old man said uncertainly. He reached out and touched the little boy’s head, then jerked his hand back quickly, his expression changing.
“What’s wrong?” The young man hurriedly asked.
“Nothing, nothing.” The old man pretended to be calm, but Ling Chuxi noticed the subtle shock and rage in his eyes that he had masked well.
“Grandfather, since we have found him, let’s return,” the young man suggested.
“Alright, let’s go,” the old man rumbled and nodded.
The young man went forward to take the little boy’s hand, but the little boy suddenly jumped out of the way and hid behind Ling Chuxi and Lan Xinyu, holding onto their clothes tightly.
The young man frowned and stepped forward to grab the little boy.
