Chapter 210: Lin Dong is Surprised, Yao Lao is Very Strong!
Meanwhile, Lin Yan had already sensed the terrifying energy and the collapse of the secret place. In other parts of the secret place, all the warriors also noticed what was happening. Their faces immediately turned extremely serious.
"Damn it! What the hell is going on?"
"We just got here and I haven't even gotten any treasure!"
"I haven't obtained any treasure and I've already lost an arm! This is unbearable!"
The warriors couldn't help but complain. They had faced many difficulties to enter this secret place, and now, before getting anything valuable, the place was starting to collapse.
However, they had no other choice. According to the current situation, staying here would only mean death. So, they also had to leave.
"Xiao Diao, Xiao Yan, let's go quickly!"
Meanwhile, Lin Dong had already killed the Ancient Blood Dragon Bat that had escaped earlier. Xiao Diao devoured the beast's spirit, and Xiao Yan ate all its flesh. Both had obtained great benefits. But behind them, a crowd of human figures was approaching as if they were being chased by death.
Lin Dong immediately understood the gravity of the situation. Xiao Diao, after carefully perceiving, also became very serious.
"Five Elements Nirvana... Is this guardian so strong? How did these guys manage to awaken such a monster?"
Lin Dong couldn't help but shiver. With the power of the Five Elements Nirvana guardian, none of them had a chance of survival. If they didn't escape, their fate would be tragic.
"I don't know how Lin Yan is," murmured Lin Dong.
Xiao Diao quickly reprimanded him. "Why worry about him? With his strength, even if all of us die, he will still be alive. Run, run!"
Lin Dong, realizing the truth in Xiao Diao's words, decided to escape quickly. Although he was worried about Lin Yan, he trusted that Lin Yan could handle the situation. So, without further worries, he ran for his life.
As he fled, he noticed that everyone else was also running in his direction. There was a weak point in space ahead, and if everyone attacked together, they could open a path and escape from this area.
But just then, a great spiritual treasure appeared in front of them. A group of experts launched an attack, but a pure energy light blocked their way.
"Stop everyone! This spatial rift cannot withstand too many people!" shouted Lin Langtian along with several elders, emitting a powerful aura to intimidate the others.
The warriors behind them attacked the barrier desperately. They were in a life or death situation, and if they stopped, they would perish. But experts like Lin Langtian, with their power and spiritual treasures, were too strong to be quickly overcome.
Seeing this, the warriors began to disperse in panic, looking for other escape routes.
"Lin Dong is behind, let him pass!" shouted Lin Keer upon seeing Lin Dong.
But Lin Langtian ignored her and pushed her inside, saying coldly, "Lin Dong, this rift cannot withstand more people. Find another way."
Lin Dong's face darkened immediately. "Damn you!" he cursed and prepared to leave. But at that moment, the guardian extended its huge bony hand.
A suction force headed towards Lin Langtian, who protected his body but not his storage bag. The bag flew towards the guardian.
"It's mine!" exclaimed Lin Dong, grabbing the bag and quickly fleeing. Lin Langtian was furious. All the treasures he had obtained were in that bag, and now everything was taken by Lin Dong.
"Lin Dong, give that back to me!" shouted Lin Langtian, but Lin Dong just laughed and kept running. Seeing that he couldn't do anything, Lin Langtian retreated angrily.
The guardian then turned its attention to Lin Dong, chasing him frantically. Mounted on Xiao Yan, Lin Dong ran through the secret place, finally finding an exit and escaping.
However, the guardian followed them outside and launched a direct attack towards Lin Dong.
"Desolate Imprisonment Great Finger!" shouted Lin Dong, invoking the technique he had learned from the Creation Monument.
A huge hand appeared, attacking the guardian. But the difference in power was too great. Lin Dong's attack was easily shattered, and he himself was thrown back, spitting blood.
"Damn it, it's too strong!"
Lin Dong couldn't help but curse. Xiao Yan and Xiao Diao positioned themselves in front of him to protect him.
"Well, it looks like Diao will have to act," sighed Xiao Diao resignedly. The guardian was too strong, and although he didn't want to use special methods, he had no other choice.
At that moment, a voice resonated around them. "Friend, lend me your heavy staff," said the voice.
Lin Dong and Xiao Diao looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man and a young man flying towards them. The old man was Yao Lao, who was in spirit form. Despite being in this form, Yao Lao could display Dou Zong-level strength, equivalent to the Nirvana state. Upon arriving, Yao Lao spoke to Lin Yan.
"Yao Lao, here you go," replied Lin Yan, tossing his dragon blood staff to Yao Lao. Yao Lao caught it and released formidable energy from his body. Then, he aimed at the guardian and launched a powerful attack.
A loud boom resonated as a wave of flames advanced towards the guardian. Lin Yan used his Three Thousand Lightning technique to protect Lin Dong with a special flame, while the guardian wasn't as lucky and was hit by the attack, staggering back as its bony armor turned red from the heat.
"What power," murmured Lin Dong amazed. Yao Lao's attack was even more terrifying than Lin Yan's fire lotus technique.
"So this is the spiritual entity inside Lin Yan's body," said Lin Dong in amazement. Xiao Diao explained, "Yes, his strength is no less than mine at my best. And that's while he's only in spirit form, just like me."
Lin Dong couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. "No wonder you said we didn't have to worry about Lin Yan."
Xiao Diao replied, "Not just because of that. I think there's another entity in his body just as powerful." Lin Dong was stunned, feeling his beliefs shaken.
"Are you okay?" asked Lin Yan, deactivating his special flame and addressing Lin Dong, Xiao Diao, and Xiao Yan.
"We're fine. Thank goodness you arrived in time. Otherwise, Diao would have had to sacrifice himself," said Xiao Diao, smiling.
Lin Dong was still stunned. Lin Yan, frustrated, said, "Stop being so foolish. Take out the black symbol that the black-eyed elder gave Lin Dong and show it."
"Will this work?" they asked, surprised.
"Of course it will," replied Lin Yan.
Lin Dong took out the black symbol. Seeing it, the guardian knelt in respect and released dark energy from Lin Langtian's storage bag that Lin Dong had taken.
"What is this?" asked Lin Dong.
"It's a curse. It seems that the objects Lin Langtian obtained are cursed. Using them without removing the curse would be disastrous," explained Xiao Diao.
Lin Dong felt relieved to hear this. The guardian moved away and disappeared.
"Friend, here you go," said Yao Lao from the air, returning the staff to Lin Yan, who caught it. Yao Lao approached with a smile.
"Greetings, elder," said Lin Dong respectfully, impressed by Yao Lao's incredible strength.
"Just call me Yao Lao," said Yao Lao kindly, since he had a good relationship with Lin Yan and had been observing Lin Dong, approving of him.
"Thank you, Yao Lao," replied Lin Dong respectfully.
Then, Lin Dong asked, "What is the relationship between Yao Lao and Lin Yan? Are they master and disciple?"
Yao Lao shook his head smiling, "Master and disciple? I have no right to be his master. There are many secrets in him."
Yao Lao vanished, leaving Lin Dong completely astonished. If someone as powerful as Yao Lao said he couldn't be Lin Yan's master, how many more secrets could Lin Yan have?
Xiao Diao was also surprised. "It seems this kid has many more secrets than we've discovered. I thought he was already amazing, but we underestimated him."
