Chapter 779: Chapter 775: The Terrifying Jade Hand (Fourth Update!)
The old Taoist Niu Tongtian had appeared once again!
Lin Tian scowled as he watched the other man collect all the remaining Death Spirit Grass into his hands.
This old fellow was grinning from ear to ear, revealing yellowed teeth, his hair disheveled, clad in a tattered Daoist robe.
Apart from Niu Tongtian, another dark shadow was the talking yellow dog that followed him.
Lin Tian narrowed his eyes, his expression grave, as he stared at Niu Tongtian and asked.
The old Taoist before him was too eerie.
There was not a hint of energy fluctuations about him—if Lin Tian hadn’t seen the other man escape with his own eyes, he might have indeed mistaken him for a mere mortal.
Moreover, the fact that he could recognize the Death Spirit Grass made him even more extraordinary.
The presence of a talking yellow dog by his side was unmistakably out of the ordinary!
“Ha ha… you little baby, didn’t I already say it? The old Taoist does not change his name or his style; my name is Niu Tongtian, ha!”
Niu Tongtian patted his chest then pointed at the yellow dog beside him, laughing, “This one is called Bastard Tongtian, same surname but not name… Ah, no, same name but not surname!”
The yellow dog spoke up again, but this time its voice was crisp as though coming from a girl in her teens, melodious and pleasant, with an undertone of purity and a touch of annoyance. It angrily said to Niu Tongtian, “You’re the dog! You stinking Taoist! From now on, please call me Little Demon…”
“You’re getting an attitude now? Bastard Tongtian is such a domineering and impressive name, and you even despise it!”
Niu Tongtian put his hands on his hips, frowning as he argued with the little yellow dog.
Watching this bizarre pair, Lin Tian frowned deeply and sternly shouted, “Put down the Death Spirit Grass and scram! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”
Niu Tongtian and the yellow dog were truly odd; Lin Tian couldn’t figure them out, but that didn’t mean he was scared. If they really didn’t put down the Spiritual Medicine, he would have to take action.
“Oh dear me… you little baby, you’re actually threatening me, an old Taoist…”
Niu Tongtian shrank his head, hopping around and then soon after pitifully said, “Just think about it, Bastard Tongtian and I only have each other, so pitiful we are, and now you’re even threatening us, where is the justice in this…”
Lin Tian’s expression darkened as he stomped his foot, and his whole body’s frightening True Qi burst forth.
Lin Tian’s figure shot out like an arrow released from the bow, in the blink of an eye he reached Niu Tongtian and threw a punch that seemed to tear the Void, landing on Niu Tongtian’s body.
A terrifying and muffled sound of an explosion came as Niu Tongtian tumbled through the air like a rolling stone, before crashing heavily into the unmown grass.
“Yi, no cultivation? He couldn’t be dead already!”
Lin Tian’s eyebrows shot up in surprise.
Niu Tongtian was too weird, and he had to go all out—never expecting the old Taoist indeed didn’t have a single trace of cultivation in him.
With such a punch, it could very well be a matter of life and death!
Just when Lin Tian was about to go over and check, a coughing sound emerged from the grass, followed by a panicked and hasty voice from Niu Tongtian: “Bastard Tongtian, why don’t you quickly come over! Open your mouth and store the herbs properly…”
Hearing this, the little yellow dog zipped over to Niu Tongtian’s side, its mouth wide open, and in a blink, swallowed all the Spiritual Medicine in Niu Tongtian’s hands.
Lin Tian, who was about to walk over, paused mid-step, his heart chilled by the realization.
That little yellow dog was too fast, even at his full strength, his speed might not compare to it!
What shocked Lin Tian even more was when Niu Tongtian stood up, patting his chest which bore not even a scratch, and cried out in pain, “You little guy, that was too cruel. You almost killed me, an old Taoist, with just one punch!”
Niu Tongtian scolded Lin Tian with a string of curses, then urged the little yellow dog, “Hurry, let’s go; this kid is too fierce!”
With those words, one man and one dog had already squeezed through a dog hole on the side of the valley, disappearing from sight in an instant.
“That dog, what in the world is it? This dog hole, it definitely wasn’t here before! It’s like a Transmission Array that can move at any time…”
Lin Tian stared dumbfounded into the pitch-black dog hole, his face filled with shock as he murmured to himself.
His Divine Sense probed inside the dog hole multiple times but couldn’t find any trace, further confirming the suspicions in his mind.
For quite a long while.
Lin Tian could only shake his head helplessly and come to his senses.
“Forget it, for now I must hurry and get the treasure blood from within the Totem Pole!”
Walking around the base of the towering Totem Pole, feeling the faint Yin Qi emanating from within, Lin Tian’s heart grew more and more excited.
If he could obtain this treasure blood, it should be possible to greatly enhance and strengthen the black Dao Platform.
A Double Composite Array existed on the Nine Celestial Totem Pillar.
On the outside, there was a Defensive Array.
On the inside, there was a Sealing Array.
To break the Array, one would need to find the weak points of the array nodes and shatter them with the force of True Qi.
Circling the Nine Celestial Totem Pillar, Lin Tian then prepared to begin.
As True Qi wreathed around his hands, it quickly transformed into threads that fell upon the Totem Pole.
But at this moment, the fog at the entrance of the valley rolled violently in the night, followed by thunderous noises that exploded midair.
Lin Tian’s expression changed drastically, he immediately stopped his actions and retreated, turning his head to look towards the valley with utmost seriousness on his face.
The fog churned, the winds exploded like thunder tearing across the sky.
Such a scene filled Lin Tian with shocking doubts, hesitating whether to continue obtaining the treasure blood or to leave immediately.
This valley was too eerie!
Even he couldn’t help his hairs stand on end, always feeling that something dangerous was approaching.
As Lin Tian hesitated, a sound like the shattering of the void came through, and in an instant, the fog at the entrance of the valley was torn apart and completely disintegrated.
A hand descended from the sky, appearing from the valley, piercing through the valley fog, and slapped toward where Lin Tian was.
The appearing hand was slender and fair, like exquisite jade, smooth and beautiful, giving off a sense of gentleness and delicacy!
It floated gently through the air, as if tenderly caressing something, like a warm breeze over water.
This was a woman’s delicate hand!
Moreover, it should be the hand of a young woman!
At this moment, Lin Tian had no mood to admire this beautiful jade hand, his whole body stood on end with hair, his heart filled with terror, and his face showed an unprecedented seriousness.
The aura carried by the jade hand was strange and terrifying, roaring as it pressed through the air, enveloping him, causing his body to tremble.
“Sky-reaching Fist! Get lost!”
Lin Tian had no time to investigate whose hand it was, or who was making a move against him in the shadows, all he could think of now was to repel the hand and leave this place quickly.
With a loud shout from Lin Tian, he arched his waist, stepped forward, and launched a punch filled with terrifying True Qi and Samadhi True Fire, like a cannonball smashing out at lightning speed.
The jade hand descended, clashing with Lin Tian’s fist, and the terrifying energy aura instantly swept and exploded outward.
The jade hand that appeared from the valley trembled violently, was forced back several meters, and then quickly retracted, disappearing from sight.
But in comparison, Lin Tian was somewhat ragged, his whole person like a sandbag, being slapped flying through the air, crossing over the mirror-smooth mountaintop, and landing on the edge of the public cemetery in Bone Burial Mountain.
“Huh, not a single injury? Not bad! However, touch the Nine Celestial Totem Pillar again, and I shall show no mercy!”
As Lin Tian landed, a delightful and entrancing female voice that could melt one’s bones echoed in his mind, and at the same time, the voice was laden with endless murderous intent.
Lin Tian landed, his face somewhat pale, but it was due to the turmoil of his blood and Qi, he was uninjured.
The force in that palm was too terrifying, directly shaking him into the air.
But he practiced the Nine-Turned Three Life Technique, which was a Supreme Divine Skill, immensely powerful, making it very difficult to harm him!
