Chapter 182 - The Night Attack.
Buddha Miracle Temple
It's already late at night and the moonlight shone down a diffuse glow, illuminating the whole city.
Some amount of time has passed by since Ling Chen had left for the Long Family Mansion. At this moment, the blue-haired woman also referred to as the Azure Hydra was sitting on top of the small temple while looking at the full moon above.
After spending three years in the endless dark void within Ling Chen's lower-dantian, she kinda missed the outside world.
Even though the dark energy within that place was very beneficial to her cultivation, it was still kinda hard and scary for her to stay in such a dark place with no light whatsoever where the concept of time didn't exist.
Though she didn't know where that place was exactly or how her master was able to send her there to recover from her injuries, she didn't dare to ask any question about it.
She had long realized that her master wasn't a simple young man.
As the blue-haired woman was admiring the moon, her expression suddenly changed as she looked into the distance with a frightening murderous intent in her eyes.
Meanwhile, a few kilometers away, an old man could be seen flying towards the Buddha Miracle Temple at an incredible speed followed by five men in black.
"Elder Mo, why did young master have to send powerful warriors like us just to kidnap two weak mortals." Asked one of the men in black in displeasure as they were flying towards the Buddha Miracle Temple.
"Long Xiang, if you have any complaint about the young master's arrangement, go tell him that yourself." Answered the old man with an irritated look on his face.
Elder Mo was clearly displeased by this arrangement as well. However, he didn't dare to disobey the young master.
He was 2nd Tribulation Martial Saint while the five people behind him were all 1st Tribulation Martial Saint, yet, the young master dispatched them to kidnap a weak woman as well as a little child. The young master was treating them as though they were a group of thugs or lawless bandits.
They all had high status and were all elders from the Long Family, yet they were task to do such menial work. In the eyes of powerful experts like them, these two people were no different from insects.
As they were getting closer to the Buddha Miracle Temple, elder Long Mo suddenly stopped his track as his senses were invaded by a terrifying feeling.
He then landed on top of a nearby building while looking at the alley where the Buddha Miracle Temple was located with a frightened expression on his face.
"Hmm?" historical
He sensed immense danger ahead. His instincts were practically screaming at him to stop moving forward.
It was the instinct he had gained after experiencing countless life-and-death situations and ambushes.
He had absolute trust in these instincts which he had developed after hundreds of years of experience and fighting.
Elder Mo knew that his instincts would not warn him with time to spare unless the situation was extremely grave.
Not only elder Mo, but the other five men in black were also feeling the same thing. They were looking at each other with confusion. They didn't know whether or not they should continue or retreat.
"Elder Mo, what should we do?" Asked one of the men in black in a quivering tone.
"According to our intel, the monk is living alone along with the pair of mother and daughter. So I don't think the dangerous feeling we felt came from his small temple. We should quickly get that damn pair of mother and daughter and get the hell out of there."
However, the moment Long Mo finished his sentence, they suddenly felt a chilling aura locked onto them as well as a thick killing intent. This sudden development shocked everyone.
Ohh shit!
The moment Long Mo and the other men in black felt that intense killing intent directed at them, they knew that they were being targeted by a powerful expert.
However, before they could say anything or coming up with a plan, a fog suddenly condensed as a shadow quietly appeared behind Long Mo.
Long Mo was a battle-hardened old monster that had been living for hundreds of years so, in a split second, he suddenly turned around and pierced a short knife straight towards the shadow behind him.
This stab was was simply too fast and wasn't impossible for the shadow behind him to dodge it or block it.
Stab!
The knife stabbed at the shadow's neck, but Long Mo didn't hear any scream or blood splashing.
Looking up, Long Mo realized that the knife did not pierce through the enemy's flesh, it only slightly pricked the skin. In fact, he felt as though he just stabbed a steeled door instead of a living being.
Looking up, he saw a blue-haired woman with a pair of bone-chilling crimson eyes which seemed to give off an endless aura of brutality staring him.
Upon seeing this scene, Long Mo's expression suddenly changed greatly. He realized that the blue-haired woman wasn't someone he could handle. That woman must be at least at the level of the patriarch.
Meanwhile, the blue-haired woman quietly clasped Long Mo's wrist and easily crushed it.
"Crack!"
And before Long Mo could even scream "Snap" she then pulled on it and Long Mo's hand was clearly severed from his arm, causing blood to spurt everywhere as he miserably screamed: "Ahh!!"
"Oh shit.. We.. need to run, now!" The other five men in black were scared out of their minds. They immediately ran the moment they understood the situation.
However, before they could take even one step forward, they discovered that they were unable to move anymore.
"Spatial Domain!" Blurted out one of them in a quivering voice.
At this moment, they were all scared shitless upon realizing that. As they raised their heads to ask for mercy, they noticed elder Mo being suspended by a blue-haired woman's hand.
Long Mo was suspended by the neck and was deathly pale as he pissed in his pants.
"I am .. I am .. an elder of the Long Clan, If you kill me.....the Long Clan will not let you off...." Elder Mo's heart was pumping with fear as he stuttered.
"You better let me go otherwise...." Elder Mo was scared out of his wits, but the words couldn't come out in time. "Poof!" The blue haired-woman five fingers came together and crushed his neck, leaving behind a bloody pool.
Once she was done, she threw the corpse Long Mo on the ground and transformed into giant Nine-Headed snakes and swallowed the others.
Compared to when she was in Ling Chen's dark void, its size seemed to have shrunk by half. As a powerful demon beast with traces of divine bloodline in her veins, she had the ability to increase or decrease its size at will.
After swallowing the five men in black alive, the giant Nine-Headed Snake transformed into the blue-haired woman. Her body was then surrounded by a thick fog as she disappeared from the building just like she came.
From the beginning to the end, she didn't say a single word.
