At that moment.
His scalp prickled. He instantly pulled the Black Sword from Lin En's chest, scarlet deathlight flaring across its blade, and swung wildly at Lin En's body once again.
But this time, he failed.
Crack.
Lin En's slender hand caught the blade out of thin air, sending showers of sparks hissing from it.
Under his trembling gaze, as though he were falling into an abyss, Lin En's slumped body slowly straightened. The scarlet chains around him snapped apart as he rose, as though all the crushing pressure inflicted on him had been nothing more than a breeze against his face.
He slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of breathtaking eyes beneath his long hair.
"It seems you really are hiding quite a few secrets."
"Then let me guess. Is Hana Ye your master's Vessel? Or is she... the Vessel of someone a rank higher-the King of the Red Moon?"
Immense terror flooded his eyes.
"Impossible... you... what exactly are you..."
The hand gripping his sword was drenched in sweat almost instantly.
Holding the blade of his opponent's sword, Lin En smiled.
"What's impossible about it? I just wanted to get some information out of you. You didn't really think that little borrowed domain of yours could trap me, did you? You're underestimating me a little too much!"
"Master!!"
He threw back his head and howled, a terrifying aura instantly erupting from his body.
Lin En immediately sensed something descending into the man's body.
But Lin En gave him no chance.
Almost simultaneously, Lin En's fist shot forth like a spear breaking through enemy lines. Amid the roaring wind, it smashed into the man's head. At such close range, no one could withstand the terrifying power contained in that punch.
Boom-
Blood sprayed.
His entire head instantly exploded
