Seeing the guard with the chains once again resolutely stand in front of Lin Yu, the black-robed high priest was at a loss for words.
Any normal cultivator would have realized the difference in strength between themselves and Lin Yu from that attack, but this guard with the chains seemed fearless and continued to block Lin Yu's path!
The scene before my eyes is truly surreal!
Right now, the guard holding the chains is in a state that can no longer be described as being at a disadvantage; he is no match for Lin Yu at all!
Standing before Lin Yu at this moment, it's unclear whether it's to uphold his own dignity or to protect the Daoist Shouyang within the mansion.
Lin Yu was more inclined to believe that the guard holding the chains was currently in a state of both states.
For a cultivator like him, life in the Netherworld Immortal Realm had always been smooth sailing. Although his life had been threatened to some extent, he always believed that he could turn danger into safety.
Therefore, what is called a threat can hardly be considered a threat at all.
Now, the guard holding the chain is responsible for guarding the entrance to the residence of Daoist Shouyang. Without Daoist Shouyang's order, no one can enter the cave.
If there is one, then you must step over his corpse!
Seeing the determined look in the eyes of the guard holding the chains, Lin Yu was slightly taken aback.
At first, Lin Yu thought the other person was just an arrogant and self-important guy, but after seeing the light in his eyes, Lin Yu suddenly felt like he had misjudged him.
This kid is surprisingly responsible.
Even though Lin Yu easily defeated them one by one, they still had to stand guard at the entrance of the mansion.
What Lin Yu didn't know was that before his arrival, the guard wielding the chains was invincible and virtually unbeatable.
The Soul-Locking Chain in his hand is renowned throughout the entire Netherworld Immortal Realm.
It was because of this soul-locking chain that the guard holding the chain was able to keep watch at the entrance of the Shouyang Daoist's residence.
However, all that past glory is now of no use.
After all, the weapons that were once sharp now seemed like two weak and powerless ropes to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu was like a phantom; the guard holding the chains couldn't catch a glimpse of Lin Yu at all.
It's not just about strength and speed; the opponent's speed is just too fast!
Gritting his teeth, the guard holding the chains charged forward again, shouting, "Again!"
As he spoke, a terrifying aura rose from the guard holding the chains, and a terrifying spiritual power spread out, indicating that the guard had actually burned his own life essence.
Lin Yu frowned slightly. He could sense that as the guard holding the chain changed his aura, the chain in his hand also changed to some extent.
Despite the overall improvement in speed and strength, the Soul-Locking Chains still couldn't even catch a glimpse of Lin Yu!
Sometimes it looks like you've hit Lin Yu, but in reality, you've only hit Lin Yu shadow.
In reality, Lin Yu wasn't fighting personally; he was using his phantom to fight the guard wielding the chains.
The Soul-Locking Chains are known for their speed, but in front of Lin Yu's phantom, that speed is utterly insignificant.
The high priest in black robes watched from the side, sighing repeatedly. As he delved deeper into Lin Yu Old Street, he increasingly doubted where he had gotten the confidence to challenge Lin Yu back then.
Moreover, at the very beginning, he was actually full of confidence, thinking that Lin Yu was just a junior and that defeating him would be a piece of cake.
Until today, I have completely taken a detached, bystander's perspective.
You wouldn't believe it until you see it; the difference in strength between the two is truly astounding.
"Back then, even if the Temple Master wanted to kill me, it would have been an easy task!" the black-robed high priest thought to himself.
Moreover, it's highly likely that not only the black-robed high priest himself, but if Lin Yu Lin Yu to use his full power, even the entire ancient phoenix clan would be annihilated with a flick of his finger...
"Just how powerful is this person?" the black-robed high priest mused.
He couldn't help but recall the Phoenix Lord's initial assessment of him, "Poor little thing"?!
What's so "pitiful" about this guy? I've looked at him from every angle—horizontally, vertically, left, right, up, and down—and I still can't see anything pitiful about Lin Yu!
The black-robed high priest felt that he was the most "pitiful" one!
"The Phoenix Lord has been very dependent on the Palace Master from the very beginning. Could it be that she sensed something all along?" The black-robed high priest thought of a question.
Although Feng Nianzhi has the appearance of a child, her mind is not that of a child at all. When facing Lin Yu, Feng Nianzhi trusts him completely without the slightest doubt. I wonder if she sensed something?
While the black-robed high priest was lost in thought, Lin Yu's phantom was still exchanging blows with the guard holding the chains.
By burning his own life force, the guard holding the chains briefly regained some of his strength.
At some point, the guard who held the chain stopped using it; more accurately, he shrunk it.
When it was making money, the Soul-Locking Chain was about nine zhang long and weighed a thousand jin, but now, after being shrunk, it was only the size of a bracelet.
This Soul-Locking Chain is not an ordinary magical artifact. To create such an artifact, one must fuse it with the caster's spiritual power.
In other words, in a sense, the name of the guard holding the chain is linked to the Soul-Locking Chain. If the Soul-Locking Chain breaks or is damaged, the caster will also be in danger.
This soul-locking chain is the most difficult to forge among all magical artifacts. Not only is it difficult to forge, but the user also has to endure several times the pain during the fusion process.
Because this Soul-Locking Chain itself is forged from immense resentment, during the fusion process, one must firmly uphold one's original intention and not be influenced by countless wandering souls.
Lin Yu stood aside and watched the battle for a while, seemingly lost in thought. He could tell that the guard and the Soul-Locking Chain had been fused together for some time.
Such skillful combat is definitely not something that can be achieved overnight; it must have taken a long time to integrate and master.
When the black-robed high priest saw the guard put away the chains, he immediately felt that things were not so simple, because the guard's eyes were now unwavering.
