Chapter 4429
“How dare you, a mere remnant soul, think poorly of Auntie? Today, I will beat you to a pulp!”
Lin Keting was furious!
“Hahaha! Your powers are all suppressed! How dare you speak out?”
The man laughed heartily, unfazed by the situation. Even though he was just a remnant soul with his strength reduced to a fraction of its former self, he felt confident against Kai and the others, who were merely ordinary people with their abilities restricted.
“Go to hell!”
Lin Keting shouted fiercely, her hand raised as runes began to glow with energy.
In an instant, a beam of golden light shot towards the man!
The man was taken aback and quickly retreated, while the stone beasts flanking the grand hall began to spin ominously!
The golden light collided with the stone beasts, only to be deflected and lose its power!
Seeing her attack fail, Lin Keting’s expression turned grim!
She realized that this was her only chance.
The man reappeared in front of Kai and the others, glaring at Lin Keting with fury in his eyes.
“You little girl, who is that old Taoist to you? How did you come to possess the runes he drew for you?”
“Regardless of your connection to him, I hold that old Taoist responsible for my predicament today, and you will bear the brunt of my anger!”
With that, he flicked his wrist!
A force lifted Lin Keting off the ground, making it hard for her to breathe; she feared for her life.
Desperately, she clutched her jade pendant, thinking of breaking it to save herself, when suddenly a sword light surged toward her!
“Let her go!”
Kai, wielding the Dragon Slashing Sword, swung it fiercely at the man!
The overwhelming sword intent caught the man off guard, prompting him to release Lin Keting!
Kai was astonished by the sheer power of his own attack, unsure how he had generated such sword energy!
“Kid, even with your powers suppressed, you can still unleash such force. Your physical body must be remarkably strong, which makes me feel I made a wise choice.”
“If your flesh were weak, I wouldn’t be able to take over. For you to be susceptible to my takeover is a blessing you’ve cultivated over a hundred years.”
After speaking, the man lunged toward Kai!
This time, Kai didn’t rely on his Dragon Slashing Sword; instead, he threw a powerful punch!
“Holy Light Fist!”
Kai shouted as he unleashed a torrent of golden light with his physical prowess!
The man frowned, then suddenly vanished into thin air.
As the light faded, the man was no longer in the grand hall.
However, just as Kai was beginning to feel confused, he was struck by an unseen force and sent sprawling backward!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Kai crashed through several stone beasts, hitting the ground with a heavy thud!
After coming to a stop, he began to cough up blood, clearly injured!
“Kai…” Lin Keting cried out, rushing to his side with concern etched on her face!
Kai looked at Lin Keting, momentarily speechless. If it hadn’t been for her, he might have unwittingly allowed that man to invade his consciousness and take over!
“You brat! You know the boxing techniques from the Heavenly Realm! If I’m not mistaken, that punch of yours is the Wind Demon Jedi.”
“I never expected that after all these years, the Wind Demon’s Jedi would still manifest in a cultivator like you.”
“When I take over your body, your power will increase significantly.”
The man’s figure slowly materialized in mid-air within the grand hall, looking down at both Kai and Lin Keting!
“I won’t let you take him!”
Lin Keting stood protectively in front of Kai, clutching the life-preserving jade pendant tightly!
Kai, seeing this, quickly urged, “Miss Lin, you need to escape! Leave me behind!”
“No, I can’t abandon you,” Lin Keting insisted, shaking her head resolutely!
