Chapter 682: Chapter 420: Superpowers: Wind Shield and Chain Control

Lu Tao was only a Tier One Peak cultivator. With strength like that, he would almost certainly be killed on the spot if he were hit by the half-meter-wide, blazing Fireball that Lin Li had launched.

Terrified, his face deathly pale and his body trembling uncontrollably, Lu Tao faced this perilous situation by simply closing his eyes and waiting for death.

Just as the Fireball was about to strike Lu Tao, a sudden gust of wind surged before him. Then, a circular, cyan shield over two meters in diameter materialized in an instant.

BANG.

The blazing Fireball slammed into the circular, cyan shield with a loud crash. The resulting explosion sent a heatwave sweeping out in all directions.

Lin Li stared at the cyan shield hovering in mid-air, which had blocked his Fireball, and muttered in surprise, "’Wind Shield?’"

Lu Tao, who was waiting for death with his eyes shut, heard the explosion in front of him. He squeezed his eyes even tighter, not daring to open them.

After a few seconds, Lu Tao realized he felt no pain and slowly opened his eyes.

When he saw the massive, cyan Wind Shield hovering before him, the panic on his face vanished, replaced by an expression of joyful surprise.

"Wu, is that you?!!!"

He let out a loud shout, then looked all around, searching for his savior.

The moment Lin Li saw the cyan Wind Shield, he knew a Cultivator with a Superpower had intervened. He immediately extended his Spiritual Power to perceive and scan the surrounding area.

Like a spider’s web, his Spiritual Power spread out from him, instantly blanketing an area dozens of meters wide.

Anything within this range emitting a Spiritual Energy Wave would have its location pinpointed by Lin Li’s Spiritual Perception.

’There.’

Under the sweeping search of his Spiritual Perception, Lin Li quickly discovered a powerful Spiritual Energy Wave in an alley to his front left. He turned to look in that direction.

TAP, TAP, TAP...

Footsteps echoed from the alley, and then two middle-aged men, both over forty, walked out one after the other.

The man in the lead was Wu Xiong, a trusted confidant of the Wu Family Patriarch. His body radiated the Spiritual Energy Wave of a Tier Two Peak cultivator.

Although the middle-aged man a step behind him wasn’t emitting any Spiritual Energy Waves, the fact that he arrived alongside Wu Xiong suggested he was also a powerful Cultivator.

"Wu! Old Zhang!!!" Lu Tao followed Lin Li’s gaze and turned around. When he saw not only Wu Xiong but also an old acquaintance, Zhang Di, he cried out in overjoyed relief.

"Lu Tao, this masked assailant is extremely dangerous. What are you standing there for? Get Fang Jingtang over here, quickly," Wu Xiong warned him.

"Right away, Wu." Lu Tao was furious with Fang Jingtang for the argument they’d had earlier, but he also knew the man still had his uses. So, despite his reluctance, he decisively carried out Wu Xiong’s order.

"Fang Jingtang, if you don’t want to die, get out of here with me now!"

His legs weak with fear, Fang Jingtang heard Lu Tao’s shout and nodded repeatedly.

He turned, and as he took his first step forward, Fang Jingtang nearly fell.

He stumbled a few times before steadying himself, then quickly followed Lu Tao, who was already running toward Wu Xiong.

"Trying to escape? Not so easy!!!" Lin Li saw his most important target—the very reason he’d come—running away. With a great shout, he gave chase.

"Captain Wu, he’s coming after me! Save me!!!" The fleeing Fang Jingtang heard the masked assailant’s shout from behind. He was so terrified his soul nearly left his body, and he cried out desperately to Wu Xiong for help.

"Old Zhang." Instead of using his own Superpower again, Wu Xiong called out to his associate, Zhang Di. The latter nodded, then immediately mobilized the Spiritual Energy in his Dantian to unleash his ability.

Zhang Di was nearly fifty. Though not as tall as Wu Xiong, the aura he projected was no less powerful.

His arms were wrapped in black chains as thick as a finger. After he mobilized the Spiritual Energy from his Dantian, a faint golden Spiritual Light bloomed from his arms.

After absorbing the Spiritual Energy, the finger-thick black chains wrapped around his arms seemed to come alive. They swiftly detached from his arms and shot out like lightning, heading straight for the masked assailant chasing Fang Jingtang.

WHOOSH.

WHOOSH.

"Hmm?!!!" Lin Li saw two black shadows hurtling toward him. He stopped in his tracks, quickly bent his knees, and leaped backward.

THUD.

THUD.

Two black chains, half a meter long and as thick as a finger, were embedded firmly in the ground like a pair of straight javelins. A faint golden Spiritual Light flickered across their surfaces.

Lin Li looked at the two black chains stuck in the ground, then raised his head to look at Zhang Di, the one who had thrown them.

’Another Tier Two Peak Cultivator with an awakened Superpower. The big shot behind the Red Blood Gang is really something else, sending two exceptionally skilled cultivators right from the start.’

While Lin Li was occupied, Lu Tao and Fang Jingtang successfully ran to Wu Xiong and Zhang Di’s side, temporarily out of danger.

"You masked bastard, prepare to die!" With two powerful backers in front of him, a newly confident Lu Tao became arrogant again, daring to shout curses at Lin Li.

Beside him, Fang Jingtang, whose legs had been weak with fear, hadn’t completely calmed his terrified heart, but he had recovered significantly.
