104: Ah? I'm growing old?

“What? You plan to fight me, a Martial Emperor, with your Martial Master cultivation?”

Seeing Lin Yan’s prolonged refusal to become ‘ghost possessed,’ Wind Without Sleep’s patience was slowly wearing thin.

However, he still wanted to see Lin Yan’s desperate expression as he exhausted all his trump cards, only to be trampled underfoot.

So, he showed a slight restraint.

“Sorry, but I might have to disappoint you! I don’t have Medicine Venerable on me; you’ve got the wrong channel!”

Lin Yan wasn’t sure which remote corner this Martial Emperor had emerged from. But one thing was certain: this wasn’t an ordinary Martial Emperor.

Moreover, the other party could even speak in standard novel tropes.

This point made him even more extraordinary.

Lin Yan looked at Wind Without Sleep and said, “The next question concerns your life and death, so you... you must answer it correctly.”

“Odd changes, even doesn’t.”

“Receive!”

Wind Without Sleep coldly watched Lin Yan babbling nonsense, his patience completely worn out. He turned his left hand into a palm and pressed his right fist into his left palm, as if extracting something.

“I gave you a chance.”

“Since you didn’t seize the Opportunity, then go to hell!”

“Five-Finger Fist-Heart Sword!”

Wind Without Sleep pulled his right fist from his left palm, carrying endless Sword Intent, and thrust it fiercely towards Lin Yan below.

Lin Yan’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

“Odd changes, even doesn’t, Five-Finger Fist-Heart Sword!”

“Oh no! This guy is a demonic cultivator Transmigrator!”

“Chu Ge, Ning Ge! Help me!”

As Lin Yan’s cry for help rang out, a sound like iron chains sliding echoed in the Void Realm.

Immediately after, Wind Without Sleep found his right hand, left hand, waist, and both legs entangled by chains.

His entire body was locked in mid-air in a spread-eagle posture.

Seeing Wind Without Sleep locked down, Lin Yan wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear.

“That was close! Luckily, I’m not alone! I also have a gang behind me...”

Saying that, he looked at the restrained Wind Without Sleep again and chuckled, “Buddy, where are you from? You dare to commit crimes without even a gang; you’re quite bold!”

Without Wind Without Sleep’s pressure, the Lin Clan members felt a lightness in their bodies, and one by one, they stood up, panting heavily.

They looked at the strange individuals beside Lin Yan, their hearts pounding.

A Martial Emperor-Rank expert, trapped in one move.

What Rank of experts were these people?

What had their Young Clan Chief, who had been a good-for-nothing for three years, been doing all these years to befriend such powerful individuals?

Everyone swallowed, looking at the young Prodigy in front of them, feeling both incredibly familiar and incredibly strange.

These people had been with the Lin Clan’s Young Clan Chief for so many years, yet it was as if they had never seen his true self.

At this moment, Lin Zhan, as a father, also felt that his son was incredibly unfamiliar.

Lin Yan didn’t know how the Lin Clan members viewed him, and even if he did, he wouldn’t care.

At this moment, he was discussing this suspected wild Transmigrator with Chu Mo and the others.

The chains shot from the Void Realm, under Ning Haocheng’s control, pulled him to the ground.

“How should we deal with this guy?”

As soon as the words fell.

Green flames ignited on Wind Without Sleep’s body. The flames continuously burned the chains but could never break them.

“What kind of chains are these? Why can’t my Ten Thousand Year Earth Core Fire burn through these damned chains?!”

Wind Without Sleep’s face was filled with disbelief.

The Ten Thousand Year Earth Core Fire in his hand was one of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire. Even a Martial Ancestor expert facing his fully unleashed Ten Thousand Year Earth Core Fire could only temporarily avoid its edge.

Unless...

Unless it was a Martial Venerable!

But how could a Martial Venerable-Rank expert appear in such a remote place as the Yun Ling Empire?

“Waa hahaha, he even has Green Lotus Earth Core Fire.” Qi Xuan circled around Wind Without Sleep, scrutinizing the green flames, then turned to Lin Yan and said, “Old Lin, you only got Xiao Huohuo’s starting script; he’s got the normal Protagonist’s script.”

Lin Yan grumbled, “There are no ‘Exotic Flames’ in the Eight Desolations Continent, only Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire. Although the effects are similar to Exotic Flames, it’s still quite different...”

“It’s basically similar enough.”

Qi Xuan looked at Wind Without Sleep and gave him a thumbs up: “Odd changes, even doesn’t, Five-Finger Fist-Heart Sword, buddy, you’re in the know! You started by using your Martial Emperor strength against Old Lin, what a pity though, what a pity you ran into us, otherwise, if you had really succeeded, I can only say, you’re truly unlucky!”

“Whether I’m unlucky or not is one thing, I only know that today I almost had terrible luck. You tell me, I just stayed at home, didn’t go out looking for trouble, so why did disaster fall from the sky?”

He paused, his attention turning to Wind Without Sleep, scrutinizing his face.

Alright! Completely unfamiliar!

“Brother, I really don’t know you. If you’re trying to dominate, then blocking the Novice Village (newbie village) from the start and ambushing my Opportunity halfway through is just too immoral.”

“Bah! Lin Yan, stop pretending! Today I fell into your hands, I’m not convinced, but the victor is king, the loser is bandit, I accept my fate. Come on! Kill me!”

Wind Without Sleep refused to say more, closing his eyes, looking as if he was resigned to Lin Yan’s mercy. He had clearly accepted his fate.

“You’re not ready for anything, yet you try to block the Novice Village (newbie village). I have to say, you’re quite a strange one.” Chu Mo affirmed Wind Without Sleep’s actions of blocking Lin Yan’s Novice Village (newbie village).

But at the same time, he felt that this person was too idealistic and not cautious at all.

Just a mere Martial Emperor, he hasn’t even reached the Peak of this world yet! Isn’t he afraid of triggering the Protagonist Halo and having a passing expert save Lin Yan?

However...

“It’s correct that you accept your fate. Also, I’ll have to confiscate this Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire on you!”

As soon as the words fell.

A Talisman appeared in Chu Mo’s hand, glowing with golden light, and he slammed it onto Wind Without Sleep’s chest.

“You, with your strength, want to take the Ten Thousand Year Earth Core Fire from my body? You’re truly courting death!”

Sensing Chu Mo’s aura, Wind Without Sleep showed extreme disdain. The other party’s strength was similar to his own, yet he wanted to forcibly subdue this Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire that already had a master?

When he had subdued the unmastered Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, he had suffered so much and almost died. Now, there was such a reckless youth actively seeking death.

At such a close distance, he could completely use the Ten Thousand Year Earth Core Fire within his body to trade blow for blow with the other party.

“Unleash!”

Wind Without Sleep mobilized the violent Ten Thousand Year Earth Core Fire within his body. In an instant, the Spiritual Qi in the world surged, and the surrounding temperature rose sharply.

In a flash, the Lin Clan members felt as if they were in a volcano, their bodies drenched in sweat, their breathing difficult, as if they were about to be roasted alive.

Qi Xuan, Lin Yan, and Li Tian Ce were protected by a magical shield cast by Ning Haocheng, while Chu Mo maintained his extracting motion.

Wind Without Sleep, engulfed in green flames, laughed wildly: “Hahahahaha, today, even if I die, I’ll drag someone down with me!”

However, he hadn’t been happy for long before he discovered that all the Ten Thousand Year Earth Core Fire on his body had been absorbed by a small Talisman.

“Heh heh, drag someone down? With just this small flame? I can only say, your knowledge is too limited.”

Upon hearing this, the color drained from Wind Without Sleep’s face, turning ashen, and he suddenly looked at Lin Yan.

This familiar laughter.

He would remember it even in his next life.

During those days in the Ghost Hall, he could hear this sound every moment, like a nightmare, lingering in his heart.

“You... you also Rebirth? You also joined the Ghost Hall, they... they are all Ghost Hall Elders?!”
