The silhouette that walked out of the fog was unreal at first, like a dream.
But as they got closer, the silhouette became clearer. It was tall and sturdy, like a mountain.
Every time the silhouette stepped forward, the fog surged like water.
Finally, the tall silhouette stopped in front of Wang Yan and Xian Er, and the fog dissipated.
"I didn't think you killed Qiu Chi and the others."
A voice that was like muffled thunder resounded, and it shook the surrounding dense fog to the point of rippling like water.
This person was Cang Qing, who was known as the Eternal Second of the Scorching Sun Sect's outer sect!
Hearing this, the strange expression on Wang Yan's face disappeared. What replaced it was coldness.
Wang Yan stared coldly at the person in front of him, who gave him an extremely dangerous feeling. Then, he slowly retreated, his expression still on guard.
"Since Senior Cang Jin has seen everything, then … are you preparing to take our lives?"
Towards Cang Jin, Wang Yan had an indescribable strange feeling.
He felt that this person was different, and a scary one at that.
Unless he had no other choice, he definitely wouldn't fight against Cang Jin.
Because he wasn't confident!
"No."
Saying two simple words, Cang Jin took another step forward.
His tall and sturdy figure gave people a strong sense of pressure, as if a mountain was pressing down on them. A heavy and fierce aura came rushing at them.
Wang Yan sighed in relief, and secretly gave Wang Xian Er a look. The two slowly retreated again.
"Since Senior Cang Jin isn't here to take our lives, why are you forcing us?"
Hearing this, Cang Jin's unchanging face showed a strange expression. He slowly reached out his fan-like hand towards Wang Yan.
"Give it to me."
His voice was like thunder, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
Wang Yan shook his head, and his gaze turned cold. "Senior Cang Jin … what is the meaning of this?"
In an instant, Cang Qing's eyes, which were flickering with a cold luster, revealed a hint of impatience.
"Earth Ranked Martial Technique, hand it over."
Accompanied by a deep sound, Cang Jin took another step forward, closing the distance between him and Wang Yan.
Almost at the same time, Wang Yan's muscles tightened and the astral power in his Dantian began to circulate, causing his aura to surge like a drum.
"Senior Brother Cang, what do you mean by this?
Could it be that you want to snatch it by force? "
Wang Yan glared at Cang Jin. If the latter dared to take another step forward, he would definitely attack immediately.
Moreover, Wang Yan had never imagined that his battle with Qiu Chi and the others would be witnessed by Cang Jin.
He had never expected that the first person to snatch the Earth Rank Martial Skill would be his Senior Brother.
He had to admit that this was ironic.
However, it was also very realistic!
"I am very interested in your Earth Rank Martial Skill. I would like to borrow it to take a look."
Cang Jin spoke as if he had facial paralysis. His tone was calm and his voice was buzzing.
Seeing that Cang Jin spoke as if he was talking about a trivial matter, Wang Yan could not help but feel annoyed.
Even if you are the Outer Disciple's Second Senior Brother, you can't be so overbearing!
"Senior Brother Cang Jin's actions are a bit too much. Forgive me for not being able to comply."
Wang Yan replied calmly. At the same time, his heart was in his throat. He was afraid that Cang Jin would attack him in the next second.
Luckily, what he imagined did not happen.
Hearing this, Cang Jin was stunned for a moment. Then, he stared at Wang Yan with a strange expression.
"I am your Senior Brother. My cultivation level is higher than yours. Why are you not willing to let me see it?"
When these serious words left his mouth, Wang Yan could not help but be dumbfounded. He exchanged glances with Wang Xian 'er and shook their heads.
Wang Yan had never seen someone like Cang Jin. He wanted to forcefully snatch the Earth Rank Martial Skill, but he said it as if it was only natural.
Shaking his head, Wang Yan laughed bitterly. "Senior Brother Cang, if you really want to borrow my Earth Rank Martial Skill to take a look, let's see what I am capable of."
After saying this, Wang Yan's eyes gradually became sharp. A faintly discernible killing intent permeated the air.
Wang Xian 'er, who was at the side, extended her slender jade-like hands and formed a hand seal.
In an instant, a desolate killing intent enveloped the surroundings.
"Alright, I understand."
Cang Jin nodded expressionlessly and withdrew his hand.
Suddenly, he turned around and walked back the way he came. His tall and sturdy figure quickly disappeared in the white fog.
"This, what is the meaning of this?"
Wang Yan heaved a sigh of relief. He tilted his head and looked at Wang Xian 'er, who also had a puzzled expression.
Hearing this, Wang Xian 'er was silent for a moment. Then, she said thoughtfully: "Maybe … maybe Senior Brother Cang felt that he could not win against Xian' er and Brother if they worked together, so he chose to retreat."
Is that really the case?
Wang Yan frowned. His intuition told him that Cang Jin really wanted to borrow the Earth Rank Martial Skill to take a look.
Because when he said this, for the first time, a strange expression appeared on his face, which was as if he had facial paralysis.
It was an expression that would only appear when one was very interested in something.
To be able to make a person of few words, who was not good with words, reveal such an expression, it meant that he was really moved.
But why did Cang Jin retreat?
Could it be as Wang Xian 'er said, that Cang Jin felt that he could not win against the two of them?
But … how could this be possible?
Could it be that he did not see that I have not completely recovered?
"Brother, what are you thinking?
Let's go quickly. Otherwise, what if Senior Brother Cang Jin regrets it? "
Just as Wang Yan was deep in thought, Wang Xian 'er suddenly said nervously and hurriedly.
Then, without waiting for Wang Yan to reply, Wang Xian 'er grabbed Wang Yan's hand and hurriedly walked into the depths of the white fog.
…
After an hour, Wang Yan looked at the towering tree that was hidden in the thick fog not far behind him. He could not help but laugh bitterly.
Because the tree trunk was marked with the emblem of the Sun Sect.
Just now, Wang Xian 'er was worried that Cang Jin would return, so she pulled Wang Yan and walked quickly.
Wang Xian 'er's spirit could be released to investigate, so Wang Yan was not worried that they would accidentally enter a dangerous place.
But he did not expect that in the end, the two of them still crossed the warning line marked by Cang Jin and mistakenly entered the depths of the Misty Forest.
"Brother."
Wang Xian 'er called softly, and her pretty face showed a touch of shame.
Seeing this, Wang Yan touched her little head, "This place is full of dense fog, Xian 'er's spirit also has a limit, I don't blame you."
Then, Wang Yan took Wang Xian 'er's little hand and turned to walk back.
"Roar!"
Right at this moment, a beast roar that was violent like thunder resounded out abruptly, and it shook the dense mist to the point it roiled without end and dispersed.
After hearing this, Wang Yan's face slightly tightened. He held Wang Xian 'er by the waist and quickly ran to the periphery.
"Roar roar roar!"
A series of three violent beast roars that seemed to be able to shatter the heaven and earth sounded again.
In an instant, the whole Misty Forest began to shake, as if there was an earthquake.
The thick fog quickly dissipated, as if something terrible was about to appear.
Wang Yan, who was running wildly, felt something and hurriedly looked back. He could not help but feel his scalp tingle, extremely shocked.
