Wang Lin's face was pale. He felt an unimaginably powerful force suddenly explode in the middle of the battle. This caused his body to tremble and he was forced back. He coughed out a mouthful of blood and staggered back a few steps after landing on the ground.
As for Russell, he also coughed out a mouthful of blood and was forced back several dozen feet. He stared at Wang Lin and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
Master Flamespark separated the two of them and didn't favor either side. However, the mouthful of blood from Wang Lin caused the Ji Realm in Shimizu's eyes to appear!
"He is not someone you can kill, you don't have the qualifications!" The moment the Ji Realm appeared, the world changed colors and a cold aura shrouded the area!
This cold aura contained an extreme power. The expressions of the old monsters on the praying mats changed greatly. This was the first time they had felt Celestial Lord Shimizu's most powerful spell!
They weren't the only ones. All of the surrounding cultivators' faces flickered with astonishment!
"Stop!!" Master Flamespark suddenly got up, but his voice was too late!
Russell only felt an irresistible force rush into his body in an instant. He only saw his vision turn red, as if a red bolt of lightning had entered his body. Immediately after, he heard the sound of his Yuan Shen collapsing!
When this sound entered his ears, an unimaginable pain rumbled through his body like crazy!
Russell's origin soul was unable to resist the red lightning at all. It collapsed in an instant and turned into countless fragments that entered his body. At that moment, his body coughed out a large amount of blood mist. He struggled to turn around to look at the person who had killed him, but he was only able to do this halfway before his eyes dimmed and he fell to the ground with a bang!
He was dead!
There was a flash of red light from Russell's body. The red light took Russell's broken origin soul and returned to Shimizu's body. Shimizu's face turned slightly red.
Silence, the surroundings were completely silent. This sudden scene caused all the surrounding cultivators to suck in a breath of cold air. It was as if they had lost their minds as they watched this unimaginable scene!
"Shimizu!!" Master Flamespark's expression was ferocious. He was filled with anger as he stared at Shimizu.
Shimizu calmly said, "You made Xu Mu cough out a mouthful of blood and I'll take his life!"
Master Flamespark stared at Shimizu and said, "The Old Man wasn't biased at all. Shimizu, if you don't give me an explanation, then the Old Man will fight you even if I have to give up on the celestial title!"
"It was just a slip. If you want to fight, then let's fight!"
A red light flashed in Qing Shui's right eye. Ever since he absorbed the divine retribution, his Ji Realm had recovered a bit, and the way he did things in the past gradually revealed itself.
There was no reason to kill. If there was a reason, then it would be to protect his own!
There was no way for him to repay the kindness his Master had shown him. Although his Master had been joking all those years ago, as of this moment, Bai Xiaochun was very serious. In his heart, Xu Mu was his Junior Brother, and as long as he was there, no one could bully Xu Mu!
Moreover, the killing intent in Russell's eyes had been clearly seen by Shimizu. He had to kill such a person!
Wang Lin was silent. He looked at Shimizu and said respectfully, "Thank you … Elder Brother!"
As soon as these words came out, the silence in the surroundings suddenly turned into a frenzied wolf!
"Senior brother?
This … this Xu Mu is senior Shimizu's junior brother? "
"This is too unbelievable. I didn't expect Shimizu and Xu Mu to be from the same sect. Rumor has it that Shimizu's master was Celestial Emperor Bai Fan … This Xu Mu … is actually Bai Fan's disciple?"
"No wonder this Xu Mu has been so arrogant all these years. So his Senior Brother is Celestial Master Shimizu. Hmph, without Celestial Master Shimizu, I'm afraid this Xu Mu is nothing!"
Xu Ting's expression was gloomy. He licked his lips and stared at Wang Lin. Hundreds of thoughts flashed through his mind, but in the end, he looked at Shimizu with fear and made a decision in his heart.
As for the six-fingered cultivator and the big-headed boy, they were both startled. They frowned and had their own thoughts.
Xi Zifeng's mouth was wide open. Her eyes were filled with disbelief toward the relationship between Wang Lin and Shimizu. While she was happy, she couldn't help but sigh.
"With my identity, I'm afraid there won't be any outcome between us in this lifetime …"
"My lord is actually Celestial Emperor Bai Fan's disciple!!
Celestial Master Shimizu's junior brother!! "
Shengong Hu sucked in a breath of cold air and the reverence in his eyes was replaced with fanaticism once more. This time, it was even stronger than before. As his understanding of Wang Lin deepened, this fanaticism seemed to last forever!
Zhan Konglie stared dumbfoundedly at the scene before him and made up his mind!
As for Nangong Han, he bitterly smiled and thought, "This Xu Mu and Celestial Master Shimizu are from the same sect. It looks like I have to get closer to him in the future. It will definitely be good for me in the future."
Not only them, but the eyes of the old monsters on the praying mats lit up. They were obviously shocked by this matter. Only Blood God sneered in his heart.
Bursts of discussion entered Master Flamespark's ears. He looked at Shimizu, and after pondering for a bit, he laughed and said, "Since it was an accident by Celestial Master, then this matter will be over. I just hope that Celestial Master doesn't make another mistake out of consideration for us cultivators."
Shimizu closed his eyes and silently cultivated.
Master Flamespark let out a sigh in his heart. He had opened the seal to invite Shimizu. Although Shimizu's cultivation hadn't recovered, under his careful observation, he found that there was a hidden power in Shimizu's body. This power wasn't the Ji Realm, but it still made him feel dread. He really didn't want such a small matter to affect the relationship between them.
Most importantly, even the senior who had subdued the Moon Beast, whom he respected greatly, had warned him not to easily provoke Qing Shui. Even Bai Fan had wanted to take him in as a disciple and appease him, not force him to submit.
"This Russell is too arrogant!
If he is dead, then he is dead. What a pity for his divine sense spell … "Master Flamespark's gaze fell on Wang Lin and he thought," This Xu Mu must have a powerful origin soul protection treasure. Perhaps it was given to him by Shimizu. "
Master Flamespark's voice was calm. "Xu Mu, qualified!"
After Russell's death, Master Flamespark called for someone else to take charge of the first trial. They were probably shocked by Russell's death. In the end, out of the 325 people, 196 remained. The rest disappeared into the transfer array and were sent out.
"The second trial, the earth trial!" Master Flamespark raised his right hand, formed a seal, and pressed down on the thunder lake below.
Immediately, an illusory seal formed in his hand, and with a bang, it landed on the square. At the instant it did so, the entire ten thousand feet square immediately started boiling. Thunderous rumbles reverberated madly in the air, and countless green bolts of lightning flashed and swam about, as if they had turned into a real pool of lightning.
These bolts of lightning were like silver snakes that flickered endlessly. They were densely packed, and as the thunder roared, they gathered together and spread out in all directions. At the very center of the ten thousand feet wide plaza, there was an empty space that was thirty feet wide.
"Last for 15 breaths of time and you will pass. The rest will be disqualified!"
A roar came from the thunder lake. An illusory thunder spirit formed by countless bolts of thunder appeared outside the 30-foot-wide area. As it moved, it gave off a powerful aura.
The gazes of the surrounding cultivators all fell on Wang Lin. In the first trial, Wang Lin was definitely in the limelight. A majority of the cultivators wanted to see how long Xu Mu could last in the second trial!
Even some famous old monsters began to pay attention.
"The power of the thunder spirit inside the thunder lake is not something an ordinary person can withstand. This Xu Mu will be able to last at most 20 breaths of time. After all, not many messengers of the Thunder Celestial Temple can last more than 20 breaths of time under the power of the thunder spirit!"
"As far as I know, the thunder lake of the Thunder Celestial Temple is one of the tests for the title of messenger. Messengers of the Thunder Celestial Temple are divided into four ranks. 20 breaths is the fourth rank, 80 breaths is the first rank, and 100 breaths is the first rank!
I just don't know how long this Xu Mu will last. I'm looking forward to it! "
"This thunder lake tests real cultivation. I fear a miracle won't happen for this Xu Mu!
I'm more optimistic about Xu Ting from planet Dong Lin! "
The surrounding cultivators began to discuss in low voices.
