History's Number 1 Founder Chapter 1336 – It’s Difficult to Escape

Looking at Wang Lin, Yun Cheng’s heart turned cold.

Just now, his opponent’s target was Ning Feng and not him, even though he was much more powerful.

Without asking, he knew that its objective was to keep the both of them there!

This was to prevent Ning Feng from escaping as Wang Lin and Yun Cheng fought.

Wang Lin was expressionless. He did not look like someone who had just killed an Undying Demon Soul Third Level Hades who was exceptionally strong.

Yet, he threw Yun Cheng an icy-cold gaze.

After Wang Lin achieved the Immortal Soul stage, he was not as cold and harsh as he had been in when he was in his Aurous Core and Nascent Soul stage. He appeared to be someone who had regained traces of his mortality. When he did not use his spells, he appeared to be an ordinary person. In his fight, even when he used his most powerful attacks, he did not appear vicious.

Today, his cold and vicious aura harkened back to his earlier days. It was rare indeed.

It was all for Big Luo. How could Wang Lin not know the sacrifices Big Luo made for Ning Wan’ge and him during their closed door training?

Big Luo was confused about his background. Wang Lin knew about it, and he also knew that Big Luo had no intention of fighting with the Hades Tribe.

Earlier, Ning Feng was injured by Big Luo. In that fight, Big Luo had no choice but to attack. From another perspective, it was because he Big Luo had already fought to the end. After he lost control over himself, he gradually sank into a state of rage where he could no longer control himself.

Big Luo did not want to kill both Ning Feng and Yun Cheng.

However, to Wang Lin, there was no way he would just ignore the fact that the they had injured Big Luo se severely to this extent, even though they were from the tribe. He must stand up for Big Luo.

Even if Wang Lin had no ascended into the Immortal Soul Second Level, causing him to no longer fear Yun Cheng, even if he were weaker than his opponent, he would not retreat. His only option would be to fight.

Wang Lin stared coldly at Yun Cheng. An odd light flashed in his eyes and the black-and-white cross of his Heaven-Defying Life Changing Curse came crashing down onto Yun Cheng. It hung like a sword over Yun Cheng’s head, one whose blade was cold and merciless. Yun Cheng could not just ignore it.

Yun Cheng was frustrated. Just now, under Wang Lin’s influence, he acted in a completely different way compared to Ning Feng.

If he had attacked with Ning Feng, Wang Lin would have been able to kill him so easily. Even if Ning Feng died at Wang Lin’s hands, Yun Cheng would still be able to make Wang Lin pay.

However, now, Ning Feng had died for nothing. How could Yun Cheng not be frustrated?

Just as this thought surfaced in his mind, Yun Cheng suddenly felt a chill running down his heart. He forcibly calmed himself. Whatever thought that surfaced, he would try and deal with it calmly.

Then, he looked at the Black and Red World that was approaching him. Grey and white light encircled his body in the form of a fog of light, protecting him.

Earlier, when he was with Ning Feng, he opted to retreat. Regardless whether it was under Wang Lin’s influence or not, Yun Cheng continued with his earlier strategy. He was not easily swayed.

Under these circumstances, wavering and being uncertain would only make the situation worse, regardless of one’s actual conditions.

Just now, from their fight and the death of Ning Feng, Yun Cheng could ascertain that he was not Wang Lin’s opponent. His judgement of Wang Lin earlier was mistaken, and it could have been influenced by Wang Lin’s mysterious powers, which heightened his arrogance.

Now, Yun Cheng could ascertain that in a battle to the death, he could make Wang Lin pay dearly for it. However, without the intervention of an external party, he would surely be one on the losing end.

Perhaps Wang Lin inversed his trick, and heightened Yun Cheng’s sense of fear and insecurity, causing him to lose faith in himself.

However, Yun Cheng was extremely calm at the moment. He may be emotionally instable at times, which would affect his mood and cause him to underestimate or overestimate his opponent. However, he was extremely confident of his assessment of reality now.

Before him, Wang Lin casually killed Ning Feng while toying with them both. This caused him to miss a chance to take care of him.

Regardless whether it was because of his mastery over spells or because of his strategic prowess, Wang Lin was no ordinary opponent. In another place and in another time, Yun Cheng would not be able to do what Wang Lin had done.

Even so, Yun Cheng could only stick with his original plan, which was to escape.

He could clearly sense Wang Lin’s killing intent.

The more an enemy wanted something, the more one should not give in. Most of the time, this was a golden principle.

However, Yun Cheng did not lack battling experience. In the last War of the Two Worlds, he was already able to dominate the Barren Expanses.

This time, while he wanted to leave, he was in no rush. It was not a messy retreat, but instead a well-calculated one. He would cover all possible grounds to prevent Wang Lin from coming after him. At the same time, he would be planting traps along the way. If Wang Lin tried to pursue him, he would not hesitate to retaliate.

As he watched Yun Cheng make his escape plans, the cold light in Wang Lin’s eyes flashed once more. His Virtual Entity, which was the size of an ordinary mortal, walked forward in the void.

As he walked forward, a black and yellow path appeared underneath his feet. At the end of the path, there was dusky-yellow river which gurgled non-stop. However, it was completely silent. The entire scene appeared both conflicting and extremely strange.

When the Wangchuan River appeared, a large amount of River Styx Primordial Water surged forth and surrounded Yun Cheng.

The dusky-yellow River Styx Primordial Water crashed against the fog of light that surrounded Yun Cheng. The fog of light started tremble violently.

The two sides clashed but no sound could be heard. Instead, where the River Styx Primordial Water touched the fog of light, they appeared to be mysterious separated and a vacuum appeared to have formed.

In this space, regardless whether it was the River Styx Primordial Water or the fog of light, nothing seemed capable of filling it up. Yet, everything else in it was destroyed.

Dust and air alike no longer existed. Space was distorted and even rays of light appeared to be absorbed. The entire appeared to be without light.

This space continually expanded, slowly eating away at the River Styx Primordial Water and the grey and white fog of light. They started to disappear.

Wang Lin was in no rush. With the River Styx Primordial Water, which was all-cleansing and able to bring everything back to their most primal form, he slowly eroded the fog of light that protected Yun Cheng.

In another time, with Yun Cheng’s explosive and intense demonic powers, he would have been able to dissipate the River Styx Primordial Water even though it may be corroded by it. Then, he would be able to break through the encirclement without suffering much losses.

However, as Yun Cheng devoted all his attention to defense, he was like a slab of meat slowly carved apart by Wang Lin. The situation was entirely different.

Looking at the situation, Yun Cheng frowned. If they were competing to see whose powers were vaster, he would not mind taking up the challenge.

Even if Wang Lin had more powerful spells, and was better at combat, but in terms of a pure battle of attrition, Yun Cheng may not necessarily lose to Wang Lin. With Wang Lin’s Immortal Soul Second Level powers, this was the only thing that Yun Cheng had an advantage in.

Even if Wang Lin had the Pearl of the River Styx, Yun Cheng was not afraid.

However, Wang Lin’s Heaven-Defying Life Changing Curse was still around. If he used his fog of light to battle against the River Styx Primordial Water, and if the River Styx Primordial Water devoured his fog of light and affected its functions, any blow by Wang Lin would be catastrophic for him.

As he thought about it here, a dark look crossed Yun Cheng’s face. All three of his horns started to shine with light. Combined with his own powers, grey and white light appeared at the center of his forehead.

A wildly powerful Faint Brilliance of Hades blasted straight at Wang Lin!

Even the fog of light around Yun Cheng started to churn under the influence of the Faint Brilliane of Hades. It became a giant whirlpool, and with the Faint Brilliance of Hades as its center, it churned and whirled. All powers later appeared to be concentrated with it, causing the Faint Brilliance of Hades’ powers to be maximized.

A vast and explosive grey-white light pierced through the River Styx Primordial Water that surrounded Yun Cheng. While the River Styx Primordial Water had been eliminated, the counter-attack continued on its path and went straight for Wang Lin’s Virtual Entity.

Since the War of the Two Worlds, the Hades Tribe had been gathering information about the Celestial Sect of Wonders ever since Lin Feng forced them to retreat.

Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders had replaced the Great Void Sect as the number one target of the Hades.

While they did not have much time, and hence their information was limited, coupled with Wang Lin’s sudden ascension into the Immortal Soul Second Level and the vast increase in his powers, the Hades did suffer a great deal because of it. However, Yun Cheng still had some understanding of him.

Other than the mantras of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Wang Lin knew the spells of the Satanic Way, and was able to resurrect.

However, no one knew if one could resurrect one’s Virtual Entity after it had been destroyed.

If a cultivator’s Virtual Entity had been destroyed, then his powers would be greatly reduced and his mastery may even fall by a few levels. Right now, Yun Cheng wanted to force Wang Lin to use his Heaven-Defying Life Changing Curse for self-defence, allowing him to break free.

If Wang Lin did not use the curse to defend himself, then both sides would be embroiled in a deadly death match. Even if Wang Lin could resurrect, he would not easily sacrifice his Virtual Entity!

Wang Lin’s eyes shone with light and countless of light shadows flashed. This was his Two Elements Heart Curse, which he formed using the powers of his sect’s The Heavenly Classic of the Way’s Virtues, the teachings of the Ancient Satanic Sect, and the powers of the Great Thunderclap Temple.

Earlier, when he used his Demon and Bodhi Heart Imprint, it was a manifestation of this spell.

At this moment, faced with Yun Cheng’s attack, Wang Lin was calm and his left eye flashed. In the sky, a black-and-white cross descended, blocking the Faint Brilliance of Hades.

At the same time, another black-and-white cross appeared in his other eye. It then shot towards Yun Cheng.

Looking at this situation, Yun Cheng shouted in panic, “It’s formed.”

In his eye, the white halo which had been encircling it suddenly turned from white to black. Then, a black beam of light shot out.
