After seeing the mid Immortal Lord’s Immortal Infant vanish before his eyes, Evan Lin could only sigh helplessly. This trouble would have to be dealt with later—right now, escaping this place as quickly as possible was the priority.
This battle with a mid Immortal Lord expert had exposed his own shortcomings. The fact that he managed to heavily injure the opponent and force his Immortal Infant to flee was mostly thanks to the enemy’s carelessness—if it had been a true life-and-death fight, he might not have been the winner.
The protective shield from Tom Chu and Jade Chu had played a huge role—without it, he would definitely have ended up seriously injured. With a thought, he quickly activated teleportation and shot off into the distance.
But at that moment, Blazefire Immortal Lord, riding on the Celestial Vulture, was already chasing after Evan Lin at full speed. The Celestial Vulture was far faster than the previous immortal bird ridden by the mid Immortal Lord.
After their earlier battle, that other immortal bird had vanished somewhere, and before long, an angry roar echoed behind Evan Lin: “Kid, where do you think you’re running?!”
As the words fell, a massive immortal bird appeared right in front of Evan Lin. On its back sat another middle-aged man, and beside him floated the Immortal Infant that had escaped after being grievously wounded by Evan.
Evan Lin was instantly shocked. The aura radiating from this newcomer was even stronger than the one he’d just fought—at least late Immortal Lord Realm. Facing such a powerhouse, there was nothing to do but run.
Both sides sized each other up. At this moment, the Immortal Infant spoke: “Blazefire Immortal Lord, this punk is the one who destroyed my physical body. He seems to have some special method for breaking spatial domains—my own spatial domain was completely useless against him.
He can also unleash terrifying lightning attacks, so watch out and don’t let him catch you off guard.”
“Don’t worry about that. A mere punk like this isn’t even worth my attention,” Blazefire Immortal Lord replied dismissively.
Evan Lin was feeling utterly depressed. He’d just dealt with one Immortal Lord, and now another had popped up. Were top-tier experts in the Immortal Realm really this common? It was starting to seem like Immortal Lords were cheap—he’d run into two in a row.
Facing an opponent like this, Evan Lin had no idea how to respond. The protective shield from Jade Chu and Tom Chu was useless now—at this moment, he felt a real sense of crisis.
“Kid, I hear you’re pretty capable—even managed to beat a mid Immortal Lord. What’s your name? If your answer satisfies me, maybe I’ll let you keep your corpse whole. Otherwise, I’ll obliterate you, body and soul!” Blazefire Immortal Lord said.
In his eyes, Evan Lin was nothing. With late Immortal Lord Realm strength, he could easily take on ten mid Immortal Lords at once.
“Why should I answer you? Who even are you? I have no grudge with you, so why do you want to kill me? Is everyone from Coldriver City a rabid dog or something, attacking people on sight?” Evan Lin shot back, annoyed.
Even though the opponent was strong, Evan wasn’t afraid. Even if his physical body was destroyed, he still had his Immortal Infant. The instant he was about to be wiped out, he could send his Immortal Infant into the Timewheel Bracelet, and eventually, he’d definitely be able to rebuild his body.
“You dare call me a rabid dog? You’re dead today!” Blazefire Immortal Lord roared, unleashing a suffocating pressure that nearly made Evan Lin unable to breathe.
“If you’re not a rabid dog, what are you? Do I have a grudge with you? Did I kill your father or steal your sister? You show up and want my life—do you really think I’m scared of you? Is everyone in the Martial Spirit Dominion just a blockhead who can’t tell right from wrong?” Evan Lin snapped back in anger.
So what if the enemy was late Immortal Lord Realm? Evan Lin wasn’t some coward—if worst came to worst, he’d die, but before that, he’d make sure to kill his opponent or at least leave him seriously wounded.
Blazefire Immortal Lord paused, as if something had just occurred to him. He looked Evan Lin up and down, then suddenly asked, “Are you the kid who killed the Lord of Coldriver City?”
“So what if I am? Looking for revenge? Show me what you’ve got—let’s see just how powerful a late Immortal Lord really is.”
Evan Lin spoke without a hint of fear, rapidly circulating Chaos Immortal Force inside his body, ready to unleash his Unicorn Arm attack at any moment.
The moment Blazefire Immortal Lord heard Evan Lin’s words, beads of sweat instantly broke out on his forehead. He’d been way too impulsive—he’d nearly caused a disaster. Thank goodness he hadn’t attacked, or his own life would be forfeit.
The Immortal Infant saw the sweat on Blazefire Immortal Lord’s face and was puzzled. “Blazefire Immortal Lord, what’s wrong? Why are you sweating—could it be he’s so strong that even you can’t beat him?”
Blazefire Immortal Lord glanced at the Immortal Infant and asked, “So you’re the one who fought him in Coldriver City?”
“That’s right. I rushed over after receiving the Lord of Coldriver City’s distress signal. I had no idea this kid would be so tough, and his methods are so strange—I still can’t believe he destroyed my physical body,” the Immortal Infant said, frustrated.
“You bastard! You nearly got me killed, you old fool—do you even know who he is?” Blazefire Immortal Lord’s aura flared, and he roared at the Immortal Infant.
The Immortal Infant was completely confused. “Who is he, Blazefire Immortal Lord? Is he your son or something? That can’t be—you’re not even married.”
“Good thing I didn’t act rashly today, or you really would have gotten me killed. You dared to hurt him—how could I possibly let you live?” Blazefire Immortal Lord snapped.
The sudden shift left both the Immortal Infant and Evan Lin baffled. The Immortal Infant was especially shocked. “Blazefire, what’s going on? I asked you to help deal with this kid, so why are you turning on me?”
“He’s someone the Dominion Lord personally wants to meet. If anything happens to him, my own life is forfeit! Damn it, you actually wanted me to kill him—are you trying to get me killed?” Blazefire Immortal Lord roared.
“I—I didn’t know! If I’d known he was the one the Dominion Lord was looking for, I wouldn’t have dared lay a finger on him no matter what!” The Immortal Infant panicked, realizing how terrifying Evan Lin’s identity truly was.
“Too late. Since you’re the one he wants dead, I can’t let you live. Killing you will be my gift to him—a way to apologize for my earlier attitude,” said Blazefire Immortal Lord.
“You can’t do this, you can’t do this!” the Immortal Infant cried out in terror, then immediately tried to flee into the distance.
“Trying to escape in front of me? Taste my spatial domain!” Blazefire Immortal Lord laughed. With a wave of his hand, the fleeing Immortal Infant was instantly frozen in place, unable to move.
Evan Lin just stood there, utterly bewildered. Everything happening before his eyes was far too bizarre—the situation had changed so fast, he could barely keep up…
