Chapter 2442: Strange old man, terrifying strength!
“City Lord!!”
Wen Bing knelt on the ground, facing the castle door that had not yet been opened, his eyes full of respect, and at the same time lowered his head, expressing his absolute loyalty.
Seeing his action, Ling Tian raised his eyebrows and looked at the castle gate curiously. His left hand unconsciously touched the Blood Sword, ready to fight at any time.
He really didn't know how powerful the so-called city lord was, nor did he know whether Wen Bing's claim that he had no ill intentions was true or not.
But Ling Tian knew that the mayor of Jincheng asked him to come for so-called cooperation, which was obviously not a small matter.
Otherwise, why would the target of this cooperation be myself?
For example, when I was in Weicheng, the families that cooperated with me were all the top three families. They all had strength that was at least higher than that of the others. Only then would they come into my sight and make me willing to cooperate.
If they were too weak, they would definitely retreat when facing a behemoth like the Wang family, so Ling Tiancai chose carefully.
And the Lord of Jincheng must have made himself a partner for this reason.
If he doesn't cooperate with me, he obviously has no other choice.
Otherwise, why would Wen Bing travel thousands of miles to find me and bring me here?
So Ling Tian didn’t know what the city lord’s cooperation was all about, nor did he know whether he would take action against him.
Therefore, he was extremely alert at this time. Although his perception ability was almost non-existent, he still tried hard to perceive, just to prevent himself from facing danger.
Time passes little by little.
Almost five minutes had passed since Wen Bing knelt down.
However, the gate of the castle was still tightly closed. Not only were there no monsters, but not even a human figure appeared.
Even so, Wen Bing continued to kneel on the ground, his eyes full of respect, without a trace of distracting thoughts, with his head lowered, waiting for the city lord to appear.
Finally, after about ten minutes, there was a sound from the castle gate, and the gate began to slowly open.
When Wen Bing heard the sound of the door opening, his body trembled noticeably, sweat broke out on his forehead, and his whole body seemed to be trembling slightly with fear.
Seeing his reaction, and the same reaction from the other monsters, Ling Tian's curiosity reached its limit, making him stare at the castle gate, unwilling to look away.
When the castle gate was completely opened, a figure appeared at the castle gate.
The other person was wearing a white robe, had a full beard, and had silver-white hair tied together. He gave off the feeling of the sect leader or elders in the movies.
The old man walked out slowly, but when he slowly turned his head and looked at Ling Tian with his red pupils, the latter felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
At this moment, fear slowly crept up into Ling Tian's heart, causing his expression to change uncontrollably.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he felt as if his heart was being held by someone, causing his heartbeat to speed up. At the same time, there seemed to be a slight blockage in his throat, making it impossible for him to breathe normally.
oppression……
Oppression from the strong.
Ling Tian had not expected that the feeling of oppression from the strong would become concrete at this moment, making Ling Tian feel unprecedented fear and terror.
The old man just glanced at him and then looked away. The strange feeling disappeared instantly, making Ling Tian suddenly feel that breathing was such a comfortable thing.
At a glance!
Just one glance!
Just because the old man looked at him, Ling Tian was able to confirm that the old man in front of him was stronger than himself, and was several levels higher, and gave people the feeling that he could kill him instantly.
No wonder!
Ling Tian has always wondered why Wen Bing is so confident.
Only when he saw the old man did Ling Tian realize that if this person appeared, he would definitely not be able to withstand a single blow.
While Ling Tian was thinking, the old man looked at Wen Bing and said softly, "Wen Bing, well done. You completed the task perfectly. I am very satisfied."
The old man's voice sounded very gentle, but that weak voice was like a heavy hammer, hitting Ling Tian's eardrum hard.
At the same time, Ling Tian slowly looked at Wen Bing beside him and found that his ears had begun to bleed and his body was shaking uncontrollably. However, he bit his lip and slowly lowered his head and said, "This is all to satisfy the City Lord. As long as the City Lord is satisfied, I am willing to do anything!"
Hearing this, the old man nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, so you are the deputy city lord of our Jincheng, but unfortunately... you are a little late, and Ling Tian's appearance here is not because you brought him here, right?"
Hearing the old man's question, Wen Bing lowered his head even deeper and said hurriedly: "City Lord! I invited him originally, but he refused. He was too cautious. He is right next to me. You can definitely ask him. He..."
puff!
Before Wen Bing could finish his words, his expression suddenly changed and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
After vomiting, Wen Bing's hands were shaking as he supported himself on the ground, obviously in great pain.
Even so, Wen Bing still looked respectful, without any dissatisfaction. He also ignored his injuries and continued to kneel.
His terrifying reaction surprised Ling Tian a little.
Just one sound!
The old man hadn't taken any action since he appeared, but whether it was the terrible sense of oppression Ling Tian felt or Wen Bing becoming what he is now, all of this was caused by some unintentional little actions of the old man.
But it was these little movements that seemed to put Wen Bing on the brink of death, as if she would faint or die at any time.
terrible!
This is Ling Tian’s evaluation of the old man.
Being able to possess such terrifying strength, it seems that the old man in front of him has strength at a level that he has never encountered before.
Thinking of this, Ling Tian slowly took his hands back from the Jade Blood Sword and placed them naturally on both sides.
reason?
Of course it’s because I don’t want to die too early.
He still has many unfinished goals. If he dies here because of a reckless act, it will not be worth it.
Of course, the most important reason was that Ling Tian knew that the person in front of him was too powerful and too terrifying, and he had no room to fight back.
Even if he relied on the Jade Blood Sword and the so-called terrifying martial arts, he would still be defeated in the end.
It would be better to listen to what the old man in front of you says about cooperation first, and then consider other countermeasures.
Just as Ling Tian was thinking, Wen Bing was almost unable to hold on.
During the whole process, the old man did not move, just looked at Wen Bing, but the latter kept vomiting blood and his body was shaking more violently.
At this moment, the old man withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked into the castle, saying: "You... come in, and you... Ling Tian!"
