"Seeking death!" In an instant, as this roar broke out, the old man's aura changed drastically. The strong coercion carrier seemed to have the death energy that penetrated his soul and crashed into Li Yan arrogantly!
With a muffled groan of "Heng", Li Yan felt as if the air around him had turned into glue, oppressing his body and crowding his mouth and nose, making his blood surge and making it difficult to breathe! The veins in his neck were exposed and his cheeks were bulging and red.
Although he had felt the powerful aura emitted by the old man when he was angry when he was injured and lying on the stone bed before, it was just the old man's purposeless venting until this moment when this powerful pressure came over and enveloped him. At that time, the feeling of being choked by death was so terrifying and despairing. Counting all the previous experiences, only the encounter with the Chimera in the Dusk Forest was comparable.
Without even moving a hand, he had already suppressed himself to the point where he was almost unable to resist. The power of the magister was actually so powerful!
The eyes of this strange old man flashed sharply at this time. He was angry and had a strong anger caused by anxiety after being rejected. His shoulders shrugged, and the air flow that was violently inhaled and exhaled scraped through the throat under the pressure of the ups and downs of the chest, making a sound of pulling the broken bellows. Also like neighing.
Immediately afterwards, the old man suddenly raised his hand, raised his elbow and retracted his right hand behind his back. As we all know, when fighting, the purpose of shrinking one's hands is to punch better, so even if he is already in a situation where he is severely oppressed by a strong momentum and has difficulty breathing, Li Yan can clearly feel the violent turmoil of the surrounding magical elements, The magic network also seemed to twist and form a whirlpool, and the center of it all was that skinny palm!
"Crack, click," a crisp sound of bones being pressed and rubbed came out, and the whole right hand was like a crossbow with a bowstring tightened! The palm of his hand was the unique "arrow", and with a "whoosh" sound, the weapon was violently knocked out by a gust of wind.
At this time, there was clearly a distance of three meters between the two people. Even if the old man straightened his right hand, he was unable to break through this distance. However, in an instant, Li Yan felt an invisible truck hitting him head-on due to the induction of his mental power. Come! "Woo!" Before he could react, the air in his lungs was compressed by a huge force, and he let out a short groan and flew out instantly.
"boom"! The impact was so loud it felt like the walls were shaking. Suddenly, his internal organs were displaced and his whole body fell apart. Li Yan felt dizzy, every nerve in his body was trembling, and twitching was sending extremely urgent signals. His chest and abdomen were even gasping for air under the impact. It is impossible to have extravagant hopes and groans.
"Mage's Hand!" The "Mage's Hand" has the prototype of "absolute control"!
Amid the neighing sound, the five fingers of the old man's extended right hand bent together and turned into a grasping palm. At the same time, Li Yan's body was immediately held by invisible hands and pressed against the wall, then turned to the left. Leaning against the wall and standing still in mid-air more than one meter above the ground, the gray robe also had dents and folds that were obviously unnaturally squeezed.
"Ant, believe it or not, I will crush you to death?!" Staring at Li Yan, the old man let out a low and hoarse hiss. His stern eyes and the gloomy look on his face twisted in rage made him look like a ghost.
Hanging in the air, the blood gushing violently and vibrating overflowed and drooped down the left corner of his mouth. Li Yan's eyes were slightly closed and his face was expressionless. His hair was messy and he looked quite miserable.
But no one could see that under the cover of this seemingly miserable face, Li Yan's thoughts and emotions were sneering with extremely determined rebuttal: Since you are not a madman, and since you saved me, then you will never Will kill me easily!
Li Yan¡¯s guess was correct. Normally, this old man was thoughtful and calm, and he was not a moody person. However, due to various reasons, this powerful old man turned into the dying skeleton like he is now, causing a drastic change in his temperament. He himself also understood that the situation had become quite bad. He rescued Li Yan in a desperate situation because he was asking for help from Li Yan. This urgency even made him hesitate to use dream potion and take out the Tears of Aphrodite!
It was also because of this urgency that he could maintain a trace of reason under such rage. Otherwise, that extremely powerful blow from the air would never have been louder than thunder and light raindrops, and it would have only knocked Li Yan to paralysis. The fact that there is no living thing other than plants within a few kilometers of the tower is proof of the consequences!
However, Li Yan was not stupid enough to reveal his true thoughts. He took a few breaths of air quickly and conveyed his words in a low but clear voice: "Of course I believe it, but even if I believe it, I can't accept your so-called gift. Although that allows me to quickly master a large amount of magic circle engraving knowledge and experience. Because I know that those things are not mine after all. Once I accept it, I will never have my own style in the magic circle subject in the future, and I will always have to follow Your steps cannot break through.
This also means that I can only?The disadvantages of drawing magic circles and magic patterns that are not in line with my own characteristics, laying out magic circles, and making magic scrolls that greatly reduce the power and sensitivity are enough to ruin my future in the subject of magic circles, and even Affects my magical practice. "
Embarrassment and annoyance welled up in his heart. The old man tightened his right hand, bent his neck and gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! Now your life is in my hands, you know? Ant, you have no choice!"
The invisible big hand tightened as the old man tightened his grip, like a python coil tightening around his body. The huge pain caused by the squeezing made Li Yan's face turn red.
"Haha" In this kind of torment, Li Yan smiled instead. This was a disdainful smile. His chest was squeezed and he could only inhale very little air, which made the laughter intermittent. The bloodshed added a bit of ferocity to the laughter.
Something was abnormal. Faced with this obviously weird smile, even though the old man's anger had not subsided, he couldn't help but let go slightly: "What are you laughing at?"
"Ahem" After a few rapid coughs caused by his lungs being locked, Li Yan took a few more breaths of air greedily, looked at the old man and said, "I remembered a story from my hometown: That was a An ordinary old fisherman who lost his family in his old age lived on the Endless Coast. He didn't catch a fish for eighty-four days in a row and almost starved to death. However, he still refused to admit defeat and was even full of fighting spirit.
Finally, on the 85th day, he caught a big fish with a length of 6 meters and a weight equivalent to nine adults. The big fish dragged the boat toward the sea, but the old man still held on. Even though there was no water, no food, no weapons, no assistants, and his left hand was cramped, he was not discouraged at all. After two days and two nights, he finally killed the big fish and tied it to the side of the boat, but many piranhas immediately came to snatch his trophy.
He killed them one by one, and in the end even only a broken tiller was left as a weapon. He still shouted his belief and refused to give up.
As a result, the big fish still couldn¡¯t escape the fate of being eaten up. In the end, the old man could only drag back a pair of fish bones exhausted. "
¡°What a boring story!¡±
"Haha, the story is not important. What is important is the belief shouted by the fisherman: people are not born to be defeated. You can destroy me, but you will never defeat me!" Looking at the concentrated old man, Li Yan twitched the corner of his mouth, " This is what I want to say to you. Even if I don't accept your choice now and lose my life, you can't defeat me! And you have also lost a choice."
Still frozen in place, after listening to Li Yan's words quietly, the old man said: "I have to say, Ant, you are very smart and you have convinced me. Now, tell me what you think, but don't use my rare kindness If you treat it as a concession, you will regret it, very regret it."
Slightly relieved, Li Yan said softly: "I can feel that you don't really want to harm me. As you said, I am just an ant, and harming me will not do you any good. .So the purpose of you doing this, just like what you said at the beginning, is just to improve my magic circle engraving ability. As for the reason, I don¡¯t understand it yet and it¡¯s not important. And of course I am very interested in simply improving the magic circle engraving ability. willing.
¡°This way we have something in common, maybe you can try to teach me the real magic circle engraving. When I meet your requirements, I will be more willing to work for you, and I will be able to work more perfectly. "
"Hey, are you insulting the wisdom of a magister?" The old man sneered, "Who can guarantee when you will meet my requirements? I don't have that much time for you to waste! Maybe I should let you try the underworld. The smell of fire." As he finished speaking, blue flames spurted out from the palm of his left hand.
Ignoring the beating flames, Li Yan looked into the old man's eyes and said in a deep voice: "You can set some short-term tests, such as checking my learning progress every short period of time. If it does not meet your requirements, you can consider it again. It¡¯s not too late to instill experience. Of course, this test must be fair. I believe that since you are sure that I can meet your requirements after I accept experience instillation, then I am also sure that I can meet your requirements without accepting experience infusion!"
The old man lowered his head slightly, his eyes reflecting blue flames. After a long time, he finally raised his head and said, "I hope you can cherish this opportunity, you confident ant. If you fail to pass the postgraduate entrance examination, you will either accept my proposal, or I will extract your soul and fall into eternal torture. There is no third way, and there is absolutely no way." There will be another chance!¡±
After saying these words in a hoarse, dead white voice as if swearing an oath, the seemingly skinny but powerful right hand finally withdrew.
Li Yan lost his body and finally fell to the ground. He slowly stood up with his left hand supporting the body that had not fallen. Looking at the back of the old man who staggered around, his eyes filled with unyielding anger: "Thank you, now it's time." It's time for me to make a request, hopeI hope you can make compensation for your behavior just now! "
