Abyss Walker

Chapter 15 Outsmarting Talion

Yun Muhan then realized what was happening and quickly pulled Xi Ling away. "Run! This guy is a Ringwraith, and the most troublesome Ringwraith at that, proficient in all weapons."

Xi Ling was terrified when she saw the Ringwraith, but she didn't choose to run away. "No, I want to stay with my husband! We can definitely defeat him!"

Yun Muhan's movements were swift and decisive. His figure was like a bolt of lightning, and his move "Dragon Flying and Phoenix Dancing" smashed towards the Ringwraith with a sound of tearing through the air.

This move, true to its name, possesses both the might of a dragon and the agility of a phoenix, and its power is immense, enough to shake mountains and rivers.

The Ringwraith did not flinch in the face of this fierce attack; his eyes revealed determination and composure.

The sword in his hand seemed to be one with him, its blade emitting a faint light. His movements were concise and powerful as he met Yun Muhan's attack head-on.

The sword and the attack collided with a deafening roar, the air churned and the surrounding air trembled.

In the midst of the fierce battle between the Ringwraiths, Yun Muhan suddenly put away the Qiankun Painting Brush, a move as fast as lightning, catching everyone off guard.

His figure blurred, and he, carrying Xi Ling, leaped into the nearby black hole like a streak of light.

The black hole was like a gaping maw, swallowing all light and matter. Yun Muhan and Xi Ling's figures disappeared the moment they entered the black hole.

After blocking the attack, the Ringwraith immediately noticed the disappearance of Yun Muhan and Xi Ling.

With his keen senses, he quickly turned around and, without the slightest hesitation, jumped into the black hole.

Its form flashed across the edge of the black hole and was then swallowed by the darkness, as if it had never existed.

As Yun Muhan's aura disappeared, the power of the dragon soul also dissipated. The once majestic dragon shadow gradually became transparent in the air, eventually turning into a wisp of smoke and vanishing with the wind.

—Inside the Black Hole—

"My lord, what is a Ringwraith?"

“His target is me. He’ll be coming in soon. I’ll hold him off, and you run away immediately.”

Yun Muhan's voice was low and urgent, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, revealing an undeniable determination.

His eyes shone with determination; despite facing unknown dangers, he remained calm and rational.

Yun Muhan's words were filled with determination to protect his lover; even in the face of death, he was unwilling to let Xi Ling suffer the slightest harm.

"No, even if I die, I want to die with my husband." Xi Ling's voice trembled slightly, but it was filled with determination and unyielding spirit.

Her eyes were filled with deep affection and dependence on Yun Muhan, and her words were simple and direct, expressing her loyalty and love for Yun Muhan.

Even when faced with death, she chose to fight alongside her lover, never abandoning him.

Before Yun Muhan could finish speaking, the Ringwraith appeared before them like a black lightning bolt.

His arrival was accompanied by a powerful pressure, like a mountain pressing down on you, making it hard to breathe.

Xi Ling's body trembled slightly under the pressure of the Ringwraith. Her eyes were filled with fear and unease. Finally, under the immense pressure, her body went limp and she fainted.

"Hand it over."

The Ringwraith was tall and imposing, his armor gleaming with a cold metallic sheen in the dim light. His outstretched hand resembled a claw from hell, and his deep, hoarse voice was like a call from the depths of hell, sending chills down one's spine.

Yun Muhan held Xi Ling tightly as she returned to her original form, his eyes filled with worry and anger.

Xi Ling's true form is a beautiful little fox with soft and smooth fur. Her body is curled up in Yun Muhan's arms, looking so fragile and helpless.

Yun Muhan's gaze was firm and sharp. He stared directly into the Ringwraith's pitch-black eyes, as if he were staring into a black hole.

Although his heart was filled with fear, his will was as hard as steel. He knew he could not back down; he had to protect Xi Ling, even in the face of the most powerful enemy.

"Talion, you're still up to no good! You want the Qiankun Painting Brush to help you restore your physical body."

Talion's helmet wobbled slightly before he asked, puzzled, "You know me?"

"Even if I give you the Qiankun Painting Brush, you'll still kill me, right? How about we make a deal?"

"You seem to have no idea what your situation is. In my eyes, you are nothing but an ant. But I am very interested in you, this ant. Not only do you know me, but you also carry her scent with you."

Yun Muhan: Talion isn't well-known in the Three Realms now, because everyone who saw him is dead. Although I'm from a later era, I don't know much about him either.

This Tarion later became a subordinate of the God of Destruction, and also served as the spirit of the Qiankun Painting Brush. But how exactly can he be taken back into the Qiankun Brush?

“Talion, I not only know you, but I also know that you have a particular fondness for sitting on wolves.”

Talion tapped his helmet with his sword, seemingly unable to believe what he was hearing, especially since Yun Muhan was right. "Who are you? How do you know all this?"

Yun Muhan didn't answer his question, but instead asked directly, "How about we make a deal? As long as you release us, I'll tell you everything you want to know."

Talion slowly raised the One Ring in his hand, glanced at it, and said, "No, although you have a dragon soul, once I kill you, I can directly steal your memories."

"Oh? Are you sure?"

Yun Muhan continued, "Talion, you've spent a lot of time trying to obtain the Qiankun Painting Brush, but have you really considered that the Qiankun Painting Brush might just be a trap? As a spirit, can you really take away your own physical body?"

Talion was stunned, but quickly regained his composure. "What deal?"

“I told you, let us go, and then I will find you a master! Someone that the Qiankun Painting Brush can approve of.”

If the Qiankun Painting Brush can gain the approval of others, then Tarion can freely enter and exit the Qiankun Brush, and its master can also summon it to fight for it.

"If I release you, what if you can't find them?"

Yun Muhan laughed loudly, "Talion, you're really senile. Why don't you just enter the Qiankun Painting Brush right now?"

But Talion was clearly not stupid. "How would I know if you intend to seal me away directly? Besides, even if you did let me into your main body, so what? My main body is in your hands. Going in would be the same as being controlled by you."

"Hahaha, I love you just the way you are, you're so smart. But! You know I carry her scent! I am her person, you can't possibly not know what kind of person she is, can you?"

Yun Muhan's back was completely soaked: What "her"? He didn't know her at all! But he had no choice but to use it now, hoping there wasn't any deep-seated hatred between them!

Talion nodded slightly: "I agree. You are under her control and will certainly not harm me."
