What Is It Like To Be Summoned As A Giant - Chapter 35

Chapter 35: Powerful Sword Sage

Because Tang Lin had mastered the beginner level of the Ice Heart Mantra, he became much more sensitive to the tremors of the ground. At this moment, although the tremors coming from behind him were weak, they gave him an unusual feeling. Ordinary tremors progressively spread and weakened, but at this moment, the tremors coming from behind him did not weaken. Even though they were weak, they were shockingly stable.

Tang Lin turned around and saw a person walk over slowly from the collapsed gate of the World Association. He was a tiny person who looked no different from Xiong Ba and the others, but his hair and beard were all white. Even when facing a giant like him, he didn’t show any surprise, as if nothing in the world could move him.

Tang Lin was very grateful that the system function had strengthened him in all aspects. Otherwise, it would be really difficult for him to see what this tiny person looked like from such a distance, let alone the micro expressions on his face. His current vision allowed him to almost see the legs of mosquitoes from ten meters away.

Seeing the appearance of this old man, Tang Lin knew that he had been tricked by Dugu Yifang. In The Storm Riders, only the Sword Sage could look like this. If Dugu Yifang had asked the Sword Sage for help, he would’ve told him in advance. Now that the Sword Sage had appeared, it must be Dugu Yifang who wanted to kill him.

Facing the menacing Sword Sage, Tang Lin made a very simple choice — flee!

What a joke. The Sword Sage’s Time-stopping sword technique was impenetrable. If not for a silly girl poking the distracted Sword Sage with her finger, Xiong Ba would long have been pierced through the waist and turned into ashes. Tang Lin had not transmigrated to any world where he obtained the ability to censor or to freeze frame, he had no way to resist the abnormal effect of Time Stop.

Therefore, he decided to flee and escape from the Sword Sage range of attack. Only then would he have a chance to survive.

To Tang Lin, there were no terrain restrictions in this world. With one step, he crossed the mountains and seas. In two steps, Tang Lin jumped out of the square and stepped on the Number One Tower. The grand building that was several stories high instantly collapsed and became Tang Lin’s stepping stone, allowing him to jump directly onto the cliff behind the Number One Tower.

This mountain was probably three to four hundred meters tall. Tang Lin had relied on the ability of the Earth Child to quickly scale it.

The Sword Sage was a little stunned when he saw Tang Lin run away so decisively. This was the legendary Kua Fu giant? How could he be so… cowardly?

Kua Fu was someone who dared to chase after the sun. His ambition remained unwavering to the end, even when he died of thirst. The sun was so frightened it only rose and set henceforth, and didn’t dare to bully mortals any further. This giant claimed to be Kua Fu’s descendant. How could he have fled so decisively?

“Could it be that he didn’t know my intentions and was going to chase after Xiong Ba?” Sword Sage rationalized to himself.

Sword Sage came a little late. It wasn’t the time for him to appear. Dugu Yifang had sent him a message that the situation had changed, so he hurried over. Hence, Sword Sage didn’t know where Xiong Ba ran to and only thought that Tang Lin was chasing after him.

“Sigh, old people cannot count on their physical strength.” The Sword Sage sighed and used his Qinghong technique to give chase.

Although he had already lived in seclusion, he naturally still had a bond with Wushuang City. When Dugu Yifang asked him to assist, saying that he could obtain hundreds of Blood Bodhi elixirs and make Wushuang City prosper for generations. The Sword Sage couldn’t refuse, so he agreed to get involved.

The Blood Bodhi elixir was in Tang Lin’s hands. Even if Xiong Ba escaped, Sword Sage would kill Tang Lin first.

Tang Lin didn’t even need to turn around to know that the Sword Sage was catching up with him, he could feel it through the vibrations on the ground. This old man wouldn’t stop until he killed him.

Tang Lin couldn’t care less. After climbing up the mountain, he continued to run. He didn’t need to spend much effort to sprint on the ground, but if the Sword Sage wanted to catch up, he had to consume his true qi. If the Sword Sage’s speed was a little slower, Tang Lin was confident that he could exhaust him to death.

However, the Sword Sage was still the number one expert in the world at this moment. His Qinggong technique was much stronger than Xiong Ba’s, who hadn’t mastered the Three Forces in Yuan Qi technique. The Sword Sage was already in front of Tang Lin after he had barely run two miles.

It was clearly just a tiny person the size of a bug, but Tang Lin felt like there was an additional wall in front of him. He didn’t dare to step over the Sword Sage’s head.

This was the aura of a top-notch martial art pugilist. It was completely unaffected by his size.

“System, can I return now?” Tang Lin asked.

“You have been locked onto by your soul and you are in a special state now. Unable to leave. Please apply to return after removing this state.” The emotionless system gave Tang Lin an emotionless reply.

F*ck, even Apocalypse isn’t as impressive and awesome as you. Sword Sage, are you an Omega-level mutant?!

Tang Lin knew that there was no way out now. He gritted his teeth and said to Ororo, who was hiding in his chest pocket, “Continue charging! Electrocute this old man later!”

He found it inconceivable, even if it were a stab from the Primordial Spirit Sword, he would still be electrocuted to death. In mythical legends, even the gods were afraid of thunder. This was also the only way for Tang Lin to counter the Sword Sage’s Twenty-Three Swords of Heaven and Earth Destruction.

He could only hope that when the old man’s Primordial Spirit left his body, he would be electrocuted to death before he could stab him with the sword.

The Sword Sage didn’t know what Tang Lin was thinking. He was also a man of few words. Even if Wushuang City had deceived Tang Lin this time, he’d have no qualms. He waved the long sword in his hand, and a sharp sword qi slashed towards Tang Lin.

For a tiny person the size of a bug, the sword qi quickly expanded to become larger than Tang Lin’s palm and slashed towards his knee.

These despicable people loved to aim at his knees.

Tang Lin did not dodge. His knee was not a vital point. He still had the Earth Child skill to recover, so he was not afraid of being injured. He took the sword qi head on and a gash appeared on his knee. Tang Lin endured the pain and sprayed pepper spray at the Sword Sage.

The mist dissipated, and the highly corrosive cloud enveloped the Sword Sage.

The Sword Sage was not at all bothered by this. The long sword in his hand turned into countless lights and shadows, and he demonstrated a special Water Repelling technique for Tang Lin.

Blocking pepper spray with a sword! This really amazed Tang Lin.

The Sword Sage broke through the toxic fog and rose from the ground. His entire body transformed into a sharp sword and stabbed at Tang Lin’s… thigh.

There was nothing he could do. He was already pushing his limits by leaping so high at one go. He was mastering martial arts, not immortal arts, so he couldn’t do Sword Kinesis Flight for the time being.

Tang Lin was prepared to take this attack head on, but the electric current on his body was already full again. He didn’t believe that the Sword Sage could still withstand this electric current attack.

While Tang Lin was caught by surprise, Sword Sage’s sword actually changed trajectory midway. Instead of piercing Tang Lin’s thigh, it fell to the ground again.

This was the intuition of the number one expert in the world towards danger. His instinct told himself that he would suffer a huge loss if he stabbed Tang Lin.

“Damn, he’s so cautious. Don’t tell me he saw Xiong Ba being sent flying by me?” Tang Lin started to worry. If this Lightning Reflection technique was being seen through by the Sword Sage, then when he used the Twenty-Three Swords of Heaven and Earth Destruction, he would definitely be on guard. Tang Lin was bound to be killed.

“Don’t panic. Think about what else we can do. I, Tang Lin, will definitely not die here!”

At this critical moment, Tang Lin began to chant the Ice Heart Mantra silently and forced himself to calm down.

The Sword Sage only felt that the aura of the giant in front of him had suddenly changed. He actually had the aura of a martial arts practitioner. However, this change did not make the Sword Sage afraid. He slashed the sword at Tang Lin again. This time, he aimed higher and was actually going for the vital part between Tang Lin’s legs.

It was not that the Sword Sage was a despicable person, but because the sword qi had reached its limit when it attacked this position. Only this position could be considered a vital point.

When the sword qi come toward him, and when Tang Lin was about to be turned into a eunuch by this sword, he suddenly opened his eyes and actually put his fingers together like a knife to slash at the sword qi.
