Upon hearing that, Zhuge Xiong arched up an eyebrow, the expression on his face sinister as he stared at the man. “You dare to defy my orders?”
When the man saw that, his body quivered like a leaf and his forehead seemed to gimmer with a sheen of cold sweat.
Zhuge Xiong became more infuriated hearing the man’s reply. To think that his Hunters Guild had such a timid and cowardly fella! An absolute disgrace! So many people from the various powers are all here watching and if this fella really doesn’t make his way up there, wouldn’t he lose face completely before them?
When that thought came to mind, Zhuge Xiong’s face grew grim and he shouted coldly: “If you do not get that sorry behind up there this instant, I will kill you right this moment!”
“Don’t be so rash. We’re just getting someone to go test it out a bit, and not to send them to their death. Who will dare to go if you say it like that?”
Qing Tian Lin said with a laugh as he held back the furious Zhuge Xiong, and then turned to look at the ashen faced man who was looking wrought with terror, to say with a gentle smile: “You do not have to worry about a thing. I will teach you how you can do it, which will definitely keep you alive.”
The man was a little dazed as he looked at that gentle and handsome countenance, one who made people feel was extremely friendly and highly affable. He seemed to have suddenly forgotten his fear as he nodded his head as if possessed. “Alright.”
He was then seen going slowly towards the glass stairs.
Zhuge Xiong’s eyes widened in surprise and then it then suddenly seemed to dawn upon him, his face immediately showing a contemptuous smile.
Qing Tian Lin watched the man raise his foot to tread onto the first step and his thin lips parted slightly as he coaxed: “Go up to the second step.”
It looked as if the man was a puppet on strings as his foot raised up very highly before it landed on the second step of the stairs. He then stood dazedly on the step, foolishly waiting for the next command.”
It was just as he thought. Qing Tian Lin had used his Puppetry on his subordinate. Otherwise, how could the man’s expression possibly remain so calm, suddenly agreeing to court his own death so readily?
Zhuge Xiong could not help but sigh inwardly when that thought came into his mind, feeling that this man here was really becoming more and more unfathomable, his cultivation of his Puppetry technique having reached unimaginable levels. Fortunately for him, they were not on opposing sides.
“Now, take another couple of steps up, keep your feet steady and do not stop in between.” Qing Tian Lin said in a soft voice.
Immediately after hearing that, everyone saw the man standing on the steps whose movements had been stiff and awkward earlier suddenly become highly agile, clearing two steps on the stairs at a time, his feet taking him about six steps up.
However, just as he raised his foot to take another step, something seemed to fly very rapidly through the air, and before anyone could see what it was that struck, their ears immediately heard a heavy dull thud.
