Night of the Broken Gliph

At the same time, Mung Si felt a frightening wave coming from her back. It was filled with a strong metallic blood intent like an armoured horse charging out of an enemy’s encirclement!

Boom! 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqTAwWFvkv 維尼

Blood red light blinded them as Chui Yim’s tightly shut eyes shot open! 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrkbWvHV60 維尼

Chor Huet Zhin was indeed recognized as the most powerful four-chambered glipher in the world. The imprint he left was actually so powerful! However, Chui Yim had totally exhausted the imprint. Even so, Chui Yim didn’t feel even the slightest regret as he would have been sucked dry by the Heaven’s Flame if he didn’t.

But there wasn’t much time for him left. 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPm3gOEq48 維尼

Even with Chor Huet Zhin’s imprint, there wasn’t much time left before he was paralysed. 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5C7U3DC3u 維尼

Therefore, he reached for the pouch on his waist once his eyes opened. The pouch was torn due to his violent movement as a thin ray of light appeared. 8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKy9R6JLch 維尼

Somewhere else in the world. 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOI7T6M9vD 維尼

A place where unimaginable high temperatures radiated all over and solidified, which painted the space in the bright, fuming colour of fire. This was a world of flame. 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNOSb7gfAE 維尼

A striking white wisp stood out amidst the red in the middle.

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcdY4BBFy8 維尼

Getting closer revealed that the white wisps were actually an attractive man in white with crescent moon eyes, a pretty smile and smooth dark hair that reached his waist. With the scholar’s hat that covered his forehead, he looked like an actual scholar. 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYiF5tfEUc 維尼

There were invisible movements around the scholar that fanned the burning hot temperature far away from him, keeping him free from the unbearable heat. 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9CFUB8F8w 維尼

He looked up at the skies with a helpless smile. “I say, how long are you going to keep me here?” 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡpySyqe7xUs 維尼

“Hmph!” A voice boomed out, shaking the ground. It was hard to believe that a huff was what caused the minor earthquake. The scholar was the sole item in the space that wasn’t even slightly affected. 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQVBJyvOvR 維尼

“Do you think I’ll let you off so easily, Chui Tin?” 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eKDlFSlwL 維尼

There was a muscular figure hanging in the air. Shirtless, his well-defined abs could be clearly seen. However, this healthy and built body belonged to an old man, the wrinkles on his face symbolising the decades he had survived. 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzFruoDfU4 維尼

The pretty boy scholar was none other than Chui Tin. “It’s already been months. How much longer are you going to keep me here?” 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9D68JIO5B 維尼

Chui Tin flashed the old man a bitter smile only to receive a glare in return. “Until you tell me everything!” 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOI1devtkq 維尼

Chui Tin smiled bitterly and said nothing else. Already expecting silence, the elderly sat crossed-legged in the air. “Since that’s the case, let’s waste each other’s time. I’ve already lived more than half of my life, and I have tons of time to waste with you! This is my territory, and you won’t be able to escape.” 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZn09bFvz7 維尼

Chui Yim sighed and shook his head like he was deeply troubled. But it didn’t take him long before he was smiling again. 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90liFLFgFG 維尼

“That soon?” He said as he bowed to the elderly man in the air. “Forgive me for my rudeness, but I have an emergency that I must attend to. I’ll be back soon!”

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqb9Q1YfFh 維尼

“Huh?” The elderly man scowled while wondering if Chui Tin had lost his mind after being locked up for so long. 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡli9Zj6MVi2 維尼

Just then, Chui Tin flipped open his hands as his strong energliph surged. Hundreds of gliph strings appeared at the same time and wrapped Chui Tin up. This alarmed the old man, who yelled at him angrily. “Don’t even try!” 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNY27e9YgA 維尼

Boom! 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEcwvokUpy 維尼

The elderly man didn’t move, but his yell caused the surrounding red light to congeal into a huge sea of fire and surge towards Chui Tin’s gliph formation like a swarm of bees! 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKXq1MJZNa 維尼

Whoosh…

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f3gb79sHi 維尼

Nothing was left where the sea of fire touched, and Chui Tin was nowhere to be found. 8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJdmQOI8Pf 維尼

Chui Yim immediately fainted once the pouch lit up. 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡytT0XYMN5N 維尼

The thin ray of light, a single talisman to be exact, had flown out of the pouch. 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3RFwfI8xF 維尼

The talisman was a paper with a gliph engraved on it, like the paper with the Recorder Gliph, which Chui Yim found in the first pouch. The ability to engrave energliph on ordinary paper was already astonishing, and the current scene was enough to shock anybody as the gliph on the paper wasn’t the low-class Recorder gliph but the mighty teleportation gliph formation. 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1E03AykOx 維尼

The ability to compress a field-sized gliph formation into a palm-sized talisman…

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJYD64zWg3 維尼

The talisman shattered and congealed into a ray of light. At this instant, Mung Si and the other gliphers fainted, while Cheuk Kwun and Woo Nim were left frowning. 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDkSiuhq0v 維尼

“What’s the matter?” Woo Nim asked solemnly. 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcz3RMkHA9 維尼

‘I don’t know. The marks I left on Chui Yim and Mung Si have been covered.” Cheuk Kwun shook his head. 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXmoKHr4ei 維尼

“I’ll go take a look.” 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYVqUNCFcX 維尼

“Hold up. Let me observe first.” Cheuk Kwun pulled her back and started muttering something with his eyes shut. He moved his focus near where he last felt Mung Si and Chui Yim, but no matter what he tried, he felt an invisible screen block him, not allowing his mental vision to enter. 8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SwKKR2Fix 維尼

Chui Tin’s feet landed on the dried leaves that crackled at his arrival. 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3FthmBAA6 維尼

With a glance, he could identify that this was the Forbidden Forest. But his eyes didn’t stop on Mung Si or the glipher as he focused on Chui Yim immediately. 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZIF2WJhnK 維尼

“Eh?” He walked up and felt Chui Yim’s pulse. Even though he could tell with just a glance, he was still shocked when he felt Chui Yim’s pulse. “This kid…” 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡBetfduEMJJ 維尼

He was speechless for a moment before shaking his head. “Ah, so what we thought was danger was in fact his greatest opportunity…Is having us as his parents not lucky enough?” Chui Tin mumbled shamelessly. 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4s38M2ERM 維尼

Chui Tin waved his snowy white feminine hands, and Chui Yim’s vest shattered immediately. The place where his heart was, was now bright red, beating as he breathed. More than a thousand gliphs flashed through Chui Tin’s mind when he saw this. 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY2QnmlCFt 維尼

He had an answer the next instant. He didn’t even blink as tons of gliph strings took form in the air in front of Chui Yim. The gliph seemed simple, and it didn’t look like it needed thousands of gliph strings to form. 

8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmK5P3D2G1 維尼

It was the simple Blazing Sun gliph. 8964 copyright protection55ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXYmNFXKr1 維尼
