Chapter 272 Wait and Watch

My sword was but only an inch away from the Taoist priest's chest. But it could go no further; an invisible force was gripping at my wrist, preventing me from going any further. I tugged at my arm, indicating my intent to yield and the invisible force that held me vanished. I looked back, searching for the source of the voice and saw a little boy, dressed in traditional Taoist garb, emerging from within the midst of the frozen crowd. The unusually placid look he gave when our eyes locked told me enough that this was no ordinary boy, for his gaze was as deep and unfathomable as the deepest waters of a quiet lake.
