However, the freezing beams passed through the masked man's body as though his body was an illusion. They didn't have any effect.
"It's useless. Your strength is too weak. You don't have the right to touch me." The masked man watched as Lance's fist and body passed through his body. He stood on the spot and continued, "If it wasn't for the fact that this body is too old, you wouldn't even have the right to see me."
As he spoke, the masked man's gaze focused. Lance, Gaiman, and company immediately returned to their stunned states, unable to move.
"On account of Frod's good work, I'll forgive your rudeness this time, but don't do it again." After the masked man said that, Lance and company immediately regained their freedom.
"This is your deal with our family. If you want my body, take mine. Don't implicate others," Lance said.
"Lance …" Gaiman wanted to pull Lance away, but Lance dodged him.
"Are you really willing to let me take your body? Do you know that although your body can continue living, your consciousness will be completely wiped away? I don't need your consciousness, "the masked man asked Lance with interest.
"I'll settle my own matters. I don't need anyone to replace me. It won't be that easy for you to occupy my body," Lance said calmly.
"From the looks of it, humans these days seem to have more backbone than before. Unfortunately, I've already changed my mind. I want his body. Your body is no longer useful to me. I won't change my decision. It's up to you to leave or stay, but his body is mine, "the masked man said to Zhou Wen.
"Sorry, I didn't know things would turn out like this," Lance said to Zhou Wen.
"It's fine. It's not your fault." Zhou Wen shook his head slightly.
He was already used to the feeling of falling into a scheme. If a person didn't have any wealth, even if he appeared in front of a bad person, the bad person wouldn't scheme against him because there was nothing to gain from it.
However, if a person had huge treasures, no matter how far away they hid, someone would still target them. As the saying went, a man's wealth would land him in trouble. This was probably the principle.
As Zhou Wen's abilities became stronger, no matter how much he restrained himself, there would be people targeting him. This was inevitable.
Of course, Zhou Wen could accept it, but it didn't mean he would forgive Frod.
"Since my life should have been left here, I will still stay here. Even if I really go to hell, I won't be lonely," Lance said.
"I don't care if you want to go to hell, but I haven't lived enough. I still want to live for a few more years." As Zhou Wen spoke, his figure suddenly vanished. He used teleportation and headed for the garden's exit.
However, Zhou Wen soon realized that the door to the garden had vanished. There was nothing outside the garden with no way out.
"Only those with my permission can leave this place," the masked man said with a smile.
"Then, can I leave this place after killing you?" Zhou Wen asked directly.
The masked man laughed. "Of course, if you can kill me, you can also leave this place. Unfortunately, even the most powerful human is nothing more than an ant in front of me."
"How do you know it won't work if you don't try?" Zhou Wen continued drawing his Bamboo Blade.
"I'll fight with you." Lance leaned over and said.
"Alright, I'll attack from the top while you attack from the bottom," Zhou Wen said.
"Okay." Lance immediately rushed over.
Zhou Wen was behind him, but he struck the back of Lance's head, knocking him out.
"Take him back. Don't be a hindrance here." Zhou Wen hugged Lance and threw him at Gaiman.
Gaiman hurriedly caught Lance and looked at Zhou Wen with a complicated expression. "Our family has let you down. I never expected you … Feel free to tell me if you have any wishes. As long as I can do it, I'll definitely help you complete them."
Gaiman didn't know, but if such a matter had happened to anyone else, it was impossible for them to be as carefree as Zhou Wen. He was even thinking of Lance and wanted to send him out.
"Don't thank me. I'm a person who distinguishes between gratitude and grudges. This matter has nothing to do with Lance. He doesn't need to die with me, but go back and tell Frod that I'll definitely take back what he owes me," Zhou Wen said.
Gaiman didn't say anything else. He only bowed deeply at Zhou Wen before leaving the garden with Lance.
From his point of view, it was impossible for Zhou Wen to leave alive. In front of the god-like invincible masked man, they didn't even have the ability to resist. Only death awaited them.
I wonder if Demonic Neonate is the masked man's match? However, with things having come to this, I can only give it a try. However, it shouldn't be a big problem. I can't even see Demonic Neonate's Terror form, but I can at least see this masked man. Zhou Wen closed his eyes, preventing his gaze from coming into contact with the mask. He hoped to prevent his body from being immobilized.
"It's useless to close your eyes. The influence of this mask isn't targeted at your eyes, but your soul," the masked man said to Zhou Wen with interest.
He looked at Zhou Wen as though he was looking at a new car or a house. He was filled with curiosity, but he didn't treat Zhou Wen as a person.
"Can I ask you a few questions?" Zhou Wen didn't open his eyes as he said after some thought.
"On account that you are about to contribute your body to me, I can try my best to answer you." The masked man wasn't in a rush to attack as though he was waiting for something.
"You participated in the previous Battle of Guardians, so can you tell me what the Guardians are looking for?" Zhou Wen wanted to take the opportunity to probe into some secrets.
There were so many powerful lifeforms in the dimension that wanted something from Earth, but up to now, Zhou Wen still didn't know what they wanted.
"If you were to ask the other Guardians this question, I'm afraid none of them would know even if you asked 99 of them. However, since you asked me, you've asked the right question. I'm the only Guardian among the hundred who knows." The masked man's answer delighted Zhou Wen.
"What is it?" Zhou Wen pressed.
"I don't know what it is," the masked man answered.
The corners of Zhou Wen's eyes twitched as he had the urge to slap him to death.
The masked man seemed to appreciate Zhou Wen's expression as he said with a faint smile, "Of course I don't know. This is because even the big shots of the dimensional races don't know what they are looking for. However, there's a clue. Not many Guardians know this clue, and I'm one of them."
"What clue?" Zhou Wen pressed.
"Companion Beast, the most powerful Companion Beast," the masked man said.
