Chapter 208 - The wife vs The mom Part5

To begin his ardent ritual of cultivation, Luther closed his eyes and centered his mind, slipping into the familiar meditative state within seconds.

Wisps of energy, concentrated by the spiritual qi gathering array around the house, floated around him, ready to enter his body and merge into him at any moment.

But suddenly…

Arghhhh!! A loud shriek echoed!

Both Su Lin and Luther's eyes flashed open and they turned around to see Ella standing at their bedroom door shaking and convulsing in a sort of anguish.

John as well was standing right behind her with an equally flabbergasted expression.

"The devil!" Ella screamed.

A white misty substance covered her body as she trembled and took a couple of steps back.

Both Luther and Su Lin hurried over to the elders, confused as to what was going on.

Aren't they also cultivators?? So why are they having this strange reaction?

"Ahhhhh… My poor son…"

"Why?? Why did you do this to him??" Ella grabbed Su Lin with her bloodshot eyes and yelled at her from the bottom of her throat.

She had a maddened craze in her eyes that looked particularly scary.

"You said that you loved him very much!! So why did you sacrifice him to the devil??"

Of course, when in trouble, the blame always falls on the daughter-in-law, and Luther's mom was no exception.

She directly ȧssumed that Su Lin was responsible for this state of her son, and in reality, her ȧssumption was spot on.

Seeing his mother's nails clawing into Su Lin's arms, Luther snapped out of his stupor.

He immediately pulled Su Lin behind him and placed himself between her and his mother.

"Mom. STOP IT! You are hurting her." He yelled using the full power of his cultivation base.

Visible electric currents surged through his body and a layer of currents circled around Su Lin, forming a defensive energy barrier around her.

From the looks of it, Luther's skill in this technique was already quite high.

The strength of this single defensive barrier alone was surprisingly enough to even deal with attacks from higher foundation realm cultivators like Su Lin.

But on watching Luther exhibit his cultivation prowess, Ella only got further enraged.

She stepped forward and took a huge breath of air and the energy mist around her strengthened as well, now appearing in the shape of a gigantic bear.

The bear roared terrifyingly standing on its hind legs, with its spirit body entwined with Ella's mortal body.

John realized that a battle is about to break out between the mother and the son and he hastily tried to step in and stop Ella.

"Ella, come on. Let's talk about things first. I am sure they have a reason."

But she seemed completely out of it.

"Son, this evil witch has corrupted you. You cannot go down the devil's path. Let me crush your meridians and try to save you. Come here."

"Ella, stop it." John shouted. By now, an energy mist covered his body as well, as he unleashed his cultivation base.

Suddenly, the energy in the house became chaotic and dangerous.

By this time, even Runyan, Squirrel, Monkey and Rabbit had sensed this abnormal disturbance and atmosphere and immediately hurried over to the Shi Manor.

With their cultivation cores at the third stage, it didn't take a lot of time for them to rush over, covering the few miles in few seconds.

In one leap, the five of them surrounded Su Lin, protecting her from any possible danger or unexpected attacks.

"What is happening Master?" Squirrel screamed through the wildly swirling energy storm in the house.

"Take me away from here." Su Lin commanded, her eyes ferociously glaring at the elders.

For now, she had to leave the place in order to protect the little bun.

She knew that if she stayed back, even if a scratch falls on her beloved, she wouldn't be able to stop herself from risking the life of the unborn innocent child to protect her husband.

So it was best that she distanced herself from the fight.

His eyes also still fixated on his so-called parents standing in front of him.

Squirrel lifted up Su Lin the next instant and leaped out of the upstairs bedroom.

Runyan and Monkey followed him, with the trio covering several miles and distancing themselves away from the fight.

Rabbit stayed back along with Luther to provide him backup.

With him standing next to Luther, the two groups were now equally matched in strength.

Both Ella and John gasped loudly at these sudden unbelievable changes transpiring in front of them.

Their eyes filled with disbelief and frustration, at the sight of these powerful beings.

Not only was their son following the devil's path, but he also had other companions? This was blasphemy!!

How could they ever save their son from something like this??

Now that Su Lin was out of harm's way, Luther confidently stepped forward, his leg quaking with power.

This was his first fight as a cultivator. His first challenge and it was with this long lost parents!

A sad smile surfaced on his lips.

Luther couldn't understand what was happening. His mother was perfectly fine just a few seconds ago. Why was she behaving like this now??

Weren't they also cultivators just like him??

Then how did he alone become the devil??

Luther loudly shouted again with power surging through his body.

"It would be in everyone's best interest to talk about this first."

But Ella was already too far gone to respond rationally to him. A mother suffers the most when her child is in danger.

Maybe because of that, she was tormented with an unfathomable pain that her son was already as good as dead.

Along with her elegant figure, the bear spirit enshrouding her also took the battle stance and matched her movements as its arms as well simultaneously lunged at Luther.

Next to her John as well, threw his arms forward, along with the wolf spirit enshrouding him.

A powerful wave of crushing energy approached Luther and Rabbit, as the duo prepared their defense for the incoming attack.
