The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2268 Hesitation

This black shadow is naturally Wu Kun.

His figure was like a ball of thick ink, appearing particularly strange in the dim light of the stone chamber.

Wu Kun's existence is like an indelible shadow, always lingering around Matthew.

Before this, Matthew and the old man Ziding had teamed up to seal Wu Kun up in order to prevent him from making some uncontrollable small movements at critical moments.

The seal was like an invisible shackle, suppressing Wu Kun's power and preventing him from interfering with Matthew's body.

However, as Wukun once predicted, the power of the seal is not eternal.

Matthew's dantian is now shattered and he is seriously injured. His magic power is almost exhausted. The old man Zi Ding has fallen into a deep sleep in order to help Matthew make elixirs.

The power of both men was no longer enough to keep the seal intact, so Wu Kun's seal was quietly broken.

At this moment, Wu Kun was like a beast that had escaped from a cage and finally gained the long-lost freedom.

For Wu Kun, the situation before him was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Matthew's body was extremely weak and his consciousness fell into a deep coma, and the old man Zi Ding could no longer intervene in his affairs.

Wu Kun knew that at this moment no one could stop him from taking over Matthew's body.

His figure slowly condensed in the stone chamber, and finally revealed a vague human outline.

His eyes fell on Matthew, and there was a greed and desire in his eyes that was difficult to conceal.

Wu Kun has an almost obsessive desire for Matthew's body.

Although he had reached an agreement with the old man Zi Ding, and the other party promised to find him a replacement body that was no less inferior to Matthew's body, Wu Kun was still unable to completely let go of his obsession with Matthew's body.

Matthew's body is not only gifted with extraordinary talents, but also contains great potential. For Wu Kun, this is undoubtedly the perfect object to possess.

On weekdays, Matthew was in good health, and with the close surveillance of the old man Ziding, the obsession in Wu Kun's heart was suppressed to the point of almost disappearing.

However, Matthew's weakness and the slumber of the old man Ziding at this moment made Wu Kun's obsession grow like mushrooms after rain, and he could no longer suppress it.

Wu Kun's eyes wandered over Matthew's body, as if he was admiring a perfect work of art.

His heart was filled with greed and desire, and he wished he could immediately take Matthew's body for himself.

However, despite his extreme desire to take over another body, he still retained a trace of rationality deep in his heart.

This trace of rationality was like a faint voice, constantly reminding him that everything before him might not be as simple as it seemed.

Wu Kun is not a reckless person. He always acts cautiously, especially when faced with such an important decision, he dare not be careless at all.

He knew that neither Matthew nor the old man Ziding were easy to deal with. Even if they seemed defenseless at the moment, there might be some kind of trap hidden.

Wu Kun's heart was full of vigilance. He did not dare to act rashly, for fear that once he started to take over the body, he would fall into a carefully designed trap.

Wu Kun slowly floated around Matthew's body, and the black figure was looming in the stone chamber.

His eyes never left Matthew, but he was constantly weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

He was thinking, what risks might he face if he started to take over another person's body at this moment?

Did the old man Zi Ding really fall into a deep sleep, or did he deliberately set a trap to lure him into it?

Is there some unknown power hidden in Matthew's body that is enough to counter him at the critical moment?

These questions were like a tangled mess, entangled in Wu Kun's mind, making it difficult for him to make a decision easily.

Wu Kun knew very well that taking over another's body was not an easy task.

Even though Matthew's body was extremely weak, he could not guarantee that the process of taking over another's body would be smooth sailing.

Matthew's willpower was so strong that even in a coma, he might have instinctively resisted his invasion.

In addition, the golden light in Matthew's body also made Wu Kun feel uneasy.

Although the golden light was faint, it contained a sacred and powerful power, as if it was guarding Matthew's last bit of life.

Wu Kun was not sure whether this force would pose a threat to him at the critical moment.

Wu Kun's thoughts were like a complex web, constantly extending and interweaving.

He was weighing the pros and cons of taking over another body, trying to find the most reliable solution.

He knew that if he acted rashly, he might end up in an irretrievable situation.

However, if he missed this opportunity, he might never find such a perfect target to possess again.

Wu Kun's heart is full of contradictions and struggles. His greed and reason are constantly fighting, trying to find a balance.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Wu Kun's figure was still floating slowly in the stone chamber.

His eyes were sometimes greedy, sometimes alert, as if he was playing a silent game.

He kept deducing various possible outcomes in his mind, trying to find the safest option.

He knew that he had to act carefully and not ruin everything because of a momentary impulse.

However, Wu Kun's patience is ultimately limited.

As time went by, greed gradually took over his heart.

His eyes fell on Matthew again, and the desire in his eyes became stronger.

He knew that he couldn't hesitate any longer.

No matter how many risks lie ahead, he must try it once.

After all, this was the opportunity he had been waiting for for countless years, and he could not give up easily.

Wu Kun's figure slowly approached Matthew, and the black aura was like a poisonous snake, slowly wrapping around Matthew's body.

There was a gleam of determination in his eyes, as if he had made some kind of decision.

However, just as he was about to start taking over the body, the air in the stone chamber suddenly became heavy.

The beads embedded in the wall suddenly lit up, emitting a dazzling light, as if warning Wu Kun not to act rashly.

Wu Kun's figure suddenly paused, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

A sense of vigilance rose in his heart again, as if reminding him that all this might not be as simple as he imagined.

Wu Kun slowly retreated, his eyes still fixed on Matthew, but he was constantly thinking about his next move.

He knew that he had to be more cautious and not ruin everything because of momentary greed.

While Wu Kun was hesitating, a rapidly flashing golden light suddenly appeared on Matthew's empty abdomen.

Wu Kun kept his eyes fixed on Matthew's body, and saw every time the golden light flashed.

"Nine times...what exactly was that golden light? Could it be that this kid had some adventure when I was sealed? But no matter how powerful the things in the human world are, they can't give me such a thrilling feeling. What on earth is hidden in his body?" Wu Kun floated above Matthew's body, touching his chin with his hand and whispering softly.
