The painting was soon brightened by the blood-red light.
As the ambiance gradually changed, Darren and Hobson immediately felt the bleak coldness. Thus, they turned back and looked at the wall.
To their dire amazement, on the wall, the red-haired figure moved. It was so horrible that the character seemed to walk out of the painting.
At the sight of it, both Darren and Hobson were shocked. From their point of view, all the figures painted in the wall were powerful enough to shake the world. More than that, the red-haired creature was actually going to come out of the picture. How could it not scare them?
There were ripples like water waving on the wall. Gradually, a twisted face stood out from it and stared at Darren and Hobson. By the look of it, the figure struggled nonstop, and after a moment, he actually jumped out of the wall.
After the loud thud from his fall, the figure stood up and straightened himself.
"Oh! Shit, it hurts!" he complained while holding on to his behind.
Throughout these episodes of events, both Darren and Hobson were in a daze and had their eyes fixed on the figure from the wall.
Judging from the way he appeared, the figure was an old man wearing a cotton cloth whose face was covered with stubbles. What amazed them the most was, though he appeared to be old, he was only one foot tall.
"Sir? May we know who you are?" Darren asked, lowering his head to have a closer look at the one-foot man.
"Well, good that you know that you should call me sir! It's you who took the two rule formulas of the immortals out, right?" he asked without answering Darren's question. As he accused Darren, the minute elder stroked his beard and curled his lips. Then with lucid and judging eyes, he stared at Darren suspiciously.
Hearing his question, Darren was stunned for a while and then refused, saying, "No, I only keep the two rule formulas in my mind and never took them away."
"Humph, you didn't take them? Are you sure? Please go and take another look," reckoned the old man.
With that, he waved his hand, and with that wave, both Darren and Hobson appeared in front of the first portrait.
'What a skilled master the old man is! He is so adept at employing the space rule!' Darren thought to himself after he had been transported by the old man to the first portrait.
While he faced with the portrait, Darren used his silvery eyes to look deeper into the painting again. Consequently, he saw that the painting was totally in chaos, with nothing else in it, even no rule silk threads.
"What's going on? I only remember the rule formulas." Darren was confused by what was set before his very eyes.
