Xiao Chen nodded. "Then you can die!" As his voice fell, a sharp air blade flew out and immediately took Han Yu's life. Until he died, he still kept his eyes wide open.
Looking at the five bodies with eyes open on the ground, Xiao Chen took a deep breath. When did he become so clean and quick in killing people? Was it his hatred toward the Skygale Sect? Or he had run the Heaven's Talisman again and again, which eventually generated the Inner Demon?
He shook his head because he didn't have time to think about these problems at the moment. He took out the face-shifting item from his Divine Vessel he already prepared and turned himself into Han Yu's appearance. He then put on Han Yu's clothes, took the jade badge in Han Yu's arms, got rid of the five bodies, and went to Jing Province.
It's time now. The cultivators of all sects were heading for the Skygale Sect. What he needed to do now was to infiltrate the Skygale Sect and took the chance to rescue Murong Xian'er.
After about 20 miles of running, he came to a small forest. It was already dusk, and there was only a little light in the sky which could not go through the leaves. In the dim light, Xiao Chen saw several figures standing in the distance. They seemed to be arguing about something and then started fighting without too many words.
All of a sudden, a powerful aura came over as a large area of trees were shattered into dust by the Sword Qi. Xiao Chen was frightened and thought that the people had high cultivation. It was too late for him to run. Those people moved to him while fighting.
They moved incredibly fast like lightning flitting in the woods. Many trees fell along their path. Xiao Chen jumped onto a big tree. He tried to look carefully, but the light was dim, so he couldn't see them. He could only hear someone shouting, "Tianyun Zi, you don't deserve to be a cultivator since you have done such thing against reason and nature! We will not let you survive today!"
那人说罢,手上仙剑一挥,一道剑气横劈出去,立时又有大片树木倒下,一名白须老道当即横剑在胸,阻下这道剑气,只听他道:As his voice fell, with a wave of his Immortal's Sword, a row of Sword Qi dashed forth as a huge area of trees fell instantly. An old man with a white beard immediately placed his sword before the chest and blocked the Sword Qi. He then said, "Since you believe in rumors, it doesn't matter what I say now."
He then channeled his True Energy madly and swung his sword as a huge area of mud was sent flying. The sword radiance was about a dozen meters long, dazzling, and immediately shone the whole forest bright as day.
Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed. He immediately recognized the old man was Tianyun Zi who fought with Mu Chengxue before. He sighed that the old man's strength was extraordinary. One against four late Core Forming Realm experts, yet the old man was not in a disadvantage.
Just then, the four men also launched attacks together. A cold light flashed, and a row of sharp Sword Qi moved toward the tree Xiao Chen stayed on. When the tree was shattered, Xiao Chen immediately fell down. One of the four people thundered, "Who!"
Tianyun Zi also looked at him and shouted, "Han Yu, why are you here!?"
The man thundered again, "There's also a young one!" As his voice fell, he punched out. Instantly, the strong wind blew, and a huge golden handprint moved to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen was attacked as soon as he stood straight on the ground. This was the punch of a late Core Forming Realm expert. He did not run the Immolation Spell of the Three Elements at the moment, so he could not resist it at all. At this moment, something unexpected happened to him.
Tianyun Zi flashed, without considering the attack of the other three people, and rushed to the front of Xiao Chen. He then punched back. Two palm force collided, and there was a loud bang. The grass and trees around were shattered, and both of them took a few steps back.
Xiao Chen was horrified. If the old man came a second later, he would be dead or seriously injured. At this point, the other three men's palm force also arrived. Tianyun Zi's body shook with True Energy, and he punched back. But one could not fight four after all, he was hit in the chest, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Go!" Without further ado, Tianyun Zi took Xiao Chen and left. Although he was injured at the moment and was carrying another person, he was still walking like a flying bird and was already 300 meters away in the blink of an eye.
The four men behind were not slow either and caught up in an instant. Every few steps Tianyun Zi ran, he would spit out a mouthful of blood. It seemed that he was already injured before, and the blood was not completely caused by the previous palm.
Xiao Chen was now on tenterhooks. Just as the saying "when disaster strikes, everybody runs for himself." If Tianyun Zi dropped him off later, he would be killed in an instant. No, he must let the four men engage Tianyun Zi, and then he would take the chance to escape. After making up the plan, he uttered loudly, "Ah!"
Tianyun Zi's eyebrows furrowed. "What's the matter? Are you hurt?"
Xiao Chen pretended to be in pain and used True Qi to block his throat so that his voice became the same as Han Yu's. "I'm fine. Master, you don't have to worry..." He saw the four people were catching up, and he fiercely shouted, "Master, be careful!" Before his fell, he pushed Tianyun Zi fiercely and then rolled into the bushes.
This was exactly what he had already planned. If Tianyun Zi really cared about this disciple, Tianyun Zi would certainly come to save him. If Tianyun Zi did not come to save him, he would be slowed down a lot after being pushed by him.
As he expected, Tianyun Zi moved, trying to catch Xiao Chen. But before he reached Xiao Chen, the four people behind were rushing to him. Although Tianyun Zi was seriously injured at the moment, his peak Core Forming Realm cultivation meant something. He swung his sleeve back as an overwhelming force swept over. All woods and grass were turned into dust. The four people were caught off guard and were sent flying backward.
"Go!" With a roll of sleeve, he took Xiao Chen away. Tianyun Zi moved hundreds of meters in an instant. The night fell quietly, and it was dark all around. Crows were cheeping on the branches, which was good for him. In the cover of night, they quickly got rid of the four people.
He could not ride on a sword now because it would greatly expose his aura. Once they caught up with him, it would be extremely dangerous. After running for 40 or 50 miles, they went by a broken temple. Tianyun Zi stopped, put Xiao Chen on the ground, and spurted a mouthful of blood.
Xiao Chen hurriedly held him and pretended to ask, "Master, how are you?" Tianyun Zi wiped off the blood on the corner of his mouth and shook his head. "I'm fine. Let's talk inside."
The two men entered the ruined temple and closed the doors and windows. Tianyun Zi sat down on a futon, took some breath, and asked, "Han Yu, why are you here?"
He did not think much about this before because he was in danger. Now that he had been injured seriously and had enemies outside, it was even more impossible for him to think if this disciple was a fake.
Xiao Chen had already thought of his speech. "Some people ran out, the four elders sent disciples to arrest them. But we met some strong opponents on the way. Those junior brothers, they have..." Speaking of which, he pretended to look grief and sighed.
"Alas..." Tianyun Zi also sighed, and his face looked very bitter. He shook his head and said, "It's all because of my mistake in an instant..."
Xiao Chen was shocked. What mistake? Did he bring forth the resurrection of Patriarch Guanshan? However, the Skygale Sect might have planned this for hundreds of years. This should not be his idea. Xiao Chen asked, "Master, who hurt you before?"
Tianyun Zi shook his head and sighed. "Don't mention it!" A moment later, he said, "Tonight, I will run the cultivation method to recover my injuries. We will go back tomorrow when I recover. You guard the door. If you sense the aura of those people, you must let me know." He then closed his eyes and started to run cultivation method.
"Okay. Master, rest assured." Xiao Chen nodded and said.
More than two hours passed, and the four men did not come. Crows outside the house kept cheeping, and the cold wind was blowing. The dead trees and twigs nearby kept shaking and looked like dancing ghosts with sharp teeth.
Xiao Chen slowly turned around. The moonlight poured onto Tianyun Zi's face through broken doors and windows. He looked a little pale, and the skirt of his chest was stained with blood spots.
All of a sudden, a cold flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. He knew that at this moment, Tianyun Zi had entered a critical moment of running the cultivation method and could not sense the surroundings well. If Xiao Chen sent a palm at this moment, he would definitely be killed.
The murderous intent in him was growing as he walked to Tianyun Zi step by step. When he rose his hand and was about to slap the man on the head, he suddenly saw the blood this man's skirt.
This man was injured to save him. Was he really going to kill this man now? To tell the truth, it was Yunya Zi who owed him. Why had he become so murderous now?
"No, this man is the sect leader of the Skygale Sect. Back then, his junior brother, Tiangu Zi sent men to slaughter my Xiao family. I can never let this go!"
A cold light flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. When his palm was about to fall down, Tianyun Zi suddenly said, "Han Yu..."
Xiao Chen was frightened and instantly took a few steps back, asking, "Master? What's the matter?"
"Alas..." Tianyun Zi shook his head and sighed. "You have been my disciple for almost ten years, haven't you?"
Xiao Chen was shocked. "Did this man just sense my murderous intent?" If his strength had been restored, it's easy to kill Xiao Chen. "I have been taught by you for many years, and I dare not forget it all my life."
"Alas..." Tianyun Zi sighed and slowly opened his eyes. "A few days later, you and your Senior Brother Qian and Ouyang can leave the Skygale Sect."
Xiao Chen thought Han Yu's two senior brothers must be Qian Yeli and Ouyang Yu. Now he pretended to be shocked and asked, "Why?"
Tianyun Zi sighed. "Now, the Skygale Sect has become the target of the public. If those people know what we have done in the past hundred years, I'm afraid no sect would support us. A thousand years of inheritance will be destroyed after all..."
Xiao Chen sneered inwardly. "Now you know you should regret?" "It's too late!" "Everyone has to pay for what he has done. You Skygale Sect killed so many people, and you deserve this a long time ago."
Although he thought so, he said, "How is it possible? The Patriarch Guanshan will soon be resurrected. Then, they are nothing."
Tianyun Zi looked very bitter upon hearing this. He said after a long time, "It's a pity that 20 years ago, I made a mistake..."
Xiao Chen was thinking about the meaning of this. "Does it mean that Patriarch Guanshan cannot be resurrected at all? All they've done over the years is in vain?"
Thinking of here, he almost laughed. It would be great if Patriarch Guanshan could not be resurrected. If this old monster was really resurrected, who knew what degree of incredible cultivation he had?
