Chapter - 55 A Raft Drifting In the Vast Beiming Sea (7)

Zhang CuiShan and Yin SuSu's health became worse and worse, but Xie Xun seemed to be quite well. Each day, he would point to the sky and curse continuously at Heaven.

One day, while Zhang CuiShan's sleeping, he suddenly heard Yin SuSu screaming in his dream, "Let go of me, let go of me." Zhang CuiShan immediately woke up, only to see Xie Xun holding Yin SuSu's shoulders, his expression that of a wild animal. Zhang CuiShan had been worrying about Xie Xun's expressions lately, but never thought he'd try to hurt Yin SuSu. He said in a hurry, "Let go of her!"

Xie Xun said threateningly, "You bastard. You killed my wife. Fine, I'll kill your wife today, leaving you to live alone in this world." As he spoke his left hand began to choke Yin SuSu's throat. Yin SuSu let out an 'Ah' in response.

Zhang CuiShan said in shock, "I'm not your enemy. I didn't kill your wife. Elder Xie, please regain consciousness. I am Zhang CuiShan, not your enemy."

Xie Xun froze for a moment, yelled, "Who is this? Is she your wife?" Zhang CuiShan, seeing Xie Xun choking Yin SuSu, hastily said, "She's Miss Yin, Elder Xie. Not your enemy's wife."

Xie Xun yelled madly, "Who cares? My wife was killed, my mother was killed, I'm going to kill all the women in the world!" As he spoke, his grip tightened, so Yin SuSu couldn't even let out a sound.

Zhang CuiShan realized that Xie Xun was mad, and couldn't be reasoned with. So he quickly gathered his energy, and shot out his palm towards Xie Xun's back. Xie Xun met the palm with his own. With the slippery surface, Zhang CuiShan fell onto the ground. Xie Xun's right foot came up, about to kick him on the waist. Zhang CuiShan quickly tapped the ground with his hand, and sprung his body back up. Xie Xun then took back his foot, and instead, his right palm came at Zhang CuiShan's forehead.

Yin SuSu turned around, and attacked with her left hand, aimed at Xie Xun's head. Xie Xun ignored her and concentrated on Zhang CuiShan. Zhang CuiShan matched his palm, only to find himself unable to gather up much chi from his body. As Yin SuSu hit Xie Xun on the forehead, she felt something very hard hitting her hand, and retracted her palm in pain. Xie Xun turned to look at her, his eyes bright red, as if there's fire burning within them. He tightened his grasp even more.

Just at this moment, light shined from the north side, many different strands of light, very suddenly in the darkness. First came purple lights, each strand darker and longer than the previous. Within the purple light carried golden light, blue light, green light, and red light. Xie Xun, in his surprise, gasped, and put down Yin SuSu. Zhang CuiShan felt that the force coming from Xie Xun gradually dissipated.

Xie Xun, with his hand behind his back, walked towards the light, and simply stared at it. Of course, the light they're seeing right now is the aurora borealis. But no one in China at that time had seen it.

CuiShan held Yin SuSu closely, their hearts beating rapidly.

Xie Xun, for the rest of the night, did not move, simply stared at the light. When daytime came, he regained his consciousness, and started to converse normally.

Zhang CuiShan and Yin SuSu both thought, "No wonder he's so sad. His parents and wife were all killed. Wonder who the killer was?" Afraid that Xie Xun might go crazy again, they did not broach the subject with him.

Many days passed by, when Xie Xun started to act abnormally again with his curses, and his eyes turned red. Although they never talked about it, both Zhang CuiShan and Yin SuSu were careful to guard against another attack.

One day, when the sun did not set at its usual time, Xie Xun yelled, "Damn it! Even the sun is trying to piss me off now. If I had a bow and arrow, I'd shoot you down this instant!" Suddenly he grabbed a piece of ice and threw it towards the sun. After traveling about sixty meters, the ice dropped into the water. Zhang CuiShan and Yin SuSu thought, "Wow, what arm strength. I probably can't even throw half as far."

Xie Xun threw one piece of ice after another, until he threw about seventy pieces. He found that no matter how many he threw, the son still remained too far for him to hit.

Yin SuSu said, "Elder Xie, perhaps you should rest a while. Ignore the sun."

Xie Xun looked back at her, staring into her eyes. Yin SuSu was terrified, but forced a smile. Xie Xun suddenly screamed, jumped up and quickly grabbed her, yelling, "Choke you to death! Choke you to death! Why did you kill my mother, why kill my son?" Yin SuSu felt like an iron hoop gagged around her neck, and this hoop became tighter and tighter.

Zhang CuiShan tried to pry Xie Xun's arm off of Yin SuSu, but could hardly move it. Seeing Yin SuSu about to die, Zhang CuiShan's attacked Xie Xun, hitting the 'Shen Dao Point' on Xie Xun's back. His fist felt like hitting a solid rock, while Xie Xun continued his grip on Yin SuSu. Zhang CuiShan yelled, "If you don't let go, I'm going to use weapons." When he saw Xie Xun ignoring him, Zhang CuiShan took out his Judge's Brush and pointed at Xie Xun's 'Xiao Hai Point' on his arm. Xie Xun retracted his right hand from Yin SuSu, and grabbed the brush with it, then threw the brush into the sea.

Feeling the grip loosening, Yin SuSu quickly spun out of his hold. Xie Xun's left hand reached for Zhang CuiShan's head, while his right hand tried to grab Yin SuSu's shoulder, tearing off a piece of Yin SuSu's seal coat. Zhang CuiShan knew that if he simply dodged Xie Xun's attacks, Yin SuSu would be caught. So instead of running away, he attacked Xie Xun, using the Soft Palm's 'Carefree Flying Flower'. Strangely, when his palm met Xie Xun's, he felt like being pulled in, unable to get free.

After controlling Zhang CuiShan, Xie Xun dragged him along while chasing Yin SuSu. Yin SuSu jumped away, but before she could get back to the ground, Xie Xun stomped on the ice with his foot, and several ice pellets flew out, all hitting her on the right leg. Yin SuSu let out a scream and fell down.

Xie Xun then sent out a huge force towards Zhang CuiShan, pushing him backward, flying. This push was so strong Zhang CuiShan landed by the edge of the iceberg. With a slip as he tried to regain his footing, Zhang CuiShan fell off the edge, into the sea.
