Chapter - 69 Sailing Home After Ten Years In Qiongfa (4)

Only to hear Xie Xun let out another sigh, said, "I can't believe that at the time, I didn't even have the sense of a child. My heart was filled with revenge, and would not give up until I find my master. I knew one of us would end up either dead or seriously injured, but it didn't matter at the time. Once I regained my energy, the eleventh punch shot out. This time he stepped up sideways, and met my punch with his waist. His eyebrows rose up, as if in quite a bit of pain. I knew his reason for this. It would hurt me too much should he counter at the chest. But the force exerted by his waist is much smaller, but this way, the force he had to absorb increased a great deal too.

"I froze for a moment, said, 'Considering my master's terrible sins, why do you insist on helping him?' Reverend Kong Jian adjusted his breathing, said with a bitter smile, 'I just want to take two more punches from you, and resolve this issue.' At this moment, a thought suddenly came to me, 'Looks like he can't speak when using Diamond Armor Invincible Body. Why don't I trick him into talking, and punch him at that time?' So I said, 'If I do manage hurt you in thirteen punches, would my master really come out?' He said, 'He personally told me that…' Before he finished speaking, I immediately punched his waist. This punch came very fast, and toward a low point on his body, so he won't have time to raise his protective divine art.

"Who'd have thought that his protection raises by the will of the heart. When my punch landed, his protective armor had spread throughout his body. I felt my head spinning around, my organs splitting apart, and unwillingly retreated seven or eight steps. My retreat only stopped upon hitting a tree.

"At this moment of such utter defeat, my heart sank, said, 'I give up. Looks like there is no way for me to get my revenge now. So what is the need for me to remain in this world?' I raised my hand, aimed it on my forehead, about to push it down." Yin SuSu yelled, "What an ingenious idea!" Zhang CuiShan asked, "Why so?" but then instantly understood, and said, "But, to do this to such a venerable reverend, isn't that too cruel?" He also figured out that should Xie Xun tried to commit suicide, Kong Jian would obviously try to stop it. Xie Xun could take advantage of this, and attack right when Kong Jian is saving him. Zhang CuiShan's cleverness does not take a backseat to his wife. He just never thinks about devious things, and therefore takes longer to realize such things.

Xie Xun said sadly, "I was indeed using his kindness against him. You both guessed correctly. But it was a dangerous gambit. If this palm came down too slowly, he would see through the ruse, and refuse to help me. I had only one punch left. How could I possibly break his invincible armor? If so, then I would simply have to forget all about vengeance. At that moment, I really did use all my palm power. Had he not interfered, I would have killed myself. Of course, I wanted to die anyway should revenge no longer be a possibility.

"When Reverend Kong Jian saw my abnormal actions, he yelled, 'Hold on! There's no need to…' and flew toward me. His left hand reached out immediately to block my right palm. My left fist came out at the same moment. Pang! It hit him directly in the chest. He was indeed defenseless at the moment. I doubt he even gave applying the armor a passing thought. How could he possibly withstand my punch like this? Immediately his inner organs crumbled, and he fell down onto the ground.

"After this punch, upon realization of his certain death, I suddenly found my conscience. I came to his side and began crying, yelled, 'Reverend Kong Jian, I am such an ungrateful ingrate. I don't deserve to be human!'"

Zhang CuiShan and his family sighed. They all felt that he was terribly wrong to kill the reverend in such a despicable manner.

Xie Xun said, "When Reverend Kong Jian saw me cry, he smiled, and try to calm me down, 'Who on this world does not die? Why are you so sad? Your master will soon come. Try to compose yourself.' With his reminder, I realized that I must prepare for my enemy instead of agonizing. So I immediately started to mediate, to recover my strength. Yet after a long time, my master still did not come. Surprised, I looked at Reverend Kong Jian.

"With what little life he had left, Reverend Kong Jian said, 'I… I cannot believe that he… he failed to keep his promise… could someone have… have blocked his path?' I yelled angrily, 'You tricked me. You tricked me into killing you, for my master still haven't came out to see me.' He shook his head, said, 'I did not trick you, but I have wronged you.' In my rage, I wanted to keep yelling at him. But then I thought, 'Why would he want to trick me into killing him? Plus, in response to killing him, he only tried to apologize.' Feeling incredibly ashamed, I kneeled in front of him and said, 'Reverend, if you have any wishes, I will carry them out for you.' He smiled slightly, said, 'Hopefully, whenever you wish to kill someone, please remember me.'

"This reverend not only have unparalleled martial arts ability, but also great wisdom. He knew that I would not give up on revenge, and therefore did not bother to request it. He only wanted me think of him when I wish to kill. Fifth brother. Remember when we matched palms on the boat? The reason I didn't kill you was because I remembered Reverend Kong Jian."

Zhang CuiShan never imagined that Reverend Kong Jian saved his life. His respect for this reverend grew even more.

Xie Xun sighed again, said, "His heartbeat became slower and slower. I put my palm on his 'Ling Ti Pressure Point', began infusing my inner power to extend his life. He suddenly took a deep breath, and asked, 'Is your master still not here?' I said, 'No.' He said, 'Then he is not going to come.' I said, 'Reverend. Be assured that I will never again kill anyone to make him appear. But even if I have to walk to the end of the world, I will find him.' He said, 'But, you are no match for him. Unless… unless…' At this point, his words became too soft to hear. I put my ear by his mouth, only to hear him say, 'Unless you can find the Dragon Saber, and find… find the secret inside…' At this moment, he stopped his breathing, and died."

Finally, Zhang and Yin knew why Xie Xun tried so hard to find the secret inside the saber. Why he's normally very courteous, but occasionally gets mad like a wild animal. Why he has such incredible kung fu, yet spends his days in sadness…

Xie Xun said, "Later, I found out the location of the Dragon Saber, and went to Wang Pan Island to take it. Fifth sister, your father was one of my dearest friends. We were the renowned Eagle King and Lion King. Later we became enemies, but that story is long and involves too many other people. I can't tell you about them. Before I took the saber, my only wish was to find my master. Yet after obtaining the saber, my only fear was that my master might find me. That's why I had to find a deserted island, so I safely find the saber's secret. Afraid that you might reveal my secret, I had to take you along. Who'd have thought that ten years would pass in the blink of an eye, and I have yet to accomplish a single thing!"
