88 Just Because You’re An Elder (1/2)
”How did you notice him?”
The middle-aged man's expression turned sour. He could not believe that Mo Wen managed to find the hidden person. The person's cultivation level was beyond his. Of the Twelve Primary Meridians, he had opened up nine. If he could clear the other three, he would advance to the Sea of Qi realm.
He was also good at the arts of stealth. If he concealed himself, one would not notice him, even if they were thirty feet from him.
Now he was at least 160 feet from Mo Wen. How could he have noticed him still?
Mo Wen smirked condescendingly.
”I have eyes, you know – I'm not blind. If you would like to play hide and seek, find some kids to play with you then.”
He was always an expert in detection and tracking. Trying to play stealth with him was seeking death.
”Heroes are truly born young. It's such a pity that inflexibility makes things prone to breaking. You have offended someone who should not have been offended.”
A somewhat old sounding voice was heard, followed by a silhouette from afar that was approaching. The shadow covered tens of feet of distance in a few steps. His Qinggong wasn't bad. He was in a different league than the middle-aged man.
The person who appeared was an old man wearing a long robe. Very few people wore this kind of attire in the big cities, but some of the older generation or the more eccentric people liked to wear them.
”Young man, if you come with me to beg forgiveness from Young Master Su, then maybe I will spare your life. Otherwise…”
The old man's eyes narrowed, and he finished in an elderly tone, ”Otherwise, no one can save you from your approaching demise.”
”Just because you're an elder.”
Mo Wen's words carried an air of ridicule. He had yet to see an eccentric try to play the elder. Anyone could see in a glance that this old geezer was a stuck up, a dog that liked to lick at his master's stinky feet.
He was sixty to seventy years old, yet his cultivation level had only reached the Soothing Pulse realm. And still, he dared act as though he was a great elder. Back in the other world, when Mo Wen was thirteen, he was already a cultivist of the Sea of Qi realm.
”What did you say, you little brat?”
The old geezer's expression darkened. No one had ever been so rude straight to his face, and Mo Wen was a youngster. In the Su Clan, even Su Boyu would treat him politely. Yet here, an unknown brat dared to be so rude.
Enraged, the old geezer attacked immediately. Once he caught the brat, he would break his limbs, skin him, and tear out his tongue. After that, would he still dare to run a foul mouth?
”Since you want to push your luck, don't blame me for not holding back,” Mo Wen chuckled coldly.
His body leapt up; he reached him first, even though he reacted after. His silhouette suddenly appeared in front of the old man. Soundlessly, his palm landed on the geezer. Two bursts of Qi, one hot and one cold, erupted from his palm.
The old geezer had barely stepped forward and Mo Wen's silhouette had suddenly appeared before him. His pupils contracted. His speed was too fast, and the angle was bizarre. What technique was this?
Before he took up the mission, he had heard that Mo Wen was at the later stage of Regulated Breathing realm, but could defeat an ancient martial art practitioner at the beginning stage of Soothing Pulse realm. Although he knew he was no pushover, he didn't think too much of it. He was just an ancient martial art practitioner at the Regulated Breathing realm – what could possibly go wrong?
Also as a youth, what experience could he speak about? His martial arts training was probably also half-baked. With his decades of accumulated martial arts experiences, dealing with Mo Wen should be as easy as extending his hand. If he couldn't even handle a youth like him, he would be lower than a dog.
Before he left, he had guaranteed Su Boyu that he would bring back Mo Wen.
Yesterday after Su Boyu received a beating from him, he sought out some women at night to vent his resentment. However, he discovered that he could not have an erection. He was shocked and angered. Mo Wen must've pulled some kind of a stunt on him!
