Chapter 228 - Years Old, Sword Master Haki (1/2)
A plop sounded out as Daoya Old Man fell into the seawater, causing the others to look back.
The little black snake called out, “Where’s that bad old man?”
Zhou Xuanji pointed downwards as he said, “He fell in.”
Seeing his reaction, he evidently did not have any intentions of going down and rescue him.
“What are you waiting for?” Jiang Xue asked, perplexed. At that moment, Ah Big descended and used his claws to fish up Daoya Old Man.
Ah Big tossed him onto the sand, and the others crowded around him.
Daoya Old Man was curled up like a prawn, his limbs trembling and the whites of his eyes were showing as he muttered, “Nightmare… Nightmare…”
Chongming Demon Monarch went up and kicked his bottom as he asked, “Are you pretending?”
Zhou Xuanji kicked the old bull’s bottom and cursed out, “Show some respect.”
After kicking Chongming Demon Monarch away, Zhou Xuanji walked behind Daoya Old Man.
“Hurry up and get up, old man,” Zhou Xuanji said as he frowned. After saying this, he took out the Holy Light Redemption Sword and poked Daoya Old Man’s bottom.
Seeing this, the others stared with wide eyes.
Even though they knew that the Holy Light Redemption Sword had special abilities, poking there…
Daoya Old Man’s body spasmed and his eyes closed. When he reopened them, they were back to normal.
His limbs no longer trembled and Zhou Xuanji quickly withdrew his sword, looking calm.
After Daoya Old Man regained his senses, he subconsciously touched his bottom.
“You hit your bottom on some rocks when you fell down; hurry up and tell us what you prophesied,” Zhou Xuanji hurriedly asked. In the past when Daoya Old Man had done divination he had once coughed up blood, but had never been in such a wretched state before.
Could it be that rainbow light was not simple, and really was some kind of otherworldly object?
In the Northern Wilderness, there were many stories about immortals descending.
Most immortals had been beaten down and their cultivations could not be compared to before. Despite this, they could still sweep across the human world.
Daoya Old Man stood up and said in a low voice, “When I prophesied that otherworldly object, I saw a person. He was standing on a mountain of corpses and it looked like the 10,000 miles around him were all corpses. They were heaped to 100 feet tall, and I saw Xuanhe, Xian Xianghua, the Huangquan Drake King, Ta Tianchen, Yang Di’s corpses, and even all of you… except Xuanji.”
Hearing this, everyone’s hairs stood on their ends.
Beixiao Wangjian hurriedly asked, “Who killed us?”
With Daoya Old Man’s prowess in divination, he was right almost all the time.
Jiang Xue, Xiao Jinghong, Zhao Congjian, Huang Lianxin, Han Shenbo, Chongming Demon Monarch, and the little black snake felt incredibly anxious.
Zhou Xuanji frowned, but he did not believe in fate.
“I’m not sure. I haven’t seen him before. I could only see that he was standing on a mountain of corpses, and that he had white hair and an incredibly savage expression…” Daoya Old Man sighed, his face incredibly pale.
Even though he had lived for thousands of years, he was still afraid of death.
“Let’s head out then. Since you saw this from prophesying that otherworldly object, let’s go and take a look,” Zhou Xuanji said. He did not know why but he suddenly thought of the Ten Thousand Year Prince Xian Xianghua had mentioned.
Hearing this, everyone else nodded.
If they did not investigate this, they would not be able to eat or sleep.
“That thing was also flying inland, so we won’t have to make a detour,” Han Shenbo said. After speaking, he turned around first.
Everyone flew on their swords and quickly followed behind.
On the way, they continuously asked Daoya Old Man questions.
No one would not feel startled or afraid after knowing they were going to die. They wanted to know some more details to be prepared.
“Why wasn’t Revered Teacher included? Can Revered Teacher resist that person?” Xiao Jinghong asked out of curiosity. With Zhou Xuanji’s personality, if they died, he would definitely take revenge for them, no matter how powerful the enemy was.
Daoya Old Man frowned and said, “I’m not sure; I haven’t been able to prophesy this boy’s fate this whole time.”
The others could not help but look at Zhou Xuanji.
“Don’t worry, with me here, none of you will die. Even if you die, I’ll go down to the Yellow Springs and charge into the cycle of reincarnation and bring all of you back,” Zhou Xuanji said as he smiled.
If anyone else had said these words, they would have definitely scoffed.
However, since it was Zhou Xuanji who said this, they believed him.
This was trust that had been built over a long period of time.
