Chapter 218 (1/2)
A majestically tall figure came up in the heavy rain.
He got a rugged face and a wide forehead, with his bare chest as hard as a rock. Still holding a huge jar of liquor, he was drunk and bleary-eyed like a drunkard.
But right now he walked up like a mountain, sending out an overwhelming power, which even made the torrential downpour unable to get close to him!
It was exactly Shue Jin.
Feeling inexplicable pressure, Ghost Moon and Gray Mink were both struck by a sudden chill, as if small ants were looking up at a towering mountain!
“A real assassin should not have feelings.”
Shue Jin’s eyes swept around the two persons, and seeming to have recalled something, he had a sigh and said, “You can leave. Go back and ask your master whether he still remembered ‘bloody Cang Mountain shrouded in scarlet sunset’.”
Ghost Moon and Gray Mink looked at each other with blank dismay, hesitated for a moment and eventually hurried away with clenched teeth.
Shue Jin watched them leave; a wry smile emerged on the corner of his lips, and then he held up the jar and started to guzzle the liquor in the heavy rain.
Bang!
The liquor was drunk up and the jar broke to pieces.
Shue Jin exhaled a long breath of foul air and cast his eyes far away.
Suddenly, a horrible light burst out of his drunken eyes which were like a pair of surging thunder vortexes.
Almost at the same time, a light sound of wonder was heard in the darkness far away. Soon a slender figure showed up, and was close in the blink of an eye.
He wore a wide-sleeved black robe and had three wisps of goatees, showing demeanor of transcendent being. The momentum around him seemed to connect to the sky. Though his eyes seemed bland, even a casual glance exuded kind of shocking deterrent power.
“Could I ask who you are, friend?”
The man had got a fathomless temperament, and standing more than three hundred meters away, he fixed his eyes on Shue.
The torrential rain, seeming to be imprisoned by an invisible force, could not get close to this area within the radius of more than three hundred meters!
Shue Jin gave a sneer, “It’s not important who I am. You, with your current identity, should launch such an attack against a young man tonight. This really surprises me.”
The man with a transcendent air turned out to be Yao Tuohai!
It was unclear what Lin would have in mind if he were here watching this.
Yao Tuohai’s face fell and a touch of coldness flashed across his eyes. In fact, he was somewhat startled since he was unclear about the identity of Shue Jin, from whose aura, though, he sensed a horrible kind of power.
“You’re here to stop me?” Yao Tuohai asked tentatively.
Shue Jin laughed, “Do you really think you deserve my attention? Cut the crap. It’s been enough for tonight. It’s time to end. But if you don’t want to, then defeat me first.”
The pupils of Yao Tuohai contracted, “So are you coming to protect Lin Xun?”
Shue Jin scratched his head and said, “You can think it in this way.”
After Yao heard the words, his heart sank. Yao had never imagined that there should still be a strong practitioner besides Lin Xun to protect him, and this man’s cultivation was no weak than that of practitioners in the Tao Insight Realm!
Yao Tuohai took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “In this case, I am very curious whether you really can protect this lad?”
As a formidable practitioner in Southwestern Province of the empire, Yao Tuohai, who could be on a par with Governor Liu Wujun, would naturally not be frightened by this one sentence.
Shue Jin frowned, seemingly a bit impatient, and said, “I’m clear that no matter how much more crap there is, fists are always the best way to solve the problem.”
His voice having not yet disappeared, Shue Jin directly strode forward and threw a punch.
Boom!
Simple as it was, the punch boasted an unstoppable power, as if it could pierce the void.
It could be clearly seen that the void of this whole area had been severely squeezed, with every inch of it collapsing and producing a sharp sound, which eclipsed the heaven and earth.
Yao Tuohai’s face slightly changed, with dazzling cyan lights suddenly gushing out of his whole body and going straight up to the sky, making his power climbing to the extreme in an instant.
Buzz~
Almost at the same time, he slightly bent his five fingers, forming a handprint, which was dazzling with cyan light, and smashed out.
Liu Wujun, who buried himself in cultivation in the mansion of the governor right now, suddenly opened his eyes, with a touch of shock crossing his brows.
In the Mist College, President Wei Lingzhen and Commander-in-chief of Ziling Army Du Dongtu also sensed something while playing chess, and unanimously stopped their movements, with eyes towards the same direction.
In the Tingyu Tower, Ting Yu, who, sitting cross-legged, was playing qin alone, suffered a quiver on his fingertips and made an imperceptible noise. But seeming totally unaware of what was happening, he frowned, and looked into the distance out of the window.
There should be strong ones of Tao Insight Realm fighting on this rainy night in the Mist City?
This thought occurred to Liu Wujun, Wei Lingzhen and Du Dongtu at the same time, making them all surprised.
Were there even strong ones of Tao Insight Realm involved in tonight’s fight?
When they tried to perceive something more, there was no more they could know, as if the feeling just now was only an illusion and nothing special had ever happened.
This inevitably made them full of doubt and surprise again.
