1016 Demon Lord (1/2)
”Escape!”
A violent thunderstorm rumbled.
Wang Tianming held Ling Xian'er as he used his lightness skill and quickly escaped.
”What… How could this happen?”
Ling Xian'er looked dazed, her tears mixing with the rain, indistinguishable from each other.
Things had unfolded too suddenly.
A black-clothed man had surprise attacked the Great River Alliance Leader! Furthermore, Xuan Tianzi had said that he was absolutely not in the Connate realm but had God-tier combat power!
After a great battle, the elders of the Great River Alliance had suffered heavy casualties, and even Xuan Tianzi had been captured.
With Xuan Tianzi and the elders' desperate struggle, the two of them escaped by a hair's breadth.
”Phew… nobody is coming after us!”
Wang Tianming looked up at the sky. ”If we continue to stay in the rain, we'll fall sick!”
He turned and spotted a mountain god temple by the road. He dashed in immediately.
This temple had had no incense for a long time. With a 'bang', the door fell. The temple was leaking, but there were still a few dry spots inside.
Wang Tianming put Ling Xian'er down and then started a fire using some thatched wood chips.
The temperature continued to rise, finally removing the chill from the air.
”What… How could this happen? A God-tier martial artist suddenly attacked the Great River Alliance?” Ling Xian'er's was soaked, revealing her beautiful figure, but she paid no attention to it. ”Revenge! I must take revenge. Who was that black-clothed man? Was it the Unparalleled Demon Emperor?”
”Demon Sect?” Wang Tianming shivered and clenched his fists. ”Xian'er, don't worry. Your enemies are my enemies. We'll take revenge for Master!”
He was a meticulous person. He roasted dried meat, steamed buns, and so on over the fire. Soon, the fragrance of food spread.
”Xian'er, it's done. You eat first!”
However, when Wang Tianming handed the roast meat to her, a large dirty hand came out from nowhere. It snatched the branches away and stuffed the buns and meat into his bearded mouth.
”Ooh… so fragrant! It's delicious!”
'”Ahh!” Ling Xian'er screamed when she saw a sloppy Daoist priest appear out of nowhere. A red wine gourd hung by his waist, and he reeked of alcohol.
”You are… Teacher?!” When Wang Tianming saw this sloppy Daoist priest, his eyes glowed, recognizing him as the expert who had guided him on to the path of the Martial Dao at the beginning, and knelt immediately.
”Drunken Daoist?!” Ling Xian'er's eyes brightened as she knelt and was about to cry. ”Senior, please save my father…”
”I remember you. You're that kid I taught before. I only taught you the Hundred Flowers Fist, so don't call me your teacher…” The drunken man gobbled the food up in three bites before removing the cork on his gourd and taking a satisfying swig. ”Anyway, you've already entered the Great River Alliance. Is this girl the daughter of the Great River Alliance Leader? What happened?”
”This is what happened…” Wang Tianming began explaining at once.
”What? Someone defeated Xuan Tianzi in three strikes? He must be a God-tier martial artist!”
The drunken man's expression turned serious as he released an imposing aura. ”Wait here. I'll be back soon!”
Swoosh!
As soon as the words fell, he immediately disappeared.
”Xian'er, don't worry. Even the Unparalleled Demon Emperor can't easily defeat the Drunken Daoist!” Wang Tianming quickly comforted Ling Xian'er.
”Okay!” Ling Xian'er nodded and wiped her tears away, her gaze looking hopeful. Martial Roll fourth, the Drunken Daoist! He can certainly save Daddy! Definitely!
…
But the next instant, a voice they would remember for the rest of their lives rang out not far away. ”Haha. Truly traveling far and wide to look for someone only to find them easily. Drunken Daoist, hand over your martial arts intent, and I'll spare your life!”
”Your Excellency, you aren't the Unparalleled Demon Emperor or one of the God-tier martial artists I know. Daring to move so boldly, aren't you afraid of being attacked by the Pugilistic World?” Drunken Daoist's voice resounded without the leisure and satisfaction from earlier.
”I only seek happiness in my life!” The black-clothed man's voice was loud and clear. The next instant, muffled thunder resounded, suppressing everything in its path.
Boom!
A terrifying Qi explosion resounded from all directions and instantly spread to the mountain god temple.
Rumble!
The entire mountain god temple collapsed as a waterfall of rain rushed down.
However, Wang Tianming and Ling Xian'er ignored this and instead stared at the two fighting in the sky.
The black-clothed man and the Drunken Daoist's afterimages remained midair, looking as though countless versions of them were battling.
Furthermore, all the techniques they used were exquisite killing techniques, enough for common martial artists to comprehend all their life.
”That black-clothed man can unexpectedly stand up to the Drunken Daoist. His strength is at least within the top five on the Martial Roll! Who is he?”
Wang Tianming and Ling Xian'er exchanged glances, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
”Drunken Daoist? Not bad. Unfortunately… you're not good enough!”
The next moment.
The black-clothed man grunted coldly, and the torrential rain crystallized into icicles.
Chichi!
Above the icicles, small flames lit up. They looked just like fiery trees and silver flowers, as beautiful as a dream. ”Ice-Fire Killing Technique!”
”Ice and fire intents? And they work harmoniously? How is this possible?” the Drunken Daoist exclaimed.
