C3 (2/2)
The old man used his bare hands to push Liu Yuanying into a perilous situation and kept backing away.
The elder suddenly said, ”The Cloudmist Sword Art of the Five Sword Sect is only mediocre.”
Liu Yuanying was even angrier when he heard that. He immediately changed his sword skills and used every move to kill his opponent.
No matter how Yuan Ying attacked with his sword, the old man relaxed and thought that his situation today was getting more and more dangerous. When his true strength was exhausted, he would be at the end of his life. Right now, even if they were to receive a palm strike from you, they would have to stab you. When Ninth Junior Brother and the others arrive, they would have more people on their side, so they wouldn't be afraid of him.
He turned his body and purposely exposed a huge hole in the ground.
The old man chuckled and said, ”Why aren't you lying down?” He channeled his palm power and struck Liu Yuanying's chest with the Rushing Thunder Hand.
Although this was an opening, the strength of the old man's palm was not to be underestimated. He hastily raised his sword to block. The long sword was broken into two.
At the same time, a dagger slipped out of his left sleeve. The dagger was also thrust into the old man's chest.
That palm strike sent Liu Yuanying flying seven or eight feet back. He fell onto the ground and spat out blood as he vomited.
At this time, the Ninth Junior Brother finished with the Tang Sect disciples and stood up to see the scene unfold. He was shocked and hurriedly helped Liu Yuanying up. He pressed a few acupuncture points on his body to protect his heart.
The old man had not expected Liu Yuanying to have another move. He only saw blood spurting out like a stream from his chest. He hurriedly tapped his acupoints to stop the bleeding. His eyes opened wider than a dead fish's. Seeing that the other side had so many people, he thought to himself that good men don't want to look bad. He then leaped up and flew out of the Ancient Sha.
Ninth Junior Brother hurriedly turned around and said, ”Old thief, don't run!” He was waiting for the sword to catch up.
Liu Yuanying waved his hand and said, ”Ninth Junior Brother, stop chasing.” His voice was a little intermittent, as if he had used a lot of effort to finish his words, but that palm was actually not light.
Ninth Martial Brother said, ”How are you, are you alright, Eldest Martial Brother?”
Liu Yuanying said, ”It's fine. Let's go back to the mountain.”
Ninth Junior Martial Brother said, ”Witch Chen, what are you running for? Let's see how my Senior Martial Brother is injured.”
Chen Fang said, ”Big Brother Liu saved my life. I will never forget this. Don't tell me that you have some good intentions in chasing me?”
”Haha …” The Ninth Junior Martial Brother laughed. ”How ungrateful. If it weren't for Master repeatedly stressing that we must bring you back safely, we would not have cared about you at all.”
Liu Yuanying said, ”Shut up, there is a reason for what happened between us. How can you blame others like this?”
Chen Fang laughed, ”Stop acting. Don't think that I don't know what you guys are thinking.”
Ninth Junior Brother said, ”What, acting. My big senior brother is already injured like this because of you, but you're still putting on an act. ”
Liu Yuanying said, ”Alright, let's stop talking. Let's go back quickly.”
Ninth Junior Brother said: I want to say, this is too unfair to you.
Chen Fang said, ”Don't tell me you're not here for Lu Xiaotian's treasure.”
Ninth Junior Brother said, ”Yes, we are here for this thing, but do you know why we are here? Master said that the return of Lu Xiaotian's treasure might be a conspiracy.
Chen Fang asked doubtfully, ”A conspiracy? What kind of conspiracy? What exactly happened?”
Ninth Junior Martial Brother said, ”We don't really understand, it's just that Master wants us to bring you back safely. He said that if we don't handle this matter properly, it might be a calamity. Master said that Shaolin was the leader in all martial arts. This matter could not be better dealt with by Shaolin.
Chen Fang knew she misunderstood them and felt ashamed. Ying Ying kneeled down. ”Brother Liu.” ”Sorry, it's all my fault that you were injured like this.”
Liu Yuanying said, ”Sister-in-law, please get up quickly. We are family, there is no need to be so polite.”
Ninth Junior Brother ordered everyone to prepare a stretcher for Liu Yuanying and carried him away.
After the old man was injured. He didn't dare to stop at all. He sprinted for three to four miles before slowly stopping. The wound went by in a gallop. Blood flowed out again. The handle of the dagger dropped drop by drop onto the ground. The old man gritted his teeth. Pulling out his dagger, he immediately applied the Golden Sore Medicine he had brought with him to the wound. He kept scolding, ”Liu Yuanying, you bastard, you actually dared to secretly injure your grandfather. This old man will make you pay tenfold in the future. Didn't your Five Sword Sect have great capabilities? I will destroy your family. I just need to find a place with more people and tell them what happened. I just need to tell them that Lu Xiaotian's treasure was sent by the Five Sword Sect to ensure that they don't have a peaceful day ahead of them. After closing up the wound, they travelled another ten miles to the King Kong Town. When they found out about it, the biggest hotel in the town was the Everlasting Inn.
The way was clear. Just as he entered, a waiter came in and greeted him with a smile, ”Dear guest, please come in.”
The old man found a table near the window and sat down. He called out, ”Waiter, what dishes do you have in your restaurant?”
The waiter laughed and said, ”Customer, whatever you want to eat, please order. The restaurant has everything.”
The old man said, ”It's true!”
The waitress said, ”Did we lie to you when we opened the restaurant? ”Of course there's everything.”
The old man said, ”Very well, come and sit at your table. And two pounds of fine white wine. ”
The waiter was surprised to hear that. ”Are you going to eat alone or bring it home?”
The old man suddenly slapped the table and said, ”Are you blind? Don't you see this old man is alone?”
The waiter wanted to know how an old man like him was going to finish all the dishes on the table. Thus, he asked a question and bumped into a cold nail. He felt extremely uncomfortable and hurriedly said, ”All the dishes on the table, plus two catties of white wine.”
The old man sat there idly, looking around, waiting for the waiter to serve the dishes. His gaze suddenly stopped at a table of guests below the east window, and he saw a big man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
He was here, too, he thought. He's not better off here. I want you guys to fight so that I can get my revenge for this sword. The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became. He then looked around and saw a young man sitting at a table in the middle. He muttered, ”Hehe, it's him.”
Not long after, all the dishes had been served. The old man poured a bowl of wine and took a sip. ”Good wine. Good wine, but good wine. I just don't have any close friends to accompany me. What a pity.”
He turned around and walked to the side of the young man and said with a smile, ”Brother, are you willing to give me some face? Come have a drink with this old man. It's boring to drink alone.”
The youth was surprised at first: ”Are you calling me?”
The elder raised his glass and asked, ”Is there anyone else at this table?”
When the young man saw the smile on the old man's face, he couldn't help but feel a bit scared. How can there be such a good thing in the world? If you ask for a whole table, you definitely won't have the money to pay the bill. Not going to be like this, he said, ”This humble one has eaten his fill. Thank you for your good intentions. I also have some small matters to take care of, so I won't accompany you anymore.”
The old man knew what the youth was thinking when he saw the situation. He immediately took out a silver ingot from his pocket. It weighed a total of ten silvers. He placed it on the table and called out, ”Waiter, come and pay the bill first.”
The waiter walked over and said, ”You have a total of seven or eight taels of silver here.” Since this was the only seats in the restaurant, he didn't need to calculate to say it out loud.
The old man said, ”Here is ten taels of silver. In addition, give me a bowl and chopsticks, as well as two pounds of superior wine. As for the rest, serve as tips.”
The waiter took the silver. Although this man was a bit fierce, he was quite generous. He answered straightforwardly: ”Ok.”
The old man waved at the youth, ”Brother, you are welcome. Come over and drink with me.”
When the young man saw the old man take out the silver, he blamed himself for being too small. Now that he called him over, he didn't dare to go again. The old man smiled as he walked over and placed his hand on his shoulder, ”Little brother, do you know why I want you to drink with me?
The young man shook his head. He slowly said, ”Because you look like an old friend of mine.” With that, he sighed and muttered, ”Not long ago, I was drinking with my old friend, but who would have known that something bad would happen.” He paused for a moment before continuing, ”This old man sees little brother here, just like that old friend of mine. I wanted to invite little brother here for a drink, but you refused to give me face, even though you're very similar to that old friend of mine, you're not as straightforward as that friend of mine.”
The youth saw that the old man was moved as he spoke. He looked at the sorrowful expression on the old man's face and felt a bit regretful. ”Senior, how could I compare to your old friend? You are too kind and I am ashamed.” He stretched out his arm and said, ”Senior, please.” This junior will punish himself with three cups. ”
The old man said, ”That's more like it, isn't it? That makes him a lot like my old friend.” The two of them walked to the table and sat down to drink a few cups. Then, they started to talk loudly and talk about the wonders of the world and the wonders of the martial arts world.
After a long while, the old man suddenly asked, ”Little brother, have you heard? It is said that the inheritance of the master of the Immortal Crane Island, Lu Xiaotian, has returned to the martial arts world. ”
The young man paused for a second and said, ”I heard that. It was just a rumor in the martial arts world. It can't be true.”
The old man was stunned, ”What? They can't be real.” ”Looks like little brother doesn't believe you.”
He opened his shirt and said, ”Do you know where I got this injury?”
The youth said, ”You must be joking. How would I know?” He thought for a while and said, ”Could it be …”
The old man said, ”Yes, my wound was left behind to steal that thing.”
The young man said, ”Did you get that thing?”
The old man said, ”No.” There are too many people who want this. ”
The young man said, ”Who was the last person to take that thing away from.”
The old man suddenly picked up his wine cup and said, ”Come, let's drink.”
The youth continued to ask, ”You don't know?”
The old man said, ”Hmph, how could I not know? I will not tell you such a secret. Come, let's have a toast. ”
A loud sound was heard. A long sword was nailed in front of the old man. The long sword was stuck in the middle of the table. There was not even the slightest bit of soup spilled from the dishes and wine on the table.
However, after hearing what he said, he immediately knew what was going on. The voice came from the entrance of the shop. There were three women standing silently. The longsword was shot out by the woman standing on the left. He was clad in white, with an almond face and peach cheeks, and had curvy eyebrows. He was a great beauty, around twenty-two years old.
In the middle was a middle-aged woman. She was even more beautiful. Although she was slightly older than the other two, she had a more mature atmosphere. She had long, thin, and shapely eyebrows, and her eyes looked forward to seeing him. His demeanor was noble and refined.
The lady in white said, ”What are you waiting for?” ”What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for death?”
The old man saw how vicious this young lady could be at such a young age, and he looked at the sword nailed to the table. He couldn't help but be moved. Even at such a distance, he was still unable to do it. He thought to himself that these girls were not weak at all. He pulled out his sword and said, ”What a good sword, but such a good sword is used to nail the table. What a pity.” With that, he swung his sword and struck at the woman in white.
Before the old man could recover his wits, he suddenly swung the tip of his sword at his own throat. The one who attacked was the beautiful middle-aged woman.
The old man couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. This person's movement technique was actually so strange. It was actually faster than a sword thrown out.
The middle-aged woman said, ”Could it be that it has been a long time since the Five Poisons Sect has had a stroll in the martial arts world?” ”To be forgotten by the martial arts world, what you have to say is bullshit?”
The old man was astonished. Were these people from the Five Poisons Sect? Recalling the incident with the Five Poisons Sect in the past, he felt goosebumps rising all over his body. He said, ”My apologies. My apologies. This old man didn't know that the Immortal Lady from the Five Poisons Sect had arrived. Truly, I deserve to die.
A woman said, ”Cut the crap. What is going on?”
The old man recounted what had happened in the ancient Sha.
The lady in white said, ”Is that true?”
The old man said, ”Even if you lend me a hundred guts, you still wouldn't dare to lie to the fairies.”
The woman in white said, ”You probably wouldn't dare, too.” Before she finished her sentence, the three women had already disappeared.
The old man turned his head to look at the middle-aged man on the east, but it was unknown when he had disappeared as well. He walked quickly in the dark. You guys walk fast, so I can't be too slow. Laughing loudly, he walked out of the hotel.
