Long Qingquan's little cottage turned out to be a simple one. Everything was hewn or carved from stone – stone cottage, stone stools, and even the walls surrounding the yard were built of stones too.
They stepped into Long Qingquan's yard to find a few other elderly men already there.
Chu Xun knew that their gnarly and old outlooks belied their strong health and great powers.
"This is Chu Xun. It was he who had saved young Qi and the children," Long Qingquan presented him to the others.
The elderly men thanked him again.
They sat down around the stone table and Long Qingquan made everyone tea.
"Speaking the truth, Chu Xun. It's been ages since this village had seen any stranger," said one of the elderly men suddenly to find out where Chu Xun had come from.
Chu Xun said nothing. Instead, he quietly took out the stone that Emperor Ao gave him. The one that allowed him to walk through the enchant
The following day.Chu Xun woke up from his sleep amidst a hangover."How long has it been since he became so drunk? Yunyan City? That's almost twenty years ago."He activated the magic of the Hong Meng Scripture inside him and the aftereffects of the binge last night and the sour stench of liquor was gone.Chu Xun pivoted off the bed and stepped out of the room he found himself in. It was Long Qingquan's cottage."Master Chu Xun, you've woken up," observed Long Qingquan as he came in.Chu Xun nodded. "So," he said, "Can we go see the Silver Dragon Guard now?""No need for hurry, my good sir," said Long Qingquan, laying a tray of porridge and some simple side dishes, "Please, have some breakfast first."Once Chu Xun finished his meal, they set off towards Lake Dragonspring.Aside from Long Qingquan and a few of the elderly men, some of the children came along as well.
Cold and harsh as steel were those words that escaped Chu Xun's lips. His message was clear: submit and live or die."Brazen pup, do you not know Death even when it's already upon you?" smirked Long Kai."I take it that you're refusing to obey?" said Chu Xun, cold and expressionless.Long Kai scoffed and nocked an arrow on his bow.Whoosh! A two-meter long cast-iron arrow wailed like a banshee as it wheezed towards Chu Xun."HOW DARE YOU!" roared Long Qingquan with rage.Chu Xun waved him down, but his eyes betrayed a hint of malice.Clank! The iron arrow shattered into pieces with just a simple swat by Chu Xun with his hand before it even came near.Everyone gasped. What incredible strength!"Ao left you in my charge, so I'll be making the decisions here."Before he had even finished, Chu Xun disappeared in a bright flash, bol
There was not a man that day who was not undaunted by Chu Xun's callous ruthlessness.Qi's question to Chu Xun about how many men he had killed before remained still vivid as ever in everyone's mind.And he answered that he had killed too many people that he lost count.Long Qingquan and his group of fellow elderly seniors had dismissed it as just a mere exaggeration and thought nothing more of it. Little did they realize then that Chu Xun's meaning was quite literal.The savage viciousness he displayed during the one-sided slaughter of Long Kai and the others made everyone shivered with fear.Long Yi and his men rejoined Chu Xun once the dead bodies had been dealt with.Chu Xun pretended to ignore them and continued talking with Qi and the children.Long Yi and his men stood obediently beside them and did not interrupt them.Chu Xun left them there for more than an hour before tu
Internal Breath-forged arrows streaked like jets of comets.Spearheading the charge, Lei Bao summoned his magic. Strands of electricity coiled around him as if he was a lightning rod as he raised a hand and fired a blast of lightning at the shining-white arrow.Boom! The glowing white arrow-like energy bolt easily defeated his lightning blast and pierced through his protective aura and pummeled into his chest with a dull but sonorous thud.With a caterwauling scream, Lei Bao tumbled backward.Bang! Waves of winds and dust billowed furiously. Another energy-forged arrow exploded mere inches away from Long Ao's chest and the blast tossed him into the air, shrieking in agony.Having tasted the power of the arrows before, Yan Chong knew better; he quickly drew his greatsword and held it in front of himself like a shield.Clang!The arrow struck hard on the blade of the
The destruction of the Tianwu Sect and the disappearance of Wu Busi had left Chu Xun pondering about his next course of action when he overheard the conversation among a few warriors at a nearby table. "Talk about good fortune falling into one's lap," he mused."Long Yi, go invite those men over here," instructed Chu Xun.Long Yi stood up and strode over to the table. With a "friendly" manner, he grabbed the man by the shoulder, and while sealing the man's powers, he held his steak knife up to the man's throat and yanked him up to his feet."HEY! WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS!" cried the rest of his companions.And rather than answering, Long Yi released his aura, projecting it in full force that all three men immediately wobbled, nearly collapsing at the staggering pressure of his burgeoning aura that their insides boiled and churned uncontrollably."Please, good sir… We don't know you and we can't see if we had ever off
The Peacock youths were smug and arrogant."Let me go!" cried the beautiful woman between sobs and shrieks.The Peacock young man hugging her firmly wrenched at her lower chin roughly and snapped, "Quit acting innocent, you worthless trollop. Thank the stars that I even want you."Heads popped out of the pub. The other patrons of the pub looked displeased at the smug attitude of the Peacock youths, but no one dared to resist them.No one dared to risk offending the Peacock race, not especially for an ordinary woman."Who do you think you are, bullying a weak woman?!" shouted the middle-aged man at them.The leader of the youths looked at him, wearing a disdainful look, "Well, you're right, worthless scum like you aren't even worth bullying.""That's enough, Peacock race! The Devil announced that we humans own Earth. You're only guests here so behave yourself!" glowered the man."T
Chu Xun beheld the tall imposing peaks around them. There was only one way ahead and that was a little narrow path that wound by the edges of the ravine.The snaking little trail appeared to be the only path that led to the present hideout of the Broken Souls Cult and there could be sentries lurking unseen."Go down this little trail and flush out any sentries hiding unseen. Just go in openly; no need to hide yourselves," instructed Chu Xun."Yes, sir," said Long Yi and he led his men down the trail.Chu Xun lifted a hand and smote hard on the peacock's head, firing a blast of energy that rendered the animal unconscious. There it would remain for the next few hours.He circled back up the edge of the ravine where he found a tall and strong tree that hung over the cliffs and he clambered up its branches.With a purplish glow on his feet, he began to scale up the tree.Meanwhile, Long Yi encount
The sun was already coming up and it was already bright. The fresh air in the early morning was replaced by the smell of blood, and the narrow path was stained with blood. Long Yi and his crew had completely caught up to them, killing everything in their way.The disciples of the Broken Souls Cult were panic-stricken, and they all began retreating like a swarm of bees.Long Yi and his crew of 10 men all drew their bows and fired at the same time. Those 10 white arrows were like 10 death curses."Ah..."Miserable screams rang out. Blood splattered everywhere as the 10 arrows took away dozens of lives.The disciples of the Broken Souls Cult were scared out of their wits and kept retreating.Long Yi and his men were expressionless as they shot out arrows that were intended to kill."Who dares to make trouble here on the turf of the Broken Souls Cult?" An angry roar was heard that was like rolling
