Lonely Swordsman - C29
Shentu Po has always kept it in his heart that I stole his name.
Your name is domineering enough. It sounded both earth-shattering and overwhelming. Not like me, Tianyi, Tianyi. It sounds like a change of clothes — A reminder when the weather is cold.
Although I have disobeyed your wishes and demoted myself, Shentu Po did not appreciate your kindness in the slightest.
According to him, his name was too high up for such a low level. At the very least, he had to do it on a grand occasion like the nine heavens surrounding the moon and the five seas capturing the turtle before he could call out his name.
I repeatedly nodded my head in agreement, but in my heart, I couldn’t help but think that there were too many ugly people playing tricks on me.
— —
If there were more trees, there would be more branches. If there were more people, there would be more idiots.
I took a ladle of water and splashed it on the man’s face. He choked twice and slowly woke up.
When he first saw me, he looked as if he had seen a ghost, and quickly took two steps back.
I’m angry — I’m so good-looking, and you deserve my fucking beauty?
I put my foot on his stomach. He said fiercely: “Speak! What’s your name, where did your master come from, and why did you set me up? ”
Interrogation is also a skill. You have to have the courage to be arrogant and be able to hold your ground. You can ask no age, no sex, no realm — but you have to ask the other person about his or her background.
This was because background was something extremely terrifying. You might have bullied the little one, but the old one just ran over to get back at you.
Thus, it was best to ask about some things clearly. If it was a rogue cultivator, he could easily send them away. If it was a famous sect, they would have to carefully consider it. When a hero is short of breath, he would be short of breath, but he would not die if he breathed less.
The wretched man looked a little pained by my kick. He bent over, clutched his stomach, and spat. He fiercely glared at Shentu Po and I as he furiously said, “Even if you beat me to death, I won’t say anything.”
Oh shit, I have a bad temper.
I couldn’t help it, so I went up and kicked twice.
Seeing this, Shentu Po hurriedly came over to stop me. “It’s not good for you to do this, it’s not fair — you’ve already kicked quite a few times, it should be my turn now.”
I was at a loss for words.
Shentu Po walked forward and used his strength to forcefully stomp on the soles of his feet. It was like stepping on the chest of a vulgar man.
Shentu Po did not use any Fa Li and only relied on his physical strength. However, the man’s mana was also sealed.
Without magic to protect his body, he also exerted a tremendous amount of strength to protect it. And so I heard the crack of my ribs and the sound of pain.
Before Shentu Po could take his second step, the vulgar man had already started howling in pain. “I’ll say, I’ll say.”
“Don’t say it!”
I was dumbfounded. If you didn’t say anything when I ask you, you would have admitted it as soon as someone else used a little bit of strength — Aren’t you just looking down on me!?
“How f * cking stubborn!” I shouted, “Didn’t you say that even if I beat you to death, you wouldn’t say it!”
“If you beat me to death, I won’t tell you. If you don’t beat me to death, then I’ll tell you.” The man was sweating as he gasped for breath and said, “It hurts so much!”
“…”
“I am Jiang Wuya, a rogue cultivator. I like to wander around.”
I came to him with interest and said, “Your teeth are like the stars in the sky. They are bright and far away — no wonder they are called toothless.”
“The ends of the world.” The vulgar man called Jiang Wuya glanced at me and explained.
“One day, I heard that a secret realm has been opened.” My heart skipped a beat and I followed my rogue cultivators. After entering the whirlpool in the secret realm, I lost contact with my friends and happened to bump into Liao Hua and Yin from the Yin Wind Tunnel. ”
“He is the Young Master Flower Yin that the other men in black were talking about.” Shentu Po asked.
“Right.” Jiang Wuya nodded his head. “This person is ruthless, yet he has a gentle and refined expression on his face. He’s truly a beast with a human face.”
Jiang Wuya explained slowly, “That day, I fought against a low-ranked greater demon and gradually lost all my mana after a long battle. Liao Hua Yin and his two servants just happened to pass by and helped me get rid of the beast in a few breaths. I was grateful, but I also had the thought of safety, so I followed him all the way. Who would have thought that this fellow didn’t save me from the bottom of his heart? It was just that I was used as cannon fodder. Afterwards, whenever there was any danger, I would have to lead the way, while the master and his six servants would slowly walk behind me, immediately retreating whenever there was any movement. It was all thanks to my great fortune that I did not encounter any danger along the way. ”
“And then?” I asked.
“You should have guessed later. I can’t take it anymore. If this goes on, I am in danger of falling at any time. ”
Jiang Wuya seemed to be reminiscing, “When the seven of us arrived at a mountain, the spiritual pressure here was exceptionally strong. Just by thinking about it, he knew that there was definitely a great treasure here. We looked around and saw a cave half the width of a man under the cover of artemisia grass. According to common sense, the treasure should be guarded by a strong demon beast. With my small build, I can’t even bear to have my teeth stuffed in. However, Master Liao Hua and his servant were glaring at me covetously. I had no choice but to bite the bullet and dive downwards. ”
“It’s only right that I got lucky. There really is a demonic beast inside the cavern, a water qilin. However, the beast had long since perished. It was unknown whether it was because his lifespan was running out, or because he had failed to break through. “Only the leather bag and the huge beast core with dense Qi is left.”
“At that time, I didn’t think too much into it. I only knew that my chance had come, so I kept the beast core.” Then he walked out of the cave and lied that it was safe. There was a thousand-year-old snow lotus flower growing inside. When Liao Hua Yin heard this, she was elated. She brought four servants in, leaving behind one person to watch me. My heart was full of joy and fear. I knew that if I stayed any longer, I would be exposed. I hurriedly took advantage of the other servant’s carelessness to escape. ”

“What a sad story!” I squatted down and patted Jiang Wuya’s shoulder. “Here, help me open this ring.”
A storage ring was a method that used mustard seeds to receive their Sumeru Constellation. It would open up a void space within an inch of space to store items. Half of the cultivator’s wealth was hidden here. Therefore, every cultivator would treat storage rings with caution. It was difficult for an ordinary person to open the special sealing technique.
Jiang Wuya received the ring and tapped it lightly with his finger. The items within were scattered all over the floor.
Five of the pitch black balls blinded my eyes. I immediately grumbled. This sphere was obviously the Tang Sect’s famous hidden weapon, Thunderbolt. If five thunderbolts were to explode at the same time, even an expert like Shentu Po would be blown away.
Fortunately, I wasn’t too impulsive and violent to break the ring. Otherwise, even with the protection of the Silkworm Armour, he would still have to spit out two mouthfuls of blood.
I blocked Shentu Po’s line of sight and calmly withdrew the thunderbolt. He then swept his gaze over the items on the ground.
Jiang Wuya was also a poor rogue cultivator, and his clothes were full of low-grade magic tools, talismans, and pills.
However, my nature is kind, so I won’t look down on him. So even though his things weren’t worth mentioning, I always pretended to be open-minded and like a treasure.
“Wow, Qi Replenishing Pill!” Do you want these? ”
“Wow, a Fireball Charm!” Do you want these? ”
“Wow, the Broken Magic Sword!” Do you want these? ”
“…”
I found out that Jiang Wuya was sick, possibly a spasm of the facial muscles. When he stared at me, his face would twitch unnaturally, “Heh, heh. “Oh, I like it. You can have it.”
Even though he was sick, he was generous enough to give me everything.
I didn’t want it. It wasn’t worth much, but it was polite. He was on the verge of tears, so I reluctantly accepted it.
I put everything into the ring. After collecting everything, he suddenly saw a white jade box sealed with talismans. The lid of the box was already covered in a thin layer of frost.
My heart is overjoyed, this thing should be the water qilin beast’s inner core right?
I was about to reach out and take it when a broad hand appeared before me. Who else could it be other than Shentu Po?
Shentu Po grabbed the white jade box, tore open the seal of the talisman, and opened the lid. In just a short moment, he once again closed the lid and pasted the talisman on it. Ye Zichen chucked the entire box into his storage ring. After which, his face revealed a hint of happiness.
“Little brother, you took so many things. Elder brother, please give this item to me. ”
I stared straight at Shentu Po, my heart racing.

Jiang Wuya begged us to let him go.
He said: “You two, I didn’t mean to offend you, I had to do it. I’ll trouble you adults not to think too much of me, just let me go like a fart. ”
I can tell right from wrong. If people don’t offend me, I won’t offend them, even though Jiang Wuya has offended me before. But I will not take human life lightly.
In the end, I still let Jiang Wuya go.
I, Shen Can, am a man of my word. I let go of the string in my hand and looked at the kite flying into the wind, as well as the person who was still crying out loudly on the kite. He sighed with emotion and said, “Look, if I don’t let him go, he’ll cry. He will cry if he is released — he is such a sentimental man. ”
Shentu Po looked around and curiously said, “Don’t fall to your death.”
ME: “We can only resign ourselves to fate.”

After dealing with Jiang Wuya, we’ll continue on our way.
After walking for about two hours, the sky suddenly changed color. A large area of leaden clouds seemed to have been dyed in flames, causing the entire sky to turn bright red.
I said with a sigh, “The vermilion sky is really beautiful!”
Shentu Po did not say anything as he stood by my side. He raised his head towards the sky with a serious expression.
Suddenly, ten beams of light flashed past at high speed. I display the freedom of the view, faintly visible inside the human figure.
I took a closer look and didn’t expect that it was actually Nguyen clearly waiting for someone. Yan Dongluo and Fu Dao were naturally there as well. What I didn’t expect was that the people at the side were Jin Xinxin, Li Fujiao, and a few of the Jin family’s gray-clothed henchmen.
I said to Shentu Po before waving my hand towards the sky and shouting.
Ruan Qing and the others acted as if they didn’t hear him. They continued to fly further and further away.
My shaking arms stopped in the air, the embarrassment.
Just as I was about to open my mouth to curse, Shentu Po angrily roared.
“Flee quickly! Danger!”
Before I could react, he had already grabbed the back of my neck and madly flew into the air.
The cold wind filled my robe and blew my hair up. The turf on both sides of the earth was rapidly receding in my line of sight.
I looked ahead, and there was surprise in my eyes.
A huge black claw covered in scales tore apart the clouds and stretched out.
Demonic qi filled the skies, blotting out the sun.
