Chapter 1465 - 1123: Water and Thunder—Inferior Hexagram, the Mad Butcher Rescues!
...
Two days later.
Shu region, Moxi Town.
Like sifted through a sieve, the fine rain endlessly covers the land, painting the mountains, earth, and forests with a deep gray as if transforming into an ink landscape painting.
On a main road near Hailuo Gully, three fast horses gallop through the rain curtain, their hooves splashing mud all around, quickly leaving behind shallow pits as if rapidly unfurling the ink lines of a scroll.
Not far from the road, a group of mysterious figures wearing rain cloaks and green bamboo hats stand waiting, their presence restrained, faces cold as they gaze at the end of the distant road.
Only ten or so meters away, visibility is blurred, the rain curtain blocking all sight in a vast whiteness.
But none of these five people are ordinary; even by sensing the slight vibrations of the ground with their feet, they know the target is rapidly approaching.
At the forefront, two figures exude a chilling aura, their faces bearing an extraordinary pallor, making them unsettling, clearly the Yin Yang Temple People.
Beside them are the lama Cangling Master holding copper cymbals, Human King Deng Yuping with penetrating eyes and a sword at his waist, and the disguised Mixed Element Thunderclap Hand Cheng Kun, now posing as a Taoist.
Among these five, two possess strength of the Heavenly Human Realm, and three are of Gang Qi Realm; together they can sweep across any major sect in the Martial World, yet at this moment they gather here to faithfully execute a task relayed by the Black Wind Village Chief five days ago.
"Target consists of three individuals, with one confirmed at Heavenly Human Realm, the other two unknown strength, follow the plan, attack!"
One of the Yin Yang Temple People shouted lowly, swiftly turning into a fleeting shadow through the rain, True Qi from his body dispersing the rain into mist, scattering rapidly.
The remaining four did not hesitate, all began to move, swiftly encircling the three fast horses appearing on the road.
Wind and rain danced fiercely with the turbulence of Heaven and Earth Power.
Seeing their interceptors charge ahead without surprise, the three riders pressed their legs against the stirrups, accelerating forward.
"Attack!"
Upon the command, the five shadows broke through the rain curtain, striking from their best positions, each demonstrating their Martial Arts pinnacle achievements.
This combined attack from the five incorporated their peak accomplishments, forming a method to trap the enemy.
Each perfectly merged their highest Martial Arts achievements to coordinate their assault.
Cheng Kun’s Finger Strength and Gang Qi flew, infused with his circular strength, Thunder Fist, and Illusion Yin Finger’s unique mastery.
Human King’s Hainan Swordsmanship, urgent as a shooting star, strangely heavy.
The Yin Temple Monk’s hidden weapons, irregular hidden weapons, Silver Shuttle, Golden Needle, Poisonous Thorns.
Yang Temple People, with a burst of one-meter Heavenly Person Power, whipped up a fierce Gang Wind, carrying several black shadows like arrows, evidently specialized hidden weapons.
Cangling Master shouted, withdrawing two copper cymbals from his waist, sound resonating everywhere, a move ’Double Wind Piercing Ears’ like two dragons clashing, the cymbals aimed at cover the three, immediately emitting a brain-numbing thunderous noise.
Words cannot simply express the lightning-fast tacit understanding and momentum of the five’s strike.
The densely packed rain curtain seemed swept away in an instant.
In that moment, among the three riders, two shadows abruptly propelled from their stirrups, an aggressive beast-like ferocity accompanied by Heavenly Person Power soared from their bodies, meanwhile, with the protection of these two, the third rider continued rushing forward, clutching Bu Jingyun under his arm.
Two forces at Heavenly Human 2 Realm, like Taishan Pressing instantly enveloped Cheng Kun and the five, making their faces change drastically.
Two Heavenly Humans!
And such fierce beast-like momentum highlighted these two’s formidable level.
The third person entrusted with the critical task of taking Bu Jingyun away; is their strength higher? At least a Heavenly Human(?), no wonder this mysterious force dared to provoke authority!
Their momentum was involuntarily stagnant.
The fierce battle exploded immediately, roars and strange howls accompanied by blurred shadows quickly intersected in the rain.
The Yin Temple Monk yelled, using Qinggong to quickly pursue the fleeing third rider.
The rider let out a beast-like roar, striking with a palm, three-meter Heaven and Earth Power condensed, palm power Gang Wind rolling with swirling air currents, the force immense, crashing onto the Yin Monk’s claws.
With a resounding crash, the Yin Temple Monk spewed a torrent of blood, silhouette tumbling back, defeated in a single encounter.
The emotionless rider retracted his palm and continued to hurry forward on horseback.
Bu Jingyun watched this scene calmly, his body motionless. As the scenery around him blurred past quickly, his heart suddenly gave rise to a curious interest in the mysterious person who insisted on meeting him, as if drawn by an inexplicable attraction.
After a while.
In the distance, the outlines of Moxi Town had already appeared before him.
At that moment, a peculiar clanging sound of metal and iron colliding suddenly emanated from the nearby official road, as if a massive and extremely heavy creature was moving.
A tall, imposing figure wearing a swaggering, menacing black metal armor emerged from beside the road.
The heavy metal war boots left one black footprint after another on the ground as it swaggered into the center of the road, blocking the path to the town gate of Moxi Town.
Tie Kuangtu!
The rider’s expression remained emotionless, and the speed of the horse did not decrease, continuing to charge forward. However, Bu Jingyun keenly sensed that the muscles of the figure beside him had tightened like those of a beast threatened, each one taut.
Whoosh—
Bu Jingyun’s body was suddenly tossed into the air by the rider.
Clop-clop-clop-clop—
The rider leaned forward, the horse galloping faster and more fiercely, its four hooves and the muscles lining its body flickering like surging currents, pulsating with a sense of rapid explosive power, aggressively intending to crash through everything in its path.
Twenty zhang!
Ten zhang!
Five zhang!
...
"Unexpected... Even at this moment, the God-searching Palace still exists in the Martial World..."
At this critical juncture, Tie Kuangtu still had the leisure to speak with calmness, and as he said these words, his heavy form leaned forward, his feet suddenly stomping down, resulting in a booming explosion that caused the ground to collapse into two deep pits.
A wildly arrogant momentum of the Heavenly Human 8th Realm burst forth, accompanied by the violent murderous aura of the black Heavenly Tribulation Battle Armor, wantonly unchecked!
With a "bang", a resounding explosion echoed, as though two bright intersecting claw marks flashed through the air, soon dyed crimson by the blood spilling crazily in the air.
Whoosh—
Scalding hot horse blood, human blood, mixed with various shredded organs, splashed on the ground, forming a fierce-looking cross-shaped claw mark.
Tie Kuangtu steadied his half-crouching body’s charge, the fierce heavenly tribulation claws between his raised arms drenched in shocking blood, the blood rapidly disappearing along the grooves as if being absorbed and devoured by the sinister armor.
"Swish", the claws retracted into the armor, and his figure charged forward once more, just in time to catch Bu Jingyun’s body as he fell, facing him directly.
But unexpectedly found, the child’s small face showed no expression, coldly staring at him like an ice sculpture, as if everything that just occurred had never happened.
"You’re not scared?"
Tie Kuangtu mused with interest, unexpectedly smiling.
Bu Jingyun spat out two words, "Not scared."
Tie Kuangtu startled, trying to release a hint of Heavenly Tribulation’s Evil Qi to intimidate, yet found the opponent remaining calm and unmoved, like an eternal stone statue, astonished, "Why?"
Bu Jingyun coldly replied, "Not scared means not scared."
Tie Kuangtu’s gaze slightly concentrated, perceiving within this child three distinct types of True Qi, one of which somewhat related to the Black Wind Village Chief.
Suddenly, it seemed clear why the God-searching Palace emerged back into the Martial World just to seize this child; the mere composure he demonstrated even as Taishan collapses before him was extraordinary, and his task accompanying the delivery of the armor to the village chief, having been entrusted to intercept this child, wasn’t considered disgraced...
