As the Universe Turns - Chapter 55
Chapter 55 Odd Granny
“Hand over the items wisely. Otherwise, the two of them won’t be able to live today!” The two old men were still dripping blood on their swords as they walked towards the sedan chair with a murderous aura.
Yi Chen held his breath in the distance, his heart beating faster and faster. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes today, he really couldn’t believe that a dignified and upright elder would have killed someone even more terrifying than the people in Diabolism! The poor four girls were in the middle of a beautiful day, but they were dissipating the fragrance of the mountain. The mother-in-law in the sedan chair was quite good. Just where did she provoke them, so much so that they killed them so painfully?
“Granny, hurry up and leave!”
The two women stood in front of the sedan chair with their swords crossed in front of their chests. Their eyes were cold and they swore to protect their master. The red-robed old man’s gaze turned fierce, “Stubborn!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pulled out a strand of profound energy. He immediately grabbed the woman on the left and stabbed her abdomen with his sword. With a “chi” sound, blood splashed everywhere. The woman was pierced through by his sword and her heart meridians were shattered. She immediately died.
“Sister!”
Another woman from Qingyi shouted and stabbed at the red-clothed old man. However, the sword only stabbed three minutes before she felt a chill on her neck. The Old man Qingyi sword behind her had already been retracted from its sheath.
“Uh …”
The woman from Qingyi covered her throat with blood and finally fell into the pool of blood. Yi Chen hid behind the tree in the distance and saw the scene clearly. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she covered her mouth forcefully.
Even though he had learned some skills over the years and knew about the saber-light and sword-shadow slaughter in this world, he had never seen a real killing. And just now, he had seen two people killed in a row. One person’s life was as light as a feather, was it as despicable as a feather?
He couldn’t help but feel dizzy. Master often said that the righteous path of our generation should be to cross over others and oneself. It should focus on the lives of the world, not on the smell of blood everywhere. But why did these two people kill two living people just because they didn’t agree with each other?
When he saw this scene today, he felt as if the world he knew from before had suddenly collapsed. What exactly was the Righteous Dao? What is Diabolism?
“Things, do you want to hand them over or not …”
The murderous intent on the two of them became even heavier. As he approached the sedan chair step by step, Yi Chen suddenly regained his senses. No, he had to think of a way to save the mother-in-law. The mother-in-law was a good person. Back then, those people had underestimated Master and felt that Master’s seniority was a generation lower. Only this mother-in-law respected Master. She had to save her no matter what she said today. She could not die at the hands of these two villains!
But how?
Yi Chen looked at the two people from the Hidden Edge Valley. These two people had at least a hundred years of Dao Cultivation. Slow down, they were injured now. Even at their peak, they might not be able to fight against these two people. Yes! He frowned and thought about it. Suddenly, he shouted, “Master! Are you in front?”
When the two of them heard the voice, they immediately looked over. The red-clothed old man recognized him as Xiao Yi Chen with a single glance. They couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts. Why was this kid here? Didn’t he teach him everything that happened just now?
Yi Chen walked up with a smile and said, “Martial Uncles, did you see my master? She said to wait for me in front of me, but why didn’t you see her?”
The two of them felt a chill in their hearts as they exchanged glances. Could it be that Ling Yin was nearby? “We didn’t see your master. Why are you here?” The two of them looked at him doubtfully.
Yi Chen smiled and said, “It’s all my fault for being playful and wandering away from Master. She said to wait for me in front of me …” Only then did she pretend to see the corpse on the ground and exclaim in shock, “Ah! This, this …”
The two of them frowned. The red-clothed old man said, “These are Diabolism monsters. Don’t worry, go find your master. She should be there.” After saying that, he randomly pointed in a direction.
“Hehe! Monster Diabolism, what a monster Diabolism!”
At this moment, an old woman’s sneer came from the sedan chair. Yi Chen recognized that it was the granny. He immediately walked up and shouted, “Granny! Is that you? What’s going on?”
“Little brother, we meet again. What a coincidence today.”
The old woman’s voice came from the sedan chair. The two of them looked at each other. Could it be that this brat knew the old witch in the sedan chair? It’s a little troublesome this time.
The red-clothed old man thought for a moment and immediately revealed a serious expression. He said seriously, “Xiao Yichen! You are a disciple of the Xuanqing Sect, how did you get mixed up with these Diabolism yao people? Did you forget that you are a righteous disciple and you are actually a companion of the Diabolism yao people?”
Seeing that he was deducting dung beetles for himself, Yi Chen hurriedly shook his hand and said, “Martial Uncles, you misunderstood! This mother-in-law is not a Diabolism monster. I have seen her with Martial Uncle Mei before.” I thought that the two of you would kill without blinking an eye, just like Diabolism’s monster.
“Hehe!”
The sedan chair let out a cold laugh from her mother-in-law, “Diabolism Demon? Tell me, which Diabolism Demon is this old man? The world has a wide range of paths. Could it be that other than you guys, everyone else is Diabolism Demon?” The sedan chair let out a cold laugh, “Diabolism Demon? Tell me, which Diabolism Demon is this old man?”
The red-clothed old man said, “If you weren’t a demon from Diabolism, why are you sneaking around here these days?”
“Humph!” The granny sneered, “Sneaky, you may not see much openness.”
“Then you can give it a try!”
The red-clothed old man was about to draw his sword when Xiao Yichen hurriedly blocked it. He shook his head and said, “Wait, wait, wait. I think you must have misunderstood! Stop fighting!” “Granny, these two are Cangfeng Valley’s martial uncles. None of us are Diabolism’s monsters. You must have misunderstood!”
“Oh? Haha …” Granny’s cold laughter came from the sedan chair. “So it’s an expert from Cangfeng Valley. Today’s grudge, this old man will remember it first.”
“You!” The two of them were instantly enraged and looked at Xiao Yichen. This brat deliberately told them so that their identities would be exposed and they would be afraid.
It turned out that these two were two elders of Cangfeng Valley. The red-clothed man’s name was He Chongtian. The person in green was called Xu Taichang. He was the senior apprentice-brother of the purple-clothed old man Xu Nian from the Heavenly Gate. He was also the senior apprentice-uncle of Fang Chengyu who had his Immortal Sword destroyed by Xiao Yichen. He was not the old man in green who said that Xiao Yichen was from Diabolism, Tang Qing.
“Xiao Yichen, get out of the way!”
He Chongtian waved his sleeves, causing dust to fly up in the vicinity. After so long, they had not seen Ling Yin. The two of them concluded that Ling Yin was not around. They thought to themselves that this kid was still recovering from his injuries at the Heavenly Gate a few days ago and had come here so quickly. It must be because of the shock yesterday that he had separated from his eyebrows. Since Ling Yin and his eyebrows weren’t around, it would be much easier.
Yi Chen shook his head and said, “Martial Uncles, Granny is really not a bad person. Just now, the two Martial Uncles killed a few sisters by mistake. Don’t kill anymore. Don’t worry, I won’t spill the beans about this. The two Martial Uncles are also righteous in their hearts …”
Seeing that he was constantly obstructing them, the two of them couldn’t help but frown. Their gazes met. What should they do now? This brat is enemies with me, Cangfeng Valley, and now he is here to obstruct us in every way. Furthermore, he saw it just now … Anyway, Ling Yin and her eyebrows are not there, and no one can see it. Why don’t we …
“Shit …”
Yichen’s heart skipped a beat. In that instant, he had already keenly sensed the murderous aura coming from the two of them. As expected, He Chongtian coldly looked at him. “Xiao Yichen, for the last time, as a disciple of the Righteous Dao of the Profound Sect, if you don’t know how to turn around and are still entangled with the demons of Diabolism, don’t blame us for cleaning up your master’s door here today!”
The murderous intent was getting heavier and heavier. Yi Chen felt it very clearly. These two people actually wanted to kill him to silence him. Now that Master and Martial Uncle were not here, even if he died at the hands of the two of them, no one would know what to do …
“Little brother, what happened today has nothing to do with you. You should leave quickly, lest you lose your life here in vain!”
At this moment, the mother-in-law’s voice came from the sedan chair. Yi Chen’s heart congealed. He recognized her words and immediately retreated to the sedan chair’s door. He said in secret, “Granny, I can’t beat those two. Do you have any way to deal with them?”
“Your cultivation is far inferior to the two of them. When they attack, I will use my profound strength to pierce into your body. You must use my profound strength to guide your moves. Do you understand?”
“Alright, I understand, Granny.”
After the secret discussion was over, Yi Chen didn’t know what Granny was up to. Could it be that she could defeat the two of them just by guiding him to make a move? I can’t care about that much now. Since Granny is confident, I’ll do it myself and say, “Then, the two Martial Uncles just heard that Granny let me go. But since I’m a disciple of the Profound Sect, I can’t let it go. You can’t attack Granny anymore.”
“Humph! Stubborn!” He Chongtian waved his sleeve and said coldly, “Since you insist on being with this Diabolism monster, don’t blame the mercilessness of the sword!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his sword piercing towards Yi Chen. Yi Chen was immediately shocked and hurriedly sent a secret message to the sedan chair, “Granny! Quickly teach me a move!”
Actually, this sword strike was not too fast. It could be said that it was easy for him to dodge. However, the granny in the sedan chair had just told him to follow her guidance and attack. At this moment, he did not know how to receive the attack.
“Don’t panic. Take a palm.”
Suddenly, a strand of profound energy shot out from the sedan chair and pierced into his meridians. Yi Chen instantly sensed the meridians through which the profound energy traveled. He didn’t even have time to think about it. He struck out with his palm as if he was facing an enemy. However, the momentum of this palm was astonishing, causing rocks to fly everywhere. A “bang” sound actually shook He Chongtian back.
What’s going on!
Yi Chen couldn’t help but be shocked. How could his palm strike have increased his strength by more than ten times? Could it be that the mother-in-law injected her power into her body? But it’s not right. If Granny had such strength, she would have directly hit those two people. Why would she need to inject it into her body first? Moreover, the power just now seemed to have come from him, not from his mother-in-law …
“Junior Brother!”
Xu Taichang was also shocked. He never expected that this brat would suddenly have such a profound skill. Impossible! His aura was certain. “Whoosh!” The sword stabbed at him. Yi Chen was shocked again and hurriedly said, “Granny! They’re coming again!”
“Don’t panic, condense your fingers.”
Another strand of profound energy poured into his meridians. Without even thinking about it, Yi Chen flicked his finger and a purple qi shot out. With a “bang”, it was so powerful that the sword in Xu Taichang’s hand was sent flying.
