I Am Really Not The Son of Providence - Chapter 375
Chapter 375: With The Son Of Providence Around, It Will Definitely Be Safe!
“Junior Brother, why do this to yourself?
“I already feel rather ashamed to be raiding tombs for the sacred ground.
“Didn’t expect Junior Brother to be willing to stoop so low with that perverted tortoise, just to get some peerless technique.
“Junior Brother, you are doing way too much for our sacred ground. Junior Brother, I am really very touched!”
Shen Tian clenched his fists as he looked at the blubbering fat Taoist priest.
He forced a smile. “Senior Brother, you misunderstand, I…”
Yue Yunde raised his right hand and promised. “Junior Brother, don’t worry. I know how to keep a secret. No one else will know this except the heavens, you, me, and that damn tortoise!
“If someone else finds out, it will definitely be that damn tortoise who leaked it. It will never be me!
“If I tell someone else, I will be struck by lightning and be unlucky every time I raid tombs!”
Kacha!
Rumble!
The clear sound of lightning and thunder suddenly echoed from nearby.
A wretched cry rang out. It was spine-chilling.
It was clear that someone else had met with danger in the tomb.
Yue Yunde, “…”
Shen Tian, “…”
After taking out some rejuvenation pills and consuming them, Shen Tian said calmly, “Senior Brother, stay here. I will go check things out.”
With that, Shen Tian morphed into a streak of golden light and shot off. He disappeared before Yue Yunde.
“Junior Brother, hurry back. I don’t feel safe without you by my side.”
Yue Yunde called out anxiously as he stared after Shen Tian’s departing profile.
Of course, Shen Tian ignored him.
A conflicted look appeared on Yue Yunde’s face when Shen Tian completely disappeared from sight.
He muttered to himself, “Didn’t expect the condition to learn that damn tortoise’s Electric Shadow Footwork is to do something so perverse. That is just so depraved!
“Junior Brother looks so refined and well-bred, but he is actually so open-minded. One really cannot judge a book by its cover!”
As Yue Yunde muttered on, he didn’t realize a slight wave vibrating through the void around him.
He continued to murmur, “I wonder to what extent is considered enough?
“If I seek out that damn tortoise now, I wonder if he will be willing to teach me?
“Or should I just report to Master and have him capture that damn tortoise and punish him?
“Master thinks so highly of Junior Brother. If he knew that damn tortoise dared to defile him like that, he will definitely…”
Yue Yunde continued to mutter to himself!
Suddenly, his hair stood straight up as he went on high alert.
A highly sensitive instinct to danger cultivated over hundreds of years of tomb raiding had him subconsciously dodge to the side.
Rumble!
A long staff encased in lightning smashed heavily to the ground.
Yue Yunde’s grimy face turned grave.
“Damn! Where did this scoundrel come from? He dared to sneak-attack me!”
The corners of Yue Yunde’s mouth twitched when he saw the black-clad man, who was still half-merged with the void.
He called out, “I am the top tomb raider across the five regions. Provoke me, and I will raid and destroy your ancestral tombs!”
Swoosh!
Before Yue Yunde could finish his sentence, the black-clad man transformed into a shadow and merged into the void.
When he reappeared, he was already standing behind Yue Yunde. He brought his staff down on Yue Yunde’s head.
His attack was not meant to be fatal and did not cause serious injury.
But one would still feel very dizzy from that strike.
“This fellow is so fast. He can merge as one with the void. Don’t tell me he is a member of the assassin clan?”
Yue Yunde was rapidly trying to understand the situation as he scurried around.
But I never raided their tombs before. Why do they want me dead?
That’s not right. Don’t tell me someone has a bounty on my head?
But this fellow doesn’t seem to have the intention to kill. He is just showing off.
His moves are not meant to kill. He is not behaving like an assassin at all!
Nevertheless, does he think he can make me feel threatened just by these elementary moves?
Scoundrel, you are too naive!
Yue Yunde twisted his plump body here and there. He looked very clumsy but managed to nimbly evade all the attacks.
He then took out a small bronze bell. “The boundless skies and earth, the laws of the universe. Activate!”
A massive surge of energy was channeled into the bell, and lines of ancient runes shot out of it toward the black-clad man.
The void started to solidify wherever the runes came in contact with it.
The black-clad man, who had been swimming through the void as agile as a fish, was now forced to emerge. He stood right in front of Yue Yunde.
Meanwhile, the little bronze bell suddenly morphed into a green barrier, completely trapping the black-clad man.
“You didn’t expect this, right? I have a supreme-grade Sage artifact. The Universe Trapping Bell. Especially effective for counteracting your kind of void skills!” Yue Yunde crowed smugly. “Just wait till my Junior Brother gets back. You will be finished then.”
…
A streak of golden light suddenly flashed past.
Shen Tian appeared in front of Yue Yundei in his Longyuan Divine Armor and golden wings.
Yue Yunde’s smile widened. His chubby cheeks were all smushed upwards. “Junior Brother, you are finally back! This scoundrel has ill intentions toward us! I have already trapped him. Hurry up and hammer him with that big hammer of yours. Let’s capture him and bring him back to Master. We might get a huge reward!”
He looked smugly at the black-clad man. “Just you wait. You are dead meat!”
Duang!
In the next second, Yue Yunde felt a mild vibration at the back of his head. Suddenly, it all went black for him.
The corners of Shen Tian’s lips twitched slightly as he gazed upon the collapsed Yue Yunde. “Senior Brother, don’t blame me.”
He thought that he would never have a use for the supreme-grade Forgetting Pill which his Master had given him. But it seemed like there was a first time for everything.
After taking out a pill, Shen Tian stuffed it into Yue Yunde’s mouth. He finally heaved a sigh of relief.
My reputation will remain clear now!
Shen Tian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he gazed down upon the slumbering Yue Yunde, who was still muttering in his sleep about which tomb to raid next.
Why did Master accept this fellow as his first disciple?
Following that, Shen Tian turned to look at the black-clad man. “According to Senior Brother, this Golden Crow Thearch’s tomb is not that simple. There might be some special booby traps.”
The black-clad man replied calmly, “Well, in all great stories, the lead character will always meet with some challenging situation. Of course there will be something going on in this Golden Crow Thearch’s tomb!”
Shen Tian nodded. “Regardless, we must inform everyone!”
Shen Tian didn’t hope to see his Divine Firmament comrades come to any harm just because of him.
They were his golden geese… er… comrades!
…
While carrying the unconscious Yue Yunde, Shen Tian executed the Electric Shadow Footwork and hurried back to Fang Chang and the rest.
It was worth mentioning that after listening to Shen Tian’s “edited” version of his earlier adventure, Qi Shaoxuan, Fang Chang, and Zhang Yunxi all expressed their unwillingness to withdraw from the tomb.
The reason was very simple. They believed that Shen Tian was the true Son of Providence.
Everyone felt that as long as Shen Tian was with them during the training…
It would definitely be safe!
