"I say, that Daoist, what are you mumbling about …"
A head popped out from the other side of the broken tea shed. It was a middle-aged man in his fifties. Seeing that Ku Daoshi wasn't thinking of running away and was muttering to himself, he couldn't help but be a busybody. "You can't walk anymore? Come, I'll carry you on my back. Let's run away quickly in case those fiends come again … "While saying that, he broke the shed and pulled the ascetic Taoist out from his hiding place without any explanation. He threw the ascetic Taoist onto his back and broke into a run.
Ku Daoshi was also stunned. It took him a while to wake up from his lightning-fast state. He realized that this person was an independent cultivator in the Insight State. This level of cultivation wasn't bad, but he was scared out of his wits by the cavalry of Swallow Fort. Even so, seeing that he was in trouble, he didn't hesitate to lend a helping hand. He was a righteous person.
"Then, cough cough … how should I address that kind person? I'm from the lineage of Celestial Master Huang, and my name is Ku. People call me Ku Daoshi … Let me say this first. Although you saved my life, I don't have the money to treat you to a meal."
"Hahaha …" The man laughed out loud, but he quickly stopped and said in a low voice, "You're a very open-minded Daoist! I'm Situ Liang, and I'm making a living in the hunting ground with some kids. "
Ku Daoshi said, "So it's Headhunter Situ. Sorry for not recognizing you."
Situ Liang smiled and said, "You Daoist, there's no respect in your words at all."
Ku Daoshi also smiled, but he suddenly stopped. He touched his waist and turned pale with fright. "Oh no, I dropped my flute."
Situ Liang was stunned. He went to a col and put Ku Daoshi down. "Was it there just now? I'll go get it for you. Wait a moment. "He didn't say anything and used his movement technique to run back.
He carefully avoided the Blazing Flame Legion's line of sight and returned to his previous position. He lifted the tattered canopy and found an old flute. He took it and put it away. Just as he was about to escape, he suddenly felt a terrifying gaze on him. He felt his scalp go numb as if it was about to explode. Even when he faced the most ferocious Star Meteor Beasts in the hunting grounds, he had never felt this way.
Two people suddenly appeared in front of him. One of them was about the same age as him, and his clothes were very similar to that of a restaurant owner. His body was somewhat translucent, and he looked like a ghost. He didn't feel threatened by this person at all. The danger came from another direction. From her figure and attire, she should be a young woman. She wore a pale Asura mask on her face. Her small hand was pressing on the hilt of the sword at her waist. Such a simple action caused his eyelids to twitch incessantly.
"I'll see you off here." The middle aged man glanced at Situ Liang and turned to leave. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and frowned. With a "xiu" sound, his body flashed and arrived at the woman's side, pressing down on her sword that was about to be unsheathed.
The woman tilted her head slightly. He shook his head, "You can't kill these two people." With that, he led the woman away.
The feeling that Situ Liang's heart was about to jump out of his chest suddenly disappeared. When he heard that the woman said two people, he subconsciously looked behind him, but he didn't see anything. He was a bit confused. When he returned to the valley, he saw Ku Daoshi excitedly rushing over and snatching the flute from his hands: "Great, great, this is the most valuable thing on this poor Daoist!"
"You Daoist …" Situ Liang was so angry that he couldn't say anything. Just now, when he saw Ku Daoshi's anxious expression, he thought that the flute was very important. Because of his rough method of pulling it out, it was very likely that the flute had fallen, so he went to retrieve it regardless of the danger. But it turned out that it was because of its value. If he had known earlier, he would have just taken some money as compensation. Risking his life was really not worth it.
"Little brother Situ, thank you, hehe …" Ku Daoshi hugged the flute as if it was a treasure.
The two came to a wine shop, and Situ Liang was not stingy.
Situ Liang wasn't stingy and ordered a lot of wine to drink with them. He heard many angry words, all of which were accusing Swallow Fort. Many of them were discussing how to kill their way back, but there were very few who actually dared to do it. After Swallow Fort chased them out, the wine shops and tea shops that weren't in good locations became very popular.
Situ Liang had some resentment towards Swallow Fort, but he was chased out because he was not as skilled as them, so there was nothing he could say. He said to Ku Daoshi: "Which mountain is the Daoist hanging up? I see that you aren't a cultivator, so how dare you come here to join in the fun? If you aren't careful, you might lose your life."
Ku Daoshi was a bit drunk and hiccupped: "Uh … Little brother Situ, I, Ku Daoshi, have been poor my entire life, and have never met a good person like you. You saved my life and treated me to a meal, this poor Daoist will repay you, repay you … uh …"
"Hahaha …" Situ Liang laughed loudly, "My hands are stained with a lot of blood, and I've also killed dozens of people. I definitely can't be considered a good person. Forget about the repayment, I don't want to be left out. Just now, all the people who drank with me ran away. It wasn't easy to find a Daoist like you, I won't let you go. Come, continue drinking … "
"Drink, drink …"
After drinking two large jars of wine, Ku Daoshi seemed to be really drunk. He slammed his head on the table and fell asleep.
Situ Liang's eyes were always clear and bright, but at this moment, they revealed a lot of guilt. With a wave of his hand, a needle appeared between his fingers, and he quickly pierced it towards Ku Daoshi's temple.
"Hidden Mountain Sect's Five Poison Needle. If you are pierced in the head, you will immediately become an idiot."
The needle stopped, because Situ Liang's hand was already grabbed.
Ku Daoshi had already sat up, and he stared at Situ Liang with a sharp gaze.
Situ Liang's mouth was filled with bitterness, and his face was wrinkled. "When did you notice …"
"You disguised yourself too well, as if it was real." Li Ku said in a mocking manner. "But it was because you were too good that it became your weakness. Moreover, even Zhou Siqu could tell that someone from Hidden Mountain Sect was hiding in your shadow. You guys are looking down on me, Li Ku, too much! "
Zhou Siqu, Li Ku.
These two names made Situ Liang's heart feel like it was going to shatter. He said in shock, "That person is Hidden Spirit Sovereign? And your distinguished self, your distinguished self is actually … Senior Li Ku … "
Li Ku said fiercely, "You guys are quite daring. I already let you guys go, yet you still dare to provoke me!"
Situ Liang sighed and said, "I will let senior know that I definitely did not collude with that crown prince. It was him who captured my wife and daughter, forcing me to do this. My, Situ Liang's, personality has always been like this. I definitely do not pretend, or else how could I have the chance to approach … "Before he finished speaking, a sword pierced through the air, slicing towards his throat.
"Heng!" Li Ku's expression was ice-cold, not showing any intention of interfering at all.
"Senior, save me …" Situ Liang's expression immediately became incomparably gloomy and despairing.
The sword paused slightly, as if it was probing Ku Daoshi. Seeing that the latter really did not have any intention of saving him, it was about to slash over.
However, right at this time, Li Ku moved again. That sword was clamped down by his sword fingers, unable to move at all.
"Come out." He said coldly.
"Li Ku, you took my junior's arm, pay with your life!" Under the dim light of the oil lamp, Situ Liang's shadow suddenly twisted into the shape of a sword, thrusting towards Ku Daoshi's face.
Li Ku sneered. His sword fingers exerted a bit of force, and the sword's edge immediately snapped, stabbing into the shadow. With a peng sound, the shadow released a miserable cry, splitting from Situ Liang's shadow.
It quickly fled into the curtain of rain.
"Thank, thank you senior …" Situ Liang had just calmed down from his fright, his hands trembling as he poured wine, as if he wanted to use wine to calm himself. The wine he poured out suddenly turned into a water sword, stabbing into his throat with a pu sound.
"Wu …" He looked at Li Ku in shock.
Li Ku frowned and said, "It wasn't me."
"Gugu …" Situ Liang muttered, as if he wanted to leave behind some last words, but nothing came out. His corpse fell towards Ku Daoshi's direction.
No one could survive after having their throat pierced, so there was naturally no one who would be on guard against this type of corpse. However, it was precisely this type of corpse that suddenly exploded with a peng sound, flesh and blood flying in all directions. Li Ku couldn't help but be hit head-on.
Li Ku's expression suddenly changed. The flesh and blood were actually poisonous, he couldn't move anymore.
The unaffiliated cultivators who were originally drinking all simultaneously stopped their drinking movements. Xiu xiu xiu, shrill sounds of air being torn apart immediately sounded. In that instant, Li Ku's body was struck by seventeen swords, twenty-one hidden weapons, and thirty-five body destroying divine abilities.
There was no one in this world who could survive under this type of situation. If there was, then they weren't human. Li Ku's aura disappeared bit by bit. His eyes were widened, unable to close in peace.
"Hahaha, a stinky bug like you finally died!" Ji Wuyu walked into the wine shop with large steps, releasing a sinister laugh while looking at Li Ku's corpse. When he thought about how he was previously forced into a dead end by this bastard, only barely able to escape by relying on water escape, but was then captured and abused by the Heavenly Silkworm, suffering as much as he could imagine, he felt great hatred. He kicked away the table that was pressing against Li Ku's corpse, and then stepped on his corpse. "Murderous devil king, mortal realm divine sword immortal, so what? You didn't expect me to dare provoke you, right? That's why dying under my, Ji Wuyu's hands isn't an injustice at all. Hahaha, you even more so didn't expect that I placed explosive bugs and zombie poison on Situ Liang's body … "
"Your highness, this place isn't suitable to stay for long …" The Hidden Mountain Five Swords mysteriously appeared.
"You're right, just leave his corpse here to feed the wild dogs. When we return this time, let's see who still dares question this crown prince!" Ji Wuyu's mood was great. After a simple search of Li Ku's corpse, he led everyone away.
The torrential rain separated the wine shop from the outside world. No one knew what happened here.
The curtain of rain was suddenly separated. The middle-aged man stood in the void with his hands behind his back, saying indifferently, "Someone like you, what is the point of putting on this play?"
Inside the wine shop, Li Ku who originally couldn't be more dead was actually sitting there in perfect condition, holding a wine jar and drinking heartily. His entire face was wrinkled. "There are ten bitterness in life, bitterness of old age, bitterness of sickness, bitterness of death, bitterness of poverty, bitterness of love, bitterness of hate, bitterness of resentment, bitterness of worry, bitterness of desire, bitterness of desire …" Following each word of bitterness, an indescribable feeling would be added to the wine shop. In the end, the entire wine shop was filled with a terrifying aura, as if it was an eternal hell that couldn't be reincarnated.
"Sigh, in this world, there really aren't many opponents who can make you become serious." The middle-aged man said. He gave the thick dark clouds a look.
At the entrance of Lightning Mountain, when the several dozen disciples guarding the mountain saw that Swallow Dock's people were actually this daring, they wanted to slaughter their way up and teach these lower realm bumpkins an unforgettable lesson. However, that purple-haired black blade figure really gave off a type of indescribable terror, making them couldn't help but stop their steps. Even they didn't lack the passion to shed blood for their sect.
There was just this type of person in this world. Regardless of what their background was, where they came from, where they wanted to go, as long as they appeared, they would become the focal point of everyone's attention. Their every movement would tug at everyone's heartstrings, their words and actions would also be imitated by countless people.
