Clatter, clatter, clatter!
Just as everyone was enjoying themselves, a strange sound came from the lake in the north. It sounded like a high-level martial artist sprinting across the water.
When Xiao Chen heard the sound, the smile on his face slowly turned serious. His sharp eyes suddenly shot to the north, but because his line of sight was blocked by the bamboo forest, he could not see who it was. He said in surprise, "Could it be that a new enemy has come? Or is it Da Huang's doing? "
Swoosh!
Xiao Haoran flew several hundred feet into the air and looked up. When he saw a familiar old man, a smile bloomed on his stern face as he said loudly, "It's not an enemy, nor is it Da Huang. It's Elder Killer. He sure is slow. Did something happen on his way here? Hehe. "
"So, it's Grandpa Killer. Haha! I'll welcome him. " When he heard that Heaven's Burial Killer was here, Xiao Chen let his guard down and laughed happily. He even took the initiative to welcome Heaven's Burial Killer. It was as if he learned that his long-awaited grandfather was coming. He was overjoyed.
When Liu Ruyue, Zhu Qingmei, and Dongfang Qingwu saw that Xiao Chen was going to welcome Heaven's Burial Killer, they exchanged glances and followed behind Xiao Chen at the same time. Since Xiao Chen respected Heaven's Burial Killer so much, as Xiao Chen's women, Liu Ruyue and the other two women naturally had to respect Heaven's Burial Killer as well.
To be honest, Heaven's Burial Killer deserved Xiao Chen's and Zhu Qingmei's respect. If he had not fought the Black Magic Pavilion's Fifth Elder with all his might during the battle in the bamboo forest valley, Xiao Chen, Zhu Qingmei, and hundreds of Zhu Meitang's sisters would have died in the hands of the Black Magic Pavilion's powerhouses.
A drop of gratitude could be repaid with a gushing spring, let alone a favor as heavy as a mountain.
Based on that battle alone, killing Buried Heaven was enough to win the respect of Xiao Chen and the girls. It was not an exaggeration to call him Grandpa Killer. Now, it was only right that Xiao Chen and the girls went to welcome him.
"Yufeng, let's go too." Xue Wuhen pulled Ouyang Yufeng's hand and walked towards the northern shore of the island.
Not long after, Xiao Chen and the others arrived at the open space on the northern shore of the small island. Their gazes all looked towards the lake, and they immediately discovered a one-armed, thin, white-haired old man running on the water.
"You …"
The old man was originally in a hurry and had a worried look on his face. However, when he saw the people waiting for him at the shore of the lake, he could not help but be slightly stunned. He thought to himself, "Isn't there a strong enemy attacking? Could it be that all of you are standing to welcome this old man?
Suddenly, Sha Zang Tian's gaze locked onto Xiao Chen's face. The most brilliant smile immediately blossomed on his worried, aged face as he exclaimed, "Xiao Chen, you're back? That was great! Haha! That's great! If you can make it back in time, that bastard Blood Hangman won't even dare to show his face. He'll be scared to death! Hahaha! "
"Grandpa Sha …"
Xiao Chen felt Sha Zang Tian's heartfelt joy when he saw him. It was as if he had seen his own grandfather. He was very touched and wanted to shout and laugh loudly to express his joy. However, when he saw Sha Zang Tian's empty left arm, he could not feel happy anymore. Instead, his heart was extremely heavy.
Xiao Chen's heart was heavy not only because Sha Zang Tian had lost an arm, but also because he thought of another hot-tempered old man who was as kind as Sha Zang Tian — Hot-Tempered Tian. Unfortunately, he would never be able to see Hot-Tempered Tian again because Hot-Tempered Tian had already died in the second great battle with the Black Magic Pavilion.
Hot-Tempered Tian was also a person worthy of respect. He dared to stand on the opposite side of the Black Magic Pavilion. He was not afraid of evil, did not fear power, and had the courage to fight. He was not afraid of life and death. Such a spirit was the spirit of the top martial artists of the Wilderness God Continent.
Therefore, although Hot-Tempered Tian died, he lived. Although he was defeated, he was still honorable. He was the greatest warrior, worthy of the respect and remembrance of the martial artists and mortals of the continent.
"Hahaha!"
While Xiao Chen was reminiscing about Hot-Tempered Tian with a heavy heart, Sha Zang Tian stepped across the lake and jumped onto the small island. He then stretched out his only hand and excitedly grabbed Xiao Chen's hand.
When Xiao Chen saw that Sha Zang Tian had aged a lot, he felt even worse. He had the urge to cry, but in the end, he held back his tears. He did not let Sha Zang Tian grab his hand. Instead, he opened his arms and gave the skinny Sha Zang Tian a bear hug.
Then, he said excitedly, "Grandpa Sha, I am very happy to see you again. In the past, you protected Xiao Chen. From now on, Xiao Chen will protect you!"
"This … Xiao Chen, you will protect me?" Sha Zang Tian was stunned by Xiao Chen's intimate actions and words. He did not react for a moment and was at a loss for what to do. Then, he was deeply moved by Xiao Chen's kindness. His eyes became wet without him realizing it. He subconsciously used his only hand to pat Xiao Chen's sturdy back and said in relief, "Good, good.
Our Xiao Chen has completely grown up. You can protect Grandpa now. Grandpa is so happy, so relieved, so touched. Grandpa believes that you can do it. Sob, sob, why am I crying? It's so embarrassing, sob … "
Sha Zang Tian, the iron-willed old man, had almost never cried in his life. The first time he cried was when he heard that the Sha family had been exterminated by a mysterious evil woman. The second time he cried was when Hot-Tempered Tian was killed. Now, he was so moved by Xiao Chen's kindness that he cried. Furthermore, he cried like a child.
When Xiao Haoran and the others saw the touching scene before them, they were extremely touched. They secretly gave Xiao Chen two thumbs up. Knowing gratitude and not forgetting one's roots was the most basic character and quality that a man with an indomitable spirit should have.
Sha Zang Tian cried for a while and realized that he had lost his composure. He hurriedly struggled out of Xiao Chen's embrace and wiped away the tears on his face. He looked around at the crowd and revealed an ugly smile. He said embarrassedly, "This old man has made a fool of himself in front of everyone. Hehe, hehe …"
"Sha Zang, no one is laughing at you. It's human nature. If it were me, I would also be moved by Xiao Chen's words and actions." Xiao Haoran waved his hand and said disapprovingly.
"Yes, Brother Xiao is right. If you want to cry, just cry. Actually, I also want to cry." Xue Wuhen said in agreement. He even pretended to cry. He was more good-looking than a beautiful woman. When he pretended to cry, he was still shockingly beautiful.
"This guy … his appearance is really good."
Xiao Haoran was blinded by Xue Wuhen's expression. He could not help but sigh, "Brother Xue, what a pity. But you are not a girl. If you were a girl, you would definitely be the most beautiful woman in the world!"
"Ah?" Xue Wuhen was slightly stunned. He immediately reacted and pretended to be fierce as he said, "Brother Xiao, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I am a man. What does that have to do with the most beautiful woman in the world? If you speak nonsense again, we will not be brothers anymore. Humph!"
"Brother Xue, don't be angry. Just take it that I said something wrong, okay? I will apologize. Hahaha! " Xiao Haoran was very cooperative with Xue Wuhen's acting. However, towards the end, he could not help but burst out laughing. All his previous efforts were in vain.
"Hahaha!"
"Hehehe!"
Everyone laughed. The touching atmosphere suddenly disappeared without a trace. It became funny and lively.
After laughing, Sha Zang Tian glanced in the direction of the island and asked Xiao Haoran doubtfully, "Leader, didn't the news say that the upper echelons of the Black Magic Pavilion came to the island? Also, when I was on the way, I heard loud sounds of battle coming from the direction of the island. Where are the enemies? Could they have been defeated or killed by you? "
"You are right. When Blood Hangman brought three Dark Guards to harm Yufeng and the other three women, Brother Xue and I arrived in time and fought with Blood Hangman and the other three. Brother Xue killed two of the Dark Guards, but I lost to Blood Hangman. Just as we were about to die, Xiao Chen, Da Huang, Xiao Sha, and Jin Peng returned …"
Xiao Haoran told Sha Zang Tian everything that had happened after he and Xue Wuheng had arrived on the small island in great detail. He did not exaggerate or downplay the details. Instead, he told Sha Zang Tian exactly what had happened. However, Sha Zang Tian was still dumbfounded. His expression kept changing and his heart raced. He was nearly scared to death.
"It has only been three months, and Xiao Chen's cultivation has reached the peak of the Heavenly Dragon Realm?!" After listening to Xiao Haoran's story, Sha Zang Tian sized up Xiao Chen with his eyes wide open. It was as if Xiao Chen was not a human but a monster. After confirming Xiao Chen's cultivation, he believed Xiao Haoran's words and continued to say emotionally, "Da Huang has also become a grade-8 Beast King.
"Also, Big Yellow has also become an eighth-grade beast king, which is also very amazing. Little Sha is even more amazing, improving his strength in battle. The most amazing thing is Big Yellow's father, a wisp of the holy beast remnant soul actually killed Blood Hangman and seriously injured the Black Demon Pavilion's Venerable. Xiao Chen, you just said that you would protect this old guy, and now I completely believe you, hahaha!"
"Grandpa Sha, you don't have to praise us." Xiao Chen looked respectfully at Sha Zangtian, who was still in shock. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Sha Zangtian respectfully. Under everyone's shocked gaze, he said solemnly,
