Misty Rain of the Old Times

The two people fighting below were still in a stalemate, and it had been several breaths. It was purely a competition of strength to see who would give up first.

This kind of competition has no technical content at all and is the most dangerous. Once one side can't hold on, the winner is decided. It is very likely to be a matter of life and death. Moreover, if there is interference from a third party, there will be no time to take care of anything else.

In Chen Xuan's opinion, this was a bit stupid. He just wanted to kill them directly. It made him feel anxious for them just by looking at them.

Anyway, he just wants to watch the fun and make trouble.

Over the years, he seldom fought with others, and his victories were almost always one-sided and neat. Even Liu Zhenwei was killed instantly by him using the Star-Bearing Sword. The only time he used a few more moves on the black-robed man he met when he went north was because his cultivation was not high at that time, and secondly, he wanted to accumulate experience.

Later I thought about it and it was not interesting at all. He liked to bully weak players. Bullying weak players felt good for a while, and he would keep bullying weak players. It was tiring to think about it after fighting with others for a long time.

He likes to bully others, but doesn't like to be bullied by others. He hopes that day will never come. He still has to keep improving his combat power. It must be said that Chen Xuan also brought his fear of insufficient firepower from his hometown.

"Hmph, I was careless. You have some skills. I have never suffered such a loss. Next time, I will be serious and you will be in trouble!" The woman in blue was swung by Chen Xuan's sleeve and flew dozens of feet like a top. She stood on a stone tablet and snorted coldly.

Chen Xuan didn't even bother to look at her. You were careless. Why didn't you say you didn't dodge?

She did try to dodge, but she just didn't get out of the way.

I have shown mercy to you and can send you flying with a wave of my hand. Isn't the gap between the two sides obvious enough? I am afraid that you have been spoiled for a long time and have no idea what is happening.

There are many people like this. They always think that they are the most special ones. When an accident happens, they don’t think it is because of their lack of cultivation, but because of their carelessness and the insidiousness of others.

As she spoke, she flew into the air again and attacked Chen Xuan, not even in the mood to watch the battle below.

When she attacked again, she had shown her true ability. Her body was as fast as a startled wild goose, and the sky-blue innate true energy rose. In a flash, more than ten figures appeared like clones, each of which looked real. Some were slapping, punching, or kicking, surrounding Chen Xuan on the top of the tower, attacking from all directions, trying to take him down in one fell swoop to restore her face.

Although the woman was furious, she had no intention of killing. Her only purpose was to teach Chen Xuan a lesson. She still had some bottom line and did not take human life seriously by always shouting for war and killing.

Fortunately, she had no intention to kill, otherwise the person would be dead. Chen Xuan didn't care whether the other person was a girl or not, or whether she was pretty or not. He didn't care if someone wanted to kill him. He would kill anyone who did so.

"Oh, this body movement is quite interesting, quite beautiful, but are you done yet? Can you please stop disturbing me?" Chen Xuan was still lying in that lazy position, looking down, and making jokes at a very fast speed, almost saying "flowery fox whistle".

As he spoke, he was still muttering in his heart, "Girl, please be more careful. Don't you feel tired when you start to move those two big lumps on your chest shaking? Can't you just sit there and watch? I just asked you to move out of my view. After all, I was here first. I didn't say that I can't let you come here because I'm here. It's not my house."

The woman was extremely angry. Chen Xuan's words sounded particularly harsh to her. "What do you mean by 'good-looking'? Do you think I'm kidding you? Humph, I'll make you look good right away!"

She had already realized that Chen Xuan was no simple man, but she also left some room for maneuver and was ready to hold back her strength at any time. It was just a verbal conflict and it wouldn't be a life-and-death fight. She had no intention of beating Chen Xuan to death, but that mouth was really irritating, so she just wanted to beat him until he was pissing and running.

A strong wind blew, and her phantom-like body movements were no match for Chen Xuan. He could tell which one was the real her without even looking at her. He casually raised his hand and pressed towards her through the air. The woman who was approaching quickly was less than two meters away from him. Her face suddenly changed drastically, and she felt the air around her become extremely sticky, as if a terrifying mountain was pressing on her. She could not move at all, and fell to the top of the tower with a look of horror on her face.

What kind of trick was this? Without any internal energy fluctuations, he could only raise his hand and press lightly through the air, and he could hardly move!
"Who are you?" the woman cried out in surprise. She was a little scared now.

Chen Xuan didn't even look at her, still watching with relish what was happening below. The outcome was about to be decided there, and he casually said, "Who do you care who I am? I don't know you anyway. Do you think you have to treat me to a meal? Sit down and be quiet. If you disturb me again, I'll spank you."

The woman gritted her teeth, her expression changing from gloomy to bright. Upon hearing this, she snorted with disdain, "Bah, vile, shameless!"

"What you said is so vulgar. If I were really vulgar, you wouldn't know what position you are in now. Didn't you see that I don't even want to touch you? But shut up. Oh my god, what a sudden turn of events", he said, looking at Chen Xuan below and glaring slightly. The situation below was indeed beyond his expectations.

Chen Xuan was just a talker, used to talking without restraint, not as hypocritical as others. In fact, he really had no bad intentions, and he was not really teasing the girl. Even though such frivolous words seemed a bit excessive to many people here, he was just that kind of person and did not care about other people's opinions.

As a person, just be happy. If you always accommodate others, who will accommodate you? If you don't like others, just don't play with them.

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pressed it casually, and the woman sat down like a duck a few meters away from the top of the tower, staring at Chen Xuan in disbelief, her whole body dazed.

With such skills, this person looks so young, how could his cultivation be so terrifying, he can subdue me with just wind pressure, could it be that his strength is comparable to the top innate masters?

If that's the case, then my defeat wasn't unfair. But where did he come from? Why hadn't I heard of such a young master before? Logically speaking, at such an age and with such a level of cultivation, it was the time for him to make a name for himself. Just like me, I worked hard for many years to reach the level of innateness, and now I came to the capital to show my skills and become famous. However, I failed and before I could even start to make a name for myself, I was hit so hard.

She opened her mouth to say something, but in order to prevent her from affecting him, Chen Xuan pressed her acupoints from a distance, including the mute point. The poor girl suddenly became speechless and unable to move.

But Chen Xuan did all this so easily and didn't even pay attention to her, which was a bit scary.

There was no time to pay attention to him. Chen Xuan was stunned by the sudden turn of events. He saw the two men, who had been locked in a stalemate, competing in cultivation. The old monk had originally possessed a higher level of cultivation, and although the opponent's swordsmanship was fierce, he had been able to withstand it. However, when the opponent's subsequent strength was weakening and he could no longer hold on, he suddenly dropped his defense, allowing the opponent's unstoppable sword to pierce his chest with a "whoosh".

The old monk still stood still, his clothes stained red with blood on his chest. His vitality was rapidly dissipating, but he could not die for the time being. Even though his heart was pierced, his cultivation foundation was there, and his vitality was tenacious, so he could hold on for a while. Unless someone who was extremely good at healing helped him protect his heart meridian in time, or a master like Chen Xuan took action, he would definitely not survive.

He is obviously seeking death.

With such a turn of events, not only Chen Xuan was stunned for a moment, but many of the onlookers around him were dumbfounded. Even the black-clad swordsman who pierced his heart with a sword looked incredible. He stood there in that posture, probably never thinking that he could really kill the other person with one sword.

"Why?" The swordsman asked subconsciously while holding the hilt of his sword and looking at the old monk whose clothes were stained with blood.

Blood oozed from the corner of the old monk's mouth, but he remained standing steadily. With a compassionate smile on his face, he spoke weakly, "Sir, your great revenge has been achieved. Isn't this exactly what you wanted? I know my sins are grave, and dying at your sword is what I deserve. Are you satisfied?"

"Infinite World Honored One," the monks behind the old monk chanted the Buddha's name with emotion on their faces, as if they had expected such an outcome.

The swordsman loosened his grip and staggered back two steps. In an instant, his spirit was gone, as if he had lost the goal he had been holding on to. He looked blankly and said, "Why... why don't you resist? I have practiced hard for many years just for revenge, and now I am just a joke. It shouldn't be like this..."

This person is really interesting. You want to kill someone, and they ask you to kill them, but you are unhappy. Seeing this, Chen Xuan was speechless.

The old monk slowly sat down cross-legged, letting the long sword pierce his chest. He raised his head slightly and looked at the swordsman calmly, saying, "If you had come to seek revenge on me thirty years ago, I would have killed you. Twenty years ago, I would have defeated you but not killed you, allowing you to seek revenge on me at any time. If you had come ten years ago, I would have accepted death calmly, just like I am now. In the past ten years, I have long been indifferent to life and death. The sins I committed must be repaid, and now I have fulfilled my wish."

"You... shouldn't have died like this. Death would have been a relief, but what about the fact that more than 30 members of my family died under your butcher knife? You are extremely sinful and have committed countless murders in the Frosty Month. Now you are here to practice Buddhism. Do you want to lay down your butcher knife and become a Buddha right away?" The swordsman staggered back and said in a lost voice.

So he was from Shimotsuki Country? No wonder they'd never heard of or seen such a swordsman. Many onlookers suddenly realized, looking at the old monk whose vitality was rapidly fading. This man, too, had a story to tell. Had he come to his senses and become a monk to atone for his sins? It was truly karma. After hiding for decades, he was still found by his enemies and died a miserable death.

The old monk clasped his hands together and said calmly, "Infinite World Honored One, I have killed no fewer than a thousand people at my hands. My crimes are monstrous. How dare they hope to enter the Pure Land and pollute the Buddha's kingdom? After death, they will be sent to the eighteen levels of hell and will never be reborn. If you are still not satisfied, feel free to do whatever you want. You can cut me into pieces."

"Hahaha, what a joke! Why didn't you have this realization when you started the bloody storm back then?" the swordsman said a little crazily.

Lowering his head slightly, the old monk said with an increasingly weak breath, "You were young and ignorant. When the consequences of evil came upon you, it was too late to regret. Only when your wife and children died tragically before your eyes did you understand the pain of others. Only then did I realize how ridiculous the arrogance and pleasure you pursued was."

"So you had such a tragic experience, you deserved it. Why didn't you just sit there and wait for death before?" The swordsman asked gritting his teeth.

The old monk said in a weak voice, almost inaudible, "If I don't let you vent your anger, how can you feel the satisfaction of revenge? Besides, I am responsible for my own actions. I have lived in vain for many years and it is not right. How can I bring harm to innocent people?"

"Then aren't you worried that after I kill you, I'll massacre the Qingquan Temple to vent my anger? Say something," the swordsman said with red eyes.

But at this time the old monk had already died, his eyes were closed and he could no longer speak.

The swordsman staggered and fell to the ground, his eyes red and tears streaming. He seemed extremely painful even though he had avenged his great hatred. Killing the other person with all his strength and letting the other person die voluntarily are two different things. Different results lead to different mentality.

Chen Xuan, who had witnessed the entire process, was completely speechless. And it ended so dramatically? This was ridiculous.

Things like grudges in the martial arts world are a mess that cannot be sorted out. Chen Xuan is just a spectator of life and death, and his heart is calm.

At this time, all the monks of Qingquan Temple were sitting cross-legged and chanting scriptures in a low voice.

The matter was over. Several innate masters from the Forbidden Martial Arts Division exchanged a glance and surrounded the bewildered swordsman. One of them said, "Regardless of your grudges, you have launched a war in a strategic area of ​​the capital without authorization. Have you reported it? This has caused a huge disturbance, and the losses must be settled. Come with us. If you are not from our Jing Kingdom, you may need your envoy to come forward."

The swordsman remained unmoved and was still in deep confusion. He allowed the people from the Forbidden Martial Arts Department to come forward and escort him without any resistance.

The blood feud that this person had been holding on to was finally avenged, and his anger had dissipated.

Seeing that man was about to be taken away by the Forbidden Martial Arts Division, Chen Xuan became anxious. He borrowed my precious sword and broke it. I haven't settled the score yet. He immediately jumped down and said, "Wait a minute, let me make it clear first, I'm not causing trouble. He just took my sword away, and it's broken into several sections. I need an explanation for this, right? It's very expensive."

He ran down, and the woman who was acupunctured became even more anxious. "Hey, have you forgotten me? I won't bother you anymore, but please untie me."

Everyone around was dumbfounded. Could it be that this young man, relying on his skills, couldn't understand the situation? The Forbidden Martial Arts Department arrested someone, and you have the right to interfere?
But some people also reacted and said, yes, where is my sword? I bought it at a high price, and someone has stepped forward. This matter is not over yet!

Then people gathered around, and for a moment the swordsman became the target of public criticism. The people from the Forbidden Martial Arts Department were also stunned. They had never encountered such a situation before. If there were only one or two, they could have forcibly dealt with them, but now there were so many innate masters around that they couldn't count them on both hands, which was a headache.

They looked at Chen Xuan speechlessly. What kind of trouble are you making? (End of this chapter)
