Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 57 Old man, may you rest in peace.

In the center of the open space, looking at the old man on the ground covered in blood, yet still maintaining a calm smile on his lips, Zhao Zhen opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, it only turned into a long sigh.

At the same time, the Lu family patriarch and Lin Feng, the sect leader of Liuyun Sword Sect, who had been standing by and watching, exchanged a glance.

"Is there anyone else who wants to settle the score with this demon?"

With Lin Feng's loud shout, everyone present looked at each other and eventually shook their heads.

They had all taken turns venting their anger, but there were so many sects present, yet there was only one Golden Light Master.

Given that no one can possibly "own" this extraordinary person, this situation is already the most reasonable way to distribute the resources.

"Since there's no one else, Brother Lü, you can do this last one."

After saying that, Lin Feng also turned his gaze to the head of the Lü family behind him.

"Brother Lin, are you not planning to make a move?" The head of the Lü family looked at Lin Feng with some doubt.

"No need. Killing him in this state would only dirty my sword," Lin Feng said coldly.

"In that case, thank you for your concession, Brother Lin."

The head of the Lü family clasped his hands in a fist salute, and then slowly walked up to Duan Chuan.

"Duan Chuan, it's been a long time."

Duan Chuan was already seriously injured and had no strength left to speak.

So when greeted by the head of the Lü family, he could only force a smile.

"To be honest, I've thought many times about how to kill you after I catch you to avenge my brother, but I never expected it to end like this."

After saying that, the head of the Lü family also let out a long sigh.

"You old devil, you've committed countless evil deeds throughout your life, and countless people have died at your hands. Yet, someone like you not only took on such an excellent disciple in your old age, but you even had a profound enlightenment on the verge of death."

The head of the Lü family looked up at the sky and sighed, "How unjust Heaven is..."

Duan Chuan didn't speak, but with the last bit of strength in his body, he knelt down at the feet of the Lu family patriarch.

"Feel sorry……"

His voice was faint, but it still reached the ears of the head of the Lü family clearly.

"Hehe, so be it. If you can choose to end your life's sins in this way, I, Lü Wen, will think more highly of you."

You owe the Lü family your life, and you owe everyone here. You'll have to repay that debt with your old life.

From this day forward, Duan Chuan and my Lü family will have no further enmity.

boom!
A muffled thud suddenly rang out in the silent open space.

Upon hearing the muffled sound, Zhao Zhen slowly closed his eyes.

He knew that was the sound of the Lu family patriarch shattering the old man's heart with his Ruyi Force.

As expected, after the head of the Lü family turned and left without looking back, Duan Chuan's body fell straight down.

"Old man, may you rest in peace. This time, I really have to say goodnight to you..."

thump~
Zhao Zhen struck the gong loudly, signaling the end of the ceremony.

Beside him, Wang Yaozu stared blankly at Duan Chuan's corpse lying on the ground, remaining silent for a long time.

"Tsk, what a tragedy, the Venerable One ultimately couldn't last even an hour..." Yuan Jingui sighed.

"Hey, Zhao Zhen is really cold-blooded. His own master was beaten to death right in front of him, and he didn't utter a sound the whole time."

"I think this kid is quite something, being able to witness the entire process of the Venerable One accepting disciples..."

Wugensheng shook his head, silently wishing the Venerable One a safe journey, then patted his bottom and sat up. "Sect Leader, where are you going?"

"Where to go? Of course, we should run away as fast as we can! There are so many people from reputable sects here. If we don't run away, are we going to wait for them to have a chance to deal with us?"

Wugensheng shrugged, then led Gu Jiting down the mountain.

"Sect Leader, wait for me!"

Wu Man, who had just asked Wu Gensheng for help, quickly followed suit upon hearing this.

"Tch, I thought I might be able to make a big scene, but it ended so hastily. It's really annoying."

Liang Ting snorted coldly, somewhat annoyed, but after seeing the cold gazes of Lin Feng and the others, he suppressed his emotions and obediently followed Wu Gensheng and his group.

"master……"

Beside Lin Feng, another disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sword spoke up.

"Let them go. Our purpose in coming here today is only to gather blessings."

"Yes."

On the other side, Lü Wen, who walked to the front of the crowd, also clasped his hands in a fist salute to everyone.

"Gentlemen, Duan Chuan's heart meridian has been shattered by my Ruyi Force. This scoundrel is dead, and the feud between him and my Lü family is settled. If anyone does not believe me, please come forward and see for yourselves."

"Patriarch Lü, you flatter us. Since you've said so, how could we not trust you?"

"That's right, I'm sure Patriarch Lü wouldn't lie to us. It's just a bit of a pity that we let that old devil die like that; it was too easy for him."

……

Just as everyone was either flattering or resentful, an untimely voice suddenly rang out: "Patriarch Lü, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I have a deep-seated hatred for that fiend, so I still want to confirm it myself, lest that fiend uses some trick of faking his death again!"

The head of the Lü family frowned, but ultimately said nothing more, only uttering two words: "Please go ahead."

After receiving the approval of the head of the Lü family, a weasel-faced man with a mustache slowly walked up to Duan Chuan's corpse.

"Old man, you've finally met your match? I knew you could run, so I deliberately severed your Achilles tendon earlier."

It's a pity I couldn't take your life with my own hands, but it doesn't matter. I can cut off your head myself and take it back to offer as a sacrifice to my father.

After saying that, the man raised his long sword high, as if to cut off Duan Chuan's head.

Just as the longsword was about to fall, a black shadow flashed by, and in the next instant, the person and the sword were sent flying backwards.

Everyone was shocked by what they saw, and then they all looked at the figure next to the corpse.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the gong has been sounded, the karmic debts have been settled, and my old man has already paid for the grudges between you all with his own life."

To continue this harassment, or even attempt to desecrate the spirit of the deceased, wouldn't that be going too far?

Zhao Zhen glanced around at everyone present, and finally fixed his cold gaze on the bearded man he had just kicked away.

"Damn it, Zhao Zhen, what do you mean?!"

The bearded man clutched his chest as he got up from the ground, glaring at Zhao Zhen with eyes blazing with fury.

"Wasn't I clear enough? If you dare take another step forward, I'll kill you!"

No one doubted the truth of Zhao Zhen's words, because at this moment, the killing intent in Zhao Zhen's eyes was almost tangible!
The bearded man was startled by Zhao Zhen's gaze, but after recovering, he still forced a rebuttal to save face:
"If you won't let us examine that sorcerer's body, how are we supposed to know if you're helping your master fake his death to deceive everyone?!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Wen's expression instantly darkened.

"Zhong Tao! You mean my father was also helping the demon fake his death?!" Lu Ci immediately stood up and roared.
