Chapter 126: Slaying Jinshi
It had to be said, this old man was incredibly powerful and had a wealth of battle experience. Against two opponents of the same realm, he could still counter-attack despite being in a clear disadvantage.
Thud!
Without a doubt, Miao Yi Niang's sword struck the old man's shoulder, the bloom of blood flower.
The old man only issued a muffled hum. The strong body of the gold and stone state, at this moment, demonstrated its extreme strength.
Even though this sword injured the old man's shoulder, when it reached his scapula, even with Miao Yi Niang's gold and stone strength, it was still hard to penetrate further.
In the gold-and-stone state, the flesh is like stone, and the bones like gold!
At the same time, the old man's heavy palm had already reached Chu Yan's face.
This palm was like a mountain bearing down!
Like a thunderbolt!
Although his shoulder might be injured, the immense power contained in this palm was still enough to shatter rocks and mountains!
Killing... was naturally not an issue.
Because of the pain and anger, the old man's face became extremely fierce and twisted.
Mightily terrifying!
That murderous aura...covered the sky!
At this point, Chu Yan's thoughts of dodging were a bit too late!
She had received various training since she was young, but her actual battle experience was not abundant. Especially when faced with a gold and stone expert that she previously couldn't even imagine, she still lacked a lot.
In the flash of an instant, Chu Yan's heart was somewhat gloomy: "I'm sorry, Master, I cannot tell you that I've actually killed people before."
Just at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared before Chu Yan, like a mountain, completely blocking the petite Chu Yan behind him.
Boom!
Crack!
A muffled sound rang out.
This mountain shook, but continued to stand tall!
Chu Yan watched as Chu Mo, standing in front of her, shuddered and then grunted. There was a sound of bone cracking, but he remained standing in front of her!
That figure towered greatly.
Chu Yan's tears fell instantly, this figure, at this moment, was etched deeply into her heart. It could never be changed in this lifetime.
Spurt!
Chu Mo spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, looked palely at the shocked old man: "So this is the power of the gold and stone state? It's formidable!"
This palm not only caused severe damage to Chu Mo's internal organs, but also fractured Chu Mo's exceptionally sturdy armbone on the spot!
If it weren't for his quenching bones, under such a vast difference, this palm...it wouldn't just be a matter of a broken bone.
The issue would be whether this arm could still remain at Chu Mo's shoulder!
Therefore, this old man was completely shocked.
It was a kind of soul-shattering hardship!
He was somewhat in a daze!
His eyes filled with incredulity, he looked at the young man in front of him, his mouth slightly agape: "Are you a monster? How could you possibly block this palm of mine?"
In the moment of his stupor, Miao Yi Niang on the other side, watching Chu Mo forcibly block the palm for Chu Yan and suffering heavy injuries, had completely lost her mind!
While the old man was startled, the mad Miao Yi Niang didn't hesitate at all.
The sword pierced the old man's shoulder, yet it failed to penetrate the rock-hard bones that lay beneath his flesh.
Following that... she stabbed again, targeting the neck of the old man!
At that moment, the old man was in a stupor because his killing strike had been blocked by Chu Mo, and Chu Mo hadn't died from it...
Clang!
A weapon cry resonated in Miao Yi Niang's hands, screeching like a dragon's call.
At that moment, the old man seemed to realize something. A rush of fear sparked in his eyes.
His lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
But.
It was too late!
A dazzling brilliance from the sword lit up behind the old man.
It was blinding!
Even a body as robust as stone couldn't withstand the full-struck sword of a strong fighter filled with boundless fury.
Crack!
The old man's head flew up in the air, and blood gushed out, spurting high into the sky like a blood-red fountain. That bright redness gave a chilling sense of beauty!
The old man's body stood there, reluctant to fall. It took a long while before it thudded onto the ground.
Chu Mo swayed a bit, turned to Miao Yi Niang, and flashed a grin: "Sis... you are really awesome!"
With those words, Chu Mo's body softened, and he was caught by Chu Yan. Chu Yan's teary face displayed guilt, and she looked at Chu Mo, "My lord, I'm sorry. I'm to blame… It's all my fault!"
Chu Mo managed a weak smile, "Since you call me your master, how could I not protect you?"
Miao Yi Niang rushed to Chu Mo's side, and with a concerned gaze, she asked Chu Mo, "How are you? Are you alright?"
Chu Mo struggled a bit and said, "I'm fine, just slightly injured internally. You... you should go check on your fellow disciple first..."
Miao Yi Niang stubbornly shook her head, like a toddler, her eyes moist. She reached out to touch Chu Mo's pale face and murmured, "Check on her for what? Let her do whatever she wants. To me, even if there were ten thousand of her, they wouldn't be as important as a single hair of yours, sir."
"You are grown-up now, don't act so childish." Chu Mo weakly replied, "She is our enemy... go now!"
Miao Yi Niang finally came to her senses, turned her head back, and glanced at Sun Yifei who was still hugging Hua Nan's corpse in shock. A touch of contempt flashed across her face, "She... is no longer my enemy."
At that moment, Sun Yifei, who had been hugging Hua Nan's corpse, suddenly looked up. Her eyes, which had once shone brightly, were now devoid of any light. She looked at Miao Yi Niang, then at the heavily injured Chu Mo, and said enviously, "Miao Yi Niang, you are much luckier than me."
Miao Yi Niang held her head high, her pretty face full of pride, "Of course!"
"Hehe..." A sudden soft laughter escaped from Sun Yifei's lips. There was a touch of mischief in her otherwise desolate face, "You haven't changed. You look fierce on the outside, but deep down... you're still as fragile and soft as always, and moreover, you're prideful yet, kind-hearted."
Miao Yi Niang froze. Even though she had been betrayed and sold out by her senior disciple sister that she now despised with all her heart, Sun Yifei's words almost brought her to tears. The only one who had understood her so thoroughly was her fellow sister, whom she had grown up with.
Who hasn't learned to hide their emotions once they grow up? Who would actually wear their feelings on their faces?
Sun Yifei said softly, "I miss those carefree days when our biggest worry was about when we would get to grow up. Haha, we were so naive back then. How could we have known the worries of being a grown-up?"
Speaking, Sun Yifei raised her head to look at Miao Yi Niang, and said gently, "Junior disciple sister, I'm sorry."
Miao Yi Niang had tears in her eyes. An array of complicated emotions flashed across her face, and after a moment of hesitation, she said, "It doesn't matter. You betrayed our sect and sold me out. Yet I killed the man you loved. In the end, it's probably you who should hate me more."
Sun Yifei shook her head, and lovingly glanced at Hua Nan in her arms, "No, there is no effect without a cause, right? I don't have the right to hate you. Also, thank you, my junior disciple sister, you have given me liberation."
