Chapter 661 Head
Wuyazi sighed softly, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes.
Chai Xin had read the original novel, so he knew what his last wish was. However, he remained calm and said, "Brother, please tell me what you want. No matter what it is, I will do my best."
"Back then, I accepted a disciple, taught him carefully, and took great care of him, but I didn't expect that he would be attacked back."
Wuyazi sighed again and began to tell the story.
"That traitor suddenly attacked me and threw me into a deep valley. I almost lost my life at his hands. Fortunately, my eldest disciple Su Xinghe pretended to be deaf and dumb and hid the traitor's eyes and ears. I was able to linger on and live for another thirty years."
Having said this, he couldn't help but pause, with a look of regret on his face.
"Xinghe's talent was originally quite good, but unfortunately he led me astray and distracted me to learn music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, which are all things that make me lose my ambition. There is no way he can learn my superior martial arts.
"For the past thirty years, I have only hoped to find a smart and dedicated disciple, teach him all my life's martial arts, and send him to destroy Ding Chunqiu.
"But opportunities are hard to come by. If one is smart but has a bad nature, he may end up raising a tiger that will cause trouble for him; and if one has a good character, he may lack understanding.
"Seeing that my life is coming to an end, I can't wait any longer, so I announced this treasure that I had set out that year to the world, in order to find a talented person. My time is coming, and I have no time to teach martial arts, so the disciple I accept must be a smart and handsome boy.
"I never thought that instead of waiting for that disciple, I would get a fellow disciple who is more talented than I could have imagined. This can be considered a rare favor from God to me."
As he spoke, he let out a long sigh, raised his head, and looked out through the hole in the roof that Xu Zhu had broken, as if he recalled a lot of past events.
After a long while, he continued, "Good Junior Brother, I think you should have guessed who my traitor is. It's Ding Chunqiu outside."
"He thought I had already died at his hands, so he acted recklessly and has committed many evil deeds in recent years. Therefore, whether for public or private reasons, I want to kill him. Junior brother, this should not be a difficult task for you."
Having said that, he stopped talking and looked at Chai Xin with hope.
Seeing this, Chai Xin clasped his fists again and bowed, saying, "Brother, rest assured. I will chop off the head of that unworthy disciple later. This will not only clean up the sect, but also remove harm from the martial arts world."
Wuyazi smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this and nodded, "That's great, great!"
The more he spoke, the softer his voice became. When he said the second word "very good", his voice was so faint that it was almost inaudible. He suddenly laughed loudly, rushed forward, and with a bang, his forehead hit the ground, and he remained motionless.
Chai Xin took one look and knew that the other party had passed away. He sighed slightly, then bowed and saluted again: "Thank you for your help this time. I will complete everything I promised you."
Then, he flashed and went out of the house.
The scene outside the wooden house made Chai Xin stunned.
There was a huge pillar of fire burning in the open space, and there were fallen pine trees everywhere. He had not been in the cabin for long, but the outside was already in chaos, and he had heard a lot of noise in the house just now.
The people outside the house stood on both sides of the pillar of fire, as if they were vaguely divided into two factions.
Su Xinghe stood on the right, Duan Yu, Jiumozhi, and even Kang Guangling, Xue Muhua and others stood behind him.
The old monster of Xingxiu, Ding Chunqiu, stood on the left, and many disciples of Xingxiu Sect stood behind him.
There were also some martial artists standing farther away, seemingly not wanting to be involved in the dispute between the two sides.
Su Xinghe and Ding Chunqiu were using their palm power to push the fire column towards each other.
Seeing the pillar of fire tilting to the right, it was obvious that Ding Chunqiu had gained the upper hand. Everyone stared at the pillar of fire, and no one paid any attention to Chai Xin coming out of the house.
The pillar of fire was seen moving more and more to the right. Su Xinghe's clothes were filled with air, and he pushed his palms forward like a sail sailing with the wind.
Ding Chunqiu, however, was chatting and laughing calmly, waving his sleeves lightly, seemingly nonchalant. The voices of praise from his disciples had already filled the air -
"Xingxiu old immortal lifts heavy objects with ease, and his magical powers are unparalleled. Today I will open your eyes."
"My master wanted to teach others a lesson, so he slowly activated his magical power. Otherwise, he would have killed this old man surnamed Su in one fell swoop."
"If anyone is dissatisfied, you may as well come and taste the power of the Starry Immortal later." "You are timid, even if we join forces, it doesn't matter!"
"Throughout the ages, no one has ever been able to match the Immortal Xingxiu! Anyone who dares to try to stop a chariot with his bare hands will only bring about his own destruction."
Jiumozhi, Duan Yu and the others all thought that if we joined forces at this time to besiege Ding Chunqiu, even though the old monster Xingxiu was very powerful, he would not be able to withstand our combined strength.
But firstly, they valued their status and were not willing to join forces to attack one person easily; secondly, the deaf-mute old man and the old monster from the Star Constellation sect were injuring each other, and others did not need to get involved; thirdly, they were wary of each other and were afraid that others would take advantage of their weakness. Therefore, although the disciples of the Star Constellation sect praised their master to the sky, Jiumozhi and others just smiled and ignored them.
Suddenly, a column of fire shot forward and wrapped around Su Xinghe. A burning smell passed by and burned his long beard clean.
Su Xinghe struggled hard and finally pushed the pillar of fire away, but the flame was only two feet away from his body, constantly expanding and contracting and trembling, like a giant python opening its mouth and sticking out its tongue, trying to bite him.
Suddenly, there were two dong sounds, followed by two dong sounds, and then the sound of gongs and drums began. It turned out that the disciples of the Xingxiu Sect had hidden gongs, drums, cymbals, suona and trumpets in their arms. At this time, they took them out and played them to promote the master's prestige.
Some even waved green, yellow, red, and purple flags and shouted loudly. In the martial arts world, two people were competing in internal strength, and there were actually people cheering them on with gongs and drums. This was truly unprecedented since the beginning of the world.
Jiumozhi smiled slightly and said, "This Ding Chunqiu's display is truly unprecedented!"
Amid the sound of gongs and drums, a disciple of Xingxiu took out a piece of paper and read aloud. In parallel four-line verse and six-line verse, it was an article "Praise to the Old Immortal Xingxiu for His Power in the Central Plains".
I don't know which corrupt scholar this person hired to write these words of praise, but I can only hear flattery and compliments flying around, and the sound of conch shells and gongs and drums.
Don't underestimate these shameless praises, they can definitely help boost the inner strength of the old monster Xingxiu.
Amid the sounds of gongs, drums and praises, the pillar of fire grew stronger and advanced another half a foot.
Duan Yu had been practicing Zen since he was young, and he hated to see people get hurt, not to mention that Su Xinghe was an old man who looked very miserable. He couldn't help but shout, "Don't be so cruel!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, wanting to stab Ding Chunqiu with the "Six Meridians Divine Sword", but he didn't know how to wield the sword properly. The abundant internal force in his body just circulated inside his body but could not be ejected from his fingers.
He was sweating profusely and shouted, "Brother, hurry up and save him!"
It turned out that he was the only one in the crowd who actually noticed that Chai Xin had come out of the wooden house.
When everyone heard his shout, they noticed that Chai Xin had already walked out.
Chai Xin, however, had an indifferent expression and did not take action immediately. Instead, he watched Su Xinghe and Ding Chunqiu fight silently, seemingly having no intention of intervening.
Amid the sound of gongs and drums, Ding Chunqiu saw Chai Xin's condition and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He had just witnessed how powerful Chai Xin was, and was really afraid that the other party would help his enemy at this time.
In order to avoid any accidents, he did not hold back at all, and waved his sleeves twice, and the pillar of fire immediately rushed closer to Su Xinghe. At this time, Xue Muhua, one of the Eight Friends of Hangu, shouted, "Don't hurt my master!"
After saying that, he jumped in front of the pillar of fire.
Su Xinghe pushed him away with a palm and said, "It's useless to die in vain!"
At the same time, he gathered the remaining strength in his left hand and struck the pillar of fire.
At this time, his internal strength was almost exhausted. This palm only temporarily blocked the pillar of fire. He felt his whole body was burning hot, and everything he saw was red and full of flames.
At this time, the true energy in his body was about to run out. He thought that Ding Chunqiu would definitely break through after killing him. His master pretended to be dead for thirty years, but still couldn't escape his clutches. He couldn't help but feel sad and angry.
Seeing this, Chai Xin could not help but nod slightly and said, "You guys have not brought disgrace upon the reputation of the Xiaoyao Sect."
Before he finished speaking, his feet had already changed continuously, and in an instant he was behind Su Xinghe. He lightly struck out with his palm, which landed on the back of Su Xinghe.
Su Xinghe was already exhausted, and felt that he would not have a good ending today, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly feel an extremely strong internal force coming from behind his back, and the internal force came from the same source as his. In an instant, his internal force surged and became many times stronger.
There was a whoosh sound, and the approaching pillar of fire instantly rolled back and burned Ding Chunqiu directly. The remaining force even engulfed the disciples of the Xingxiu group in the pillar of fire.
In an instant, the sounds of gongs and drums became loud and noisy, and cymbals and trumpets rolled everywhere.
Among the praises of "Xingxiu Sect is feared in the Central Plains, my mentor is invincible in the world", there are also some sayings like -
"Ouch, my mother!"
"You must be good, it's important for the Xingxiu faction to escape!"
"The Xingxiu Sect is flexible and can show off its power in the Central Plains again next time!"
And so on and so forth.
As the first person to be hit, Ding Chunqiu naturally felt it most clearly and was immediately shocked.
In fact, Chai Xin just threw a palm casually, and the strength of Su Xinghe who came to help was probably not even one tenth of his full strength, so he might not be able to achieve an overwhelming victory instantly.
However, Ding Chunqiu had already witnessed how powerful Chai Xin was, and was very afraid of him.
When he saw the other party taking action, he immediately became confused and panicked.
At the same time, he realized that the internal force contained in the opponent's palm was mature and powerful, far superior to that of his senior brother Su Xinghe, and it was obviously the kung fu of their own sect, which made him more suspicious.
With his mind in chaos, his internal strength suddenly failed to gather. The pillar of fire rolled over him and he was unable to push it back. His clothes, beard and hair were all on fire.
As many Xingxiu disciples shouted, "Xingxiu Immortal, the situation is not good," Ding Chunqiu shouted anxiously, "Iron Head Disciple, take action quickly!"
A disciple wearing an iron helmet suddenly rushed out from the crowd behind Ding Chunqiu and pushed towards the pillar of fire without hesitation.
Only a "hissing" sound was heard, and his palm power was unexpectedly extremely cold. When the fire pillar encountered this cold air, it was completely extinguished in an instant, and even the green smoke disappeared very quickly. Only a few large pieces of pine wood that had been burnt into charcoal remained on the ground.
Ding Chunqiu's beard and eyebrows were all burnt, and his clothes were also burned to tatters. He looked extremely miserable. He was already extremely frightened. Finally, he was out of danger. He dared not do anything here, and shouted, "Let's go!"
In a blink of an eye, his body was already seven or eight feet away.
The disciples of the Xingxiu Sect fled for their lives, and gongs, drums, and trumpets were scattered all over the ground. The article "Praise to the Old Immortal Xingxiu for His Power in the Central Plains" was not finished being read, as a large section of it had been burned by the fire and was flying in the wind, as if mocking the old monster Xingxiu for "showing his power in the Central Plains".
I only heard a scream of "Ah" from afar, and a disciple of Xingxiu Sect flew in the air, fell down, and stayed there.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, thinking that the old monster Xingxiu was so angry because of his defeat that one of his disciples tried to comfort him but ended up flattering him and killed him with a palm.
It was not until this moment that Su Xinghe had time to look back. He immediately caught a glimpse of his master's jewel ring on Chai Xin's finger. He immediately understood what was going on and felt both sad and happy.
What made him happy was that his master’s long-cherished wish had finally come true today; what made him sad was that he had probably already guessed what would happen to his master.
"Young man, please follow me into the house and have a chat."
He turned around and spoke to Chai Xin very respectfully with suppressed sadness in his tone.
Chai Xin shook his head slightly and said, "Before we talk, let me fulfill a last wish for you, Senior Brother."
Before he finished speaking, his figure had turned into a residual shadow, and in an instant he passed dozens of feet. He was the first to arrive and blocked the rapidly fleeing Ding Chunqiu!
He was so fast that everyone present was stunned.
No one had expected that there would be someone in this world whose martial arts skills could be so fast!
If it wasn't in broad daylight, many people would have thought they had seen a ghost.
"Xiaoyao Sect's traitor Ding Chunqiu, do you know your crime?"
Chai Xin stood in front of Ding Chunqiu and shouted coldly with an indifferent tone.
Ding Chunqiu never expected that the opponent's body movements could be so fast, and he was almost scared to death.
It was not until Chai Xin opened his mouth that he finally noticed the ring on Chai Xin's hand and asked in surprise: "You! You! How could you..."
"Ding Chunqiu, you murdered our former sect leader, your master Wuyazi, causing him to fall off a cliff and nearly die. He has been disabled for thirty years. This is truly a heinous crime and you deserve to be killed! Today, I will, in the name of the new sect leader of Xiaoyao Sect, clean up the sect and serve as a warning to others!"
After Chai Xinlang stated Ding Chunqiu's crime, he raised his hand and slapped him without any hesitation.
As everyone watched, they felt that the palm strike was not very fast, and was even a little light, so it was easy to dodge.
But the actual situation left them dumbfounded.
However, Ding Chunqiu, who was extremely skilled in martial arts, seemed to be stunned when facing Chai Xin's seemingly ordinary palm. He did not react for a long time. He just stared blankly, with an expression of deep shock and confusion on his face.
"boom!"
With a dull thud, Chai Xin's palm finally landed on Ding Chunqiu's chest.
