Chapter 158 - So Weak That It’s Boring
The first person that came to Mingshi Yin’s mind was Fan Xiuwen. Of all the people caught in the blast moments ago, Fan Xiuwen was the only one who had a possibility of surviving. His two subordinates, Yue Chong and Duan Yanhong, did not have such capabilities.
Lu Zhou stood atop the flying chariot. He looked down on the charred lands. He had seen the arm as well.
“Master, there’s a possibility this is Fan Xiuwen. He’s truly tenacious! There’s no need to trouble yourself, master. I’ll kill him on your behalf!” Mingshi Yin grinned and raised a hand. His Separation Hook hovered above his palm and glowed faintly. “We must be careful when facing such a powerful enemy…”
Duanmu Sheng was speechless. ‘Old Fourth, you’ve always been good at bullying the weak.’
Mingshi Yin had just walked up to the charred arm when Lu Zhou’s voice reached him.
“Dig.”
“Huh?”
Duanmu Sheng explained, “Master wants you to dig the soil around the arm so we can see who it is.”
“Return to the Evil Sky Pavilion.”
“Understood!”
…
Meanwhile, about three miles away from the location of the blast.
Luo Shishan stabbed his sword into the ground to stabilize himself. He panted as he muttered to himself, “That old geezer, he’s so powerful…” He had depleted all his Primal Qi from fighting. Who knew an all-powerful Sword Saint like him would end up in such a battered state?
“Forget it. To each his own…” Luo Shisan shook his head helplessly.
However, just as Luo Shishan was about to leave, a green-clad swordsman silently appeared at a spot 50 meters ahead of him.
The green-clad swordsman carried a long sword on his straight back. “Hello there.”
Even without strength at this moment, Luo Shishan was not completely unguarded. He was, naturally, startled by the green-clad swordsman’s sudden appearance.
“You are?”
“My name’s Yu Shangrong.”
“…” Luo Shisan’s eyes widened. He tightened his grip on his sword, trembling. He was in no condition to fight against Yu Shangrong right now.
“Sword Devil?”
“That is but a name. It’s not significant enough to mention.” Yu Shangrong turned and studied Luo Shisan.
Luo Shisan took a step back. “I came here on my sect master’s orders to clear the taint on our sect. I have no intention of becoming an enemy of the Evil Sky Pavilion”
“You’re afraid,” Yu Shangrong said.
“I… I’m not…”
“No, you are.” Yu Shangrong shook his head lightly. He revealed a faint smile. “There’s no need to worry, I won’t strike a man when he’s down…”
“…” Luo Shisan did not believe him.
“You’re weak, so weak that it’s boring.”
