Chapter 131: Long time no see

Someone who is even later than him? Since entering this cave and opening this copper coin sword, the shock I and Daotongzi have received has been wave after wave… At this time, I should have been numb… but I still feel incredible and extremely surprised.

Could it be that there is another living being inside the bead in my hand? No, it should be a spirit.

This spirit, who has great magical powers, naturally wouldn’t give me or Daotongzi any answers, but instead gave Daotongzi a meaningful look at the bead in his hand, then lowered his hand that was blocking the remnant spirit of the true dragon, and returned to the copper coin sword in a very elegant manner, with his sleeves fluttering.

The remnant spirit of the true dragon was very confused after losing its opponent. When it came to its senses… where was the enemy it had just seen? All that was there was the Taoist boy, the physical body of Chen Chengyi.

In this cave, it thought it had been provoked and toyed with many times, and the accumulated anger had reached a critical point… Now that it had lost its biggest target, its anger naturally had to be ’tilted’ towards me and Daotongzi again.

And because it was delirious, the appearance of the spirit with boundless magical power did not inspire fear in it. All it had left was instinct, and that was to vent its anger.

I was speechless. Is this how all the great masters are? He didn’t explain, didn’t say much, just left, and looked so carefree… He was so carefree, leaving behind a more angry remnant of the true dragon that had been provoked. What should I and Daotongzi do?

“Is this the style of work of the high-level people on your side?” Not only me, but even the usually calm Tao Tongzi couldn’t calm down at this time.

“I don’t know, maybe that’s why it’s so mysterious?” I tried to explain.

“Haha.” Daotongzi laughed helplessly.

“Haha.” Almost at the same time, I also laughed helplessly.

This is the second similarity I found between me and Daotongzi. That is, Daotongzi is also a bachelor. Now, in the face of a furious remnant of a true dragon, with no power to resist, in this terrible situation of life and death, someone who can still ask such a silly question and laugh is definitely not an ordinary bachelor.

“I find that you, as my successor, are not so annoying… Unfortunately, we are all going to die together.” At this time, the remnant soul of the true dragon had already found its target and once again rushed towards me and Daotongzi.

Even though Tao Tongzi and I were communicating through our minds, and our speed of thought was incomparable to that of ordinary language, Tao Tongzi only had time to convey one thought to me… In the blink of an eye, the remnant spirit of the true dragon was right in front of us… After spitting out several mouthfuls of essence blood, both Tao Tongzi and I, who were exhausted to the limit both physically and mentally, were now faced with such a terrifying dragon head relative to our bodies.

Suddenly, we both laughed… This laughter was not controlled by Tao Tongzi, but was the expression of our common will… I can’t explain what I was thinking at the moment, but I just felt that all the way along, we had come to this point, and no matter what the outcome was, I had done my best… If life is at its end, it deserves a best effort, and I think it is only right to have such a smile.

After laughing, Daotongzi closed his eyes again. We couldn’t think of any other twist at this moment. Even if Daotongzi and I were as cool as we were, we wouldn’t be cool enough to watch as our souls were devoured.

With our eyes closed, our consciousnesses fell into darkness at the same time… I waited for that moment to come, but what I waited for was a quiet sound… Could it be that this mad dragon, because it was so angry, didn’t want to kill Tao Tongzi and me first?

He wants to play a game of cat and mouse with us? Torture us to the point of mental collapse and then kill us? That’s not possible, is it? A true dragon, even a remnant soul… couldn’t possibly choose such a method, could it? After all, this would undermine the majesty of a true dragon!

This thought was not only mine, but also Daotongzi’s… We simply closed our eyes, as if we were not fooled.

But as long as people are curious and impatient… But after waiting for at least five minutes without any movement, both Tao Tongzi and I reached our limit… After all, this is a matter of life and death. If the person who is about to execute you is fiddling with a knife in front of you for five minutes, you will also be unable to help but curse and see what is going on.

So, almost at the same time, our wills strongly made our bodies open our eyes… and what happened before our eyes was a scene that we could never have imagined. The black bead that Daotongzi was holding in his hand, which had been very hot before, was now completely cold and was emitting a dazzling, pure, light blue light.

This… this is the light of the soul!

I once said that the purest soul is light blue, and that only a soul with great power can emit such light before it appears… Is this the person that the high priest said was even later than him? Who could it be?

I have a vague answer in my heart… but I’m not sure, because the only person in the world who knows where all the Master’s remaining soul fragments are is me. Master said he also got the Master’s remaining soul fragments, but Master was vague… and didn’t the remaining soul fragments protect Master? How…?

And under this dazzling blue light, it was the confused eyes of the remnant soul of the true dragon that were reflected. Its eyes were much larger than the bead… But at this moment, under the light of the soul’s radiance, the anger gradually subsided… but the confusion became even stronger.

I believe that the soul of the great man who appeared before would have emitted such a light, but… he appeared in an instant and was already formed… while the remnant soul in the bead was struggling to appear, which is why it was like this.

What happened? I desperately tried to think of an answer.

The Taoist boy, who was familiar with some of my memories, subconsciously raised the bead in his hand that emitted a beautiful blue light, and at this time, he couldn’t help but ask me, “You… what kind of person was your master, Lao Li?”

How could I answer this question? In such a strange situation, I tried my best to find words to describe my master… But before I could say anything, the damn backlash was not over yet. Almost at the same time, Tao Tongzi and I spat out a mouthful of blood containing essence.

Because Daotongzi was holding the bead and squinting at it… so all the blood sprayed onto the bead, which then absorbed it all weirdly.

Then, the bead suddenly emitted a strong blue light… How dazzling was it? Even this soft blue light was so dazzling that Tao Tongzi and I had to avert our eyes slightly to avoid its glare.

But it was just a moment of distraction, and suddenly a hearty laugh echoed throughout the space. When we came to our senses… we saw a figure wearing a gray short robe with his hair casually tied in a topknot appear before the eyes of Tao Tongzi and I.

He left us with a back view, tall and thin… ordinary at first glance, but full of an indescribable momentum, as if the world would not collapse if he stood there… because he could support it, his body was full of an unknown aura, so vast and full of power.

The Taoist monk was shocked to see this aura, and he only muttered, “This aura, unless you give up on yourself… otherwise, you can’t stay in this world.”

Yes, the Taoist boy might also admit that the owner of this back might not be as powerful as the great man who just appeared, but the aura he exuded was so unique, an aura that was in harmony with the Tao.

But in my heart, I was filled with endless excitement. At this moment, my body was clearly controlled by Daotongzi, but I inexplicably shed two tears… Yes, this back was my master, Lao Li… he finally appeared.

The reason I was so moved and excited at this moment was because this time I saw him as so kind… because he looked like this, and this was how he looked in the portrait that my master painted for him.

At first glance, he looked ordinary, like an old farmer basking in the sun… but on closer inspection, he was extraordinary.

He didn’t turn around, but said to the remnant of the true dragon, “It’s been a long time, but I didn’t expect that after all these years, you would have become like this.”

What does he mean?
