Chapter 189: The spark of a collision

I didn’t ask the old master anything. He had already made his position clear. Some things are like the deepest secrets. Even if they rot in your stomach, you won’t say anything until the time comes.

The answer I wanted to get, in fact, had already been obtained, and that was that I was not a useless person in this battlefield.

At this moment, the wind blew the old master’s cloak, making him look like a hero who had fought his last battle. It was also inexplicable that he suddenly grabbed me and pointed to the solitary temple on the hillside, saying to me, “That’s it. It’s best not to be opened Once it is opened… all the burdens will fall on you at that time. You must remember that we will always be here to protect you… because what we hope for may not necessarily become a reality. For example, I hope it will not be opened, but it will inevitably be opened.”

The old master’s expression became more serious than ever, and I felt the heaviness in his tone… My gaze fell on the solitary temple on the mountain top, among the jagged rocks and the desolate grass… There was a winding path leading to it, and what ultimate secret did such a solitary temple hide?

I was just a little curious about the secret, but I didn’t care what would be weighing on me at that time. I glanced at the old master and just asked, “What exactly am I going to face? Can I say it? It’s okay, I’m just curious.”

“What am I facing? It is very likely that I will be facing Yang Sheng alone…” The old master’s voice became distant, and snowflakes fell on his white hair, fluttering with his white hair, but also unable to hide his worries.

Yang Sheng suppressed his power in order not to alert Kunlun in the end… He is the biggest unknown, but in the end, he made me face him alone. How could he not be worried?

“Well, then, I’ll face Yang Sheng. Me and Yang Sheng will fight after all.” At this time, these words came out of my mouth. This was not something I wanted to say, but for some reason I suddenly felt like saying it.

It was him, Chen Chengyi… I thought that Chen Chengyi’s will might have been erased in silence.

I froze for a moment, and then I muttered in a barely audible voice, “You still refuse to miss this battle?” As I spoke, my eyes involuntarily looked into the distance, where Granny Lingqing was leading a group of people, including Xue, who still had the same detached, indifferent expression as before. Did she know that at this moment, Chen Chengyi was still alive? Should I tell her, or give her one last thought?

Thinking about the last moment, the moment Wei Chaoyu fell into my arms irreversibly, I felt that I should do this… However, before I could take a step, I saw the old master’s body shake slightly, and Jenny’s head suddenly put away the wine flask in her hand… and looked into the distance.

“It’s true…” The old master’s expression at this time was not at all heavy, but there was a kind of relief.

My eyes involuntarily followed them as they looked into the distance. At this moment, I noticed that some people of great importance also looked into the distance at the same time… including several elders of the Snow Mountain clan, including my master… and Master Hui…

Then, they silently bowed their heads and began to do their own things… as if nothing had happened.

But at this moment, I heard the clear sound of hooves approaching from afar, moving quickly in the direction we were in… The sound came before the person… At this moment, a familiar voice came from the Taoist roar, with a loud voice: “Chen Chengyi, when you were in the deserted village, you became the only person I entrusted… Now, you are here, but you and I are destined to fight… But that day, you didn’t even have the courage to face the separation? Now you have the courage to fight?”

Is it Yang Sheng? My brows furrowed. Didn’t I have several hours to prepare?

Why? Now I’m here, and I don’t have a timekeeping device on me… But I probably know that it won’t be more than an hour until now. The array of heavenly punishment in front of me has not yet had more than a hundred people enter the main array. The array is far from complete. Why did Yang Sheng come?

His voice echoed across the vast grasslands… Many people had the same reaction as me, and were somewhat panicked in their confusion… Why had something that was certain suddenly changed?

But it seems that those who already knew about it, such as the old master, Jenny, and the others, were still calm.

And Yang Sheng’s voice continued: “Chen Chengyi, why don’t you answer me? On what basis do you become my destined enemy? On what basis do you say that’s good, then face me…”

Accompanied by this voice, on the horizon of the distant grasslands, in the vast snowstorm, a lone rider suddenly burst out of the snowstorm and appeared on the distant horizon… The horse beneath him was originally a large and sturdy horse, but under the tall figure, even the horse seemed much smaller.

Although the distance was far, I knew by instinct that it was Yang Sheng… At this time, Jenny jumped onto a large rock at the foot of the hill and said loudly, “Do what you need to do. Before the battle, I said that any variables should not affect what you need to do.”

Whoever can make it to this battlefield is a powerful cultivator in the circle of cultivators. And who hasn’t experienced a few battles in their lives to earn the name of a powerful cultivator?

Their state of mind is definitely incomparable to that of the younger generation. Even the few young people mixed in are all elites of the cultivators, so how could they be ordinary people? Therefore, at the word of Jenny, everyone immediately calmed down… and began to do what they were doing.

Yang Sheng, alone and on horseback, was still heading towards us in the snowstorm, with a look of disdain for the heroes of the world… I don’t know what gave him such confidence.

At this moment, my body involuntarily walked quickly to the position where Jenny had stood before, jumped up and jumped onto the large stone… I said, “Yang Sheng, the parting that you were unwilling to face that day now seems to have been a premonition. It turns out that it was only Yang Sheng from that year who was reluctant, not you now. I just didn’t expect that you would still use the friendship of that year to argue. Is it that you don’t have the courage to fight? If you must ask me, I can only answer you that I have no pressure at all in the face of you now. What’s wrong with a battle?”

My voice also echoed across the grassland… Jenny had jumped off the rock and leaned against it, quietly lighting a cigarette. In the haze of smoke, she said lightly, “This kid, his power has increased, and he almost deafened my ears.”

Jenny’s words were not wrong. I was originally a very talented person in this life, and with my awakening… my spiritual awareness has once again grown, and many battles have tempered my spiritual power… I was only affected by the environment and resources in the past… In the past two months, I have received unlimited support from the Snow Mountain clan. If there is no obvious progress, that would be strange.

What’s more, the most precious thing is the experience of fighting, which will blossom in this great battle after a period of precipitation… And skill is not always the decisive factor in a battle. At least, I am satisfied with the abilities of this body in this life… At least I can use most of them.

What’s wrong with a battle with Yang Sheng?

“Ssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I was just surprised. In Chen Chengyi’s memory, Yang Sheng was a powerful “zombie,” perhaps even a king of the undead. Why would he still be able to use magic? He even seemed familiar with Taoist roar techniques!

At this moment, I also realized… it was Chen Chengyi who had just returned.

Yang Sheng stopped… and behind him, the sound of hooves continued to come… At this moment, although it was a very long distance away, I knew… that Yang Sheng’s gaze fell on me.

In that moment, it seemed that all the space between us was constantly breaking up, constantly drawing me closer to him… and everything seemed to be silent… there was only him and me in the whole world.

Our gazes, bodies, and souls… it was as if everything was colliding! Silent sparks appeared, lighting up the dark sky in an instant…

“Hahaha… Chen Chengyi, I was dissatisfied with you. Why could you fight me in this state? Are you worthy? But now it seems that you haven’t lost your foolish courage… Then let’s fight. At that time, you will eventually think that you were wrong… and my mercy will shine on you.” Yang Sheng stopped, and his voice came again.

And behind him… it seemed as if a long black horizon appeared, with a shocking sound of hooves approaching Yang Sheng, who seemed to be standing alone in the world.

He has not given up, not given up the idea of making me admit my mistake, not given up his determination to make me agree with him… So this is Yang Sheng’s last innocence? And his last feelings? I feel inexplicably sad… There is a kind of desolation that I don’t want to say anything else… I looked at Yang Sheng, and I didn’t even use my shouting technique, but just said in a faint voice that only I could hear, “Then let’s fight.”

As I spoke, I jumped off the rock… but at this moment, I heard a loud ‘splash’ and turned around… to see that it was Master Hui, who had been burning incense and chanting, who had ripped open his clothes.

He had a well-built upper body, and at this moment, I saw that Master Hui’s body was covered with tattoos… He didn’t say a word, and his beard under his chin fluttered in the wind… The muscles on his body gradually rose silently.

“Fortunately… it’s not too late,” the old headmaster suddenly said.

It turned out that he had been waiting for the Grand Master Hui and his men to make all the preparations, not for the heavenly punishment formation.

As if he had seen my doubt, the old master looked at me and said, “Don’t forget what Yang Sheng just said… He asked you what you were facing with. Didn’t you just say that it was okay to face it?”

I felt a chill in my heart… Yang Sheng’s second-in-command… that soothsayer!
