Chapter 20: Pain

At this moment, the domineering true qi in Fan Xian’s body had already reacted on its own, creating a dense layer on his back, only that the wooden stick came too fast, and actually “zapped” all the force before the true qi reacted!

The reason why I used the word “zap” was because the owner of this wooden stick struck like a straight line, and all the force was concentrated on the point at the tip of the stick.

Fan Xian let out an extremely suppressed cry of pain, and even though the teenager’s body had real qi as a protective barrier, the pain went to his bones and his entire body shrank.

One moment, he was curled up on the ground in pain, but the next moment, his small hand was propped up on the stone under his feet, and his whole body rolled up with the momentum of the shrinking just now, and kicked viciously at the back!

Anyone who saw a beautiful teenage boy kick out such a sinister kick would also feel fear. But what he got in response was a very simple “Pah!”

Fan Xian half-kneeled on the ground, his hand touching his ankle, rubbing it constantly, his mouth sucking in cool air, his eyebrows twisting up in pain.

He knew that it was useless to beg for mercy, something that several years of experience had proven long ago, so he just stared at the blind man standing three meters away, his heart calculating – according to the agreement with him, as long as he hit the other party once, even if it was a corner of his coat, it would be counted as a win for him, and then he could have a month’s vacation.

But after being flattened for several years, Fan Xian had never been able to possibly touch the other’s body. On the one hand, it was because Five Bamboo’s movements always seemed ghostly, silent, and quite fast, and what was especially horrible was that his movements didn’t have the slightest warning at all, and it was completely impossible to judge ahead of time by the slight side of his shoulders, the angle of his afterglow, or any other information.

The second aspect was the unobtrusive wooden stick in Wuzhu’s hand – whenever Fan Xian tried everything he could think of and exhausted his true qi with his underhanded maneuvers, and would be about to approach Wuzhu’s body, the stick would be like a claw reaching out from a demon of the netherworld, and would strike him hard on his wrists, his ankles, and even on his fingers.

There was no shattering, only pain, unbearable pain.

And the thing that baffled Fan Xian the most was that no matter how much he hid his voice, amidst the roar of such waves hitting the rocks, the Five Bamboos, who was covered in a black cloth, was still able to clearly find his bearings, and the wooden stick in his hand never fell short.

“Ai yi yi yi yi ……” Another stick struck his wrist, and Fan Xian sang in pain, singing a Peking Opera accent and dragging out his voice, far away from that merciless blind man.

A nameless yellow flower bloomed on the cliff.

Fan Xian was lying weakly on the edge of the cliff, at this time the sea under the cliff had returned to calm, slowly flowing a band of golden light in the light of the sun, and the reefs that had been washed by the waves finally had some time alone and began to slowly dry out, and some crustaceans had climbed up, just like a small black dot.

Touching the painful places on his body, luck to inspect the condition of his body, he found that those violent and rows of true qi, because part of them were sucked into the snowy mountain behind his waist, and the other part of them were consumed because of the need to resist the momentous and unceasing stick attacks, so the condition of the true qi in his body is in a very calm state …… just like this tranquil sea in front of him.

He knew that resting in this situation would not be beneficial to his cultivation, so resisting the aches and pains all over his body he climbed up with great difficulty, sat on his knees and began to run the dharma of the Volume of Hegemony, and the rest of his gaze glanced at Five Bamboo, who was standing coldly on the edge of the cliff.

The black cloth covering Five Bamboo’s eyes was whistling by the sea breeze.

“Still cool, not pretending to be cool.” Fan Xian quietly commented in his heart about this blind man and softly asked, “Uncle, beware of falling down.”

A character as powerful as Five Bamboos naturally wouldn’t die innocently from falling off a cliff, and Fan Xian was just speaking blindly.

“Don’t be distracted.”

Five Bamboo dropped such a cold sentence and stopped paying attention to him.

Fan Xian sighed in his heart and began to calm his qi and enter a meditative state. He didn’t know how long it had been before he woke up amidst the sea breeze and realized that the sun in the sky had shifted its orientation, while not far from his side, Five Bamboos was still maintaining that stable stance amidst the sea breeze, just like a large flag that would never be cut down.

He stood up and realized that his body’s condition had indeed recovered in its entirety, with his true qi filling up more and more, and the feeling of impact on his meridians was also much weaker. Although there were still some soreness in his muscles and ankles and wrists, but after returning to the mansion and rubbing them with the medicinal wine he had prepared, he would naturally be fine.

In the slightly fishy sea breeze, he walked to the edge of the cliff and stood side by side with Five Bamboo, only much shorter than Five Bamboo. Picking up a stone, he struggled to throw it into the sea. At this time, the true qi in his body was majestic, causing his strength to be far too much greater than the average person even now, the stone flew far away and fell into the sea, only splashing up small splashes that were barely visible to the naked eye.

He was somewhat satisfied with his own strength, thinking that even those martial arts masters do not have such a strong arm strength, looking at the magnificent blue waves in front of him, looking at the sky flying free birds, the qi in his body is pulled by the external realm, the spirit can not help but be invigorated, open his arms, roared loudly at the sea.

This roar was to vent his depression, his longing for that original world, his love for this world, and also the sense of being trapped by the fact that he never had the courage to leave Tanyuu.

“Kyoto, old me is going to come one day!”

Gojira acted as if he hadn’t heard him yell, still standing quietly.

“To do what?”

Fan Xian froze, realizing that it was the word-shy Uncle Five Bamboos who had finally opened his mouth to ask himself, and he couldn’t help but smile as he replied, “Naturally, I’m going to see what the world is really like.”

“The world outside is dangerous.” Five Bamboo still didn’t turn around and said coldly.

Fan Xian shrugged his skinny shoulders, his appearance looking a bit comical, “I have Uncle Five Bamboo to protect me, so what am I afraid of?”

“After coming out with Miss, I forgot something.” Five Bamboo’s always smooth words suddenly paused, “So there are many people in this world who can hurt me, and naturally, they can also hurt you.”

“Uncle is modest.” Fan Xian smiled sweetly, thinking to himself that in this still unfamiliar world, you are the only strong person he has as a bodyguard, so what if you all want to be a shirker.

“If I’m by your side in Kyoto, I’ll bring you trouble.”

Fan Xian raised his head and looked at the blind Five Bamboo’s face that seemed to be perpetually expressionless, and after thinking about it, somewhat embarrassed, he replied, “I will protect you.”

After hearing these words, Five Bamboo finally looked back, staring earnestly into Fan Xian’s eyes, and said, “Miss …… also said this.”

Fan Xian smiled, it seems that his own shamelessness really does have a few moments of his old lady’s legacy.
