Chapter 151: A Shocking Turn of Events

Reality is always very dramatic. By the time they reached the rock, Xiao Chengqian’s thunder spell had just finished. The last bolt of lightning fell, and the Kunlun spirit sealed in the paper doll had disappeared completely.

The rock was a mess, with Patel’s body, the broken paper man, scorch marks from the lightning, the broken coffin, the fire that had burned out… and the old man Johnny, who was ‘sleeping’ behind us…

After the lightning, there was an inevitable drizzle, and the two groups of people confronted each other on the rock.

No one spoke, and the atmosphere between us was silent and stiff. The wind wouldn’t even blow between us, but it did lift the corners of our clothes.

My smile was still on my face, and this should be said to be my first ‘victory’ against Yang Sheng, because from the deserted village to Changbai Mountain, he had successfully snatched the Kunlun legacy, and this time he was destined to be a flop.

“Your smile is annoying.” It was Zhang Han who spoke. His expression was calm and his tone was even. His words were clearly provocative, but when spoken by someone with his temperament, they seemed like a matter of course and ordinary.

“Really?” I couldn’t help but touch my chin, then smiled even more brightly, saying, “I didn’t ask you to like me anyway.”

“Why are you smiling so happily?” Zhang Han asked knowingly.

“Why am I smiling so happily? I think there is an inevitable connection between the two things. What do you think?” I put away my smile, but my expression was also very calm, and my tone was as calm as his. Faced with such a deep-minded guy, the best thing to do is to let him see nothing and guess nothing.

Zhang Han was silent, and Xiao Daxiao, behind me, secretly gave me a thumbs-up. I was a little proud, and I thought that not only was Chengxin brother sharp-tongued, but I could be too. I smiled again when I thought of this.

“Chen Chengyi, I said it before, your smile is really annoying.” Zhang Han, who had been silent, saw me smile again, frowned slightly, and broke the silence, as if he really hated my smile.

“No nonsense. If you’re trying to rob something, sorry, you’re doomed to get nothing! If you’re chasing me here, then go for it. I’m not afraid of anything, you know? Defeated?” When he said this, he put his hands in his pockets, tilted his head, and stared at Zhang Han and his group. His expression on his face was like Zheng Mingyi’s, a look of a rascal.

It’s obvious that if you’re angry, I’ll be happy.

But I actually don’t care about Zhang Han at all. My gaze seems to be staring at Zhang Han, but in fact, I am secretly paying attention to the two elderly men who have been silent from beginning to end, and to him, Yang Sheng. I suppress in my heart an emotion that I don’t know whether it is hatred, pain, regret, or sadness, but I hate this emotion.

As for the other person wrapped in a cloak, I never felt any sense of crisis about his existence, nor did I feel any ill will, but rather ignored it.

“You!” As soon as I mentioned the words “defeated,” Zhang Han’s face suddenly changed, becoming unusually gloomy, and his eyes became unusually vicious. But after all, he was still Zhang Han, the most respected young person in the four major forces. He just lost his temper for a short while, and all he could say was the word “you,” and then he shut up and his face once again returned to a calm expression.

This kind of scheming is not something that a man of his age would have. I lamented that in the same situation, I would not do better than him, because deep down I am more impulsive than him.

“Chen Chengyi, who defeated you, is very close to my imagination.” There were five people from the younger generation, and this time it was one of the two strangers who spoke. This person had no obvious features, an ordinary figure, an ordinary appearance, and even ordinary clothes. If you had to say what was memorable, it was that his beard seemed quite heavy, so his shaved chin was very heavy, and from a distance it looked like half his face was green.

I didn’t know him, and it seemed that Xiao Da Shao was also a little unfamiliar with him. He didn’t introduce me to this person at first, but just frowned and thought.

As for the other stranger, after the man with the green chin finished speaking, he just snorted and looked at me coldly. The look in his eyes seemed to say that it was no surprise to defeat Zhang Han, and that he was my opponent.

Compared to the man with the green chin, this person had a very obvious characteristic, and that was that he had three wounds on his face, like the scratches of a fierce animal, running through his entire face. However, this did not make him look ugly. Even though his facial features were ordinary, he was unusually tough. These scratches were a perfect match for his temperament.

When he noticed that I was looking at his face, the man who had snorted looked at me. There was no hatred in his eyes, only a strong fighting spirit. He suddenly pointed at the scars on his face and said to me, “Chen Chengyi, I heard that you have several demon spirits. You rely on demon spirits, but I kill demons! Do you believe that the scratches on my face were left by the demon?”

After saying this, he suddenly smiled viciously at me. Even in the rain, his white teeth were exceptionally dazzling. I don’t know if it was my illusion, but I always felt that his canines were longer than others. Is he a vampire? Not at all!

I don’t know what to make of this guy or this conversation. All I can do is remain calm. In this confrontation, we don’t have any advantage after the war. It’s not a good idea to be impulsive.

“Stop talking nonsense. Why are you standing here posing? Do you really think this is a sword fight at Huashan? Just do what you want to do. I’m tired of posing.” After a long silence, Chengxin stretched and finally spoke. His words were still sharp. Compared to the spirit of a bachelor, he was a hundred times better than me at talking.

What to do? The young people were speechless, and the two old men were unusually silent, as if there was no room for them to speak.

At this moment, Yang Sheng, who had been standing in the back, suddenly took two steps forward. His status and authority were fully realized at this time. He took two steps forward, and everyone else made way for him. These young people were all from prominent families with long histories, and they were all arrogant and unruly. They were completely afraid of Yang Sheng’s insolence and dissatisfaction, and instead, they were filled with a strange kind of respect.

Yang Sheng silently walked to the front of the line, and at the same time, he still had the person wearing the cloak.

Yang Sheng and I finally faced each other like this again.

I can face anyone else calmly, but when I face Yang Sheng, I can never calm down. I always think of Sister-in-law Jingyi, of that year in the deserted village, of her gently holding her hair in the wind, of her figure.

She was a reed, but the rock has proven to be truly unmovable. What kind of answer will she get for her perseverance and waiting?

This man, my first male friend from outside the closed rural life… I was once full of trust in him, wasn’t I? And I had invested all my friendship in him? I once thought that I would be a swordsman in the world, and he would be the one who would accompany me, the one who would stick his neck out for me…

So I couldn’t keep calm, and I couldn’t keep silent. I said, “Yang Sheng, why do you have to pretend to be mysterious? You’ve become a monster, and that’s a fact that can’t be hidden. Are you still ashamed to be seen by people?”

Yang Sheng was wearing sunglasses and a mask. He was silent, and I couldn’t see any change in his expression. Instead, the two old men who had been following him all the time took a step forward in protest when they heard what I said.

But I didn’t care. I looked at Yang Sheng and said with a sneer, “I once received a letter like this. The person who wrote it probably said that if he faced me again, he probably wouldn’t be softhearted, but would face life and death. He did exactly that. Under the Tianchi in Changbai Mountain, should it be the same this time? If you’re here to kill me, then go ahead.”

After saying this, all my muscles tightened, and the remaining strength in my body quickly concentrated. I was ready for battle.

But Yang Sheng just turned his head slightly, looked around at everything on the rock, then used something like a microphone to press against his throat, and then his completely changed voice, hoarse and unpleasant, came out of that thing: “I still have some use for that corpse. Take it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the two old men stepped forward and were about to take Patel’s body. My anger could no longer be suppressed. In the face of things that mattered, I couldn’t help but rush forward two steps, my eyes cold and my voice low. “Why?”

The two old men looked at me coldly, but they just walked straight towards the corpse. I was furious and about to start fighting, and my friends behind me would naturally respond to everything I did.

But Yang Sheng didn’t say anything, he just walked two steps towards me. Of course, he didn’t do anything too extreme with the person wearing the cloak, he just ripped open the cloak of the person wearing the cloak…
