SWNOVELXO Chapter 324 Boomerang_2
After saying that, his heart meridian was shattered, and he died on the spot.
On the other side, Tao Yu, who had been in the midst of a killing spree, also stopped his movements. He retracted the Flying Dragon back into his body, and turned around slowly to look over.
"Oh? It seems I just heard some rather remarkable words..."
Liao Kong looked into Tao Yu's calm eyes, feeling a tremor in the depths of his heart. He'd spoken nonsense! You couldn't possibly believe it, right?!
But soon, he bitterly realized, did it even matter whether the other party believed it or not?
In the end, it only mattered what he wished to believe!
"Amitabha, I am well aware of the gravity of my sins and wish to atone for them with my death. I hope to clear Tao Shizhu of any wrongdoing and to dissolve any resentment in Tao Shizhu's heart..."
Liao Kong sighed deeply using the name of Buddha, brought his hands together in prayer, and sat down cross-legged. Then he severed his own meridians and passed away.
This resolute act even caused Tao Yu on the opposite shore to raise an eyebrow.
These big monks had the capability to survive up to this point, indeed.
But whether you kill yourself or not, it's none of my concern. He then snorted with laughter.
"The Buddhist Sect colluded with the Fortune Thief to create the Yangzhou massacre. Now they even want to stop me. Death is not enough for them. Liao Kong knew the weight of his sins and killed himself out of fear. But there is still unfinished evil. Once the affairs here are settled, we will have a slow reckoning."
Tao Yu cast a half-smiling glance over the martial artists present.
"The accusations made by Jie Hui and Liao Kong's confession are ironclad evidence. Those of you here, you should all be able to serve as witnesses, right? If anyone disagrees, feel free to speak up."
Tao Yu casually slapped Wang Bo, who had tried to come up and flatter him, to death; brains splattered some ten or more meters, yet his tone remained gentle.
From the cliffs on both the north and south, streams of blood continuously trickled down the rock faces, staining them red. Under such circumstances, Tao Yu's words spoken made all those remaining feel a bone-chilling wind.
"Indeed, the Buddhist Sect deserves death a thousand times over!"
"Yes! Deserves death a thousand times over!"
"Saint Heir Tao is kind-hearted, but we cannot stand such despicable tactics!"
"Saint Heir saved Yangzhou from peril. It must have been those bald donkeys in cahoots with what's-his-name, the Fortune Thief."
"Right, they even spread rumors and slandered Young Hero Tao!"
"..."
The surviving martial artists had no idea about any Fortune Thief.
They didn't know if Tao Yu had really saved the people of Yangzhou.
That wasn't important!
Even if the Yangzhou massacre truly was his doing, that wasn't important either!
As long as he denied it, that was enough.
Even if he admitted it, there would be a reason, a necessity to prevent further spread!
All they knew was that even without a dignified way out, they had to construct one themselves!
After all, the people of the Buddhist Sect had conspired with the Fortune Thief to create a massacre of the living dead!
That must be it!
This, was the truth!
It was the truth written upon the two blood-red cliffs!
Even Song Que, Ning Daoqi, the injured Bi Xuan, Fu Cailin, these grandmasters, at this moment, showed hints of a tragic expression and lowered their heads.
In fact, as grandmasters, they viewed life and death with detachment and didn't fear dying.
Your adventure continues at empire
Ning Daoqi had risked his life to stop Song Que.
But now, faced with the terrifying might of Tao Yu, none could utter words of rebuttal.
Shi Feixuan's face was also deathly pale at this moment, but she likewise lowered her head, her voice tight,
"The Buddhist Sect... unforgivable sins..."
As they had carelessly spread rumors, oppressed with public opinion, and slandered before, now, it all came back to them in the same manner.
Every drink and morsel is predestined.
The boomerang thrown didn't know when it would hit oneself on the forehead...
...
Seeing the martial artists from both sides put down their weapons and respectfully salute him, clamoring about penalizing the Buddhist sect and the Fortune Thief, Tao Yu merely remained indifferent.
Always attacking from a distance, Tao Yu now didn't have a single drop of blood on him, he then let out a light chuckle,
"Very good, come see me in Yuzhou, none of you should be missing."
Having said that, he leaped down toward that five-toothed large ship's deck and gently alighted.
There are quite a few among these people who could become future trainers, and though many have been killed, the rest have become obedient!
Tao Yu's voice, like a paralyzing spell, made those martial artists who were prepared to flee dare not act rashly.
Watching the five-toothed large ship cut the chain and drift away, in the end, they could only head toward Yuzhou, the city built in the mountains!
Relying on horseback riding, and with the shorter distance, they are indeed faster than the five-toothed large ship sailing upstream against the current...
Aside from these martial artists, within the dense woods, there were several figures stepping on top of the treetops watching the earlier scene.
Bian Bufu only felt shivers down his spine; he then turned his head, trembling, and said to Zhu Yuyan,
"Sect Master, this, this..."
"What about this? This is our Yin Gui Saint Heir approaching the grand achievement of assembling the Demon Strategy. Liven up, we're also going over."
Zhu Yuyan's breath quickened beneath her veil, causing it to flutter.
Her lifelong wish was to personally take down Shi Zhixuan and to make the Yin Gui Faction grow stronger; this was her obsession!
To think that an ordinary-looking treaty would actually let such a mighty person assume the mantle of the Yin Gui Saint Heir and start making power moves!
Having just imparted the Sky Demon Great Technique, the other party really honored their promise and acted under the title of the Yin Gui Saint Heir!
Zhu Yuyan could tell that the other party just wanted to gather the Demon Strategy for a Holy Gate title, but whose title was used was also very important.
This was definitely a huge gain!
Indeed, the name of our Yin Gui Faction has been stinking to high heaven, but, after today, the Martial World will revere Yin Gui!
If he really can complete the grand achievement of assembling the Demon Strategy...
Afterward, Zhu Yuyan turned her gaze to Wanwan, who was also standing dazed as a wooden chicken beside her, and suddenly gave a charming smile,
"Wanwan, how has your master treated you..."
...
Yuzhou, a strategic town connecting Ba Shu to the Yangtze River and communicating with the south of the river.
It is also a city completely built upon the mountains.
On the docks of Yuzhou, there was usually a constant coming and going of people; the goods of Yuzhou would often be transported by merchant teams to this place and then would flow downstream, making the place incredibly busy.
It can be said to be the busiest dock in the entire Great Sui Dynasty, second only to Yangzhou.
However, today, this normally bustling dock was put on pause; the usually busy dockworkers were nowhere to be seen, with only martial artists gathering in full formation.
At this time, the martial artists looking at the five-toothed large ship slowly approaching the shore were feeling myriad emotions.
The previous bloodshed at the Yuzhou Gorge was like a dream to them even now!
How could there be such a powerhouse in this world!
Whether it was that earth-shattering strike shattering the boulders or the dragon dance that followed, everything was too terrifying.
So terrifying that, although the other party didn't pursue, nobody along the way dared to escape!
Excluding those who died from serious injuries, even those crippled wounded were begging for help and propped themselves with crutches to come.
Fortunately, according to the opponent's tone, they didn't seem to have any intention of annihilating everyone.
At this time, the Li and Song factions could be said to be distinctly divided into two sides.
One side was Shi Feixuan, Ning Daoqi, Song Que, while the other was Li Shentong, Bi Xuan and Fu Cailin.
Although they were supposed to be in opposition and competing for power over the world, now there was no hint of hostilities, and all eyes were locked on the five-toothed large ship coming ashore.
Their expressions were quite complex...
