Your Majesty, Please Stop!

Chapter 140: The Old Man's Shock

The old man, Feng San Niang, and Zhao Li walked quickly towards the gate, feeling extremely puzzled.

Just as they were talking about Xin Zhuo, he arrived!

This made people a bit confused. He was being chased by others everywhere, so logically he should be hiding, right?

After all, we also received the bounty to hunt him down in the martial world.

How dare he come? What is he doing here?

"How is Xin Zhuo?" the old man asked as they walked.

From the moment he received the bounty, he had inquired about Xin Zhuo, but there were too many rumors circulating, making it difficult to sort out.

With his age and experience, he naturally wouldn't naively think that Xin Zhuo was just a young kid that anyone could handle.

Throughout history, those who were hunted down in the martial world were either cunning villains or extremely powerful martial artists. Otherwise, they would be killed with a single palm strike, so why would there be so much trouble?

Feng San Niang thought for a moment and said, "I had a few days of contact with him at the Ge Family Manor. I couldn't discern his realm, but it seems like he has cultivated some kind of concealment cultivation technique. He managed to play around with hundreds of us, so he is undoubtedly a clever person!"

Zhao Li hesitated for a moment and said, "I saw him fighting with other bandits at the Fulong Mountain. I can confirm that he knows Hidden Weapons martial arts. When I saw him at the Qiugong Pavilion, he was already a master there. It is said that he is highly knowledgeable and understands the ways of the world. His realm is truly indiscernible!"

The old man couldn't help but form an image in his mind and asked, "Are you sure he only cultivated a concealment cultivation technique, or is his realm too high to discern?"

Feng San Niang smiled bitterly and said, "He is just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth. It's impossible for him to be so heaven-defying, right?"

The old man breathed a sigh of relief.

By this time, they had reached the gate. The three of them stood still and looked over. In the front courtyard of the Gu Family Manor, four men and one woman stood with a yellow mud dog and a broken wooden raft, their expressions complex.

In the middle, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth stood in the position of the main gate. He had a tall and slender figure, dressed like a dandy, and had a handsome face. He looked over with a friendly expression.

Feng San Niang stared at Xin Zhuo intently, her emotions complicated. She remembered that night when she went to kill Xin Zhuo, but almost ended up... She couldn't help but grit her teeth in hatred.

Zhao Li also looked at Xin Zhuo. Initially, he thought this kid had some ability to rise from a small bandit to a master at the Qiugong Pavilion, but he didn't pay too much attention to him. He didn't expect such a big commotion to happen now.

The old man also scrutinized Xin Zhuo. He was somewhat disappointed. Xin Zhuo didn't match the image he had in his mind. He had thought Xin Zhuo would be a fierce and cunning person, but he looked like an ordinary child. He asked coldly, "Old man Gu Qi, may I ask why you are here?"

Xin Zhuo smiled and cupped his fists in a salute. "I heard that the old man received the bounty from the martial world and was trying to track me down. I, Xin Zhuo, am not talented, so I came here myself to have a friendly exchange with the old man!"

This statement was reasonable and ordinary, but it sounded arrogant to the others.

Feng San Niang and Zhao Li exchanged glances, pondered for a moment, and stepped aside.

In the distance, Xue Huaiwei, Tang Shize, and Zheng Yuemo had even more complicated expressions. They were both hopeful and fearful. If the old man won, they would gain their freedom, but they were afraid that there would be no antidote for the poison. If Xin Zhuo won, they would lose their freedom and have no future.

"If both sides are injured, or if the old man wins and Xin Zhuo is severely injured, we can force him to reveal the antidote through torture. If he doesn't give it, we can use cruel methods," Yan Chizong suggested.

Everyone exchanged glances. This was a good idea!

At this moment, a hint of killing intent flashed across the old man's face. He had been famous for half his life, and now someone like Xin Zhuo dared to come and have a friendly exchange with him?

He wasn't a talkative person and didn't want to waste words.

His robe fluttered without wind, and a thick, earthy yellow True Qi surged out, instantly filling the surroundings. His aura was extremely heavy and powerful, like an impenetrable wall.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

The earthy yellow True Qi became denser and quickly spread in all directions, emitting terrifying ripples and vibrations in the air.

Like a terrifying humanoid beast.

Even a sixth-rank practitioner would not be able to get close to this kind of aura, let alone withstand it!

"Just one step away from fifth rank! Earth attribute True Qi!"

Feng San Niang and Zhao Li couldn't help but move further away, their eyes showing a hint of envy. Although being a sixth-rank practitioner was not bad, they couldn't surpass the threshold of fifth rank and reverse the Five Elements. They were always lacking.

And after fifth rank was the Half-step Great Master. When a Half-step Great Master stomped their foot, the area within several hundred miles would tremble.

Looking at Xin Zhuo again, the two women's eyes were uncertain. Xin Zhuo was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and it was speculated that his realm was around the seventh grade or slightly below sixth rank.

This age, this realm, is truly not easy, but... why has he come here? To seek death?

"Crack!"

At this moment, the old man had already forcefully stomped on a large area of stone floor, causing dust to fly up like a mountain crashing down towards Xin Zhuo.

Just this momentum alone made people feel fearful!

And facing Xin Zhuo, at this moment, a strange green True Qi was emanating from his body, instantly covering the sky and causing the surrounding stone slabs to tremble slightly.

The wind howled incessantly, even more formidable than the old man's momentum!

Feng Sanniang and Zhao Litong's pupils contracted, their faces greatly changed. This kid is also a fifth rank Five Elements Reversal Practitioner?

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old fifth rank?

The old man flying in the air naturally also noticed, his heart tightening, but relying on the advantage of striking first, he carried ten zhang of earthy yellow and smashed down with a punch.

Xin Zhuo shot up like an arrow leaving the bow, "swoosh," also shattering a slab of stone, and slapped the old man's fist.

【Crazy Dog Strikes with the Deranged Palm!】

A head-on collision!

He also wanted to test, as fellow Five Elements Reversal practitioners, how exactly his own abilities compared?

Palm against fist!

"Boom!"

A violent explosion resounded in mid-air, the earthy yellow and wooden green True Qi entangled with each other, causing the blue stone floor within a radius of ten zhang to crack neatly.

Dust filled the air.

The two figures had already separated.

Xin Zhuo had already landed on the ground, his body motionless.

And the old man opposite him fell heavily to the ground, thump thump thump, retreating ten steps.

The outcome was clear!

Xin Zhuo had a slight advantage!

Xue Huaiwei and the other five held their breaths, their hearts pounding, it was hard to say what emotions they were feeling.

Feng Sanniang and Zhao Litong also held their breaths, their eyes filled with even more complex emotions.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old fifth rank, already shocking the world, actually surpassing the old man who had been in the realm for twenty years!

The old man's Blood Qi surged incessantly at this moment, his right hand bone fingers had already deformed and couldn't grip tightly, his face alternated between blue and white, his pupils emanating a look of shock, he couldn't understand this kid's palm technique! He had never seen such a bizarre palm technique before.

The key was that even when facing his full-force punch, he remained calm and composed, as if he hadn't exerted his full strength!

He was much stronger than himself?

Taking a deep breath, "Little... friend, you can't break through this old man's earthy yellow True Qi..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xin Zhuo had already mysteriously flashed and appeared in front of him, once again slapping out a palm. Although it was just one palm, it seemed as if the sky was filled with palm shadows, vaguely resembling a bunch of red-haired dog heads swaying above his head?

What kind of devilish thing is this?

In a panic, he retaliated with a full-force punch.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Before his fist could rise, his body had already taken nine palms, the earthy yellow True Qi in disarray, he flew high into the air, and while still in mid-air, he spat out a mouthful of old blood, then heavily fell three zhang away, sliding another two zhang along the ground.

His silver hair was in disarray, his face as pale as paper.

"Cough cough cough..."

Xin Zhuo still remained in place, his body motionless, only looking at his own palm, coughing heavily a few times.

A deathly silence filled the surroundings!
