Chapter 267: The Fierce Battle Against Zheng Zisheng
Chapter 267: The Fierce Battle Against Zheng Zisheng
What a damn disgusting display!
Several Hybrid Elemental Masters quietly cursed, especially Yu Yuehu. If it weren't for Chen Zhong protecting him, he would have loved to flay that bastard alive right now.
What a despicable person with such good fortune.
Even in such a dire situation, he managed to survive, while his brother's life hangs in the balance, and it's uncertain if he can be saved.
"Thank you, Senior, for saving me."
Yu Yuehu composed himself and bowed once more to the young man.
With the other party's strength and cultivation, he deserved to be addressed as a Senior.
"You're welcome," Shen Yi nodded and walked towards Zheng Zisheng.
"Senior, don't believe his nonsense..."
The others whispered a reminder, having already offended the Xuan Guang Cave, they weren't afraid of offending them further.
Aside from other things, the two treasures on the young man were enough to arouse their greed.
If they were in front of Zhang Zhenren, and he bullied the young man to take away his treasures, it was something the Xuan Guang Cave might very well do.
"Senior."
Chen Zhong nodded slightly, making way for Shen Yi.
Since the others had already given their reminder, he didn't need to say more.
Whether or not to make a connection was up to the young man.
A Qing glanced at Zheng Zisheng, his expression complicated, but since Shen Yi didn't say anything, he quietly followed behind Chen Zhong.
After all, the fact that the other party was willing to bring him along was already a great favor, so it was better to cause as little trouble as possible.
However, the hundreds of lives of the tribe that had been passed down from mouth to mouth made him feel that Shen Yi might be at a huge disadvantage when dealing with Xuan Guang Cave.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone present.
Shen Yi walked up to Zheng Zisheng.
"..."
Zheng Zisheng, a venerable Upper Realm Hybrid Elemental Master, couldn't bring himself to call Shen Yi "Senior."
He could only smile and nod slightly.
Then, a palm suddenly appeared in his eyes, and a bone-chilling coldness burst forth from the slender fingers!
"Are you insane?!"
He roared in anger, his body glowing as he frantically mobilized his greatly consumed Daoyin.
Zheng Zisheng couldn't understand why this person would try to kill him right off the bat when they had no grudges or enmity, and he hadn't said anything offensive.
But that moment of bewilderment cost him his chance to escape.
Shen Yi's palm quickly landed on Zheng Zisheng's skull, and to prevent any last-minute lifesaving tricks, he forcefully activated the Cold Jade Mystical Silk Hand for the first time.
Combined with the terrifying power bestowed by the five Demon Kings.
He directly crushed Zheng Zisheng's physical body.
As the Daoyin tried to escape, a horrifying cold surge erupted, freezing it solid.
The crisp sound of shattering ice rang in their ears.
Zheng Zisheng's Daoyin was covered in cracks, and only his eyes remained, filled with shock and fury. He stared fixedly at Shen Yi, as if about to unleash a howl of unwillingness.
However, a pair of eerie vertical pupils suddenly appeared in his line of sight.
A sharp wolf howl exploded in his mind.
His already panicked soul was violently shaken and swiftly turned into a cracked jade doll.
It was only at this moment that Chen Zhong snapped back to his senses: "Senior, stop!"
Shen Yi held the jade doll in his hand and tossed it, looking puzzled: "..."
The man was already dead, what was there to stop?
Chen Zhong stared at the jade doll in shock, completely unable to comprehend why things had escalated so quickly.
If the news of Zheng Zisheng's death at their hands were to spread, the others might be able to flee and evade the blame from Xuan Guang Cave.
But where could they escape in the Great Qian Dynasty?
How believable would it be to say that a peerless genius descended from the heavens, slaying demons and then killing Zheng Zisheng?
Who would believe that only one person died, and everyone else was unharmed...?!
Moreover, Zhang Zhenren was still in his cave abode.
As expected, venturing out brought new gains.
One could never amass a substantial fortune by staying cooped up in the Great Qian Dynasty.
"Ah?"
A Qing watched as Zheng Zisheng's corpse and slapped his forehead.
As expected of Sect Master Shen, his actions were indeed extraordinary.
Each step he took was beyond A Qing's expectations.
However... if Father were to find out that Xuan Guang Cave had lost another disciple, the entire tribe would probably rejoice.
With this thought, A Qing quickly took out some paper and a brush, intending to record the features of this sect master.
Before he could begin writing, Shen Yi walked over, snatched the brush from his hand, and gave him a sideways glance.
Record, record, record. Even at a murder scene, you want to record?
Should I just go straight to Xuan Guang Cave and report this?
A Qing scratched his head and suddenly realized what he was doing. He quickly apologized, "Sorry, sorry... it's a habit."
"Alright, follow me."
Shen Yi glanced at Chen Zhong and didn't offer any further explanation.
The biggest advantage of this trip was that no one knew his background, so whatever he did wouldn't be associated with the Great Qian Martial Temple.
It gave him fewer restraints.
Therefore, he didn't plan to explain the situation to this Inspection Envoy.
After all, sending the other party back to the Great Qian Dynasty would resolve a lot of potential troubles.
"... "
Chen Zhong released his palm.
With the situation having escalated to this point, if he still insisted on challenging this senior, he would be asking for death.
Zheng Zisheng was from Xuan Guang Cave, not his own father.
Now that the man was dead, a weight was lifted from Chen Zhong's heart, and he felt a sense of relief.
At this point, he could only take things one step at a time.
Thinking thus, he took a step forward to follow Shen Yi.
The other Hybrid Elemental Masters made way, and although the technique hadn't fallen into their hands, they felt it was more acceptable for the youth to acquire it than Zheng Zisheng.
Moreover, the young man had taken responsibility for the whole situation.
Once they left the cave, they wouldn't have to hide anymore.
"Thank you, Senior, for avenging my brother. If there's anything that Yu's brothers can help with, please don't hesitate to ask!"
Yu Yuehu bowed, and this time, aside from his fear of the other party's strength, there was also a touch of sincerity in his tone.
The influence of Xuan Guang Cave was indeed too overwhelming.
Once they left this place, the Yu family would never have another opportunity to take revenge.
"I need to take my brother to recuperate first. Farewell."
After speaking, he hurriedly lifted his brother and flew out.
"We shall take our leave as well."
The others also summoned their Daoyins and prepared to leave. With Xuan Guang Cave and the Thousand Demon Cave involved, and now with the appearance of this mysterious genius, they felt that this cave dwelling expedition was beyond their capabilities as ordinary Hybrid Elemental Masters.
It would be wise to make preparations to leave.
"Oh?"
Chen Zhong looked on curiously and noticed that the youth only nodded slightly to anyone who wanted to leave.
This indicated that the young man didn't intend to use them as scouts.
But why did he choose to keep Chen Zhong behind?
Before he could figure it out, Shen Yi had already walked away.
"Help me tally the gains and categorize everything properly."
Shen Yi handed over the three storage bags to A Qing.
This kind of task was not suitable for a demon like Qinghua Furen. She wouldn't be able to recognize valuable items and was rather clumsy.
"Okay! Thank you, Sect Master Shen."
A Qing happily took the bags. The purpose of his trip was to broaden his horizons, and what better way to do that than by inspecting someone else's storage artifacts?
"You're welcome."
Shen Yi nodded and turned his attention to the items in his hand—a jade slip and a thick book.
