Martial arts of the heavens, I am unstoppable since I was born

Chapter 158 Encounter, interrogation (asking for monthly ticket)

"Who harmed you and your child?"

The moment the gray-clothed man's faint voice rang in her ears, the mad Ye Erniang, who was crying and laughing, suddenly launched an attack.

She grabbed Xuan Bei's left leg and swung it like a big knife, turning around and slashing horizontally, trying to cut the man in gray in two from bottom to top.

Even when she was in a state of madness, when someone tried to ask who that person was, Ye Erniang kept silent. Even when her mind was most confused, she never revealed Xuanci's name even once.

Bang!
Xuan Bei's body was thrown out and hit the door heavily, alarming the monks of Shenjie Temple outside the meditation room.

Ye Erniang took advantage of this opportunity to jump out of the window, crawling on all fours like a wild beast, and then threw herself onto the pine tree in the yard, using the momentum to escape outside.

But no matter how fancy her movements were, the man in gray still jumped up effortlessly and followed her easily.

He did not choose to subdue Ye Erniang in the Shenjie Temple, but instead planned to find a deserted place to torture her to see if Ye Erniang's lover was the person he thought.
If that's true...

Haha, old friend, we have another chance to cooperate this time.

Thinking of this, the man in gray had a gloomy look in his eyes, and his figure moved like a ball of hazy gray mist not far behind Ye Erniang, acting like a complete pervert.

……

……

"Hmm? Someone's coming?"

Ding Chunqiu was roasting a pheasant by the fire when he suddenly heard the sound of wind in the distance. A moment of hesitation appeared on his face, and he immediately stood up.

He took the roast chicken and fled into the distance.

If he were at the peak of his strength, he would naturally poison anyone who disturbed him from enjoying the roast chicken, in order to enhance his reputation as an old immortal.

But at this point, most of my strength is gone, so it’s better to do less than more.

Just because Ding Chunqiu doesn't want to cause trouble doesn't mean Ye Erniang doesn't want to shift the blame.

After escaping for most of the night, Ye Erniang had long regained consciousness and naturally discovered the man in gray who had been following her. However, the gap in their skills was so great that no matter how she moved, she could not get rid of him.

So the only thing left was to find a scapegoat.

This kind of thing does not cause any psychological burden to her at all.

Although she could feel that the person in front was also a master, she had previously sacrificed a woodcutter and a family of hunters somewhere, and the effect of stopping the man in gray was almost negligible, so she had no choice but to provoke Ding Chunqiu.

"Insanity!"

"Do you really think the old immortal dares not kill people?"

When Ding Chunqiu heard the sound of clothes fluttering behind him, he guessed what the other party was thinking. It was obvious that he wanted to take the blame!
With anger surging in his heart, Ding Chunqiu stood on the treetop and waited.

Today he wants to see who is so brave as to use him as a scapegoat!
Ye Erniang's disheveled figure soon appeared in front of him. Her disheveled hair was mixed with rotten leaves and dead branches hanging on both sides of her face. Her face was clean, but a few faint old scars could be seen on her cheeks. Her clothes were tattered like a beggar, and her overall image looked like a down-and-out woman who couldn't even get into the Beggars' Gang.

But his martial arts skills are not bad, especially his Qinggong, which has some Shaolin style...

Ding Chunqiu wasn't Xuan Bei, so he naturally didn't recognize Ye Erniang. Seeing this woman running towards him without knowing whether to live or die, the old immortal Xingxiu's eyes flashed with anger. "Well, well, you dare to treat me like a soft persimmon? I'll teach you the meaning of respect and inferiority!"

Ding Chunqiu exerted force with his feet, and the treetops instantly bent into an arc. Then his burly figure sank and bounced up again, using the elastic force to crash into Ye Erniang, as powerful as a cannonball.

Ye Erniang knew that she could not withstand this attack, but she still rushed out without looking back. Even if she died from this attack, it was better than being caught by the man in gray and tortured to reveal Xuan Ci's identity.

"Wishful thinking!" Seeing she didn't slow down at all, the gray-clothed figure immediately understood her intention and sneered mercilessly. Then he quickly increased his speed, even faster than Ding Chunqiu, and arrived at Ye Erniang's side. He grabbed Ye Erniang's hair and kicked her legs, breaking them. Then he kicked out, hitting Ding Chunqiu's palm directly. Bang!
A dull sound like the collision of earth clods rang out between the two men's palms and feet, and then the two figures retreated and stood on the trees respectively.

The man in gray grabbed Ye Erniang's hair and stood on the treetop. Although it was just a branch, the treetop did not bend. He brushed the hem of his clothes lightly and said, "What a palm power!"

Ding Chunqiu crashed into the treetop, bending it severely. He then leaped up, landing on a branch and holding onto the trunk. A flush of red washed over his face, and his eyes were filled with fear. "Is it just my bad luck, or is there something wrong with the feng shui of Dali? Why do I keep running into experts wherever I go?"

The strength of this gray-clothed man is far above his!

If he was at his peak, Ding Chunqiu would have dared to fight him with the poison of the Qi-Transforming Technique, but now...

"Your Excellency is very powerful, and Ding Chunqiu is not as good as you. Since you have important matters to attend to, Ding Chunqiu will take his leave first."

Ding Chunqiu began to think of retreating, and at the same time, his figure shot out into the distance like lightning.

The man in gray wanted to chase after her, but he heard Ye Erniang groan. He pulled her head up and found that there was a layer of gray on the woman's face. It was obvious that she had been poisoned.

"When?"

The man in gray also looked in the direction where Ding Chunqiu fled with some surprise. He didn't expect that Ding Chunqiu from the Xingxiu Sect had such superb poisoning skills.

He found a flat place nearby and threw Ye Erniang down. At the same time, he tore open the clothes on Ye Erniang's back and raised his palm to transmit true energy to remove the poison from her.

But he couldn't help but think: "Ding Chunqiu's poison trafficking skills are so superb. If I can use him, maybe I can use him to control some officials..."

Since Ding Chunqiu wanted to leave, he naturally would not leave any deadly poison on Ye Erniang, otherwise he would anger the man in gray, and the other party would definitely take revenge on him.

So the man in gray easily removed the poison from Ye Erniang.

"puff!"

Ye Erniang spat out a mouthful of blood, and while falling to the ground, she immediately raised her hand to grab her throat.

But before she could scratch her neck, she saw the man in gray pointing his finger at Ye Erniang's back and pressing her acupoints.

"Ye Erniang, I have no ill will towards you, nor do I have any ill feelings towards your lover. Who knows, he might even be my old friend..."

The man in gray seemed to have not spoken to anyone for a long time, so he was a bit rambling when he spoke. Seeing that Ye Erniang didn't say a word, he paused and said quietly:

"You think I can't guess if you don't tell me?

You mistook Xuanbei earlier. Clearly, the man's clothing, scars, and body shape are similar to Xuanbei's. Xuanbei is a senior monk from Shaolin Temple's Bodhidharma Academy. He wears purple robes and a yellow-brown cassock. Few in the entire Shaolin Temple can wear such attire. There are only one or two others with scars and a similar body shape.

"But considering age... it seems there's only one person left who has the strength and authority to cover up this matter."

Ye Erniang's body trembled slightly, her clear mind quickly fading. She shook her head frantically, covered her ears and said, "No, no, it's not him!"

The gray-robed man laughed and said, "I didn't tell you, so how do you know it's not? Xuanci!"

His tone was gentle in the first two sentences, but he suddenly raised his voice and spoke the name "Xuan Ci" at a very fast speed.

Ye Erniang was unable to react in time and froze, shaking her head frantically in denial.

The man in gray was overjoyed: "It really is him!"

If it wasn't Xuan Ci, Ye Erniang would have agreed without hesitation, considering her determination to protect him even if she went crazy. Now that she is desperately denying it, it proves that this person is Xuan Ci!
