Chapter 70: Old Drunkard Duo Ji

Wu Fuxiang could no longer wait to get his hands on the Yang Restoration Body Sculpting Pill . The moment he lifted the lid, he looked down impatiently . Suddenly, a beam of water shot at him from the cauldron . Wu Fuxiang was a peak Transformation Realm expert, but he had never expected that Xiang Shaoyun would still be alive within the cauldron . Thus, his guard was completely down . Because of that, the scalding water landed right on his face .

"AHHH!"

The heat burned his face, causing him to yell out in pain . Not everyone was as resistant to high temperatures as Xiang Shaoyun . At the same instant, Xiang Shaoyun leaped out the cauldron, gathered all his strength in his fist, and punched Wu Fuxiang's chest .

Lightning Bolt Fist!

Might of thunder, force of lightning!

Bang!

Wu Fuxiang couldn't even defend himself in time before he was struck and sent into retreat . Although Xiang Shaoyun had grown stronger, his explosive punch was only able to cause Wu Fuxiang to cough up a mouthful of blood .

The gap between the Astral Realm and the Transformation Realm was too big, with more than 10 minor stages between them . It was not possible for Xiang Shaoyun to kill Wu Fuxiang with one punch .

"Old bastard, die!" Xiang Shaoyun did not let go of the available opening . With a roar, he mustered all his strength and rained down punches of Lightning Bolt Fists on Wu Fuxiang . Using the Lightning Bolt Fist, crackling electricity snaked around his fist . Thus, his punches were not powered by astral energy alone . Each punch was as powerful as the attack of an eighth-stage Astral Realm cultivator .

This was quite a terrifying combat prowess as Xiang Shaoyun had unleashed a might four stages above his current stage . This unnatural combat prowess was greatly related to the oddity that had occurred in his body .

Bang! Bang!

Tens of punches landed on Wu Fuxiang's body while sounds of explosions rumbled . Unfortunately, the attacks seemed to be ineffective as an energy barrier had formed around Wu Fuxiang's body, blocking all of Xiang Shaoyun's attacks .

Xiang Shaoyun felt like he was punching an unbreakable iron bastion, his attacks completely fruitless . This was the might of a Transformation Realm expert . One would be able to form an energy barrier that protected one's body against normal attacks .

"Bastard! I'll swallow you alive!" Wu Fuxiang wailed—eyes still shut—and slammed his palm toward Xiang Shaoyun .

Even though Wu Fuxiang was unable to see, he was still able to sense Xiang Shaoyun . Instantly, his palm arrived before Xiang Shaoyun's chest . The palm carried with it an incredible might, one that no Astral Realm cultivator would be able to resist . Even those in the Transformation Realm would die if hit by such an attack . This was an attack by a furious peak Transformation Realm expert, an extremely terrifying attack .

"It's over!" Wu Fuxiang’s aura was completely locked on to Xiang Shaoyun . Thus, Xiang Shaoyun had no way of avoiding the attack . But right this moment, a thunderous voice rang out .  

"The likes of you are not worthy of touching my young master!"

The sound wave surrounded Wu Fuxiang, shattering his eardrums and sending him flying and coughing up blood . A sound wave alone had seriously wounded a peak Transformation Realm expert . How terrifying was this sound wave exactly?

It was worth noting that the person who shouted was already holding back . He wasn't exactly sparing Wu Fuxiang, but he was leaving Wu Fuxiang for Xiang Shaoyun . The newcomer was not Elder Zhen Peng . Rather, he was a sloppy, one-armed old man . No matter how one looked at him, he did not seem like a remarkable expert . One truly couldn't judge a book by its cover .

"Young master, are you alright?" the old man arrived beside Xiang Shaoyun and asked deferentially .

When Xiang Shaoyun saw the newcomer, a smile originating from the depths of his heart bloomed on his face . He said, "Old drunkard, I'm fine . I knew you wouldn't abandon me for real!"

The old drunkard's name was Duo Ji, a devoted guardian of Xiang Shaoyun who had helped him escape the sect . Without Duo Ji, Xiang Shaoyun would have died long ago . Looking at the missing arm, Xiang Shaoyun's heart pained . That arm had been lost for the sake of saving him .

"How can this old servant abandon the young master? I only left because that was young master's request back then . But subsequently, I understand that young master merely wanted to grow strong with your own strength . Thus, I came looking for you again," the old drunkard gave a simple explanation .

Before Xiang Shaoyun joined the Martial Hall Palace, he had been staying with the old drunkard . But he did not wish to be guarded by the old drunkard all the time . Thus, he chased the old drunkard away and even pretended to give up on himself . He was afraid that one day, his enemies would find them and the old drunkard would suffer harm because of him . On top of that, he also wanted to achieve something relying only on himself . He did not want to rely on the old drunkard for everything . If he did, he would not be able to grow .

Xiang Shaoyun sighed . "Old drunkard, it's all my fault . "

"Young master, please don't say that . It's the fault of those traitors . A day will come when the sect master returns and all of them will pay the price for their actions!" the old drunkard said furiously .

When Xiang Shaoyun heard the old drunkard mentioning the sect master, a gentle look covered his face . "Even if Father does not return, I only need 10 years . In 10 years, I will definitely return to the sect, kill all the traitors, and retake everything that belongs to my Xiang Clan!"

Xiang Shaoyun spoke resolutely, his eyes filled with confidence .

"I have full confidence in you, young master . With your talent, that will definitely happen!" the old drunkard agreed .

In the span of only two months, Xiang Shaoyun had reached fourth-stage Astral Realm from third-stage Basic Realm . That was a speed worthy of the title "freak" . The old drunkard was clear this young master of his was no less talented than the sect master . Perhaps the young master's talent even surpassed the sect master’s .

"By the way, since you have been around, were you the one who had killed off those pursuers before?" Xiang Shaoyun asked .

"Yes . I couldn’t sit around when I saw you in danger," the old drunkard replied .

"Um . Stop following me around anymore . I will be able to protect myself for now . I need you to do something else for me instead," Xiang Shaoyun said .

"But what if they find you?" the old drunkard asked with a frown .

"It will be at least another year before their search reaches here . You don't have to worry about me," Xiang Shaoyun said . He then added, "I need you to go protect my sister . Keep her safe . "

"The little princess is well protected by the 13 eagles and a powerful master . Nobody will dare to harm her," said the old drunkard with reverence .

"Even so, that girl has a bad temper . If she decides to do something stupid, it will put her in danger, and it will be too late for us to go look for her then . Old drunkard, you must protect her from the shadows . Also, try to find out how many of my scattered brothers are still alive . I will personally return in the future for my revenge," Xiang Shaoyun gave out one command after another .
