Master Yi Jing gave Zhu Xirui a meaningful smile, and then used his eyes to appease him and said, “Commander Zhu, I know what I should and shouldn’t do.” Then he turned around, looked at Chu Yunsheng and said, “young man, I was fortunate enough to see the portrait of my master’s close friend, and it was painted by my master personally. If I may, I would like to see your palm. Whether you are really the descendant of his close friend or not, I can tell it by reading your palm.”

“Oh? You know Palmistry?” Chu Yunsheng was slightly surprised. Originally he did not want to show him, but when he thought about it again, he also could not figure out if the white-dressed man was telling the truth or not. However, if he really had a disciple, then by showing him his palm, it would also help him figure out those questions.

If this Yi Jing old man could really use some strange method to read his palm, then what the white-dressed swordsman said would most likely be true, and he should trust him, but if this old man denied his identity, then it could either mean that this old man probably did not have the so-called palm-reading ability, and he was lying, or maybe the white-dressed swordsman was lying. He may really have a close friend, but it definitely would not be his ancestor.

But seeing the old man was quite confident in his own ability, Chu Yunsheng decided to let him read it.

As soon as he made up his mind, he reached out his right hand with an open palm. The old man called Yi Jing moved a half step forward and gently brushed Chu Yunsheng’s palm.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Yunsheng felt a wave soft and gentle energy went into his palm, and Master Yi Jing’s facial expression suddenly changed!

“Young man, can I have a look at your left hand as well?”

At this time, everyone could feel that the voice of Master Yi Jing started to tremble all of sudden as if he was desperately trying to suppress something.

Chu Yunsheng frowned and was no longer willing to reach his other hand out. Although the energy in the old man’s hands was gentle, it made him feel uncomfortable, it gave him a feeling of being peeped by someone. To prevent any accident, he did not want to take the “risk”.

He didn’t move, so master Yi Jing could only wait anxiously. Every second seemed like some kind of suffering to the old man.

As time slowly ticked by, the breathing sounds around him became clearer and heavier. Finally, someone could not bear with it and said angrily, “Chu Yunsheng, do you know what kind of status my Shigong (note: master’s master) has? Do you know that for many people, this is once in a lifetime opportunity! Don’t you dare to disrespect— ”

The one who said this was a young man, who accompanied master Yi Jing to the banquet. Probably, he was accustomed to other people’s praises and compliments, and he had never seen master Yi Jing speak to someone so humbly before, so the resentment, which he wanted to suppress since the moment master Yi Jing spoke to Chu Yunsheng, erupted completely.

However, all he heard was Master Yi Jing suddenly turned around and shouted, “Shut up!”

Chu Yunsheng was quite surprised that he, who was already more than eighty years old, could still shout so loudly like that. But at the same time, he also became even more vigilant. The arrogant words of the handsome young man would not make him angry. Years of combat experience have already made him become only wary of the targets that would pose dangers to his life. He would not be distracted by some harmless people.

“Young man. I apologize to you on behalf of him.” Master Yi Jing said apologetically, but Chu Yunsheng could clearly hear the anxiousness in his tone as if he desperately trying to suppress a certain emotion, “my ability isn’t perfect, so I really need to see both of your hands to judge whether it is true or not, I can promise you that as long as it is true, I am willing to do my best to help you want to do anything.”

Chu Yunsheng’s face instantly darkened. He was staring at the old man’s face as his eyes were emitting cold gleams. The past experience told him that the old man might be lying! But why would he lie? What could cause him to have such a big reaction that his emotions were about to overflow from his eyes!?

Was it related to the white-dressed swordsman or was it something that related to himself? There seemed to be a huge secret!

Chu Yunsheng decided to give it a try. He knew that the old man definitely knew something that he did not know, so he wanted to find out what he knew, maybe, he would be able to extract some clues from the old man.

“I can show you my left hand,” Chu Yunsheng paused, stared into the eyes of the old man, and emphasized word by word, ” But no matter what you see, don’t spill out a single word about it. Otherwise, It will cost your life!”

As the voice fell, all the senior officers and government officials present only felt that there was a gust of cold wind blowing behind the back of their heads. They could not help but shiver all of sudden.

It was a blunt threat, and he was threatening Master Yi Jing, who was a very respectable person and influential figure. However, no one in the hall thought that he was bluffing. They did not know why they all felt that the young man called Chu Yunsheng would really do it.

“Okay.”

Master Yi Jing seemed to have made a very difficult decision as if he had given up everything else.

Chu Yunsheng was ready to attack anytime. While secretly locating the battle cloak and the flaming sword in the storage talisman, he slowly extended his left hand.

Master Yi Jing once again brushed his hand over Chu Yunsheng palm with extreme caution, just like last time...

The gentle energy went into Chu Yunsheng’s palm again, and the feeling of being peeped appeared again. Chu Yunsheng stared closely at the old man’s every move, while controlling the energy inside his body and ready to stop the gentle energy that was invading his body.

At the same time, a large number of heavily-armed soldiers quietly entered the hall, blocking each exit with live ammunition, and a large number of top snipers in the army also rushed to the designated locations.

Suddenly, the old man raised his head and looked directly at Chu Yunsheng’s eyes, and said in extreme shock, “You have no life! You should’ve been long dead, but why are you still alive!?”

Chu Yunsheng’s eyes were even colder, and he began to draw out his sword from his storage talisman.

And when the old man’s hand completely brushed past Chu Yunsheng’s palm, the old man’s face changed again. His fingers were shaking, and he was so terrified that he suddenly screamed, “you, you are not dead. You don’t even have a life line. You... you are not even supposed to be born! You are not supposed to be born! You should’ve been strangled to death when you are still in...! Wait... You... Who are you!?”

The old man’s scream became louder and louder, and his face became more and more twisted, which was extremely frightening.

Commander-in-chief Chen and other senior officers and officials were completely stunned, and the young man, who came with the old man, was also frightened. Everyone looked at each other not knowing what happened.

However, as if the old man suddenly remembered something horrible, he suddenly jumped up and screamed, “This is the prophecy. The prophecy is about to become true! Kill him! Quick! Kill him! He is a fiend, no, he is the devil who came from the very depth of hell! Quick! KILL HIM!!!”

Chu Yunsheng had already drawn out his sword completely. The flame instantly spread along the blade to the tip of the sword. And being filled with the black gas, his red battle cloak quickly turned completely black.

While the old man screamed, he also seemed to realize something, but it still was not very clear. It was not his identity, but the doubt caused by the gentle energy that went into his palm.

Master Yi Jing became completely crazy. His eyes were wide open in fear and his mind was still in complete shock. However, as if he could not wait for other people to initiate the attack, his body suddenly jumped toward Chu Yunsheng with both hands reaching Chu Yunsheng’s neck, as if he wanted to strangle him to death.

The wind caused by him when he jumped up did not fit with the fact that he was a senile eighty years old man at all. Especially the gentle energy hidden in his hands, like the water that could carry a boat can also overturn the boat, it had incredible lethality.

“Death wish!”

Chu Yunsheng immediately moved slightly sideways to dodge the old man while gathering his strength. He quickly lifted his right leg and converged his energy into the muscles in his right leg. Using the sixteen diagrams of body movements he learned from the divine realm, he suddenly kicked his leg out, the powerful blast of air followed the right leg muscle and bone, heading straight toward the old man with a tremendous crashing force.

Although the old man was crazy, he hasn’t completely lost his mind. Seeing Chu Yunsheng’s lightning kick, and feeling the powerful force coming straight towards him, he hurriedly closed both of his hands and placed them before his chest, intending to block the kick. He had jumped toward Chu Yunsheng too quickly, and Chu Yunsheng’s kick was also very fast, there was no time for him to dodge the kick, so he could only use his both hands trying to block the kick.

However, before Chu Yunsheng’s leg touched the old man’s hands, his pure Ben Ti Yuan Qi collided with the old man’s soft energy first. One was like a strong and mighty shockwave, and the other was like a soft sponge, the collision was not violent, and ordinary people would not be able to see what happened during the collision, only Chu Yunsheng and the old man could feel the powerful shockwave directly pushed the soft sponge in, causing a deep dent, and pushing the old man’s hands away from his chest.

This set of combat techniques was actually not very powerful, but it had one special characteristic, it was its impact force. It did not use the true power of Ben Ti Yuan Yi, but only relied on the impact force caused by the sudden blow. When Chu Yunsheng was in Shu Du city, he once used this impact force to kick a muscular metal-elemental guy and sent him flying.

However, this old man had neither the physique of that muscular guy nor the almost indestructible metal-elemental energy to protect him. The soft and strange energy could only serve as a buffer. If there was enough time, it may be able to weaken the kick and probably stop it completely, but Chu Yunsheng’s speed was very fast, and he did not give him an opportunity to use other methods to stop his kick. At the same time, the impact of his kick was also quite powerful. After the old man’s hands were violently pushed away, the energy flow inside the old man’s body was disrupted. But before Chu Yunsheng’s kick arrived, a visible footprint already appeared on the old man’s clothes.

All the senior officers present could only see that Chu Yunsheng kicked Master Yi Jing, and then there was a visible footprint on Master Yi Jing’s chest, and then Master Yi Jing was sent flying backward. However, none of them knew that actually, Chu Yunsheng’s kick didn’t touch the old man at all.

Chu Yunsheng felt very strange. Because this was not the most dangerous moment, and he still needed to keep enough Ben Ti Yuan Qi to deal with the unknown number of soldiers that were surrounding the building, so he did not use full strength, but with this old man’s body condition and age, even if he had soft energy to protect him, this kick should have been more than enough to heavily injure him.

But at the last moment before the kick arrived, and when Chu Yunsheng thought that he could actually injure the old man, the old man suddenly flew out. He could clearly feel that there was an extra layer of obstruction between his kick and the old man’s chest, and that layer of obstruction was made of a sudden fluctuation of the chaotic heaven and earth energy.

However, if it was just this, it still would not make Chu Yunsheng feel cautious. Awakeners in the dark age all had their own secret life-saving techniques. It was not uncommon to control an energy layer around the body to protect themselves from attacks. What really made Chu Yunsheng’s heart sink was what happened next.

When the strong shockwave formed by Ben Ti Yuan Qi went through the soft energy layer that was created by the old man’s both hands before his chest, the Ben Ti Yuan Qi energy around the kick wasn’t dissipated nor was it blocked. Instead, some amount of it disappeared in a very strange way!

Although the part that disappeared was not that much, nor did it affect the power of the kick, such a situation had never happened before. He didn’t know how the energy disappeared and where it went.

Chu Yunsheng has already put down his leg, but he was still confused by the disappearance of the energy. However, his actions were not affected at all. He would not stop the attack or hesitate because of a small problem during the battle. When the attack was successful, he would not hesitate to attack, again and again. This was his fighting style.

With the impact force, the old man was sent flying all the way back until he was mashed onto a sofa not far away. The senior officers around him quickly moved back to avoid being knocked over by the flying old man.

More and more guards stepped forward to protect Commander Chen and other important figures and escorted them to a much safer place in the hall, and quickly established defensive measures.

Not many people here knew how competent master Yi Jing is in terms of fighting, but they knew clearly how powerful Chu Yunsheng was, so before they figured out what exactly was going on, they decided to evacuate and wait first.

This was a military compound, not some martial arts competition stages. Although Master Yi Jing was respected by a large number of senior officials and officers, he had no right to command the military, nor give them any orders. To put it bluntly, all those people needed was just the old man’s ability, they didn’t want him to become their superior.

So when Master Yi Jing shouted to them that they needed to kill Chu Yunsheng, all the officers, including Zhu Xirui, were sweating heavily. There were so many high-ranked military officers and government officials in the hall. Fighting with Chu Yunsheng here would have unimaginable consequences. Many of those important people would die.

Of course all the senior generals at present naturally would not listen to such a ridiculous request. There was only one reason why they mobilized a large number of soldiers into the hall, it was to protect themselves, and to prevent Chu Yunsheng from causing unnecessary casualties.

Of course, if possible, they also needed to stop them from fighting each other. After coming back from the shock, Fang Baixiao quickly shouted to Chu Yunsheng from ten meters away, while his forehead was covered with sweat, “Mr. Chu, calm down, please calm down! violence won’t solve the problem.”

However, he did not expect that Chu Yunsheng had completely ignored him. Holding the flaming sword, pointing the sword tip downwards, he quickly dashed toward the old man Yi Jing, who was smashed onto a sofa. Before he reached the old man, he jumped up high while holding the sword above his head, and hacked the sword at the old man.

“Since you wish to die, then I will fulfill your wish!”

If the old man wanted to dodge this hack, he would have enough time. However, it would not be able to help him much. Unlike the combat technique he had used earlier, the flaming blade of the Fire race could cast out fire-elemental energy blades, as long as Chu Yunsheng slightly adjusted the direction of the sword, he could use the fire-elemental energy blades to hack the old man into halves.

What was interesting was that the old man didn’t dodge this hack, but jumped up and quickly moved towards the sword that was hacked down. In this way, before the fire elemental energy blade was formed, he had already arrived before the sword.

This fire elemental energy blade skill came from the Fire race, but the military had reports about this skill when it was used in Dan Yang city, so Chu Yunsheng was not surprised that this old man knew some countermeasures. However, he still believed that his sword hack would be able to kill this old man.

Of course, the old man Yi Jing didn’t want to get himself killed. As soon as he arrived before the sword, he reached out both hands to catch the hacking blade. To other people at the scene, the old man quickly and accurately stopped the sword with bare hands, but in fact, the old man’s hands did not touch the blade. What actually stopped the hack, was the strange layer of energy around his hands.

At this time, Chu Yunsheng once again felt a strange layer of energy, and his hack was also weakened rapidly. With this layer of energy, the old man would not be injured by the sword.

But the battle continued, without any hesitation, Chu Yunsheng immediately pulled back the sword, switching the sword move from hack to slash, slashing the sword horizontally, aiming at the old man’s waist. At the same time, he infused more energy into the sword. He wanted to see how long this old man could withstand his attack.

Meanwhile, in the hall, all the deployed soldiers have moved into their allocated position, even trump-card snipers have been well positioned, waiting for further commands. Only now, the evacuated officers and political leaders felt safe enough to persuade Chu Yunsheng to stop attacking Yi Jing from a safe distance.

Ignoring the fact that Chu Yunsheng ignored the persudation from the officers, old man Yi Jing seemed to have decided that he had to kill Chu Yunsheng at this moment at all cost. Despite the lack of his fighting capability, from his action and expression, it seemed that the old man would not hesitate to throw away his life in order to kill Chu Yunsheng.

However, as soon as Chu Yunsheng pulled back the sword, the old man moved even closer to Chu Yunsheng again. He suddenly grabbed Chu Yunsheng’s hands and pressed his body closer to his hands as additional support. Instantly, the sword slash was stopped again.

This time, Chu Yunsheng experienced the old man’s strange energy even more clearly, and he finally realized what was wrong with the old man’s energy, and where did his energy go. At the time he realized this, he also could not help but be stunned!

‘Did he just turn my Ben Ti Yuan Qi back to Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi!? Or is this some energy decaying ability? There are people with this kind of ability existing in this world!?’

While Chu Yunsheng was still thinking, the old man immediately noticed the opportunity and shouted, “what are you all waiting for! While I can still buy some time with him, kill him, quick! Don’t give him any chance! He shouldn’t have come to this world! Prophecy will not be wrong, once the devil’s child is born, everything will be ruined! For your family, for your children, for everyone’s lives, I beg you to quickly give the order now, shoot him dead! Even if you have to kill me along with him, now!”

Chu Yunsheng snorted coldly and said, “do you really think that you can stop me?”

Seeing Chu Yunsheng’s eyes became colder and colder, the old man’s brows twitched a few times, then he shouted even more desperately, “Do it! What are you waiting for?! Don’t worry about me! Just kill him! ”

Chu Yunsheng was quite angered. Originally, he decided to spare this old man’s life in order to satisfy the generals in the military. But this damned old man is getting weirder and weirder, which raised his own killing intent.

To kill old man Yi Jing, he can continuously strike him with a fire elemental energy blade until the old man is exhausted, which will take a while. However, in order to avoid the uncertain factor from the military, Chu Yunsheng immediately infused the small amount of black gas that he restored when he was in the bathroom into the sword.

Although he did not know why the black would appear, before he killed this old man, he wanted to see if this old man was able to turn his black gas into some other form of energy.

Commander Chen, who has already retreated to the corner, was still hesitant. His character has always been like this. The generals around him also had different opinions, so the soldiers could only stand there with their guns awaiting orders, not daring to make any moves. These soldiers were specially trained. They were the elite troops. Although it was the first time for them to see the strange battle between Chu Yunsheng and the old man, they calmed down very quickly.

While no one else was moving, Chu Yunsheng lifted his leg and kicked the old man’s stomach again while his hands were grasping his sword tightly. And as soon as the old man was kicked away, he lifted the sword again and stabbed toward the old man, baiting him to use the old method.

The old man quickly got up and attempted to catch the sword again, intending to use this and his agility to escape this attack.

But what he did not expect was that the black gas just went through the layer of energy around his palm like nothing was there. In this world, according to Chu Yunsheng’s knowledge, there was only the seed and that hundreds of millions of fragments inside his zero-dimensional space were able to affect the black gas.

The old man immediately found the strangeness in his hand, his eyes widened in horror and his body became completely stiff as if he had seen the devil descend on this world.

As the black energy passed through the soft energy layer, the soft energy inside began to quickly collapse wherever it went, forming a “vacuum zone” that Chu Yunsheng has never experienced before.

Then came a huge powerful suction, or maybe it was the pressure from the space around the “vacuum zone”, the pressure sucked and pushed everything around it rapidly, as if it was trying to fill a ‘hole’ that was not allowed to exist in this world.

Such a powerful suction not only sucked the old man toward the tip of the sword, but it also sucked Chu Yunsheng toward the old man. The process was very rapid and unstoppable. The speed was so fast that Chu Yunsheng had an illusion that the space between him and the old man was removed by something all of sudden!

By the time their sights were finally re-adjusted, the sword tip had already gone into the old man’s body, and the smell of the burning flesh began to spread out in the hall.

At this time, the old man’s face was completely filled with shock and disbelief. Ignoring the pain, he stuttered, “Origin...tracing! This is the real retrospective technique! How could you possibly know this kind of technique? You are the devil, how can you know the divine technique in the prophecy! Who the hell are you!?”

Meanwhile, in the wilderness, more than a hundred kilometers from the city of Nanjing, a scurrying white shadow suddenly stopped his escaping process. As his beautiful heroic dashing brows frowned in confusion, he murmured, “what happened? Why is there a micro-adjustment again?”
