Guan Yunpeng felt like he was going to die. His heart was stuck in his throat as he stammered and unleashed the full might of his Martial Venerable cultivation, moving towards Han Tianque's domain at an unprecedented speed.
"Hurry..."
"Hurry up..."
As he sped forward, Guan Yunpeng kept praying in his mouth, afraid he would be a step too late.
"Die!"
As he slashed down with this sword, Han Tianque fully unleashed the madness within him, his eyes flashing with icy light.
Just at this critical juncture, an even more dazzling and terrifying sword light came striking.
This sword light was even more terrifying.
In practically an instant, it shattered Han Tianque's sword light, dissipating into the horizon.
"Who is it?"
"Who dares ruin my plans?"
Seeing his sword light blocked, Han Tianque was immediately furious. Glaring, he looked to the side only to be shocked to find it was Guan Yunpeng.
Just as he was about to ask Guan Yunpeng why he had foiled his plans, he saw Guan Yunpeng, apoplectic with rage, charging at him and punching him in the face.
"Pffft!"
Han Tianque couldn't withstand Guan Yunpeng's current attacks at all. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying, heavily crashing to the ground.
"You, what are you doing?"
After crawling up from the ground, Han Tianque furiously questioned with a stiff face.
But before his voice could fall, the enraged Guan Yunpeng slashed out a sword light with the longsword in his hand, slicing towards him.
Seeing this sword light, Han Tianque was scared stiff, his body flickering as he turned and fled.
Swish!
With his sword missing its mark, Guan Yunpeng grew even more furious. With a flick of his palm, another icy radiance swept forth.
This icy radiance just barely grazed past Han Tianque's head, nearly slicing off half of it directly.
However, Guan Yunpeng still showed no intention of letting him off, his face flushed red as he unleashed another barrage of attacks at Han Tianque.
In an instant,
Han Tianque was beaten into a scrambling mess, looking wretched and miserable.
"Old man Guan, don't we have some misunderstanding here? What's going on with you?" Han Tianque cried out miserably as he shouted loudly.
"Misunderstanding?"
"I misunderstood your whole family!"
Guan Yunpeng cursed coarsely, sweeping out another sword light as he loudly shouted: "Old demon Han Tianque, I'm asking you, were you not jealous that I broke through to the Martial Venerable realm and deliberately tried to harm me?"
"Harm you?"
Han Tianque was completely confused. As he wretchedly dodged Guan Yunpeng's attacks, he cried out: "You must have gotten it wrong, how could I harm you?"
"Hmph, still not admitting it?"
Guan Yunpeng's attacks were relentless as he gloomily scolded: "Old demon Han Tianque, to think, I, Guan Yunpeng, actually misunderstood you. Over these thousands of years, I had always seen you as an intimate friend, yet I never expected you to be so despicable. I was thinking of you kindly, yet never expected you to harm me out of jealousy!"
Hearing Guan Yunpeng's stabbing words, Han Tianque felt on the verge of tears.
He couldn't figure out why Guan Yunpeng, who was fine just earlier, had suddenly become hostile.
"What exactly is going on here? Let's talk this through properly!" Han Tianque shouted.
"Talk properly?"
"I've got nothing to say to you!" Guan Yunpeng yelled furiously in response.
"You, I really don't know what's going on here!" Han Tianque anxiously jumped up and down, crying out miserably: "What offense did I commit against you? Just tell me!"
"Fine, fine! Since you're playing dumb, then I'll expose you directly!"
Guan Yunpeng pointed at the nearby martial arts hall and shouted: "I'm asking you, you clearly knew I gained an opportunity at this martial arts hall and knew it was my benefactor, yet you still tried to attack it with your sword. If that's not jealousy, then what is it? Even if you're looking to die, don't drag me down too!"
Upon hearing this,
Han Tianque was stunned speechless. His voice stammered as he asked in disbelief: "Are you saying this is the residence of the senior who gave you this opportunity?"
"What else could it be?"
Guan Yunpeng was exasperated to the point of cursing. Glancing back at the martial arts hall and seeing no movement within, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully.
Thankfully the people inside hadn't noticed yet.
Otherwise even ten lives wouldn't have been enough for them to die.
Having obtained Guan Yunpeng's confirmation, it was as if a thunderclap went off in Han Tianque's mind.
Based on the taboo he had set on Ye Bei, the only place Ye Bei had stayed in Pingjiang City was here. So wasn't this the place he was trying to extort Ye Bei's disciple at?
How
How had it become the place that gave Guan Yunpeng his opportunity?
"Did you get it wrong?" Han Tianque asked in disbelief.
"I got it wrong?"
Guan Yunpeng was furious. Just as he was about to continue lecturing Han Tianque, he seemed to notice something. Suddenly, he put away the longsword in his hand and lowered his head.
Subsequently, an old man wearing straw sandals and carrying a hoe on his shoulder walked over from the front. As he passed the two, this old man gave them a meaningful glance before carrying his hoe over to work in the barren land ahead.
"Mar...Martial Venerable?"
Seeing this old man, Han Tianque felt as if a fish bone was stuck in his throat. He was too shocked to even utter half a sentence.
But before he could recover from his shock, he saw another old man carrying an iron spade walking over. He too gave them a meaningful glance before going over to the barren land to work.
Thud!
Han Tianque's eyes widened even more in shock. Even his voice turned stuttering.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw yet another old man passing before their eyes carrying a rake, similarly going over to work in the fields.
"Ye...yet another Martial Venerable?"
After three Martial Venerables had walked past, Han Tianque felt cold sweat pouring down his body.
Since when were Martial Venerables so commonplace?
And doing farm work at that?
At this time, clanging sounds came from the front, accompanied by a stench. A man in his forties carrying buckets of feces walked over.
"Don't tell me he's also...?"
Han Tianque's eyes bulged wide.
Sure enough, as this feces carrier walked past them, he intensely sensed the profound aura coming from the other party.
Heavens!
He cried out inwardly.
What was going on here?
Martial Venerables were as common as dogs?
Ignoring the previous three working the land, even the last one was carrying feces. He had an intense feeling that he had come to another world.
Han Tianque was shocked speechless, but noticed Guan Yunpeng was utterly calm, seemingly having known about this already.
Just as he was about to ask with his shocked state of mind, he saw a dog leisurely saunter over from the front. It glanced at them, lifted its hind leg, and peed next to the feces pit before sauntering away.
"Gaah!"
Wave after wave of shocks finally made Han Tianque unable to breathe from shock.
"A dog!"
"A dog is also a Venerable?"
