Chapter 931 Dirty
Chapter 931 Dirty
"Tian Laojiu, how can you be so ungrateful? I've already given you a chance to live by not eating you, yet you still dare to snatch food from the tiger's mouth and disrupt my chance of promotion? You're looking for death!" Amidst the cold curses, the old and tall body broke through the miasma almost instantly and moved in front of the old man.
The dry hand like an iron hook slapped quickly, and the sound of bones cracking was heard frequently. Lao Jiu, who was already struggling with several people, was hit in the chest, which suddenly sank. His face suddenly turned from red to gray, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Chang Qing and others were freed, and his body rolled on the ground several times before the hidden force stopped.
As for Changqing and the others in his arms, they fell near the patriarch.
"Old Nine, I'm very curious. You've never refused this kind of meat before, but why did you save all this food today? Do you really want to watch these thousands of people go mad and die? Or did you suddenly have an epiphany after being used as food for once?"
Countless townspeople gathered around with cold expressions, surrounding the old man and Changqing and his companions.
"Tell me, why did you do this?" The clan leader asked, and the townspeople who came forward echoed him. Their auras were complex and intertwined into a rolling pressure to interrogate Lao Jiu.
Spitting out the blood foam in his mouth, Lao Jiu felt his vitality slipping away. He looked at everyone with disdain, then swept his gaze around and landed on the clan leader again:
"I've seen you kill people over the years, and I've had enough! And you're still saying you've had some enlightenment? Pah! Ever since I learned at a young age that you were eating human flesh, I've never eaten it. I was just pretending. You and I share the same bloodline, and you believe in the bloodthirsty curse in that bloodline, but I don't! We're humans, not animals, and we can live in peace without blood. And yet—hahahahahahahahaha… Let me ask you, boss. As the clan leader, do you think the curse is true?"
The tall figure's cloudy eyes flickered slightly before returning to a gloomy expression. "Of course there is. Otherwise, why would I feel numb all over every few days and have an uncontrollable urge to eat people?"
Old Nine sneered at the crowd's green eyes. He then looked at the clan leader, seeing his guilty expression, and became even more certain of his suspicions. "Is that so? ... Boss, it seems you know the inside story. You've chosen the same method as our ancestors to satisfy your perverted control needs as clan leader. How could cooked human flesh have that strange aroma? I think it's some kind of special medicine. All of this is just a way for you to control your people!"
As if being touched on a sore spot, the clan leader's eyes flashed with a cold light: "Old Nine, you are stubborn and stubborn. It seems that you are not so anxious to eat a few people. Please let everyone fill their stomachs first."
Lao Jiu showed no fear. He just looked at the people who had just become suspicious. After hearing the words of the patriarch, they became greedy again. The drug had already turned them into slaves. Even if they realized the problem, it was too late.
Thinking back on the days of sleeping on straw and tasting gall and pretending to be accommodating over the years, Lao Jiu felt bitterness welling up in his heart. In the end, all his work was in vain, and he felt extremely sad.
He was picked up by someone. The breath behind him was quite familiar. It was a middle-aged man with half of his hair white, followed by a middle-aged woman and a child. The feeling became more and more bitter. These were his sons, daughters-in-law, and grandsons. At this moment, they held him with eagerness on their faces. There was no emotion at all, only the desire to eat him.
"Dad, stop struggling. You don't want my family to be targeted by the clan members, do you..." The woman held Lao Jiu's arm a little harder, as if she was afraid that he would run away.
"Grandpa, even though you often warn us not to drink the broth, it's delicious and we never waste a drop." The two grandsons' eyes sparkled green, and they even drooled at Old Nine, wiping their mouths with their grimy hands.
Lao Jiu felt a chill in his heart. The words of several people were like an ice pick piercing his heart. He was extremely disappointed. Even family affection paled in comparison to that mouthful of meat soup.
The patriarch also smiled, and his wrinkled face looked even more weird.
"This damn clan, this damn town, these damn ancestors... We are guilty, all guilty~" At this moment, the old man cried and struggled with tears streaming down his face. The light in his eyes disappeared, and he became dead. The fire in his heart was gone, and his vitality faded away rapidly.
"Old Nine, as a sinner of the entire family, helping the tribesmen fill their stomachs is considered as atonement. The ancestors will forgive you!" The clan leader was extremely fast and rushed to the front in the blink of an eye. He pointed his dry fingers quickly, wanting to pierce the center of the eyebrows and send the poor man in front of him to death.
"How about it? Any ideas?" Playful laughter rang out from all directions, like a condescending observer watching this ridiculous farce.
"Who?!"
The old figure's finger, which was about to point down, suddenly stopped in mid-air. The feeling of being stared at unscrupulously made his back go cold.
In front of him, the outstretched fingers were blocked by something. Looking closely, two fingers suddenly appeared in the air, and these two slender fingers gently pressed against his arm. No matter how much energy and blood of the peak martial arts master in his body burst out, it was of no use.
"I know."
A voice echoed beside him, as if to answer the question: "A person who looks good may not necessarily be a good person. Even if you do good deeds, you may not be rewarded. Nothing is absolute. Don't speak lightly, and don't believe it easily."
"These guys are disgusting~" another female voice sounded.
"You filthy bastard!!"
"Not bad!" A voice of praise was heard, and he nodded with satisfaction.
The old and tall figure was suppressed, but the several Wuzong around him could hear it clearly. It was clearly one of the two women.
The mayor reacted immediately, his face dark as water, and he shouted:
"Playing tricks!" To boost his courage, he released all the spiritual power in the Tuojing realm, turning it into a gray rainbow. He used his palm as a blade and stabbed at Yun Qinghan's body on the ground.
The dying old man wanted to stop it when he saw this, but his body was no longer under his control and he could not move. He stared at the scene in front of him with wide eyes, heartbroken and anxious.
However, when the mayor chopped down with his palm, Yun Qinghan's body split into two like a phantom mist and slowly dissipated.
The mayor looked at his subordinates who had transformed into clear air in disbelief, rubbed his eyes, as if he didn't believe it, and shook his body several times. The figures of Changqing and others disappeared, and soon a scene that horrified everyone came into view.
Those five people actually - disappeared like the wind, as if they had never existed in the first place.
The old, tall figure looked at the mayor, as if questioning him. The man was clearly panicking and stammered, "Chief, I don't know why. When I slashed down with my palm just now, it felt real, even warm. How come it disappeared without a trace?"
The old figure thought back to the experience he'd had when he'd been carried out of the cave. It was indeed true: the temperature, breathing, chest rise and fall, weight were all exactly like a real person. The strange object pressing against his palm had also vanished. Was it an illusion?
Very likely!!
Could it be that this guy Lao Jiu did it? When the old figure looked towards where Lao Jiu was, his pupils shrank. There was no trace of Lao Jiu there.
"Old Nine, I know it's you. Judging by the blood you spit out, you won't last much longer. I advise you not to be stubborn and turn those people over. I can still give you a chance to live. If you insist on doing so, I'll find you and make sure you're neither alive nor dead!"
