Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 79 – To uphold justice and righteousness

The tall spiritual master laughed heartily, but his face showed no smile: "No wonder someone suspects that you are the disciple of Qiu Shuijing, and even suspects that you are a scholar of Tiandao Academy. You are very bold, but your strength is far from enough."

Suddenly, a female scholar rushed over and said sternly, "He killed two senior brothers and I'm here to avenge them!"

The woman's blood surged and her divine power erupted. A six-armed god, six zhang tall with three heads and three eyes on each head, appeared behind her.

That god was her divine power. With her palm pushing forward, the three right arms of the god punched towards Su Yun together!

Su Yun flipped his left hand, and his palm lit up with a radiance. It was a sun made of qi and blood!

The "Sun and Moon Overlapping Wall" Qi Cultivation Technique was created by the Sage of Shuofang and was a foundation-building ultimate technique.

Su Yun used the first move of the Sun and Moon Overlapping Wall, "Sun and Moon Beautiful Sky", but he secretly added a bit of disaster ash.

"Not good!"

The tall spiritual master saw the light in Su Yun's palm and his face changed drastically. He quickly activated his divine power, and the sound of the qin became loud, pushing Su Yun back and hitting the wall of a shop on the street hard!

At the same time, Su Yun's move had already been sent out. The sun made of qi and blood collided with the woman's palm and the three fists of the god with a loud bang!

The woman was horrified to see her five fingers exploding. The terrifying power invaded her, causing her arm to constantly disintegrate. Pieces of muscle were torn apart, and the broken tendons were bounced back by the terrible force, shooting backwards.

This force tore the flesh and blood on her arm, allowing her to see her own bones, and the bones were crushed into powder under the pressure of that force.

Bang!

She and the god behind her bounced off and hit the wall on the opposite side of the street, embedded in it. Her eyes were dull, blood flowing from the corners of her mouth. Her head drooped, and she breathed her last.

This blow from Su Yun was not a power that an ordinary spiritual master could display. It carried the power of disaster ash, and its power was even stronger than that of a spiritual power.

If it weren't for the timely intervention of the tall spiritual master, the woman would have been directly smashed to pieces by Su Yun's move.

A cold wind blew across the street, and one by one, the spiritual masters jumped down from the eaves on both sides of the street, silently looking at the three corpses on the street, silent.

They had killed the giant demon from the old uninhabited area without hurting anyone, but when they encountered a seemingly weak beginner spiritual master who had injured one arm, he killed three people!

"Cough cough!"

Su Yun broke free from the wall and coughed violently. He smiled weakly, "The first person to enter the academy's entrance exam two years ago, but just like this. You haven't learned anything in these two years, even with so many divine powers."

The tall spiritual master snorted, his eyes shining with ferocity, and a guqin appeared above his head.

At this moment, a surprised girl's voice came from a nearby window: "Xiaoyun! It's really you!"

The tall spiritual master stopped and looked over to the side, but it was a cat demon speaking from behind a glass window.

Su Yun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at the glass window. The cat demon was looking at him through the window, surprised and happy. She smiled and said, "It's really you! You've grown so much!"

Su Yun felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it when he was young. He tried to remember and finally remembered. He grinned and said, "You're Mao Erjie from Maotun Village. I went to the town fair last time and my uncle told me you were working in the city."In the window of the glazed wall, the cat demon said with embarrassment, "When you go back to your hometown, don't tell them what I do. I'm not good at my job, and I lied to them that I work in a weaving factory in the city. If you say it out, I will have no face to be a human being..."

The tall and powerful spiritualist sneered, "You don't have to worry. He won't live past tonight, so he won't be able to go back to his hometown."

The cat demon pushed open the glazed wall and shouted to the shops on both sides of the closed doors, "This is Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun from Tianmen Town! We are fellow townspeople! Come out, all of you! Come out!"

The tall and powerful spiritualist was full of killing intent, his gaze sharp as he swept the streets on both sides, and shouted, "Do you lowly people want to die?"

"Xiaoyun is our fellow townsman!"

The cat demon still had some unwillingness and shouted loudly, "He is a neighbor from the village in front and behind! He has been alone since he was young, and he is the only child in Tianmen Town! If he is beaten to death, are you not going to come out?"

The tall and powerful spiritualist looked at Mao Erjie with a murderous look and said calmly, "Who dares?"

Mao Erjie almost cried out, choking and said, "Xiaoyun passed the Wenchang Academy entrance exam, and he ranked first. He is the first person from Tian Shiyuan to rank first in the city! He hasn't even attended school for a day! He is our fellow townsman, he shouldn't die here..."

At this time, there was a creaking sound of a door opening on the street, and a drunken black bull demon stumbled out, wearing a tattered cloak on his shoulders, standing next to Mao Erjie and said in a low voice, "Children should go to school. Is there anyone from our Bull's family village? Come out!"

The tall and powerful spiritualist snorted and was about to speak when suddenly, there was a creaking sound of a door opening, and two other bull-headed and human-bodied bull demons walked out of a tightly closed shop.

The extinguished robbery gray lamps on the street lit up one after another, and one shop after another lit up with lights. In the light, one monster after another from Tian Shiyuan pushed open the shop door and walked out silently.

There were rustling sounds coming from the dark alley, and several people hiding in the corner also walked out.

They were all monsters from the uninhabited area, attracted by the prosperity of Shuofang City, they came to the city to work odd jobs, doing the most menial work, earning the most meager wages, working from early morning to late night, eating the cheapest food, and living in the smallest rooms. Some even slept on the street.

They were the most ordinary and inconspicuous people in Shuofang City, living on the dirty streets at the bottom of Shuofang City, almost without any interaction with the upper class.

.

Even if they died in Shuofang City, no one would know except for their relatives and friends. No one would care about their life or death.

But they still harbored dreams, wanting to save money to send their children to official schools to study and seek knowledge. They wanted to let their children escape the fate of repetitive labor every day, and let their children live in the upper echelons of the city.

There were bright rooms, sunshine, warmth, and greater prospects.

On weekdays, when they passed by you, you would feel that they were very numb, like walking corpses.

But now, on the quiet street, one or two hundred people walked out one after another, silently standing there, holding various weapons in their hands, such as kitchen knives, stools, iron rods, and other things.

They were not spiritualists, and their combat power was not high.

They just learned some knowledge of cultivation from their parents and elders in the countryside, or learned some rudimentary martial arts from the monster teachers in the village school, and knew a little about transformation.

Fellowship and the desire to go to school made them stand up.An old monster trembled and said, "Please, sir, have mercy. It's not easy for a scholar to come from the countryside..."

Suddenly, the tall spiritual master laughed, "The righteous have more to slaughter the dogs. It's true what they say in books. The uncultured people in the city are all hot-blooded righteous folks. It's a pity they're foolish and only know how to throw their lives away."

Su Yun's eyes turned red, and his eyes became warm, "Brothers, sisters, uncles, please go back. I'm fine, really, you all go back quickly!"

No one moved on the street.

The cow demon with the head of a bull lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Yun, we're here. No one dares to touch you! Don't worry!"

Clang!

The sound of a qin rang out, and the cow demon suddenly flew backwards and hit the wall, his head tilted to the side, dead!

The monsters on the street made fearful low growls, and some were restless.

The tall spiritual master sneered, "Aren't you leaving yet?"

The monsters on the street, who looked numb, did not retreat, still holding tightly to their weapons.

Su Yun couldn't hold back his tears any longer. He felt a hot, warm sensation in his eyes and his chest was filled with hot blood.

He was the only human in this deserted area, not one of these monsters. Was it worth it for them to give their lives for him?

These monsters had never excluded him, never treated him as an outsider, and had given him a relatively normal childhood. That was already a great kindness to him.

Now, did they have to die for him?

"Go back..." he sobbed.

The tall spiritual master snorted and said, "They can't go back. They're your fellow villagers. With family ties, even if they want to go back and pretend nothing happened, it's impossible. If they tell anyone that you died at my hands, the Wen Chang Academy will definitely kill me. Therefore..."

He ordered the spiritual masters on the street, "Brothers, uproot the grass! Eradicate all the monsters on this street, not one left! Send the bodies to the Earth Fire Pool and leave no trace!"

The spiritual masters on the street all let out a low shout, and their spiritual powers appeared one after another. Some had weapons like swords and spears, some had divine beasts and birds, and some had objects like bells and towers. Each one exuded a strong aura!

Su Yun gritted his teeth. These monsters in the deserted area were not their opponents at all. He didn't want his fellow villagers to die for him!

But what could he do?

With his current strength, he was no match for the tall spiritual master. He would not only die himself, but also drag his fellow villagers down with him!

He clenched his fists, and there were a few gray calamities inside!

He frantically increased his blood and qi. A dragon formed from his blood and qi twisted and transformed behind him. However, he knew that his power was not enough to change anything!

He couldn't save himself, let alone his fellow villagers in the deserted area!

The tall spiritual master raised his hand, and the spiritual powers of the spiritual masters on the street began to operate. One of the spiritual masters had already erupted, rushing towards the monsters in the deserted area!

Just as the spiritual master was about to attack, an arrow of light pierced through his chest!

The arrow was incredibly powerful, and it nailed the spiritual master's leaping figure back, pinning him to the eaves!

The other scholars were horrified and dared not move.

The tall spiritual master suddenly turned around and said sternly, "Who?"The sound of clattering footsteps echoed through the dark street. It was the sound of wooden clogs hitting the ground. Under the dim light of a distant street lamp, a figure slowly approached.

"Buildings above five floors in Shuofang City belong to the wealthy and the emperor."

A voice that Su Yun found somewhat familiar rang out and entered everyone's ears: "Below five floors, if the wealthy or the emperor stretch out their hands, they will be chopped off. Stretch out a few hands, chop off a few hands. Lin Qingsheng, a scholar from Shuofang Academy, do you understand the rules of the underground world?"
