Han Ye and Xue Yan had been traveling together for a few days, but Han Ye was still the same. He would drink some wine when he had nothing to do. Xue Yan hoped that this guy would finish drinking one day, but unfortunately, Han Ye could not finish the wine in his bag, which really made her a little annoyed.
It was almost dusk, and the two of them came to a clear stream. The stream was not shallow, and the deepest part could reach an adult's waist. Han Ye sat down on a rock by the stream, drinking wine while thinking about something. Xue Yan did not intend to pay attention to the stuffy pot. She squatted by the stream and watched the flowing water. The stream was so deep that pebbles of various colors could be seen at the bottom of the stream. In the depths, it was often the place where small fish were active. The evening wind kissed the grass by the stream, and a few sparrows were also resting on the rocks. Xue Yan liked this scenery very much. She took off her boots and socks, revealing her fair little feet. She rolled up her sleeves and trousers, revealing her delicate arms and calves. Then, she walked into the stream, bent down, and played with the little fish in the stream.
The young girl and the cool stream blended together. Her long black hair was like a stream, and her beautiful eyes were like water ripples. It was a beautiful scene, but Han Ye was very unromantic and continued to drink by himself. This made Xue Yan a little angry. She scooped some water with both hands and splashed it at Han Ye.
"What are you doing!" Han Ye was deep in thought when he was suddenly splashed by a cold water. He was a little unhappy and frowned as he turned around and said to Xue Yan,""Stop fooling around."
"Who asked you to ignore me? This is your punishment!" Xue Yan proudly looked at Han Ye's wet appearance and took a step forward. However, she did not notice that some of the pebbles at the bottom of the water were very slippery. She did not stand properly and her body leaned back.
"Ai!" Xue Yan shook her arms in an attempt to steady herself. Han Ye saw that she was about to fall, so he subconsciously rushed out to pull her up. However, Han Ye's movement was too big. Before he could reach Xue Yan, his body was about to hit her. Xue Yan was shocked. Just as she was about to fall, she quickly grabbed Han Ye's right hand. In the end, with a " plop ", the two of them fell into the depths of the stream...
As night fell, the faint moonlight seemed a little cold in the mountains, making the late summer night wind seem cold.
"Achoo!" Xue Yan, who was sitting by the bonfire, sneezed. She wrapped Han Ye's coat, which was almost dry, tighter, but her snow-white shoulders and fair, slender legs were still exposed. Fortunately, Han Ye could not see them. They were separated by the clothes that Xue Yan had hung up with silver thread.
"Damn it!" Xue Yan, who was blushing slightly, shouted angrily at the man on the other side of the shirt,"It's all your fault! I don't even know how to pull people. Originally, I would only be a little wet, but you came and made me wet all over!”
"Hmph, you have the nerve to say that?" Han Ye's muscular upper body was naked. He took a sip of wine and frowned."I'm here to help you, but you actually dragged me into the water. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have helped you and let you fall into the water alone.”
Xue Yan thought for a moment and felt that it seemed that her last pull was wrong. She stuck out her tongue and turned her anger into a smile."Isn't this sharing happiness and suffering together? Hehe."
"Humph." Han Ye also felt that he was quite unlucky to be implicated by this girl. He was drenched all over and was still far away from the bonfire. He had no clothes to wear and could only release his Xuan Yuan True Qi to resist the cold. He did not know if he owed this girl in his previous life, but he said impatiently,"Is your coat dry? Give it back to me after you finish it."
His coat was indeed dry, but Xue Yan couldn't keep dominating him, right? So she took off her coat and threw it at Han Ye. The coat flew past the barrier and landed in Han Ye's hand. Xue Yan said,""Here you go! I don't care about your tattered clothes!”Although she said that, Xue Yan still remembered the smell of the coat in her heart. It had a calm fragrance, and it was an unforgettable smell.
After returning the coat to Han Ye, Xue Yan only had a light blue tube top on her. With the help of the dancing flame, Xue Yan's graceful figure and charming sitting posture were reflected in Han Ye's eyes through the clothes that were hanging to dry. No matter what, Han Ye was still a man. How could he not be tempted? His face turned slightly red. He turned around and sat cross-legged on the ground. He said to the people behind him,"Don't you have a coat in your bag? Why aren't you wearing it?"
Xue Yan was slightly shocked. She then realized that Han Ye could still see her through the curtain, and she was only wearing one piece. Therefore, she quickly took out a set of aqua blue clothes that she usually wore from the bag beside her. She put it on and played with her long hair that was scattered behind her back."You can come over now, or you'll freeze to death…"
"You don't have money to buy a coffin for me?" Han Ye coldly took over Xue Yan's words and turned around. He pulled open the curtain and sat cross-legged beside Xue Yan. He stabbed the demonic sword into the ground and said,""I thought about it. If those martial artists from the Demon Slayers Association are quick, they'll be able to catch up to us in the next few days, so we should rest early. It'll be easier for us to travel tomorrow.”
Xue Yan sat in front of the fire with her legs closed. She picked up a branch from the ground and fiddled with the soil. Suddenly, she asked,"We've attracted the attention of those scum of the martial arts world. If the Daoists of Mount Shu are afraid and don't accept us, what should we do?”
"I don't know." Han Ye also stared blankly at the bonfire in front of him. His face, which was reflected in the fire, became a little sad. He asked,""Yan 'er, do you think I'm useless? "It's been eight years, and we don't even know who the murderer is. Not only did we fail to atone for Master's sins, but we even provoked so many martial artists to openly attack us. Yun Meng has also left. If you think…"
"Let me help you!" Before Han Ye could finish his sentence, Xue Yan stood up and bent down. She placed her left hand on her knee and extended her right hand to Han Ye. She looked at him with her bright eyes and said,""Haven't you already obtained the recognition of the Divine Martial Temple? No matter what, I'll be with you. I'll avenge you and help you get Yun Meng back. Don't be discouraged, okay?”
" Yan 'er..." Han Ye saw Xue Yan's expression and felt a faint warmth in his heart. He asked,""The road ahead is so bumpy, why are you willing to follow me?”
"Because we are companions!" Xue Yan smiled at Han Ye. That smile deeply touched Han Ye's heart.
Xue Yan saw that Han Ye was silent and the atmosphere was a little cold. She sat beside Han Ye and stretched."I'm so bored. I want to sing.”
Han Ye took a sip of wine and said,"Whatever."”
Thus, Xue Yan began to sing with her nightingale-like voice. The melodious melody resounded through the entire lonely night.
" Dummy, no matter what happens, I will always be with you like this song…" Xue Yan thought as she spent another long night with Han Ye.
After two days, Han Ye and Xue Yan were getting closer and closer to Shu. The mountain road was getting harder and harder to walk. There were also some thorny thorns on the road, which made Xue Yan complain endlessly.
Han Ye glanced at the unhappy Xue Yan behind him and said coldly,""Hurry up, we're not sightseeing.”
Xue Yan could only follow him angrily. She said aggrievedly,"I could have taken it, but you kept taking me to those thorny jungles and tore my pants. Now you're blaming me.”
"Although it's a little difficult, at least we can reach Mount Shu faster this way.”"At the very least, our pursuers won't be able to catch up," Han Ye said calmly.”
Xue Yan listened to Han Ye's words and looked ahead. Suddenly, her beautiful eyes widened and she said to Han Ye,""I don't think so, dummy, it looks like someone's already ahead of us.”
Han Ye listened to Xue Yan's words and looked forward. He saw three people standing not far away. The leader was a tough man in his thirties. He wore an orange cloak on his shoulders. He had thick eyebrows, short hair, and a face full of stubble. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and stared at Han Ye with a pair of bright eyes. There was a man standing on each side of the tough guy. They were all strong men in their forties. Their breathing was meticulous and their inner strength was thick. One look and one could tell that they were experts in hard qigong.
Even Xue Yan realized that the situation was not good. She whispered to Han Ye,""Shall we take a detour?"
"No." Han Ye looked at the three people coldly and said,""I don't plan to leave."
The man in the cloak looked at Han Ye for a long time and said,""That man, a few years ago, I heard that Reaper Yama took in a disciple. Could it be you?”
"No!" "We're just passing by…!" Xue Yan quickly replied.”
Before Xue Yan could finish her sentence, Han Ye had already shouted coldly at the tough guy,""That's right, I'm the disciple of Reaper Yama.”Although this kind of stubborn method was very troublesome for Xue Yan, Xue Yan also faintly understood that he wanted to atone for his master.
"Extremely good! I like straightforward men! Haha!" The tough guy smiled and walked to Han Ye's side. He said to him,""Let me introduce myself first. My name is Wang De. People in the martial world call me 'Iron Fist Wang'. I'm currently the sect leader of the Great Strength Sect.”As he spoke, he spread his hands to the two burly men who had followed him and introduced them,"These two are my accompanying protectors, Tian Gang and Di Sha.”
"Then why are you looking for us?" "If there's nothing else, let's get out of the way. We still have to hurry!" Xue Yan said impatiently.”
"Of course there's something!" As Wang De spoke, he threw the cloak over his shoulder to Guardian Tiangang on the left. Then, he pulled open the side of his robe, revealing his strong chest.
"Wow! You hooligan!" Xue Yan didn't have time to look at Wang De closely. She quickly hid behind Han Ye with a red face.
" This scar..." Han Ye looked carefully at Wang De's sturdy chest and found a long scar on it. It looked like it was caused by a sword. Han Ye seemed to understand a little when he saw this and frowned.
"See? Kid." Wang De said to Han Ye with hatred in his eyes,"Ten years ago, when I was young and hot-headed, and I was successful in martial arts and wanted to be famous, I went around looking for experts to compete with. Your master beat me half to death and even left such a scar on my chest, saying that it was a lesson for me who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth!”
Seeing that Han Ye was silent, Wang De continued,"What a good lesson. For the past ten years, every time I think of this shameful mark, I don't want to eat or drink!”As he spoke, killing intent flashed in Wang De's eyes. He said excitedly,"Today, as the vanguard of the Demon Slayers Association, I can finally wash away my previous humiliation!”
"Wait!" Xue Yan raised her eyebrows and stood in front of Han Ye to protect him. She said angrily to Wang De,""Big guy! If you want to take revenge, go find your stupid master. The idiot didn't leave a scar on your chest, so why are you looking for him?”
"If I don't find this kid, how can I find his master?”Wang De looked at Han Ye and said in a deep voice," Kid, if you know what's good for you, call your master out. I'll fight him fair and square. Don't tell me he's dead. I don't believe you!"”
"He has indeed passed away. He died to save me.”Han Ye said sadly. He grabbed Xue Yan's slim arm and pulled her behind him. He said coldly to Wang De,"But since it was my master's fault, I'll pay for it on his behalf. How about it?”
"Good!" " You want to protect your master?" Wang De said with a smile." You're also a man. Just based on this point alone, I'll reluctantly accept your proposal!" Let's do it, kid. Let's fight one on one!”
"One on one? You big fool, do you really think you can win? Just wait and see!" Xue Yan laughed disdainfully.
"Wait!" However, Han Ye raised his hand and said coldly," I've already said that I'll repay him on his behalf. I won't fight you. I should at least take three punches from you and let you take revenge for that sword."”
"Idiot! Are you stupid?" Xue Yan anxiously shook Han Ye's hand, but Han Ye only looked at Wang De and had no intention of paying attention to Xue Yan.
"What?" Wang De could not believe his ears. He pointed at his chest with his thumb and said to Han Ye,"Brat, you haven't heard of my name? " My iron fist is invincible. Even in the current martial arts world, there aren't many people who can take my iron fist head-on. You said you want to take three of my punches. Aren't you courting death?”
"Consider it courting death." Han Ye's cold and arrogant face had a trace of apology. He said,""Senior, Master left such a heavy injury on you. I think you must have been in pain.”
" This kid..." Wang De was a little stunned. He did not expect Han Ye to be so open-minded. He even admired this man. However, this did not mean that he would let Han Ye off. He had been invited to be the vanguard of the Demon Slayers Association, but he had retreated before the battle had even started. If word got out, wouldn't the other sect leaders laugh their heads off?
Therefore, Wang De only patted his chest and said to him,"Alright, I, Wang De, swear that as long as you can take three punches from me and not die, the grudge between you and your master will be written off.”
"I'm satisfied with your words, Senior." Han Ye smiled coldly.”
" I, Wang De, am not a villain who takes advantage of others when they are in danger," Wang De said solemnly." I'll give you enough time to circulate your energy and prepare. Call me when you're ready."”
"No need." As Han Ye spoke, he released the red Mystic Essence True Qi from his body and pushed Xue Yan away. He stood up straight and said,""Senior, please punch!"
"Extremely good! Watch your punches!" Wang De shouted and clenched his right fist. He gathered a violent internal force on his fist and punched at Han Ye's chest with a strong wind.
But with a bang, Han Ye was sent flying by Wang De. He only stopped when he hit a tree. His ribs were in pain, and the blood in his chest was surging. He rolled to the ground, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Idiot!" Xue Yan looked at Han Ye nervously and was about to rush up to save him, but he slowly got up from the ground and raised his hand at Xue Yan, signaling her not to come over. Then, Han Ye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and staggered toward Wang De. As he walked, the tree he had knocked into fell with a creak and hit him. The wind kicked up dust and ruffled the hem of his black hair, but he didn't care. He walked straight to Wang De and said calmly,"Two more punches."
"Very good." Wang De looked solemnly at the unyielding man in front of him and said,"I only used 40% of my strength in the first punch, but I'll need to use 80% of my strength in the next punch. If you can't take it anymore, you can rest for a while.”
"No." Han Ye closed his eyes and raised his hand." Senior, hit him when you have to. Don't leave any gaps in your three punches!"”
"Good! He was a man! I will respect your decision.”A cold light flashed in Wang De's eyes. He stepped forward and rushed in front of Han Ye. He exerted force with his left foot, causing the ground to cave in. Then, his right fist, like a whirlwind, punched straight at Han Ye's abdomen!
"Oh!" Han Ye's eyes widened. He felt as if all the veins in his body were about to be shattered. He was in extreme pain. Blood rushed to his throat, and he flew backward like an arrow leaving a bow. He crashed into two or three trees and finally stopped on a rock. Even the hard rock behind him was hit and a hole was made. Broken stones flew everywhere and dust flew. Han Ye lay on the ground, spitting out blood that dyed the ground red.
"Idiot!" Xue Yan saw Han Ye's pained expression, and her watery eyes were filled with sadness and worry. She frowned and shouted at Han Ye,""Are you a fool? Why did you let him hit you? Fight back! Fight back!"
"Shut, shut up!" Han Ye staggered up from the ground. Blood had already stained his clothes. He wanted to move, but his bones seemed to be falling apart. It was difficult for him to even stand up, let alone walk. He could only lean against the rock behind him and slightly close his right eye. He said to Wang De with some difficulty,"There's still one more punch."
At this point, Wang De could not help but admire this man. Even though he had suffered such a serious injury, there was not a trace of regret in his clear eyes. There was only determination and perseverance! Unfortunately, Wang De had come here to take revenge and to establish his prestige in the martial arts world."Everything depends on the heavens. Brat, if the heavens want you to live, I won't touch a single hair on your head. If the heavens want you to die, it's better to die in my hands than in the hands of Wu Daoshan and Chen Qinghe.”
Wang De closed his eyes and sighed. He opened his eyes and shouted at Han Ye,"Extremely good! Kid, take this! 120 percent strength, Sky Splitting Rock Shattering Fist!”
As he spoke, Wang De rushed towards Han Ye. With every step he took, a pit was created in the ground. Then, Wang De's right fist was like a roaring dragon, smashing fiercely towards Han Ye's heart. The raging wind that he brought blew the surrounding vegetation to the side. The scene was very shocking!
Han Ye looked at the fist wind and was in despair. He knew that if this fist landed on him, even the Great Immortal would not be able to save him. However, Han Ye could only close his eyes and wait for death. Even if he had to bear the debt of his master for the rest of his life, he had no regrets.
At this moment, a petite aqua blue figure blocked Han Ye's way. A cool breeze suddenly blew, and Wang De's fist was blocked by the petite figure's palms. Although the girl's palms were unusually soft, it was difficult to stop Wang Tie's 120% power Sky-Breaking Rock-Breaking Fist. However, her body was only pushed back by the fist, and her feet drew two deep stripes on the ground. Then, she suddenly crashed into Han Ye's arms.
Blood gushed out from the corners of Xue Yan and Han Ye's mouths at the same time. However, Xue Yan's Jade Wave Clear Wind Palm technique had obviously consumed a lot of Wang De's strength, so Xue Yan and Han Ye only suffered minor injuries this time.
Xue Yan didn't have the time to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth. She widened her eyes and raised her eyebrows. She said to Wang De,"Big guy! I won't let you hurt him again!" As she spoke, Xue Yan activated her Water Chill Power and used the gentle inner force of the Blue Wave Breeze to completely neutralize Wang Tiequan's remaining strength.
"Jade, Wave, Clear, Wind, Palm?" Wang De felt as if his arm was stuck in the sand. He retracted his thick eyebrows and looked at Xue Yan in confusion."Are you from the Blue Water Palace?"
"What does it have to do with you whether I'm from the Blue Water Palace or not?”Xue Yan raised her eyebrows, but her eyes were filled with determination. She retracted her Jade Wave Breeze Palm and spread her arms in front of Han Ye to protect him. She said angrily,"Big guy! If you want to kill him, then step over my dead body!”
" Yan 'er..." Han Ye looked at the pretty girl in front of him. Her beautiful hair and sky-blue sash fluttered in the wind, and her petite figure was so tall."Yan 'er, move aside. This punch doesn't count.”
"What nonsense are you saying!" Xue Yan opened her watery eyes and turned to scold Han Ye,""You big idiot! Do you know that you're about to die?!"
Wang De looked at the two of them arguing, and his expression became even uglier. He put down his thick arm and took a few steps back, as if he was hesitating about something.
Tian Gang and Di Sha gathered together when they saw this. Tian Gang first asked Wang De in a low voice,"Sect Master, why did you stop fighting?"
Wang De looked at Xue Yan awkwardly and whispered to Tian Gang,"You know my wife's identity. If she finds out that I harmed her sisters, will she forgive me when I go back?”
Earth Fiend glanced at Xue Yan. It seemed that the girl was indeed going to live and die with Han Ye, so he said to Wang De worriedly,"Then what should we do? "Sect Master, that kid said that he's one punch away. If you don't fight him, you won't be able to get off the stage. You won't be able to explain yourself to the other martial artists when you return.?”
"Yes." "We still have to fight this punch," Wang De said solemnly."Tiangang, Disha, the two of you should cooperate.”After saying that, Wang De walked towards Han Ye.
"Big guy, what do you want to do now?”Xue Yan was still standing in front of Han Ye to protect him. However, two figures suddenly appeared on her left and right. They were Tian Gang and Di Sha. The two of them grabbed one of her hands and pushed her to the side. They allowed her to struggle, but how could she break free from those four strong arms?
Han Ye knew what Wang De meant, so he continued to lean against the rock behind him and said coldly,""If anything happens to me, please don't hurt Yan 'er. Otherwise, I won't forgive you even if I become a ghost.”
"Extremely good! I'll take good care of her, don't worry!”As Wang De spoke, he rushed towards Han Ye and said,"Die!"
"Idiot!" Xue Yan realized that something was wrong, but she couldn't break free. She could only watch as Wang De rushed toward Han Ye.
