Chapter 862 Didn't I Tell You That This Is A Problem Of The Younger Generation? [I]
"S-senior, this is a Guiyan family matter... may I know if senior has any inconvenience?"
One of the ancestors behind Guiyan Han stepped forward and cupped his fists at this person hiding his face.
The expression remained respectful and serious, but inside this Guiyan family ancestor was terrified. He could not see this person's cultivation level, and his experience confirmed to him that this person was an expert superior to them!
A true expert in the separation and reunion realm!
"Of course I have a problem~"
This man weakly sneered, with a hoarse voice as he ignored the Guiyan family ancestor's greeting and walked towards Mu Shen and the other Guiyan family ancestor.
"S-senior, you..." Guiyan Han hesitated as he realized that an expert had actually appeared in this place, realizing that things had become quite complicated.
Could it be that this expert was related to the Abysmal Tower? With the Qingmin Pavilion? Or with the Mount Wan Shou Sect?
But the man in the gray mask said nothing and instead looked at the old man in front of Mu Shen.
"This is a matter of the younger generation, and you, as a person of the older generation, have no shame in doing this?"
With a hoarse voice, this stranger sneered and raised his hand toward the old man in front of Mu Shen.
This ancestor's pupils shrank sharply, filled with terror as he felt the breath of death. The survival instinct he had developed throughout his life jumped fiercely, telling him that he must escape.
But his body could not move, he could not even move a single finger, so he was at the mercy of this expert.
Even though he tried to burn his blood essence and even his cultivation essence, this Guiyan family ancestor could not move even a little!
Forming a small sword with the index and middle finger of his hand, the mask man pointed it towards the hand that the ancestor had extended to cut off Mu Shen's hand.
The two fingers together of the man in the mask fell and mysteriously pierced the ancestor's hand, causing the next moment everyone nearby to watch with terror-filled eyes as the ancestor's hand fell to the ground.
A clean cut on his wrist, as if a real sword had cut straight through!
"A-aarghh!"
The ancestor finally couldn't help but scream out full of pain, strangely feeling a horrible pain that crippled much of his arm all the way to the side of his shoulder, grabbing himself with the other arm as he fell to the ground.
Mu Shen watched everything that happened without understanding what was going on.
There really was an expert who saved him at this critical moment?
"Although your exchange intention was good, you were still too ignorant to think that these shameless old men would not directly intervene. You must think better of your actions and moves in the future, as it is almost impossible for this to happen again."
The man in the fox mask looked towards Mu Shen, and explained in a few words in his husky voice.
Mu Shen nodded somewhat confused, wanting to thank this person who saved him.
This man didn't seem to be that old despite his hoarse voice...
* Bang! *
The fox mask man kicked the ancestor's body towards Guiyan Han and the others.
"This is a problem of the younger generation, which will surpass us in the future. I intervened and I crippled the hand of one of your ancestors, do you have a problem?" The man in the mask asked casually, his voice still hoarse.
"N-no, senior. This junior has no problem."
Guiyan Han cupped his fists at this man, but inside he was furious, angry and filled with terror at the same time.
This person had crippled the strongest ancestor of the Guiyan family!
Even if the ancestor managed to recover, his cultivation base had been affected and he would evidently lose years of cultivation, making it impossible for him to break through to the separation and reunion realm.
While this unknown man, he could easily kill them if he wanted to, so he couldn't complain.
"But since it's a problem of the younger generation, I won't intervene anymore!"
But the words of the masked man surprised Guiyan Han and the others.
"As long as your ancestors do not intervene, I will no longer meddle in your affairs!" The fox mask man looked straight at Guiyan Han, surprising him.
No one could understand the actions of this unknown person, but neither did they refute or ask what he meant.
"S-senior, what you say..."
"Are you deaf? I already told you that as long as your ancestors don't intervene in this matter I don't care what you do!"
The man in the mask interrupted Guiyan Han.
Guiyan Han was stunned for a moment before letting out a sigh of relief inside. His gaze drifted to the injured ancestor and the other two ancestors, nodding to them and politely asking them to step back while supporting the injured ancestor, and then he turned to look at the masked man and subsequently Mu Shen.
"Senior, if you need anything, then..."
"I don't care about anything from your family! You can do whatever you want!"
The masked man interrupted again, stunning even Mu Shen and the women.
"W-won't he help us?" Qin Xuzi couldn't help but ask upon seeing this stranger.
If indeed this masked man kept his words, the patriarch of the Guiyan family could kill Mu Shen and them!
He is still an expert in the body condensation realm!
Guiyan Han looked at Mu Shen with some hesitation, while out of the corner of his eye he looked askance at the man in the fox mask. Although he was an expert, these guys would really break their words on a whim or for fun.
"You can kill this young man if you want to and I won't do anything to you! Or if you want to leave this matter here by exchange, that's fine too!"
But this man's words again shocked Guiyan Han and Mu Shen.
"The younger generation will surpass the older generation, but they have to grow up first!"
"As long as your ancestors don't intervene, their lives don't interest me in the slightest! I only intervened because I want to see a good fight!"
"If he is strong enough, then it will be worthy of it and he can save himself!"
"But if not, his life will go this far!"
The last sentence the man in the mask said sent a chill down everyone's spine.
Truly, the top experts see others as ants and worthless beings, using them to amuse themselves and enjoy the suffering of others.
Guiyan Han's expression finally relaxed and changed to a much more excited and slightly arrogant one.
If he could get Mu Shen's [Double Spirit Root], then he could make the ancestor still have a chance to break through!
Although it would take a little longer since the ancestor would have to recover, breaking through and reaching a new realm was still the most paramount thing.
Mu Shen was stunned at the words of this savior who had finally become a neutral person, wanting to enjoy a good fight.
He gritted his teeth and tried to recover quickly when he noticed Guiyan Han's expression. Mu Shen knew that the exchange a few moments ago was already useless at this point, as the Guiyan family had suffered a great loss from the ancient ancestor's injury.
So everything depended on whether he could survive and save the lives of his wives.
A spear appeared in Guiyan Han's hand, as his cultivation essence flowed madly at an unimaginable speed in it. His gaze focused on Mu Shen and disappeared from the scene.
Mu Shen's pupils shrank as he instinctively raised his sword in front of him. A chill enveloped his body, slowly feeling the breath of death waiting to claim his life if he did not react.
He was unable to activate the talisman in time, so he could only barely defend himself with his sword.
* Clang! *
Mu Shen flew out and impacted against a wall, destroying it instantly. A mouthful of blood came out of his mouth as he gasped to catch his breath.
"Husband!"
"Brother Shen!"
Hu Wenxin and the women exclaimed in concern as they saw Mu Shen being sent flying.
"Looks like it's a pity..."
The hoarse voice of the masked man was heard with a disappointed tone as he turned around and left, surprising Guiyan Han and the others.
No one stopped this fox-masked man, walking away from the place until he disappeared outside the place seemingly.
But Mu Shen quickly stood up, leaning on his sword as he looked at Guiyan seriously. He forced his momentum to increase again as he ate a medicinal pill to heal his wounds quickly.
Guiyan Han's figure disappeared and reappeared at Mu Shen's side. He did not give Mu Shen time to recover.
* Boom! *
An explosion spread out, knocking Mu Shen back several meters again.
But Mu Shen wiped the trace of blood from the corner of his mouth and charged towards Guiyan Han after taking a deep breath for the first time. His gaze was still serious and cold toward Guiyan Han. His sword rose up, flowed with cultivation essence accumulated on the edge, trying to slash straight at Guiyan Han.
This time, Guiyan Han frowned slightly and waved the spear he held. His cultivation essence also quickly circulated in his body and poured onto the spear, enveloping it in dark mist, making it appear larger and with the tip letting out wisps of dark mist.
The spear and sword collided heavily, creating small ripples in the air that spread in all directions.
Mu Shen once again retreated several meters, spitting out a faint mouthful of blood.
But unexpectedly, Guiyan Han also retreated a few steps, dazed for a moment before smiling faintly.
"I must admit that you are indeed a true genius, as despite being at the nascent soul late stage you can still resist in front of me!"
Having a strange assurance that the masked man would not intervene since he was gone and that the result of this victory was his, Guiyan Han unraveled better and the arrogance came to him again. His eyes couldn't help but slightly appreciate Mu Shen for a moment as he wished that someone like him was his son instead of the one he currently had, a waste and trash who only thinks of gambling, drinking and sleeping with women all day long.
"But you have to die for meddling in the Guiyan family's affairs and hurting its members!"
Surprisingly, Mu Shen stood up again in the presence of everyone and charged toward Guiyan Han once more, as if he did not understand that he was fighting a futile battle. His speed was drastically reduced unlike last time, as if he was severely wounded and could barely move.
But Guiyan Han's intuition finally alerted him this time, catching him off guard when he couldn't understand why he felt that.
Mu Shen's figure flickered again, appearing in front of Guiyan Han once more, his sword brandishing towards him, but curiously, the aura he was expelling had diminished considerably, as if he had burned cultivation essence.
The late stage cultivation base receded to the nascent soul middle stage in the blink of an eye.
* Slash! *
Guiyan Han's pupils shrank in terror as Mu Shen's weak and strange sword sliced his spear into two parts and pierced through his shoulder!
