Under One Person: Did Zuo Ruotong and I switch bodies?
Chapter 42: The Past Gone to Nothing?
"This feeling..."
"It's Dan Shi!"
In that instant, alarm bells rang in Zhang Huaiyi's mind, and he tried to activate the golden light, but after this chaotic battle, he was already powerless and could hardly move his body.
This is also why Yang Lie made his move at this moment and shattered the golden light first. He had previously used the golden light to block Dan Shi when he broke into the Tang Clan at night. He had to ensure that Dan Shi would hit the target, so he had endured until now.
wow——
now.
An invisible Qi ball condensed in front of him.
The air itself distorted.
He paid no heed to the raging Qi within his body and revealed a triumphant smile.
"Master!"
But in that instant, a figure suddenly rushed out, flashed behind him, and transformed into a pure white palm, striking out with a palm...
Bang!
A muffled thud sounded, and Yang Lie's body trembled. He slowly turned his head and stared wide-eyed.
This was a young man I had never seen before, and judging from his methods, they were no different from those of the "Triple Rebirth":
"You are... a member of the Lu family?"
The moment the question left his lips, the hand pressing on his back suddenly tightened, pushing him toward the Qi Wan in front of him. Before the Dan Shi could be released, it was "swallowed" by him...
"Well……"
"Aa ...
In an instant, the domineering poisonous Qi swept over his entire body. Combined with the Qi energy from before, it overwhelmed Yang Lie's will, causing him to roll on the ground and scream in agony.
However, the pain came and went quickly. When the Qi erupted, blood spurted from all over his body, and his internal organs were completely destroyed. Looking at Zhang Huaiyi not far away, his eyes were filled with resentment, wanting to say something but unable to utter a word...
The life force within the body vanished in an instant.
He died there.
"Master!"
Ignoring the corpse on the ground, Zuo Ruotong flashed to Zhang Huaiyi's side, helped him up, and poured the Qi of Reversal into his body, bringing him vitality and making his pale face much better.
He arrived five minutes earlier. Seeing that everyone present was a master and that Zhang Huaiyi seemed capable of handling the situation, he didn't make a move. Instead, he used his innate ability to observe...
When he discovered that someone from the Tang Clan was hiding nearby, he locked onto them and remained on guard, which allowed him to turn the tide at the last minute!
"Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—"
Looking at Yang Lie's corpse, Zhang Huaiyi gasped for breath, still shaken. He had brought everyone here because he wanted to see his grandson one last time, but he almost didn't get the chance.
Once he had regained some strength, he turned to his apprentice and asked, "What brings you here?"
"I noticed an unusual phenomenon here, so I came to investigate."
"Oh……"
"It's your special ability..."
He forgot.
Just then, a commotion suddenly arose in the distance, as if there were pursuers again. Zuo Ruotong's eyes narrowed, and with a quick movement, she led Zhang Huaiyi away and disappeared without a trace.
In no time...
Two figures approached, a man and a woman. Looking at the corpse on the ground, the middle-aged man exclaimed in shock, "It's Yang Lie, the leader of the Tang Clan!"
He never imagined that all those who died along the way would be veteran figures!
"Someone just ran away..."
"Let's go that way."
At that moment, the girl beside him suddenly looked up and pointed in the northwest direction.
"Someone escaped? Is it the murderer?!"
"I don't know, there are two of them."
"Two people?"
The man pondered for a moment.
"Let's go take a look!"
……
……
Ten minutes later.
Zuo Ruotong led Zhang Huaiyi into her room, helped him onto the bed, and used the Qi of Reversal to soothe his body and stabilize his injuries.
moment.
"Okay, I'm fine now."
After catching his breath, Zhang Huaiyi waved his hand and carefully examined his disciple, realizing that his initial choice was indeed correct, otherwise...
"Master, what exactly is going on?"
"well--"
Faced with the disciple who had saved his life, and having survived such a calamity, Zhang Huaiyi no longer concealed anything, so he sighed and told him everything.
Only then did Zuo Ruotong learn that the "Jiashen Rebellion" had occurred in the martial arts world, and that the "Eight Extraordinary Techniques" had emerged. He also learned that what he practiced was not called the "Root Method," but rather…
"The source and flow of Qi..."
This name is similar in meaning to the name he chose, which shows that he has grasped the meaning correctly. At the same time, he also knows about Zhang Huaiyi and the "Wugensheng".
"Thirty-six thieves..."
What surprised him even more was that among these thirty-six thieves was Liu Deshui, a disciple he had just taken in. Moreover, according to Zhang Huaiyi, although Liu Deshui had also studied under the Three Ones, he had not been accepted into the sect... He was a disciple of the Yanwu Hall.
This made him realize something!
So, Zuo Ruotong disregarded everything else and immediately asked, "Master, I have something I want to ask you. You said before that Li Muxuan, who caused the disbandment of the Sanyi Sect, never joined the Sanyi Sect... Is that true?"
Zhang Huaiyi gave him a strange look, wondering why he would ask such a question, but he nodded and replied, "That's right, he has never joined the Sanyi Sect and has always followed Ghost Hand King in his cultivation."
"!!!"
Upon hearing this, Zuo Ruotong trembled. He had considered many possibilities regarding the impact of this "change of the past" on the "future," but he had never thought of this one.
"Nothing has ever changed..."
"Why is that?!"
Logically speaking, even if the outcome is predetermined and cannot be changed, the details of the past should be different. Li Muxuan and Liu Deshui have already joined Sanyi, so how come there are no changes at all?
"Could it be...?"
"The 'past' I returned to was just an illusion..."
"Just a dream?"
"wrong!"
Zuo Ruotong's eyes flickered, and she remembered Ming Chen's letter. The letter explained everything, and the exchange must be true...
He had absolutely no doubt about that!
As a practitioner, if one begins to doubt the "reality of the world," one is not far from going astray. He knew this principle well, so he suppressed his trembling emotions.
"The universe operates on a constant cycle; all that is unknown is merely unknown to humanity. There must be an explanation for all of this; we simply need to explore it!"
He gradually calmed down.
And it was at this moment...
"Um?!"
Zuo Ruotong and Zhang Huaiyi's eyes flickered simultaneously, both sensing something: two streams of energy were rapidly approaching, their target being this place.
"Are they pursuers?"
"No, that shouldn't be the case. All the pursuers have been dealt with." Zhang Huaiyi shook his head.
He had a strict plan for this trip, from the route he took to the people he wanted to meet, and the final result was exactly as he had planned.
Moreover, those who came out this time were all top masters in the martial arts world, and he was basically fleeing at full speed, so there were not many people who could keep up with him.
Unless someone can predict his entire route and stake out the place beforehand, but he is also very secretive...
"The only ones who could know my route in such a short time, make accurate judgments, or use manpower to cast a wide net are..."
After a moment's thought, Zhang Huaiyi immediately thought of one possibility, and this was the only possibility.
And the next moment.
A knocking sounded suddenly.
Knock knock knock!
"It's Dan Shi!"
In that instant, alarm bells rang in Zhang Huaiyi's mind, and he tried to activate the golden light, but after this chaotic battle, he was already powerless and could hardly move his body.
