The Ballad of Youth: Inheriting Daoji, Li Hanyi, the Escapee from Marriage

"Hmph, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it. I'll find out your situation once the fight starts!"

"However, for now... considering that Tsukihime is injured, I'll give you one last chance!"

"Hand over the golden coffin! I can make an exception and postpone your execution, sparing your life for now!"

Minghou said in a deep, muffled voice, but how could Tang Lian possibly agree with his suggestion?

Although assassins are different from ordinary gangsters, they value their reputation above all else.

Otherwise, I won't get any business.

But in the current situation, they are the only group of people within a hundred miles. If we kill them all, won't no one know about their dishonesty?

Besides, although he didn't know what was inside the golden coffin, he had no interest in knowing.

But no matter what, escorting the golden coffin was his mission!

Even before the transport began, his third master, Sikong Changfeng, had already said that there might be many dangers along the way, and he might even lose his life! If he didn't want to, he didn't have to escort this thing!

But the result?

As a result, he accepted the mission! Because as the eldest disciple of Snowmoon City, he had the responsibility to bear these dangers!

That's why he's not afraid of death!

As for the people behind him... he wasn't unaware of their needs.

He thought, isn't Master Daoji with them?

Although the opponent has not used any direct confrontation tactics from the beginning until now.

There's a good chance Lei Wujie guessed right; the other person might just be good at light footwork.

But precisely because of her excellent lightness skill, there shouldn't be much of a problem in carrying Xiao Se and Lei Wujie away, right? 23sk.Com

"Master Daoji! What if things don't go well later..."

Tang Lian was prepared for a do-or-die situation and was just about to call out to Li Xiuyuan, thinking that if things went wrong, she would take the two men and run away. But then she heard a "thud," the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

It's Li Xiuyuan!

He moved over what looked like a stone statue of a bodhisattva from the dilapidated temple. What was he doing?

"Master Daoji, what's wrong with you...?"

Tang Lian honestly asked.

Daoji didn't answer him directly, but instead asked, "Can you still fight? Are you confident you can win?"

Tang Lian fell silent upon hearing this, her tacit agreement obvious.

"Hey! You know you can't fight anymore, what are you standing there for? Move aside, move aside, I'm calling for backup!"

"Really, how come you can't beat them? If you could, I wouldn't have been threatened with having my drinks halved."

"If it weren't for not wanting the drinks to be halved, I wouldn't have needed to call people and waste my favors! Heh heh!"

Li Xiuyuan walked over to Tang Lian, rolled his eyes, and disdainfully slapped Tang Lian with his broken fan.

"Call for help? Calling for help means asking others to come and help us!"

"Does Master Daoji have any friends or helpers around here?"

"That's wonderful! Cough cough, what I mean is, while human relationships are precious, life is even more valuable!"

Upon hearing Daoji's words, Tang Lian's expression changed completely.

If it weren't for his personality preventing him from laughing as unrestrainedly as Lei Wujie, he wouldn't be feeling so uncomfortable right now!

Yes, although Tang Lian had made the best preparations for a fight to the death, who would want to die if they could live?

Does he have no one in this world he cares about? Putting aside romantic love for the moment, he also has to repay the kindness of Master Lian Yue in the Tang Clan for raising him, and the kindness of Master Baili Dongjun in Xueyue City for teaching him!

These two things alone are enough to make him struggle desperately if there is any chance of survival!

"Call for backup? Does this mad monk have accomplices with him?"

"This is going to be difficult, even though this mad monk hasn't shown any strong aggression yet."

"But his strange abilities and elusive movements are already troublesome enough!"

"If there were just one more person to help, even if it was just to hold them back, it would be easy to create an opportunity for Tang Lian!"

.........

Chapter 21 A sudden flash of golden light, Amitabha!

Upon hearing Li Xiuyuan say that he was going to call for help, Tang Lian's face lit up with joy, but the expression on Minghou Yueji's face couldn't help but tighten!

Perhaps the only thing they had in common was that neither of them cared about the stone statue that had been moved over...

“Indeed, that mad monk’s methods are somewhat strange, and his lightness skill is also superb. Just him alone, plus Tang Lian, put us at a disadvantage.”

"If we call one more person, we might accidentally get ourselves killed here!"

After exchanging a glance, Yueji and Minghou began to communicate telepathically, with Minghou taking the lead.

"Then, shall we retreat first? You're still injured..."

The words of concern from the Underworld Marquis warmed Yueji's heart, but it was precisely because the two had such a good relationship that she... was unwilling to give up just like that!

"No, Lord of the Underworld. You are already very close to that 'answer.' Haven't you been trying to find that answer all these years?"

"My injury is not serious. In a critical moment, I also have a secret technique that can restore me to full strength in a short time!"

"We're so close to the answer now, we can't give up so easily!"

Upon hearing Yue Ji's words, Ming Hou fell silent for a moment before asking one last question.

"But what if the person this mad monk summons is also very strong? Even if you recover to your full strength, it will still be a two-against-three situation for us."

Upon hearing this, Yueji pondered for a moment and replied, "Then let's wait for them to arrive before making a decision. With our level, as long as the newcomer is not above the Free and Easy Realm and has exceptional lightness skills like the Mad Monk, we can defeat them."

"Even if you can't beat them, you can still run away!"

The conversation between the two ended there. After nodding to each other, they turned their attention to Li Xiuyuan and opened their senses to guard against a possible sudden attack from the other party's accomplices!

…………

"Daoji, speaking of which... why did you move this stone statue here? Isn't that the one in front of that dilapidated temple?"

"And also, when the Underworld Marquis slashed you with that blade, you were still hugging it and saying something."

"Could this thing still be alive?"

Hearing that silly voice and the way he asked the question, including his unusual focus, there was no need to think or say much. As long as Lei Wujie was by his side, then it was definitely him!

Yes, while everyone was focused on the strength of the "helper" that Li Xiuyuan had called and whether he could reverse the situation between the two sides, only this little blockhead focused his attention on the stone statue.

He seemed to have become curious about the stone statue itself, and even dragged his weak body to its side and poked the person's face.

Damn it, Li Xiuyuan saw it, and immediately slapped the other person's hand away in a flash, and then picked up the broken fan and slapped him on the forehead!

That's so rude! Absolutely so rude!

If it were when he was carrying the stone statue, it would be fine, but now he hasn't used any special abilities yet, and the stone statue is just a stone statue.

But things are different now. Just now, he used Buddhist magic to activate his supernatural powers, making a connection between this Weituo stone statue and his senior brother Weituo, who he didn't know whether it came from this world or somewhere else!

Of course, it's impossible to establish contact with the real Bodhisattva Weituo in the world of gods and Buddhas, as those are not the same world.

As for the idea that there is a native Weituo Bodhisattva in this world, that's probably not very plausible.

After all, when his fusion rate reached 30% and he received the power of the Dragon Subduing Technique, he realized that there were no true gods or Buddhas in this world.

But if you insist on getting him to explain his understanding, then the essence of this connection...

It should be that the imagination and concept of Weituo Bodhisattva of people in this world are gathered together, and after being enlightened, a "projection" similar to the real Weituo Bodhisattva in other worlds is formed and then put into the stone statue!

In other words, before the effect of the conceptual convergence disappeared, this stone statue was the Bodhisattva Weituo in this world!

Even though his strength is definitely not comparable to that of normal projections from other worlds, and some of his supernatural powers and spells may be flawed, he is still Weituo Bodhisattva, and Li Xiuyuan's senior brother. There is no doubt about that!

So, this little idiot poked his senior brother's face in front of him, before the senior brother had fully recovered. He had to give him face and stop him. And then, incidentally, he bullied Lei Wujie a little!

"Ouch! What are you doing, Daoji! You hit my head again!"

When Li Xiuyuan slapped his hat on the head with a fan, Lei Wujie cried out in pain, then looked up and grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"What do you mean, 'what should I do'? Aren't you being polite? You poked someone's face the moment you met them!"

"Let me tell you, if you anger people and they leave, then you'll have to stand up and fight the other side by yourself when no one helps you!"

Everyone present was stunned when Li Xiuyuan uttered those words.

Poking his face? Walking away in anger? That's impolite?

What did Lei Wujie just do? Weren't all those actions he mentioned directed at a statue?

"Um... Daoji, you're not saying that this statue is the person you shook to get here, are you?"

Lei Wujie reacted quite quickly this time.

He stammered, pointing one finger at the Weituo statue, and asked with an incredulous expression.

"Yes! Is there a problem? This is my senior brother Wei Tuo, his magic... his martial arts are very powerful, okay!"

Li Xiuyuan replied as a matter of course.

"But, isn't he a statue? He can't even move himself, how can he help us?"

Lei Wujie still didn't quite understand, and couldn't help but ask again out of curiosity.

"Hey! What do you know? My senior brother Wei Tuo is just not awake yet. Once he wakes up, he won't be a statue anymore!"

Li Xiuyuan confirmed for the second time that the statue was indeed the helper he had mentioned.

Hearing his ravings, Xiao Se inside the dilapidated temple couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Good heavens... When he heard Li Xiuyuan say that the person to be shaken was this stone statue, he thought the other party was joking.

But now that I see it, he's serious!

No, Xiao Se thought, he only called him the Mad Monk, how could he really be crazy?

And to go crazy at such a crucial moment, what are we going to do?
