In the much wider cave, there was a skinny old man kneeling on one knee, his body covered with bruises. Bright red blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, dripping onto the ground.

In front of him, there were several sneering ninjas, and in the middle was a tall ninja with disheveled hair, muttering something.

"This Eight Formation Divine Diagram seems to not only simply draw out the inner demons of people, but also has some magical properties."

Zhang Taichu frowned when he saw this scene he had never remembered before, confirming that he had no impression of it. What was even more strange was that he could actually understand the gibberish in his ears, and all the information about the people present also flooded into his mind, as if from a God's perspective.

"Mianshan, Tang Sect, Tang Jiaren, Biheshan Ninja Clan..."

Zhang Taichu narrowed his eyes and in an instant, he understood what was happening in the field.

Higashinobi, a ninja sect from a foreign country, was imprisoned in Higashiyama. They were only loyal to the head ninja and used assassination missions as a bargaining chip to gain their freedom. They posed a huge threat to the strangers of various sects.

The Tang Clan is a strange sect dominating Sichuan. They are proficient in assassination with hidden weapons and know how to deal with poisons. They were entrusted by someone to assassinate the ninja leader of Higashiyama.

This led to the tragic battle of Mianshan.

The seriously injured old man at this moment was the Tang Clan’s Laughing King of Hell—Tang Jiaren. The tall old man with a sneer on his face more than 20 steps in front of him was the Biheshan Ninja Leader.

"The elites of the Tang Sect are about to be killed by me. Today, even you will die in this unknown place. Haha, the so-called great sect has only this little strength?"

"His whole body started to tremble. Was he scared? What a pitiful old man."

The ninja leader laughed mercilessly, with a look of condescending contempt in his eyes. The ninja beside him, holding a sword in his arms, also had a sarcastic smile on his face.

Tang Jiaren, who was being ridiculed, hung his head weakly without saying a word. He just gasped heavily like a bellows with a hole in it, and seemed to have not enough strength to stand up.

Bihe Ren, who saw this scene, had an even more smug look on his face, like a hyena admiring its dying prey. He did not rush to bite it, but simply enjoyed the joy of victory.

Zhang Taichu took all of this in, and also found that the current situation was different. The other party did not notice his existence at all, as if they did not exist in the same time and space and just passed each other by.

His eyes became increasingly cold. He stretched out his hand, and the purple-red lightning condensed in his palm, facing the direction of the ninja head, and clenched it tightly.

Click!

The purple thunder turned into a spear and shot out!

Rumble, rumble——

A strange aura suddenly emerged, and all the scenery in the entire cave, including the Biheshan ninjas and Tang Jiaren, became blurred in an instant, and the purple lightning spear was excluded.

The spear passed through the ninja's forehead without any hindrance, and then sank into the rock wall, disappearing in the blink of an eye without causing any damage.

The tall ninja was still chattering and mocking Tang Jiaren. When he got excited, he took two steps forward, fearing that the other party couldn't hear him clearly.

Just at this moment.

Tang Jiaren, whose Qi had been weakened to the extreme, suddenly raised his head, revealing his bloodstained face and a pair of calm old eyes. In a flash, he attacked the ninja leader with strange and swift movements!

The clanging sound of metal clashing was heard, and blood splattered on the rock wall. A lonely hand and a thigh fell to the ground.

The female ninja sneered as she shook off the blood on the long sword in her hand and then sheathed it.

In front of her, Ninja Head was unharmed, but Tang Jiaren, with one arm and one leg broken, was gasping for breath weakly. He didn't even have the strength to stop the bleeding, and it seemed as if all the blood in his body was about to be drained away.

The ninja raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a cruel smile, and said slowly: "Do you think I didn't expect it? Do you still think you can change the situation? What a joke."

He looked at Tang Jiaren's broken body and said, "Going to die to protect your country is stupid in my eyes."

"The only thing that can truly bind people together is interest."

"Remember to be more careful in your next life, you are such a foolish Tang Sect stranger."

But at this moment, Tang Jiaren suddenly let out a hoarse laugh, raised his head with difficulty and said: "When I was ten steps in front of you, I had already won."

"The glory of our Tang Sect will never be allowed to be insulted by you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ninja who had been laughing wildly before suddenly choked in his throat, his face turned pale in an instant, he growled in pain, and the veins on his forehead immediately bulged.

He stretched out his palm as big as a palm fan, pressed hard on his abdomen, and said with a ferocious look: "What did you do to me?"

Tang Jiaren laughed happily and said, "The Tang Sect's most poisonous poison, there is no medicine to cure it - Dan Shi!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the female ninja next to the ninja leader's pupils constricted, and she grasped the long sword in her hand, ready to unsheathe it and cut off the man's head.

It was at this critical moment.

Behind Tang Jiaren, who had broken his arms and legs, another person flashed out from the cave entrance, holding a huge ball of Qi in his hand. He unexpectedly knocked the female ninja several feet away.

The opponent's back hit the arched rock on the rock wall hard, his eyes bulged out, blood gushed from his mouth and nose, but he struggled to support the seriously injured ninja head in the first time, retreated from another exit of the cave, leaving several companions to hold back Tang Jiaren's reinforcements.

When Zhang Taichu saw the person coming, a gleam of brilliance appeared in his eyes.

The well-proportioned man with short hair had eyes and eyebrows that were 70% similar to Feng Baobao, but he had a completely different temperament and revealed an lingering arrogance.

After forcing back the Higashiyama ninja leader, the other side brought a group of reinforcements that followed closely behind and forced back the remaining ninjas who wanted to silence them. They did not pursue them, but immediately helped up the dying Tang Jiaren, carried him out of the cave, and were about to disappear at the end of the intersection.

"Rootless!"

Zhang Taichu shouted, but his voice could not penetrate the barrier and could not reach the other party's ears. He wanted to catch up with the other party, but was also blocked by an invisible and intangible barrier.

His eyes became increasingly cold, as if he had forgotten that this was just a brief intersection of two times and spaces. He swung out his palm without hesitation, and condensed it into a huge golden hand, pressing down in the direction of Wu Gensheng, trying to smash that layer of obstacle directly!

I uploaded the wrong chapter earlier, and missing 2,000 words in the middle. I've added them now. Those who have subscribed can read it again for free. You can go back to the previous chapter and read it again.

Chapter 227: Saying Sorry; Farewell Across Time and Space

The giant golden hand swung out, but it was like falling into a mud pond, unable to move forward an inch. It was quickly crushed by the huge resistance force coming from the unknown.

Zhang Taichu snorted coldly and used the Xuantian Qi Fa at full power, increasing the output of true Qi once again. He controlled the giant hand condensed by the Golden Light Mantra to move forward and fight against the equally powerful and turbulent resistance.

The golden light became more and more violent, collapsing rapidly while being repaired at the same time. It moved forward with difficulty, but could only get further and further away from Wu Gensheng's receding figure...

Until finally, the two forces refused to give in to each other, squeezed together, and exploded with a bang. The terrifying force annihilated everything in front of it, tearing open one crack after another, revealing a white light.

Then, everything fell into a brief darkness again.

Zhang Taichu was unwilling in his heart, but he also knew that if the two places really intersected in time and space, then he did not have the ability to interfere and change it now.

Thinking of this, he became even more curious about the Eight Formations Divine Diagram.

"I previously thought that this formation diagram was just like an inner scene, affecting people's spirits, but from now on, from this situation, it clearly has more magical powers, and even allows me to see everything in the past."

Zhang Taichu muttered to himself, and then, a light flashed in front of his eyes again. The scene of the forest on a rainy night gradually enlarged. Then, he stood there in a daze, and finally his body could not help but tremble slightly.

In front of him, there was a short old man with an old face, running quickly in the pouring rain. He had many wounds all over his body, and after being washed by the heavy rain, some of the wounds were left white.

He held on and ran with all his strength, but he was soon caught up and surrounded by the enemy.

"Zhang Huaiyi, you no longer have a chance, just surrender!"

"Where else can you run to! Hand over the source of your Qi!"

"The man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. Admit defeat, and we can still spare your life."

"..."

One voice after another, some threatening, some hypocritical, were all forcing Zhang Huaiyi to hand over one of the eight great skills he had learned - the origin of Qi body!

"Big-eared thief!"

Zhang Taichu called out excitedly, but the other party was completely unaware, just like the previous battle at Mianshan. He could only watch and not intervene.

In the rainy night, Zhang Huaiyi did not answer the threats from the crowd. He just looked down at the surrounding environment and said with a sad smile: "Grandson, I can't go back to cook you some braised pork elbows... You must grow up healthy and don't blame me."

He spoke to himself, but his voice was very clear and fell into Zhang Taichu's ears, making the latter immediately understand that this was the night when Zhang Huaiyi died!

"The Jiashen Rebellion has been over for so many years, but you still refuse to stop and keep holding on to it."

"Greed... human nature, huh."

"Brother Feng is right, you guys don't deserve it!"

"Then I will take you with me and bury everything..."

Zhang Huaiyi spoke excitedly, his voice getting louder and louder, drowning out the sound of the rain, as if he was making his final farewell. Then, a large golden light suddenly appeared on his body, and a deep blue light covered the golden light.

"Let me show you the ultimate power of this technique."

He muttered to himself with a bitter smile on his old face, "What a pity, Zhang Zhiwei, Junior Brother, I couldn't let you try my trick. I can't get back the face I lost in this lifetime."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward, waving a golden and blue light, rushing towards the enemies around him, and directly crashing into the spell attacks, like a flame, melting the ice and snow!

The source of Qi body can disintegrate all true Qi and can utilize all Qi!

If he hadn't been bitten by the elixir, he would have been fully confident that he could break out of the siege and go back to see the person he wanted to see. But the result was already like this, and Zhang Huaiyi had no choice but to accept it all and face his own death.

In the following time, Zhang Huaiyi fought and took away one life after another, and the wounds on his body increased.

Zhang Taichu saw all of this and felt heartbroken. The guilt that had been suppressed in his heart finally burst out.

"Brother, if I had been able to come out of seclusion earlier, I would not have let you go down the mountain. Why did you have to wander outside for half your life and never return to Longhu..."

He spoke to Zhang Huaiyi.

But the other party, obviously, could not hear all this and just kept killing until the rainstorm stopped. After killing all the people who chased them, they leaned weakly against the big tree, spread their legs and sat down.

Zhang Taichu also walked over, but was unable to touch the other person. He could only stand aside silently, watching the life on the other person's face become less and less, and gradually become gloomy.

"Brother, can you see me?"

Zhang Taichu's eyes were slightly red. He stretched out his hand, but still couldn't touch the other person, like trying to catch the moon in the water.

He listened to Zhang Huaiyi's mumbling before his death. In addition to his guilt towards his master, he was also reluctant to leave his grandson Zhang Chulan.

Suddenly, another figure walked out of the forest, causing Zhang Huaiyi to widen his eyes and ask in a lost voice: "Why is it you?"

She was a girl wearing brown clothes and a baseball cap. She had a simple face and clear eyes. She walked with her hands in her pockets, which made her look a little vulgar. When she heard Zhang Huaiyi's exclamation, she asked in confusion, "My name is Feng Baobao. Do you know me? Then do you know where my family is?"

The Mandarin with Sichuan accent made Zhang Huaiyi's eyes startled. He couldn't help but scan the other person's appearance again, nodded and said: "I know you, I want, and I also ask you to do me a favor."

Feng Baobao asked: "Then can you help me find my family?"

Zhang Huaiyi said: "I am about to die, and it will be very painful, so I would like you to kill me."

"Second, I need you to give something to my grandson Zhang Chulan. Believe me, he will help you find your family."

Feng Baobao thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

So Zhang Huaiyi stretched out his hand with difficulty, touched her forehead, and with a thought, he mixed a strange martial art into the Qi ball and transferred it into her body.

After doing all this, he smiled with relief and said to Feng Baobao: "Thank you. Now, please kill me."

As he spoke, he closed his eyes, leaned his head weakly against the tree trunk, and murmured, "Longhu Mountain, Master, Brothers and Junior Brothers, I'm sorry."

"Chu Lan, you must be healthy and safe..."

After his final confession, Feng Baobao's palm pierced through his chest. He whimpered and then died.

At the moment when Zhang Huaiyi closed his eyes completely, Zhang Taichu could no longer control his emotions, and tears welled up in his red eyes.

"Big-eared thief, big-eared thief!"

He tried his best to call out, but he couldn't touch the other person. He could only watch Feng Baobao at that time, carrying her on his shoulders and walking away step by step.

Zhang Taichu refused to give up and took another step to catch up. However, after taking a few steps, he clearly felt that there was an invisible barrier that restricted his progress.

"Open it for me!"

He growled, and the Xuantian Qi method was running wildly. The vast Qi sea, which usually didn't even use half of its energy, continuously burst out with infinite true Qi. Through the transformation of the technique, his hands were surrounded by golden light and lightning at the same time.

Then he grabbed the invisible membrane fiercely and tore it apart, unleashing all his strength, causing blood to seep out of his clenched teeth!

With this effort, the node where the two times and spaces intersected suddenly made a twisting friction sound and began to shake visibly. Everything in front of the eyes also became blurred, showing signs of collapse again.

Zhang Taichu's eyes were filled with golden light, blood mist oozed from his mouth and nose, and he shouted, "Open it for me!"

As soon as the words fell, the golden light that filled the surroundings began to squirm madly, extending all the way to the border. While continuing to penetrate outward, it also acted like a cage, suppressing and stabilizing the space.

At this moment, there was only one thought left in his mind, which was to go to Zhang Huaiyi and say goodbye to him for the last time!

"open!"

Zhang Taichu was desperate and directly exchanged a bottle of elixir from the system mall, which could temporarily break through the upper limit. He ate it without hesitation, and then took a step forward, shaking the node membrane. With one hand, he transformed the infinite sword energy and with the other hand, he held a thunder dragon and bombarded it fiercely!

Rumble, rumble!

Perhaps it was the existence in the dark that sensed his strong intention, and the boundary that was originally difficult to break through suddenly became weak and was shaken!

Zhang Taichu's eyes were firm as he stared at Feng Baobao who was walking away. Every step he took was filled with tremendous force. He pushed the space-time barrier forward and gradually caught up with Feng Baobao's pace. He could already clearly see Zhang Huaiyi with his eyes closed on the other's back.

Just then, something even stranger happened.

But when I saw Zhang Huaiyi, his body, which had already stopped breathing, was emitting crystal blue spots on its surface, like fireflies, more and more, and slowly gathering together.

Feng Baobao, who was carrying the corpse forward, looked indifferent, as if he could not see this strange change.
