Chapter 221: Chapter 119: The Conflict Between North and South (Request for monthly ticket at the beginning of the month!)_2

Chen Shi’s voice came through, and the Green-robed Scholar looked up, only to see Starlight bursting before him, followed by plunging into darkness. Shock filled his heart, as Chen Shi’s fist had suppressed his Qi-Blood, causing a cerebral ischemia!

"Getting hit by one punch, I’d die!"

He had originally planned to compete with Chen Shi, a battle between Talisman Masters. His talismans were released at an extremely fast speed, achieving Drawing Talismans in mid-air, fast enough to surpass many Cultivators with Golden Core spells, but not nearly as fast as Chen Shi’s punching!

"Boom!"

Accompanied by the sound of Thunder, Chen Shi’s fist reached him, and with a clanging noise, the Green-robed Scholar was struck with immense force and sent flying, the bell-shaped light shield formed by the Golden Bell Talisman shattering in midair.

He couldn’t manage to use Southern Sect’s talismans in time, and had to resort to the Northern Sect’s Golden Bell Talisman to block Chen Shi’s blow!

Chen Shi looked up at him, with a flickering light behind his head, as the air around him suddenly blurred.

The Green-robed Scholar, still in midair, knew trouble was imminent and immediately activated every Protective Talisman on his body!

The next moment, the Life-saving Talisman activated!

Life-saving Talisman, shattered!

Hua Gai Talisman, activated!

Hua Gai Talisman, shattered!

Eight Trigrams Protection Talisman, activated!

Eight Trigrams Protection Talisman, shattered!

The Green-robed Scholar’s body trembled greatly, crushed by intense forces propelling him further away, his various life-saving talismans rapidly declining.

What embarrassed and enraged him was that he hadn’t been able to deploy any Southern Sect talismans; instead, the Northern Sect talismans he despised had saved his life.

His body had been slammed a hundred zhang away. The Green-robed Scholar fell towards the ground below, which was outside Sanhe Village.

He finally felt relief. "During the county examination, Chen Shi released the Sword Qi for a distance of eighty-six zhang. Now that he can release it for a hundred zhang, it shows he has improved, though powerful, it appears to be his limit."

Just then, an invisible Sword Qi flashed by. The Green-robed Scholar suddenly felt intense heat at the roots of his thighs, turning scorching hot, then saw his legs falling faster than himself.

Blood flowed from where his legs had been, warm, and the Sword Qi that had sliced his legs flew a dozen or so zhang further before dissipating!

The Green-robed Scholar and his legs landed on the ground with a thud, and in shock, he placed his hands in the blood that had pooled from his body, silently reciting a Divine Spell. Instantly, blood flowed in all directions, quickly drawing a talisman on the ground with his own blood!

Behind him, Chen Shi chased after him with a roar, moving extremely fast!

The Green-robed Scholar broke out in a cold sweat; he didn’t want to die!

He had always held himself in high regard, disdaining scholarly exams and holding the Southern Sect talismans as the strongest Skills, feeling that the court’s civil service exams could never assess his true abilities.

He held scorn for the Scholars and Cultivators, his mind full of strategies and talent, but the world didn’t appreciate it, leaving him with no place to apply his martial prowess.

He had even tested Chen Yindou once, having crafted a Traction Worm and released it into Qianyang Mountain to see whether Chen Yindou, a Northern Sect talisman Grandmaster, could deal with his Traction Worm. Chen Yindou had failed to eliminate the Traction Worm, allowing it to survive for many years.

He took pride in this, believing his knowledge of talismans surpassed that of the West Capital Butcher.

He had ambitions yet to display, and had plans to shock the world with the prowess of the Southern Sect talismans; how could he die here?

His goal this time was to show Chen Shi, a master of Northern Sect talismans, the prowess of the Southern Sect talismans. How could he just die like this?

He didn’t want to die!

Little did he know that Chen Shi would not compete in talismans, but instead in boxing and spells!

His body twisted, blood flowing from where his legs had been severed, and began to Transform.

Chen Shi continued to chase with a roar, his mind free of any distractions, focused solely on eliminating his opponent at once.

The opponent came to compare talismans with him, but if he really engaged in a talisman duel, that would be foolish.

His grandfather had once told him, when the opponent comes barehanded, wanting to compete in hand-to-hand combat, it’s best to have a knife in your hand. When the opponent holds a sword, wanting to compete with swords, you should be carrying a Three-eyed Fire Gun.

So, when the Green-robed Scholar wanted to compare the merits of the northern and southern talismans, he used hand-to-hand combat.

Chen Shi rushed out of the village only to see the Green-robed Scholar’s body slowly straightening up.

The Green-robed Scholar’s face was pale as he looked down from above, watching the approaching Chen Shi.

His upper body was still human, but his lower body had transformed into a structure similar to a Traction Worm, thick like a dragon’s body but segmented. Each segment spawned many legs resembling human arms, long with broad joints and claw-like fingers, totaling seventeen segments and thirty-four arm-like legs.

The Green-robed Scholar’s gaze was filled with hatred as he watched Chen Shi rushing toward him, no longer hesitating, he moved his thirty-four legs and surprisingly dashed into the air!

Chen Shi leaped up, and the small temple behind him made swooshing sounds of cutting through the air. The body of the Green-robed Scholar trembled, and the tail end of his body was severed, falling down.

He seemed like a centipede, dead but not rigid, and although a part of his body was chopped off, he was still not dead, stepping into the air with his other legs.

"Chen Shi, I originally wanted to duel you fairly, but you broke the rules! Once I heal, I will come looking for you!"

Chen Shi chased forward, but the figure of the Green-robed Scholar grew higher and vanished from sight, making him give up.

Dingding rushed over, holding a pipa in his arms, looked at him, somewhat hesitant.

"This Green-robed Scholar, once he heals, will surely come seeking revenge! Black Pot, can you smell his scent?" Chen Shi asked Black Pot.

Black Pot sniffed the bloodstains and shook his head.

The Green-robed Scholar had transformed into a worm and flown into the sky, losing his scent, making him untraceable.

Chen Shi slightly frowned, encountering someone whose body was cut without dying for the first time, he felt somewhat perplexed.

"The Southern Taoist Talisman is indeed strong, not so easy to deal with... Next time I’ll try chopping off his head."

Just as he thought this, Dingding cautiously said, "Young Master Chen, the lady mentioned once that Young Master Chen’s grandfather left the court and secluded himself among the Five Lakes, thus calling himself the Five Lakes Wanderer."

Chen Shi’s mind roared, and after a long while, he regained his senses and exclaimed, "My grandfather is the Five Lakes Wanderer? You mean, the founder of the Southern Taoist Talisman was actually my grandfather?"

Dingding nodded, saying, "The lady also said that before Young Master Chen’s grandfather called himself a Five Lakes Wanderer, he compiled talisman scriptures at the court, calling himself a man from Qianyang Mountain."

Chen Shi was staggered by this news, his mind in turmoil.

The Southern and Northern Taoist Talismans were fiercely contested; could it be that the founders of both sects were his grandfather?

What else had his grandfather done that he didn’t know about?

"The lady mentioned she had seen you at an Independent Gatherers meeting."

Dingding continued, "The lady saw you at Mirror Lake Villa, hence she asked. Do you not remember any of this?"

Chen Shi’s ears buzzed, feeling his mouth dry, he steadied himself and asked, "When was the gathering?"

"Independent Gatherers meeting, once every ten years."

Dingding was not very sure either and said, "The lady was injured this time and came to Mirror Lake Villa for the upcoming Independent Gatherers meeting. So the last time she saw you must have been ten years ago?"

Chen Shi’s eyes widened. Had his grandfather taken him to attend an Independent Gatherers meeting?

What more was his grandfather hiding from him?
