Chapter 10: Saving Mother

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Xu Daoyan shouted at the many villagers: "Today I will prove to you that this Village Chief Cai and that Daoist Priest Jia have colluded to swindle your hard-earned money."

Xu Daoyan exerted a powerful tremor, causing three sharp arrows to fall to the ground. He utilized the rejuvenating energy to heal himself, and the wounds rapidly closed. He took out the gravel from his bosom and struck it fiercely.

Xu Daoyan leaped onto the wooden frame, surrounded by swirling flames. He directly tore apart the ropes, and at that moment, whoosh, ten cold arrows sliced through the air.

"Dao Yan, you must leave quickly. If you don't leave, I will die right before your eyes." Wu Shi, seeing Xu Dao Yan not leaving and confronting the village chief, was extremely frightened. This child was the most important person in her heart. She would rather die herself than let anything happen to her child. She shouted with all her might

You need not worry, take good care of my mother and bring her home! Xu Daoyan entrusted the overly frightened Mrs. Wu to Wu Xiaobai, knowing that now Wu Xiaobai had also cultivated; with his mother by Wu Xiaobai's side, there would certainly be no problem.

Fellow villagers, do not be afraid, I will not harm you. Today, I will unveil this scheme to you. Village Chief Cai has been exploiting your savings for many years. The lackeys of the Cai family, if you do not want to die, then get as far away as possible. Otherwise, these two individuals will be your fate.

This is a bow and arrow typically used for hunting. Although it cannot compare to military-grade killing bows, it should not be underestimated. Xu Daoyan lifted his mother and unleashed the rejuvenating energy, enveloping both of them within a radius of two zhang, as they charged out of the sea of flames

Dao Yan has killed someone; he actually threw a stone and shattered the person's skull! Such immense strength is required. Many villagers were shocked, as their impression of Xu Dao Yan was completely different, utterly overturned.

Countless villagers exchanged glances, as Dao Yan suddenly transformed to resemble a divine being. Such a small child, yet so powerful, left them in disbelief. They immediately moved their feet and followed closely behind Dao Yan

The crackling sound ... ... whoosh ... ... the dry firewood soaked in kerosene quickly ignited!

Xu Daoyan looked at the villager beside him and asked, "Where has Bai Yan'er been taken?"

Only the white swallow in red clothing was torn to shreds, revealing her icy skin and jade bones, with the spring light suddenly appearing on her chest, her delicate bosom half-exposed, while Daoist Jia was committing violence against her, his clothes disheveled, exposing his ugly body

The arrow is on the string, and it must be released; once the bow is drawn, there is no turning back. The village chief, with a fierce expression, said: "You little bastard, even at the point of death, you still dare to speak arrogantly. Your mother is nothing but a whore, who gave birth to you through an affair with someone else. After your father died, he was filled with resentment and anger, disturbing our village. Today, both you and your mother must die. You little scoundrel, why don't you quickly surrender!"

Xu Daoyan struck Jia Daolong in the face with a punch, knocking out seven or eight of his teeth, leaving him with a mouthful of blood and in a wretched state. He shouted sternly: "Release those three gluttonous spirits, or I will kill you!"

With a loud bang, he crashed onto the high platform, breaking more than ten bones. Immediately following was a piercing scream of agony. The flames on the platform quickly engulfed his body, turning him into a human torch, a sight of utter misery. Witnessing this scene, countless villagers felt a chill in their hearts. It is important to note that the Cai family's influence in Shiyun Town is immense. The fact that Xu Daoyan dared to do this drove them to a state of madness.

Wu looked at Xu Daoyan standing among the crowd and shouted in agony: "Daoyan, hurry and run, run as far away as possible, do not come back!"

Daoist Jia complied with Xu Daoyan's words, feeling a chill in his heart. His eyes were filled with resentment. The three hungry ghosts could inflict great harm on Xu Daoyan. Just as he was about to act, he immediately took out a bag from his belt, and three piercing ghostly wails echoed out, rushing towards Xu Daoyan.

The gravel shattered the skulls of the two large servants, penetrating through the back of their heads, with blood and plasma splattering out. The force of the stones struck the two large servants, causing them to fly straight back and fall to the ground, never to rise again

"Mother, you need not worry, I can handle this!" Xu Daoyan felt a surge of anger and shock in her heart as she saw the two large servants approaching. The resentment that had been hidden in her heart for many years erupted in an instant: "Today, I will kill your entire family!"

To know that Xu Daoyan is a seventh-tier individual, facing Jia Daolong, who has just stepped into the eighth tier as a novice, is naturally effortless

"Good." Wu Xiaobai looked at the many people lying on the ground, feeling quite astonished. Could it be that all of these were killed by Daoyan?

Although Wu's husband is missing and his fate is unknown, they do not dare to act recklessly. They are bold enough to bully the families of soldiers, but they know that any act of cruelty could lead to the extermination of their entire clan. Even the village head Cai would face death, and the Cai family from Shiyun Town would also be affected, which is why they do not dare to act recklessly

Xu Daoyan leaped up; this height of 5 zhang was nothing to him

Ten servants each drew back a hunting bow, aiming at the Wu family.

The Kyushu Divine Dynasty has extremely strict protections for the families of soldiers. If a man from the family goes to the battlefield to fight valiantly, yet his family members suffer from bullying, who would be willing to risk their lives for such a cause

Racing forward

My father went to serve in the military, bullying the families of the soldiers. What punishment should he face, Village Chief Cai? Unless you wish to be exterminated along with your entire clan, the so-called ghost soldiers, whether they are real or not, you know best in your heart. Wars can last for ten years or even decades. In our Shiliu Village, there are many uncles who have returned after fighting for twenty years. When my father comes back, do you think you will still have a chance to live

Only the servants on both sides of the wooden frame could be seen, throwing their torches into the firewood, bang, bang

If it were not for this, Bai Yan'er would have lost her chastity long ago

Today is the seventh day, and Bai Yan'er has been bathing for seven days. Daoist Jia is likely to have ulterior motives towards her. A villager, not daring to lie, pointed to the village chief's house, next to a stone building, saying: "It is in this Ghost Town Stone Building."

One by one, stones shot through the air, and one after another, the servants standing in front of the village chief were struck in the forehead by Xu Daoyan's stones.

Many villagers turned to look at Village Chief Cai. The villagers who had previously opposed paying the money were targeted by the ghost and had a disturbance, which raised doubts in their hearts

He directly walked along the stone corridor and broke through the window door

Countless villagers watched as the usually formidable Daoist Jia, now disheveled and exposed, was being choked by Xu Daoyan, leaving them in great astonishment

Having killed two people in succession, he subdued everyone, and the scene fell into an unprecedented silence.

Seeing Xu Daoyan suddenly burst in, Daoist Jia was taken aback. The sound insulation of the stone building was excellent, and Bai Yan'er was shouting for help, but it could not be heard from outside

Village Chief Cai was filled with shock and anger: "How could this brat know so much? This is truly outrageous. Fortunately, he is just a yellow-haired kid. We should quickly kill him; the villagers have nothing to say about it!"

How could Xu Daoyan leave? He coldly glared at the village chief and said in a loud voice:

The village chief, witnessing this scene, was so frightened that his whole body went weak. Even arrows could not harm it, and he shouted, "Monster, this is definitely a monster; arrows cannot kill it."

"A murder has occurred..." At the scene, villagers screamed in terror, having never witnessed such a scene before, their hearts filled with immense fear

At that moment, Wu Xiaobai arrived, and the scene was very chaotic. He hurriedly asked, "Daoyan, what happened!"

Xu Daoyan shouted loudly: "Follow me, and let me show you the true face of this Daoist Jia."

As for the events occurring outside, Daoist Jia naturally could not hear them. He has a peculiar habit of tormenting women until they have no strength left to struggle, feeling a thread of despair, and then obediently surrendering to become his concubine

He has already killed Cai Wu and does not care about adding a few more lives to his hands. He took out a stone from his bosom and suddenly threw it, producing two sharp sounds of wind.

Dry kindling and fierce flames, burning brightly, Xu Daoyan's eyes were filled with rage, and disregarding everything, he charged directly towards the wooden frame. At that moment, Village Chief Cai shouted: "Use bows and arrows, shoot them down with a rain of arrows."

Xu Daoyan acted with remarkable speed, directly grabbing Jia Daolong by the neck and dragging him to the side of the stone corridor. Bai Yaner was also startled by Xu Daoyan, but at that moment, she felt a sense of relief. Xu Daoyan understood that in a situation of despair, he descended from the heavens, leaving Bai Yaner immensely grateful in her heart

Village Chief Cai, being of advanced age, could not possibly outrun Xu Daoyan and was directly pressed to the ground, resembling a dead dog. Xu Daoyan seized Village Chief Cai's ankle, his arm's veins bulging as he suddenly exerted force, throwing the entire person into the raging fire of the wooden frame

Xu Daoyan was able to recognize that these two servants of the Cai family were utterly wicked. Relying on their status as subordinates of Cai Wu, they would harass virtuous women and bully widows of deceased husbands. Such incidents had occurred frequently; some widows dared to feel anger but could not voice it, some endured humiliation to survive, while others, unable to bear the disgrace, even chose to end their lives by throwing themselves into wells

Ordinary people generally cannot enter, as ascending the Ghost Stone Tower requires one to leap up like Daoist Jia. Not long ago, Bai Yan'er was also brought up there by Daoist Jia.

"First, burn this harlot to death. You strong men, can't you even defeat a child? Go for it." Village Chief Cai's authority remained intact, yet his heart trembled, hiding behind his servants, fearing that he might be targeted.

The villagers' eyes could not see, yet they were all too clear about these three sounds, causing each person to feel a chill down their spine and scream in terror

Xu Daoyan arrived at the Ghost Town Stone Tower, which stood only five zhang high, as the village could not possibly spend too much money to build an extremely tall stone tower

Upon hearing Xu Daoyan's words and observing the reactions of some villagers, Village Chief Cai's expression turned extremely grim. He shouted sternly: "Do not be deceived by this little bastard's nonsense. Come here, seize this little bastard and burn him together with that harlot as a sacrifice to appease the wrath of the ghost soldiers!"

Xu Daoyan lunged forward, his eyes already reddened, exuding a fierce killing intent, which frightened the servants of the Cai family into a panic, fearing they would be crushed to death.

Wu had never witnessed such a scene, and naturally, he was quite frightened

At this moment, Mother is safe and sound, and Xu Daoyan no longer has any worries.

Only by having the vitality of rejuvenation to withstand the fierce flames can one remain safe and sound. However, Xu Daoyan shielded the Wu family from arrows and was struck by three arrows in the back. Yet, due to the layer of membrane on the outside of his muscles, which acted like a layer of soft armor, the three sharp arrows merely pierced through the membrane and could not penetrate into the muscles any further.

It is a ghost

The structure of the stone building is very simple, square and rectangular, constructed from piled stones

Suddenly, two towering and robust servants lunged towards Xu Daoyan
