Chapter 183 - 183: 166: Four Saints and Lord Xuanwu
[Constitution:30]
[Skills:Turtle Posture, Shell Breathing LVI]
Chen Sheng looked at the light green glow covering the sheep-faced man’s body with a hint of surprise.
He knew very well the power of this green wind.
While it might not mean much to him…
For someone at the level of the sheep-faced man, it was not easy to bear.
Therefore,
He was very curious about the source of this glow.
At this moment.
Only when Chen Sheng’s voice rang out did the sheep-faced man, his attention focused on the cave entrance behind him, notice the existence of others in the cave.
Whoosh!
He instantly springs up from the ground, adopting a defensive stance.
“You
The sheep-faced man was about to speak.
But when he saw Chen Sheng’s faceless mask and the faintly flowing deep blue tortoiseshell texture on his body, he froze on the spot.
If it was just the faceless mask.
Without a second thought, the sheep-faced man would have immediately attacked Chen Sheng.
That’s because all the faceless men participating in this operation had died in the first wave of attacks, with no survivors.
The tortoiseshell texture on Chen Sheng’s body was the reason that made the sheep-faced man hesitate.
This… this is obviously the characteristic of Lord Xuanwu’s breathing technique!
Thump!
Without any hesitation.
The sheep-faced man immediately dropped the dog-faced man on his back and knelt before Chen Sheng.
“Subordinate pays respects to Lord Xuanwu!”
Huh?
Chen Sheng was stunned.
He had made preparation for beating the sheep-faced man to pulp if he refused to answer the questions.
But how come he knelt down as soon as they met?
And looking at his demeanor, did he confuse himself with some big shot in the Holy Sect?
However…it seems not necessarily a bad thing. Behind the mask,
The corner of Chen Sheng’s mouth curled up slightly.
He began to play along.
Putting his hands behind his back and lifting his head slightly,
A look of condescension filled his eyes.
“Get up, let’s go,” he said in a deep voice.
The green wind had lingered in the cave for more than ten seconds and was about to proceed further.
He had to ask questions while walking.
As soon as his voice fell,
Chen Sheng took a step forward and walked past the sheep-faced man, seemingly not caring about his presence at all.
“Yes.”
The sheep-faced man did not sense anything amiss.
Immediately he stood up and followed Chen Sheng with utmost respect.
He secretly observed Chen Sheng’s figure from behind.
His eyes filled with fervent admiration.
This is Lord Xuanwu, one of the Four Saints!!
He’s someone beyond his reach!
Even before the Tide Rising Period arrived, the sheep-faced man had joined the Holy Sect and participated in countless operations.
Two months ago,
He had once seen Lord Xuanwu take action from a distance during an operation.
With just a casual blow,
The mountains and rivers rolled back,
Heaven and earth changed color.
The terrifying might of heaven and earth left him struggling to believe that a human could do such a thing.
It was just… like a heavenly god.
Today,
The Qi in Heaven and Earth was rising,
The sheep-faced man didn’t dare to imagine just how terrifying the strength of the Four Saints might be.
However, he knew clearly.
In front of Lord Xuanwu, one of the Four Saints, Zhao Zhenfeng is nothing.
Perhaps Lord Xuanwu could easily crush that arrogant Power Sect kid with just a finger.
Thinking of this,
The sheep-faced man couldn’t help but tremble with excitement.
It seemed like he could already see Zhao Zhenfeng’s face of despair when facing Lord Xuanwu.
“Are you so certain that I’m Xuanwu?”
Chen Sheng’s voice entered his ears,
Causing the excited sheep-faced man to become startled.
He lifted his head,
Just in time to meet Chen Sheng’s somewhat playful, smiling glance.
The sheep-faced man felt a chill in his heart.
Lord Xuanwu is testing me!
Of course…
Although the turtle shell patterned stone assured the Sheep-faced man that the person in front of him was certainly Xuanwu, one of the Four Saints.
But he hadn’t yet proved his own identity.
Thinking of this,
The sheep-faced man thumped to his knees once again.
“My name is…”
He spoke rapidly, explaining one piece of evidence after another to verify his identity.
In the end,
He stretched out his hand and revealed a wooden piece.
“This was made by Lord Azure Dragon to resist storms and thunder, a highly prized treasure.”
“I received this reward after accomplishing a mission.”
Gazing at the piece of wood in the palm of the sheep-faced man, Chen Sheng was thoughtful.
So,
This was the secret as to how the other party could resist the green airflow.
Without any hesitation,
Chen Sheng immediately took the wooden piece.
As soon as the piece of wood was removed from his body,
The glow around the sheep-faced man instantly vanished.
The raging wind kept attacking, tearing wounds on its skin.
The thunder was even eroding his body through the wounds, causing the sheep-faced man to instantly feel intense stabbing and burning throughout his body.
Overwhelmed by the excruciating pain, veins on his forehead bulged.
He opened his mouth.
But in the end,
He held his silence, silently bearing the pain, waiting for Chen Sheng to return the wooden piece.
As for Chen Sheng.
He rubbed the wooden piece in his hand.
Instantly a green glow covered his body, keeping the stormy thunder out.
Interesting….
Chen Sheng nodded his head.
Although Chen Sheng had seen many magical things since acquiring the panel.
But he was encountering a magical item-like object for the first time.
A good thing.
It’s mine now.
Chen Sheng tucked it directly into his pocket.
“Lord Xuanwu—”
Seeing this,
The sheep-faced man was horrified.
Without the protection of the wooden chip, he wouldn’t survive for five minutes in this green airflow.
Faced with a threat to his life,
The sheep-faced man could no longer hesitate and was about to beg Chen Sheng to spare him.
“You haven’t answered my question yet.”
“What evidence do you have to be certain of my identity?”
But when this cold voice echoed in his ear,
The sheep-faced man looked up.
Making eye contact with Chen Sheng’s disdainful gaze.
That aura of natural superiority.
The sheep-faced man instantly felt a chill in his heart.
He understood.
He had been overly presumptuous.
He thought he had deciphered the deeper meaning of Lord Xuanwu’s words.
But he forgot that big figures would not let their subordinates casually guess their thoughts.
Now….. he was in danger.
One simple mistake, and he could be crushed on the spot by Lord Xuanwu.
Thinking of this,
Thud!
His head came crashing down.
The force of it was so great that it created a small pit on the ground.
“I am guilty of presumptuously speculating, I deserve to die!”
“The reason I could recognize Lord Xuanwu was because of the anomalies on your body. ”
The sheep-faced man explained, repressing his pain.
“There are many throughout the world who practice the Breathing Techniques.”
“Aren’t you afraid that I am just someone who happens to practice the same Breathing Technique?”
Chen Sheng continued to voice his doubts.
If it were him,
He wouldn’t rely on the anomaly of the Breathing Technique to determine someone’s identity.
And he doesn’t think that the sheep-faced man in front of him is a fool.
Chen Sheng suspected there was another secret.
“I… because…”
Upon hearing this question,
The sheep-faced man became a little hesitant. Not just due to the pain,
But also because of his inner hesitation. “Speak.”
Chen Sheng commanded in a deep voice.
“I deserve to die, I once privately inquired about the Breathing Techniques that the lords learned.”
“I know that the Breathing Techniques practiced by lords are all transmitted from the ancient times.”
“And I also know, practitioners of the Divine Beast Breathing Techniques seem to be able to master something called ‘Authority’, and this ‘Authority’ can only be held by one person.”
“Therefore, I dared to presume your identity..”
