The Way of Spiritual Journey

Chapter 65, Shameless Old Man

Li Lang fought against various wild beasts in the Langya Mountains for a whole year, and his physical strength had already become terrifyingly strong.

Putting aside his unknown identity as a spiritualist, in terms of physique alone, Li Lang wouldn't even give a martial artist a second glance, and he wouldn't be afraid of even the strongest martial artists.

However, ever since that spiritual object entered his mind, Li Lang's consciousness seemed to become sharper day by day, especially after spending money, this feeling became even more real.

Li Lang held Rou'er tightly around the waist and ran wildly through the darkness, guided only by his instincts.

Soon, a figure drifting like wisps of smoke appeared in front of him. Li Lang was overjoyed and was about to speed up when a voice reached his ears.

"Amitabha! Peach Wood, lay down your spiritual body, and I will spare your life." The voice came abruptly, but even more abrupt was the figure that spoke it.

The figure stood in the darkness, blending into it completely. If it hadn't suddenly made a sound, no one would have been able to detect its presence.

"Hahaha, old chick? Long time no see, still alive? Now you dare to stand up and talk to me? Spare my life, have you lost your mind?" Upon hearing the voice, the drifting figure suddenly stopped, and after a brief silence, burst into laughter.

"Alas, twenty years have passed. I have waited arduously. Tonight, after the sect is cleansed, all past grievances will be wiped clean. I will personally send you to heaven to serve your master," the old man in the darkness sighed and said.

"Bah! You old codger, hiding like a rat for twenty years, who gave you the courage to come out and stand in front of me? Cleaning up the house, huh? I'll ask you to die!" Tao Mu was probably furious, cursing loudly. At the same time, he threw something he was carrying on his shoulder.

"Ah! Miss!" Rou'er, who was hiding not far away, could immediately guess that the thrown object must be her young lady. She screamed in terror.

Just as Rou'er was about to make a sound, Li Lang tightly covered her mouth, saying, "Don't make a sound. We're too far away to save her."

"Waaah," Rou'er whimpered in pain.

To be honest, Tao Mu was truly a ruthless and heartless person. He went to great lengths to acquire a beauty, but before he could even get his hands on her, he decisively threw her away at the slightest sign of trouble, without the slightest bit of pity. He was a real scumbag.

Since the person has already made the move, of course we should accept it. Anyone whose name includes the character "chu" (雏, meaning chick or fledgling) should not be of bad character, even if he is an old chick.

The old girl also floated down and steadily caught the thrown object. It was soft to the touch; it was a woman.

"Oh no!" Old Chick cried out.

The old man didn't mean that the woman was bad, but rather that Tao Mu had already moved close enough to be dangerous and deadly, so it was obviously not a good thing.

Tao Mu stepped forward, and without saying a word, he thrust his palm forward, producing a hissing sound.

This must be the sound of a powerful expert unleashing their inner energy and delivering a full-force attack. If this attack hits a tree, the tree will break; if it hits a stone, the stone will shatter; if it hits a fledgling, then that fledgling may only ever be a fledgling for life.

Strangely, Tao Mu's sure-fire palm strike didn't hit the old chick in front of him, but instead he pushed it out behind him.

"Pop!"

The palm struck something, producing a crisp sound, and the sound waves spread out, causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly.

At this moment, the moonlight appeared, and three figures stood clearly.

The two people at the ends are a Taoist priest and a monk, which can be identified by their attire. The man in the middle, a handsome young man, is the imposter 'Li Lang,' whose real name is Tao Mu.

"Haha, old monk, if you had arrived any later, I would have been eating all by myself." The old man laughed and casually put the woman he had taken down on the ground, showing no gratitude or awareness that the old monk had saved his life.

"You old codger, you almost lost your life, and you still want to eat all the food by yourself? Have you no shame?" The old monk was no pushover either, and he didn't hold back at all, immediately criticizing the old Taoist.

"Heh heh, enough of that, business is business. Let's show some real skills and get this old bastard out of here first."

Old Chu was also shameless. Before he could even finish speaking, he pointed his whisk forward, and the powerful wind from the expert instantly straightened the whisk. At the same time, he floated forward and attacked the peach wood in the middle.

To launch such a sneak attack in a two-on-one situation is rather unsportsmanlike.

Of course, it's one thing for the old Taoist priest to lack martial ethics, but that old monk was even more shameless.

Before the old Taoist priest could even finish speaking, the old monk had already raised his staff above his head and, without saying a word, smashed it hard against the peach wood.

"Hey, shameless, huh?" Momoki yelled. He wasn't exactly a shameless person either, and he had long been wary of this kind of unspoken understanding.

The old monk must have been a strong man, following a forceful and vigorous path. The moment he swung his staff, a powerful gust of wind whistled through the air.

"Old monk, taste the poison of corpses! I'll take you down with me!" Peach Wood's words were vicious, and his actions were even more vicious. He flung out the poisonous object, which flew towards the old monk.

"Get out of the way!" When the old monk saw that a poisonous creature was flying towards him, he could no longer care about anything else. He shouted and swerved his staff to the side, moving his body to the side.

In any situation, survival is always the top priority; even the Buddha himself would adhere to this principle.

The old monk flashed, and Tao Mu followed suit, instantly breaking through the encirclement.

"Oh dear, old monk, you've been tricked!" The peach wood flashed, and the old Taoist's whisk missed its mark, causing him to yell angrily.

Sure enough, the vicious object thrown by the peach wood landed on the ground, motionless, resembling a book.

"Ah, you dare to mess with the Buddha, the Buddha will... you!" The old monk shouted angrily and chased after him. He must have been hit by a gust of wind, because he missed a word in the word "deliverance".

Hearing this, Li Lang couldn't help but laugh; these weren't serious matters at all.

"Let's go, let's save them." Seeing the monks and Taoists chasing after the peach wood, Li Lang tightened his grip, put his arm around Rou'er's waist, and leaped forward.

"Go and see if this is your young lady." When they got closer, Li Lang put Rou'er down and pointed to the woman on the ground.

Rou'er hurriedly stepped forward and recognized her at a glance. "It's my young lady. Thank you for saving me, young master."

"Now is not the time to talk. Let's leave first." Li Lang hoisted Nalan Mingyue onto his shoulder and pulled Rou'er away.

"Wait, what's this?" Li Lang walked along and saw something on the ground. It was the peach wood thing that he had thrown out to fool the old monk, and it looked like a book.

Li Lang was a little curious: what could be something that the Peach Wood Daoist would carry with him and never use unless it was his last chance to save his life?

Li Lang picked it up and saw that it was indeed a book with the title "Yin Yang" on the cover.
