Yes, Xi Renjun didn't even have time to say more harsh words, more victorious declarations.
Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu hadn't had time to savor the feeling of despair, nor had they spoken boastful words of "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully the young and poor."
The readers hadn't had time to hold their breath in suspense for the protagonist, fearing that he would die at any moment.
The author hadn't even had time to describe in great detail the protagonist's unwillingness and the villain's arrogance, with three thousand characters left to fill.
This seemingly harmless, weak old man actually took down Xi Renjun with a single hoe?
What kind of plot is this?
Can it be any more absurd?
Refund!
It's unimaginable how the old man stood there unharmed amidst the triple erosion of the thunderous gale and cold fire, and the terrifying explosion caused by the collision of these two decisive divine abilities!
Even if that's the case, look at the hoe in his hand. It was clearly snatched from a farmer while fleeing, yet it's also perfectly intact? Dafeng Novel Network
The hoe never dreamed that after hoeing fields its entire life, it would have the honor of smashing the head of the owner of this land, a top expert of the era, the second-in-command of the Xi family.
It has truly reached the pinnacle of a hoe's life.
After this, when it bragged to the hammer and spade, it would be incredible, and even the way the箩筐妹妹 looked at it would change.
Yes, no one could understand. Not even the protagonist, the villain, the readers, or the author, were immersed in extreme shock, confusion, and bewilderment.
The only one not shocked was a donkey named Mule in the distance.
It calmly continued to nibble on the crops in the field, its expression serene, its gaze indifferent, as if nothing were more captivating than the green shoots in its mouth.
As for the matter of the old man smashing Xi Renjun's head, the donkey's sentiment was this:
A small scene, just a sprinkle of water, this kind of operation by the old man is very normal.
Having lost the control of its master, Xi Renjun, the Nether Cold Fire on Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu also disappeared.
After a moment of shock, the two of them got up and came before the old man.
First, they looked at Xi Renjun's corpse on the ground.
"He's dead?"
"He should be dead."
Then, they looked at the old man.
"Why are you two looking at me like that? Although I am naturally beautiful and can't help myself, I haven't been contaminated by the Xi family's obsession with men, so give up that idea."
With that, the old man struck a lonely pose as if he were above it all, stroking his beard.
And Wan Lei,
Grasped the old man's beard and said fiercely,
"Old man, you are truly a master. You shameless fellow, you just watched us get beaten and didn't make a move."
"Ouch, ouch, what master am I? I just snuck a surprise attack from behind, ouch, ouch, it hurts so much, let go quickly."
The old man kept yelping, but Wan Lei had no intention of stopping.
"Then how do you explain killing Xi Renjun with a single hoe?"
"Oh, although I'm not strong, I'm not too weak either. Anyone who can be friends with Li Meixian, how weak can they be?
If I were to fight Xi Renjun, I would definitely lose, so it was just a surprise attack."
"Oh, is that so? There's a question I can't figure out, and that is, why didn't Xi Renjun kill you directly before we arrived?"
Wan Lei knew that his teleportation required activation time. According to the old man's description of his own strength, that time would have been enough for him to die several times over.
"Forget it, he was just about to kill me when you arrived, forcing me to hand over some damn inch-long technique. I don't have any inch-long technique, do I? If I did, wouldn't I have shaken him off long ago?"
"What is the inch-long technique?"
"You don't even know this? Oh, I forgot you're not from this world, my apologies.
The inch-long technique is a legendary divine skill. Once cultivated, you run extremely fast. He saw me running fast and thought..."
As the old man spoke, he suddenly saw Wan Lei staring at him intently, and immediately clutched his chest.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Hand over the inch-long technique."
"..." The old man.
"You ran so fast before, you must have cultivated the inch-long technique, otherwise, how could you outrun Xi Renjun?"
"I don't have the inch-long technique, that's why I didn't outrun him and was caught by him. Why are you the same as that idiot, insisting I have the inch-long technique!"
"That's true."
The old man would never say he tripped over a rock.
It was embarrassing.
"By the way, there's another thing. Why could Xi Renjun catch up to us so quickly and even set up an ambush in advance?"
Wan Lei had wanted to ask about this for a long time, but he hadn't had the chance due to the constant fighting.
Xi Renjun was actually able to locate them in such a short time and, as if foreseeing everything, set up an ambush in the sarcophagus of the tomb.
And the tomb was where the old man led them. It was hard not to suspect that he had colluded with Xi Renjun to trick them.
"I know about this."
The old man waved his hand.
"That Nether Cold Fire, when cultivated to his level, can rewind time and view images from a period ago. It can also condense a fire spirit. The fire spirit can remember the appearance of people it sees. He must have done it this way to catch up to us and set up an ambush in advance."
"Oh, I see."
Wan Lei nodded, stroking his chin. Suddenly, he smiled slightly, a dangerous curve forming at the corner of his mouth.
"Old man, let's piece this together. First, you took us to that restaurant, and then the young master of the Xi family appeared.
Before that, you deliberately leaked to me that the Xi family liked handsome men, and then that person came to seduce me.
If nothing unexpected happens, I killed him.
Then, we were chased by strong individuals from the Xi family, and you led us to that tomb, where Xi Renjun happened to be ambushing.
You say...
In this world,
How can there be so many coincidences?"
"You suspect me?"
The old man's eyes widened.
"No, you can't just slander me. What would be my motive for harming you? We just met today."
"But, we two fell from the sky and hit you. It's natural for you to want revenge."
"Just for this? You two didn't kill me, and I have some strength, you know? I'm not that petty.
Could it be that I coveted the things you have that are useless in our world?"
Hearing this, Wan Lei fell silent. Indeed, it was hard to find a motive for the old man to harm them.
"You do have a motive."
Fang Xiaoyu's eyes gleamed.
"You and that Li Meixian are good friends, and then suddenly two people appeared, claiming to help Li Meixian.
But, how can there be such good things in the world? Two people suddenly appear, who don't know Li Meixian at all, and want to help him.
So, you suspected that we wanted to harm him, and therefore, to protect your friend, you wanted to harm us first, right?"
