Chapter 233 – Wu Jiu [1]
The old man seemed calm, no signs of grievance could be found on his face. However, from his pair of cloudy eyes, one could still tell that he did feel some sorrow.
“If he’s able to leave this place alive, his cultivation will certainly see another breakthrough.”
Jiang Chen thought to himself. The old man had reached a state where he could see through life and death, just this comprehension alone could help him gain incredibly much.
“What? Ten years? You’ve actually stayed here for ten years? A desolate land like this? If this master dog stayed here for ten years, I would certainly be bored to death!”
Big Yellow’s emotions were riled up.
“Being able to stay alive in this harsh environment, you need a cultivation base at the Late Combat Soul realm, at least. There aren’t many of these great warriors in the entire Eastern Continent.”
Jiang Chen said with an indifferent tone.
Hearing this, the old man’s cloudy eyes suddenly light up. He stared at Jiang Chen with a look of disbelief. He couldn’t help but start examining the young man in front of him.
Being able to discover he was a Combat Soul warrior with a single look, and also judging his real cultivation level just from knowing how long he had been here… this was not someone anyone could do, that’s why this old man couldn’t help being shocked.
“What an extraordinary young man… but, too bad…”
The old man kept shaking his head, his eyes filled with deep regret. He could easily tell that Jiang Chen was extraordinary and had innate potential, a genius like this was supposed to become a well-known guy in the world. But now, he had to die in this shit place. What a pity.
“Ten years ago, I travelled alone to Inferno Hell. With my cultivation level, I tried walking through every inch of it, checking and finding out the secrets of Inferno Hell. But, I accidentally came to this Poisonous Miasma Space, and it has been ten years since then.”
The old man said in a self-mocking manner. He didn’t look at Jiang Chen, as if he was just talking to himself. But at the same time, it seemed he rather enjoyed the feeling of talking. It seemed like he hadn’t talked to anyone for quite a long time.
“By estimations, my death will arrive tomorrow. But, I don’t want to be like all the other people who died here, having my body corroded by the poison miasma, that’s too tragic. Young man, once I die tomorrow, I hope you can burn my body into ashes.”
The old man looked at Jiang Chen, focusing on the flames dancing around Jiang Chen’s body.
This was the last request from an old man who had gone past his prime.
Jiang Chen inwardly sighed. The man didn’t ask Jiang Chen to help him accomplish any weird unfulfilled desire at the last moment of his life, and neither did he have any special orders for Jiang Chen. He only requested that Jiang Chen burned his body and allowed him to have a proper death.
“Old man, your estimation is really accurate. If I didn’t come, you’d be dead by tomorrow. But, since I’m here, death will have to wait.”
Jiang Chen walked toward the old man, then he waved his hand and unleashed a flame. The dancing flame looked like a living dragon, it transformed into a flame barrier and covered the old man within. In an instant, all the surrounding poisonous miasma was pushed away, as if it had just met its natural enemy.
Jiang Chen had decided to save this old man, not for any specific reason, but because this old man had been persistently staying alive in this place for ten years. Jiang Chen really respected his endurance. Besides, the old man showed an easy going attitude from his words, and that really gave Jiang Chen a good impression.
“What a violent flame, it actually carries a divine aura. Even the poisonous miasma doesn’t dare try to corrode it.”
The surprised expression the old man’s face became stronger. Shocked, he looked at Jiang Chen.
“This flame is the True Dragon Flame, the king of all flames. Obviously, the poisonous miasma won’t be able to get close to it.”
Big Yellow walked up to the old man with his tail wagging and said.
Only now did the old man pay more attention to the big yellow dog. When he saw that Big Yellow could walk in the poisonous miasma without being affected by it, the shock in his mind was like the raging seas.
This man and dog were both truly amazing beings.
After the short shocking moment, the old man returned to his calm state. He looked at the fire barrier covering his body, and with a smile on his face he said, “Young man, put away this flame barrier, it will only consume your energy and focus; you can’t hold it for a long time. The poisonous miasma has already invaded all my internal organs, I’m a dying person; it isn’t necessary for you to waste any energy on me.”
“I said I wouldn’t let you di here, and I will prove my words. Open up your mind and release your defense; let me help you get rid of all the poisonous miasma in your body.”
After saying that, Jiang Chen placed his palm on the old man’s chest.
The old man’s body swayed a little. He stared at Jiang Chen’s palm with no idea what Jiang Chen was going to do next. He knew very well about his current condition, and it was impossible to get rid of the poisonous miasma that had invaded his body.
“You are a dying person, what are you afraid off? Put away your defense completely, open up your mind.”
Jiang Chen said with a smile.
The old man replied with a smile, “You’re right, I am a dying person, there is nothing I should be afraid of.”
The old man who had been tense for the last ten years had finally loosened up completely at this moment. He saw the confidence in Jiang Chen’s eyes, and it made him feel calm, as well as hope.
Jiang Chen unleashed the Dragon Transformation skill, sending a Dragon Mark from his palm into the old man’s body. Letting someone else’s energy enter one’s body was extremely dangerous, the old man had put away all his defense, and if Jiang Chen was up to something bad, the consequences would be devastating. Trust was the most important aspect in this situation.
But this old man had no fear, because with his current condition, there was nothing that could scare him. After all, he was soon going to die. Besides, if Jiang Chen really was up to something bad, he could just kill the old man with a palm strike, there was no need to go through so much hassle.
