Chapter 9: The Coming of the Old Man I.
The dazzling wolf beast spirit let out a warning roar, its red eyes staring at the water lotus, and it did not hesitate to attack as soon as its master gave the order.
General Zhuo Gong looked at Shui Lian coldly, his eyes were full of disdain and resentment, but he was just a thin little girl, and he dared to look at him with such arrogant eyes. What's so great about her, the eldest lady of the Water Garden Palace, the daughter of the Water Garden King, and the princess of Tianyin Jun, dare to look down on him just by virtue of these titles?
Even if she was a princess who was loved by thousands of people, she hadn't died at his hands at the beginning, if it weren't for the troubled King of Jiuxiao, who was expecting to use her to find the invincible spirit weapon of heaven and earth, her spirit would have disappeared a long time ago. If her spirit disappears, she will not have a chance to be resurrected, and she can actually turn over and become a princess, and restore the prestige of Shuiyuan Palace again.
Thinking of this, General Zhuo Gong couldn't suppress his anger, pointed at the water lotus and laughed: "Little girl, do you remember me?" β
Shuilian clenched her fists, and her whole person trembled violently, she didn't remember him, how could it be? Even when he was reduced to ashes, she remembered his fierce and ruthless appearance, and the feeling of the cold sword piercing into her body. After the resurrection, she thought she would be able to forget the pain, but when she learned that General Zhuo Gong was still alive, she was terrified.
However, that fear is fleeting, she is not alone now, she has cherished people around her, people worth protecting. Holding Tenyin's hand, she felt empowered, and she was no longer afraid of the person who had killed her. Even if she can't take revenge with her own hands, she doesn't care at all, as long as she is with Tianyin, Tianyin is not harmed, she would rather not pursue the past pain.
However, she heard with her own ears that the reason why General Zhuo Gong was able to escape death was only because his wolf beast absorbed the spiritual power of the Qilin, which means that he survived by relying on the spiritual power of his father. Such a shameless traitor, he colluded with the King of Nine Heavens to kill the Shui clan, but instead of feeling the slightest guilt, he even had to occupy the last trace of his father's strength.
If it weren't for him, maybe she might still see her father again, if it weren't for him, Shuiyuan Palace wouldn't have been razed to the ground, if it weren't for him, her mother wouldn't have died with hatred, if it weren't for him, Shui Ming wouldn't have worried about her life, and she wouldn't have become the spirit slave of the King of Jiuxiao......
The resentment that Shui Lian had hidden in her heart exploded instantly, she could no longer control her emotions, she thought that she had reaped happiness and could not care about everything in the past, but she still couldn't do it after all. She couldn't forgive the murderer who murdered her father, and she couldn't forgive the enemy who destroyed the Shui family.
"Lian'er, don't go to ......" Tianyin heard those words, and immediately looked at Shuilian, worried that she would not be able to help but rush out to take revenge.
"Tianyin, are you alright?" Shui Lian's eyes were full of pain, and her tone sounded so gentle and calm, but she didn't know that her heart was already overturned.
When General Zhuo Gong and the ancient and modern faced off, Shui Lian used all his strength to bring Tianyin to a safer place, even so, Tianyin's back was still injured by the wolf beast's anger, and a two-inch-long wound was opened, and blood soaked his clothes, but he didn't want Shui Lian to be distracted at this time, he only hoped that they could survive this catastrophe.
Shuilian bit her lip, seeing that her companion was covered with bruises, and General Zhuogong was still showing off her might, she really didn't want to endure it. However, will she be the opponent of General Zhuogong, and if she is also defeated, who will protect Tianyin?
"Let's go!" Shuilian picked up Tianyin and looked away with tears, she was reluctant to leave her companion behind, but she couldn't risk Tianyin's life.
"But they ......" Tianyin was anxious and looked around, "I don't know if the reinforcements have arrived, the water is clear, hasn't he noticed anything unusual?" β
"Zhiqing will come to their rescue, now, we must leave first." It took a lot of effort for Shuilian to say this, and she didn't dare to look back at her companion.
"Okay!" Tianyin also didn't want Shuilian to take risks, he rescued Shuiming from General Zhuogong at the beginning, because he had the help of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, but now, he knew that with the strength of him and Shuilian, he had no ability to compete at all. In order to protect the woman you love, let him be cowardly once!
Shui Lian and Tianyin walked a few steps, and before they could find Shui Zhiqing, they heard General Zhuo Gong's outrageous words. The water lotus was trembling with hatred, it turned out that the reason why the golden unicorn fell sharply was because the wolf beast devoured the spiritual power.
"Lian'er ......" Tianyin understood that he couldn't keep her this time, and the demise of Shuiyuan Palace was always Shuilian's most painful memory. And General Zhuogong's words tore the scars in her heart, and even the flesh of the belt was dripping with blood.
"Tianyin ......" Shui Lian slowly let go of his hand and shook his head, "You go first, I'll come soon." β
"No, I won't leave you, wait, okay?" Tianyin said eagerly, for fear that she would rush out regardless of it.
"I'm sorry." Shui Lian can't let go of the enemy in front of her no matter what, she can't let go of the past and the present, and the three are uncertain, if even Changqing has a mistake, she will regret it for the rest of her life. Although she had wavered for the sake of Tianyin, she could never turn back at this moment.
Ignoring Tianyin's dissuasion, Shui Lian walked towards General Zhuogong step by step, and the wolf beast roaring above her head could run over and tear her apart at any time, but strangely, she did not have a trace of fear. Looking at the hateful enemy, anger replacing panic in her heart, what is she afraid of? Obviously, he has done a lot of evil, and he has no intention of repenting, as a victim, why should she be afraid of him?
General Zhuo Gong, a traitor to the Heavenly Realm, regarded his father's painstaking cultivation as jealousy and exclusion, and then harmed the entire Shui clan. Luckily escaped the punishment of the Six Pure Heavenly Kings, he had no intention of retreating, but had to move forward inch by inch. Now he doesn't even let go of Tianyin, if the reinforcements don't come, where can they flee to?
Since escaping is not the way to go, let her end it all! Originally, it was meant to be a final, and it was fitting for her to do it.
"Ah Lian......" Changqing, who was in shock, came back to his senses and hurriedly waved his hand at her, "You go, you go quickly, don't come here, it's too dangerous here......"
Shui Lian smiled lightly, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of confidence, and in the eyes of General Zhuogong, this confidence was undoubtedly contempt for him. Shui Lian didn't have the confidence to defeat him, after all, he was a person with the strength of Tianzun, he could even call out the golden bones, and even compete with his father for dozens of rounds, how could she be his opponent.
But she didn't back down, and she didn't need to, so what if she wasn't an opponent. In this situation, she can't be allowed to retreat, even if she knows that there is a disparity in strength, she has to grit her teeth and fight hard.
"Ah Lian, did you hear me?" Changqing couldn't take care of looking at the past and the present and the three non-stays, got up from the ground and ran to the water lotus, and when she saw the Tianyin behind her, she felt even more anxious, "Why are you all here?" What are you doing here? Go back, go back! β
"Ah Qing, I won't leave you, we have overcome many difficulties, and we will definitely be able to do it this time." Shuilian looked back at Tianyin, took Changqing's hand and said, "Help me take care of him, only you can help me." β
Changqing looked at Tianyin and Shuilian back and forth, so anxious that he didn't know what to do: "Don't say stupid things, even if you die, you have to go to me, you will take care of your husband, don't say more." β
"Ah Qing, you ......"
"Have you agreed who will die first?" General Zhuogong's patience had reached the limit, he snorted coldly, strode over, and the aura sword in his hand pointed directly at Tianyin behind the water lotus, "Otherwise, let's start with this kid, the heart of the Heavenly King Lao'er, I have long wanted to rip it off." β
"You dare!" Shui Lian and Changqing glared at him angrily, and before the words fell, the silver light of the Shining Spirit Lock appeared, and it went straight to his front door.
General Zhuo Gong dodged sideways, glared at Changqing coldly, raised his hand to make a gesture, and the wolf beast roared and ran towards them.
"Get down!" Seeing his attack, Tianyin rushed forward and hugged Shuilian and Changqing, and the three of them lay on the grass when they heard the roar of the wolf beast passing through their ears.
Tianyin added a few more wounds on his back, and Shui Lian found that his back was covered with blood, and he was shocked and frightened, and tears flowed. The wolf beast failed to succeed, turned around and continued to attack, Changqing threw out the chain to trap the wolf beast's claws, but was torn apart by the claws, and even his wrist was torn off, and Changqing fainted on the spot in pain.
"Ah Qing......" Tianyin was lying in Shui Lian's arms, still holding her hand with all her might, Shui Lian didn't know the severity of Changqing's injury, and called out uneasily, "Ah Qing, you answer me, Ah Qing ......"
"Something that doesn't take it easy." General Zhuo Gong sneered disappreδΈι¨ly, summoned back the wolf beast, and condescendingly looked at Shuilian and Tianyin, "Don't worry, I'll send you to her, Tianyinjun, hmph, you didn't expect the day when you fell into my hands, you expect your father to come and save you." I'm finally looking forward to this time, how can I let you go! β
"Zhuo Gong, do you think that by killing me, you can gain the trust of the Nine Heavens King?" Tianyin chuckled, "Don't forget, you betrayed the Heavenly King, people like you are a despised traitor, even the Nine Heavens King will not look down on you, let alone reuse you." β
"Shut up, you nasty brat." Tianyin said what General Zhuo Gong was thinking, and he was afraid that King Jiuxiao was just using him, so he didn't think about giving him the title of Demon King at all.
"Kill you to vent your anger, who told your father not to leave me a way to live." General Zhuo Gong refused to admit that he was trying to deal with them in order to gain the trust of the Nine Heavens King, "The Water Garden King, the Six Pure Heavenly Kings, are not good things, they treat me as a dog, I will make them inferior to dogs." β
As he spoke, he looked at Shuilian again: "Your short-lived father didn't have a chance to see me kill your brother and sister with my own eyes, when you see him after you die, you must tell him that it's me, Zhuo Gong killed you twice......"
Suddenly, a cold light passed through General Zhuogong's right arm, he let out a low cry of pain, turned to look, and saw Concubine Yan raise her chin with her hands on her hips and disdain.
"What's the matter, I know it hurts, the bamboo blade of the palace is easy not to shoot, and as soon as you make a move, it will make you cry out in pain." Concubine Yan didn't take the grinning wolf beast in her eyes at all, and she didn't care what would happen if she offended this powerful opponent.
"This palace is the most unaccustomed to the sinister villain, if you have the ability, you rush to Jingming Palace to fight with the Six Pure Heavenly King, why can't you find someone's son. You know you can beat him, why are you so useless! The more Yan Guifei spoke, the more angry she became, and she simply walked over, "Didn't you just take advantage of the poisoning of the King of Shuiyuan to be prestigious, and your little three-legged cat kung fu is embarrassed to show up." β
"Bastard, damn woman." General Zhuo Gong had never been scolded by anyone pointing his nose, and if he hurt his self-esteem so much, he trembled with anger, and the wolf beast jumped around at a loss, not knowing what he should do for his master.
"Yes, everyone else deserves to die, why don't you die the most damned?" Concubine Yan raised her eyebrows, her red lips went down, she was angry, she didn't care if she was beautiful or not, "If you are really a man, you should find someone who is better than you and work hard, then you can be capable." Look at you, you will only bully children who are not as good as you, I will blush for you, even if you win the battle, you will not win. I see, you're an emasculated waste, you're not a man at all......"
No matter how good his temper is, he can't resist such a series of insults, not to mention that General Zhuo Gong is not a good person in the first place, he was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he slapped Concubine Yan twice when he raised his hand, making her dizzy and vomiting blood one after another.
"You're not a man, you're not a man, you eunuch ......" Concubine Yan cried out unconvinced, covering her swollen and sore lips.
General Zhuo Gong was about to beat her, but I saw Die Xian'er running over, stretching out her hands, protecting Concubine Yan with her body, and plucking up the courage to beg him for mercy: "Benefactor, what you want me to do, have I done it, stop fighting, let them go!" β
"Fuck off, even you're going to work against me?" Where is General Zhuo Gong willing to listen, he raised his hand to intimidate Butterfly Xian'er, "If you don't want to die, get out of my way, do you hear!" β
"I'm not leaving, benefactor, can you listen to me, don't make mistakes again and again, they are all innocent!" Butterfly Xian'er finally said what was in her heart, she knew that he didn't like to hear it, but she had to say it, even if he killed it, it was better than regretting it.
"Zhuo Gong!" Shui Lian shook Tianyin's hand, comforted him not to worry, and looked at him fearlessly, "Let's have a real battle, no matter who lives or dies, don't affect others." β
"Ah Lian, what did you say?" Tenne struggled to her feet.
"Do you dare to say yes!" Water lotus rushed.
General Zhuo Gong sneered disapprovingly: "A real contest? You are really unashamed, and you are no match for me when you join forces, so why should I promise you. β
"It seems that you really don't have the guts." Shui Lian's eyes showed a disgusted confidence, "You will only take advantage of people's danger, and I am the eldest daughter of the Shuiyuan Palace, you don't dare to fight me, you are afraid that everything in the past is just a fluke." β
"I don't dare?" General Zhuo Gong gritted his teeth, "Okay, I'll let you die again, so that you know how powerful I am." β
