Chapter 1: The Ascetic
On the bustling streets of the Stone City of the Eastern Dragon Kingdom, almost all eyes were focused on a strange person.
His limbs were heavily shackled, his hair was disheveled, almost obscuring his entire face, and his clothes were tattered but unusually neat.
It seems that because the weight of the shackles was too heavy, he almost dragged his unshoed feet to walk, but those feet did not show the slightest scar because of this.
"Go away, go away." The young man in fine costume rode his horse through the streets, and everywhere he went, he was in a mess, and in the blink of an eye he had come behind the "strange man".
The strange man seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, his body shifted to one side, and the shackles on his body clanged, and he stopped at that moment when he saw that he could dodge the horse.
A child rushed in, and the crowd screamed, and many people closed their eyes, unable to bear to watch the child become a dead soul.
At this time, a not-so-tall figure stood in front of the child and protected it with his own body.
The strange man "Peng" and the child were knocked off by a horse and rolled on the ground for several weeks before stopping.
When the dust cleared, the ascetic was found lying on the ground, the child still dead in his arms, and the man who had ridden away from the man without even looking at him.
"This person is fine."
"How can it be okay? Didn't you see who was riding the horse just now? It was Shi Yong, the youngest son of the city lord, who heard that the city lord rewarded him with a wind horse a few days ago. ”
"You mean the ferocious beast that feeds on lions and tigers? So how can these two people live? ”
The beast is a creature that is more dangerous than the beast, and some can break the hearts of ordinary people with just a roar, and these two people were directly knocked to the ground by the beast, and the fate was predictable.
"Still dead?" The crowd shouted a word, and everyone hurriedly cast their eyes, only to see the ascetic slowly stand up and lay the child on the ground, and under his protection, the child did not even have a trace of dust on his body.
"Thank you!" The child was a little embarrassed by the strange man in front of him, but he still controlled the fear in his heart and thanked him weakly.
The strange man reached out and tried to stroke the child's head.
A woman sprang out of the crowd and fled the scene without saying a word, picking up the child before the stranger could touch it.
The strange man's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and he didn't know what kind of expression it was on his covered face.
He withdrew his hand, straightened up, ignored the dust, and walked forward again, chains colliding with each other with a rhythmic sound.
The bustling streets seemed to have been muted, no one spoke, just silently made way for the weirdos, and the sound of shackles clashing grew farther and farther away with his steps.
After his figure disappeared completely, the whole street returned to normal.
"The youngest son of the city lord?" The strange man said silently after leaving the street.
He slowly rolled up his cuffs, and his not-so-thick forearms were covered with countless scars, large and small.
I saw him take out a knife and slash it on his arm, the blade breaking through the scarred skin.
He put the knife away and let the blood run down his arm.
Night was slowly falling, and in the city lord's mansion, a young man was kneeling in the hall, it was the little boy who caused the riot in the morning.
"Dad, I didn't kill anyone this time, you won't be able to." There was not the slightest remorse on the face of the kneeling little boy.
"You kneel for me, tell you how many times, do things to be low-key, do you know how many people are staring at your dad and my position, once I am not in this position, your dad can't keep you if he wants to." The city lord roared with hatred of iron and steel.
The little boy saw that his father was really moved this time, and closed his mouth tightly, the little boy can cause trouble, but the ability to see people's faces is also very high, which is also one of the reasons why the city lord will spoil him so much.
About half an hour later......
"Okay, I will ban you for ten days, and if you commit any more crimes, I will expel you from the house." The lord of the city read out the punishment decision to the little prince.
The little boy was happy in his heart, the punishment of grounding was not painful for him, and when his mother blew some pillow wind, he might regain his freedom in a few days.
"The city lord really showed me what iron-faced selflessness is today." The sudden sound startled everyone around the main hall.
The city lord stood up even more, the martial arts realm has reached the level of "general", and its perception ability has long been out of the category of people, and now, there is a person hidden in the main hall who does not know it, which shows that this person's strength should be above himself.
"I don't know which adult came to the house, and I hope to show up, so that the contemptible people can enjoy the friendship of the landlord." The city lord clenched his hands into fists and said loudly, his voice echoing from the main hall.
"Do you really want to entertain me?" A hand rested on the city lord's shoulder.
The city lord's body suddenly stiffened, and a chill quickly spread throughout his body from his heart, his life could be taken away by the other party at any time, he tried to calm himself down, but unfortunately fear had made him lose the ability to act, and he couldn't even turn his head to look at the other party's appearance.
"Hundred, Hundred Sins Daredevil." The little boy, who has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, said tremblingly.
What he saw was a man dressed in black with a red grimace mask on his face.
Since that incident, there has only been one person in this world who has dared to use this mask.
When the little boy announced the name, all the guards in the hall threw away their weapons almost instantly and began to run frantically towards the door.
The man who was called the "Hundred Sins Night Demon" by the little boy just stretched out a finger and easily drew a cross in the air, and the fleeing guards froze in place.
One, two, three...... The guards fell one after another, their vitality had been completely deprived, and now except for the person who moved his fingers, only the city lord and the little boy were still panting in the entire hall.
"For, for, why." The city lord had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but after a long time, he could only hold back these few words.
Looking at the little boy again, he had no strength to stand at all, and sat on the ground, and soon, there was a commotion over there.
"I'm in a bad mood." These four words were the answer to the question raised by the city lord, he stretched out his finger to the little boy who was sitting on the ground, and the little boy's body began to expand rapidly, and his body had reached the limit in the blink of an eye, and finally exploded into a cloud of blood mist, leaving only the yellow liquid on the ground.
There was a crunch sound from the city lord's neck, and he never dreamed that he would die like this.
