Chapter 320: Master Jingdao
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
No one expected this legendary figure to appear at the very moment when Ye Chen was about to die!
Furthermore, his stance was very clear!
He wanted to protect Ye Chen!
At this moment, not even the sound of breathing could be heard here, and everyone was overcome by a sense of disbelief.
How was this possible?
Everyone turned to look at the door of the Pure Buddha Temple, a forbidden area in Hui’an Province’s martial arts world…
Why was it forbidden? It was simply because of the man standing at the door, Master Jingdao!
Ten years ago, he was ranked eleventh on Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings. Now, no one knew how strong he was!
There was even a legend that Master Jingdao had once fought with the third-ranked expert on the grandmaster rankings to a draw!
Although it was never confirmed, it was enough to make people fear him!
However, there was only one thought running through everyone’s minds…
Why did this legendary expert want to save Ye Chen?
Gradually, the old man wearing a monk’s robe walked out. His footsteps were light and he did not release a single trace of his aura.
Despite this, his every step seemed to cause tremors in the hearts of the experts present, and their hearts thumped wildly.
The old man who wanted to kill Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. He knew very well that this was the best chance to kill Ye Chen…
He did not want to give up!
He ignored Master Jingdao’s presence, and gathered all of his strength and tried to slash Ye Chen’s neck…
His saber did not move!
“You didn’t hear me, did you?”
As soon as Master Jingdao finished speaking, the saber in the old man’s hand shattered, and a shard pierced the old man’s lower abdomen.
“Get lost!”
Master Jingdao stretched out his hand and clenched his fist. A powerful force erupted, and the long-robed old man was sent flying!
He crashed heavily onto the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.
This scene frightened everyone, and a heavy atmosphere immediately descended over the mountain peak.
At this point, Master Jingdao had already arrived in front of Ye Chen. He glanced at An Sushan and said calmly, “I want to take him away. Do you have any objections?”
An Sushan was so frightened that his entire body trembled. Who would dare to offend such a legendary expert? Not him!
“No… No…”
“Alright.”
Master Jingdao nodded and reached out his hand to help Ye Chen up. Then, they walked toward the temple.
“Miss, you should be able to walk by yourself. If you don’t mind, you can rest in the temple for a night.”
This sentence was obviously directed at Zhu Ya, who immediately covered half of her red and swollen face, nodded, and followed Master Jingdao.
Just like that, the three of them walked toward the Pure Buddha Temple, and no one dared to stop them.
Gulp!
Everyone swallowed their saliva as they watched the three figures leave.
It had been ten years since Master Jingdao’s last appearance. During that time, nothing could open the door of that temple.
Heck, they were not even sure if Master Jingdao was alive!
However, at this moment, not only did he appear, he even took Ye Chen away openly.
If this kid did not die, they would definitely be in trouble when he returned. Despite this, they could do nothing to stop what was happening.
Doing so would mean throwing away their lives!
The old man in the long robe did not even have the strength to fight back. Compared to him, they were nothing.
At this moment, Master Jingdao suddenly stopped in his tracks.
His back was facing everyone as his calm voice rang out, “After so many years, someone has finally given me a glimmer of hope!”
“However, all of you have disappointed me. You bunch of villains are not worthy of standing outside the Pure Buddha Temple! If 1 still find you here within ten seconds, 1 will kill you all.”
As soon as he finished speaking…
Bang!
The door closed, and the entire mountain peak was engulfed in a bone-chilling atmosphere.
One second.
Two seconds.
By the third second, the crowd finally reacted and everyone carried their injured companions and headed down the mountain.
Ten seconds later.
There was not a single person on the top of Thousand Peaks Mountain!
The legendary expert was furious, and no one dared to stay!
Pure Buddha Temple.
Master Jingdao placed Ye Chen onto the bed.
Then, he took out a pill and placed it in Ye Chen’s mouth.
“This pill is good for you. Don’t resist.”
Ye Chen nodded. After he consumed it, he felt his injuries begin to recover.
“Thanks,” Ye Chen said.
Master Jingdao ignored him. He looked at Zhu Ya and said indifferently, “You will take care of this kid tonight. I will go and pick some herbs for him.”
With that, he walked out.
“Why did you save me?”
The door closed, leaving only a leisurely voice that trailed into the distance.
“I don’t have to have a reason to save people. If there’s really a reason, it’s that you’re to my liking.”
Soon, only Zhu Ya and Ye Chen were left in the room.
Although the room was simple and crude, it had all the necessary things, so Zhu Ya went outside to fetch hot water, wrung out a towel, and carefully wiped Ye Chen’s face.
“Mr. Ye, I’m sorry. 1 couldn’t help you just now.”
Zhu Ya blamed herself. After all, she was the one who brought Ye Chen here.
Ye Chen glanced at Zhu Ya and stretched out his hand stiffly and touched Zhu Ya’s slightly swollen face. He said softly, “Does it still hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt.”
Ye Chen nodded. Then, his eyes turned cold and he said word by word, “You were slapped because of me. When 1 recover, An Sushan will die a horrible death.”
Zhu Ya shook her head.
“Mr. Ye, it’s just a slap. It’s not a big deal.”
Ye Chen did not continue speaking. Instead, he closed his eyes and lay down.
His mind traveled straight to the Samsara Graveyard.
The black-robed old man had already appeared in front of Ye Chen.
“Brat, do you blame me for not taking action just now?” the black-robed old man asked.
Ye Chen shook his head. He glanced at the Blood Dragon above his head and said, “I’ve been too lucky all this while. This is a good lesson for me. Moreover, the blood dragon has more than doubled in size because of this.”
“Also, 1 should be able to break through again.”
The black-robed old man narrowed his eyes, and his admiration for Ye Chen grew. Then, he said, “Your biggest gain is still the extraterrestrial spirit stone!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the black-robed old man waved his hand, and the dazzling spirit stone floated above the Samsara Graveyard.
The red light shone on the ground, and nearly a hundred tombstones shook violently at the same time!
Two of the tombstones even started to crack open!
