Chapter 173
“En?”
In mid-air, Heaven Piercer, who was bent on killing Xiao Chen, shuddered when he heard the overbearing old man’s voice. He subconsciously withdrew his claws. If he was half a second slower, Xiao Chen’s body would have been penetrated by his claws.
“Bang!”
Heaven Breaker stopped attacking, but Xiao Chen didn’t. Both of his fists landed solidly on Heaven Breaker’s chest. However, Xiao Chen’s fists didn’t have any strength left. He was only able to push Heaven Breaker back three times, while Xiao Chen himself was pushed back two meters. After that, he fell on his butt.
“Is he my grandfather?
Has my grandfather come to save me?
No, he isn’t my grandfather … ”
Xiao Chen’s blurred vision saw a white-haired old man jumping down from the roof of a building and shooting towards him. Xiao Chen’s face was filled with joy, but he shook his head in disappointment and muttered to himself. Then, he fell straight to the ground and fainted.
“Bang!”
With a light landing sound, the white-haired old man’s feet landed firmly on the ground five feet in front of Heaven Piercer, who had already turned around.
“Hehe.”
The white-haired old man was five feet tall and extremely skinny. His white hair was sparse and messy. He was wearing an old greyish-white robe that was tinged with yellow. His skinny bark face always had a wretched smile. Compared to the current Heaven Piercer, this old man looked more like a beggar.
“Who is this little old man?
Did that vigorous voice really come from his mouth? “Many martial artists looked at the sloppy little old man who suddenly appeared in front of them and asked themselves suspiciously.
However, this little old man’s skinny body naturally emitted a horrific aura presence. It made all the martial artists feel immense pressure and deep fear.
Little Tian?
All the martial artists present recalled that this skinny old man seemed to have addressed Heaven Piercer as Little Tian. Heavens, he actually dared to address the Killing God Tribe’s number one expert, Heaven Piercer, as Little Tian? Was he extremely daring?
Or was it because of his extraordinary status?
Many people were shocked and began to guess who this unfamiliar little old man was.
So what if he was strong?
What was his relationship with Heaven Piercer?
“He, he is the Sha Clan’s Patriarch, Sha … Heaven Piercer!
Heavens!
Senior Sha is actually still alive! ”
An elderly elder of the Xu family stared at the slightly familiar figure and face of the skinny old man. His expression suddenly changed drastically, and he could not help but cry out in shock.
“Kill family’s ancestor?
Kill Buried Heaven? ”
Many martial artists were confused. They were young and had never seen or heard of this name. However, they would soon understand.
“Xiu!”
Heaven Breaker, who had been silent all this time, suddenly moved. He rushed towards the wretched-looking old man.
Swish swish swish!
Slaughter Wolf, Slaughter Deity, Slaughter Army, and the other four Sha Clan’s Purple Image Realm experts did not utter a single word. Their expressions were either solemn, excited, or overjoyed as they swiftly charged toward the skinny old man.
“Thump!” “Thump!” “Thump!”
Under the surprised gazes of the surrounding martial artists, Heaven Breaker Sha took the lead and all the higher-ups of the Sha Clan knelt down heavily within a three-meter radius of the skinny old man. They prostrated themselves on the ground with their foreheads on the ground. Their expressions were extremely respectful.
“This …”
All the spectators were appalled. Immediately, they were certain that the sloppy old man in front of them was the rumored Sha Clan’s Patriarch, Heaven Breaker Sha.
“The Sha Clan’s position is unshakable now …”
Liu Ruhu and the other clan heads of the younger generations naturally had never seen Heaven Breaker Sha before. They were all astonished and immediately cursed in their hearts. The Sha Clan’s Patriarch was still alive. How terrifying was this!
Heaven Breaker Sha’s strength was definitely stronger than Heaven Breaker Sha. Based on their deductions, the one who killed Heaven Breaker Sha was at least at the third stage of Celestial Phenomenon Realm. He might have even broken through to the Dragon Elephant Realm. Furthermore, he was a Berserk Transformation Realm bestowed warrior.
Heaven Breaker Sha, who was prostrating on the ground, had a tall stature and an esteemed status. It was a stark contrast to the sloppy, skinny old man. However, his tall stature was actually kneeling to the skinny old man. Furthermore, he was kneeling with heartfelt respect. The contrast was hard for the spectators to accept, but it was the truth.
“Xiao … Xiao Tian pays his respects to Lord Father!” Heaven Breaker Sha, who was over sixty years old, was trembling violently as he spoke with a choked voice.
“Xiao Lang Lang pays his respects to Grandfather!”
Heaven Breaker Sha lifted his head slightly and took a deep look at the skinny old man’s rather familiar face. He spoke to the skinny old man with respect and excitement as he kowtowed three times.
“Paying our respects to the Patriarch!”
Sha Butshen, Sha Pojun, and the four experts of the Sha Clan didn’t even dare to lift their heads as they kowtowed to the skinny old man with incomparable respect.
“Paying our respects to the Patriarch!”
Countless experts of the Sha Clan reacted from afar as their bodies and hearts trembled. With a loud ‘plop’ in unison, hundreds of guards and black-armored cavalrymen of the Sha Clan all knelt down on one knee. Immediately after, they paid their respects to the skinny old man in the distance. Their expressions were incomparably respectful and in unison. Their loud and clear voices soared into the sky and reverberated in the surroundings!
“Paying our respects to the Sha Clan’s Patriarch!”
Liu Ruhu and the other six clan heads looked at each other and saw the fear and solemnity in each other’s eyes. Without any hesitation, all of them bowed with cupped hands and bowed with respect.
As for the elders and experts of the various clans, they all knelt down on one knee and bowed respectfully.
This skinny old man who was originally sloppy and looked like a beggar had become a super important figure that thousands of people paid their respects to. Because many of those who knelt down were important figures of the Death God Tribe, those who could be bowed to by these important figures were naturally super important figures.
The skinny old man became the focus of everyone, like a king receiving the worship of his citizens. In an instant, his sloppiness was no longer a flaw, but a kind of transcendence.
“En!”
When the skinny old man saw so many people paying their respects to him, he didn’t feel the slightest bit nervous. The wretched smile on his face vanished and was replaced with an incomparably dignified expression. With a hint of arrogance, he clasped his hands behind his back and looked down on everyone, accepting the worship of everyone.
This skinny old man was the Patriarch of the Sha Clan who often traveled outside and rarely returned to the Sha Clan. He was also Sha Potian’s father, the overlord of the Death God Tribe thirty years ago — Sha Zangtian.
Ever since Sha Zangtian passed the position of Patriarch to Sha Potian thirty years ago, he disappeared from the Sha Clan and the Death God Tribe. No one, including Sha Potian, knew where he went.
More than ten years ago, he suddenly returned and stayed in the Sha Clan for three days in a low-profile manner before vanishing without a trace. After that, he never appeared again, and there was no news of him either. He was very old and had already crossed the age of ninety. Many people, including Sha Potian, suspected that Sha Zangtian had died outside. However, he suddenly appeared at this moment, or it could be said that he had coincidentally returned.
“Just now, Sha Zangtian seemed to have said ‘this young man can’t be killed.’ What’s going on?
Why can’t Xiao Chen be killed?
Could it be that Xiao Chen is so important to the Sha Clan?
Or perhaps Xiao Chen isn’t a descendant of the Sha Clan at all, but he has a stronger background than the Sha Clan, so strong that even the Patriarch of the Sha Clan is afraid of him?
Xiao Chen is indeed not simple. He’s a terrifying young man! ”
Sha Zangtian did not ask the people who were kneeling to stand up, so naturally, no one dared to do so. Even Sha Potian did not dare to stand up.
However, everyone remembered that it was Sha Zangtian who had spoken up to stop Sha Potian from killing Xiao Chen. Everyone began to speculate about Xiao Chen’s mysterious identity, and they were even more afraid of Xiao Chen.
“Father, you’re finally back. Little Tian thought that I would never be able to see you again in this lifetime.”
Sha Potian was old and experienced, so he naturally realized this problem. Therefore, he first lamented his longing for his father, then asked in a probing manner, “Lord Father, Xiao Chen killed your eldest grandson and two great-grandchildren. Why did you stop Little Tian from killing Xiao Chen?”
Sha Potian’s question expressed everyone’s curiosity. Everyone listened attentively, wanting to hear Sha Zangtian’s answer. They could also gain a better understanding of this mysterious young man who was full of miracles, Xiao Chen.
Liu Ruyue woke up again. She was relieved to see that Xiao Chen was not killed. She was also curious about what other secrets Xiao Chen had that she did not know, so she listened quietly.
Su Qingyi was kneeling on the ground at the moment, resting Xiao Chen’s head on her soft and supple thigh. Moreover, half of Xiao Chen’s face was pressed tightly against her fragrant, delicate body. That must have felt wonderful. Unfortunately, Xiao Chen had fallen into a deep coma, so he could not feel it at all.
