Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 327 - 142: The Monstrosity that Crawled Out of the Netherworld! The Barrier Torn Apart! (Mega - of 10,000 Characters, Subscription Requested)_2
The Old Blue Ox similarly drew a tremendous amount of attention.
Or more specifically, the figure mounted on the Ox’s back, the Nanjun County Prince, received stares of astonishment——because the Nanjun County Prince was bound and gagged with a cloth, apparently kidnapped.
The scene resembled a pair of fierce robbers carrying off a wealthy old man, and with a Green Ox in tow, evidently to cart off a hefty ransom.
Although the narrative conjured up by the merchants and villagers was somewhat far-fetched.
Still, the image made it hard not to let one’s imagination run wild.
Particularly with the faintly sinister aura emanating from Fan Wu.
More bandit-like than the bandits themselves!
Quite intimidating!
"I knew I should have come out dressed as a man..." Yun Jiuqing muttered to herself. It was one thing for these people to pay attention to Taoist Priest Fan, but why did they have to scrutinize her, a mere nobody so closely?
Just as she tried to ignore the surrounding gazes, looking to find a decent inn to stay in Hegou Village.
All of a sudden.
She heard the sound of a rapidly approaching carriage behind her, the rumbling of wooden wheels against the rough village road made her seriously wonder whether the carriage was about to fall apart.
Yun Jiuqing quickly looked back and sure enough, saw a carriage hurtling towards her.
At the same time.
She heard the carriage driver yelling at the top of his lungs, "It’s a matter of life and death, make way! Make way, I beg of you!"
Yun Jiuqing listened to the urgency in his voice and was speechless. The carriage was speeding so fast that by the time his plea to make way finished, someone might have already been knocked flying.
Luckily, as a Cultivator, her reflexes were fast.
Just as Yun Jiuqing was about to dodge, she suddenly noticed that Daoist Priest Fan beside her did not move to evade.
Well!
If Daoist Priest Fan did not avoid it.
Then there was no need for her to either.
Yun Jiuqing obediently stood behind Fan Wu, because she felt that with her small frame, the best way to avoid being hit by the carriage was to hide behind the Taoist Priest.
"Please let us through, noble sirs! Whoa, whoa, whoa! It’s over, it’s over! I... I can’t control the horse anymore!" the driver shouted in terror.
Watching Fan Wu who stood close by, he felt his second half of life would probably be spent in jail.
After all, running someone over with a carriage... uh, it seemed like more than one person!
Damn it!
Running over more than one person with a carriage on the street!
That most likely meant no second half of life at all, for it would be the headsman’s axe for him.
Facing the charging steed and the carriage it hauled, Fan Wu remained indifferent, standing still. He simply glanced at the galloping horse with eyes calm and untroubled.
Fan Wu did not even bother to emanate an intimidating aura, yet the reflection of Fan Wu in the large eyes of the oncoming steed made it seem as if he wasn’t a living being but a ferocious Demon or Devil.
The horse’s eyes showed terror as it frantically tried to brake on the ground, vigorously shaking its head in an attempt to stop its mad dash.
When it came within inches of Fan Wu.
It halted.
"Mother... my mother..." the driver, drenched in cold sweat, wanted to berate the man for not moving aside. Hadn’t he seen such a big carriage coming? Hadn’t he heard the noise?
But upon seeing Fan Wu, he immediately fell silent and swallowed hard, not daring to speak.
Especially when he saw the large sword carried behind Fan Wu.
It added greatly to his psychological pressure.
The driver even thought that the sword on Fan Wu’s back was much taller than the man himself!
In the end.
The scolding he was about to blurt out turned into this inquiry, "Mighty... mighty... mighty sir, you weren’t frightened, were you?"
Very humbling.
No helping it.
In the face of Fan Wu.
He couldn’t help but feel humiliated!
He dared not be otherwise!
"Eh?"
At this moment, Yun Jiuqing beside Fan Wu seemed to have discovered something. She curiously looked at the driver, or rather, at the carriage behind him.
"Daoist Priest Fan, there’s Yin Energy!" The moment she uttered these words, Yun Jiuqing realized her blunder.
If she could see the Yin Energy.
Could Daoist Priest Fan not see it? Did he really need her reminder?
"Indeed, there’s Yin Energy," Fan Wu responded casually, then bypassed the frightened horse.
Approaching the driver.
As Fan Wu drew near, the driver was so terrified that he felt a numbness in his bladder, and had he not restrained himself, he would have wet himself on the spot.
Even though Fan Wu had not said a word, the driver instinctively stepped aside, unsure why he felt compelled to do so.
Perhaps it was the instinct to survive that urged him.
Then the driver saw this robust man.
Seemingly about to lift the curtain of the carriage.
Instantly!
The driver turned pale with horror, his fear momentarily overridden by panic as he quickly shouted, "Please, don’t open it! It must not be opened! It really cannot be opened!"
After repeating himself three times about not opening it, he hastily explained, "Daoist Priest Yuan once said, until we reach the Land of Ultimate Yin, we must not open the curtains, otherwise terrible trouble will ensue!"
