The Holy Maiden Uncovers My Coffin When I Just Become An Emperor's Corpse-Chapter 345: Time, Space!
Chapter 345: Chapter 345: Time, Space!
The blazing sun hung high in the sky, casting its heat upon a wide road.
"Hyah, hyah, hyah!"
With loud shouts, two horseback riders whipped their horses into a mad gallop, racing towards the scene from afar!
These two were a man and a woman, each stained with blood.
The man, in particular, even had his face smeared red with it!
Yet he paid no mind and wiped it with his hand, then looked back.
His eyes narrowed, gazing down the road behind him.
There, more horses were charging forth, each ridden by a shadowy figure.
Every one of those figures held a weapon, and the one at the forefront rode a horse, distinguished by his single eye.
He brandished a large saber in one hand, occasionally lifting it to shout.
"Come on, boys, after them!"
The followers on horseback heard the call, and immediately responded with excited shouts.
"Kill, kill them!"
Witnessing this scene, the man at the front, with bloodied face, grimaced.
"Sister, the villains from Dadao Village are on our tail!" he said coldly.
Beside him, riding on another horse, the woman bit her red lips.
Her eyes reflected fear and sorrow.
"Brother, then let’s run faster!
Mother and Father were both killed trying to stop them.
We mustn’t die!
We need to survive, return home,
and ask the City Lord to hunt them down!" the woman insisted.
The man nodded.
"Alright, sister!
Run fast, you must make it back alive!" he declared solemnly.
The woman was just about to agree when she suddenly realized,
her brother hadn’t mentioned whether he himself would run, or survive!
"Brother, what about you?"
However, her question received no response.
Not even a soul remained at her side.
She hurriedly turned her head, seeing the blood-soaked man had already halted.
In the distance, he watched her with deep eyes and drew a sword!
"Sister, I will hold them off!
You must survive!" he shouted.
He turned his horse back, blocking the path of the pursuing villains from Dadao Village.
"Brother!" the woman cried out, tears streaming down her face.
There was no answer. Reluctant to watch any longer, she resolutely turned her head away, tears continuously falling.
Memories of her father, her mother, and her uncle flooded her mind...
The scene where they stood selflessly in the way of the Dadao Village villains, allowing the siblings to flee.
Tears fell even more fiercely!
"Kill, kill him!"
The familiar shout of the village chief echoed behind her, compelling her to cover her ears.
"Brother... I, I will live well, I must survive to avenge them."
Her gaze turned resolute as she rode her horse furiously forward.
Suddenly, her eyes widened because she saw,
suddenly a figure appeared on the road ahead, walking toward her.
"Move, move!" she hastily shouted.
If the person didn’t move, she would collide with them.
Given the speed at which she rode, it wasn’t just a matter of killing the person.
Even if a wall appeared before her, the horse she rode could crash through it!
"It’s over, he didn’t move away!" the woman was stunned.
She was a kind person, never having killed anyone!
Now, about to run over an innocent passerby...
But reflecting on the Dadao Village pursuers behind her, she gave a bitter smile.
"If he dies, so be it.
When he encounters the Dadao Village people, it’ll be a fate worse than being killed by me.
Moreover, if I kill him, I won’t get far on this horse!
Quickly, the Dadao Village villains will catch up and kill me too..."
Her smile grew more grim!
"If I’m destined to die, after killing you, I will commit suicide to repay your life with mine!
In that way, I wouldn’t suffer torture from the Dadao Village villains and wouldn’t be killed by them!"
At this point, the figure ahead was right upon her.
So close, she could discern his appearance clearly.
"A man around my age, I’m sorry!" the woman silently apologized.
Her horse galloped on, assuming she would see the man knocked flying, organs bursting apart.
But who would have expected, she saw the man pass through her horse.
Even, he passed through her body.
In an instant, her mouth gaped open.
"What..."
Her horse didn’t stop, galloping straight ahead.
"An illusion?"
The woman couldn’t help but glance back, her eyes narrowing, the man she had just faced was already behind her.
"Not an illusion!!!"
Behind her, not just the man she encountered but also the pursuing Dadao Village villains rode on!
In her sight, the lead man holding the saber also saw the man calmly strolling, a sneer curling his lips.
Then he suddenly swung his saber, aiming to cut down the man.
In that instant!
The leader’s form, his smile abruptly halted.
It wasn’t just him, the entire group of Dadao Village villains behind him calling out on horseback.
Their forms froze, faces locked in place!
The figure passed through them and vanished into the distance.
There was a sudden clamor!
After the figure passed, a strange sound filled the air.
The mounted Dadao Village villains, their bodies and horses shattered entirely.
They collapsed to the ground as if sliced apart by blades, completely dismembered.
Blood flowed all over, their faces frozen, each with wide eyes, as if having seen a great terror!
The woman was stunned, her gaze trembling!
"The Dadao Village villains, they, they’re all dead!"
She reined in her horse, slowly approaching.
Upon seeing the ground littered with corpses, she felt a wave of nausea.
Quickly, though, she laughed because those who died were her enemies!
"Serves them right!"
She thought of her brother and hastened forward.
Not far away lay a man on the ground, the very brother who had held off the Dadao Village villains for her.
"Brother..." She rushed over and checked his breath. "There’s still a bit of life, brother, I’ll go find help for you!"
Filled with excitement, she lifted the man onto her horse.
Remembering the figure who had just passed, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
"Thank you, benefactor, for saving my life!"
The benefactor she mentioned was Yang Yan, traveling from within Dongzhou to the border between Beizhou and Dongzhou.
At that moment, he was immersed in cultivation, comprehending the Dao of Space and Time!
Regarding the Dadao Village villains he had just slaughtered or whoever he saved, he held no interest or care.
In his eyes, there was only cultivation!
"The profundities of these two Daos are unfathomable without the Three Life True God Technique passed to me by the Old Sword God.
And without the Bell Furnace obtained from Saint Master Yue Qinglan of Taihuang Holy Land, grasping the true essence of space and time would be impossible!"
The Old Sword God, while journeying from Taihuang Holy Land to the Tianyuan Dynasty, imparted the insights garnered from the Secret Realm to Yang Yan.
This granted him the ability to understand these two Grand Daos.
"And the insights into these two Grand Daos have given me some understanding of the Root Bone and True Profound Immortal Pupil I activated a couple of days ago!"
In the blink of an eye, light travels for a million years!
This was the transformation of time and space!
Otherwise, achieving the level of a million light-years in a glance wouldn’t be possible!
"Comprehension of these two Daos for so long has greatly strengthened my Innate Dao Skill, Near and Far!"
This Dao Skill touched upon space!
With a single step, he moved beyond knowing just how far ahead.
A towering city gate came into view.
"Bai Shan City!"
Yang Yan’s sudden appearance startled the guards.
"Where did this person come from?"
One guard’s eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped closer.
"May I ask if you are the Immortal Master?" the guard asked respectfully.
Yang Yan didn’t so much as glance at him, walking directly into the city.
"Such cold arrogance, not sparing even a look for mortals!
He must be the Immortal Master, surely here to see the rich man’s wife in the city!" the guard exclaimed with excitement.
"I wonder if this Immortal Master can diagnose the rich man’s wife’s illness!"
