Legend of the Great Sage

ers from anyone at all.

The woman only leaned against a tree and held the infant in her hands as she ate some sunflower seeds, watching the three children fight.
From time to time, she would even encourage them.
It was not like she had anything better to do.

Wu Huan followed the river and finally came across a canal that was still dry.
They had not connected it with the water yet.

With the constant rain, the river swelled higher.
As it seemed, it was only a matter of time before it burst its banks.

The demon and his lackeys might be building the canal right now.
If I destroy the barrier and let the water rush them…

However, he dismissed that thought very quickly.
He had come to kill the demon.
It was impossible for the demon to die to a flood.

“Have you come to find the hero king?” A deep voice rang out as a glorious, dragon-like head poked out from the earthen barrier.

Wu Huan leapt in fright.
Only now did he discover that the barrier separating the river and the canal was a giant turtle.

That was Old Patience that Li Qingshan had brought over from the Salvation temple.
Under Li Qingshan’s guidance, his cultivation progressed very quickly, and he grew larger and larger.
He could even speak human tongue now, so Li Qingshan arranged for him to serve as the barrier.

This must be the demon’s legendary mount! The demon loves associating with wretched daemons!

Wu Huan bowed respectfully.
“May I ask where the hero king is?”

“Right at the end of the canal.” The giant turtle’s head shrank back inside.

“Thank you.”

Wu Huan followed the canal, but he felt his heart thump more and more, almost to the point where it stifled his breath.
He stopped and gazed at the gloomy sky.

I’m not just doing this for the save of my revenge, but also to purge the demon so that the world can recover its peace.
Right now, the martial arts alliance has already begun assembling an army for an expedition to the north.
This battle will probably lead to great bloodshed and casualties.
What I’m doing here is preventing war! A hundred years later, there’ll definitely be people who’ll remember my name.
I, Wu Huan, will be the warrior who slew the demon and assassinated the king.

With such a great cause in mind, he did his best to calm himself down.
He advanced resolutely.

Suddenly, a white speck appeared on the horizon.
When he made it out, it was a white elephant, which made his heart skip a beat. She really is here! That was the spiritual beast passed down through the generations of the Nangong clan.
It had been taken as well while it was taking her to her marriage, ending up in the northern region.

Venturing a little further, he discovered the white elephant moving soil laboriously.
Even the white elephant had ended up like this, so what kind of pain had she been through?

However, it brought him relief.
If he could die right in front of her and make her personally witness the man who loved her sacrifice his life to avenge her, it all would have been worth it!

Perhaps, perhaps he could even take her away from here! In a land of wilderness like this, there was only a measly group of labourers digging the canal.
As long as he killed Li Qingshan, who could still stop him?

He gripped the Bone of Killing in his clothes and widened his eyes. Li Qingshan, I’m here.
Where are you?

The canal was filled with dust as figures moved about.
For a moment, he was unable to locate him.

“Hey, you over there.
You’ve come for revenge, haven’t you?”

Li Qingshan’s voice rang out from within the canal.

At that moment, everyone stopped what they were doing, looking towards Wu Huan.
Their eyes all shone with red light.

These dirty, dishevelled labourers had suddenly become asura.

All of the blood in Wu Huan’s body seemed to freeze.
He discovered that every single one of them was actually an innate master.
Standing in unity, their murderousness filled the air, with enough force to destroy everything in their path.
It almost made his determination for revenge, for the greater good, collapse instantly.

Now, he finally realised he would not just be facing some demon, but the king of demons!

He was unable to utter a single word.
He was unable to find the courage to do anything.
He just stood there blankly, trembling on the verge of collapsing.
