Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 18 – The elders in the town are not human



Chapter 18 – The elders in the town are not human

Su Yun withdrew his arm, the severe pain causing his right arm to go numb, his forehead veins popping out, and beads of sweat the size of beans covering him in an instant. The pain was so intense that he almost fainted.

"Did I win?" he asked, holding his right arm with his left hand, looking somewhat dazed.

At the critical moment just now, he swung his arm according to the sword technique he used to slay the divine crocodile with the Immortal Sword. He never thought that he would actually be able to kill Yang Sheng, this terrifying enemy.

The Immortal Sword was the culprit that blinded him, and it was also the nightmare he had when he was cultivating the Crocodile Dragon Song. He never expected that, in his long-term illness, he had unconsciously imitated the form of this sword.

He also never expected that this sword would be so powerful.

"Brother Xiao Yun..."

Su Yun heard the voice and was overjoyed. "Buping, you\'re still alive?"

He was about to walk over, but his legs went weak and he almost fell.

On the other side, Hua Hu was crawling towards them with a broken leg, while Li Xiaofan was leaning against a tree, holding his broken tail and crying.

Su Yun also heard Qing Qiuyue coughing. He finally smiled weakly and sat down.

The next morning, Su Yun, Hua Hu, Li Xiaofan, and others appeared at the pharmacy in Tianmen Town.

Tianmen Town was still as gloomy as ever, with no sun in sight, but outside the town, the sun was shining brightly, which was strange.

Luo Damao ran the only pharmacy in the town. She used a cloth strip to suspend Su Yun\'s right arm in front of his chest and used a wooden board to fix Hua Hu\'s broken leg, giving him a crutch to lean on.

"You don\'t know how to fight, but you want to learn to fight!" Luo Damao straightened Li Xiaofan\'s broken tail and fixed it with a wooden stick, sneering, "How come you\'re not dead yet?"

Hua Hu, Li Xiaofan, and other fox demons looked at this deity with fear and trembling, afraid to speak.

Su Yun smiled and said, "Don\'t scare them, Auntie. We were really almost beaten to death."

Luo Damao snorted and continued to bandage Hu Buping, suddenly tightening it. "Stop being disobedient!"

Hu Buping burst into tears and was about to cry out in pain, but the foxes covered his mouth, whimpering in protest.

Finally, Luo Damao treated their injuries, and Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief. He pulled Luo Damao to a corner and whispered, "Auntie, I think Qiu Bo is not human."

Luo Damao was startled and said calmly, "Xiao Yun, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Su Yun hesitated for a moment and didn\'t say what he saw in the world behind Tianmen. He said, "I just have this suspicion that Qiu Bo may have already died. The current Qiu Bo may only be his spiritual form."

Luo Damao chuckled, "You\'re just thinking too much, kid. Old Qiu can eat, drink, jump, and dance. How could he be a ghost? Don\'t think too much. Don\'t go wandering around these days, or you\'ll be beaten up again."

Su Yun nodded.

Hua Hu leaned on the crutch, Li Xiaofan stood on his head with his tail up, and Hu Buping and Qing Qiuyue lay on a stretcher, basking in the sun in Su Yun\'s courtyard.



The entire Tianmen Town was shrouded in darkness, but only Su Yun\'s courtyard had sunlight shining down.

This was all thanks to Qiu Shuijing.

Since this Mr. Shuijing came, he laughed loudly and broke up the gloom in the sky above Tianmen Town. As long as it was daytime and there was sun, there would be sunlight shining down, exactly on Su Yun\'s courtyard.

Su Yun sat there, pondering, "Second Brother Hua, I don\'t know why, but I always feel that there\'s something strange about our Tianmen Town."

The four foxes looked at each other, not knowing why he said that.

When was Tianmen Town ever normal?

Su Yun continued, "I suspect that one of our elders in the town may not be human."

The four foxes were choked and coughed repeatedly.Hu Buping was about to speak, but Hua Hu stuffed the crutch into his mouth, making him unable to say a word.

Hu Buping felt wronged and thought to himself, "Little Yun Ge doesn\'t know that in this town, not just one elder is not human, but all the elders are not human..."

Su Yun said, "But I don\'t think he has any malicious intent. On the contrary, he\'s been very good to me."

He quieted down and sat there lost in thought. Qu Bo was indeed very kind to him, an amiable old man.

The four fox demons also rested and recuperated.

The Honglu Transforming Qi Chapter could strengthen the body and improve recovery speed. So, at sunset and moonrise, they went to absorb the essence of the sun and moon, tempering their vitality.

Su Yun\'s mind was filled with the sword that killed Yang Sheng.

That sword easily broke through all of E Long Yin\'s moves. Although Su Yun was in despair at the time and used his arm as a sword, he still made that one sword.

But now, he didn\'t know how to reproduce that sword.

Su Yun tried to activate his blood and energy, but his right arm was seriously injured. When he killed Yang Sheng, his blood and energy were almost berserk, rushing into his dislocated right arm and tearing the tendons and fascia, leaving bruises everywhere.

Now, when he tried to activate his blood and energy a little, he felt like his right arm was about to explode.

"After I recover, I\'ll try to reproduce that sword technique."

He also contemplated E Long Yin\'s scattered hand techniques, trying to practice a few moves whenever he felt inspired. Every time he tried to practice, it hurt so much that he wrinkled his brow.

"If you don\'t behave, you\'ll be crippled!"

Luo Dama came to change their medicine and saw Su Yun practicing scattered hands with his left arm. She couldn\'t help shaking her head and told them, "Don\'t go out in the next few days. Some outsiders have come near Tianmen Town, and they\'re very fierce."

"Outsiders?" Su Yun looked wary.

Outsiders rarely came to Tianmen Town.

He killed Tong Fan in the Ghost Market, and judging from Yang Sheng\'s performance, Tong Fan was probably an important person. Could the so-called outsiders have come because of Tong Fan\'s death?

Luo Dama checked on them and said, "I heard they came to catch the Jiao Long. Someone spread the word that there\'s a big snake here that\'s going to turn into a Jiao Long, so they all want to catch it. You guys stay in the town and don\'t go out to join in the fun."

"They\'re not here to find me?"

Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief and thought, "Then they must be here to catch the village\'s food. This snake even invited us to watch it transform into a Jiao Long."

The transformation of a snake into a Jiao Long was a rare opportunity.

In the world behind Tianmen, Su Yun encountered Xian Tu and saw E Long\'s transformation into a Jiao Long, so he wasn\'t very interested in the big black snake\'s transformation into a Jiao Long.

Besides, he couldn\'t see the process of transformation because he was blind.

However, for Hua Hu and the others, watching the transformation into a dragon was of great significance and would greatly improve their E Long Yin. They couldn\'t miss it!

Su Yun rested and recuperated. During these two days, he successfully practiced the fourth level of the Honglu Transforming Qi Chapter, and his vitality became even stronger.

When his shoulder injury was almost healed, Su Yun began practicing scattered hands over and over again. After experiencing the battle with Yang Sheng, his understanding of E Long Yin became deeper and deeper. Although he couldn\'t practice because of his injuries, he had already practiced the thirty-six scattered hands countless times in his mind. n0vElusB.c0m

He also figured out the secrets of the thirty-six scattered hands of E Long Yin.

It was one thing to understand it in his mind, but he needed his body to master it. So as soon as his injuries were healed, he began practicing continuously.

Hua Hu\'s broken bones were not yet completely healed, so she stood by with a crutch, watching Su Yun become more and more proficient in the thirty-six scattered hands. In a trance, he looked like a multi-headed E Long demon, fierce and ferocious, attacking from all sides, frightening!

"Hua Hu couldn\'t help feeling happy for him, saying, "Little Yun\'s skills are getting stronger and stronger."Suddenly, the sound of the crocodile dragon thunder became louder and louder, and the elemental energy in Su Yun\'s chest became more and more violent, as the four types of crocodile dragon thunder merged into one.

At the moment when these four sounds merged, the sound seemed to change, causing the elemental energy inside Su Yun\'s body to violently rub against each other, and a long roar erupted from his chest.

The dragon\'s roar was like a great bell, with the sound of metal and stone interweaving. In this moment, blood and qi surged out of Su Yun\'s body, transforming into a crocodile dragon. Within the crocodile dragon\'s body, a jiao dragon was struggling, tilting its head and howling, trying to break free from its shell!

At this moment, Su Yun was like a crocodile dragon undergoing metamorphosis, desperately shedding his crocodile skin and transforming into a jiao dragon!

Hua Hu almost thought she was seeing things and quickly rubbed her eyes. "Is this the third achievement of the crocodile dragon\'s roar, the manifestation of qi and blood? But wait, didn\'t Little Yun just recently achieve the fourth transformation of the Hong Lu Shifting Furnace? How could he achieve the manifestation of qi and blood?"

Su Yun\'s blood and qi overflowed from his body, forming an unstable and struggling crocodile dragon shape, like a demonic monster trying to cross the tribulation!

Su Yun was completely unaware of this and stood there with his eyes closed.

At this moment, something strange was happening inside his body.

His spiritual power and techniques, the seventh layer of the Huang Zhong, suddenly appeared on the surface of the ring, displaying one crocodile dragon picture after another!

The ring had 360 degrees, and each crocodile dragon picture occupied one degree, with a total of 36 pictures, occupying 36 degrees.

As the ring rotated, the crocodile dragon pictures on the 36 degrees roared and galloped, precisely the 36 stances of the crocodile dragon\'s roar!

Su Yun was amazed.

Others may not know the origin of the Huang Zhong, but he knew it very well.

When he was young, he lost his sight and was melancholic. One day, he stumbled upon a crooked-necked willow tree outside the town and sat down to cry. The old man Cen who was under the tree took pity on him and told him about the time scales: years, months, days, hours, characters, seconds, and huo.

Cen told him that as long as he had a clock in his mind that recorded time, even if he had no eyes, he could survive like someone with eyes, see everything around him, and feel the beauty of the world.

Su Yun believed it to be true, and the naive him climbed up to the clock tower in town, touching the bronze bell inside bit by bit.

He imagined that there was a yellow brass bell in his mind, different from the bronze bell in the clock tower. His yellow bell was divided into seven different layers, each with different time scales and speeds.

Later, he learned that this was called visualization.

But at that time, Su Yun was only seven years old and didn\'t know any of this. He constantly imagined the yellow bell to survive and "see" everything around him, deepening his impression of the yellow bell.

Over time, he had such a yellow bell in his mind.

However, his yellow bell did not have a crocodile dragon picture in its scales!
