C478 Old Thief
C478 Old Thief
Celestial Craftsman's facial expression changed dramatically. Only now did he believe that Soul snatching Scholar really wanted to kill him!
"Celestial Craftsman, you can shout as much as you want, but no matter how you shout, no one will come back to save you."
Soul snatching Scholar had a cruel smile on his face. He grabbed Xiaonan's hair, dragged it along, and walked towards Celestial Craftsman step by step.
"Die! I will send your son down to accompany you immediately!"
Soul snatching Scholar suddenly struck out with Heart-Shattering Palm, preparing to kill Celestial Craftsman with one palm strike.
"Humph, humph, no one will come and save him? Am I not a human, but a ghost?"
Suddenly, a burst of cold laughter rang out behind Soul snatching Scholar. A strong wind blew over. Soul snatching Scholar was startled. He hurriedly withdrew his hand and turned around to strike.
Soul snatching Scholar's reaction was fast enough, but he didn't expect it. When he struck with his palm, his back was actually empty. There wasn't a single person. At the same time, he felt a sharp pain in his hand. It was as if someone had stabbed his hand with a needle. He hurriedly let go. The Xiaonan in his hand had already been rescued.
"Who is it?!"
When Soul snatching Scholar turned his head again, he found that there was an extra person in front of him. It was an old man with a white beard. He was wearing a very sloppy robe. He stood in front of Celestial Craftsman and Xiaonan with a cold smile on his face.
Celestial Craftsman looked very excited. Obviously, he knew this old man. "Boss, I... Thank you for saving me."
Celestial Craftsman's nickname in Tianlin City was "Big Boss," but now he called this sloppy old man Boss. And from the looks of it, he was very respectful towards this sloppy old man. It was indeed the expression of the employee when he saw the boss. This matter was very strange.
"What are you thanking me for? You're my person. If I don't help you, who will help you?"
The sloppy old man waved his hand and squatted down to examine Xiaonan's injuries. Xiaonan's injuries were very serious. Soul snatching Scholar's attack was vicious, crushing all of his bones. It was a comminuted fracture, and it had also injured his meridians. Even if he was sent to the hospital in time... It was impossible for him to be cured.
The sloppy old man's brows were tightly knitted together. His hand moved like lightning, sealing a few acupoints on Xiaonan's body. He temporarily controlled the condition of his injuries, not allowing them to continue worsening.
From the beginning until the end, the sloppy old man did not even raise his head to look at Soul snatching Scholar. This made Soul snatching Scholar very angry, feeling that he had been looked down upon.
"Hey, old man, who are you? Do you know who I am? How dare you meddle in the affairs of our Killing Sect? I think you must be tired of living. "
Given Soul snatching Scholar's temper, he wouldn't be able to stand such contempt. But at this moment, he was still patient and didn't rush forward to fight with this priest. Because this Slovenly Daoist's appearance was really too strange. Currently, the manor was filled with assassins from the Killing Sect. How did this priest come in?
Slovenly Daoist didn't even raise his head, nor did he answer. This made Soul snatching Scholar even angrier. He felt that he had been severely insulted. But at the same time... The suspicion in his heart intensified. He waved his hand and shouted loudly outside the house, "Kill One, kill Two, come in!"
Kill One, kill Two was the nickname of the two assassins under Soul snatching Scholar. Their ranking was at the top. It could be seen that their strength was also at the top of the Killing Sect. What Soul snatching Scholar meant was that he wanted these two assassins to test Slovenly Daoist's strength first. If he attacked recklessly, he wouldn't be able to find out the exact details of his opponent. It was very likely that he would be at a disadvantage.
However, after Soul snatching Scholar shouted for a long time, no one agreed. It was so quiet outside, as if there was no one there. This made him even more surprised.
"Little guy, you don't have to shout anymore. Those people of yours are all sleeping now. They can't hear you."
At this time, Slovenly Daoist raised his head and looked at Soul snatching Scholar. He said faintly.
Little guy?
When Soul snatching Scholar heard the other party address him, his originally pale face instantly turned red, as if blood was about to drip out.
On the surface, he looked like a man in his thirties. But in fact... No one knew Soul snatching Scholar's true age. He had been famous in the martial arts world for more than forty years. Even if he became famous at the age of 20, he was still in his sixties.
A top martial artist like Soul snatching Scholar, after entering the Grandmaster Stage, transferred his blood essence and paid attention to health. That was why he looked much younger than his real age.
Thinking about it, an old man in his sixties was called a little kid by others. No one could bear such humiliation.
"May I ask, who is senior?"
Although Soul snatching Scholar was extremely angry, he was a paranoid person. At this moment, he was actually holding back his anger. In his point of view, there was no one in this world who wasn't afraid of death. This Slovenly Daoist was no exception. The reason why this Daoist was so arrogant... He might really be a senior expert.
Slovenly Daoist glanced at Soul snatching Scholar and said proudly, "You don't even know me? You have been in the martial world for so many years, how did you get along?"
"I have eyes but I have no eyes. Please enlighten me. "
Soul snatching Scholar tried his best to hold back his provocation and said while cupping his hands.
" Soul snatching Scholar, you don't even know my boss, the 'old thief'? "
Celestial Craftsman said hastily.
The old thief!
If it was an ordinary person in the martial arts world, they would definitely snort disdainfully when they heard the old thief's nickname. Because this nickname was too ordinary and did not sound overbearing. It was like the name of a thief.
However, Soul snatching Scholar's face changed all of a sudden. It went from red from anger to pale. This time, he was so scared that his face turned pale!
Others might not know the name of the old thief, but it was impossible for Soul snatching Scholar not to know it. He was a true big shot. Even the leader of Killing Sect had to be respectful to the old thief!
The old thief was the boss of all the antique dealers in the world. He controlled several internationally renowned auction houses. More than 90% of the antiques in the world had to go through his hands. It could be said that he was truly wealthy enough to rival an entire country.
No matter in terms of wealth, strength, or connections, the old thief was an existence that could compete with the Paul family, which was known as the World King!
However, Soul snatching Scholar had never thought that such a noble and important person would be such a dirty and sloppy Daoist. This had really exceeded his understanding.
At this time, he thought of a rumor about the old thief.
The old thief was originally an unknown person, a grave robber. In the outside world, he called himself the successor of the Mountain Shifter, but he accidentally stole an ancient tomb of the North Wei. He found a martial arts secret manual inside. After cultivating it, his martial arts advanced by leaps and bounds, and only then did he reveal his true strength. Later on, he walked step by step to the peak of the World King!
In other words, the old thief was originally an ordinary mountain mover. He was used to a slovenly lifestyle and was not used to the luxurious clothing and food of wealthy people.
The more Soul snatching Scholar looked, the more he felt that this Slovenly Daoist's martial arts was unfathomable. He was also not a match for him. Arch! He raised his hand. So it's Senior Thief. Junior really has eyes but failed to recognize you. Senior, please forgive me."
