Chapter 205 Ashes to dust, dust to dust
"Huh? What, it's my turn?"
Gu Santong was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and was completely bewildered.
If it's not just about cremating the body, why is Gu Santong involved in the whole thing?
Looking up, he saw Shan Tianxie nod affirmatively, then smile and remind him.
"If I remember correctly, Senior Gu should have possessed a martial art that allowed him to condense physical flames using his inner energy?"
"Is there anything faster than burning corpses?"
"Young Master Shan, are you perhaps referring to the Kunlun Blazing Palm..."
"Not bad!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Santong finally understood.
What a clever young man!
No wonder he didn't let Xi Yu and Xia Xueyi go to get the fire, and even said it was his turn!
So that's where he was waiting.
Gu Santong looked at Shan Tianxie, whose gaze was intense and whose face was full of smiles.
For a moment, I was both amused and exasperated.
Firstly, no one expected that Shan Tianxie would take such an unconventional approach, actually thinking of using the Kunlun Blazing Palm to cover up the crime.
If that Kunlun master knew about this, wouldn't he jump up from his grave and start cursing?
But to be honest, I wonder why I didn't think of this before. This generation of young people in the martial arts world is really eccentric.
Secondly, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe towards the power of the Bliss Valley, and secretly raised his expectations even higher.
After all, he had never used the Kunlun Blazing Palm outside before.
Logically speaking, only the old pig should know this.
I never expected that the Valley of Bliss would even know such a secret.
Such terrifying intelligence gathering capabilities are simply astounding!
I'm afraid it's far inferior to even that old pig's damned Dragon Guard Manor...
Dan Tianxie, standing to the side, remained calm, unaware that Gu Santong had managed to think of so many layers in such a short time.
If he knew, he would probably laugh out loud; the worst thing is to overthink things.
He knew this only because he had watched "The World's Number One" back then.
When Cheng Shifei used flames to melt the ice, I realized that this martial art was truly excellent.
It's incredibly convenient to use it to light a cigarette or do a barbecue when you're bored.
However, Shan Tianxie noticed the gaze that Gu Santong was casting at him.
I thought it was Gu Santong's recognition of his creativity and energy-saving efforts.
Dan Tianxie couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.
This senior is truly remarkable, as an ambitious young person who grew up under the red flag!
Saving money is something ingrained in everyone's bloodline from generation to generation.
There's nothing to be proud of at all!
As for creativity, it's not even worth mentioning.
Many time-traveling predecessors have already set an example; I'm merely copying their ideas, and it's not even worth a second glance.
Although that's what he thought, his smile widened, almost reaching the back of his head.
"Old Mei, stop being so sentimental. Watch me demonstrate the Kunlun Blazing Palm for you!"
"Xi Yu, you guys get out of the way, don't get hurt!"
After saying that, Gu Santong did not hesitate any longer and went straight to the place where the corpses were piled up.
He immediately channeled his inner energy into his palms and shouted, "Kunlun Blazing Palm!"
Then, a continuous stream of blazing flames shot out from Gu Santong's palms, landing directly on the pile of corpses.
In an instant, the corpse burst into flames!
"Wow! This fire is huge..."
Although Shan Tianxie was somewhat prepared, he couldn't help but be surprised by what he saw.
This father is truly a father; Gu Santong's flames are far greater than Cheng Shifei's!
If the flames of right and wrong are like streams, then the ancient Santong is like a mighty river.
It seems that the Kunlun Blazing Palm technique is related to the depth of one's internal energy.
Although in the original novel Cheng Shifei inherited all of Gu Santong's skills.
However, his power was not something he had cultivated himself, and he had only recently inherited the power before participating in the assessment mission.
Therefore, it is quite normal that a person cannot achieve a state of complete control.
Thinking of this, Shan Tianxie suddenly recalled the time when he wiped out Tianbao Village; at that time, he was still somewhat careless.
I completely forgot about Cheng Shifei, who is like a cheat code. His Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill is so powerful that even grandmasters would have to give way!
Fortunately, Zhang Feiyu didn't have the bad luck to cause trouble. Otherwise, I would have given up on the spot.
Thinking of this, Shan Tianxie broke out in a cold sweat.
It truly felt like walking on thin ice...
Now we need to finish these things quickly and get the complete version of the ancient three-way communication tool; that's the important thing!
It was during a brief moment when Shan Tianxie's thoughts were racing that...
Gu Santong, who was standing nearby, had already burned the corpse to charcoal. Afterwards, Gu Santong stopped his cultivation and began to recover his energy.
He gazed silently at the charred remains before him and sighed.
"Whether you're a highly skilled assassin or a starving beggar, in the end, you'll all return to dust..."
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Shan Tianxie also came over, echoing his words while taking a closer look at the corpse.
He then nodded to himself, thinking to himself, "They've been burned to charcoal, they probably can't survive."
"Now that the matter is settled, why don't we take Master Mei back to Qixia Town to heal his wounds?"
Immediately, Shan Tianxie turned to Mei Niansheng beside him and asked, "I wonder what Hero Mei thinks?"
Although Mei Niansheng witnessed his traitor being burned to ashes, his feelings were somewhat complicated.
But he also knew that in his current state, let alone another Xiao Qiuyu, he couldn't handle even Wan Zhenshan.
So he nodded and bowed to Shan Tianxie.
"That's fine then, but I'll have to trouble you all."
"You're too kind, Master Mei."
Dan Tianxie waved his hand, "No trouble at all, I've already said that you're under my protection today!"
Mei Niansheng was taken aback for a moment, but didn't say anything more. Young people are normal to be a little immature, right?
The others had no objections either, since their objective had already been achieved.
Although Mei Niansheng was seriously injured, he was still alive.
So the group left the dilapidated temple and headed straight towards Qixia Town.
Just as Shan Tianxie and his group arrived at the entrance of Tongfu Inn,
Then they saw Bai Zhantang standing at the door sprinting at top speed.
He rushed in front of Shan Tianxie and the others in a flash, his speed so fast that he almost appeared as a phantom.
This startled Mei Niansheng.
I realized I'd only been away from the martial arts world for half a month.
How come someone with such light-footed skills can only be a waiter?
"Young Master Shan, you're finally back... Quickly tell the shopkeeper! This is the last straw!"
"Huh? What's wrong? I was only out for a little while."
"You just left, and the manager not only had Big Mouth prepare new dishes, but also gave me a set of welcoming phrases!"
"What is this? What kind of welcoming script?"
Bai Zhantang blushed and read out the lines that Tong Xiangyu had designed.
"Please wait a moment, sir... First, please accept my sincere blessings..."
Everyone froze in place, completely silent, except for Shan Tianxie, whose eyes shone even brighter.
Is it finally coming?!
The undisputed king of the culinary horror genre!
