Chapter 132 Jiang Qing
Chapter 132 Jiang Qing
Lin Shen said to Jiang Wan'er, "I need to see your father for something!"
Jiang Wan'er was stunned when she heard this and said, "What? You want to see my dad?"
Lin Shen nodded, and Jiang Wan'er said, "No."
"what happened?"
"Ever since that sword entered the Demon Locking Tower, my father has become moody and unpredictable. I'm afraid he might accidentally kill my benefactor."
"Don't worry, your father can't kill me. Besides, your father has been dead for eighteen years and still hasn't been put to rest in the underworld. Can you bear to watch him become a resentful ghost like this?"
Jiang Wan'er thought about it and said, "Okay, benefactor, I'll take you there."
After saying that, Lin Shen followed Jiang Wan'er and walked a short distance before he saw the dried-up body of a man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies, with white hair and beard, and a sword in his hand.
At this time, bursts of white smoke emanated from the corpse. After a while, the white smoke condensed into a human shape.
The white-haired man said, "Who are you? You broke into the Demon Locking Tower without permission. I will punish you on behalf of my master!" After saying that, the man raised his hand and a flying sword stabbed towards Lin Shen.
Lin Shen slapped the flying sword away. He glanced at the man and said, "You are Jiang Qing, right?"
The man said, "So what? You trespassed into the Demon Locking Tower, let me show you how I punish you!"
Jiang Wan'er shouted, "Dad, calm down. He's not a bad guy. He saved my daughter and is my benefactor."
Jiang Qing ignored her and casually swung his hand, sending a sword towards Lin Shen. Lin Shen quickly flicked his fingers to activate the shield, and the sword hit the shield without causing any damage to Lin Shen.
After Jiang Qing stopped, Lin Shen kicked Jiang Qing directly in the face, but surprisingly, the kick went right through his body.
Jiang Qing seized this opportunity and sent a stream of sword energy towards Lin Shen. Seeing this, Jiang Wan'er shouted, "My benefactor, be careful!"
Lin Shen hurriedly jumped into the air using the Moon Step to avoid the sword energy.
Lin Shen slapped his forehead and said, "How stupid of me to forget that this guy is now undead. Ordinary punches and kicks are ineffective against him. Wasn't that the same thing the last time I fought Lei Yuange in the ghost world? I really don't learn from my mistakes."
Jiang Wan'er was stunned and said, "Can you still do this?"
Lin Shen gathered firepower in his hands and shot a fireball at Jiang Qing. Jiang Qing reacted quickly, and a sword appeared in his hand, splitting the fireball in half with one sword.
Lin Shen conjured up the Demonic Blade of Destruction and injected Armament Haki into it, fighting with Jiang Qing in the air. The sound of metal clashing was endless.
Jiang Wan'er watched from below and said, "No wonder Benefactor isn't afraid of Dad. It turns out he's really powerful."
Lin Shen summoned the phantom of the Sword of Oneness. He pointed forward, and the Sword of Oneness flew towards Jiang Qing. Jiang Qing quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the Sword of Oneness's attack.
Lin Shen took this opportunity to return to the ground and manipulate the sword to fight Jiang Qing. The two of them fought in the air for more than fifty rounds.
Lin Shen summoned the phantom of the Demon-Slaying Sword again and joined the battle. Under the attack of the two swords, Jiang Qing was obviously struggling.
At this time, Li Xiaoyao and his three companions also reached the second floor and heard the sound of fighting. Zhao Linger said, "Could it be Brother Anos? Let's go and check it out." The four of them ran over to the sound.
Lin Shen was still fighting with Jiang Qing. Lin Shen took the opportunity to inject armed color into his feet. At the same time, his feet began to turn red, and soon flames appeared.
Taking advantage of Jiang Qing's gap, Lin Shen took a step forward, twisted his waist and jumped up, kicking Jiang Qing in the waist, and the sword in Jiang Qing's hand disappeared.
Jiang Qing shouted, "No... Impossible, you can't hurt me!"
Jiang Wan'er was also confused by Lin Shen's series of actions. Lin Shen said, "There's nothing I can't do. Fortunately, I have experience fighting against ghosts before, so I know how to deal with you."
Jiang Wan'er shouted from below, "My benefactor, please don't hurt my father."
When Jiang Qing heard Jiang Wan'er calling him "benefactor," he asked what had happened. Jiang Wan'er told him the truth. Jiang Qing said, "Thank you, my hero, for saving my daughter."
Lin Shen said, "It's just a small favor. Actually, I think you should let go of some things."
Jiang Qing didn't say anything. Lin Shen continued, "I know a thing or two about your past. Actually, you can't be blamed entirely for that incident. It was Kong Lin who was obstructing it. Besides, it's been eighteen years. It's time to let it go."
Jiang Qing said, "There is something I hope the knight can help me with."
Lin Shen said, "It depends on what you want me to do. If you ask me to kill people or set fires, or do something that harms the world, I won't do it."
Jiang Qing said, "Find Kong Lin and kill him."
Lin Shen thought: "I don't care what the hell. Kong Lin isn't a good person anyway. After all, he was a mid-game boss in Xianxia II, wiping out Yu Nansong's entire family and the Five Wonders of Xianxia, leaving them as the only remaining Xianxia cultivator."
The Five Wonders of Xianxia are Jiang Wan'er's future disciples. In order not to lose the inheritance, this matter must be done as soon as possible.
Lin Shen said, "I understand."
Jiang Qing said, "Please." Then Jiang Qing disappeared.
Lin Shen walked up to Jiang Qing's body, picked up the Seven Star Sword, and said, "Uncle Jiang, don't worry. Leave Kong Lin's affairs to me."
At this time, the system prompt sounded, "Ding! Now issuing a side quest: Eliminate Kong Lin!"
Seeing Jiang Qing's resentment dissipate, Jiang Wan'er stood there motionless. Lin Shen called out softly, "Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Wan'er said, "Thank you, benefactor, for allowing my father to leave with peace of mind."
At this time, someone shouted "Anos~!"
Lin Shen looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was Li Xiaoyao and his three companions. Lin Shen was stunned. When Li Xiaoyao and his four companions approached, Lin Shen asked, "Why are you here?!"
Anu said, "How dare you say that? You left without even saying goodbye. We were so worried."
When Lin Shen saw Lin Yueru, he said, "Didn't I ask you to stay in the Shangshu Mansion? What's going on?"
Lin Yueru said with some resentment, "I know you are worried about my safety, but do you think it is great to leave us aside and take the risk alone?"
Lin Shen said, "I know, but I can't accept you leaving me!"
Jiang Wan'er was overwhelmed by the quarrel between Lin Shen and Lin Yueru, and she didn't recognize these people. Jiang Wan'er said, "Do you... know each other?"
It was only at this time that everyone noticed that there was a stranger, so they all stopped.
Li Xiaoyao said, "Anos, you are really good. You can even meet girls in a place like this."
Lin Shen said, "Don't talk nonsense. She was just being chased by a monster and I ran into her." Then Lin Shen introduced the people on both sides.
Jiang Wan'er said, "So you all are my benefactor's friends. But I don't understand why Miss Lin and my benefactor are arguing so fiercely."
Lin Shen had no choice but to recount the events of the original storyline, which had taken place in the Demon Locking Tower. Jiang Wan'er was also taken aback after hearing this, and asked, "What should we do then?"
Lin Shen thought for a moment and said, "All we can do now is to kill Kong Lin first and then take the sword. After taking the sword, we can use the Yuexing technique or the Shenwei space to get out."
Anyway, we can't escape by destroying the seven dragon pillars. This is the only way to ensure the Demon Locking Tower doesn't collapse."
Lin Yueru asked, "Who is Kong Lin?"
Lin Shen said, "He's the bastard who tricked Jiang Wan'er's parents into being trapped in the Demon Locking Tower, causing Shushan to suffer heavy losses. I promised her father that I would find Kong Lin and kill him."
Anu said, "Brother Anos is still the same as before. He always keeps his word and does what he says. He will definitely do what he promised."
Lin Shen said, "By the way, how did you get here?"
Zhao Linger said, "It was Senior Drunken Sword Immortal who brought us here."
Lin Shen slapped his forehead and said, "I've made all sorts of calculations, but I just forgot to take that old drunkard into account."
Lin Yueru said, "I can only say that there must be a divine will in the dark. Forcibly going against cause and effect has the opposite effect."
Lin Shen said, "Forget it, let's keep going." So the group of six continued to walk to the next floor.
