Chapter 852: Silence as Loud as a Clap of Thunder!

In just an instant, the queer feeling disappeared as quickly as it had come…

Jun Mo Xie lowered his head silently, but his brain was replaying the entire experience with lightning speed.

Every single person that had walked past the area was imprinted clearly in his mind with his super memory as he screened each one of them carefully!

Not much time had passed, and even the person who’d walked the furthest was only around 100 zhang away! Furthermore, although there were a lot of people on the street just now, it was actually less than 1,000! With such a population density, it could be described huge!

But Jun Mo Xie’s powerful spiritual sense was able to perfectly recreate the entire scene in his mind, allowing him to scrutinize each and every single person clearly. In the end, his spiritual sense was locked onto seven people! Only those seven people!

These seven people had all just stepped into the peripheries of his 100 zhangspiritual sense detection range!

After a round of elimination, Jun Mo Xie finally turned his body lightly and walked back. Before him, there was a black-robed youth walking forward at an even pace, not too quick and not too slow. His right leg seemed to be somewhat inconvenient as he hobbled ever so slightly. His face was completely expressionless, and his eyes were turbid. His eyelids were a little swollen, and his footsteps were light, as if he would be blown away by a gust of wind…

But Jun Mo Xie’s instincts told him that there was definitely something fishy about this person!

Because he could sense a faint trace of Yin Evil from him!

This kind of evil energy was strangely familiar, yet alien.

Furthermore, there was an odd feeling that even Jun Mo Xie felt somewhat frightened of…

If this person was an expert, he must have reached such a terrifying level where even his essence and aura could be retracted back into himself, returning to simplicity!

Jun Mo Xie had never felt seen such a level of strength, even on a Saint Emperor!

Jun Mo Xie’s spiritual sense told him that this person’s path was actually leading towards the weakest point in the three Holy Lands’ spiritual sense web! As his steps slanted towards that direction more and more, this feeling of his grew more obvious.

The three Holy Lands’ experts’ spiritual sense sweep always somehow missed this person. Because each time the spiritual sense swept by, he would have already dodged it in advance…

Quite clearly, this person was also using his own spiritual sense to probe, allowing him to determine his path with certainty. The most ridiculous thing was that the three Holy Lands clearly had several Saint Emperors present, but none of them had been able to discover him!

Such an ability was something that even Jun Mo Xie could not do!

If not for that split second of aura, even Jun Mo Xie would not have discovered this person’s spiritual sense’s fluctuations!

This person—although his actions looked casual and ordinary, Jun Mo Xie’s keen senses detected that the fine hairs on his body were in the most optimally relaxed state! His way he walked was the least energy consuming, the simplest way. Every action of his, although looking simple and normal, seemed to have a profound meaning behind it in Jun Mo Xie’s eyes…

As he looked at this black-robed man’s back, his lips curled slightly as a mysterious smile appeared on his face… It couldn’t be… him right?

Just as Young Master Jun had a flash of inspiration and guessed the mysterious man’s identity, the latter suddenly halted and turned around, facing Jun Mo Xie. An odd smile lingered in his eyes as he laughed. “Kid, you’ve followed this Young Master for so long; could it be you wish to treat me to a drink?”

Jun Mo Xie froze slightly and he looked up with a smile as well. “Why not? To meet is also considered a kind of fate. What’s a treat worth… I can certainly treat you to a drink, but I didn’t bring any silvers with me now. How about you foot the bill first, and I’ll return it to you another time.”

Wanting to take advantage of this Elder Brother Jun? You must be dreaming. But if it’s just me doing the treating while you foot the bill, that can still be discussed!

“Fated as expected. This is truly a coincidental meeting.” The black-robed man shrugged and said, “I didn’t bring any silvers as well.” He looked at Jun Mo Xie with a strange look. “I wonder if it’s possible to drink without silver?”

Jun Mo Xie mimicked his actions, shrugging lightly and smiling. “How about… we give it a try? Perhaps we can still get to drink!”

“Interesting, interesting…” The black-robed man chuckled and looked at Jun Mo Xie calmly. “Try.. let’s try.”

“Since none of us brought any silvers, and you wanted me to treat you to a drink, let me be the host for this meal then. Please!” Jun Mo Xie said generously and stretched his hand out to indicate the way.

“So it’s possible to play host even without any silvers… the world has truly changed.” The black-robed man shook his head and said with some emotion.

The two travelled together, towards a certain direction. In front of them was the Tanguan Hall.

Young Master Jun was revisiting an old haunt.

Although the two were practically walking shoulder to shoulder, keeping pace with each other, and they looked very peaceful and harmonious on the surface, their actions were filled with strange pace changes.

When Jun Mo Xie moved forward, the black-robed man would lift his leg right after Jun Mo Xie stepped out, moving towards the same direction. The black-robed man was standing on Jun Mo Xie’s right hand side, but with every step, Jun Mo Xie’s right shoulder would, intentionally or otherwise, move backwards a little.

Stepping forward, but pulling back with the shoulders. Such postures were undoubtedly extremely strange! It was as if some invisible line was pulling him back, but he wanted to move forward.

The black robed man’s actions were coincidentally the opposite. Jun Mo Xie’s steps were all right before he raised his leg; but his shoulders were leaning forward. Fortunately, they were not moving very quickly. Otherwise, they would look like they were barging around randomly.

The postures of the both of the were both unique, but one thing was certain. If they were moving at full speed, Jun Mo Xie would definitely fall flat on his back before long. Of course, at the moment that Jun Mo Xie lost his control, the black robed man would also end up falling on top of him, kissing him straight on the lips!

The two of them maintained that weird posture, actually even managing to chat cheerfully and jovially along the way, seemingly very pleased with themselves.

In the instant their sights crossed, the other party would gaze at their own postures, either moving half a step forward or shifting slightly backwards. They would not let the other party’s eyes land on the place they were looking at!

By the time they arrived before Tanguan Hall, the two looked as if they’d been through a tough battle. Even their foreheads were filled with sweat.

The entire journey was only a short dozen or so zhang . But secretly, they’ve already exchanged several hundred rounds of blows! Practically every lift of the foot, every wave of the hand, every step, and the slight movement of the shoulders was accompanied by an exchange of skill! The exhaustion of mental strength was extremely heavy, and from the looks of it, their exchange had not been inferior to a exhilarating battle!

Although Jun Mo Xie always maintained the initiative, he wasn’t able to gain the advantage in shifting his body’s center of gravity.

This extremely odd battle was actually the most terrifying one he’d been involved in ever since he crossed over to this world! Young Master Jun would never have imagined that there was actually someone with the same reaction speed as him, who’d cultivated the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune! Even if he merely raised his eyebrows slightly, or moved his eyes, the black robed man would always have the most appropriate counter measure. And the positions he’d concealed were all the most optimal points for Jun Mo Xie to attack!

Young Master Jun, who’d guessed the identity of the person, could not help but exclaim from the bottom of the heart. There are indeed no weaklings with a great reputation! Because he knew that he’d actually been contending with the opponent while having a big advantage! This black-clothed man, who was now equally matched with him, was carrying heavy injuries. His strength was practically running on empty! Furthermore, the wound on him was enough to kill any other average man a hundred times!

But in such a situation, he was actually able to control Jun Mo Xie perfectly!

My luck today is too great!

Although the black-clothed man’s walking posture seemed passive, he held the absolute initiative all the way in reality. The only light flaw in the entire process was just the first move by Young Master Jun, causing him to lose the initiative to Jun Mo Xie, which he never managed to regain again.

But even though he’d lost the initiative, his postures turned completely in a reactive, defensive position! Although the two looked fairly matched, to the naturally lofty black-robed man, this was an unbearable shame!

He’d actually let a little brat ride all over his head, forcing him into a reactive state all the way! Every time he wanted to take the lead and step out first, he would be disrupted by that kid’s subtle brow movements, or head movements. If he tried to seize the initiative back by force, he would have to pay a heavy price!

Bloody hell, he hadn’t come out for a few hundred years, but had the Xuan abilities of this world grown to such a shocking level? Even a hairless little brat was such a perverse monster?

Pui, even calling him a hairless brat is an overstatement. This fellow is simply a snotty-nosed rascal still reeking of his mother’s milk! But this little rascal, whether it be in strength of soul, spiritual sense, or reaction, has reached a miraculous level!

Unblinking even if heaven and hell becomes a sea of blood,

Not turning back to look even if the Nine Nethers overflows with hate!

Body transforming into the heavens and earth;

Heart roaming freely like a dragon’s pearl!

This was a realm that he’d reached only after hundreds of years of painstaking cultivation.

If there were a few more of such perversely powerful characters in this world, was there still a point of him partaking in this world? Surely this was too insane?!

The short tens of zhang distance that they’d walked so far was only a quiet exchange of skills without using any Xuan skills. However, the risks and dangers they faced were shocking! If it were a real fight, and the the cultivation of the two of them were similar, then no matter which one of them, both of them would already have died hundreds of times over!

There was an old saying that goes: silence as loud as a clap of thunder! The hidden battle they’d just engaged was an excellent example of that! Perhaps even the most striking thunder in a quiet place was less shocking than this soundless exchange!

Although the battle was fierce, the road had come to its end. In the instant they walked into the Tanguan Hall, the battle was concluded. Both sides had their some scruples, and they did not linger on the matter. Finding an empty table, they sat down across each other. The black-robed man’s face remained as expressionless as before, but the back of his robe had obviously been drenched. The previous battle, though short, had exhausted a great amount of mental energy.

Young Master Jun was even more unresigned. He placed both his hands to support his waist, rubbing them in an unrefined manner. For the entire journey, he’d been walking in a strange manner, causing him to feel as if his back were about to break… If the road had been slightly longer, and he’d continued moving in that manner, it would be a miracle if he didn’t develop any long lasting back problems!
