Gentle Sleep Instructor
Chapter 1519 Benefactor
"What's going on?"
The sudden surge also tossed the fatty this way and that. The once calm lake had suddenly changed its appearance, with surging waves coming one after another.
The key was that there was no wind. There was no wind on the lake, yet waves rose out of nowhere, which was obviously wrong.
But what the fatty couldn't understand was that the greatest enemy, the chairman, had already been killed by them, so Old Master Shui should be in charge of this world. How could this be happening...?
The next second, the fatty's pupils slowly constricted. He looked around and realized that Old Master Shui, the master of this world... was actually gone!
The spot where Old Master Shui had been standing was now empty.
The lake was shrouded in mist, with no end in sight. A cold and grim atmosphere suppressed everyone's heart. The fatty slowly realized that all of this was Old Master Shui's doing. The old bastard was actually attacking them!
Wu drew his blade and plunged it into the bow of the boat, instantly stabilizing the small craft. At the same time, a chill spread out along the blade. In a short time, a layer of ice actually formed on the lake around the boat.
A human figure gradually appeared in the distant mist. It was Old Master Shui! But now Old Master Shui had a gloomy face and was staring at them coldly.
"Senior, have we offended you in any way?" Jiang Cheng cupped his fist, still polite in his words. He didn't want to be enemies with Old Master Shui, and besides, they were now a tired force, fearing they had no strength to fight again.
Wu Yingying stood firmly by Jiang Cheng's side, her pretty face filled with anger. "Don't waste words with him. He's after something on you. What a mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind." Wu Yingying was furious with Old Master Shui's backstabbing behavior. Her combat power was greatly reduced now, Old Master Shui really knew how to pick his timing.
Unexpectedly, Old Master Shui slowly shook his head, his expression more serious than ever. "Little Jiang, and little girl, you helped me, and I remember that favor. As long as you don't interfere today, I won't make things difficult for you. After this is over, I will personally send you away."
The fatty couldn't understand. If he wasn't after the doctor, then what was Old Master Shui going crazy about? Could it be...?
"He's looking for me." Wu jumped off the boat and walked towards Old Master Shui step by step along the ice.
Seeing Wu take the initiative to jump out, the anger in Old Master Shui's eyes became clearer. "For the sake of fighting together before, I didn't launch a heavy sneak attack on you. Let's have an honorable fight, no victory or defeat, only life or death."
"Sneak attacks wouldn't work anyway. I was already prepared for you." Wu rarely spoke, and even Jiang Cheng found his voice unfamiliar. "But I want to know, why? Are you after something on me, or... have you seen me before?"
Hearing this, Old Master Shui seemed to be stimulated, and the suppressed anger instantly rose up, dispersing the surrounding mist with powerful pressure. "I want revenge! You killed my benefactor, and I want to use your life to pay tribute to him!"
"Benefactor..."
Now it was Jiang Cheng and the others' turn to not understand. But Jiang Cheng quickly reacted. Not long ago, the chairman had said such a strange thing, mocking Old Master Shui for claiming righteousness but not even avenging his benefactor. At the time, the situation was urgent, and Jiang Cheng didn't think much about it, but he didn't expect that this sentence was actually directed at Wu.
Thinking about it carefully, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but sigh at the chairman's methods. He originally thought that turning Dahe Niangniang against them was the killing move, but now it seemed that he had underestimated the chairman. Old Master Shui was actually the last card.
Ignoring Wu Yingying's obstruction, Jiang Cheng shouted at Old Master Shui, "Senior, there must be some misunderstanding. Don't fall for the chairman's trick!"
Old Master Shui had also mentioned before that when he was besieged by the chairman and his group many years ago, someone had stepped in to save him. Not only did that person save him, but he also almost killed the chairman. If there were no accidents, the benefactor Old Master Shui spoke of was this person.
But what Jiang Cheng couldn't understand was that someone with this level of ability must be a legendary figure, and among the people Wu had killed, there didn't seem to be such a powerful existence. The few weirdos tied together were no match for the chairman either.
But then, Jiang Cheng paused. He suddenly thought of someone, a truly legendary figure.
"Xia Tan!" Jiang Cheng suddenly realized that Xia Tan's door was also on Wu, and with Xia Tan's strength and stance, he could definitely kill the Night Watcher chairman.
Hearing this name, Old Master Shui's face became even gloomier. "So it really is you..."
"No, no, old thing, listen to our explanation, this is all a misunderstanding!"
The fatty was also anxious. He naturally knew about Xia Tan. Xia Tan's door was given by Lin Wan'er and the others, and the real murderer who killed Xia Tan was this bus, or rather, the Night Watchers.
But Old Master Shui, who was currently in a rage, obviously couldn't wait. He would remember the kindness of others for a thousand years. Xia Tan had saved his life back then, and now the aura of his benefactor was appearing on Wu. In Old Master Shui's eyes, this was too obvious. Wu killed Xia Tan and seized his door.
Although Old Master Shui didn't know how Wu had done it, the result was like this!
"You are no match for my benefactor, and even all of you together are not. You must have used some treacherous scheme!" Old Master Shui became even more frantic, and his eyes were covered with a layer of blood as he looked at Wu. "Despicable villain!"
Seemingly disliking Jiang Cheng and the others for being too noisy, Old Master Shui waved his hand, and a barrier enveloped Jiang Cheng and the others, isolating their voices as well.
Although he knew the truth, Wu's personality meant he was unwilling to explain. He stretched out his hand, and the demon blade that had long been connected to his mind instantly flew back. With the blade in hand, Wu's aura rose steadily.
The old chairman had seriously injured himself and Old Master Shui with just one strike, and the difference in strength was shocking, so he now urgently needed to improve his strength to cope with the upcoming war. Only by mastering enough power could he protect the friends he wanted to protect.
Since Old Master Shui had struck first, then... then he also wanted the door on Old Master Shui!
Faced with the aura emanating from Wu, Old Master Shui didn't dare to be careless, but he still had to say what needed to be said. "Although I definitely won't let you go, I keep my word and won't harm those people below. No matter how today's battle goes, I will let them leave."
Wu slowly clenched the hilt of his blade, and wind and snow swirled on the lake. "There's no need. After killing you, I will naturally take them away."
As soon as he finished speaking, two figures, one black and one green, moved at the same time, so fast that only afterimages could be vaguely seen. The two forces collided together, exchanging dozens of moves in an instant.
Countless vines emerged from the water, breaking through the ice and strangling towards Wu. But within the range of the wind and snow, the speed of the vines was greatly reduced. The bright blade light shattered the vines, and the dark green juice splashed out, corroding holes in the ice.
