Chapter 1032 Saving Someone
Seeing the confused look in the eyes of the ancient martial artist before him, Old Monster Zhang recalled some previous events.
Although it wasn't the same person, it was the same words.
Why?
Why did all these people assume he had taken the Confucian treasure?
Anger surged within Old Monster Zhang. While his strength might not have been greater than the ancient martial artist before him, he couldn't bow down and beg when being pressured like this!
Old Monster Zhang made a stroke in the air with one hand, and a trace like ink shot directly towards the ancient martial artist.
Turning inner force into ink, using the heavens and earth as a canvas, and creating art in the void.
This was precisely Old Monster Zhang's proud, self-created system!
Having grown up within the Confucian system, Old Monster Zhang had a strong passion for painting and calligraphy from a young age.
After becoming a martial artist with the help of Confucian scholars, his daily activities were ranked second in importance, with painting being first.
Because of this, Old Monster Zhang's strength was not very conspicuous within the Confucian school.
When others had already become peak Grandmasters, Old Monster Zhang had only barely reached Grandmaster.
However, no one looked down on Old Monster Zhang because of this.
Because at that time, Old Monster Zhang's painting and calligraphy skills had already been recognized by many masters of the art.
If he could reach the peak of Grandmaster, the master of the art of painting and calligraphy would surely be Old Monster Zhang in the future.
But just as Old Monster Zhang was breaking through to the peak of Grandmaster, some major events occurred in the Confucian school.
A treasure of the Confucian school mysteriously disappeared!
And it was a treasure of the art of painting and calligraphy.
Old Monster Zhang's breakthrough immediately attracted the attention of many people.
In addition to studying painting and calligraphy, Old Monster Zhang had no other distractions.
Coupled with his straightforward temper, sensing the vigilance of others towards him, he immediately found the master of painting and calligraphy at the time, wanting to prove that he had not stolen the treasure of painting and calligraphy.
But in the end, the master only advised him not to worry, and that justice would be served once the matter was investigated.
Day after day… As time passed, Old Monster Zhang's accumulated anger finally erupted.
He directly crippled his peak Grandmaster inner force in front of everyone.
Since then, he withdrew from the Confucian school.
Afterward, Old Monster Zhang devoted himself to the study of painting and calligraphy, and unexpectedly blazed a path of his own.
Entering martial arts through painting and calligraphy was something even the Confucian scholars had never achieved.
The Confucian individuals who had only suspected him now became certain that Old Monster Zhang must have taken the treasure.
What the other party said was the same as what the ancient martial artist before him said…
Seeing that Old Monster Zhang, whose inner force was already scarce, dared to stand up and resist, the ancient martial artist became angry: "A mere mortal cultivator dares to fight me!"
As they fought, they were completely unaware of Chen Yang and Chen Shu hiding in the distance.
Chen Yang and Chen Shu originally planned to explore the outer areas, but they unexpectedly encountered martial artists fighting shortly after leaving.
"Neither of these two came in through the Sword Sect entrance!"
Chen Yang was very sure.
Because all the people in their group were young martial artists.
Even those who came in later, Chen Yang had met them that day.
Even if he didn't recognize them, he would definitely recognize them.
As for the other martial artist, that peculiar aura could only belong to an ancient martial artist using their cultivation technique.
Chen Shu offered a completely different idea: "Could they be natives of this space? After all, with so many monsters here, it's normal for humans to survive."
A wry smile appeared on Chen Yang's face, and he slowly shook his head: "Whether they are natives or have entered through other passages, both of these fellows are difficult to deal with."
"Look at that painting brush and ink, the qi within each stroke is fierce…"
He stopped halfway through his sentence, and Chen Yang's expression suddenly froze.
The aura of this martial artist using painting techniques seemed somewhat familiar?
However, Chen Yang couldn't recall where he had encountered this person.
Chen Shu, unaware of Chen Yang's thoughts, was also intently watching the distant battle.
Observing the fluctuations of inner force between their clashes, Chen Shu frowned: "There seems to be a problem with this painting martial artist's inner force. If this continues, he will lose."
"Should we go and save him?"
Chen Yang was taken aback by Chen Shu's question.
Save him?
He didn't know the person at all!
"We don't know either of these two people, nor do we know what grudges they have. If we intervene rashly, it will be very troublesome…"
Chen Yang's purpose for entering this space was exploration and to see if there were any opportunities.
Getting involved in such a fight for no reason was meaningless.
"Then why did you save that person before?" Chen Shu found Chen Yang's answer quite strange.
Although Chen Shu had absorbed a lot of people's memories, the more she knew, the more she felt that Chen Yang was unfathomable.
Some of the things Chen Yang did were thankless.
Just like saving the martial artist before.
Chen Yang didn't know the person at all, but to save him, Chen Yang even risked putting himself in danger.
Not to mention the consumption of elixirs.
When Chen Yang was refining elixirs, Chen Shu was always by his side. To control the output of elixirs, Chen Yang was meticulous at every step.
Chen Yang was indeed generous with the elixirs he gave to Fei Zilin and the others, but that was because they were all his own people.
But just now, Chen Yang used elixirs and his special inner force to save a stranger.
It was truly baffling to Chen Shu.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang shook his head with a bitter expression.
"That Qin Xinyang is not old. He was chosen from the sect to come here, perhaps by his own choice, or perhaps it was a deliberate arrangement."
"All of this has nothing to do with me. If it were him fighting someone else, I wouldn't have helped."
"However, Qin Xinyang was injured because his body couldn't withstand the spatial pressure."
"As a doctor, I couldn't possibly not offer help."
With these words, Chen Shu nodded as if lost in thought.
While they were talking, Old Monster Zhang was already being suppressed.
Old Monster Zhang had already expended too much inner force when entering the passage.
After being ambushed, he directly used up a trump card for survival.
During the fierce battle, his inner force was rapidly depleted.
He couldn't hold on for much longer.
Old Monster Zhang knew he would die here, but even if he ran, he couldn't escape.
Old Monster Zhang steeled himself, thinking to himself, it would be better to die here cleanly and decisively!
Since breaking through to peak Grandmaster, Old Monster Zhang had been constantly suspected.
Today, he had intended to clear his name by entering this space, but unexpectedly encountered such a situation.
