282 Advancing to the Qi Grandmaster stage! The withered old man!_3
“You’re the expert that the Cang family was talking about?”
Su Jie stared at the grey-robed old man and asked coldly.
“That’s right, I’m the withered old man.”
The grey-robed old man indifferently reported his name.
“The withered old man?”
This name surprised su Jie slightly as he had heard of this name before.
According to the information he had obtained from the heaven-ascending gate, there was some information about the withered old man.
The withered old man was ranked 79th on the earth list more than ten years ago. His identity was mysterious, and he was ruthless. He would dig out the hearts and lungs of his enemies without saying a word, which was extremely frightening. However, he was extremely powerful and his whereabouts were secretive! Not many people could do anything to him!
The experts on the earth list were the top experts in the blood Qi realm. Gao xiongying, who had been killed by su Jie, was ranked in the top 100 on the earth list. The withered old man was ranked above Gao xiongying.
It was no wonder that even with the strength of the Cang family, they had to rely on numbers to force them to retreat.
Seeing su Jie’s shocked expression, the withered old man’s mouth curled up. since you know who I am, there’s no need to waste your breath. Previously, the Cang family had a conflict with the ghost general of the Black House Mountain, and the ghost general died. I tested the strength of the Cang family, and they shouldn’t have the ability to do so. The moment the head of the Cang family came to heaven martial city, he immediately met you. Who killed the ghost general?”
The withered old man’s question made a strange expression appear on su Jie’s face.
The Cang family had indeed gotten into trouble because of ghost hunter. Ghost hunter was the general of ghost city on black house Mountain and commanded many ghost soldiers. Moreover, there was an array in ghost city. Su Jie guessed that ghost hunter was probably connected to some other forces.
After the demon ghost died, the ghost city became an empty city. The withered old man came to investigate the demon ghost. He first went to the Cang family, but after fighting with the experts of the Cang family, he found that the Cang family had some strength, but it shouldn’t be enough to destroy the demon ghost.
The Cang family was worried that they would be attacked again, so they went to the nearest heaven martial city to take refuge. The withered old man secretly observed, and in the end, Cang Feng went to the heaven martial Union. He was about to inform the heaven martial Union when he met su Jie.
Cang Feng’s attitude towards su Jie was very respectful, and he even invited su Jie to the Cang family’s Manor for a discussion. This made the withered old man set his eyes on su Jie, thinking that su Jie might be an insider.
However, what surprised the withered old man was that his concealment technique was so powerful that su Jie could also feel his spying and was very bold to leave the city alone.
Although the withered old man was suspicious and didn’t know why Su Jie was so fearless, he couldn’t be a coward and hide when su Jie provoked him. Therefore, he showed up and interrogated su Jie about the demon ghost.
“Ghost hunter? The ghost general Army of the ghost city? Of course I know about him.” Su Jie said with a deeper meaning.
“Speak! Who killed ghost hunter? Whose hands did his ghost crystal fall into? If you dare to hide or deceive me, not only will you die! This old man will also find your family and friends, dig out their hearts and lungs, tear their bones and skin them, and bury them with you!”
The withered old man immediately asked. f𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.co𝓶
Previously, the withered old man had gone to the Black House Mountain at a specific time to find the ghost general and make a deal with him. However, he had seen no ghost in the ghost city, so he knew that the ghost general had most likely died.
After some investigation, he found out about the matter regarding the eldest miss of the Cang family in Cang Xuan city. He knew that this matter was definitely related to the Cang family. The most important thing was to get back the ghost crystal from the ghost general!
“Ghost crystal?” Su Jie’s heart moved. He thought of the ghost hunter’s body that had disappeared after he had killed it. It had left behind a crystal of unknown use. It should be the ghost crystal that the withered old man had mentioned. It seemed to be some kind of treasure that made the withered old man very eager to get it and retrieve it.
However, the withered old man’s threat made su Jie’s killing intent rise. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he stared at the withered old man and said, ” “There’s no harm in telling you. I killed ghost hunter, and now you’re going to die too, Jian Jia!”
“What?” The withered old man was stunned. Su Jie looked too young, at most 20 years old. He only thought that su Jie was an insider, but he didn’t associate him with the person who killed ghost hunter.
“BOOM!”
As soon as he finished speaking, su Jie took a step forward. His body seemed to have forcefully torn the space apart and crossed a distance of several feet. His right fist carried a heavy force and compressed the air to the point that it exploded. He then punched towards the withered old man.
The withered old man was here to investigate the cause of ghost Hunter’s death and to find the ghost crystal. He was an enemy and not a friend. Since he wanted to kill su Jie’s family, all su Jie could do was to kill him on the spot!
“What?”
The withered old man’s expression changed slightly. Su Jie’s sudden punch was terrifyingly powerful. Before it even touched him, his cheek was already scratched by a strong wind, and it hurt. The air was compressed into a vacuum, and it became difficult to breathe!
The withered old man did not dare to be careless. He exhaled and shouted. True Qi gathered in his skinny right arm and he gathered his strength. He struck out with his palm to meet su Jie’s heavy punch.
“Bang!”
The fist and palm collided, and a violent explosion rang out. The impact caused the surrounding leaves to dance and turn into dust.
The withered old man groaned as he felt a powerful force hit him. His feet were off the ground, and he was sent flying uncontrollably. He crashed into a big tree behind him, breaking it and collapsing it. Wood chips flew in all directions, and he finally stopped his retreat.
“How is it possible? Just a simple punch and it’s already so powerful?” The withered old man’s right arm went numb. He widened his eyes in disbelief.
