Chapter 11 Liquidation of Cause and Effect
With the flash of swords and the shadow of sabers, three figures were fighting fiercely in the forest. The clanging sounds were endless and sparks were flying everywhere.
Gu Chi attacked left and right with two swords in hand, and he was not at a disadvantage even when he was alone against two. Every time he swung his sword, the arms of the man in green and the short man became numb and their knuckles hurt.
"Take your life!"
Gu Chi took a step forward, and the ground beneath her feet cracked. She held her sword horizontally to block the attack of the man in green, pushing him back several meters, and then attacked the short man.
"Brother, save me——"
The scream stopped abruptly the next second. Two cold lights flashed, blood gushed out like a fountain, the short man's head shot up into the sky, and the headless body fell into a pool of blood with a thud.
"Fifth Junior Brother!" The man in green was shocked and angry, his eyes were bloodshot, and he held the sword tightly in his hand.
Gu Chi did not stop. He took a sudden step, used the force to fly into the air, and chopped down the two swords in his hands. The man in green subconsciously held his sword horizontally to block, but in the face of absolute strength, all defenses were useless.
The two swords slashed down with a tremendous force. The man in green clothes no longer had the calmness he had before. His whole face became distorted and hideous, and he let out a roar like an angry roar.
His sword was cracking and about to break into pieces, and there were constant cracking sounds of broken bones coming from all over his body.
“Let…let me go…”
"Have you ever heard the saying, 'To be kind to your enemy is to be cruel to yourself?'"
With a "crack", the long sword in the green-shirted man's hand broke into pieces. Cuoyu Cutting was as powerful as a bamboo unraveling. One knife slashed down diagonally from his left shoulder, and the other knife turned and slashed across his neck.
The man in green clothes knelt on the ground with resentment and fell into a pool of blood.
On the other side, the big black dog saw that Gu Chi had finished the fight, and began to show his power. With a violent collision, he knocked the young woman into the air, and then with a black tiger heart-piercing move, he ended the fight cleanly and neatly.
"Old Black! Get to work!"
"Wang!"
The man and the dog quickly cleaned up the traces of the fight at the scene, destroyed the bodies, and finally even scattered the ashes of the three people into the lake.
After doing all this, the rain stopped, but Gu Chi was still feeling angry and had no place to vent. She and the big black dog hid in the deep mountains and forests and lived a peaceful life. When she had free time, she would collect the bodies of those who came into the mountains to collect herbs and bury them.
Yet, the outside world insists on labeling them as evil, bloodthirsty, and brutal monsters, even going so far as to come and kill us. What kind of a deal is this?!
After returning to his residence, Gu Chi began to think seriously and felt that it was time to move to another place.
"Old Black, our residence isn't very well hidden. If someone came to our door this time, there will definitely be another time. We can't stay here any longer."
The big black dog naturally had no objection and said, "I'll listen to Sister Gu Chi."
The next day, Gu Chi wiped out all traces of their life here for more than ten years, carried all the equipment in large and small bags on his back, and walked out of Panlong Mountains with the big black dog.
At the foot of the mountain, there were not only common people preparing to go into the mountains to collect herbs, but also officers and soldiers sent by the government and knights from the martial arts world, all of whom were discussing topics such as ferocious vicious dogs and beautiful female monsters.
"Old man, what happened on the mountain? Why are people talking about monsters and the like?" Gu Chi found an old man who looked kind and asked with a smile.
The old man looked Gu Chi up and down and said, "You seem to be a man of the world, how come you don't even know about these things in the Panlong Mountains?"
Gu Chi has a slender and upright figure, wearing a white dress, a light gauze hat on her head, and a tight wrist band. She looks capable yet gentle. At first glance, she really has the style of a female knight in the martial arts world.
Gu Chi touched his nose, coughed lightly and said, "I just came out of seclusion recently, and I don't know much about the outside world. Please tell me about it, old man."
A middle-aged man with a full beard came over and shouted, "Lady, you don't know, the Panlong Mountains have been very unstable in recent years. I don't know where this female monster came from. She only preys on strong and healthy men. Many people have been killed in the mountains!"
Someone nearby chimed in, "I heard this female demon is incredibly ugly and terrifying, but she often transforms into a charming and alluring woman to seduce strong men who venture into the mountains. Once she's lured them to her side, she reappears in her true form and devours them whole!"
"This monster has a vicious dog under its wing, and its methods are even more brutal and cruel. It doesn't eat people alive, but rather skins them, draws out their bones, drinks their blood, and eats their marrow!"
At first, Gu Chi was still wondering if there really was such a monster in Panlong Mountain Range? Why had she and Big Black Dog never encountered one in all the years they had lived there?
But when she heard the words "There's a vicious dog under the female monster's seat," she was suddenly shocked. Could these female monster and vicious dog be referring to her and the big black dog?!
She didn't know how these false stories came to be known. It was totally baffling.
"Could it be that Big Black Dog and I were collecting the bodies of those victims and burying them, and someone happened to see us from afar, and that's why all these misunderstandings happened?"
Gu Chi thought about it and felt that this was the only possibility that could explain it clearly.
"Lady, please don't take the risk of going up the mountain. It wouldn't be worth it if you risk your life."
"Don't worry, I cherish my life very much." Gu Chi smiled.
She had no intention of explaining to these people, nor could she explain clearly, as people would only believe what they believed.
When everyone said that there were monsters and evil dogs in the Panlong Mountains, then there must be such things, and no one would believe her one-sided story.
After thinking for a while, Gu Chi said, "Please tell the others that since it's a monster, it's not something that ordinary people like us can deal with. Let's try to contact immortal cultivators to deal with it. There's no need to make unnecessary sacrifices."
Having said this, Gu Chi left with the big black dog.
The "female monster" and the "evil dog" are no longer in the Panlong Mountains, but the ferocious birds and beasts on the mountain are enough to give these chivalrous men a hard time.
Anyway, those who needed to be persuaded have been persuaded. If these people still insisted on going up to die, it had nothing to do with her.
"Lao Hei, with our current combat power, we can basically walk sideways in the mortal world. It's time to settle some causes and effects. What do you think?" Gu Chi looked up at the distant sky.
The big black dog naturally knew what Gu Chi meant.
Lin!
The darkest moment in its and Gu Chi's life until now was the time when they were on the run and hunted by a cultivator from the Lin family because they had offended them. The experience was still thrilling when they recalled it.
"As the saying goes, revenge is never too late! We've been holding this grudge for twenty years, and it's time to vent it. What do you think, Old Black?"
"Sister Gu Chi is right!"
Three months later, on a small hill outside Tingfeng Town.
A man and a dog were lying there covered in dust. Gu Chi held a scallion pancake in his hand, took a bite out viciously, and then handed it to the big black dog.
After more than a month of surveillance and investigation, they had basically figured out the situation of the Lin family.
Several cultivators from the Lin family haven't been back for a long time, and the last time was five years ago.
At this time, the head of the Lin family was already eighty years old. Even though he was a martial artist with great martial arts skills when he was young, at this age, Gu Chi could easily knock him down with just one finger.
As for other people, Gu Chi didn't even take them seriously. Basically, no one could pose a threat to her.
When the moon was dark and the wind was strong, Gu Chi and the big black dog put on green ghost masks. The two figures stood on the hillside, looking as if they were looking down on the world.
"Let's go dig up the Lin family's ancestral tomb first. Let's be tomb raiders today!"
A man and a dog came to the Lin family cemetery. Under the cold moonlight, on the rows of small earthen slopes, there were faint blue flames floating, making the place look gloomy and eerie.
"It's just phosphorescence. It won't scare me!"
Gu Chi threw the heavy backpack to the ground and took out a shovel, hoe and other tools from it.
"Old Black! Don't let any of them go, dig them for me!"
"Ouch~"
The big black dog howled excitedly, digging with its two paws frantically. Gu Chi went straight to a big tomb in the middle of the cemetery.
"The Tomb of the Ancestor Lin Bei? You old bastard! Not only did you give birth to a bunch of scum who exploited the people in your community, but you even used a pun on their name. Fuck you!"
Gu Chi kicked the tombstone over and smashed it, feeling so happy!
"Lin Bei, right? You old bastard, you're still trying to take advantage of me even after you're dead! I'll let you take advantage of me!"
Gu Chi cursed and swung his hoe until it was almost smoking, stirring up countless yellow earth until the coffin appeared. He kicked the coffin lid off with another kick.
"Gululu"
A skull rolled to her feet. A gust of cold wind blew by, and Gu Chi actually heard a low humming sound, and instantly stopped what she was doing.
The big black dog on the other side was also stunned, looking at Gu Chi with horror.
"Lao Hei, did you hear it too?" Gu Chi's eyelids twitched.
The big black dog nodded blankly.
"..."
"Damn it, run!!!"
The man and the dog dropped their hoes and ran away as if their butts were on fire.
Not long after, on the Lin family's field, a big black dog growled and plowed the land madly, and wherever it passed, the soil flew everywhere like a mad bull, venting its anger towards the Lin family.
Nearly fifty acres of land were completely destroyed in just half an hour. Everywhere they looked was a mess. The man and the dog looked at their masterpiece, and it seemed as if a breath of foul air in their hearts was dissipated, making them feel much more comfortable.
In the second half of the night, the main event begins.
Gu Chi brought the big black dog directly into the Lin family, smashing and destroying everything.
"Who the hell is destroying the house?"
"Who is the offender?!"
There were shouts of shock and curses everywhere, and then a large group of people rushed out from various houses with weapons in hand.
"I am your great-grandmother!"
Gu Chi was holding a bucket of tung oil in his hand and pouring it on various houses of the Lin family.
"Who the hell are you? How dare you come to our Lin family and act like a wild beast?"
"Damn it! Is the Lin family so great? Not only do we want to act wild, we also want to pee! Lao Hei will pee for them to see!"
"Ow?"
The big black dog was stunned. Asking it to relieve itself in front of so many people, wasn't that a bit too much to ask?
"Damn Lin family! It's cold, let me warm you up!"
Gu Chi shook his hand and threw the oil barrel aside. A stone bounced off his toes and broke an oil lamp hanging on the wall. In an instant, flames shot up into the sky.
The fire was fueled by the wind, and the wind helped fuel the fire. The fire quickly spread from the kitchen to several other houses around.
The Lin family was suddenly in chaos, with women crying and men cursing. Soon, someone holding a shining sword rushed towards Gu Chi to kill him.
Gu Chi knocked down a large group of people with one slap, then sat on one of them and punched him in the face, controlling the strength so as not to kill him outright.
"I let you run amok in Tingfeng Town, I let you bully men and women... I let you set fire to my coffin shop!"
The middle-aged man was hit by so many punches that he started bleeding from his mouth and nose. His entire face collapsed, his nose was crooked, his eyes were slanted, and dozens of his teeth were broken and fallen out.
"Please spare me, lady! I'm just a newly recruited son-in-law. The Lin family's affairs have nothing to do with me. Please spare me, lady!!"
"Bullshit! You live in the Lin family's house, eat their rice, and spend their money. How can it have nothing to do with you? Do you understand what it means when the nest is overturned, no one is left unbroken? I'll beat you to death, you son of a bitch!"
The head of the Lin family walked out with a cane. Looking at the fire everywhere, he almost fainted on the spot. He was being robbed!
"Stop it all!"
The Lin family's patriarch tapped his cane hard.
"Awooo!" The big black dog suddenly jumped out and kicked his crutch, breaking it into two pieces.
"Old thing, twenty years ago you burned down my coffin shop and sent an immortal cultivator to hunt me down. Now I'm here to settle the cause and effect with you!" Gu Chi walked forward step by step with an extremely cold tone.
"Twenty years ago?!"
The head of the Lin family was shocked because Gu Chi was wearing a green ghost mask on his face. He did not recognize him directly until he heard Gu Chi take the initiative to mention the past, and the big black dog, he finally realized it.
The Lin family's patriarch was shocked and angry. He raised his hand and pointed at Gu Chi, gritting his teeth and saying, "So it's you, you bitch!"
"Snapped"
A loud slap was heard, and the only big yellow tooth left in the mouth of the head of the Lin family was knocked out on the spot.
The Lin family's patriarch was stunned for several seconds, then covered his face and burst into tears, shouting, "He's hitting someone! He's hitting an old man!"
Gu Chi originally wanted to wipe out the entire Lin family, but when it came to this, with so many lives at stake, including the elderly and children, how could she bear to do that?
"Old man, don't let me see or hear your Lin family abusing their power in Tingfeng Town again, otherwise your Lin family will be extinct!" Gu Chi pointed at the nose of the head of the Lin family and threatened in a cold voice.
She couldn't bear to do it now, but she couldn't say for sure about it in the future.
"Old Black, let's go!"
Gu Chi left a harsh remark, turned around and walked away with the big black dog without looking back. In the light of the fire everywhere, he left behind a dashing back view.
The most outrageous and unbearable thing was that when the big black dog left, it actually left a pile of extremely smelly dog shit in front of the Lin family’s gate!
It is not harmful but extremely insulting!
The head of the Lin family was so angry that his whole body was shaking. If he could be twenty years younger, he would definitely cut this man and this dog into pieces!
