Chapter 23

Beside the deep pit where the drunkard was sleeping stood more than a dozen men dressed in black, embroidered with snake patterns.

"Venerable Lord, this guy trespassed on our sect's land. Should we drive him away?" one of the men in black stepped forward and said.

That Venerable Lord heard this and glared at him fiercely, saying, "Are you blind? Look carefully at the sword in his hand..."

The man in black was stunned, looked at the sword in the drunkard's hand, and trembled all over.

"The Sky-Breaking Sword? He is..."

The Venerable Lord glanced at him and said coldly, "Shut up if you know, don't look for trouble for yourself!"

The man in black immediately lowered his head.

"Notify all sect members, do not approach here until he sobers up! Otherwise, if he starts a drunken rampage, no one can control him except our Sect Master!" the Venerable Lord said.

"Yes!" the man in black received the order.

On the other side, the Mount Tiandang range.

"Hmm, the sword is just an ordinary iron sword, but the sword intent remaining on it is too powerful, actually making an ordinary iron sword possess such terrifying power!" Luo Tian analyzed the rusty sword in his hand.

"Sword intent dyeing half the sky? I wonder how my sword intent is now?"

Luo Tian said, drawing his own sword, and after taking a deep breath, slashed toward the sky.

Clang!

Sword Qi erupted and soared into the sky.

Whoosh!

Amidst the howling wind, it split the clouds in the sky into two halves.

"This..."

The Five-Colored Divine Ox was completely convinced after seeing this sword strike.

If Luo Tian had used this sword strike to draw its blood earlier, it would probably be cold by now.

It seemed he really had shown mercy!

"Sigh, it's still too weak after all," Luo Tian shook his head helplessly.

"Damn!"

The Five-Colored Divine Ox muttered inwardly.

This was considered weak?

"There is still quite a bit of sword intent remaining on this rusty sword; it can probably be used three times! I'll keep it first, it might be useful in the future." Luo Tian said, putting the rusty sword into his space ring.

Just as he was about to speak with the Five-Colored Divine Ox.

Pfft!

Beneath his feet, in the lonely grave from before, a hand suddenly reached out.

"Hmm? What is that?"

Luo Tian was startled, hurriedly jumped away, and prepared to attack.

"Wait a moment, don't strike!"

At this moment, the Five-Colored Divine Ox hurriedly walked over.

Then, with a thud, it knelt before the grave.

"Mother..."

After saying this, it began to cry bitterly.

However...

"Cry for your mother's funeral? Your mother isn't dead yet!"

A woman's voice came from the grave, and then that hand parted the earth, and a person crawled out from inside.

"This is..."

Luo Tian was stunned as he looked at the woman before him.

The woman before him looked at most seventeen or eighteen years old.

However, on the woman's head grew a pair of ox horns, and a huge copper ring hung from her nose.

Connecting this with the Five-Colored Divine Ox calling her mother, this was clearly an ox demon in human form.

"Mother, it's been five hundred years, I finally see you again..." the Five-Colored Divine Ox rushed over and shouted.

However...

Bang!

The woman slapped it, and the Five-Colored Divine Ox was blown away directly.

"You still have the nerve to say that? It's been five hundred years, and you only just saved your old lady! If you were a hundred or ten years later, you would have suppressed me to death!" the woman roared.

"I'm sorry..."

The Five-Colored Divine Ox said in a low voice, looking like a small child.

"Five hundred years? Mother and son?"

Luo Tian looked at the woman and the Five-Colored Divine Ox, full of confusion.

The Five-Colored Divine Ox glanced at Luo Tian and snorted, "Alright, although you took a bottle of my divine beast blood, you also saved my mother, so we are even."

Who would have thought that before the words were finished.

Bang!

The woman slapped the Five-Colored Divine Ox away again.

"Mother, why are you hitting me again?" the Five-Colored Divine Ox said with a wronged expression.

The woman snorted, "Hit you? Hitting you is light. Someone saved your old lady, and you actually say we are even with just a bottle of divine beast blood? What, is your bottle of blood more expensive than your mother?"

The Five-Colored Divine Ox immediately felt wronged and dared not speak.

On the other side, the woman hurried to Luo Tian's side, grabbed Luo Tian's hands with both of hers, and shook them non-stop.

With snot and tears, she said, "Benefactor, I was sealed in the grave for five hundred years, I thought I would be sealed until I died!"

"I didn't expect you to take action and save me, letting me see the light of day again. This kindness and sentiment can never be repaid in this lifetime! From now on, you are my own big brother. Big brother is above, please accept a bow from your little sister!"

After saying this, she bowed her head.

"Mother, why are you kneeling to this human?" The Five-Colored Divine Ox had a face full of black lines.

However...

Bang!

The woman slapped the Five-Colored Divine Ox on the head.

"Do you know how to speak? What do you mean by human? Call him Big Uncle!"

The woman shouted.

"I..."

The Five-Colored Divine Ox just wanted to say something, but saw cold light flickering in the woman's eyes.

The Five-Colored Divine Ox was startled and immediately said unwillingly, "Big... Big Uncle."

"I..."

Luo Tian was speechless.

What kind of situation was this?

He just pulled out a sword, and he ended up with a little sister and a nephew?

And the nephew is an ox?

Moreover, this woman was sealed for over five hundred years, her actual age must be even greater.

Such a person calls him Big Brother?

"That, what exactly is your situation?" Luo Tian asked.

The woman sighed and said, "Big Brother, I have a human name, called Niu Tiechui, and my son also has a human name, called Niu Wufang."

Luo Tian's mouth twitched a few times, and he gave a thumbs up, saying, "Good names!"

These two were truly geniuses at naming.

Little Sister Tiechui continued, "Our Five-Colored Divine Ox clan originally lived in the Southern Region. When I was young, because of an incident, we fled to the Northern Region and settled in the Mount Tiandang range."

"After I came of age, I became the Demon King of this Mount Tiandang range, which was also the peak period of the demon race in Mount Tiandang. Even the royal family of the Yefeng Kingdom had to give me some face."

"However, good times didn't last long. Five hundred years ago, a drunk human Sword Immortal passed by Mount Tiandang and took a fancy to my divine beast bloodline, wanting to take me as a mount! I refused, so he casually used one sword strike to seal me in the grave, saying that unless someone could pull out this sword, I would be sealed for a thousand years."

"But Big Brother, I only have less than seven hundred years of lifespan left in total. If it weren't for you, Big Brother, saving me, I would definitely have been sealed until I died. Big Brother, you are my life-saving benefactor!" ===== CHAPTER 25 =====
