Misguided practice of sinister cultivation techniques: Slander! The problem lies with you all, not me!-Chapter 20 - Is This Big Medicine Too Extreme?

The lightning had vanished, and the surroundings once again became obscure and dim.

Five figures in red, their heads riddled with holes and thin Iron Flutes inserted, stood stock-still, indistinguishable whether human or ghost. In this stormy night, they appeared utterly terrifying.

Having encountered the fairy of Red House and the bear guarding the treasure, Duan Yun considered himself rather brave, yet the scene tonight still filled him with dread.

Fear of the unknown.

For he couldn't be sure whether these figures were actually human.

What a world of "surprises" this is.

Yes, who knows when these five "Teletubbies" arrived; if it weren't for that dazzling lightning, perhaps no one would have noticed them in the wild grass.

They seemed as if they had always been there, unchanging through the ages, just like those weathered, forsaken statues along the road.

With a boom, another bolt of lightning struck.

The caravan had started to show signs of chaos, as the once stationary figures in red from the grass had now moved to the roadside.

They moved!

Judging by their postures, they hardly resembled people, but rather some kind of crawling reptilian creatures.

The lightning cast their rough faces and those dark holes on their scalps into sharp relief, enough to make one's skin crawl.

Seeing these strange people draw near, the members of the caravan had retreated towards Duan Yun.

Then, suddenly, the caravan stopped, for these five had engaged in bizarre climbing again, moving at high speed, and had arrived in the space between Duan Yun and the caravan.

That is to say, they had blocked the road.

At this point, Duan Yun also couldn't help feeling tense, as these five were even closer to him now.

The lame grey donkey edged backwards, looking terrified as though it had seen a ghost.

Duan Yun stared intently at these five "Teletubbies." In the faint light of the night, he could only make out the silhouettes of their bodies with "antennas" on their heads.

During this time, the five figures stopped moving again, using the small Iron Flutes atop their heads to point at the sky, murmuring to themselves.

Duan Yun even suspected they were casting a spell on him, and so, in silence, he extended his sword finger, thinking it best to strike first.

Just then, a sound of light footsteps approached.

"Take care, young man. Don't provoke them; they are madmen from the Thunder God and Mother Sect."

Duan Yun turned around and saw two robust men.

At a glance, it was clear they were twin brothers, identical in appearance, with beards and short jackets on, giving off a trustworthy vibe.

Indeed, upon seeing these two men, Duan Yun couldn't help but think of the hearty heroes of the Martial World.

Duan Yun asked with confusion, "Thunder God and Mother Sect?"

Thunder God and Mother? What an odd sounding name.

"Don't act recklessly; they are Thunder Listening. Once the thunder fades, they will leave," said the man on the left, sipping his drink as he spoke.

Duan Yun had not expected that these people, with their heads full of deep holes and fine Iron Flutes inserted, were actually listening to thunder.

Thunder Listening?

What a bizarre and peculiar hobby.

With the presence of these two knowledgeable men, Duan Yun felt less panicked.

The caravan people had also noticed the presence of these twin heroes and stealthily moved closer.

These twin brothers were none other than the renowned Medicine Cultivators, Hua Wen and Hua Wu.

Their reputation as wandering heroes with trustworthy faces had contributed to their success in cultivating Big Medicine.

They had followed the scent to harvest Duan Yun's Big Medicine, and unexpectedly encountered the people from the Thunder God and Mother Sect.

They didn't want Big Medicine to meet with any accidents, so they "kindly" warned Duan Yun.

Boom! A peel of thunder crashed down. This time, being closer, Duan Yun could even see the Iron Flutes atop the heads of the Thunder God and Mother Sect members vibrating.

The sight gave him a headache.

All of a sudden, one of the sect members moved, his Iron Flute quivering as he raved, "I've had a revelation!"

He himself was as skinny as a bag of bones, and now with bloodshot eyes, he appeared like a frenzied Skinny monkey, especially eerie to behold.

Duan Yun couldn't help but take two steps back, intending to shield everyone in front of him, only to find they retreated faster than he did, so he ended up still leading the way.

"Skinny," with a maniacal look on his face, suddenly turned and fixed his bloodshot eyes upon them.

At that moment, everyone's scalp tingled.

"I've had an epiphany!"

"I've had an epiphany!"

"Ha ha ha ha! I'll use you lot to test my skills!"

Saying so, he got down on all fours and scurried over like a lizard.

The scene had an intense impact, resembling a ghoul leaping out in a horror movie.

Just as he was approaching Duan Yun and the others, a bolt of lightning emerged from "Skinny's" hand, forming the shape of a whip.

Skinny cackled wildly, about to lash at Duan Yun with the whip!

But the next instant, his body shuddered, and the Thunder Whip in his hand went limp, failing to strike.

It was because a beam of silvery-white sword light had pierced through his skull.

Duan Yun held his sword finger, his face tense.

"Skinny's" face showed a hint of astonishment, and right then, he lifted his right hand again, attempting another lash.

Swoosh! Another blade of sword light pierced through the center of his brows, and his body shook again.

He tried to move again, but two more frosty sword lights came piercing through.

In the blink of an eye, "Skinny" had four bloody holes through his head, looking exceptionally horrifying.

What caused Duan Yun to sweat was, this guy wasn't dead yet, still struggling to whip him.

Swoosh! Duan Yun unleashed his sword finger again.

This time, the sword light shot directly through the opponent's chest.

At this point, "Skinny" finally began to stagger.

With a face of shock and fury, he uttered, "Damn it!" before thudding to the ground.

Dead.

"Skinny" had immersed himself in the sounds of the Thunder God and Mother Sect for nearly a decade, and finally had his enlightenment tonight, realizing a miraculous Thunder Whip technique.

Overjoyed, he merely wanted to whip a few people to death to test his method, just for some fun.

Yet, this whip, he never got to unleash it before he died.

That was more painful than death itself!

So, he died.

His eyes wide open with rancor!

The surroundings suddenly returned to silence, with only the rumbling thunder remaining.

The change was so abrupt and sudden, not to mention the merchant caravan folks, even the Medicine Cultivators Hua Wen and Hua Wu were startled.

How could this Hero using the sword finger be so ferocious?

Even more ferocious than them!

Duan Yun then looked over and asked, "I didn't do anything. Why did this person suddenly turn violent?"

Hua Wu swallowed hard and explained, "These strange people, when they get too absorbed in listening to thunder, they go mad and attack. Otherwise, they wouldn't be called 'Thunder Maniacs.'"

"Is that so?"

At that moment, two of the sitting Thunder Maniacs suddenly stood up.

Without another word, Duan Yun raised his hand and pointed four sword fingers at the four Thunder Maniacs.

Four beams of sword light accurately pierced through the hearts of the four Thunder Maniacs from the Thunder God and Mother Sect, and they fell back dead.

Duan Yun looked at the five fresh corpses and took a long breath of relief.

Alright, there's no fear of them going crazy suddenly.

That really scared the hell out of me just now!

Seeing this, the Medicine Cultivators Hua Wen and Hua Wu couldn't help but have their hairs stand on end, their temples throbbing.

Isn't this Hero of theirs a bit too extreme?
