The Lone Walker

The world-connecting boat travels back and forth between the Three Realms and Half a Thousand Worlds, and has various connections with the Demonic Path, the Immortal Realm, and the Human World...

This trip leads to the human world. Since there are not many humans who are more than half a step away, it only takes a long time for this trip to take place. Therefore, the number of places on the ship is limited, which makes it extremely precious.

Xu Xian and the bearded man were sitting at the back, each with different thoughts. Xu Xian was still thinking about every detail of his time with Bai Suzhen. He didn't want to forget it all, but with the ruthless hammer formation, he could do nothing about it.

The bearded man was thinking that now that he had achieved success in his cultivation, he should go home to make up for his debt to his wife and children.

At this moment, Xu Xian and the bearded man looked at each other, as if they were saying their final goodbye. If they passed this ruthless hammer formation, they were afraid that they would become strangers from then on, but they didn't know what to say.

Feeling depressed and annoyed, Xu Xian happened to look half a step behind him and saw the Tongjie Boat sailing quickly in the clouds. A green figure was flying towards the Tongjie Boat at a very fast speed, but was always one step slower than it.

"Hey, big bearded man, look, it's Miss Xiaoqing..." Xu Xian's eyes were filled with hope.

"Miss Xiaoqing, why are you alone here? Where is Miss Bai?" Xu Xian shouted loudly.

"Xu Xian, my sister asked me to give this to you. Catch it?" Xiao Qing saw that she could not catch up with the speed of the Tongjie Boat, so she could only throw the umbrella in her hand to Xu Xian.

But Xu Xian was a mortal, and at such a long distance, he couldn't hear what Xiaoqing was saying, so he could only subconsciously catch the umbrella.

"Miss Xiaoqing, does Miss Bai have anything for you to bring to me?" Xu Xian took the umbrella, felt it carefully, and then asked Xiaoqing loudly.

"My sister told me to tell you that when you reach the Merciless Hammer Array, no matter who calls you, don't look back. Just keep walking forward, and you won't be hit by the Merciless Hammer?" Although Xiaoqing had finished speaking, Xu Xian still didn't hear clearly.

Chen Fan was in the void and could see clearly that since Xiaoqing appeared, the ferryman on the Tongjie Boat had somehow sped up, so Xiaoqing could not catch up.

Xiaoqing saw that the Tongjie Boat had increased its speed and that she had no chance of catching up. Thinking that she had already delivered her message, she turned around and left.

What is different from the original novel is that the bearded man, as a powerful late-stage earthly immortal, could hear it very clearly. However, after seeing the umbrella that Xiaoqing threw to Xu Xian, his face suddenly fell.

Seeing Xiaoqing leaving, Xu Xian opened the package, and saw a flash of purple light, and a dark purple umbrella appeared in front of Xu Xian.

"Why did she return my umbrella to me?" Xu Xian was a little confused at this time.

The bearded man on the side rolled his eyes and said, "Humph, you still don't understand. Umbrella means to disperse. Miss Bai's meaning is very clear."

"Impossible, that's not what she meant?? Eh? Big Beard, I didn't hear what Xiaoqing said just now. No, we have to get off the boat and ask for clarification."

Xu Xian found it hard to accept what he heard and became instantly agitated. If it weren't for the bearded man holding him down, he would have really jumped from the sky.

"Hey? Brother, we are about to reach the Merciless Hammer Formation, what are you doing?" The bearded man held Xu Xian tightly, fearing that he would do something stupid.

"No, I don't want to forget everything..."

"Isn't it better to forget it? For a mortal like you, this is nothing more than an unexpected disaster."

"No, I don't want to forget her, and I can't forget her."

"Brother, listen to my advice. Humans and demons are on different paths. It is impossible for you to be together." The bearded man also emphasized his tone at this time, which calmed Xu Xian down.

"Impossible, as long as the two of us are willing..."

"Hmph, I think you are just wishful thinking. You think it is a farewell between life and death, but she may not think so. Maybe she has already returned to the evil path and is making fun of us." In order to make Xu Xian give up this idea, the bearded man could only say what he meant. After all, monsters like Bai Suzhen are rare.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xian glared at the bearded man, which made him feel guilty. After a while, he couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Okay, stop looking at me like that. To be honest, I really heard what Miss Xiaoqing said just now. She said that as long as you don't look back, you can pass the Merciless Hammer Formation."

"What, really? I said Miss Bai would never watch me forget all this." Xu Xian calmed down completely after hearing this, and held the umbrella that Xiaoqing threw to him tightly in his hand.

"Brother, you are so mean. I gave you this precious umbrella because you are a scholar and weak. But you, forgot your loyalty for the sake of beauty and gave it to Miss Bai. It really makes me feel heartbroken?" The bearded man asked when he saw that Xu Xian was fine.

"Hehe, Big Beard, you also said it, how can a grown man carry an umbrella every day? Besides, this umbrella made of purple bat skin of the Demon Saint is also a treasure. It's better to be in Miss Bai's hands than in mine?" Xu Xian is worthy of being a scholar. He made Big Beard speechless with just two sentences.

"Hmph? Since you don't want it, just give it back to me?" As he said that, the bearded man reached out to take the umbrella, but Xu Xian grabbed it tightly. Looking at Xu Xian's embarrassed smile, the bearded man was speechless.

All of this had been heard clearly by Fahai who was at the bottom of the boat. After his Half-Step Dharma Eye was taken away, Fahai's hatred towards Bai Suzhen reached an unprecedented level. He could not help but sneer, with a look of resentment on his face, not looking like a high monk at all.

Judging from the situation, he is definitely not holding back on anything good.

……

At this moment, the Tongjie Boat suddenly shook violently, which meant that they had entered the range of the Ruthless Hammer Formation. As long as they didn't look back, they would be able to survive this disaster safely.

As soon as the people in the cabin entered the Merciless Hammer Formation, many of them heard the cries of their relatives and friends for help, each with their own cause and effect. Only Xu Xian and Big Beard sat back and did not seem to be affected at all.

In the original novel, the bearded man was once deceived by the voices of his wife and daughter and almost turned back, but at this time he had become a terrestrial immortal, so this ruthless hammer formation was not difficult for him at all.

Not far away, there was a stone wall blocking the way ahead, which was the road leading to the human world.

"Big Beard, look, we're here?" Xu Xian had been nervous all the way, and now seeing the human world so close, he couldn't help but say excitedly.

"Hey, really?"

After the hull shook for a while, it landed on the ground. A few dozen steps ahead was the entrance to the Banbudu Inn.

The ferryman rarely spoke, and said, "Everyone get off the boat, keep going straight, and you will reach your hometown."

His words seemed to have infinite magic power. Except for Xu Xian and the bearded man, everyone on the boat was hit by the ruthless hammer and could only walk towards the human world in a daze.
