Chapter 1047 The next generation is terrible
A shrill scream was faintly heard from the direction of the Wang family's ancestral home in the distance, and it sounded particularly harsh in the night wind.
Zhuge Mingkong couldn't help but be curious. He caught up with Jiang Xiaochuan and asked, "Brother Jiang, didn't Lao Liu swear that the coffin was the Yin-Locking Coffin? How come it suddenly lost its power?"
Jiang Xiaochuan continued walking, a knowing smile playing on his lips. He explained leisurely in the night, "The mystery of that coffin actually lies in the ancient Lu Ban secret technique engraved on its surface, which creates a special aura."
"And the real core is the extremely pure source of Yin energy sealed within the coffin."
"The so-called 'Locking Yin' uses this core Yin energy as an 'anchor' and utilizes the unique power of Lu Ban's technique to attract and forcibly restrain the restless main Yin energy in Lao Liu's body like a magnet, barely achieving a dangerous balance."
"What a coincidence! I was healing him just now, and I was able to dissolve these two entangled Yin energies."
"Without the anchor point, the magnetic field created by Lu Ban's technique will naturally disintegrate. The coffin is now just an ordinary coffin made of solid materials."
"I see!"
Zhuge Mingkong suddenly understood, no wonder Lao Liu cried so heartbrokenly.
With the Holy Essence Grass in hand, Zhuge Mingkong's tense nerves finally relaxed. Yawning, he naturally placed his hand on Jiang Xiaochuan's shoulder and said, "I'll take you to a place to rest. I'm counting on you to make the elixir."
Jiang Xiaochuan nodded in agreement. This was the only way for now.
Since Zhuge Mingkong had asked Zhou Zong to leave first, the two of them sped through the night and soon arrived at a quiet and secluded single-family villa.
"This is a property owned by my family, and it's also my private base where I occasionally hide away. It's absolutely safe and reliable."
Entering the villa, Zhuge Mingkong gestured to Jiang Xiaochuan to feel free while stretching his sore muscles. "I'll stay here with you tonight..."
"No need."
Interrupting Zhuge Mingkong, Jiang Xiaochuan looked around and immediately ordered them to leave. "It's awkward for two grown men to be in the same room."
"Ah,"
Zhuge Mingkong was slightly startled, then laughed and shook his head, "You guy, are you afraid that I might do something bad to you?"
He just thought Jiang Xiaochuan had some special mysophobia or liked to be alone, so he didn't insist anymore and stretched lazily. "Well, this place is completely left to you. Contact me anytime if you need anything."
After all this trouble, it was almost dawn.
Zhuge Mingkong stopped disturbing him and walked out of the villa gate accompanied by Jiang Xiaochuan.
Watching Zhuge Mingkong's figure gradually blend into the dim morning light until it disappeared, the relaxed expression on Jiang Xiaochuan's face instantly disappeared.
He turned suddenly, his gaze fixed precisely on the darkest corner on the side of the villa courtyard, and shouted in a deep voice, "You've been watching for so long, it's time to come out!"
As the words fell, the dark shadow seemed to be stunned for a moment. After a moment of silence, it rippled like water.
A figure wrapped in a tight nightgown "flowed" out silently and stood at the junction of the street light and darkness.
The man who came was slim and capable, with only a pair of deep and sharp eyes exposed on his body. He was looking at Jiang Xiaochuan through the mask.
"Such a keen sense of perception."
The man in black spoke in a hoarse voice, "I think I'm pretty good at hiding my presence. When did you notice me?"
"This question,"
Jiang Xiaochuan said calmly, "Can I choose not to answer?"
As he spoke, a barely perceptible golden light flashed in his eyes, trying to see the other party's strengths and weaknesses.
However, what he perceived was a completely unfamiliar face that he had no impression of.
He searched his memory but could not find any clues related to this person.
"Haha, of course you can."
The man in black didn't care. Instead, he chuckled twice and said, "I really don't want to disturb people's peace and quiet in the middle of the night."
"If I hadn't been asked to do this, I would have preferred to find a comfortable place to take a nap."
"Entrusted by whom?"
Jiang Xiaochuan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and the energy in his body rose slightly.
"This is it,"
The man in black's eyes flashed, and his tone became playful, "You will soon..."
Before he uttered the word "know", his body moved without any warning. His body slid in an extremely strange way, and he closed the distance of three feet between him and Jiang Xiaochuan in an instant!
At the same time, his skinny right hand flicked forward seemingly casually!
Three condensed finger winds, silent but as fast as lightning, attacked the three major acupoints on Jiang Xiaochuan's chest: Tanzhong, Jianjing, and Qihai!
The wind from the finger is gentle, yet contains the sharpness that can cut off the pulse and breath!
Jiang Xiaochuan's eyes lit up slightly, and the moment the other person's shoulder moved slightly, he already felt something!
Without any head-on confrontation, Jiang Xiaochuan's body was like catkins in the wind, and he slid back half a step as the black-clothed man blew the wind from his fingers!
"Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!"
Three streaks of wind brushed past his chest and shot into a big tree behind him.
Three bottomless, smooth-edged holes were instantly left on the tree trunk, and the leaves fell down!
The attack missed, but the man in black did not pursue him. Instead, he lightly tapped the ground with his left toe.
The whole person floated back a foot as if losing weight, and merged with the shadow again, with his breath almost invisible.
"good."
A deep, hoarse voice rang out from the shadows. "His movements, perception, and adaptability are all top-notch. Even more...perfect and insightful than many so-called masters who have been stuck in the middle Grandmaster stage for years."
Jiang Xiaochuan stood still, his gaze calmly cast towards the shadow. "You are too kind, old sir. But you... may appear to be weakened, but your inner vitality is so vibrant that even many young and strong men cannot even begin to compare."
"Oh?"
A slight surprise came from the shadows, followed by a brief silence.
After a moment, a relieved chuckle sounded: "You can even sense this? As expected... I'm getting old."
He suddenly changed the subject, his voice taking on an undeniable solemnity. "But, young man, if you don't come up with something special tonight, you might not survive."
"I do have some special things, but I wonder if your discerning eyes can truly see them."
Jiang Xiaochuan said in a deep voice.
"it is good!!"
The man in black clapped his hands, "You are indeed the young who are to be feared. Well, let me stretch these old bones a little longer and see if you, a rough diamond... are worthy enough to be entrusted to me with such solemnity by that man!"
The moment the words fell, the atmosphere around them suddenly froze!
Jiang Xiaochuan's pupils shrank slightly, and he clearly felt a terrifying pressure coming that almost exceeded the Grandmaster level!
The man in black did not show up, but the shadow twisted and expanded violently!
Countless yellow fallen leaves that were originally lying quietly on the ground rose into the air and turned into hundreds of "arrows"!
"Om-!"
The air made a low humming sound as if it was overwhelmed!
Hundreds of condensed "arrows" hovered in the shadow in front of the old man, ready to be launched.
