The Immortal Who Returned from the Netherworld Road – Chapter 34

Ch 34: Assassin Attack

Villa Number Nine.

Xi Yang stayed in the training room for three full days. During these three days, he was constantly immersed in comprehending Daoist Talismans. If the Spirit Gathering Array hadn’t been continuously providing Spiritual Energy, he probably would have starved into a dried corpse long ago!

Xi Yang walked out of the training room, feeling a sense of relief. But the hunger that followed was almost unbearable. So, he picked up his phone and called the innkeeper of the restaurant, ordering a lavish meal.

Then, Xi Yang ran to the bathroom with a sigh of relief, indulging in a thorough wash. He washed away the fatigue and sweat from his body, feeling the powerful strength within him.

After this cultivation session, Xi Yang not only successfully comprehended Daoist Talismans, but also increased the Spiritual Energy in his Dantian to four hundred strands. Now, even without using the Primal Beginning Blade, he believed his strength was enough to break through Wei Shan’s defense. Thinking of this, a surge of confidence welled up in Xi Yang’s heart.

After waiting for a moment, a crisp doorbell rang outside the villa. Xi Yang hurriedly pushed open the door, only to see a strange, burly man standing at the door, holding a heavy lunch box in his hand. This burly man had a smile on his face, looking at Xi Yang with gentle eyes.

“You are…?” Xi Yang asked suspiciously.

The burly man smiled and introduced himself, “Little brother, my name is Hao Chuang, and I’m the new shop assistant hired by the restaurant innkeeper!” As he spoke, he handed the lunch box in his hand to Xi Yang.

Xi Yang smiled slightly, took the lunch box, and out of an instinctive vigilance, he quickly extended his Divine Sense to carefully scan the burly man in front of him.

Then his expression changed slightly, and he said with a smile, “So that’s how it is, sorry, I was a little rude just now!”

Hao Chuang smiled and shook his head, his face full of enthusiastic smiles: “Your dinner has been delivered, I’ll leave first! Enjoy your meal!”

After saying that, he turned around and left with steady steps.

Xi Yang nodded, gently closed the door, and walked steadily towards the villa carrying the lunch box. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, but his eyes revealed a hint of imperceptible gloom.

After entering the villa, Xi Yang casually threw the lunch box into the trash can. He came to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took out a few pieces of dried beef from it, and began to chew heartily. He had asked Liu Jiazhou to help him buy these beef jerky earlier!

As Xi Yang ate, he recalled Hao Chuang’s pace, steady and powerful, with long and even breaths. Just from his pace, one could tell that this person must be a martial artist. In addition, with the twenty or so strands of Spiritual Energy condensed in his Dantian, according to the standards of this world, he could be considered a Yellow-Level Mid-Stage Martial Artist. His strength was even better than Wei Shan, whom he had encountered before.

Such a powerful figure would actually personally deliver dinner to him? Something must be amiss, Xi Yang secretly speculated, he was sure that some kind of drug had been added to this lunch box.

Xi Yang sat on the comfortable sofa, chewing the beef in his hand. He had specially bought this beef from farmers in his hometown. The old yellow cattle in the village were slaughtered and dried, with a unique taste, rich aroma, and chewy texture. After eating so much beef jerky, he barely felt a little bloated in his stomach.

Then Spiritual Energy circulated in his body, eliminating this trace of discomfort.

Before long, slight footsteps came from outside the villa. This person was not in a hurry to come in, looking around outside, as if waiting for something?

Xi Yang looked coldly outside, then fell on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

Before long, the person outside noticed that Xi Yang had fainted.

He quickly jumped in to search the villa for valuables.

After a while, the man stomped his feet hard. He cursed in his mouth, “Damn, is this unlucky kid so poor? There’s not a single valuable thing, I thought people living in villas were all nouveau riche!”

Saying that, he walked into the hall cursing, treating the villa like his own home.

He casually glanced at Xi Yang, who was feigning sleep on the sofa, and said with a hint of disdain in his eyes, “A guy worth 500,000, isn’t he just a stinky kid who hasn’t even grown up yet? I’m just a little bit better, and I’m a ceiling-level existence.”

“Is that so? You’re so confident that I’ll fall for it!” Xi Yang said with his eyes closed.

This person was Hao Chuang, who had delivered the meal just now.

Hearing Xi Yang’s voice, his expression changed drastically, and he stared at Xi Yang, “You’re okay!”

Xi Yang smiled and sat up straight. He glanced at the trash can next to him and said lightly, “You’re a Yellow-Level Martial Artist, but you ran to deliver food for no reason, I don’t have the guts to eat it!”

Hao Chuang followed his gaze to the trash can next to him, the bulging trash bag revealing a white head. He said lightly, “Kid, you’re cautious enough, you were actually seen through at a glance!”

Xi Yang replied, “There’s no way, some people just can’t stand to see others doing well!”

Hao Chuang nodded, “Today’s matter, I’m afraid you don’t want to settle it peacefully, so I’ll tell you the truth. The one who asked me to kill you is Zeng Yanhong!”

Xi Yang asked in confusion, “Why tell me?”

Hao Chuang said lightly, “It’s nothing, I just don’t like this nouveau riche!”

“Then what are you going to do? Make a move?” Xi Yang asked.

“That’s natural, after all, you’re worth 500,000!” As he said that, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Xi Yang’s expression changed slightly, this guy is extremely strong, and this burst of speed is not much slower than his own!

Then he heard the whistling of the wind in his ears, he quickly reacted, and the Primal Beginning Blade appeared in his hand, desperately blocking.

Clang clang clang, the sound of metal colliding rose and fell.

Facing Hao Chuang’s attack, Xi Yang unleashed his speed. Between flashes, jumps, and dodges, he avoided one crisis after another.

As another sound of metal collision rang out, Xi Yang seized the opportunity, took a step back and swept back, heavily sweeping his foot on his back.

Sending him flying out, crashing into the villa’s load-bearing wall, making a loud bang.

Xi Yang was secretly shocked, he already had four hundred strands of Spiritual Energy in his Dantian, and both his speed and strength had been greatly improved. But facing this guy, he still couldn’t get any advantage. If it had been three days ago, he would have been killed by this guy.

Hao Chuang shook his dizzy head and quickly stood up. He held a pair of Mandarin Duck Twin Hooks in both hands, and golden blades emitted a trace of cold light.

“Kid, you’ve got something, no wonder you’re worth 500,000!! But this kick of yours has successfully angered me, take this!” Saying that, his figure charged again.

Xi Yang held the Primal Beginning Blade, drew circles with both hands, and then swiped the blade between his fingers, and a blood arrow shot out. Then he waved the tip of the blade, and a Fire Talisman appeared out of thin air, he pointed lightly, and the Fire Talisman quickly flew towards Hao Chuang!

Hao Chuang’s expression changed drastically when he saw this. He wildly slashed with the Mandarin Duck Twin Hooks in his hands.

But the Fire Talisman was formless and had an image, gently passing through his weapon and landing on him.

Then, his body quickly burst into flames, and no matter how hard he struggled, he still couldn’t extinguish them.

Soon, Hao Chuang was burned to ashes in the fire.

Xi Yang was secretly shocked, this Daoist Talisman was indeed extraordinary, just a Fire Talisman had such power, if it was a Thunder Talisman that was more powerful than the Fire Talisman, what kind of scene would it be?

He shook his head, this kind of killing method, unless necessary, he should try not to try it!

In Hao Chuang’s ashes, the pair of Mandarin Duck Twin Hooks were still intact, and even the color had not changed, this thing was a treasure. He casually put it into his Storage Bag.
