Chapter 457: I Am a Martial Sect Expert

The black shadow seemed to have been injured; it let out a shriek and retreated, then circled around vigilantly at a distance, seemingly somewhat fearful.

Huang Yu's face was deathly pale; this string of Buddhist Beads was a family heirloom of their Huang Clan, and he would always wear it whenever he entered a tomb.

These Buddhist Beads were not simply blessed by a high monk; just as Chen Yu said, they were tightly connected to the destiny of their Huang Clan.

Now that the Buddhist Beads were broken, Huang Yu suddenly felt a panic in his heart; he hurriedly crouched down and picked up the beads one by one.

"Leave quickly," Huang Yu said, putting away the Horn and speaking viciously, "Leave these people here."

"What do you think you're doing, Huang Yu?" Zhang Desheng shouted, "You want to leave us here?"

"Stand still." A gun appeared in Huang Yu's hand, and he sneered, "All of you know too many secrets. Do you know? Someone is offering a sky-high price to buy this Horn."

"Only the dead can keep secrets, so all of you can only stay here."

"Brother Yu, I—we are alumni, will you take me out, please? I promise I absolutely won't leak any secrets." Li Li was also somewhat afraid, but she soon calmed down.

She believed she had a good relationship with Huang Yu, and on the road, she had often stood up to Chen Yu on Huang Yu's behalf; Huang Yu would surely not abandon her.

"You shut up too." The gun pointed at Li Li's head, and Huang Yu sneered, "Do you really not consider yourself an outsider?"

"Brother Yu, what are you doing? We are classmates, we are alumni, our relationship is so good, don't leave me behind, take me out, okay?" Li Li was on the verge of tears from fright.

"Li Li, I know what kind of wishful thinking you're playing at; you want to be my girlfriend, right?" Huang Yu laughed, "My Huang Family has plenty of money; as long as I beckon, many women line up to crawl into my bed."

"You, someone who came from the countryside with no upbringing, what makes you think you can climb the social ladder just by relying on a face?"

Li Li stopped talking; she retreated, sobbing.

"Kill them, lower the Duanmen Stone." Huang Yu sneered, turned around, and walked out.

"Kid, you're quite good at fighting." Wu Er sneered, the gun in his hand pointing at Chen Yu, "No matter how capable you are, can you be faster than the gun in my hand?"

This guy Wu Er was an accomplice who had been thoroughly dealt with by Chen Yu, and he had been holding back his anger until now.

He tilted his head and said, "How many shots do you think it would take for me to kill you with my marksmanship?"

"Do you really think you have the upper hand?" Chen Yu laughed.

"Isn't that the case?" Wu Er sneered, "No man I've taken a fancy to has ever dared to refuse me, but it's a pity, there's no time today; you all can just wait for death in here."

"Lao Er, why waste words with them? Finish them." Wu Da raised the gun in his hand, ready to act.

Suddenly, Chen Yu moved; he flipped his right hand, and three Silver Needles surged toward them with a faint sound of breaking air.

*Puff, puff*, a bloody hole appeared on Wu San's forehead, and he collapsed with a look of horror.

Meanwhile, Wu Er's right hand shook, and the gun in his hand fell to the ground involuntarily.

"Go." Wu Da, who had extraordinary agility, threw himself onto the ground, dodged the Silver Needles in Chen Yu's hand, then grabbed the stunned Wu Er and bolted out of the tomb chamber.

At the same time, he kicked a mechanism button on the wall outside the door; *rumble*, the stone door slowly closed again.

The mechanism on the giant eyes of the human figurines inside could only be used once, meaning there was only one chance to open the stone door from the inside; if the Duanmen Stone closed again, the people inside would never be able to get out.

Chen Yu flicked his right hand, and his blade popped out; with a *clack*, it jammed into the stone door, instantly slowing the speed of the door's closure.

"Run!" Chen Yu shouted violently.

"Go!" Zhang Desheng reacted and hurriedly took Li Yan and Zhang Li out.

After everyone was out, Chen Yu grabbed at the air with his right hand, retrieved his blade, and with a *crack*, the stone door locked completely.

At the same time, the passageway began to tremble violently; the place was collapsing.

The group ran rapidly toward the entrance of the passageway; the moment they bolted out, with a *boom*, the tomb chamber behind them collapsed completely.

Zhang Desheng was a bit older; after getting out, he sat on the ground and gasped for breath violently.

Chen Yu hurriedly stepped forward and performed a few massages on him, and only then did Zhang Desheng recover his senses.

"Zhang Lao, leave this place quickly; the Yin Land here has turned into a dead zone." Seeing the Yin energy around them growing thicker, Chen Yu pulled Zhang Lao up.

"Go, go, quickly." Zhang Desheng hurriedly stood up and walked forward.

Suddenly, a streak of black energy swept past Zhang Li; Zhang Li's expression froze, and she stood there foolishly, not moving at all.

Chen Yu glanced at Zhang Li, turned around quickly, flipped his right hand, and two Talisman Papers appeared in his hand.

The black energy in mid-air let out a shriek, and the two Talisman Papers transformed into two profound symbols, binding it tightly.

It struggled and hissed in mid-air, trying to break free from the binding of the symbols, but no matter what, it could not break free.

This thing could absorb human souls; the one soul Bai Jingxian had lost was taken away by this thing.

Chen Yu grabbed at the air with his right hand, and a translucent shadow returned to Zhang Li's body.

Zhang Li shuddered, feeling as if she had just woken from a dream; she saw the black energy in mid-air taking on all sorts of strange shapes and screamed in terror.

"Still not leaving?" Chen Yu glared at her.

Only then did Zhang Li wake up as if from a dream; she stumbled as she ran forward.

Chen Yu turned around and sent out his consciousness to strike at the black energy in mid-air; Bai Jingxian's lost soul had not yet been found, and he had to retrieve it.

Darkness fell before his eyes, and an unknown world appeared before Chen Yu; this world was empty, and everything between heaven and earth was pitch black.

Suddenly, a figure flashed, and Bai Jingxian appeared before Chen Yu; she was walking forward slowly in a daze.

Countless images appeared on both sides of her consciousness; these were originally her memories, but these memories did not originally belong to her. Chen Yu glanced at these images, feeling somewhat alarmed.

A girl dressed in strange attire stood amidst a group of puppets.

These puppets were short in stature and bizarre in appearance.

Some had indifferent faces with several eyes on one face, while others had no facial features at all, like crawling insects.

But most had pointed heads and round bodies, like roly-poly toys, with a single massive eye on their upper bodies.

This was the most common appearance of the Ghost Clan, and these puppets surrounded the little girl in the center as if they were stars surrounding the moon, seemingly worshipping her.

And this little girl was none other than Bai Jingxian.

Chen Yu was shocked; countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. This segment of Bai Jingxian's memory seemed to have been sealed, and in the memory, she was only about eight years old.

And these memories were exactly what she had experienced; was she related to the Ghost Clan? And judging by her status and rank, it was definitely not low. What exactly was her identity? What kind of relationship did she have with the Ghost Clan?

There was no time to think; Chen Yu grabbed Bai Jingxian, forcibly pulled her out of this memory, and returned to reality.

Sealing her soul into the Talisman, Chen Yu left rapidly.

Behind him, that mass of black Qi let out an angry roar, suddenly struggling violently to tear its own body apart, then lunging fiercely toward Chen Yu as if Chen Yu had snatched something important from it.

But this action of its angered Chen Yu; he frowned, turned back, and with a flash of Li Chen in his hand, a streak of Sword Qi slashed out, enveloping that mass of black Qi.

True Fire erupted, and with a boom, that mass of black Qi turned into a fireball, disappearing completely accompanied by a shrill scream.

Bursting out of a patch of forest, Chen Yu suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He saw Wu Da and Wu Er standing in front with murderous intent, while Zhang Desheng, Li Yan, and Zhang Li were being held captive by them.

"You, still able to come out alive?" Huang Yu panted heavily; he was also exhausted from that frantic run just now.

"If you have something to say, say it; let the people go," Chen Yu said indifferently.

"Let them go? Sure, finish yourself off," Wu Da said through gritted teeth, "You harmed Lao San; our brothers will not rest until you are dead."

"Harmed?" Chen Yu sneered, "Since you three brothers chose this path, you should be prepared to be finished off by others at any time."

"Shut your mouth," Wu Er roared, "Sever an arm, or I will kill this old man right now."

"Do you believe it?" Chen Yu nonchalantly plucked a few leaves from a tree beside him into his hand, "Before you can make a move, I can take the Life of you two brothers."

The two exchanged a glance, then shrank their bodies back, using Li Yan and Zhang Desheng as shields in front of them, with guns pressed against the two's foreheads.

Li Yan was pale with fright; her body trembled violently, and she dared not move a muscle.

"I don't believe it; do you think you are a Martial Ancestor Realm expert?" Wu Da roared, "If you dare to move an inch, we will take their Lives."

Chen Yu toyed with the two leaves in his hand and flicked his right hand; the two leaves floated slowly above his palm, and as his palm moved, the leaves spun violently in mid-air.

"You were right about one thing," the smile on Chen Yu's face gradually widened, "I am indeed a Martial Ancestor expert."
