Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 405 My Senior Brother's Luck Has Arrived?
"I'm surrounded."

Gong Xuan succinctly informed Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang didn't ask any further questions and directly channeled his power into the coffin in front of him.

Just as he had helped Ao Xinchen, his gaze instantly fell upon Gong Xuan's side.

In his field of vision, Gong Xuan was surrounded by a large group of people who were sharpening their knives and guns, looking fierce and menacing.

One of the female Taoist priests kept throwing flirtatious glances at Gong Xuan.

Lin Jiang glanced at the female Taoist and guessed that she must be Gong Xuan's junior sister. Although Gong Xuan had mentioned the people around him many times, Lin Jiang had never actually met them and knew little about them. Now, seeing her surrounding Gong Xuan with this group of burly men, it seemed that their relationship was indeed quite unpleasant, just as Gong Xuan had said.

Upon seeing this group of enemies, Lin Jiang's brows twitched slightly.

In fact, Gong Xuan only had a small fragment with him, so Lin Jiang had nowhere to use his strength.

He could indeed continuously channel life force into Gongxuan, transforming him into a fearless "berserker" who tore apart those around him with his not-so-strong arms.

But if Gongxuan is captured, no amount of life force will be of any use.

However, after discussing life cultivation with the old Taoist priest, Lin Jiang then tested it on the merchant.

Perhaps he can use this small fragment of the coffin to control the lives of the people around him!

Just give it a try!
Without further hesitation, Lin Jiang poured all his Qi into the fragment and then used his newly acquired Qi circulation technique.

A moment later, he could see the surrounding people and Gong Xuan's Qi aura in his field of vision.

From this perspective, Lin Jiang could clearly see that Gong Xuan was surrounded by dense black energy.

The surrounding world seemed to be repelling Gong Xuan.

This is probably the origin of the saying "Gongxuan is poor and destined for poverty".

For a moment, Lin Jiang was also unsure whether Gong Xuan would abandon his connection with the world within the coffin after conquering the impoverished life, or whether he would completely and indirectly sever it and embark on a different path of life cultivation. Clearly, now was not the time to make a decision.

The group surrounding Gong Xuan had already aimed their crossbows in his direction.

It was clear that the intention was to launch an attack first with long-range shots.

Lin Jiang stretched out his hand, and a faint black liquid flowed from his fingertips.

The invisible Qi flows quietly with his movements.

……

The leader of the men in black glanced at the corpses on the ground, his cold gaze fixed on Gong Xuan.

This Taoist priest was indeed very capable; he lost two of his own men in the blink of an eye.

That's really annoying.

Fortunately, they managed to trap him here. As long as they could take his life, the entire treasure would be theirs for the taking!

It seems our ancestors were truly foolish to hand over the treasure they had painstakingly acquired!

The treasures left by the Zhou king are extremely rare. If we could acquire them, our strength would surely leap forward. Although our ancestor was highly skilled, his business acumen was truly lacking.

The man in black didn't really care about the consequences of killing the Taoist priest. After all, if they could really get the treasure, they could handle even if someone came after them.

His men drew their bows and aimed at the target, then with a sudden swing of their arms, a dense barrage of arrows rained down on Gong Xuan like locusts.

Seeing the barrage of arrows approaching, Gong Xuan felt a chill in his heart.

He had just contacted the eldest son when the other party launched an attack.

We must find a way to get through the first round!
The thought had barely formed when a rain of arrows was already upon them.

Gong Xuan subconsciously pulled out a few sheets of white paper and threw them forward.

The white paper instantly transformed into a solid barrier, standing in front of him.

Several arrows were blocked by the paper wall.

Seeing their attack fail, the leader of the men in black let out a cold snort.

With that cold snort, Gong Xuan was startled to find that the paper wall in front of him suddenly trembled.

Then,

The paper wall was suddenly torn apart by an invisible force!

Gong Xuan was momentarily stunned, but then he remembered a rare method.

"Hum-hafa".

The origin of this method is unknown, but it is suspected to originate from sound cultivation. It involves channeling Qi into sound, and by humming and hawing, one can enhance the power of the surrounding weapons.

Unexpectedly, such a person was hidden among these people.

At this moment, Gong Xuan was somewhat at a loss.

Just when he thought he was about to be hit by several more arrows, the sharp blades grazed past the hem of his clothes.

"Ok?"

Gong Xuan snapped back to his senses instantly, and taking advantage of the gap in the paper shadows, he leaped to the side, barely avoiding the most dangerous position.

Immediately afterwards, he forcefully flung it out of his arms again.

This time, instead of using paper, they used spinning tops that children play with.

With a whip in his left hand and a spinning top in his right, he forcefully flung the top out and lashed it upwards.

The leader of the men in black suddenly felt an immense force strike him, and his entire body began to spin uncontrollably.

The man in black was terrified.

What kind of evil method is this?!
He instinctively wanted to use his own Hum Ha technique to avoid damage.

However, before he could even activate the technique, a strong sense of discomfort surged into his body.

Before his Qi could even travel from his dantian to his throat, it surged wildly through his limbs and bones.

Along with this chaotic Qi, two streams of Qi, one hot and one cold, appeared on the left and right sides of his body, respectively.

These two opposing energies, seemingly incompatible, were now acting like partners working together, wreaking havoc within his body.

At that very moment, his neck finally gave way.

With a cracking sound, his neck broke along his cervical spine.

His head spun around completely, and his neck twisted like a pretzel.

He swayed for a couple of moments, then collapsed forward with a thud. And that was it, he died.

Not to mention the other men in black standing nearby, even Gong Xuan, who had just dealt with him, was filled with questions at this moment.

died?

Gong Xuan didn't believe that this person would die so easily on the spot, but the corpse on the ground couldn't be faked.

The group of people nearby belatedly realized what was happening, but they showed no sign of sadness and rushed towards Gong Xuan's direction together.

Amidst the flashing blades and clashing swords, they were determined to tear Gong Xuan to shreds before they would stop.

Gong Xuan pulled out a wheel made of polished wood from somewhere. He lifted the wheel upwards, but then used a reverse motion to make it spin inwards, and threw it directly behind the group of men in black.

The wheel drew a graceful arc in the air and grew larger and larger, expanding to the height of a person in the blink of an eye.

After the wheel landed, because its rotation direction was towards Gong Xuan himself, it rushed straight towards him.

The men in black had seen this move before in their previous encounter with Gong Xuan, and knew that it was intended to attack from behind. So they scattered to the sides in an attempt to avoid it.

However, for some reason, their movements suddenly became unusually stiff, and two or three of them were unable to dodge at all.

As the wheels spun around, kicking up clouds of dust, they could only watch helplessly as the wheels crashed into their bodies and ran over them.

Accompanied by screams of shattering bones and flying flesh, the wheel was also launched into the air by the three corpses, crashing directly towards the people who were dodging to the other side.

With a loud crash, the people who had already dodged were also crushed to death.

Gong Xuan couldn't help but gasp.

This isn't right.

I threw the wheel just now to attract their fire so I could escape.
How could they kill them in just a couple of moves?

At this moment, Gong Xuan finally belatedly realized that something was wrong, and he immediately asked himself:

"Could it be the eldest young master's help?"

"Ah."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, joy and astonishment surged within Gong Xuan at the same time.

The good news is that with such a powerful ally standing behind him, this fierce battle should not be a problem.

Surprisingly, the other party's methods were truly unpredictable.

I feel like I haven't gotten stronger; instead, I've become more vulnerable.

Many moves that couldn't have hurt him before now always hit him accurately.

It was as if my luck had suddenly turned around.

The female Taoist priest, who was observing from the sidelines, stopped her movement as she was about to move forward with them.

Her eyes still showed signs of shock.

Something's wrong.

She knew her senior brother's luck all too well. In actual combat, it was already more than enough that God didn't target him. How could He let him have such a smooth ride?

When being hit, they are more likely to be struck in vital areas, and when hitting someone, they will throw out all their valuables.

Anyway, my senior brother usually just gets whatever bad luck comes his way.

In a normal fight, the luck factor of her senior brother always has to be taken into account, which means that the actual skill her senior brother displayed was always much weaker than it appeared.

Now?

He's several times stronger than usual now!
Kun Dao sensed something was wrong and immediately jumped back, trying to escape.

Upon seeing this, Gong Xuan quickly took out a slingshot from his pocket, picked up a pebble, nocked it onto the slingshot, and shot it at Kun Dao.

Kun Dao hurriedly tried to dodge, and suddenly turned his head to the side, but by sheer coincidence, a pebble struck his head.

My head exploded instantly.

Seeing that things were going badly, the remaining men in black turned to flee, but Gong Xuan picked up a few more pebbles and shot them with his slingshot.

Two were killed, but the remaining four or five escaped.

He finally caught his breath and walked toward his junior sister's corpse with a complicated expression.

A fox.

really.

Although she was hit on the head, my junior sister, who values ​​her life so much, naturally has many ways to escape.

Looking at the corpses all around him, although he hadn't managed to wipe them all out, Gong Xuan didn't plan to catch up with the fleeing soldiers for the time being.

These are not all the enemies; if I chase after them, I might end up in an encirclement.

We cannot rely on the abilities of others to act recklessly.

Finding the right treasure to break through one's destiny is of paramount importance.

……

After running some distance, Kun Dao finally stopped.

She gasped for breath and then coughed violently twice.

He covered his mouth with his hand and waited a moment before putting his hand down.

There was a noticeable bloodstain on her palm.

Under normal circumstances, she would not harm herself when using the Substitute Technique. Although this technique cannot heal injuries as quickly as Body Transformation, its advantage is that it can protect one's life more effectively before one has mastered Body Transformation.

But for some reason, Gong Xuan's move just now also injured her.

Many questions arose directly in Kundao's mind.

What extraordinary encounter did you have, senior brother?
Why has everything suddenly become so smooth sailing?

Kun Dao couldn't help but recall the last time she tried to harm her senior brother, when he, who should have been seriously injured, actually retaliated, leaving her severely wounded for a long time.

How similar is this situation today?
Thinking of this, a blush rose on Kundao's face.

"Senior brother, have you received a divine blessing, or have you broken your own destiny?"

Her voice was low and emotionless.
