On the other end of the phone, I heard my father's tired voice.

"Get out of there quickly! Dad's magic won't last much longer!"

"Yes, Dad, I'll take Xiaoyu and leave right away!"

Jackie Chan nodded repeatedly.

"And one more thing!"

The old man seemed to have suddenly seen something and immediately spoke.

"The Tiger Talisman is very important. Bring it back and don't let it fall into the hands of the Holy Lord!"

"Dad, I understand."

Jackie Chan responded, tightening his grip on Jade's hand, and then clenching the talisman tightly.

"let's go!"

Jackie Chan picked up Jade and darted to the side.

"Shh!"

Wherever they went, the shadowy figures were forced to retreat.

"It works, Uncle Long!"

Xiaoyu said with delight.

"but......"

She watched as the departing shadows did not retreat far, but remained firmly surrounded.

They take one step forward, they take one step back.

They take one step closer, then they take one step back.

However, although they did not approach them, those in front retreated, while those behind stepped forward.

"What are we going to do, Uncle Long? They've surrounded us. Once the magic wears off, we won't be able to fight off so many of them!"

Xiaoyu swallowed hard, then gripped Jackie Chan's waist tightly with both hands and legs, so that he would have to use less effort to hold her.

"I don't know either, what bad luck!"

Jackie Chan let out a strange cry.

"We can only hope we can run out of here in one breath."

Jackie Chan looked around; the shadowy ninjas had completely surrounded them.

He looked into the distance; there was no way out.

"It can only be this way......"

Jackie Chan's feet bounced back and forth as he planned to run a short distance and then try to leap out of the encirclement of the shadowy figures.

"click"

Just as he tensed all his strength, ready to sprint.

Suddenly, a crisp sound echoed in everyone's ears.

"Uh... Uncle Long, that familiar voice..."

Before Xiaoyu could finish speaking, Jackie Chan opened his arms, and a crack appeared on the tiger amulet.

"How did it crack?"

Jackie Chan and Jade said in unison.

"That old man?!"

The two turned around and saw that the old man remained calm and composed, taking bite after bite of the fruit pies that were placed on the tilted long table and had not yet fallen to the ground.

The way he chewed slowly and deliberately revealed a great deal of composure and unhurriedness.

"Buzz!"

In Jackie Chan's hands, the Tiger Talisman was completely broken in two.

A dazzling light shone forth, so brilliant and intense that Xiaoyu couldn't help but close her eyes.

In the far distance, Jiang Shinian was quietly watching the scene of the shadowy figures surrounding Jackie Chan.

This was a talisman he couldn't afford to lose, so he had to personally take charge of the Shadow Legion.

He remained hidden in the darkness, not revealing himself.

Using the magic of piercing the distance, he could clearly see that all his shadowy soldiers were being blocked by the glowing telephone in Xiaoyu's hand.

He could send living people to steal or break the phone that had been given magical powers.

But there was one person who made it difficult for him to make a final judgment.

That's the old man who participated in the pie-eating contest with Jackie Chan, Tru, and Jade.

His behavior is truly baffling.

What normal person could remain calm and composed in the face of so many shadowy figures and sumo wrestlers who were many times taller and stronger than them?

Look at the people around you.

The host and the onlookers had all vanished without a trace.

How could he sit there eating fruit pie without changing his expression or seeming to be around anyone else?

Was he truly nonchalant, fearless, and certain that these shadowy ninjas wouldn't harm him, or...?

For no apparent reason, Jiang Shinian felt a deep sense of apprehension.

You should know that even the dark energy that has been dormant for who knows how long has an incarnation existing in the world, so what about the righteous energy?

In the current world order, righteousness generally holds the upper hand.

Jiang Shinian was unwilling to show himself directly, but was instead empowered by dark energy, which forced him to fight against the main characters.

Because in this way, the buff that righteous energy provides to the main characters will definitely be much, much greater than the buff that dark energy provides!

In that case, how could he possibly win?

If you really want to hammer a nail into a stubborn stone tablet—a head-on collision—it's not a simple matter of needle against wheat, but rather a clash like the King of Qin returning to his palace—utterly devastating.

Don't you even consider the relics left behind by the gods, those outrageous divine armors, those ancient yet seemingly suddenly appearing mysterious spells, and Dad's ultimate artifact, dried squid...

"hiss......"

Jiang Shinian thought about it casually for a moment, then gasped.

If Dad were to use that dried squid to cast a reverse spell on me, it shouldn't send me straight back to hell, right?

"Hmm...definitely not!"

Jiang Shinian shook his head, reaffirming his resolve.

That means even if he is resurrected, he will absolutely not confront the righteous forces head-on at this time. Even if he really wants to fight, he will first go to another world to strengthen himself before fighting Jackie Chan in the ring!

"If I had the resources of several worlds to support me and give the dark energy a crazy boost, then no matter how strong the righteous energy is, it would be at a disadvantage. Even if the yin and yang circulate and the dark energy surges, making the righteous energy stronger as well, as long as I maintain enough progress, I will be the center of this world! At that time, perhaps even the righteous energy will have to compromise with me and both energies will support me together, and I will directly become the ultimate spokesperson of the world's will!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Shinian's eyes flashed with a blood-red light. He used magic to allow himself to see the scene in the far distance.

"Hmph, righteousness!"

Jiang Shinian glared fiercely at the old man who was calmly eating a fruit pie.

Suddenly, the old man who was slowly chewing on the fruit pie turned his head slightly and looked in Jiang Shinian's direction.

He looked as if he was tired from eating and was naturally twisting his neck.

"Fuck!"

Jiang Shinian was startled. The dark shadows rolled in, and he quickly disappeared into the deeper darkness.

"Damn it..."

After fleeing a great distance in another direction, Jiang Shinian found that there was no movement and breathed a sigh of relief.

He slowly leaned out of the shadows and looked toward Jackie Chan.

This time he was smarter. He didn't look directly at the old man, but glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and found that the old man was still pulling the fruit pie from a little distance to his side.

He couldn't help but curse, "You old man, it's not that I'm afraid of you, I just felt that I couldn't see clearly from that position just now."

Jiang Shi Nian twisted his neck and looked at Jackie Chan.

There, a faint, shimmering light shone brightly amidst the darkness.

"Hmm! This position is much better. I couldn't see clearly before, but this is much better."

Jiang Shi Nian calmed down and looked closely.

Just then, a shocking change occurred under Jiang Shinian's watchful gaze.

In Jackie Chan's hands, a light even more dazzling than his father's magic phone burst forth at this moment.

The light spread out and covered Jackie Chan, enveloping him completely.

And that’s not all.

A system notification followed.
