Under One Person: Did Zuo Ruotong and I switch bodies?
Chapter 37 Joining Forces
Wu Gensheng, whose real name was Feng Yao, was born in 1900.
He was born during a famine, and his mother died of hunger and exhaustion shortly after giving birth to him, without even cutting the umbilical cord. Such a child was called a "coffin child," an ominous sign.
Despite being considered an ominous sign, he was quite lucky. Before he starved to death, he was picked up by an old Taoist priest named Feng, who raised him, taught him to read and write, and gave him the name "Feng Yao".
The old Taoist was not an extraordinary person and did not understand cultivation, but he was born with extraordinary talent and a natural love of quiet. He even figured out the method of entering and leaving meditation on his own and awakened his innate ability - "Divine Spirit".
"Being able to restore any method formed by Qi back to Qi is precisely the method of 'returning to the source'." Ming Chen narrowed his eyes as he looked at Wugensheng below.
"Zhang Huaiyi's 'Qi Body Source Flow' is even more advanced, capable of restoring and absorbing innate Qi, which is why he said... his methods have surpassed those of gods and spirits."
He had no doubt about the power of the "Qi Body Source Flow," but he remained skeptical that this method surpassed the "Divine Spirit."
The reason is simple: as the biggest plot hole in the original story, Wugensheng's development of "Divine Spirit," which has been missing for many years, must not have been limited to the level at the time of their sworn brotherhood. Perhaps it can reach the heavens like the "Eight Extraordinary Skills"...
"It even surpasses the 'Eight Extraordinary Skills'!"
Mingchen was pondering this.
On the grave mound, Wu Dehui had already made his move. He raised his hand and slapped it down, and a black aura instantly spread out, causing the entire grave mound to tremble.
"This is?!"
Feng Tianyang's eyes widened, and he immediately sensed something was wrong. Before he could react, black energy rose from the surrounding land, enveloping the graveyard and forming a large-scale formation.
"Is it the aura?"
"You've learned warlock techniques!"
He never expected that this guy would have this trick up his sleeve. Sensing the heavy Yin energy, his brows furrowed immediately.
The next moment, Wu Dehui waved his hand, and all the Yin Qi poured into the spirits around him, while simultaneously enveloping Feng Tianyang and drawing out the Yin Qi from his body.
"Give up, Young Master Feng. I sensed you trying to capture my spirit before. Since you dared to wait for me here, I can naturally deal with you!"
Looking at the Feng family genius who was bound by the power of the aura and unable to move, he was smug. With a wave of his hand, several spirits rushed over.
"Should we make a move...?"
Seeing this, Mingchen narrowed his eyes and then glanced at Wugensheng on the other side. Although he stood there motionless, his eyes kept wandering, as if looking for an opportunity.
"I see."
He immediately realized that this must be the first encounter between Feng Tianyang and Wugensheng. Since the two would later become sworn brothers, they would surely work together to solve the problem...
"Then there's nothing dangerous about it."
He smiled and his eyes lit up.
Swah——
In the next instant, Mingchen transformed into a pure white stream of light, shooting straight towards the northwest corner of the formation. Through his "Heavenly Eye," he confirmed that this was the weakest point in the formation.
Boom!
He stomped his foot, sending the grave soil flying, and a human skull enveloped in black energy burst from the ground and flew up—the very material used to set up this scheme…
Crack!
He smashed it with one punch.
The yin energy immediately dissipated considerably.
"Who goes there?!"
Seeing someone suddenly appear and disrupt his plan, Wu Dehui was immediately surprised. In that instant, a figure bypassed the protective spirit, rushed in front of him, and grabbed his shoulder.
"Huh?!"
He stared at it.
It was that kid my brother sent!
"How could you...?"
Under his shocked gaze, Wugensheng let out a cold laugh, and a strange power suddenly erupted. The Yin Qi around him dissipated instantly, and his soul was no longer under his control...
"What...what happened?!"
"A great opportunity!"
Although everything happened suddenly, Feng Tianyang seemed to have been prepared, giving a command in his mind:
"shot!"
boom!
A gunshot rang out!
Outside the cemetery, the bandits who had just left suddenly returned, all with blank expressions. One of them was holding a musket, wisps of gunpowder rising from its muzzle...
puff!
A bullet pierced his eyebrow.
A flower of blood bloomed on the back of Wu Dehui's head!
thump!
As the corpse fell to the ground, the broken aura dissipated. Feng Tianyang immediately circulated his Qi, and jet-black threads shot out, binding all the souls that were about to scatter.
Then he ran to Wu Dehui's body and took the cloth bag from his waist: "Although it's all low-grade stuff, it's still useful."
After collecting all the souls, he looked at the two who had made the move. When he recognized one of them as Ming Chen, he exclaimed, "Ah! Brother from the Sanyi Sect, didn't you say you took a detour?"
"I took a detour because I was worried about my driver. I told him to wait in a safe place first, and then I came back to check."
This kid tried to trick him before, but Ming Chen was too lazy to bother with him. He only made a move to take the opportunity to get close to Wugensheng, so he cupped his hands and said, "I am Ming Chen. May I ask your name, which school you belong to, and what methods you used just now?"
"I?"
Wugensheng then dropped his pretense, his eyes calm, and replied with a smile, "I am... 'Wugensheng,' my skills are innate, I belong to no sect or school, and I cannot compare to the two of you..."
"Brother, you're too modest. If it weren't for your intervention just now, this person wouldn't have been so easy to deal with."
"Just lucky, that's all."
At this time, Wugensheng was only twenty-one years old, a novice in the martial arts world. Lacking guidance and knowledge of the ways of the martial arts world, he was extremely cautious. After settling the captured children and making sure they were in hiding…
"Gentlemen, now that this villain has been eliminated, I have other important matters to attend to, so I will be taking my leave."
"Wait..."
Ming Chen flashed and blocked his way: "If you're going to Yichun County, we'll be going the same way. I heard it's been occupied by bandits, I'll go take a look."
"You... want to deal with the bandits?"
That's exactly what I was thinking.
"Um……"
"Alright then, please come with me."
Everything Wu Gensheng did before, including offering his wife, was an act, all to gain Wu Deming's trust and get close to Wu Dehui, so that he could get rid of this "kindred spirit" first.
Once the threat of that vengeful ghost is gone, he can carry out his plan, find a way to blow up the armory, and then take advantage of the chaos to capture the bandit leader. Without the leader and the firearms, the remaining bandits will be no problem, and the crisis will be resolved.
In his view, the man before him was upright and had an extraordinary temperament. He had just assisted in eliminating evil and should be a righteous person who could be a good helper.
As the two were about to leave, Feng Tianyang, who had been ignored, suddenly shouted, "Hey! Wait! I killed this guy, no one's even asking me anything? Why don't you guys pay me a visit..."
"If you're going, then go with us; if you're not going, then leave."
Without turning his head, Mingchen left a sentence and ran into the city with Wugensheng.
"Uh... wait for me!"
moment……
"This city is full of bandits, and quite a few of them. Half of them are carrying guns. Luckily, I came along, otherwise, the two of you... would probably be dead here."
After scaling the city wall in the dark and observing from a high vantage point for a while, Feng Tianyang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he patted the several blank-faced bandits beside him...
The spirit he nurtured is possessing them.
