Vol.1 - Chapter 16 – Silver Beastskin Book

Wang Xuan was resolute. If he hadn't been calm enough just now and jumped down to fight for it, he would have definitely shattered and died underground.

This sorcerer was incredibly powerful during his lifetime, and even after his death, he caused such a terrifying incident when someone approached his remains.

Now, Wang Xuan somewhat believed that the sorcerer's claims were not exaggerated. They were not just empty legends, but actually true.

Was that transformation just now? Wang Xuan wondered.

The sorcerer's state was very peculiar. When he was first seen, his hair was black, his complexion was rosy, and he looked lifelike, but he disappeared in an instant.

"Floating and independent, transforming and ascending to immortality." Even some historical figures wrote poems about it, expressing their longing.

In various books, the terms "transformation" and "ascending to immortality" were often used together. Could what he just witnessed be the process of becoming an immortal that had been passed down through the ages?

Wang Xuan pondered and felt that the truth would be cruel once revealed.

Some surviving ancient religious texts were very similar to what he had just witnessed. In the past, there were great sages who secluded themselves and sealed themselves in stone chambers. When future generations opened the underground palace, the traces of these sages had already disappeared.

Later generations worshipped them, believing that these sages had transformed and become immortals.

Wang Xuan fell silent. This was not flying to immortality, but turning into ashes, completely dissipating into dust.

There was no doubt that this was not good news for those who practiced the old arts. It further proved that there was no such thing as transformation and ascension to immortality in the world.

The truth was brutal. The great sages of the past had all died!

Bang!

A corpse was thrown down and landed on the beast skin book. There was a faint silver light, but nothing unusual happened.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Three figures jumped down one after another and entered the underground palace below, rushing towards the silver beast skin book.

Wearing feather robes, these top experts among the sorcerers were studying it until their deaths, completely absorbed and unable to extricate themselves, eventually turning into ashes without realizing it.

It could be imagined that the silver scroll was extraordinary and probably had a great origin.

Wang Xuan was determined to obtain it and wanted to see what was recorded on it.

Near him, rocks were shattered, and two people on the opposite side opened fire, trying to suppress him with firepower. Energy beams shattered the rock walls and covered the area.

Wang Xuan remained calm. It was difficult for him to target the two people in front of him from his position, but he had a high vantage point over the three people in the lower level of the underground palace, making it convenient for him to take action.

He held an energy gun in his hand and patiently fired shots. He was practicing and familiarizing himself with the accuracy of the energy gun.

Bang!

He knocked down one person, causing them to fall to the ground.

After several shots, the second person was hit by the energy beam, convulsing all over and quickly fainting.

However, the third person in the lower level of the underground palace successfully obtained the silver beast skin scroll and hid behind a rock, not moving.

Wang Xuan was patient. Time was on his side, and it was not him who was anxious. Qing Mu, Heihu, and the others would definitely come back soon.

Sure enough, after not much time had passed, Zhou Yun couldn't help but shout, "Wrap the beast skin book with a stone and throw it up!"

The black-clothed people below did as instructed. With a flash of silver light, the beast skin scroll was thrown out and landed among the pile of rocks above.

Zhou Yun was anxious. The scroll was a bit far from their position underground, and it was difficult to throw it directly in front of them due to the angle.

Wang Xuan remained calm and continued to shoot the black-clothed people who had fallen to the ground in the upper level of the underground palace. Regardless of their actual condition, he made sure they completely fainted this time, even if some of them were pretending to be dead.

The underground palace had been "cleansed" from all directions by him, and now he could rest assured.

Crack!

During this process, rocks near Wang Xuan occasionally exploded. The two people on the opposite side who were firing their guns were quite accurate, constantly suppressing him and making him uncomfortable.

Zhou Yun was anxious. He was afraid that Qing Mu, Heihu, and the others would come back. He whispered, "We don't have much time. While he's being suppressed and can't show himself, one of us should go and retrieve the beast skin scroll."

The two people hesitated. Although the person on the opposite side didn't have a strong killing intent and was only using the energy gun to make them faint, who knew if this was a deliberate trap to lure them out, not fearing death, and directly charge out? They had used such methods before.

Under Zhou Yun's pressure, one of them reluctantly charged out. As a result, an energy beam swept past him, narrowly missing him. This person quickly retreated, luckily agile enough to avoid it.

"We don't have time on our side."

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread.com".

Zhou Yun gritted his teeth and jumped out from behind the rocks himself, wanting to personally snatch it using his agility.

But an energy beam grazed past his ear, startling him and causing cold sweat to break out. He decisively jumped back.

Wang Xuan also felt that time was running out. He decided to take the initiative. Otherwise, Qing Mu, Heihu, and the others would return early, and he wouldn't have a chance to study the beast skin scroll.

Boom boom boom!

Wang Xuan pushed a large, smooth boulder forward as a defense and charged towards the silver beast skin scroll."This guy is strong, let's follow suit and push the boulder forward!" Zhou Yun shouted, pushing one himself while the other two pushed together.

During this process, due to continuous progress, the angle changed, and Wang Xuan successfully dealt with the person in the lower underground palace.

Approaching the animal skin scroll gradually, Wang Xuan was about to encounter the person on the opposite side.

The two people who were pushing the boulder together secretly estimated when they would collide and prepared to shoot from different directions. With the advantage in numbers, they naturally had a greater chance of winning.

However, things didn't go as they expected. They underestimated Wang Xuan's strength. Suddenly, he accelerated the push of the boulder, changing the speed from that of an old ox.

Now, Wang Xuan pushed the boulder with both palms, like a roaring train, and crashed towards them with a loud bang.

Bang!

The two boulders suddenly collided, and the two people misjudged the situation. They were directly thrown out by a huge force and were seriously injured.

One of them groaned and hit the side of the rock wall with the back of his head, blood flowing, his vision darkening, and he fainted in pain.

The other person was thrown into the air and started shooting continuously.

Wang Xuan dodged with agile movements and counterattacked with his gun. However, the results were not satisfactory. Several beams of light missed the person, leaving him embarrassed.

He shook his hand and threw the dagger on his body, which pierced the person's shoulder with a "pu" sound, causing him to scream in pain.

Wang Xuan remained silent. Even with the use of an energy gun, he still couldn't match the accuracy of a cold weapon. He crouched behind a piece of bluestone, avoiding Zhou Yun's gunfire. He picked up a rock and smashed the person's face, who had been stabbed in the shoulder by the dagger, causing him to faint without making a sound.

"Hey!" Zhou Yun was both nervous and excited because he had already grabbed the animal skin scroll and held it in his hand. He couldn't help but want to shout.

However, it was not a time for joy yet. He told himself to stay calm, hiding behind the boulder and continuously shooting towards Wang Xuan's direction.

Wang Xuan fought back, but the results were not good.

He crouched behind a piece of bluestone, put down the energy gun, and took out a long knife, throwing it directly.

Zhou Yun hid behind the boulder, not even showing his head, only occasionally raising an arm to shoot. Suddenly, he felt a chilling coldness. When he just raised the energy gun, he heard a "crack" sound, and the gun broke.

He reacted quickly, quickly retracting his hand. A bright knife light flashed by, unexpectedly an alloy knife that broke the energy gun and cut his hand, causing blood to flow and scaring him into a cold sweat.

If he had reacted a little slower, his palm would have been cut off, and the alloy knife almost hit the top of his head, grazing his scalp as it flew past.

Seeing this, Wang Xuan directly leaped over. He was very close to Zhou Yun, and with a pounce, he didn't bother to pick up the energy gun on the ground because he felt that his old techniques were more reliable at close range.

Zhou Yun laughed when he saw this, revealing his white teeth, and said coldly, "You dare to fight me up close and personal, you don't even know how to die. I practice super techniques!"

He also leaped up, full of confidence. The opponent was using old techniques, so coming at him like this was simply seeking death.

He was 185 centimeters tall, with a strong physique. At this moment, a faint blue mist appeared all over his body, and blue light emitted from his palms and fingers. Zhou Yun sneered and attacked Wang Xuan.

He believed that his super techniques could directly pierce through the opponent's body, overwhelming him with crushing force. The opponent couldn't possibly withstand his terrifying strength.

Because he had already touched supernatural substances!

In Zhou Yun's opinion, the encounter with Wang Xuan last time was purely accidental. It was difficult to find young people who could achieve such accomplishments in old techniques. This mixed-race child with blue eyes wanted to confront him using old techniques? He thought it was simply seeking to be abused, waiting to be killed!

Wang Xuan remained calm, not even furrowing his brows. This time, he didn't use the Five Organs Thunder Sound Technique because the faint thunder sound was too obvious.

He used another technique - the Golden Armor Technique.

He had consulted Qing Mu before, asking him for effective methods to counter super techniques.

Qing Mu had mentioned the Golden Armor Technique, a body technique that claimed to be invulnerable to blades and bullets when practiced to a high level. It was extremely effective against defending against supernatural substances.

Wang Xuan had practiced it in the past and had achieved some results.

Now, he displayed it. His body instantly tensed up, and a faint golden radiance flashed by.

Boom!

Zhou Yun felt like he had been hit by a mountain. His whole body flew through the air, and at the same time, his palms were in intense pain as the blue light attached to them was dispersed.

He felt extremely uncomfortable. After practicing the old techniques, he had been defeated by two young people in just two days, and the most important thing was that one of them was a mixed-race child!

He roared in anger, stumbling and falling to the ground, then immediately leaped up again, wanting to counterattack.

However, the opponent's palm, wearing a defensive glove, struck him again with a bang. In an instant, Zhou Yun's hands were bloody, his tiger's mouth split open, and his fingernails were almost torn off.

Bang!

Zhou Yun felt a severe pain as the opponent slapped his forearm. With a "crack" sound, he heard the clear sound of bones breaking.

Chii!The next moment, he felt a chill in his chest as his clothes were torn open again, and the silver beast skin scroll was snatched away.

"No!" Zhou Yun felt incredibly aggrieved and couldn't help but roar in anger.

However, the next moment he quieted down considerably. Wang Xuan's fist landed on his nose, and with a crack, his nasal bone broke, sending him flying.

Seeing Wang Xuan approaching and picking up a stone the size of a basketball, all of Zhou Yun's grief and indignation disappeared, and he dared not shout anymore.

He covered his nose, forcing a smile, and said, "Friend, you are very strong, stronger than a Wang I know. I, Zhou Yun, admit defeat. Let's be friends, don't kill me. After all, I come from the Zhou family, I am Zhou Mingxuan's son. You may not care, but it's better to avoid trouble. If I die, the Zhou family will definitely investigate. Friend, please show mercy."

Then, he saw the blue-eyed mixed-race boy suddenly hurl the basketball-sized stone at his head!

Bang!

"Ah..." Zhou Yun screamed, and then his voice abruptly stopped.

He found that he was not dead, and there was no severe pain. The stone hit the ground close to his scalp, causing a buzzing in his ears and his body was covered in cold sweat. He was truly terrified, feeling as if he had just brushed past the Grim Reaper.

"Friend, thank you for sparing my life!" He was somewhat moved, feeling so good to be alive that he almost wanted to cry.

Bang!

Wang Xuan's foot came down, kicking him in the head and knocking him unconscious.

Then Wang Xuan quickly unfolded the silver beast skin scroll. There was nothing to say, he had to memorize everything at the first moment!

It's the last day of the double period, don't forget to vote if you have any monthly tickets left, thank you!
