Chapter 578

Individual in the Coffin

The floor started turning to frost as the room in the temperature abruptly plummeted. Mu Yu felt he was the closest he had been yet to the unidentified aura that he had been fretting over, and it was right behind him!

Mu Yu pivoted and thrust at the same time, hearing it plunge through. Once his head caught up, he saw his sword in Elder Zhao’s chest. Startled, he pulled his sword out and dashed for the door, only for it to slam on him. Mu Yu quickly unleashed a wave of sword qi. He expected to tear through the door, yet a menacing qi raced to the door to thwart the attack.

By the time Mu Yu looked over his shoulder, Elder Zhao was already there. None of it made sense. Elder Zhao was supposed to be slow, wasn’t he? He had a hole in his chest, yet he wasn’t bleeding or bothered.

Mu Yu cast a formation from his hand, spreading the formation lines ubiquitously, yet something limited the range to his immediate surroundings, forbidding him from lighting up the room.

“Be a man, and show yourself.”

Elder Zhao charged Mu Yu again. Mu Yu didn’t desecrate Elder Zhao’s corpse because he held the opinion that Elder Zhao couldn’t hurt him based on experience. The bigger problem was that the temperature in the room plummeted ceaselessly, penetrating even his coat of spiritual energy.

Mu Yu turned Wood Spirit Sword into a big tree to restrain Elder Zhao with branches and used the leaves’ death qi to counter the yin qi in the room. As he triumphed, his restricted formation lines spread again, finally lighting up the room. As such, Mu Yu left just the branch restraining Elder Zhao and got rid of the qi so that the tree branch could absorb the yin qi oozing out of Elder Zhao.

Mu Yu placed Elder Zhao’s corpse on the bed once it reverted to being just an ordinary corpse and checked the room. As soon as Mu Yu breached the door, he activated a formation with his foot, leaving no shadows to hide in the courtyard. The weird air in the atmosphere had vanished without a trace. Puzzled, Mu Yu inspected the store, yet it was also perfectly normal.

Elder Xu had another puff, thankful for all the recent blessings. Suddenly, he heard his dog barking aggressively, reminding him of how envious he was of Mu Yu for having a talking pet. He thought it would’ve been nice to have someone he could talk to.

“Dahuang, stop barking!”

Much to Elder Xu’s chagrin, Dahuang kept barking. Before Elder Xu could scold his dog, he heard footsteps. Thus, Elder Xu hurriedly put out his pipe and fanned the smoke in the room.

“Sir Mu Yu, is that you?”

As Elder Xu went to answer the door, the person outside pushed it open.

“Y-y-y-”

“You don’t recognise yourself?” asked the individual with jet-black eyes outside, wearing a cheshire smile and white spiritual energy ring around his neck.
