Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2780

1293: A Dead End

Overhearing the conversation, the nearby Mongolians were bewildered. What was going on with this brother and sister?

“Are they really brother and sister?” Yang Lianzhenjia chuckled. “

Why do they sound like a couple?” Taoist Baisun chuckled sinisterly.

“Haha, everyone says Guo Jing is a great hero, but he’s raised a son and daughter to commit such incestuous acts.” A lustful look darkened the face of the Vajra Sect leader, and he became extremely excited.

The old man in the mountain remained silent, still attacking Zuan and Yanhua like a venomous snake.

Yanhua frowned slightly, but didn’t react much. She and Zuan weren’t really brother and sister.

Zuan was also unfazed. He was more worried about something else. Protecting Yanhua inevitably forced him to focus on one thing while neglecting another, draining his internal energy immensely. It wouldn’t be long before it was all gone.

The other men across from him were clearly aware of this, and their primary goal was to drain his internal energy.

He had originally intended to trick them into advancing, luring them in and quickly dispatching one or two of them, but they were such cunning old foxes they wouldn’t fall for it.

If only there were a way to replenish internal energy…

Then Yanhua spoke up, “Didn’t you have a technique for absorbing energy?”

Zuan was startled, realizing she was referring to the “Taotie Heaven-Swallowing Art.”

Yes, while this world forbade supernatural abilities, many principles held common ground. This world also had techniques like the “Northern Sea Divine Art” and the “Star-Absorbing Art,” which could also absorb internal energy.

While their power was far inferior to the “Taotie Heaven-Swallowing Art,” it proved that this approach was feasible even in this world.

His mind raced, adapting the “Taotie Heaven-Swallowing Art” to suit this world.

He was so familiar with the “Taotie Heaven-Swallowing Art,” and having used it almost instinctively over the years, the process was effortless, and he quickly created a technique similar to the “Northern Sea Divine Art” and the “Star-Absorbing Art.”

While its power alone might not surpass the Nine Yin Scriptures passed down to him by Guo Jing and Huang Rong, it significantly improved his protracted combat abilities.

He could absorb the incoming enemy force and transform it into his own internal energy, replenishing the immense energy consumed during combat.

Yang Lian, Zhenjia, and the others quickly noticed something unusual: “Why do I feel as if some of my internal energy is being drained away when I attack?”

“I feel the same way.”

“Does this guy use sorcery?”

…

Because the powerful fighting prowess Yanhua and Zuan had just displayed had intimidated everyone, they sensed this strange new ability and retreated to a safe distance, avoiding being attacked.

However, the Vajra Sect Master, unlike his companions, retreated a fraction too slowly.

Zuan seized the opportunity and grabbed him by the shoulder.

The Vajra Sect Master snorted. His hesitant retreat was due to his Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, completely unafraid of injury.

A golden glow shone from his body, and his monk robe puffed out. Clearly, his defense had reached its peak. He was confident that even the mountain old man’s full-strength attack wouldn’t harm him in the slightest.

Unfortunately, Zuan had just suffered a setback and had already figured out a way to break it.

The Vajra Indestructible Divine Art wasn’t particularly mysterious. It essentially focused on concentrating extreme internal energy around the body, forming an invisible barrier of Qi. Simultaneously, by compressing the Qi, the density of the skin and bones doubled, akin to “materializing Qi.”

External impacts were evenly distributed throughout the Qi barrier, naturally creating the illusion of indestructibility.

Breaking it wasn’t difficult; Zuan had already mentally simulated seven possible solutions. However, now faced with a powerful enemy, he chose the quickest and simplest.

A strange glint flashed in his eyes. The Nine Yin Manual: Soul Transferring Technique could manipulate and shake the enemy’s mind.

“Fireworks Monk, you were a Shaolin disciple back then, yet you murdered the head monk of the Shaolin Dharma Hall, slaughtered dozens of Shaolin monks, and betrayed the temple. Do you recognize your mistake?”

Zuan’s mental power now clearly surpassed that of ordinary humans in this world, especially since he was referring to the Vajra Master’s greatest past hatred.

As expected, a flicker of bewilderment flashed across the Vajra Sect Master’s eyes, then a fierce look filled him: “They deserve to die! They bullied and assaulted me so much back then…”

“Vajra Sect Master, be careful!” Several other masters shouted, trying to intervene.

But it was too late. The Vajra Sect Master’s mind had already been successfully affected by the Soul Transfer Technique. The Vajra Indestructible Divine Art required constant internal energy to permeate the body’s acupuncture points.

This momentary flaw caused his Vajra Indestructible Divine Art to stagnate slightly.

Then, he felt his power surge like a collapsing dam, surging towards the opponent’s palm.

“No!”

the Vajra Sect Master screamed, desperately trying to stop it, but it was no use. He no longer had the vibrant energy he had at the beginning, but instead looked haggard, like an ordinary old man.

A flash of a knife nearby, and Yang Lianzhenjia had severed the Vajra Sect Master’s arm, pulling him back.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The Vajra Sect Master had already become a mummy, his power drained away. How could he withstand such a severed arm? He could only breathe in, not out.

Zuan smiled faintly, “That tastes good! Who’s next?”

Seeing this scene, the masters present felt their scalps tingle.

Damn, who is the villain after all?

Seeing that his goal of intimidating the enemy had been achieved, Zuan took advantage of the others’ distraction and flew out of the encirclement, holding Fireworks. After a few leaps and falls, he disappeared into the back mountains.

Alone, and with his ability to absorb people’s internal energy, he could definitely protect himself. But the enemy was outnumbered and could attack the severely injured Fireworks. If

the fighting continued, Fireworks would most likely be lost. So, he saw an opportunity and fled without hesitation, intending to settle the score with them after rescuing Fireworks. He

sped through the back mountains and suddenly stopped in front of a massive ancient tomb.

The back mountains of the Quanzhen Sect, the ancient tomb, this was most likely the entrance to the Tomb Cultivation Sect.

Furthermore, he noticed that Yanhua’s meridians were severed, and such a serious injury made it unfit for further travel. So he shouted, “Master Yang, Miss Long, my second sister has been injured by the Mongols, and I’d like to take shelter in your place for a while.”

Strangely, despite repeated calls, there was no response.

Yang Guo had supposedly avoided Guo Xiang to sever his ties with her, but now that she was on the verge of death, he should have revealed himself long ago.

Zuan, not caring much, simply pushed open the tomb door and stepped inside.

The ancient tomb contained numerous defensive formations and mechanisms, a dangerous place for ordinary people to enter. But for Zuan, accustomed to the turmoil of the universe, these traps were child’s play.

He quickly found a quiet stone chamber, placed Fireworks on the stone bed, and hurriedly used his internal energy to heal it.

Fireworks cried out, and spat out another mouthful of blood.

He shook his head and said, “My heart meridians are severed. My life force is gone. Your efforts to save me are in vain.”

With her knowledge, how could she not be aware of her own physical condition? In the outside world, such an injury would be nothing. She had countless ways to save herself, but this world forbade all her abilities, and there were no panaceas. She thought, over and over again, that she was doomed.
