School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 785: Chapter 862: Treasure, Entering the Mansion of Death

Wang Xia clenched his fists, gritting his teeth as he glared at Chen Nan, ”Give my brother’s life back!”

”Oblivious to death!”

Chen Nan, sparing no extra words, immediately swung his sword at Wang Xia.

After all, Wang Xia possessed the cultivation of the Ninth Layer of Qi Dao. Faced with the threat of death, his body violently struggled, and he finally managed to shift more than ten centimeters to the right, dodging the lethal strike, but his left arm was severed by Chen Nan’s blade.

The half-severed arm and fresh blood were suspended in midair, the scene frozen as if in a frame, especially gruesome.

Wang Xia let out a painful cry, his face filled with terror as he looked at Chen Nan, but the latter had no mercy in his heart, the Demon Sword now resting on Wang Xia’s neck as he sneered, ”I’ll ask you one last time, where is the Extreme Cold Treasure?”

Wang Xia was almost scared out of his wits, trembling with pain, ”Don’t kill me, I’ll take you there, I’ll take you!”

He had thought that with the power of his three brothers, they would be sufficient to kill Zhao Han and Chen Nan, since their cultivation realms were only at the Seventh and Fourth Levels of Taoist Control respectively. Yet, it turned out that when they unleashed their power, their combat strength was horrifyingly powerful.

Even a master of the Tenth Level of Tao would probably not fare well against the two of them together.

Chen Nan sealed his Inner Strength with an acupoint technique, and Zhao Han had also stopped casting his Taoist Skill, walking over to slap Wang Xia’s face, ”I hate ingrates the most, you really deserve to die.”

”I’ll take you there, I really will this time,” Wang Xia repeatedly said.

The Black Feathered Chicken, flapping its wings, clamored, ”Damn it, if you dare play tricks again, Grandpa Chicken will peck you to death.”

”I won’t dare anymore, I guarantee I won’t dare again.”

Chen Nan was just preparing to get on the road, but then Zhao Han suddenly pointed to the side and exclaimed, ”Those two corpses are gone!”

Chen Nan quickly turned around.

Indeed, the bodies of Wang Qiu and Wang Dong were gone, leaving only bloodstains on the ground.

A sinister chill wind blew through the alley, making the hairs on Chen Nan’s body stand on end. How could the bodies of the recently killed suddenly disappear?

All of this was too bizarre.

Wang Xia, too, was shaking all over with fear, ”Heaven... heavens, what is going on!”

Shua...

As everyone was in shock, a dark shadow flashed by from the front of the alley.

”It’s it!”

The Black Feathered Chicken screamed and jumped up, ”The cannibal monster!”

Zhao Han and I, our faces full of vigilance, clenched our fists; everything in this Dead City was too terrifying, fraught with crises everywhere: ”It just took those two corpses right beside us, and we didn’t even notice!”

”If it had attacked us from behind, we would probably be dead by now,” Chen Nan said.

Zhao Han nodded, and breathed slightly easier as he said, ”It seems, it doesn’t attack the living, only consumes the bodies of the dead.”

”We can only hope that’s the case, otherwise no one here could withstand it.”

As Chen Nan was speaking, suddenly a dark light flashed, and the dark shadow appeared again, this time coming straight towards them.

”Clang!”

The sound of the sword rang out as Chen Nan immediately drew his Demon Sword, ready to fight to the death.

But unexpectedly, the shadow merely flashed in front of them and swiftly retreated the next moment, without attacking them.

Still, no one could see the true face of the shadow; its speed was simply outrageous.

”Look quickly, that arm on the ground is gone too!” The Black Feathered Chicken, its feathers standing on end, shouted in alarm.

Chen Nan and Zhao Han looked down to see, indeed, Wang Xia’s arm that had been bleeding on the ground had disappeared in the blink of an eye, without a doubt taken by that shadow.

”My arm.”

Wang Xia’s face turned ghastly pale with fear as he clutched at the stump where his arm had been, his body trembling uncontrollably.

That arm had been a part of his body, but now, it was inside the mouth of the cannibal monster.

Black Feathered Chicken said, ”This monster is too terrifying, we need to get out of here quickly.”

Chen Nan gave Wang Xia a shove and said, ”Lead the way ahead.”

Some malice flashed in Wang Xia’s eyes as he led the way.

Thinking of the Extreme Cold Treasure, Chen Nan felt a rush of excitement and said, ”Hurry up.”

Wang Xia harbored resentment in his heart, but on the surface, he nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Navigating through the streets and alleys while avoiding several patrols of Ghost Soldiers, they finally arrived in front of a large mansion. Wang Xia reached out to push the door and said, ”This is the place.”

”Wait, don’t push!”

Black Feathered Chicken stopped him, staring intently at the mansion with a grave look, ”I always feel that there is something sinister about this mansion, as if it hides some kind of deadly trap. Are you sure it’s here, Wang?”

Wang Xia nodded and said, ”Of course, how could I possibly remember it wrong!”

Black Feathered Chicken shook his head and looked at Chen Nan, ”Kid, I advise you not to desire that treasure. If this door opens, it could be the end of everything!”

Chen Nan had already experienced the mysteries and horrors of the Dead City.

And considering Black Feathered Chicken was an old monstrous creature who had lived for hundreds of years, Chen Nan tended to believe him.

But to miss the Treasure just like that was something he truly could not bear, especially since his junior sister was suffering immensely from the Poison Fire. Even if the Extreme Cold Treasure could not eradicate the Poison Fire completely, it would definitely help suppress it.

As Chen Nan hesitated—

”We’ve all gone in before, what’s there to fear?” Wang Xia didn’t wait for Chen Nan to comment and directly pushed open the mansion’s door.

”Whoosh...”

Suddenly, a chilling wind howled, and a strange noise came from the heavens and the earth, sounding like tormented ghosts wailing.

Black Feathered Chicken roared, ”Who told you to open it!”

”It might be good to take a look inside,” Zhao Han said.

Chen Nan nodded and with a smile said to Black Feathered Chicken, ”Dead Chicken, if you’re scared, stay outside.”

Black Feathered Chicken, indignant, retorted, ”Damn it, even if it means death, what is there for this Lord Chicken to fear!”

Three men and one chicken stepped through the gate together.

”Bang...”

As soon as everyone entered, the mansion’s door closed automatically.

Chen Nan furrowed his brows but didn’t care too much and continued walking forward. They entered an open space that looked like the mansion’s front garden, but shockingly, it contained more than a dozen coffins!

The black stone coffins, each covered in dust, had clearly been existence for ages.

”Everyone, be careful.”

Chen Nan watched his surroundings cautiously and said to Wang Xia, ”Where is the Treasure?”

With a hint of spite in his eyes, Wang Xia pointed towards the mansion’s main hall and said, ”The Treasure is in the hall. We didn’t have time to take it last time as we were chased out by the Soul Devouring Worms.”

Though Chen Nan didn’t completely trust his words, he couldn’t entirely dismiss them either.

He walked towards the main hall step by step, but when he was still five meters away from it, he suddenly stopped. On the stone steps leading to the mansion’s main hall, he saw a puddle of fresh blood!
