Chapter 9: Dark Xuangong

Chu Xinghe cautiously climbed the uneven rocks on the cliff face, and moved step by step towards the place where the ginseng essence grew.

Chu Xingfeng and his entourage of six people looked at Chu Xinghe silently, each with their own thoughts in their hearts. Chu Xingfeng and Ouyang Xun glanced at each other from time to time, a sneer flashed across the corners of their mouths, and they knew each other tacitly. Chu Yunting pretended to please Chu Xinghe but was humiliated, and her heart was itching with hatred, but she couldn't tear her face yet, which really made this girl who claimed to be a genius Xuan Monk feel aggrieved.

Luo Tong always paid attention to Chu Xinghe, for fear that he would accidentally stumble and fall into the abyss. And the dark master Liu Xi stood there motionless, wrapped in black clothes and black hats, and no one could see what his expression was at the moment, and what he was thinking.

For this dark mystic master who has cultivated to reach the Nine Heavens, Luo Tong is still quite jealous in his heart. Just the black aura that exudes a compelling momentum all the time makes people feel uneasy, if he moves, who knows what weird and weird dark attribute mystical skills he will perform.

Chu Xinghe finally managed to climb to the side of the ginseng spirit, and at this time, his back was already soaked with sweat, and he took out a pickaxe from the bamboo basket behind him with one free hand and was ready to start digging.

"Wait!" the dark master Liu Xi suddenly opened his mouth and stopped him.

"What are you doing?!" Chu Xinghe asked impatiently.

"If you dig up that ginseng essence directly, you will run away!" Chu Xingfeng explained for the dark master Liu Xi: "Mr. Liu knows how to restrain the Xuan Array, and when he finishes arranging the Xuan Array and restraining the ginseng essence, you can dig it again, and you can ensure that nothing goes wrong!"

Chu Xinghe really wanted to knock it down with a pickaxe, scare the ginseng spirit away, and scatter it in two. But after thinking about it, if he really did this, he probably would have to be ready to die in the abyss. After calculating the gains and losses, Chu Xinghe finally withdrew the pickaxe.

Dark Master Liu Xi stretched out two hands from the black robe, and even wore black gloves on his hands, as if he was afraid of the sun, as long as his body was exposed to the sun, it would disappear.

Liu Xi's hands were linked, constantly changing the Xuan Seal, only to see a faint black qi began to slowly condense in the alternating transformation of the Xuan Seal, gathering more and more thick. At first, it was just a thin cloud of black gas, but later, it had accumulated into a cloud of smoke as thick as ink, billowing and scattering, as if it were alive.

"This is the legendary Secret Attribute Xuangong?" everyone was secretly surprised in their hearts. The black smoke is not like a phantom beast that is simulated by occult arts, but it seems to materialize the mystical power in the air, the black smoke is really presented, and under the sunlight, there is a vague shadow, which is enough to show that it is not a phantom.

"Go, smoke corpse puppet!" Liu Xi pushed with both hands, and the ghost-like black smoke turned into a thick black gas and rushed towards Chu Xinghe. Chu Xinghe was shocked, but because he was climbing with one hand and holding a pickaxe in the other, he could only watch the black qi crash into him, and then tightly wrapped around his skin like a maggot attached to the bone, and he shuddered.

"What are you doing!" Luo Tong shouted sharply, obviously questioning that the dark mystic master was not casting some kind of Xuan Array that restrained the spirit of ginseng, but intended to harm Chu Xinghe.

"Luo Huwei doesn't have to be nervous, this is Mr. Liu's unique Xuangong "Shadow Technique", a legendary terrifying technique that can kill people in the invisible!" Ouyang Xun obviously had seen Liu Xi's dark Xuangong, and answered for Liu Xi first.

Chu Xinghe was possessed by black qi, and apart from being extremely uncomfortable in his heart, he didn't feel any discomfort physically. After the black qi lingered on his body for a while, it all gathered together as if consciously, surging towards the foot of Chu Xinghe, and then quietly blended into the shadow at the foot of Chu Xinghe and disappeared.

Liu Xi connected several Xuan Seals with both hands, until the last Xuan Seal was completed, and said easily: "Okay." Then he withdrew his hands and rejoined the black robe.

"You can start digging. Chu Xingfeng said towards Chu Xinghe.

Chu Xinghe didn't say a word, and with a pickaxe, he knocked down on the rock where the ginseng essence grew. Sure enough, the ginseng spirit was not knocked away by his pickaxe. Chu Xingfeng and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Chu Xinghe continued to dig, in order to prevent himself from falling down, Chu Xinghe grabbed a rock with one hand, and waved his pickaxe with the other, digging like this for about half an hour, tired and tired, if it weren't for his physique that was different from ordinary people, he would have been tired and fell off the cliff.

Finally, the ginseng spirit loosened. Chu Xinghe threw away the pickaxe and pulled it out with his hands. With all my strength, I finally pulled out the ginseng essence. Holding it in his hand, there were bursts of energy fluctuations from the ginseng essence that was the thickness of a baby's arm. A breath of invigorating breath came to his nose, Chu Xinghe took a deep breath, and he felt that he had inhaled a surging aura of heaven and earth, moisturizing the sour muscles in his body, and making his tired body recover a little.

This ginseng essence really lives up to its name, just smelling the smell has such a refreshing and tiring effect, if you swallow it, I don't know what it will become.

A thought flashed through Chu Xinghe's mind: If he ate this ginseng essence directly now, would there be any amazing changes in his body? If he could turn the dragon ball in the dantian into a mystical cyclone, how good would it be! Unfortunately, even so, if he ate the ginseng essence, it was estimated that Chu Xingfeng and the others would really kill him. After calculating the gains and losses, Chu Xinghe put the ginseng essence into the bamboo basket and began to climb back to the edge of the cliff.

Chu Xingfeng and the others saw Chu Xinghe pull out the ginseng essence, and their faces were flushed with red light, and they finally got it!

Seeing that Chu Xinghe was about to climb back to the edge of the cliff, a trace of killing intent flashed in Chu Xingfeng's eyes, and he took a step forward and was ready to make a move. How do you know that he was blocked by a burly body, Luo Tong glared at Chu Xingfeng angrily, he had already expected Chu Xingfeng to have such a move.

"Luo Tong, what are you doing!?" Chu Xingfeng scolded angrily.

"That's exactly what I wanted to ask you!" Rotong asked rhetorically, without the slightest hesitation.

"You dare to stop me?" Chu Xingfeng clenched his fists: "Don't forget that you are my personal guard, but now you have to protect others?!"

"As a Heavenly Rank Guardian of the Zhennan Palace, as long as I am a person from the Zhennan Palace, no matter who is in danger, I will protect him!" Luo Tong said with great righteousness.

"Uncle Luo Tong, thank you!" Chu Xinghe had already climbed back, and at this moment, he naturally understood that Chu Xingfeng had decided to kill the killer, only to see that he was holding the ginseng essence in his hand, standing on the edge of the cliff, as long as he took another step back, he would fall down.

"Young Master Xinghe, you hand over the ginseng essence to them, and your subordinates are responsible for taking you away safely!" Luo Tong stood in front of Chu Xinghe, said without looking back, and then looked at Chu Xingfeng again, and said in a consultative tone: "Young Master Xingfeng, what do you think of this?"

"Hmph, Luo Tong, you have disappointed Young Master Ben too much!" Chu Xingfeng said coldly: "I have to kill Chu Xinghe today! If you know each other, get out of my way quickly! He Chu Xinghe is just an adopted son, and now he is a waste who can't cultivate Xuangong, you only have disadvantages and no benefits for you to oppose me for him, you think about it yourself!"

Luo Tong was about to say something, but Chu Xinghe behind him spoke: "Uncle Luo Tong, your kindness Xinghe has understood." He's right, it's a very unwise choice to go against the future little prince for the sake of me, you go away and let him kill me!"

"Young Master Xinghe......" Luo Tong listened to Chu Xinghe's words, and felt sad for a while. This Chu Xinghe is so sensible and well-behaved at a young age that people can't bear it. What he said is unreasonable, he just wants Luo Tong to watch Chu Xinghe die in front of him, if King Zhennan asks him, how can he explain it, so that he can escape the unrest of his conscience!

"That's a lot of nonsense!" Ouyang Xun spit out impatiently, and directly bypassed Luo Tong to Chu Xinghe, and said sharply: "Chu Xinghe, hand over the ginseng essence in your hand, we can still keep your whole corpse!"

"This fart is so loud and loud!" Chu Xinghe sneered: "Everyone is dead, what does it matter if there are no corpses!"

"Then don't blame me for being rude!" Ouyang Xun's face changed instantly, and with a pinch of the Xuan Seal in his hand, a brown Xuan Force attached to his fist, and he was about to rush over and kill the killer.

"If you dare to take a step forward, I will throw the ginseng spirit down the cliff!" Chu Xinghe made a gesture to throw the ginseng spirit off the cliff, and said without fear.

"Hehe, if you can do it, just try it!" Ouyang Xun sneered nonchalantly.

"Don't think I don't dare! Provoke me, everyone slaps and stares!" Chu Xinghe said and was about to throw the ginseng essence down, but who knew that the hand holding the ginseng essence actually stopped stiffly in the air, unable to move.

Not only that hand, but even the other hand, no, the feet, the body, all of them couldn't move!

"What's going on!?" Chu Xinghe broke out in a cold sweat.

"Have you forgotten the Dark Shadow Technique that Mr. Liu performed just now?" Ouyang Xun said triumphantly: "I expected you to come to such a trick, so when Mr. Liu used the Binding Xuan Array just now, he integrated the smoke corpse puppet into your shadow by the way, in other words, your current body has been controlled by Mr. Liu with the Shadow Technique." He wants you to wipe your neck and kill yourself, and you will definitely kill yourself by wiping your neck!"

Speaking of which, Ouyang Xun laughed almost pervertedly.

"I... Fuck, you, mom!" Chu Xinghe gritted his teeth with hatred, he had never scolded rudely, and even scolded his mother.

Liu Xi, who was wrapped in black clothes, took a step forward, stretched out his hands from his robes, pinched the Xuan Seal with his hands, and saw the wisps of black qi extending out like silk threads, connecting to the shadow cast by Chu Xinghe on the ground.

This is "Shadow Trick", a weird and mysterious dark attribute Xuangong!

"Okay, now you can obediently hand over the ginseng essence!" Chu Xingfeng said triumphantly, that Liu Xi pinched the Xuanyin, and the black qi on his five fingers began to pull, and Chu Xinghe felt that his hand was throwing the ginseng essence out of obedience.

Chu Xingfeng caught the ginseng essence with one hand, turned around and said without looking back: "Don't let him die so happily!"
