Xia Yan gestured with his hand to interrupt Hou Xuns greeting and signaled him to lie down on the sofa. Hou Xun imdiately followed up.
Although Hou Xiaotian was pretty sure this person was Xia Yan, he had no plans to lay this out bare. He stood to the side emotionally in wait and watched Xia Yan proceed with the treatnt.
Xia Yan fished the Virus Horcrux from his pocket and placed it on top of Hou Xuns stomach while hiding it from Hou Xiaotians view. Then, he began chanting the treatnt spell in a low voice
The Horcrux absorbed the virus elents once again, and in result, Hou Xun felt his body beco even more comfortable. He had not felt this relaxed in ages.
Hou Xiaotian was also pleasantly surprised as the change in his fathers expression had already made it clear to him that the treatnt was working. He held his breath in fear that it might influence Xia Yans actions.
[This absolutely isnt a dical skill. Xia Yan is definitely soone with extraordinary abilities!]
The gaze with which Hou Xiaotian looked at Xia Yan not just contained utmost gratefulness, but also a hint of reverence. The favor of having ones father saved from the throes of death as well as witnessing a formidable and enigmatic power was enough to utterly topple the world view of an ordinary university student.
After the Horcrux had absorbed all the virus elents, Xia Yan withdrew his hand and collected the Horcrux back into his pocket. Then, he nodded at Hou Xiaotian and turned around to leave the residence.
Thank you! Thank you Hou Xun stood with excitent all over his face. He could sense the state of this body, and he didnt know what else to tell this enigmatic man except for words of gratitude.
Thank you! Hou Xiaotian chased after Xia Yan to express his gratitude. He, however, just gestured with his hand for Hou Xiaotian to return.
You can trust ! Im willing to beco your assistant or even a follower as long as youre willing! Hou Xiaotian said after lowering his voice.
Xia Yan stopped walking as he wasnt expecting Hou Xiaotian to say such words. There were two reasons as to why he had treated Hou Xun, one was for his friendship with Hou Xiaotian, and the other was to test the effects of virus-type undead magic. He had no intention of getting repaid by Hou Xiaotian for it.
Hence, he nodded at Hou Xiaotian, but said nothing, and quickened his pace as he walked over towards the stairsthe stairs of an apartnt with an elevator was barren of people as always.
Hou Xiaotian clenched his fists as he watched Xia Yans figure disappear. A fervent expression took over his face, Xia Yan, youll certainly need in the future, and at that ti, I will beco your most reliable assistant!
Xia Yan was obviously unaware that he had won a follower because of the rulers aura that surrounded him. He descended the stairs cautiously, and fortunately, no one was using the stairs at this ti.
After reaching the corner of the district, Xia Yan was about to take off the magicians robe he had donned, but he stopped when he sensed a dangerous aura behind him. He turned around and saw that a person had appeared five ters away from him before he had even realized it.
As the lighting was too dim, he could only see the outline of this person. However, he was sure this person was not a guard. This did not an he was afraid, as his body had beco much stronger than ordinary humans by now. He had the confidence to bring down the person before him even without using magic.
Xia Yan said nothing, and neither did the other person, so the mood had taken a strange turn. Xia Yan suddenly realized that the person before him was not an ordinary human, so he reached inside his robe to bring the Virus Horcrux out. He was prepared to use magic as long as the person before him showed even the slightest movent.
Did you use magic at the provincial hospital two days ago? The person facing him finally spoke. As they had a very neutral-sounding young voice, so it was difficult to determine their gender.
Xia Yans heart skipped a beat, and he imdiately ca to the conclusion that the person before him was none other than the person who was observing him on that day. He answered in a calm voice, I dont know what youre talking about.
Im called Yuan Tianlin. I have a store on Fengshui Street, Xia Yan thought that the person would say so bullshit line like You dont need to know who I am, similar to a character from TV dramas. Hence, hearing such a candid introduction was entirely out of his expectations.
This also ant that the other side had full confidence in their strength and had no fear of revealing their identity. In that split second, Xia Yan felt that his shady appearance really fell short of the noble image portrayed by the other person.
However, this thought flitted past in the next mont as it was impossible for him to change his core principle of hiding his identity. He didnt need to be able to do sothing that others were capable of doing.
The possession incident at the underground parking lot of the Computer Plaza, you were behind that too, right? Yuan Tianlin questioned once again. Although his tone was quite flat, Xia Yan could already feel that danger had arrived at his doorsteps.
Did the Wen family hire you? Xia Yan asked calmly, but the air around him had already beco suffused with the scent of gunpowder.
I cured Wen Yiping, but Fck!
After hearing Yuan Tianlin admit that he cured Wen Yipin and adding on the fact that he had co to find Xia Yan so late into the night, Xia Yan had logically categorized him as the enemy.
This was unlike the duel with the student, Liu Mo, from his university, but instead a real threat. If he were to get caught by this Yuan Tianlin and have his identity revealed, Xia Yan would definitely have to face the crazy retaliation of the Wen family. As the Wen family held a lot of authority, it would be easy for them to place criminal charges on Xia Yan and have him thrown into prison. They could do whatever they wanted to with him then and may even harm his master and fellow villagers.
Xia Yan couldnt allow such a thing to happen, so head to nip this threat in the bud.
Taking down Yuan Tianlin and eliminating his mory using Lingering Spirits was the optimal plan in his mind. However, in case he could not accomplish this successfully a decisive glimr flashed past Xia Yans eyes as he gripped the Horcrux that had absorbed virus elents just recently. After supplying it with so magic power, he pointed it at Yuan Tianlin, and a blue wisp of fla shot out from the Horcruxs mouth towards him.
Yuan Tianlin cursed out loud in the middle of speaking and dodged the blue wisp of fla with lightning-quick movents before shouting at Xia Yan, What the hell are you doing? Stop attacking, I Fck! What kind of magic did you use?!
He turned around and watched as the trunk of the small tree that got hit by the blue wisp of fla turned into a shade of grey, losing all hints of vitality.
That unremarkable blue wisp of fla was releasing a terrifying aura right now, and Yuan Tianlin could feel that a terrible thing would have happened if he had got hit by it.
Xia Yan simply didnt give him a chance to speak and flung another wisp of fla at him. He also began to chant silently at the sa ti, resulting in the undead elent gathering around him from the surroundings. An evil wind suddenly blew across the districts corner where they were standing.
Such a potent Yin energy! Yuan Tianlins eyes lit up, Its really the sa power that remained Wen Yipings body!
After dodging the blue wisp of fla, Yuan Tianlin grasped with his wrist, and a foot-long wooden sword appeared in his grip. He also began chanting a spell simultaneously.
[This guy is so agile!]
Xia Yan felt astonished when he saw Yuan Tianlin dodge those extrely fast wisps with so much ease.
If the wisp had hit Yuan Tianlin, his bodys condition would have debilitated, and that would have made it easier for Xia Yan to subdue him. He would not have been that much of a threat since Xia Yan would have had full control over his life and death.
Xia Yan naturally had no intention of really infecting Yuan Tianlin with cancer. He would have withdrawn the virus elent after giving Yuan Tianlin a taste of it.
This wasnt truly a magic spell and was rely the simplest use of virus elents. Although it wasnt that lethal, it was an excellent thod to control an opponent.
Xia Yan felt even more startled after seeing Yuan Tianlin summon a wooden sword in his hand. [Peachwood Sword? Is this guy a Daoist from Mt. Mao or what? Would his magic be as formidable as the Daoists from the movies?]
The two feared each other and hence hastened to complete their spells.
Lingering Spirits! Another wooden skull had appeared in Xia Yans hand at so point in ti, and it was linked together with the Soul Storage Horcrux. After he finished the spell, a white shadow erged out from the wooden skull and pounced towards Yuan Tianlin.
Bzzt! The dim street lights kept flickering, and this made the mood even eerier.
Lightning Strike! Yuan Tianlin also finished his spell and pointed his wooden sword towards the sky; the tip of the blade also crackled with lightning. The street lights flickered even faster and exploded into pieces suddenly, which caused the corner to sink into darkness.
A willow branch-like thin lightning bolt dropped from the sky and struck the crown of Xia Yans head accurately.
Argh, fcker! This lightning bolt interrupted Xia Yan from finishing his second magic spell and followed by his body shivering uncontrollably, his short hair spiked outwards, just like needles.
On the other side, the mont Yuan Tianlin finished his pose of pointing his sword towards the Heavens, he saw a white shadow right before his face and turned pale in fright imdiately. He struck down with his sword, but this white shadow coiled around his sword and dodged the hit like a living entity and squeezed into his head.
From then on, Yuan Tianlin kept flailing his sword to strike at the non-existent thing.
The two of them had finished their spells at the sa mont and ended up striking each other simultaneously too. As a result, they had both beco incapacitated.
Xia Yan felt an unbearable pain all over his body. Even the uncontrollable jerking of his body was nothing compared to that fact that the lightning bolt had used his body as a conductor and eliminated all the virus elents he had gathered inside the Virus Horcrux that he had absorbed from Hou Xiaotians father. This lightning was the nesis of the virus elent, and also restrained the undead elent within Xia Yans body. It had even almost charged inside the magic tower within his mind.
[Fck! This Mt. Mao Daoist couldnt be my nesis, right?] Xia Yan grumbled internally.
On the other side, Yuan Tianlins condition wasnt any better. He had struck the wall with his sword under the influence of the illusion, and his Peachwood Sword ended up breaking into two pieces.
At the sa ti, Yuan Tianlin realized his situation and stopped moving. He chanted a spell as fast as he could and slapped the leather pouch at his waist, following which a golden light flew out from within and circled around his body to guard him. He then touched his forehead with his finger and sent a spark of lightning into his mind to kill the spirit.
[Fck! This guy really has too many tricks!]
Xia Yans lips twitched as he watched Yuan Tianlin. The golden light circling around his body had really shocked Xia Yan. [This thing isnt so mystic creature hes raising, right? He has a magic artifact, a mystic creature, and can even use lightning. Why the hell are you so strong?]
[Fortunately, my recovery speed is faster than his. I just need to buff myself up with the Vampiric Curse, and I wouldnt need to be afraid of losing to him!]
Whos there? Just when Xia Yan was about to recover to his normal state, a beam of light flashed over towards his direction. The night guard of the neighborhood had co over after hearing the noise.
Xia Yan gave Yuan Tianlin, who still had his eyes closed as he struggled to eliminate the spirit inside his mind one last look before turning around to climb up a tree beside the wall. He leaped over the wall covered with barbs and landed on the other side before disappearing into the depths of the alley.
The golden light circled around Yuan Tianlin twice after Xia Yan left and returned inside the leather pouch, leaving behind Yuan Tianlin alone in the place with his finger still pointed at his forehead, still unable to relax his guard.
Hey, you. What are you doing here? The night guard flashed the light over and approached Yuan Tianlin cautiously. He was taken aback when he saw a pretty, long-haired young man dressed in ancient robes standing there in a weird posture. He scread in horror and ran away.
Anyone would have been frightened out of their wits if they saw a long-haired man dressed in ancient robes standing alone in the darkness while adopting a weird posture. If it werent for the fact that Yuan Tianlins hand was secured flat to the side, the night guard would have perhaps assud he was a hopping zombie from the legends.
Phew! Yuan Tianlin finally opened his eyes after the night guard had run away to call for help. His long eyelashes fluttered, and his eyes rolled all around as doubt overca him.
Where is this, and why am I here?
He looked around, and after pondering for a mont, his expression changed significantly, Ive lost my mories of the past two days Was it done by the person who cursed Wen Yipin?
If Xia Yan had seen this scene, he would have sighed in relief. Although Yuan Tianlin had eliminated the spirit in ti, the magic spell had still erased his mories of the past two days.
Ill go into seclusion and recover the lost mories first. And then, Ill look for that guy again to settle things!
