Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 532 - 245: Layers of Trickery

Tonight, there is no wind, only stars.

Stars spread across like a game of Go, illuminating the sky brilliantly.

Last night’s heavy rain cleansed the whole world.

Beneath the night sky, Liuyin City is tranquil.

Inside the City Lord Manor, lamps are brightly lit, with patrolling disciples hurriedly passing by, only to disappear in the blink of an eye.

In this world, things often have two sides.

Where there is light, there must be darkness.

And in those dark shadows untouched by light, figures suddenly emerge.

Light as feathers, silent as phantoms.

They move stealthily in every dark corner of the City Lord Manor, their Qinggong unpredictable and strange.

They move extremely fast, clearly with a plot in mind.

In just a moment, a group of black-clothed men had gathered together.

The leader stretched out a hand to point, and several people, like shadows, surged into the courtyard.

Some quietly pressed against the walls, others hidden in corners.

The leader reached out his hand, and the door to the room instantly opened.

In the room, someone was resting in bed.

Sensing something amiss, they suddenly turned over and rose.

Looking toward the door.

Under the starry night, a breeze blew in from the front of the door, yet no one was seen.

Lu Yuan seemed to let out a sigh of relief:

"Where did this evil wind come from?"

Just about to get up to close the door, he noticed a cluster of shadow on the ground.

Without a person, how could there be a shadow?

His complexion changed immediately, but before he could respond, the shadow suddenly skimmed across the floor towards Lu Yuan’s window in the blink of an eye.

Lu Yuan slapped the bed and rose into the air.

The shadow also shot up from the ground.

But what kind of shadow was it?

As it rose, it suddenly inflated like it was being pumped full of air.

Facial features abruptly appeared, body pitch black, eyes and mouth hollow and empty.

This was none other than a black human skin!

"Shadow Magic!?"

Lu Yuan immediately recognized it and threw a palm strike.

Lu Yuan extended his palm in an attack, and the human skin reciprocated with its own strike.

As the palms met, Lu Yuan felt an empty gust of wind where he struck.

The inflated human skin had already wrapped around his wrist.

Nevertheless, Lu Yuan, as a prominent disciple of the Ziyang Sect, possessed extraordinary martial arts skills.

Seeing this, without a second thought, he shook off the grip, and with a quiver of his Inner Strength, he flung the human skin to the ground.

Landing, it seemed to stiffen slightly, but in the blink of an eye, it became agile again, flipping back up and pouncing towards Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan did not wish to struggle with this human skin shadow.

The Shadow Magic of Eternal Night Valley was extraordinary.

Using human skin as a shadow, the skin had naturally gone through extensive tempering and was specially refined using unique methods.

Although it originated from human skin, after the process, it became impervious to blade and sword.

However, the person controlling the shadow’s level of martial arts, techniques, and skills, as well as the number and strength of the shadows used, varied.

Skilled practitioners could manipulate multiple ghostly shadows, ten or twenty at a time, surrounding one like a horde of specters, making it almost impossible to break free.

The most common practice was one person, one shadow.

The most crucial point is that a person controls the shadow!

Thus, the shadow is not the main body; the person is the key.

These shadows cannot be hammered or torn, but the controlling person can be fought and killed.

It is indeed a poor strategy to struggle with this shadow here.

The best course of action is to find the person behind the shadow.

And the distance between the shadow and its controller will never be too great.

Often within ten or twenty meters.

Lu Yuan made a decision in an instant and immediately sprung towards the window.

Just as he was about to leap out, he saw another dark shadow pouring into the room like water from the cracks of the window.

It quickly expanded and lunged towards him.

Lu Yuan’s expression darkened, and he suddenly performed a thousand jin drop to press down his body; his toes barely touched the ground, but his expression drastically changed.

Because, in this brief moment, four or five shadows had appeared in front and behind him.

They surrounded him completely, all the shadows leaping up and attacking as one.

Lu Yuan wanted to break through the encirclement, but as he moved, a shadow latched onto his ankle.

He hastily tried to shake it off with his Inner Strength, but felt a tightness on his hand as another shadow coiled around his wrist.

With one hand and one foot bound, half of his capabilities were gone before he could free the shadows on his limbs with his Inner Strength.

Another shadow wrapped around his waist, twisting up his body like a supple water snake, and in an instant, it had encircled his neck.

Several eyeless, hollow-faced human skins quietly stared at Lu Yuan from all directions.

Emanating a chilling, ghastly aura.

The grip of the shadows around him grew tighter and tighter!

Lu Yuan bellowed in anger, but even the Pure Yang Inner Power of the Ziyang Sect could not free him at this moment.

At the same time, the doors of the room burst open, and figures poured in.

The leading person spread out his fingers, and with each flex of his fingers, the human skin shadows grew more animated.

It was evident that all these shadows were under his control.

Lu Yuan looked up, his face turning ashen:

"You... Evil People of Eternal Night Valley, how did you appear here... in my Liuyin City?"

"Within Liuyin City, the Seven Sects stand guard, for now, with Ziyang being the strongest.

"Brother Lu... It has been a long time since we’ve seen each other."

The leader from Eternal Night Valley spoke softly:

"My lord has important matters to attend to tonight. We merely borrow Brother Lu’s command for a moment..."
