Online Fortune Telling: Your Son Has Another Dad
Chapter 637 - 635: Senior Xiao
Yang Qingshu shouted for a long time, but did not see Xiao Yan appear.
"No way, is this Senior Xiao really so unreliable?"
Just as he was furiously complaining in his heart, he suddenly felt the surrounding temperature begin to rise rapidly.
At this time, the old man had just bent down, and the foul-smelling drool was dripping on Yang Qingshu’s face.
But just as he was about to bite into Yang Qingshu’s plump, smooth face, his action suddenly halted.
"Who’s there?"
The old man straightened up abruptly, widened his eyes, and shouted harshly.
"A petty trick, and you dare to show off in front of an expert?"
With a light shout, a massive fireball suddenly shot in from outside the stone temple.
The fierce flames instantly engulfed everything inside the stone temple.
The old man didn’t even have time to say a second sentence before he was engulfed by the flames.
Accompanied by a scream, the old man was directly burned to ash.
"Xiao... Senior Xiao?"
Seeing this, Yang Qingshu couldn’t help but show a bit of joy on his face.
Old Taoist Zhenyuan was most skilled at the Talismanic Technique.
And this Senior Xiao Yan was proficient in the Alchemy Path and also skilled in Fire Tao Skills.
Right now, besides Senior Xiao, who else could unleash such a world-melting fire?
Just as Yang Qingshu was filled with the joy of rebirth, everything around him suddenly froze in place.
Even the raging flames were completely frozen.
"What the heck!"
This scene surprised him greatly.
What in the world is going on here?
Soon, everything began to crack inch by inch like a shattered mirror.
Yang Qingshu suddenly felt his vision go black, and when he regained his sight, he found himself lying inside the stone temple.
Next to him lay Tie Xiong, Marco, and others.
However, some people seemed to be still alive, while others were already bloody and had completely stopped breathing.
He recalled everything he had just encountered; it seemed that everyone had experienced the same illusion upon entering the stone temple.
Yet some survived, while others died at the hands of that old man.
"Senior Xiao!"
Yang Qingshu felt a pang of sadness in his heart, then saw a figure slowly walking into the stone temple.
The person was dressed very modernly and fashionably.
However, he wore a white mask on his face.
Although he had never met this Senior Xiao directly, he had heard Director He and others mention this Senior Xiao.
He knew that this Senior Xiao never revealed his true face and always wore a white mask.
After entering the Divine Temple, Xiao Yan’s eyes didn’t meet Yang Qingshu’s gaze but directly looked forward.
Yang Qingshu felt quite awkward, gave a sheepish smile, and looked in the same direction.
Inside the stone temple, there was a ferocious and terrifying Evil Ghost statue.
There was no doubt it was a statue of the Blood God.
Beneath the Blood God statue sat an elder in a black robe.
Yang Qingshu glanced at him and realized this elder was the corpse-eating old man from the illusion realm.
At that moment, the old man no longer had the previous ferocity and viciousness; black blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, and a gleam of fear was in his eyes.
"Who... who are you?"
The voice of the black-robed old man was particularly piercing, sounding like a knife scraping on glass.
"The one who will kill you!"
Xiao Yan replied coldly.
Then, with a wave of his sleeve, several clusters of fireballs suddenly appeared in front of him.
This scene intensified the terror in the black-robed old man’s eyes.
He hurriedly got up, knelt on the ground, and begged, "Immortal, spare my life! Immortal, spare my life!"
"I was also deceived by the Divine Envoy of the Blood God Sect, forced to guard this place..."
"Heh!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan responded with a cold laugh.
Those clusters of fireballs shot out, precisely hitting the black-robed old man and the Evil Ghost statue behind him.
The flames burned fiercely, rapidly engulfing the black-robed old man.
Along with a scream, the black-robed old man and the Evil Ghost statue were directly reduced to a pile of black ash.
Yang Qingshu witnessed the entire process, his mouth slightly open, too shocked to close it for a moment.
Recalling his complete helplessness against the black-robed old man in the dream realm.
Yet in Xiao Yan’s hands, just a few fireballs were enough to instantly kill the black-robed old man.
This overwhelming strength was indeed terrifying!
Of course, what excited him the most was Xiao Yan’s stylish mannerism.
Powerful, cold, ruthless...
No need for too much chatter, just kill you outright!
He deeply understood the trope of a character dying from talking too much!
This is something well worth learning...
Meanwhile, as the black-robed old man was burned to ash, Tie Xiong and others who had been in a coma awoke one after another.
"Senior Xiao!"
Tie Xiong couldn’t help but exclaim when he saw the masked man in front of him.
This Senior Xiao really did live up to his word!
If it weren’t for him, they might have all died in the illusion realm they just went through.
Marco, Kaine, and others, who survived by luck, were also secretly observing the masked man.
Based on the information they had received, this person was supposed to be Xiao Yan, a cultivator from the old era like Zhenyuan.
But unlike Zhenyuan, Xiao Yan did not like to show his face.
So it was their first time seeing this powerful cultivator outside of their data.
"Senior Xiao, now that you’ve killed the black-robed old man, how do we get out?"
After standing up from the ground, Yang Qingshu asked curiously.
"People outside the stone temple will tell you how to leave!"
Xiao Yan responded faintly, and then his figure quickly faded until he vanished before everyone, leaving them all bewildered.
"Ahem..."
Yang Qingshu coughed awkwardly and said helplessly, "This Senior Xiao really has a unique personality!"
Tie Xiong also smiled wryly.
However, when his gaze fell upon the few corpses inside the stone temple, his smile instantly turned to sadness.
The original joint investigation team, including Tie Xiong and Yang Qingshu, had ten members.
But inside the illusion realm created by the black-robed old man, not everyone managed to survive.
Five people died within, their bodies now a bloody mess.
After they mourned the death of their comrades for two minutes, Tie Xiong, following Xiao Yan’s earlier instructions, went outside the stone temple.
Marco and the others followed suit.
Only Yang Qingshu stayed behind, picked up the Evil Ghost statue that had previously fallen to the ground, recited a spell, and revived Tongtai, who had "died" once again.
"Are you okay?"
Once Tongtai stood up again, Yang Qingshu asked.
"Nothing much!"
Tongtai moved about a bit and replied with a smile.
After stepping out of the stone temple, Tie Xiong frowned.
This was seen by Yang Qingshu and Tongtai, who were walking out together.
"What’s wrong, Brother Tie?"
Yang Qingshu couldn’t help but ask curiously.
