Chapter 296: Chapter 296

The coffin man replied again, his face showing no sign of lying.

Su Yan didn’t know if the coffin man was telling the truth or not, so he simply kicked the bandage man beside him unconscious. Then he said, "The question I’m asking you now, I will ask that bandage man again later. If one of your answers doesn’t match up, then you’re done for."

The coffin man felt a chill in his heart, glad that he hadn’t lied just now. Otherwise, when the bandage man woke up later, he feared his life wouldn’t be spared.

Very quickly, Su Yan began to question again. "What is this Incarnation Laboratory you mentioned earlier for?"

"It’s just like the literal meaning: to separate a person’s soul from their body and place it into another body, thereby achieving the purpose of replacing the flesh." The coffin man didn’t hold back and continued to explain, "In this way, not only can strongmen be mass-produced, but it can also achieve immortality to a certain extent, eternal and undying."

After hearing this, Su Yan said, "So you mean it’s a one-on-one exchange, sacrificing another person’s body to satisfy your own needs?"

"Correct," the coffin man nodded.

Su Yan laughed. "Then you guys really aren’t human. If there really is an eighteenth level of hell, you’re definitely going there after you die."

The coffin man agreed, "Honestly, yes. To think we actually committed such heinous acts! We’re not human; we deserve to go to the eighteenth level of hell after death!" Every word from the coffin man was dripping with ingratiating tones.

"So you do have some self-awareness." Having said that, Su Yan continued to ask, "Do you know a girl who calls herself the Paper Taoist?"

The coffin man thought for a moment, then shook his head after confirming he didn’t know her. "I don’t know her."

Su Yan kept asking, "She’s a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl named Xu Xinyi. She seems to be a female streamer too, often goes live to hunt for Yin entities."

"I’ve never heard of such a person," the coffin man shook his head again.

Su Yan’s gaze fell on the Talisman paper man beside him. Very quickly, the Talisman paper man also shook his head, indicating he didn’t know.

"Alright, I’ve finished asking my questions. Do you have anything you want to add?" Su Yan asked the two conscious men on the ground. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚑𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚑𝙣𝙚𝙩

"No," both men shook their heads simultaneously.

"Is that so..." Su Yan pondered for a moment, then said, "Then you may go on your way."

With that said, Su Yan suddenly kicked out fiercely. Immediately after, BANG! The Talisman paper man, who had been breathing just a moment before, exploded like a watermelon in the next instant, dying on the spot.

"Ugh!" Su Yan felt somewhat nauseous. It was his first time killing someone, and it made him feel physically uncomfortable.

"What... what are you doing!" Seeing the Talisman paper man lying beside him, deader than dead, the coffin man asked in horror.

Su Yan took a deep breath, calming the discomfort in his heart a bit. Then, with a smile, he said, "Isn’t it obvious? I’m afraid of retaliation from your Yin Yang Union, so I had to silence you by killing." He paused. "Oh no, that’s wrong. Not ’silence by killing,’ because you don’t deserve to be called human."

Having said that, several more BANGS were heard. All four members of the Yin Yang Union were kicked to death, dying instantly on the spot. None were spared.

After dealing with these four, Su Yan approached the coffin man’s black coffin and moved the coffin lid aside with his spiritual power.

"Did you manage to kill the young man?" The owner of the ancient house sat up from inside the black coffin and immediately asked this.

However, when he then saw the four corpses on the ground, his face changed dramatically. Without a word, he leaped out of the coffin and bolted toward the forest ahead.

He thought that since the four members of the Yin Yang Union were dead, it meant that the young man’s strength was at least Half-step Epic Level, and he might even be at the Epic level. In the face of such an Evolution Strongman, Airwalking was nothing but a death sentence. Only by running into the forest full of obstacles might he find a slim chance of survival.

THUD... BANG! The owner of the ancient house hadn’t taken two steps before Su Yan overtook him and kicked him to the ground, and he couldn’t get up again.

After killing the owner of the ancient house, Su Yan returned to the spot and began to inventory his spoils of war.

[Fixation Talisman]: A yellow paper engraved with a spell, which, when affixed to the forehead of a creature, can render it immobile.

[Luoyang Spade]: Capable of breaking through all ancient tomb seals, reaching straight to the heart of the earth.

[Yin and Yang Corpse Wrapping Cloth]: Commonly used to preserve corpses, making the flesh eternally indestructible.

[Yin and Yang Strap]: Extremely tough and can stretch at will. Upon blood recognition, it can be controlled with spiritual power.

[Soul Storing Coffin]: When a creature lies inside, its soul will separate from the body, and the body will be able to come and go as it pleases.

It was only when he saw the item information for the Bronze ancient coffin that Su Yan remembered the owner’s adopted son’s soul was still bound inside. He immediately went over, lifted the coffin lid, and released the trapped soul.

Once released, the adopted son’s soul immediately began cursing, "You beasts will not die a good death! After death, you must go down to the eighteenth layer of hell..." He was cut off mid-sentence, suddenly falling silent. Because, to his astonishment, he discovered that the four members of the Yin Yang Union and his evil adopted father were all lying on the ground, lifeless and deader than dead.

"What’s going on?" The adopted son, in his soul state, was utterly baffled, thinking it was all a dream.

It wasn’t until Su Yan said from the side, "I killed them," that he accepted the reality before him, though his heart still reeled.

But soon enough, he threw his head back and laughed. "Good riddance! They deserved to die! Alas, it’s a pity my younger brother and sister died too..."

After saying that, the adopted son’s obsession vanished, and his soul dissipated along with it.

"Dead?" Su Yan didn’t immediately comprehend what had happened. How had the ancient house owner’s adopted son just vanished like that? He didn’t dwell on it for long, though. He figured he didn’t really know the guy anyway, so what did it matter if he was dead? After all, he hadn’t wronged him and had even avenged him. It was already good enough that he hadn’t built him a Level Seven Floating Butcher.

With that thought, Su Yan collected all the spoils on the ground into his System Backpack. Then he walked over to where Sister Zhou was lying unconscious, kicked her well-cushioned spot, and said, "Hey Sister Zhou, how long are you planning to play dead?"

Sister Zhou did not respond, seemingly having really passed out.

Su Yan went on to say, "I’m not going to kill you to silence you. Get up already and help me clean up this mess."

Sister Zhou still did not respond.

Seeing this, Su Yan sighed. "Well, it looks like she’s dead. I’ll dig a hole and bury her in a bit."

With that said, he took out the Luoyang Spade he had just obtained from his System Backpack and, without another word, started digging a hole on the spot.

Noticing that Su Yan was really digging a hole, Sister Zhou, who had been pretending to be unconscious, sprang up immediately. "I just woke up! I didn’t see anything before! I didn’t hear anything!" After saying that, she conscientiously began to clean up the scene, occasionally glancing at Su Yan, worried that he might suddenly strike her.

Su Yan watched, speechless. Am I that bad? Does she really need to be this wary of me? Enough of this.
