Novel Full Chapter 1168 456: Opening the Coffin (Part 3)
“You!?”
“What do you mean you?”
Ning Ziheng sneered, “Today’s favor, I, Ning Ziheng, will remember in my heart. Leader Zhuo, let’s wait and see.”
After saying this, he reached out and grabbed, and the fan on the ground immediately flew into his palm.
He casually opened the fan, fanned it a few times, muttering, “Unlucky, really unlucky!”
In a flash, he was already walking far away.
Zhuo Qing gently closed the coffin lid and turned to look at Su Mo:
“Brother, it’s all right now.”
“It’s all right, it’s all right.”
Su Mo said with a smile, “Then we’ll be saying goodbye.”
“Mm.”
Zhuo Qing’s mind was slightly distracted, but he still gestured for those Nanhai Alliance disciples to come over and take the coffin onto the Peng Boat.
Then he personally saw Su Mo and the others onto the Peng Boat, and only when the ship sailed away did he retract his gaze.
Looking up again in the direction Ning Ziheng left, the corner of his mouth slightly raised:
“There’s even such a move…”
…
…
“What a thrilling adventure, what a thrilling adventure!!”
On the Peng Boat, even though they were now far away from the Nanhai Alliance’s big ship.
The boatman couldn’t help but mutter softly:
“If we were a bit unlucky today, we’d have been trapped on this sea!
“But, why didn’t they recognize our master when they clearly opened the coffin for inspection?”
“Perhaps their hearts and minds were fixated only on that Nameless Taoist, so they didn’t look closely?”
Su Mo said with a smile.
“Makes sense, makes sense!”
The boatman nodded repeatedly.
Su Mo then asked, “How far are we now from Yusheng Island?”
“Almost there, almost there, another hour or so and we’ll be there…”
“Good.”
Su Mo said good, but then his finger flew out, and the boatman, shocked and not knowing why, already collapsed weakly onto the ship’s bow.
Wei Ziyi, having had no good sleep last night, watched as Su Mo knocked the boatman over and couldn’t help but turn to look at the coffin:
“Could it be?”
Su Mo just smiled slightly, “Aren’t you coming out yet?”
There was no movement after he spoke.
“Disturbing the dead is ultimately not good. Please, come out.
“The elder in the coffin has been gone for a long time; though preserved well, there are bound to be some changes, and it’s no benefit to stay longer.
“Or, are you waiting for me to sink the coffin into the water so you can escape underwater?”
As Su Mo spoke these words, Wei Ziyi quietly watched the coffin.
Moments after the words fell, the coffin lid gently shifted open.
A middle-aged Taoist sat up from inside, none other than the Nameless Taoist.
He turned his head back to look at the corpse in the coffin and said softly:
“This… is Elder Du?”
“Indeed.”
Su Mo nodded.
“You have a lot of guts.”
The Nameless Taoist’s eyes flashed with a trace of surprise:
“You dare to bring Elder Du’s body onto the Nanhai Alliance’s ship?
“And moreover, you even let them open the coffin to check?
“This is simply playing tricks on the tip of a knife, a slight mistake and you’d lose your life on the spot.”
“What you said is not unreasonable.”
Su Mo nodded, “It’s just that, the one who might lose their life on the spot may not necessarily be me.”
“Hahaha.”
The Nameless Taoist laughed heartily, “When did you find out I was in the coffin?”
“Always knew.”
Su Mo turned back to glance at this Taoist and smiled slightly.
“…Nonsense.”
The Taoist sneered:
“I consider my martial arts to be ordinary, but this Concealing Breath Skill, being the True Inheritance of the Mystical Sect, you being so young, even if you have some tricks, how could you detect me?”
“As for martial arts…”
Su Mo said with a smile, “Ever since that Leader Zhuo insisted on us boarding the ship, I knew you would inevitably use this to escape.”
“…”
The Nameless Taoist frowned slightly, “How did you see that?”
“Zhuo Qing’s blade technique is superb, Heaven’s Will Like a Blade, extraordinary.
“But the martial arts you used… wasn’t your usual style, was it?”
Su Mo shook his head lightly, “Initially, watching you two spar, with the swordsmanship you used, although you could compete with Zhuo Qing, to say to that extent, not necessarily…
“From beginning to end, Zhuo Qing had at least thirteen chances to break your sword moves.
“Yet he just didn’t use them…
“If I couldn’t see even that, then what am I doing traveling the Jianghu?”
“That’s impossible!”
The Nameless Taoist’s face changed dramatically, “We’ve already blended our moves seamlessly, how could you find thirteen flaws?”
Hearing this, Su Mo simply used his finger as a sword, casually mimicking sword moves.
Then he asked, “Is this the move you used?”
“…Yes, this move is called ‘Seven Breaks and Eight Continuations.’ You only looked once and could imitate a third of it, you do have some talent.”
The Nameless Taoist nodded repeatedly.
Su Mo raised an eyebrow, then used his hand as a blade, performing another move, “This is Zhuo Qing’s countermeasure.”
“Mm… The Heavenly Heart Blade, the actual name for this blade technique is [Heavenly Heart Eight Skills].
“This is the third change of the second style, called ‘Sky Bright and Clear Air.’
“What’s wrong with this countermeasure?”
“If the blade tip were half an inch lower… what would you do?”
Hearing this, the Nameless Taoist remained silent.
He just quietly watched Su Mo, and spoke word by word:
“Who are you really?”
This flaw, they weren’t unaware of.
If the blade tip were to go half an inch lower, while it wouldn’t kill the Nameless Taoist on the spot, the subsequent moves couldn’t be executed.
Afterward, he’d be suppressed by Zhuo Qing with the Heavenly Heart Eight Skills, within ten moves, the Nameless Taoist would undoubtedly die!
But this flaw, to spot it, wasn’t truly easy.
They were confident that not only ordinary people wouldn’t see it, even Mo Han might not spot the flaw.
Yet unexpectedly, this young man of unknown origin saw through it casually.
The Nameless Taoist’s face remained calm, but in truth, a storm was raging in his heart.
Su Mo merely smiled slightly:
“I am Su Mo, from Donghuang.
“I have met the Eldest Young Master of the Qi Family.”
“It’s you!?”
The Nameless Taoist suddenly looked up, and after coming to his senses, his mouth twitched:
“This… What nonsense are you talking about?
“I’m just a Nameless Taoist, this time I’m here… Right, on the orders of the Hidden Killing Building, to assassinate Mo Han.
“Moreover, if I were Qi Sheng, how would I dress as a Taoist?
“Wouldn’t that be revealing one’s shortcomings, giving others leverage?”
“I suppose that’s the pretext Master Qi thought of over there?”
Su Mo smiled, “After all, you can’t just fool the Nanhai Alliance as fools, too clean isn’t clean. Framing and shifting blame, sometimes it’s a blessing, not a curse.”
“…”
