Chapter 21: The Lingering Shadow of Wuji

  Ye Chen smiled, his hands clasped to his chest, looking at the fat young man's comedic attire, and with a playful heart, he teased: "Robbery! Hand over your money, and I'll let you off the hook!"

  The fat young man was taken aback, then burst out laughing as brightly as a flower: "Today I've met another tough guy! Let's see, are you going to rob us or are we going to rob you?"

  The fat youth had just finished speaking when the thin youth also ran over from the side, pulled out a worn-out axe from his waist and glared at Ye Chen.

  Ye Chen smiled and immediately 'Rapid Cloud Swallow' burst out, in an instant he appeared behind the fat youth's back, slapping his shoulder.

  However, just as Ye Chen touched the fat youth's shoulder, Ye Chen's face changed, and his hand had directly passed through the fat youth's body. Immediately afterwards, the fat youth's body gradually disappeared, as if he was originally just a shadow.

  Ye Chen's face was no longer filled with an expression of disbelief, thinking it was because of the darkness that he had mistaken what he saw, and subconsciously stretched out his hand again to wipe forward.

  Nothing at all!

  "Haha! What's wrong, admit defeat?"

  The fat youth's voice came from behind Ye Chen, and Ye Chen suddenly turned around, looking at the fat youth in surprise: "How did you do it!"

  "Haha, now it's our turn to rob you!"

  The fat young man burst out laughing and suddenly split into two identical figures in front of Ye Chen, both with a smiling face looking at Ye Chen: "Hand over the valuable things!"

  Ye Chen looked at the two identical fat young men in front of him, his face showing a surprised expression. However, after a moment, he shook his head and smiled, then suddenly threw a punch towards the fat young man on the right.

  Bang

  This time, Ye Chen's fist hit the real flesh, and with a loud noise, the fat young man was directly knocked flying by Ye Chen and fell to the ground not far away.

  Looking at the plump young man who had fallen to the ground, Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh and said to himself: "It's too incredible, what kind of martial skill is this!"

  Just now, Ye Chen had already discovered that the illusion just now was due to a mysterious martial skill possessed by this fat guy in front of him. At the same time he observed earlier, he found that the two fat young men in front of him, one had a lively facial expression, and the other always maintained an unchanged appearance without any changes.

  The thin young man who was standing aside, watching his stout nephew being beaten by Ye Chen, had his arrogant expression completely gone, and with a fearful face, he threw the old broken hatchet in his hand to one side with a "bang" sound, and knelt down, shouting loudly: "Spare my life! Spare my life!"

  Ye Chen looked at the young man's appearance and was stunned for a moment. Then, with a dumb smile, he shook his head: "Get up quickly!"

  Immediately, looking at the plump young man who fell to the ground motionless, as if dead, Ye Chen shrugged his shoulders: "I didn't expect that one punch would kill him, it's just as well he's dead, I haven't eaten for three days and don't even know what human flesh tastes like!"

  Actually, Ye Chen saw through the fat youth's act of playing dead at a glance. The punch was thrown by Ye Chen himself, so how could he not know its power? He said this on purpose, looking at these two youths as if they were treasures, and teasing them in a playful way.

  As he spoke, Ye Chen slowly walked towards the fat young man, with a playful smile: "Fat is a bit fat, but it doesn't matter!"

  At this time, the fat young man rolled over and instantly rushed to one side. The speed was so fast that it could be described as lightning-fast, making it hard to imagine that someone with so much flesh could have such agility.

  The fat young man smiled and said: "I'm fat, all my meat is not good to eat!" Then he pointed at the thin young man who was still kneeling on the ground and kept kowtowing, and said to Ye Chen: "Don't look at him with little flesh, his flesh is solid!"

  The thin young man listened to the fat young man, letting Ye Chen eat himself, and hastily said: "Big nephew, you actually let outsiders eat your uncle, wait for it, go back I must tell your father!"

  The fat young man stood still, looking at Ye Chen with a silly smile.

  Ye Chen looked at the fat young man's extremely funny appearance and burst out laughing, then said: "Alright, I won't mess with you guys anymore. What martial skill did you use just now?"

  The fat young man let out a deep breath: "You should have said so earlier, you scared me to death! I thought you were like those people, really eating humans!"

  Upon hearing this, Ye Chen furrowed his brow and asked in confusion: "Those people, which ones? How is it that you've encountered cannibals?"

  As soon as Ye Chen mentioned eating human flesh, the fat youth's face showed a fearful expression, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in a panic: "Speak softly, it's nighttime now, they must be coming out!"

  At this time, the thin young man who was originally kneeling on the side suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, quickly crawled to Ye Chen's feet, tightly hugged Ye Chen's feet and cried out: "Great immortal, save us! If you don't save us, everyone in our village will die!" This excitement made him speak without stuttering.

  Ye Chen looked at the thin young man's appearance, and the puzzled expression on his face became even more serious: "Don't be like this, tell me what's going on."

  A fat young man looked at him and cried out in a hurry: "High~~~~person~~~~~ah, save us!"

  Ye Chen looked at the two of them, and in his heart, he actually wanted to agree to help them. However, after some thought, he realized that with his current cultivation level of only Shattered Body Second Layer, he was far from his previous cultivation level of Shattered Body Eighth Layer. Now, the "person-eater" they spoke of must also have a certain level of cultivation, and with his current Shattered Body Second Layer, he might not be enough to contend with them.

  The fat youth looked at Ye Chen's hesitant appearance, and the black eyeballs in his eyes turned around, remembering that Ye Chen was particularly concerned about his own martial skills earlier. He gritted his teeth, took out a tattered scroll from his bosom, and handed it to Ye Chen: "Senior, this is the martial skill I used just now, I'll give it to you, just ask you to accompany us on a trip!"

  Ye Chen's interest was piqued when he heard that it was the fat youth's martial skill, and he stretched out his hand to take it over.

  Fat young man Ye Chen stretched out his hand to receive it, and hastily shrank back into his arms: "I can give it to you, but you have to help us!"

  Ye Chen smiled slightly and shook his head: "I still don't know if the value of your martial skills can compare to this matter, since it's not possible then forget it!"

  As he spoke, Ye Chen was about to leave.

  Retreat in order to advance! Ye Chen's move was too ruthless, he had accurately grasped the plump youth's mind and knew that he would definitely block his own way.

  A plump young man suddenly became anxious, hastily embracing Ye Chen's leg and said in a crying tone: "Master, I'll give it to you first, don't go!" While speaking, he stuffed the ancient scroll in his hand into Ye Chen's hand.

  Ye Chen smiled slightly and took over the scroll handed over by the plump young man, unrolling it.

  Three Treasures of Wugui's Lingering Shadow!

  "Epiphany!" Ye Chen was taken aback, he had never heard of "epiphany", of course, the epiphany "Swift Thunder Flash" that Ye Chen originally possessed, he didn't know it was an epiphany. When he learned it, the secret room above only inscribed martial skills, not epiphanies.

  Ye Chen continued to look down: "Residual Shadows, there are five layers. When practiced to the Great Completion stage, it can split into six residual shadows, confusing the opponent!"

  First layer double shadow, fragmented body one heavy can practice.

  The second layer of three shadows, nine heavy bodies can be practiced.

  Third layer four shadows, gathering energy one fold can be practiced.

  Fourth layer five shadows, gathering energy nine times can be practiced.

  The fifth layer of six shadows, the yuan dan can be practiced in one go.

  The more he looked, the more shocked he became, Ye Chen's entire spirit was now completely absorbed in it.

  "Shadow! Is the extreme of speed, and the residual shadow produced, sensing the great way of wind, using it to give birth, enlightening its essence..."

  "Enlightenment!" Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the "Xun Lei Shan" technique he had been practicing. A bold idea suddenly emerged in his mind: Could it be that the "Xun Lei Shan" I've been cultivating is also a Wuji? What exactly is Wuji? Why have I never heard of it before? And why does this thing called Wuji rely solely on sudden enlightenment to cultivate, without requiring hard work?

  Then, Ye Chen continued to look down, and after a moment, he frowned, looking at the fat young man who was still kneeling there, and asked in doubt: "Where did you get this scroll from?"
