Chapter 1049 Pandora's Box
The murmur of the crow was as soft as a lover's whisper, easily disappearing into the sea breeze.
As he said this, several men dressed similarly to him in black suddenly appeared around the glass coffin.
These people seemed to appear out of thin air, and they were all carrying weapons.
At that moment, Fengtianyu's entire attention was focused on the glass coffin in front of him, and retreating at this point would be tantamount to wasting all his previous efforts.
These people must have realized this as well, which is why they appeared in front of him so openly and brazenly raised their weapons at him.
These people attempted to win through a sneak attack with multiple people, but Ye Wanxi and her group were not to be underestimated.
In the blink of an eye, the group rushed to Fengtianyu's side and began fighting with the men in black.
Surprisingly, these people were no weaker than Wu Lai, and some were even more ruthless than him.
As soon as Qi Yingxuan and his companions exchanged blows with these servants, they realized that they were extraordinary. Their expressions hardened, and they dared not hold back any longer.
Seeing that the men in black were being entangled by Qi Yingxuan and his group, the black dragon, which had been kicked into the sea by Jiang Lin and was seriously injured, took the opportunity to swim back to the glass coffin and try to launch a sneak attack on Fengtianyu.
Unfortunately, as soon as it showed its head, Ye Wanxi spotted it. Several more scales fell off its head, leaving it completely bald. This angered it so much that it rolled around on the spot and pounced on Ye Wanxi without a care.
Ye Wanxi was worried that its large size would hurt Fengtianyu when it rolled around, so she deliberately lured it away.
But she clearly forgot that someone was secretly observing them from the corner, waiting for their chance to strike.
Seeing that no one else had the strength to help Feng Tianyu, Wu's lips curled slightly, and his right hand, which looked like a withered branch, slowly rose, revealing a sharp dagger in his palm, aimed at Feng Tianyu.
However, just as he raised his hand to shoot the dagger, a sword light suddenly appeared behind him.
Then came the sound of a sharp weapon tearing through cloth, and a long sword pierced through Wu's left chest, appearing in front of him.
Behind him, however, was Jiang Lin, who had his back to him.
Wu's face turned even paler, but his hands did not stop moving. Taking advantage of the pull of the longsword, he used all his strength to send the dagger flying.
This was something Jiang Lin hadn't expected. Logically speaking, someone stabbed in the heart should have died on the spot, yet he still had the strength to throw the dagger out!
But that's clearly not what he should be concerned about right now.
"Senior Brother, watch out!"
The moment the dagger appeared, Ye Wanxi, who was entangled with the black dragon, immediately noticed it. Her eyes narrowed, and without caring about anything else, she rushed towards the direction of Fengtian Domain at top speed.
Qi Yingxuan and the others turned around instinctively when they heard her shout, but their expressions changed after they saw what was happening on the two of them.
Tick-tock—tick-tock—
Bright red blood splattered onto the transparent glass coffin, blooming into pretty little red flowers.
Feng Tianyu stared at the scene, his expression momentarily stunned. His originally bloodshot eyes regained some clarity, but then suddenly became even more frenzied.
Ye Wanxi naturally noticed his unusual behavior and quickly reassured him, "I'm fine, it's just that..." he hurt his hand.
Yes, in that instant, she didn't have time to think and forcefully grabbed the dagger that was aimed straight at Feng Tianyu's heart.
Before Ye Wanxi could finish speaking, the blood that had fallen on the glass coffin suddenly changed, like birds returning to their nests, rushing to seep into the cracks created by the spear.
Finally, it coalesced into a single, bright red drop of blood, which fell from the edge of the cracked glass and dripped onto... the forehead of the skeleton's skull.
With a loud bang, the enormous energy sealed within the glass coffin suddenly erupted.
Feng Tianyu's expression changed slightly, and he immediately protected Ye Wanxi and retreated.
Qi Yingxuan and the others realized that something was wrong and hurriedly shook off the men in black and retreated.
The next second, a huge explosion centered on the glass coffin unleashed a massive wave. Even though Qi Yingxuan and the others ran fast, they were inevitably drenched and were even forced to vomit blood by the enormous energy that spread out.
"What happened? Why did that coffin..." explode!
Qi Yingxuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked up, and froze.
In the heart of the churning waves, inside the transparent glass coffin, the complete skeleton was slowly growing flesh and blood.
"This...how is this possible?"
What was happening before their eyes was beyond their comprehension, but that was not the most shocking thing. What surprised them even more was that, as the skeleton and flesh were restored, the skeleton gradually became a familiar sight to them.
"Wu! Ye! Quan!"
The moment the entire body was restored to its original state, this body, which had been asleep for thousands of years, finally opened its eyes and awoke from its long slumber.
The moment Wu Yequan opened his eyes, the lid of the glass coffin spontaneously shattered, turning into sparkling fragments that rained down from mid-air.
It looked like twinkling stars in the night sky, yet it made the people present feel an indescribable chill.
At the same time, Wu Yequan also stepped out of the glass coffin. He hovered in mid-air, looking at his body, which had returned to its peak years, and was very satisfied.
“Father.” Wu’s voice came from the side, filled with unmistakable excitement and joy.
The sword wound on his left chest had not fully healed, and his face looked exactly like those unlucky ghosts who had been forcibly sucked out of the gates of hell not long ago, but at this moment his expression was more lively than ever before.
Wu Yequan glanced at the face that bore a striking resemblance to his own when he was young and praised, "You did a good job."
As if receiving some great praise, Wu's empty eyes lit up slightly, filled with joy and admiration.
The men in black who had held off Qi Yingxuan and the others not long ago also appeared before Wu Yequan at this opportune moment, bowing respectfully to him and saying, "Congratulations on the return of the sect leader."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Wu Yequan's gaze swept over the group of people, finally settling on Feng Tianyu and the others, or more precisely, on Ye Wanxi.
He stared at Ye Wanxi for a long while, his eyes deep and cold, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.
"Long time no see. You probably didn't expect to see me again, my... junior disciples."
Upon seeing this, Feng Tianyu and Jun Wuduan immediately stepped in front of Ye Wanxi, blocking Wu Yequan's gaze from falling on her.
Ye Wanxi was slightly taken aback. She glanced at her eldest senior brother, who was radiating a murderous aura, and then at her third senior brother, whose smile had long since vanished and whose expression was unusually serious.
The hand that had been slashed by the dagger tightened slightly, as if... Pandora's box had been opened in another way.
And they, too, seemed to be hiding something even bigger from him.
