I have been a saint in the world for three thousand years

Inside the hospital.

After a busy day, Yan Xiu finally had the chance to stretch his muscles.

He stretched, then lay leisurely on the bamboo chair, quietly admiring the watery moonlight outside the window.

Shen Zhize stood on the wall, gazing into the distance.

The night market not far away is still bustling with bright lights and bustling people.

Seeing this, Yan Xiu frowned slightly, with a hint of blame in his tone.

"Come down here right now, kid. Otherwise, the neighbors next door will think there's a thief."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhi scratched his head and smiled, then jumped down from the wall nimbly.

He moved a bench and sat down next to Yan Xiu.

"Brother Yan, I feel like I'm not far from breaking through to the Xiantian realm!"

Yan Xiu glanced at him and said calmly: "Oh? Really? Then you have to work harder."

Shen Zhi nodded, unable to hide his excitement.

After all, in a small place like Yong'an City, the Xiantian realm is already considered a master.

You should know that Yue Lu of Naha Yue Martial Arts School is only at the Xiantian realm.

With this level of cultivation, he will be able to gain a foothold in Yong'an City and open a martial arts school to recruit disciples.

Not only could he live in a large house and have servants to serve him, but many of the city's powerful people also had close personal relationships with him.

Shen Zhi couldn't help but feel excited when he thought that he might become such a person in the future.

But Yan Xiu saw what he was thinking and said, "Don't even think about such a good thing in Yong'an City."

After hearing this, Shen Zhi's originally excited expression dimmed a lot.

The incident at Yue Mansion that day doomed him to a blood feud with most of the dignitaries in Yong'an City.

It is almost impossible to gain a foothold here.

"Well, it's getting late tonight, you should go to bed."

Yan Xiu patted Shen Zhi on the head and drove him into the side room.

As time went by, the once bustling night market gradually became quiet.

The lights gradually went out and the voices gradually disappeared.

It was not until a bright moon hung in the sky, casting silvery light, that the entire Yong'an City gradually fell into a deep sleep.

Except for the regular gongs and gongs of the night watchman, the whole night was in silence.

At this moment of complete silence, a figure quietly appeared in the darkness.

The old shadow play troupe leader hunched over and placed the things he brought on the ground one by one.

In the moonlight, he carefully fiddled with the tools for performing shadow puppetry.

His technique was skillful and deft, and in just three or five strokes, the shadow puppet stood up vividly.

Then the old owner slowly walked to a wall and held the shadow puppet high up.

In the hazy moonlight, the shadows of the shadow puppets were cleverly projected onto the white wall.

The shadow jumped and danced on the wall, as if it had been given life.

However, the appearance of this shadow was not the common shadow figures on the stage, but a hideous monster that looked neither human nor inhuman.

Its facial features are distorted and its eyes are fierce, as if it is a demon crawling out of hell.

The old boss's hands seemed to be endowed with magic. He kept fiddling with the shadow puppets, and the monster shadow man danced on the wall.

Its movements were frantic and powerful, and every jump and swing seemed to carry endless anger and murderous intent, which made people shudder.

In this silent night, the dancing of the monster shadow man seemed particularly strange and terrifying, as if it was going to pull the whole world into endless darkness.

The old boss smiled with satisfaction, and then drove the terrifying shadow figure towards the clinic as if he was controlling a puppet.

The shadows were clinging tightly to the walls and the ground, flowing gently like water.

Its body was twisted and looked hideous.

If someone saw this horrifying scene, they would probably be scared to death on the spot.

Soon, the ferocious shadowy figure arrived at the door of the clinic.

Its shadow slid from the wall to the roof, and finally fell into the yard along the patio.

The ferocious figure looked around the yard and went straight to the wing room.

And that was where Yan Xiu rested.

But before it could take a few steps, it stopped.

Shen Zhi was seen holding a long knife in his hand and slowly walking out of the darkness.

The blade and his eyes reflected a cold light under the hazy moonlight.

"Who are you?"

Shen Zhi accumulated the true energy in his body, ready to attack at any time.

But facing Shen Zhi's questioning, the shadow man did not answer.

It just slowly opened its mouth, revealing a weird and terrifying smile.

When Shen Zhi saw this, he felt goosebumps all over his body and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.

It's too late to say.

Just as the shadow man showed a weird smile, its attack followed closely.

It just flashed and then, sticking to the wall, it attacked Shen Zhi like a ghost.

Shen Zhi reacted quickly and swung his knife.

However, the shadow figure seemed illusory. When the knife chopped it, I felt the air wavering and the shadow figure disappeared from the spot.

Shen Zhi was shocked and thought to himself that this shadow figure was indeed weird.

He did not dare to be careless at all, and immediately adjusted his breathing and concentrated his true energy.

Not long after, the shadowy figure appeared again.

Its body was erratic, sometimes leaping high to the roof, sometimes crouching low to the ground, as if it was everywhere.

Every attack came unexpectedly, leaving Shen Zhi exhausted from dealing with it.

Although Shen Zhi was very skilled, he felt a little overwhelmed when facing this strange shadow man.

He kept swinging his sword, but each time he could only hit the shadow man's afterimage, but couldn't cause any substantial damage to it.

But the shadow man seemed tireless and his attacks became more and more fierce.

If this continues, Shen Zhi knows that he will eventually be exhausted by the other party.

He took a deep breath, concentrated his energy on the tip of the knife, and slashed at the shadow man fiercely.

This time he did not chop into the air, but felt that the tip of the knife seemed to hit something solid.

However, just when he thought he had successfully hit the shadow man, he felt a huge force coming from the tip of the knife.

He was shocked and flew backwards, falling heavily to the ground.

Shen Zhi struggled to stand up and looked up.

I saw the shadow figure still standing on the wall, as if he had not suffered any harm.

It opened its mouth wide, revealing that weird and terrifying smile again, as if mocking Shen Zhi's incompetence.

The next moment, the shadow man kept wandering back and forth, and finally pounced directly towards Shen Zhi's shadow.

Shen Zhi was shocked and retreated repeatedly, but was eventually caught up by the other party.

Then Shen Zhi felt a pain in his heart, and saw that the shadow man's arm pierced deeply into his shadow.

Shen Zhi looked down and saw that a wound had appeared on his chest and blood was gushing out.

"What a weird thing!"

Shen Zhi was horrified and took this opportunity to stay away from the shadow man.

He retreated into the darkness, no longer exposing his shadow to the moonlight.

At the same time, he roughly understood what this thing was.
