Chapter 254: Who Doesn't Know a Bone-Shrinking Technique?
Chapter 254: Who Doesn't Know a Bone-Shrinking Technique?
"Swish! Swish!"
The sound of fluttering clothes cutting through the air suddenly rang out, and Jiang Feng and Lian Xing appeared on either side of Yao Yue.
Jiang Feng wore a smile on his face, while Lian Xing's face was flushed, her pearly teeth slightly bared in a cheerful smile.
Wei Wuya stared at Jiang Feng, his eyes wide with disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that he had actually found the mechanism to control the stone door.
"Sorry to keep you waiting," Jiang Feng said with a grin. "I made a mistake by relying solely on my experience. I kept searching for the switch around the doorway, but couldn't find it."
"It was Lian Xing who reminded me that such a large stone chair must be your usual seat," Jiang Feng continued. "Aside from showcasing your grandeur, it's also the perfect place to conceal intricate mechanisms."
"Fortunately, my mechanism skills are not bad. Although you hid the switch quite deeply, I still managed to find it." Jiang Feng smiled.
Wei Wuya remained silent. The mechanism's hub was hidden far more intricately than that—even he would have faced immense difficulty finding it without prior knowledge.
Yet, Jiang Feng and Lian Xing had only spent a moment behind the stone chair before opening the stone door. Jiang Feng's skill in mechanism art was truly extraordinary!
However...
As Wei Wuya saw Jiang Feng's playful smile, Lian Xing's charming laughter, and Yao Yue's disdainful cold smile, he unexpectedly calmed down.
He knew that he had no hope of surviving this day, and he was not the type to be unable to accept defeat.
But before he died, he wanted to see the despair and fear on Yao Yue and Lian Xing's faces, and he wanted to make Jiang Feng, the man with the perpetual annoying smile, lose his composure.
So, Wei Wuya also let out a cold laugh. "Do you really think that capturing me will guarantee your escape from this place?"
Lian Xing replied with a delicate laugh. "Why wouldn't it be?"
Seeing Wei Wuya had given her a glimmer of hope. He was the type to value his life and would never choose to die with them.
A cruel smirk tugged at Wei Wuya's lips. "Then why don't you take a look and see what kind of passage this is that leads outside?"
As soon as Yao Yue had entered, she had fixed her gaze on Wei Wuya, afraid that he would try to escape again. Naturally, Jiang Feng and Lian Xing's attention had also been focused on him when they entered.
It was only when Wei Wuya spoke that they subconsciously looked around.
The stone room wasn't very large, and there didn't seem to be any doorways in the surrounding stone walls—just expansive slabs of stone without a crack in sight.
This place seemed like a dead end, but...
How could that be possible?
Why would Wei Wuya trap himself in a dead end?
Wei Wuya let out a strange laugh and pointed to a ventilation hole under a boulder in the corner of the stone room. "Do you see that hole?"
Although the ventilation hole was larger than the typical fist-sized ones, it was still only about a foot in diameter—impossible for a normal person to squeeze through.
Lian Xing's face drained of color, and Yao Yue, no fool herself, immediately realized that this was Wei Wuya's escape route. Her eyes reflected a moment of despair.
Wei Wuya laughed heartily. "What do you think now? You can see the way out, but you can't reach it. How does that feel? I told you that even if it were me, I couldn't take you all out. Do you believe me now?"
Wei Wuya's eyes shone with malevolence and cruelty. He was certain that this time, the three of them would truly despair.
Yao Yue and Lian Xing's hearts sank.
Then they heard Jiang Feng's casual reply, "I believe you."
Jiang Feng's tone remained indifferent, even carrying a hint of mockery.
Wei Wuya also stared at him, his eyes wide, unable to comprehend why Jiang Feng hadn't broken down by now.
"Are you stupid? Do you even understand the situation we're in?" Wei Wuya asked incredulously. "Only I can escape through this passage!"
The next moment, a faint 'cracking' sound was heard, and Wei Wuya watched in shock as Jiang Feng's body shrank, his shoulders hunching forward and his hips narrowing, his entire width reducing to within a foot.
Wei Wuya was stunned.
"Are you an idiot? Did you forget that Hu Yaoshi, one of your subordinates, knows the bone-shrinking technique? Wasn't it you who organized the Twelve Zodiac Signs?" Wei Wuya asked, his voice harsh.
Jiang Feng replied casually, "Since he knows the bone-shrinking technique, it's possible that others might know it too. And if others can do it, why can't I?"
"When traveling in the martial arts world, safety comes first. Who wouldn't want to know a bone-shrinking technique?"
Jiang Feng shrugged and twisted his neck, then stretched out slightly, returning to his original form.
"The bone-shrinking technique may seem magical, but it's just a matter of skillfully manipulating muscles to compress the bones and temporarily dislocate them," Jiang Feng explained with a smile. "Those who don't know it might find it mysterious, but once you understand the technique, it's not that profound. With Yao Yue and Lian Xing's talent, I estimate they can master it within an hour at most."
Jiang Feng winked at Wei Wuya and asked, "Do you really think they won't be able to learn it?"
A brilliant smile already lit up Lian Xing's face, and even Yao Yue couldn't help but relax, a slight curve forming at the corners of her mouth.
Wei Wuya gaped at Jiang Feng, well aware of Hu Yaoshi's bone-shrinking secret technique. However, this esoteric skill wasn't a popular martial arts technique among the jianghu.
He couldn't fathom how a suave and debonair man like Jiang Feng could possibly know such a technique.
Why would you, with all your wealth, need to learn such a technique?
Jiang Feng laughed heartily. He winked at Wei Wuya and said, "Well, do you have anything else to say? If not, we'll have to kill you and be on our way.
By the way, I must say, you've built yourself quite the grand tomb here. I suppose you'll be dying willingly then?"
Wei Wuya was far from willing. He couldn't accept this turn of events and desperately wished he had learned Hu Yaoshi's bone-shrinking technique. If he had, he could have made the ventilation hole three inches narrower, and Jiang Feng and the others would have had no chance of escaping.
But it was too late for regrets. Wei Wuya's eyes darted, and he looked at Jiang Feng, saying, "If you kill me, you can forget about obtaining Ouyang Ting's treasure. Only I know where the gold, silver, jewels, divine weapons, and martial arts manuals are hidden!"
With his antics, not only had Jiang Feng failed to cause the sisters pain, despair, or madness, but their relationship had also deepened. The sisters from the Moving Flower Palace had even decided to share him as their husband.
Jiang Feng was delighted, but Wei Wuya was on the verge of insanity.
He couldn't accept this outcome and refused to die without a fight. Thus, he thought of Jiang Feng's appearances at Emei Mountain and Mount Jiuhua.
"You must be coveting Ouyang Ting's treasure. Do you still want it?"
As long as he wasn't killed immediately, he still had a chance to escape!
