Haotai Villa Building 23.
The security in the wealthy residential area was top-notch. When Lu Chenzhou entered, he was thoroughly inspected several times by two guards with the strength of Dark Force.
His own poor old house only had an elderly man who was an amateur in martial arts.
The door of the villa was ajar, and Lu Chenzhou’s lessons were always scheduled around 10 am. At this time, Lin Ruojun was usually already waiting for his lesson.
"Ruojun, come for your lesson. Today I’ll assess your Fist Technique."
Lu Chenzhou put down his bag and waited in the living room.
He planned to ask Mr. Lin a legal question after the lesson. It wouldn’t be good to take advantage for free this time, so he could give Ruojun an extra lesson to offset the consultation fee.
He called out, but no one responded for a while.
"He must be playing video games again."
Although Lu Chenzhou didn’t pay much attention, he knew there was a popular domestic single-player game recently that Mr. Lin played day and night, and likely Ruojun was playing it too.
He was pressed for time, so he went upstairs to Lin Ruojun’s room door, where sounds of the game were indeed coming from inside. Lu Chenzhou knocked on the door and said sternly,
"Ruojun, come out for your lesson immediately!"
Lack of enthusiasm in practice, there must be a problem with his thoughts!
In the second-floor fitness area, a young woman in yoga pants wearing a revealing racerback tank top jogged on a treadmill, her fair back glistening with sweat. Mrs. Lin Bin took her figure very seriously, with long legs and a well-shaped body; she was also very pretty, but Lu Chenzhou could tell hers was a face crafted by plastic surgery.
While waiting, he noticed that all the curtains on the second floor of the villa were drawn, making it very dark, even in the daytime. Probably the young woman was dressed too coolly and feared peeping "perverts."
This woman, almost paranoid, once through an idle chat with Lin Ruojun, Lu Chenzhou learned that her aversion towards him stemmed from the fact that he was a youthful and vigorous male, worrying that he might act inappropriately towards Ruojun.
Lu Chenzhou was speechless at this.
Suddenly, Lu Chenzhou’s phone rang. It was Lin Ruojun.
"Come out quickly for the lesson."
On the other end of the phone was Lin Ruojun’s trembling voice:
"Teacher, just now my mom... she..."
"What happened to your mom?" Newest update provided by novel_fіre.net
Lin Ruojun was breathing rapidly, seemingly in an emotional response after a great fear, gasping for air while speaking. Lu Chenzhou’s gaze turned heavy towards the treadmill.
Mrs. Lin, jogging with her back to him, suddenly turned her head 180 degrees with a "crack" sound.
She revealed a strange smile, seemingly mocking in silence.
In that instant, a chilling Yin Wind rose, and a coldness pressed in.
In a glance that seemed to last an eternity, time appeared to freeze.
Though he had never encountered one, Lu Chenzhou’s first instinct was that it was a Void Thing.
Only a Martial Artist strong to a certain extent, or someone who had practiced the special Bone Shrinking Technique, could twist their head like that. He immediately dashed toward the stairway, but the young woman, moving at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people and in a bizarre posture, lunged at him with a red glow surrounding her, as blood-colored down began to grow from her face and exposed back.
The Yin Wind surged forward.
Lu Chenzhou rolled on the ground to dodge, and the young woman’s five claws, now sharpened into blood-red nails, struck the wall with a "bang," sending plaster dust flying.
Five bloody claw marks appeared on the wall!
The power of this claw was no less than that of a Dark Force martial artist.
Missing her attack, the young woman turned her head 180 degrees again.
Her bloodshot eyes fixed on Lu Chenzhou, and from within her body came crackling sounds, as if some force was violently remolding her human skeleton and internal organs.
Lu Chenzhou struck a Black Tiger Fist pose, his hands wearing Void-breaking Gloves, which did not hinder his ability to use his phone normally; he always wore them when he went out.
He had just glanced and saw that the windows of the Lin Family villa had been fitted with security bars. The plan now was to bring some light in by pulling open the curtains on the second floor while keeping the assailant at bay.
To suppress Void Things with sunlight!
Judging from Ruojun’s reaction, it seemed that shortly before his arrival, the young lady had already detected something strange about her mother, so she hid in her bedroom, likely having turned on the Yang Flame Lamp. With the young lady’s wit, unless she was frightened out of her wits, she would have already called the police.
This Void Thing wasn’t very strong; otherwise, it would have broken through the bedroom door and killed under the Yang Flame Lamp’s brightness already. Thus, holding out until the arrival of the police would be a victory.
Having swiftly analyzed the situation, Lu Chenzhou entered the Tiger Form Qi. He became eerily calm, as he possessed the Black Tiger Divine Seed, imbued with the power to intimidate evil spirits—the strength of Tiger Evil.
He was not without the power to fight.
"Ruojun! Remember to call the police!"
Lu Chenzhou maintained a defensive stance as he retreated to a corner, while the young woman glided across the ground towards him, swift as lightning. Lu Chenzhou took in a deep breath to regulate his breath, then exhaled with a thundering roar:
Along with his roar, the Black Tiger Divine Seed within the Shangyang Acupoint heated up slightly, and an indescribable, invisible Evil Qi spread from his body.
Seemingly stunned by the Tiger Evil, the young woman’s charge paused for an instant, and in that moment, Lu Chenzhou had already hit the living room’s Yang Flame Lamp switch.
Click! The switch flipped... but the Yang Flame Lamp didn’t turn on.
"Isn’t it fixed yet?"
Lu Chenzhou vaguely remembered Lin Bin mentioning that a Yang Flame Lamp at home was broken and needed fixing; he had thought it was already repaired. Now he didn’t have time to ponder this, as the young woman was already enveloping him with the Yin Wind. Lu Chenzhou, using Sea-sweeping Body and Shock Step, moved sideways to the window.
He tore down the curtains with his Dark Force, and the warm sunlight bathed Lu Chenzhou’s body, its warmth rising and driving off the cold aura from the Void Thing. The young woman, carried by momentum, ventured into the sunlight, and blood-colored smoke billowed from her body, with a "sizzling" sound emerging, and she let out a series of shrill screams.
