In this bizarre world, I can extract supernatural powers.

"Guest...guest..."

Zhao Erniu stared at the shadows through the crack in the door, his Adam's apple bobbing.

It's the middle of the night, there are hardly any guests around.

Unless someone has just died, why would they come to a coffin shop?

Just then, a soft knocking sound rang out.

"Thump..."

The surroundings were already deathly silent, and the moment the knocking sound rang out, Zhao Erniu felt a chill instantly spread throughout his body.

The shadowy figure seemed to have disappeared through the crack in the door.

Moonlight streamed in through the window.

A shadow suddenly appeared at the window, blocking out all the light.

Zhao Erniu stiffly turned his neck and saw a face as pale as paper.

His cheeks were aged, his features were pale and distorted, and his eyes were lifeless, like a piece of wood.

At the bottom edge of the window, two pale hands appeared, gripping the edge tightly.

"Mr. Liu... Mr. Liu!"

Zhao Erniu took a few steps back and accidentally fell to the ground.

He tried to shrink back using both his hands and feet, but there was a wall behind him.

When he delivered the coffin to the Liu family, he also sent some coffin materials.

The clothes that Master Liu is wearing are clearly those from the shop.

Master Liu turned his gaze and landed beside Zhao Erniu.

Zhao Erniu hurriedly turned his head and saw Xu Bai standing next to him, holding a wooden sword in his right hand.

Xu Bai's five fingers were clenched tightly, his knuckles as white as paper.

"Shopkeeper..."

Zhao Erniu asked instinctively, "Are you scared too?"

"nonsense!"

Xu Bai's lips twitched: "Of course I'm scared."

It's a lie to say I'm not afraid.

This was the first time he had encountered something strange.

If he hadn't possessed extraordinary intelligence and hadn't been well-prepared, he would probably be in the same situation as Zhao Erniu right now.

Their conversation lessened the chill in the surroundings somewhat.

At this moment, Mr. Liu, who was at the window, disappeared.

"Thump!"

A hand suddenly grabbed the window.

Through the moonlight, you can see the jet-black fingernails on the five fingers.

"Click!"

A cracking sound came from the window.

The next moment, the window shattered, and a blast of cold wind rushed in, giving Xu Bai goosebumps.

Old Master Liu placed half of his body on the window and crawled in through the crack like a spider.

"Click!"

The sound of bones cracking rang out.

Old Master Liu turned his head 180 degrees and stared intently at Xu Bai with his eyes upside down.

"You sold me a tattered coffin!"

"I'm speaking in a sinister tone," said Master Liu.

"You sold those shabby coffins!"

"You sold me a tattered coffin!"

He was like a block of wood, only knowing how to repeat himself.

After the third sentence was repeated, Master Liu exerted all his strength and actually crawled rapidly toward Xu Bai.

A chilling feeling swept through the entire coffin shop instantly, carried by the wind blowing from the window.

Xu Bai's eyes narrowed slightly.

The more dangerous the situation, the calmer he became.

The true qi circulated within the body, flowing from the fingertips to the wooden sword.

Xu Bai raised his wooden sword and pointed it forward.

Lightning suddenly appeared, shooting out along the wooden sword and striking Master Liu hard.

Master Liu screamed and flew backward.

The area struck by lightning was now a bloody mess.

Zhao Erniu stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

"Shopkeeper, are you a deity?"

Xu Bai sneered, "I am a monster."

Zhao Erniu crossed his arms: "Shopkeeper, don't scare me."

Xu Bai did not answer.

But the chill in my heart has lessened considerably.

afraid?

nonexistent.

When there is enough firepower, there is no such thing as fear in this world.

Zhao Erniu pointed at Master Liu with trembling hands.

"Shopkeeper, he's here again!"

In the corner, the shadows were as dark as ink.

Old Master Liu twisted and turned his limbs haphazardly, and somehow managed to crawl along the wall all the way to the ceiling of the roof.

His cold gaze was fixed on Xu Bai, exuding a chilling sense of death.

"You sold me a tattered coffin!"

"You sold me a tattered coffin!"

"You sold me a tattered coffin!"

Master Liu's voice was filled with resentment and venom, making the surrounding temperature seem to drop several degrees.

Xu Bai raised an eyebrow slightly. With the Yin Wood Thunder Sword Technique in hand, he felt no fear whatsoever.

"When I do business, I believe in mutual consent."

"Would I, an honest man, sell you a rotten coffin?"

Drooling from the corner of Mr. Liu's mouth, he lunged at Xu Bai from the ceiling.

A strong, fishy smell hit the face, making one want to vomit.

Xu Bai moved his wrist slightly.

Lightning burst forth from the wooden sword, like a lightning serpent, striking towards Master Liu's face.

"boom!"

A roaring sound rang out.

Mr. Liu fell to the ground, his face charred black.

He was getting up.

At that moment, a wooden sword pierced Mr. Liu's chest from top to bottom.

Xu Bai's eyes gleamed with a cold light, like the wind in the dead of winter, sending chills down one's spine.

Lightning flashed, and all evil was warded off.

Amidst the terrifying flashes of lightning, Master Liu was reduced to ashes, which drifted into the air.

Xu Bai sheathed his sword and stood there.

The smoke, shaped like a snake, floated in mid-air.

[Slaying a strange being at the Transcendent Realm grants fifty years of strange lifespan.]

"Fifty years?"

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, but his expression remained completely calm.

At this moment, after the battle, his mindset had changed.

The world is full of strange and bizarre things, and the Ghostly Longevity Register is the foundation of his life.

After slaying the monster, you won't be so afraid next time.

Zhao Erniu huddled in the corner, muttering to himself.

"A god, the shopkeeper is a god."

He had never seen anything so terrifying or bizarre, nor had he ever seen the shopkeeper possess such divine power.

Because in his view, the shopkeeper had always been kind and gentle.

But today, the shopkeeper is not only incredibly brave, he can even summon thunder.

That's something only immortals in folk tales could do.

Xu Bai shook his head and said, "If I were a god, I would have taken you to ascend to heaven in broad daylight long ago."

Zhao Erniu then came to his senses.

Only then did he realize that the familiar shopkeeper seemed to have returned, and the fear in his heart lessened considerably.

"Shopkeeper..."

Zhao Erniu wanted to say something more.

Just then, footsteps suddenly sounded.

Outside the door, Constable Chen and his group of constables stared at Xu Bai in astonishment.

They arrived a little late, just in time to see Xu Bai plunge the wooden sword into Master Liu's chest.

The scene was extremely cruel.

Even many constables felt a chill run down their spines after seeing it.

Xu Bai glanced back at the numerous constables, pondered for a moment, and then raised his hand.

"Lord Chen, how about we go inside and discuss this further?"

Having been caught today, Xu Bai made no attempt to hide it.

Like in the novels of my past life, the protagonist goes to great lengths to conceal his identity; that's something a fool would do.

Living in a strange and chaotic world.

Putting aside whether it's possible to hide it, the fact that you can't get any information even after hiding your identity will only make you die faster.

He didn't believe that having the Ghostly Longevity Talisman would guarantee him a smooth path.

Since that's the case, I might as well ask Constable Chen what I want to know.

Officer Chen snapped out of his daze, took a deep breath, and sheathed his sword.

"You're all waiting for me outside."

He said something to the constable before stepping into the house.

As soon as he entered, Constable Chen looked at Xu Bai with a complicated gaze, his hand gripping the long knife tightening slightly.

"It seems I misjudged you. To be able to slay a strange being at the first level of the Transcendent Realm, I wonder where Manager Xu's master came from?"

In his words, he no longer had his usual arrogance and treated Xu Bai as an equal.
