save the bachelors

Chapter 4059 4061 [Knockdown Alley]

Xiang Nan then entered Knockturn Alley.

This is a rugged and dark alley, with shops selling black magic items on both sides.

For example, one shop window displayed some shrunken human heads; another shop window was crawling with huge black poisonous spiders; another shop window was filled with colorful poisonous snakes; and another shop sold poisonous candles made from human oil...

There were also many wizards with gloomy faces and evil eyes gathered in the alley, looking at Xiang Nan with sinister sneers, as if they were looking at a fat pig that had mistakenly entered a slaughterhouse.

Xiang Nan was not afraid. He counted the house numbers as he walked and finally arrived at No. 12 Knockturn Alley. He saw that this was also a shop with a sign that read "Vampire's Kiss".

In its window were cans of blood, including red, green, black, and white.

Some blood emits a white glow, some blood boils like magma, some blood is as thick as asphalt, and some blood emits a foul odor...

"No wonder Giggs recommended this place." Xiang Nan nodded, "After all, who knows how to collect blood better than vampires?"

Xiang Nan then pushed the door and walked in.

The shop was very dark, with only one candle for lighting.

However, Xiang Nan was well versed in martial arts and had sharp eyesight. Despite the dim light, he immediately noticed the owner standing behind the counter.

He was tall and thin, with a pale face and bloodshot eyes, and he stood there motionless, like a statue.

However, Xiang Nan knew that he was not a statue, but a vampire.

"Boss, do you have Chinese Fire Dragon Blood? I want a pint." Xiang Nan asked directly.

"No." The owner looked at Xiang Nan and replied coldly.

"Adam Giggs introduced me here." Xiang Nan was not discouraged. He smiled and took out ten Galleons. "I am buying this sincerely."

The shopkeeper touched the ten Galleons and nodded, "Fifty Galleons."

Xiang Nan didn't bargain, he just nodded, "Okay."

"Then come with me." The owner turned and walked into the inner room.

Xiang Nan was stunned and followed him in.

……

After entering the inner room, the owner pushed open another door, revealing a downward corridor that was narrow, dark, and winding.

Xiang Nan followed the shop owner all the way down and walked for about forty or fifty meters. The further down they went, the wetter the corridor became and the worse the smell became.

Xiang Nan's patience was already good enough, but he couldn't help but frown, feeling like he was walking in a fermenting biogas pool.

Finally, they came to the end and saw a door at the end.

The shopkeeper took out his wand and knocked on the door rhythmically. The door suddenly opened. A strong and pungent smell of blood came out, making people want to vomit.

The owner, however, acted as if he smelled nothing and walked straight in with Xiang Nan.

"This is..." Xiang Nan went in and took a look, but was stunned.

He thought the shop owner was taking him to the warehouse to get dragon blood, but the place they were in now looked more like a slaughterhouse.

There was a large chopping board in the middle of the room, on which were placed many cold daggers. There were deep blood grooves on each dagger. You could tell without asking that they were used for bleeding.

On the left was a cross with bloody shackles hanging on it. I don't know how much blood it was stained with. On the west were a dozen meat hooks gleaming with cold light, hanging with all kinds of meat. There were human, centaur, mountain monster, and even goblin... "This is where you will be buried." The shopkeeper chuckled, "I haven't smelled such fresh, mellow, and energetic blood for a long time. It must be very valuable."

"You want to kill me?" Xiang Nan was shocked.

He didn't expect that he would be bled instead of buying blood. No wonder Irene didn't let him go to Knockturn Alley, there are traps everywhere.

“Not just me,” the shop owner said, waving his hand and smiling.

Then there were a few snapping sounds, and four more people suddenly appeared in the room, all of them appearing via apparitions.

They stood in the shape of a pentagram, surrounding Xiang Nan, and looked at him greedily, as if he was not a human but a lamb to be slaughtered.

"You are so unscrupulous, aren't you afraid of the Ministry of Magic investigating?" Xiang Nan asked coldly.

“How smart do you think they are?” chuckled the shopkeeper.

"This slaughterhouse is very hidden. Without the secret code, you can't get in. All they will see is the warehouse," another person explained.

Xiang Nan suddenly realized that this slaughterhouse was similar to the Room of Requirement, and no one could get in unless they knew the code to open the door.

……

"Don't waste time, come together!" the owner said loudly, and with a wave of his pale hand, a black mist suddenly attacked Xiang Nan.

“Relax the force…”, “Legs stand still…”, “Quickly imprison…”, “The soul leaves the body…” The other four immediately drew out their wands and cast spells.

Their wands sprayed out different beams of light, such as blue, gray, and red, and aimed at Xiang Nan in the field.

Xiang Nan suddenly flashed, as fast as a ghost, and appeared in front of the shop owner at lightning speed, knocking him down with one punch.

The others were startled when they saw this, and hurriedly turned their wands around, about to cast another spell.

Xiang Nan immediately stretched out all ten fingers, and ten swift finger forces shot out, instantly freezing the four people in place, unable to move.

"Humph, you actually dare to set your sights on me? You really don't know who you've provoked?" Xiang Nan couldn't help but sneered.

These five wizards not only cast spells slowly, but also react even slower. In Jin Yong's martial arts world, their speed is not even as fast as the Four Ghosts of the Yellow River.

The Four Yellow River Ghosts charged into battle and almost succeeded in assassinating Genghis Khan. If these five people were to assassinate him, they would probably be killed by a barrage of arrows.

This shows that the overall combat power of the wizarding world is not high, otherwise they would not have been beaten and fled by the Muggles, and had no choice but to cut off ties with the Muggle world.

"Who are you?" the shop owner asked in surprise.

They had been killing and robbing people for many years. With the combined attack of the five of them, even the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic would suffer. But he didn't expect that they would be defeated today. It was really unexpected for him.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is what I'm going to do next." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "I've always wanted to do some experiments, but I just couldn't find the right person. Who would have thought that you would actually come to me on your own initiative? Isn't this a coincidence?"

"What do you want to do?" the shop owner asked in horror.

Xiang Nan did not answer, but silently used the "Wedding Dress Magic" to suck the five shop owners over.

He originally guessed that martial arts, magic, Taoism, and supernatural powers were interconnected. After obtaining "The True Explanation of the Five Elements of Taoism", he became more convinced of this idea.

In his opinion, the so-called true qi, magic power, and mana are nothing more than a kind of energy. He just doesn't know whether he can absorb magic power by "transplanting flowers and trees".

Now is a good time to try it out.
