"Go at him together, he’s alone; two fists are hard-pressed to fight off four hands." The white-collar man wiped his face with his hand, mouth filled with blood.
Two handleless blades slid out of from the hands of the man in the t-shirt, his eyes ice-cold, "Kill him, I can cover the traces, then we’ll leave the train as fast as possible!"
The white-collar man nodded and bellowed, his expanded muscular body charging towards the Western monk again.
The man in the t-shirt was like a ghost, appearing and disappearing behind the white-collar man. Compared to the white-collar man, he was more dangerous. The handleless blades in his hands were like the fangs of a poisonous snake—once revealed, they would send people to their deaths!
"Bring it on!" the Western monk laughed out loud.
Two minutes later.
The white-collar man twisted and turned on the floor, his limbs unusually twisted. His face was covered in blood, and he had a foolish gaze.
The man in the t-shirt was pinned to the wall by the Western monk as massive fists launched punches one after another at him; his face was also covered in blood, and he also had a foolish gaze.
"I’ve already reached First Stage Sixth Apertures Leaping Dragon Gate Realm, and you two beansprouts who haven’t even finished Foundation Establishment tried to face me head on?!" the Western monk threw the man in the t-shirt on the ground, and while he was at it, he took away the magical bone treasure from him.
First Stage Sixth Apertures Realm was known as Jump Through The Dragon Gate, its name was taken from the fish that jumped through a dragon gate to become a dragon. Once the gate was leapt over, one could turn the body’s qi and blood from incorporeal to corporeal and condense it into true qi, breaking away from the mortal realm! This large monk was already a master at the apex of First Stage.
The Western monk clasped the magical bone treasure, and glanced at the Ghost General Ku You.
"This resentful ghost makes up for at least a hundred to a thousand normal ghosts. If I purify it, I won’t be too far from the phenomenon of fish jumping through the dragon gate. Heheh, once I leap over the dragon gate, I’ll advance one step further," the Western monk muttered and forcefully crushed the magical bone treasure.
The magical bone treasure was connected to Ghost General Ku You. As the magical treasure shattered, Ghost General Ku You screamed in pain, "Ahh… ahh…"
Take its life while it’s sick!
The Western monk took the chance and grabbed his scripture and prayer beads.
The scripture flipped on its own to the suited location.
The Western monk recited the scriptures loudly, grabbing and fiercely waving the prayer beads with his right hand.
The prayer beads dispersed like golden bullets, shooting towards Ghost General Ku You.
It was incredibly fast, and the opponent could not evade in time. Ghost General Ku You was continuously hit by the golden prayer beads—ten holes were shot open, and the ghost aura thinned. It screamed in pain again and again!
The Western monk knitted his brows, unsatisfied with the results. Soon after, he threw out his scriptures like his beads. The scriptures disassembled in midair, turning into sheets of holy pages that covered Ghost General Ku You.
The target’s screams of pain became more acute.
The Western monk formed an evil-warding demon subduing seal. Golden light shined from his eyes, and prayers spilled from his mouth.
"Bastard, stop… stop!" the white-collar man struggled as he crawled toward the Western monk and screamed with all his might, dragging out a long trail of blood.
If Ghost General Ku You was purified, he and the man in the t-shirt were guaranteed to die!
The man in the t-shirt regained consciousness, and also crawled towards the Western monk like a bug, opening his mouth with the desire of biting him, "Stop… don’t purify it… no, we’ll die! Stop!"
This was the sorrow of being a nobody… their life wasn’t in their own hands.
The Western monk’s eyes lowered, but he did not stop reciting. The pathetic men certainly were to be despised; evil dao ghost cultivators were something he’s seen plenty of. These situations were also something he had also experienced aplenty. He could not possibly stop purifying the ghost for these two men! Even though they may die from it.
"All resentful ghosts must be purified. All resentful ghosts must be purified till none remain!" the Western monk’s eyes had determination, and a sliver of hatred, in them.
At this time, the Western monk did not notice that a hunchbacked silhouette was approaching him without producing a single sound. Even with a fully released mental energy state, the Western monk could not sense the other person.
"Bang!"
After the silhouette approached the Western monk, it simply unleashed a palm strike, hitting the Western monk’s back.
The unleashed palm struck, and a surge of true qi appeared within the palm. The true qi condensed and pressed on the Western monk’s back.
‘Kaaack~’ the sound of bones and flesh being crushed that caused one’s teeth to ache was issued. It was like the sound of a person run being over by a large truck; the Western monk’s back had a handprint engraved on it.
The Western monk had had his guard completely down, and blood gushed from his mouth. The golden light in his eyes dispersed, and the Sanskrit words from his mouth stopped at once!
The prayer beads and holy pages that enveloped Ghost General Ku You turned into ordinary objects without the Western monk’s support, falling on to the ground. The scattered prayer beads hit the floor, emitting a "ding ding dong dong" sound…
Next, the Western monk fell hard onto the ground, both eyes looking in disbelief at the man behind him.
True qi, it was a Second Stage True Master!
The opponent had an expert with true qi realm on the scene, why did they wait until now to strike? They could’ve crushed him once the fight started!
"Cough Cough." The silhouette that succeeded with a sneak attack didn’t immediately follow up with more attacks. He coughed twice, and his face was pale. He took a cold glance at the large monk, then turned to look at the white collar man and man in the t-shirt who had fallen on the ground, "Two good-for-nothings… if it weren’t for the last-minute change in my plans that brought me to this subway line by chance, I would’ve lost a precious ghost general."
The two men suddenly turned pale, and their bodies trembled, "Altar… Master…"
Why did the Altar Master appear here?
The hunchbacked silhouette was ‘Altar Master’ whom Song Shuhang wanted to find on his trip to ‘Yuan Long Medicine Store.’ At this moment, Altar Master’s face was dreadfully pale, the poison obviously hadn’t been cured.
"Altar Master, please let us live! This mission, we… tried our best! But, this Western monk, he’s too strong!" the man in the t-shirt sorrowfully pleaded with Altar Master; the failure this time was truly not because they were weak, it was because the enemy was too strong! Moreover, Ghost General Ku You had not been purified, so maybe Altar Master would let them live?
"Let you live?" Altar Master’s expression was gloomy, "Useless pieces of trash have insufficient value to remain in the world. But… you guys still have your uses."
After the white-collar man and the man in the t-shirt heard it, their eyes were filled with joy.
But the next moment, they only felt a severe headache, and then they blacked out.
"Ku You… eat them." Altar Master wiped off the traces of blood on his hand and said coldly.
Ghost General Ku You in the air charged greedily at the two men’s corpses and dragged out their souls. Without waiting for their souls to react, it threw them into its mouth and ate them.
With replenishment in form of the two men’s souls, the injuries of Ghost General Ku You recovered by a lot.
"Fortunately, there was a last-minute change in plans, otherwise, I would have really thrown in the helve after the hatchet, suffering extreme losses on this trip to Jiangnan area," Altar Master muttered.
Originally, he only wanted to exchange for the ghost spirit with ‘Senior Song,’ but a baffling piece of ‘information’ stirred up the greed in his heart.
In the end, he lost a precious subordinate for this laughable information, and he even got mysteriously poisoned.
After escaping to Guangyuan Road City Area with great difficulty, he quietly tended to his wounds and successfully found a medicine store nearby, thinking to concoct an antidote.
However, he found out today by chance that someone was searching which medicine stores in Jiangnan area sold the four types of ingredients necessary for the antidote. Suddenly, he felt absolutely terrified.
He realized that the four ingredients were a trap laid by ‘Senior Song’ in order to find him, the mastermind!
It was no wonder that his subordinate who had been poisoned by deadly poison was able to return to the hotel where he was staying; all of it was a trap.
Once he thought of that, Altar Master packed up his luggage and ran without hesitation.
His life was not destined to end, and luckily he was found out about the investigation on the Internet!
As an evil ghost cultivator, he could live up till now because of his caution and prudence. Even if there were only a one in a thousand’s chance of danger, he would definitely run away without a doubt.
Then, under a coincidence, he came to the fifth line of the metro.
Even more coincidental was that he found his useless subordinates and his precious ghost general being chased and almost killed by a Western monk.
He was too lucky; if he were to get on an earlier train or a later train, he would’ve lost his precious ghost general!
Thank goodness!
Looks like after experiencing so much misfortune, this old man’s lucky break has finally come.
Altar Master thought.
Next, I’ll be defying the heavens!
