Chapter 132 Duel of Spells
At that moment, Weasel suddenly glared angrily at A-Lang, who was behind Cao Qilong, and shouted, "It's this person! My wife gave birth, so I planned to stay at his house for a year or two and repay the Liu Family later. But unexpectedly, this person is so vicious! I only borrowed a few chickens from him, and he killed my entire family with a beating. Tell me, is it wrong for me to seek revenge for the murder of my wife and children?"
"That's right, this is the cause created by the Liu Family, and they deserve the retribution they receive," I said.
"Good, it's rare for you, Little Yin-Yang, to say something just. Since you say I am justified in seeking revenge on him, then you should mind your own business and go wherever you need to go!" Weasel seemed to be in a better mood because I spoke a fair word, so he didn't make things difficult for me.
However, I did not let him enter the house. Instead, I shook my head and said, "I cannot ignore this matter. Although the Liu Family has sown evil seeds and deserves their retribution, it is not your place to harm them personally. You may have a point, but if you truly kill the Liu Family, are you not afraid of Karma? Wouldn't you be destroying your own hundred years of cultivation?"
What I said was based on righteousness. If one could take revenge for grievances, wouldn't the world be in chaos? Whether in the human realm, Underworld, or the realm of cultivation, there are rules and laws. As the saying goes, 'The law is vast; those who do evil will eventually face consequences,' and private revenge cannot be tolerated.
But Weasel completely ignored my reasoning and took my good intentions as an obstacle to his quest for vengeance. His expression turned cold as he said, "It seems you are determined to meddle!"
"I will definitely intervene in this matter. As long as I am here, you cannot harm innocent lives. They have done evil; they will face their own consequences. If you persist in your actions, not only will you fail to take revenge, but you may also bring harm upon yourself. If Great Master is willing to show some leniency towards me, please spare the Liu Family. The Liu Family will surely be grateful," I stated solemnly, making my position clear.
At that moment, Aunt Liu, who was hiding behind Cao Qilong, knelt down and pleaded with Weasel to spare their lives. She promised that as long as they were spared, the Liu Family would worship him for generations. A-Lang also knelt down, feeling deeply remorseful for his previous mistakes and begging for Weasel's forgiveness.
However, Weasel not only ignored my righteous reasoning but also disregarded the pleas of the people from the Liu Family. Seeing the Liu Family Mother and Son kneeling on the ground begging him did not soften his heart; instead, he sneered coldly and scolded them: "What good is it to plead now? If I had known it would come to this, why did I bother before? In short, your Liu Family has killed my wife and children; today I will destroy your Liu Family."
After saying that, Weasel turned to me and asked, "You little Yin-Yang, this is my last question: will you let it go or not?"
I shook my head without speaking and instead made a sword gesture with my fingers. I knew that our negotiations had collapsed; he neither listened to reason nor accepted the pleas from the Liu Family. As an immortal being, isn't it what they desire most—to have someone worship them? And yet he refused such a good offer from the Liu Family, which meant this was a fight to the death.
Seeing that I would not yield, Weasel's expression turned cold again. Without saying another word, he reached out his hand toward my neck. Immortals are not like ghosts; they are not easy to deal with. When I saw him about to make a move, I hurriedly retreated into the house and then struck at him with my sword gesture.
Because it was close, my Five Thunder Sword Finger hit him directly, causing him to pause for a moment. Although it didn't cause him significant harm, it allowed me to successfully escape from his threat.
At this moment, I had already slipped into the house, calling out to Cao Qilong to protect Liu Family Mother and Son, while hurriedly launching several sword fingers outward.
The formidable power of the Earth Immortal had been experienced by Liu Family Mother and Son. Seeing that the opponent was actually attacking, they turned pale with fear and quickly scrambled up from the Ground to hide behind Cao Qilong.
The Five Thunder Sword Finger could not possibly cause significant damage to Weasel, but instead enraged him. He shouted, "Since you wish to die, this immortal shall fulfill your wish." After saying that, he waved his robe, and suddenly a wave of yellow smoke surged forward...
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine. Weasel was unleashing his signature Spell, Stinky Fart! This thing was no less potent than poison gas; if I inhaled that yellow smoke, I would be done for today.
I quickly turned around and ran backward while casting finger gestures and reciting the East Wind Spell: “Heavenly Spirit, Earthly Spirit, Earth Spirit, Earth Spirit, wind god descend to transform, the disciple is not of mortal form, transformed into wind form, coming from all directions, seven stars and eight battles protect me, the eastern deity comes to guard me, spoken is the sound of wind, commanded is the order of wind, Urgent Order!”
Just as the yellow smoke was about to reach me, I finished reciting the incantation and directed a finger gesture towards the smoke while shouting: “East wind rise!” Suddenly, a gust of east wind blew up and blew the smoke out through the Main Entrance!
As the smoke dissipated, I saw Weasel wave his robe again, and four or five large stones came flying toward me.
This time I was terrified; those stones weighed over a hundred pounds each and were coming at me with great force. If they hit me hard, I wouldn't die but would definitely be injured. It is said that Earth Immortal excels in witchcraft, and that statement is indeed true. This move is called Stone Movement; it teleports stones from elsewhere as weapons.
Not only was I startled, but even Cao Qilong behind me shouted for me to be careful. However, having just dispelled the stinky fart attack from my opponent, there was no time for me to dodge the flying stones! No matter how I tried to evade them, it was nearly impossible; I could only watch helplessly as the stones came crashing toward me.
Of course, I couldn't just stand there and let them hit me. Seeing that I couldn't dodge this time at all, I decided to go all out without thinking about evasion. I performed a finger gesture and drew a Demon-Slaying Talisman in the air while chanting: “Vague and dim, heaven and earth are darkened, thunder and lightning fire soldiers; if you hear my call name, come swiftly; drive away evil spirits and capture demons; I command in the name of Supreme Elder Lord, Urgent Order…”
As soon as I finished reciting the incantation, one of the stones smashed into my chest. A tremendous pain shot through me; it felt like being hit by a freight truck. My body was sent flying backward. Just as I was propelled back, I hurled the drawn Demon-Slaying Talisman at Weasel...
Then I crashed heavily onto the back of the Eight Immortals Table, smashing that heavy Eight Immortals Table into pieces!
A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, and at that moment, I couldn't care less about my own injuries; I looked directly at the Weasel ahead. I saw that he had also suffered heavy damage, his entire body flying out towards the Main Entrance, clearly hit by my Demon-Slaying Talisman.
At this time, I wanted to take advantage of his weakness to finish him off, but as soon as I moved, I realized I couldn't get up; a sharp pain shot through my chest.
Just then, Cao Qilong rushed over and helped me to the side, asking if I was okay. I told him not to worry about me and to deal with the Weasel first. At that moment, the Weasel had walked back in from outside; although there was blood at the corner of his mouth, it was evident that his injuries were not as severe as mine.
Cao Qilong understood my intent and didn't pay attention to me anymore. He took out a jade pendant from his pocket and recited a spell to summon the Paper Soldiers contained within.
These Paper Soldiers were the same ones that had dealt with the Evil Spirit at the Living Sacrifice Altar in front of the Ghost Gate before; their power was still considerable, having previously driven the Evil Spirit back into the Ghost Gate. This time, Cao Qilong summoned them again; our lives depended on them today.
As soon as the Paper Soldiers appeared, they charged towards the Weasel who had just entered. Armed with axes and knives, they quickly engaged in battle with the Weasel, temporarily restraining him.
Since we were inside the house, there was no way to escape; the Main Entrance was currently blocked by the Weasel. Cao Qilong's Paper Controlling Technique was indeed impressive; his Paper Soldiers quickly forced the Weasel back outside, clearly giving us the upper hand.
However, before we could catch our breath, the Weasel suddenly waved his robe again. This time he unleashed not flying stones or foul gas but a torrent of flames.
The flames seemed to have eyes of their own as they lunged toward the Paper Soldiers. In just a blink of an eye, several Paper Soldiers were engulfed in flames and perished instantly. The remaining three or four Paper Soldiers showed signs of fear; before Cao Qilong could issue a retreat order, they fled on their own, disappearing back into the jade pendant—clearly too scared to continue fighting!
These Paper Figurines are indeed afraid of fire; that has never changed!
With this turn of events, the situation took a drastic downturn. I was now completely immobilized, and Cao Qilong only knew how to use Paper Controlling Technique but not Yin-Yang Techniques. Since his Paper Soldiers had already been defeated, it was evident that he would have no way to deal with the Weasel now. As this thought crossed my mind, a sense of despair welled up within me. I had come to the Northeast seeking help from an Earth Immortal, but unexpectedly encountered one who became an enemy instead—now my life was at stake in their hands!
