“Ultimate Earth, Mystical Arts Have Methods! Supreme Three Pure Ones, Daoist Guardian! Grant me Daoist Arts, bestow upon me Blood Demon! Exorcism Technique, Dao Blood Extermination! Sacrificial Dao Blood, eradicate Evil Spirit! Supreme Old Lord, urgent as the law commands!” I shouted loudly, my voice echoing as the Rusty Sword in my hand swung relentlessly, unleashing sword energy tinged with blood.
This time, I took the initiative. My footwork propelled me forward swiftly, and before those evil spirits could even touch me, they were already cleaved in two, their souls scattering into the void.
With my right hand gripping the Rusty Sword, I fixed a murderous gaze on Chen Haiping and said coldly, “Chen Haiping, let’s continue!”
I was seething with anger from the evil spirits summoned by Chen Haiping. Although I had already slain them, I wouldn’t be able to release this pent-up frustration without giving him a good beating.
Chen Haiping felt a chill from my stare; he had clearly underestimated my strength. Now, all his tricks were exhausted, and his combat ability was practically zero. Compared to me, a master of physical techniques, I could take him down with just one hand.
Realizing the situation was dire, Chen Haiping quickly stepped back a few paces to create distance between us. He then forced a smile and said, “Jiang Ling brother, let’s talk this out calmly. There’s no need for weapons; blades have no eyes and can hurt anyone.”
“We’re all civilized people here. Let’s sit down and discuss things; there’s nothing that can’t be resolved through conversation. Don’t you agree?”
I nodded and sheathed my Rusty Sword. “You’re right; blades have no eyes. It wouldn’t be good if someone got hurt.”
Seeing my action, a relieved smile spread across Chen Haiping’s face. He took a few steps closer and politely said, “Jiang Ling brother, I knew you were reasonable. Rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory answer!”
I shook my head and pointed at the phone on the easel. In a calm tone, I replied, “Chen Haiping, I don’t want your answer. Just now, all I need is to last three minutes under your command. Regardless of the outcome, you’ll have to turn this matter around.”
“There’s still one minute left; let’s continue. Don’t worry; I won’t use my sword on you.”
I pulled out the Demon-Subduing Staff, wearing a faint smile as I lunged toward Chen Haiping.
When he saw the staff in my hand, his smile instantly froze. He turned and ran, shouting, “Jiang Ling brother, let’s talk! Don’t do anything rash!”
Ignoring his pleas, I caught up and kicked him in the back, sending him sprawling to the ground. With the Demon-Subduing Staff in hand, I began to rain blows down upon him.
“Ow~~ That hurts! Please be gentle, Jiang Ling big brother! You might actually kill me!”
“I’m sorry! Can we skip hitting the face? I still need it to make a living!”
“Help! Someone save me! Quick!”
I initially didn't hit too hard, but seeing Chen Haiping's exaggerated expression left me speechless. I finally understood where that evil spirit learned its dramatic performance.
"Chen Haiping, since you enjoy screaming so much, I'll give you something to scream about," I said coldly, deliberately landing a few heavy punches on him. He gasped for air, taking a long time to recover.
"Dinglingling~~ Dinglingling~~"
After a while, the phone on the easel rang, indicating that three minutes had passed.
I stood up from Chen Haiping, looking at his face, which was now swollen and misshapen. I felt a sense of satisfaction. Since Chen Haiping chose to confront me, he had to be prepared for a beating. Fortunately, he didn't show any strong murderous intent; otherwise, his fate would have been much worse.
I put on a friendly smile and reached out to pull Chen Haiping up. "Chen Haiping, let's consider our previous issues settled. I'm glad to meet you, and I believe we'll get along well!"
Chen Haiping touched his deformed face and forced a bitter smile. He took my hand and stood up awkwardly. "Jiang Ling, does this count as not fighting but getting to know each other?"
I chuckled awkwardly, unsure of what to say. Just then, Qin Hui and his group rushed over.
"Jiang Ling, Chen Haiping, what are you doing here? Hey, Chen Haiping, what happened to your face? How did you get beaten up like this?" Qin Hui asked, and the others gathered around, bombarding Chen Haiping with questions about his condition.
Taking advantage of the distraction, I squeezed out of the crowd and pulled a strap from my bag to bandage my hand. Then I picked up the paint box that Chen Haiping had dropped earlier.
I scraped off a piece of paint with my finger and rubbed it vigorously before bringing it to my nose for a sniff.
A faint metallic odor hit me, causing me to furrow my brows in uncertainty. "Damn it, this paint can't be made from those Mud Pills, can it?"
If my guess was correct, it would explain why only male evil spirits appeared.
These spirits could no longer be considered normally born; they resembled incarnations of Eerie Aura instead. This also explained why they harbored Eerie Aura within them. As for their appearance, it likely stemmed from their encounters with hotel guests, which they then transformed into.
I tossed the paint box aside and stood up to gaze at the nearby lake, my brow tightly knitted together. A look of confusion flickered in my eyes as I muttered to myself, "These Mud Pills contain elements that enhance Daoist Magic and Eerie Aura for creating evil spirits. Where did this come from? Is it really related to the ancient tomb we're heading to?"
The color darkened, and Qin Hui and the others were afraid of hitting something dirty, so they stopped collecting Mud Pills. A group of us sat in the van, heading towards the hotel.
After finishing dinner outside, we returned to the hotel at eleven o'clock at night.
Qin Hui opened the door, put the sack on the floor, and looked at me with a grin. "Buddy, thanks for today! Auntie keeps her word. If you want to find a girlfriend, I can definitely introduce you to the prettiest girl in our village. I know a good girl with a nice figure; she looks like she would be great for childbearing. Should I give you her phone number?"
I awkwardly rubbed my nose and replied, "Auntie, I already have a girlfriend, so there's no need for an introduction."
"Having a girlfriend is fine! Whenever you break up with her, just give me a call. I'll help you out!" Qin Hui laughed.
I felt embarrassed and didn't dare to continue the conversation with Qin Hui, so I turned and ran up to the third floor.
"Huh? What's going on here?" As soon as I stepped onto the third floor, I saw two groups of people standing inside, and the atmosphere was charged with tension.
"Xu Mancheng, what do you mean by this? That bag of pills was found by us; do you really want to snatch it away? Don't think that just because you have more people, we'll be afraid of you!"
"Heh heh, Wu Mao, those things aren't yours. As they say, everyone who sees it has a share; shouldn't you take it out so we can split it evenly?"
