77: 77.
Vase Man, True Disciple 77: 77.
Vase Man, True Disciple Midnight, 12 o’clock, the neighborhood was filled with common folk who, having been busy all day, had long since gone to bed.
On the deserted street, two silhouettes appeared abruptly.
Their gait was bizarre, hopping and swaying as if carried by the wind, like a plastic bag in the breeze.
If not for their shadows under the streetlights, they hardly seed alive.
The eerie figures floated into a courtyard and, within monts, carried out an unconscious pregnant woman over the wall.
“Follow them and we’ll find the mastermind behind this!”
Xiao Cha hurriedly shouldered Lu Li and gave chase, while the silhouetted figures with the pregnant woman made haste towards the city outskirts.
In order not to startle the quarry, Lu Li and Xiao Cha stopped 500 ters away, primarily using drones to track the progress.
Despite the darkness, the images relayed back were not very clear, but adequate.
The kidnappers did not notice the eyes in the sky and continued on their strange path, swiftly leaving the city in just a quarter of an hour.
They did not go very far, just to the outskirts of the city, heading straight for a manor by the Hai River.
Old brick walls patched together, lined with row upon row of large red lanterns, a plaque hung high above the entrance displaying the words “Xiangyi Garden.”
Xiao Cha quickly recognized it and said, “It’s a Yahang property, it should be here.
I’ll catch those bastards and interrogate them!”
The girl took a deep breath and her long legs exploded with force, shooting out like a bolt of electricity!
The wind whipped at their faces, and Lu Li felt they must be going at least 80 kiloters per hour!
This was the burst speed of a Refining Organ Martial Artist, Xiao Cha, carrying Lu Li, easily maneuvered around to overtake the kidnappers.
The two produced guns, each hiding behind a tree, planning an ambush.
The kidnappers were also closing in quickly…
By the moonlight, Lu Li and Xiao Cha got a clear look at the figures and were startled!
The kidnappers weren’t living people at all, but…
Papern!
They were the kind of paper figures burned at ancestor worship ceremonies, their features drawn on with ink, cheeks daubed with rouge; as bizarre as they co!
In an instant, the two paper faces twisted around, the creepy two-dinsional eyes staring down Xiao Cha!
“Move!”
The arrow was on the string, Lu Li used his spirit to snatch the pregnant woman into the air.
At the sa ti, his Children’s Rifle fired, punching a row of holes through the two eerie Papern.
The effect was minimal, but as the Papern started to approach, Xiao Cha’s Repeater tily fired.
With a single shot, the steel balls blasted a Paperman right in the chest, splitting it into three pieces.
Right after, Xiao Cha flicked out a Nine-Section Steel Whip from her waist!
With a loud “crack,” the remaining Paperman was whipped into shreds, scattering paper all around.
“They’re quite strange…
but they don’t seem too powerful.”
Xiao Cha picked up a scrap from the ground and easily tore it apart.
But Lu Li said, “Our enemies know we’re here now.”
As the words fell, the gates of the distant manor swung open.
Twelve Papern, carrying a sedan chair, floated out in a swaying motion.
Beside the chair was a tall figure shrouded in a black cloak.
Seeing this person, Xiao Cha felt an inexplicable tightening in her heart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the two Papern abducting the pregnant woman were destroyed, inside Xiangyi Garden, an elegant man was quietly writing.
A brush was controlled by an invisible force, writing on a plain paper fan:
“May I be like the stars and you the moon, night after night we shed light bright and clear.”
As soon as the neatly written small script appeared, it was absorbed by the fan.
Soon, another line of words appeared in response: “Brother Wang, you’re being naughty~ Flirting with ~”
This fan was clearly…
a ssaging app.
The woman’s coquettish retort elicited a knowing smile from the elegant man, but his expression quickly changed.
For another line had appeared on the fan: “I’m going to Jinn in a couple of days, shall we et then?”
The online friend wanted to et, and Brother Wang’s face suddenly turned incredibly gloomy.
He lowered his head to look at his body, as a bulging vein struggled out on his forehead.
But at that mont, he sensed sothing and looked in the direction of Lu Li and Xiao Cha, sneering,
“The timing of the ants’ arrival is just perfect!”
“Bring forth the palanquin!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the entrance of Xiangyi Garden,
Countless paper figures erged, carrying a palanquin.
The palanquin, also made of paper, was garishly colorful.
The curtain was drawn, and the person inside was not visible.
Imdiately afterward, the palanquin emitted an invisible fluctuation that swept across the entire area, making the hairs on Lu Li’s arms stand on end.
“Radar?”
This was clearly a thod for seeking out enemies!
Sure enough, all the paper figures turned to look this way!
A refined male voice from within the palanquin said, “Since you’ve co, show yourself quickly.”
The two sides were separated by 200 ters, yet the voice clearly reached their ears…
“The voice is spreading through the spirit!”
At this mont, before even officially eting, Lu Li had already learned two tricks!
Cultivation talks about “Wealth, Comrades, Dharma, and Place,” and “Comrades” includes not only Daoist partners for discussing and validating opinions, but also formidable enemies for fighting and competing!
Lu Li felt a thrill of excitent and reminded Xiao Cha,
“When we start fighting, don’t stand behind , my tube will spray sothing that could scorch you.”
When a rocket launcher fires, it ejects a high-temperature jet from the back, and Xiao Cha nodded in understanding.
Then, the two of them went to et this encounter’s opponent.
The range of the rocket launcher was not far; it needed to be within 100 ters to have a 90% hit rate.
Naturally, Lu Li preferred the closer, the better.
“It would be best to get within 50 ters…
That way, there would be a certainty of hitting the target!”
Unfortunately, the enemy was not foolish.
Just as they entered the distance of 100 ters, the voice from the palanquin said,
“I always feel that letting you get close would lead to sothing bad happening.”
Along with its words, a tall figure next to the palanquin suddenly leaped high, blocking the path from above.
This person was wrapped tightly in a black cloak from head to toe, his face unclear.
Lu Li and Xiao Cha had no ti to deal with this person, as their opponent finally revealed his true face!
Suddenly, the palanquin curtain, which had been as opaque as yellow paper, beca transparent, exposing the person behind it.
It was an overweight man, with a gentle and refined appearance, sporting a ticulously combed center-parted hairstyle.
On his own, the head looked quite normal, but the part below his neck was stuffed into a ter-tall white porcelain “vase”!
Without arms or legs, he was rely a “Vase Man” growing out of a flower vase!
“The 7th generation True Disciple of Jiushan Sect—Wang Naiwu, pleased to et this fellow practitioner.”
“Vase Man” Wang Naiwu introduced himself politely, then stared into Lu Li’s eyes, seemingly waiting for sothing.
After a while, seeing no response from Lu Li, Wang Naiwu gave a self-deprecating smile and shook his head,
“As I thought, a Loose Cultivator without manners.
Kill them.”
Without further ado, they aid to kill.
In an instant, countless paper figures sward over, fluttering through the sky.
They were just a disturbance for assistance; the main attack ca from the cloaked tall figure!
It let out a terrifying, muffled roar and charged fiercely!
Xiao Cha unceremoniously raised two repeaters and bombarded away, shattering its cloak to reveal its true face…
Dark purple skin, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and three-inch-long pitch-black fingernails—it was simply a monster!
But Xiao Cha turned pale with shock, “Daddy!!!”
