Chapter 131: The Masked Yun ngxi!
Translator: 549690339 |
That fox mask gave Xu Yang an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
He had previously seen a female internet celebrity who could open beer bottle caps in various ways on the Internet, wearing this kind of mask, only covering the upper part of her mouth.
She was eating instant noodles.
Her eyes occasionally swept across the computer screen displaying the surveillance feeds, focusing precisely on the area outside Xu Yang’s room.
Suddenly.
A soft sound ca from outside the room.
“Who’s there?”
The woman instantly beca alert, a faintly gleaming short sword appearing in her hand after wiping her palm on her calf.
Inside the room, gray fog was rolling.
A figure erged from the fog, short in stature, only about four feet tall, with an aged face and a sinister aura, holding a walking stick taller than himself.
“What are you doing here?”
The woman scowled under her mask, clearly displeased, “I’ve already taken on this mission, don’t you know?”
” Do you think I’ m here willingly?”
The old man laughed softly, “If Elder San weren’t afraid that you’d die here, why would I travel all this way back? Wouldn’t it have been better to stay overseas and draw upon the power of faith in incense for cultivation?”
The woman sneered, “A re beginner in the Dao Realm, even if he managed to enter through thunder, would never be able to withstand my Hei igui’s assassination… Even before I beca a Grandmaster, I was a top-tier assassin successfully killing martial arts Grandmasters and Daoist cultivators in the Entering Dao Realm.”
The old man reached out and grabbed two tiny paper figures from the corner of the room, which fell uncontrollably into his hand.
He laughed, “You didn’t even know your room was infiltrated, and you call yourself a top-tier assassin? What kind of garbage has the organization been cultivating all these years?”
“What?”
The woman was shocked.
She looked at the two paper figures in the old man’s hand and yelled, “Who are you? How dare you spy on , Hei igui?”
Slap!
The two paper figures suddenly lost their vitality and fell limp in the old man’s palm.
The old man crushed the paper figures with a light pinch and blew the ashes off his hand. He said, “With the Daoist Convention right around the corner, Zhouzhi County is crawling with both good and bad people. Since you arrived early, you must have figured out whose masterpiece these paper figures are, right?”
After thinking for a mont, the woman replied, “After infiltrating Zhouzhi County, I covertly investigated various martial world individuals…The only one who knows this secret technique is the old Trickster Sect man. However, he is too timid, so how could he dare to spy on ?”
“I know the old man from the Trickster Sect; he is indeed quite talented. However, the Trickster Sect already disintegrated more than a hundred years ago, and most of its disciples went overseas. They’re not worth ntioning to us.”
The old man said, “Of course, you can’t be careless. Da Xia has a long history, and there are hidden talents among the common people. Maybe there’s a mysterious expert who knows this secret technique…When are you planning to make your move?”
“Tomorrow!”
The woman said, “There are several powerful ghosts accompanying the target, so I cannot act here. After the target finishes attending the Daoist Convention tomorrow, I’ll launch my attack on the way back… He’s a Daoist cultivator and his body isn’t very strong, so as long as I get close, I’ll have an 80% chance of killing him.”
The old man laughed, “With , it’ll be a 100% chance!”
As the two of them plotted,
On the other side, Xu Yang’s face was filled with rage!
“This damn Asura Sect…They really sent people?”
He had already severed his connection with the paper figures and was unaware of the woman’s subsequent planning with the old man… But clearly, it must have been about how to kill him!
“Noway!”
“I can’t just wait for death!”
“What if they fire a rocket and level my room, or just use a machine gun to shoot… How can I dodge?”
Although the likelihood of this happening was slim,
It wasn’t impossible.
After all, the Asura Sect was a “foreign” organization, and it wouldn’t be difficult for them to acquire such weapons with their resources.
To avoid these troubles, the best option would be to take the initiative and strike first. However, Xu Yang did not act recklessly. Instead, the image of the old man erging from the gray fog popped up in his mind.
Xu Yang was very familiar with that gray fog.
Though unable to perceive the old man’s aura through the “vision” of the paper figures, Xu Yang was quite certain… That old man must be a “sinister deity.”
Piecing together the old man’s features, Xu Yang imdiately had his suspicions…
“Could that old man be a land deity?”
Land was considered part of the legitimate gods conferred by Heaven and Earth. In ancient tis, “land deities” were the most prevalent, and almost every place had a Land Deity Temple.
Gradually, however, people began to believe in science and viewed these ghostly beliefs as superstitious. Most of the “Land Deity Temples” were demolished, leveled, and now have beco barely visible among the people.
Xu Yang turned back to see Liu Shishi and the others playing cards again. He asked, “What’s the general strength of a land deity?”
Yun ngxi replied without hesitation, “Land deities are among the weakest Yin deities in the human realm, similar to Kitchen Gods. The stronger ones are only equivalent to the Entering Dao Realm. However, since they are part of the land itself and can harness the power of geomantic ons, they are more formidable within their domain.”
“Goingfor 2, 3 to 10… No takers, right? Haha, I’ve got a small 4…”
She threw down her card, and with a triumphant expression, stretched her hand out toward Liu Shishi, Yue Yuluo, and Yang Yin, “Pay up, pay up! Hurry up, I’ve got a bomb to detonate, and we’re doubling up!”
The three female ghosts each took out a gold bar.
Damn!
Xu Yang was shocked, this… this…
What a high stakes Landlord ga they were playing!
While showing off her card shuffling skills like a gambling god, Yun ngxi said, “Of course, if it’s transford into an evil deity, it might not be the case.”
“Alright,”
Xu Yang said, “Finish your ga and help with sothing.”
“What do you need?”
“I’ll tell you after this round.”
When the round of cards ended, Xu Yang said with a serious look, “I’m being watched!”
Yang Yin was shocked and started looking for caras in the room, saying, “I saw on the internet that many landlords secretly install surveillance caras in rented rooms to peep into people’s private lives… Did we co across such a pervert?”
Xu Yang couldn’t help but laugh and explained, “No, the landlord is already under control, and the surveillance caras he installed can see the outside of every room.”
“My paper effigy just investigated. The person spying on is from the Asura Sect. There’s a martial arts grandmaster nad Hei igui and an old man who, if I’m not mistaken, is a land deity… Although, he should have already beco an evil deity.”
“That’s great!”
Yang Yin patted her towering chest, looking relieved, “You scared ! I thought we were being spied on!”
Yue Yuluo, Liu Shishi, and Yun ngxi breathed a sigh of relief as well.
For them, the Asura Sect assassins and the land deity were much less frightening than being secretly fild.
“Junior Harrison, what should we do?”
Yun ngxi took out a waterlon knife and shouted, “Do we kill him on the spot or cripple him first?”
“There’s surveillance outside the door…so, ngxi, we can’t go through the front door, or we’ll be seen,” Xu Yang instructed. “Shishi, Yuluo, Yang Yin, conceal yourselves, don’t open the door, but go through the walls. Don’t do anything when you reach the landlord’s room. Wait until ngxi and I arrive.”
The three won agreed and transford into a Yin wind, flying out.
Yun ngxi looked around the room and wondered, “There’s only one door and two windows in this room. If we don’t use the door, do we go through the walls?”
This guesthouse was a remodeled house belonging to the landlord.
It had only two floors, and Xu Yang lived on the first floor.
In response to Yun ngxi’s question, Xu Yang nodded and said, “That’s right; we’ll go through the walls.”
“Alright!”
Yun ngxi held up the waterlon knife and moved to the backwall, ready to chop it down.
Xu Yang hurriedly stopped her, “What are you doing?”
“Didn’t you say to go through the walls? I’m a zombie, and I can’t go through walls. Can you?”
Yun ngxi said, “I’ll just chop the wall open, and we can walk out.”
Xu Yang was speechless.
Why was this girl so reckless?
He took out two wall-penetrating talismans and slapped one on himself. After activating it, he easily passed through the wall. He stuck his head back in and said, “This is a wall-penetrating talisman that I learned from Zongsheng Palace. If you use it, you can go through walls.”
Yun ngxi ignored Xu Yang’s words and just swung her waterlon knife. The sturdy wall was cut like tofu, creating a “door” over a ter wide and two ters high.
She gently pushed the “door” outward.
She had easily cut through the concrete wall.
Xu Yang quickly pulled his head back and propped up the “door” to avoid making noise. He angrily said, “I gave you the talisman, didn’t I? Why didn’t you use the wall-penetrating talisman?”
Yun ngxi gave Xu Yang an exasperated look and stuck the wall-penetrating talisman on her chest.
Chila!
The wall-penetrating talisman worth 500,000 dollars burned and turned into ashes.
Xu Yang:
He laughed awkwardly and said, “It’s okay, we just broke a little part of the wall. I’m sure the landlord won’t give us a hard ti… Let’s go, Shishi and the others are waiting for us!”
Damn it!
He almost forgot that zombies can’t use Daoist talismans…
The landlord’s room was on the second floor. One person and one zombie hid their auras and walked up the stairs silently. They saw Liu Shishi, Yang Yin, and Yue Yuluo, the three ghosts, already standing outside the door.
“What’s the situation?”
Xu Yang asked when he approached them.
“You’re right, it’s indeed a martial arts grandmaster accompanied by a land deity. This land deity’s aura is similar to Zhou Jie’s Rush Thunder Hand, so I can easily deal with him.”
Liu Shishi said, “However, I’m not very familiar with the evil deity’s thods. In addition, he’s a land deity, so he might escape by tunnelling underground. Set up a Daoist formation first to ensure nothing goes wrong.”
Xu Yang imdiately took out a bunch of Daoist talismans and stuck them around the landlord’s room.
To prevent the land deity from tunneling underground, he even went downstairs, knocked on the doors of the rooms below, and stuck dozens of Daoist talismans on the ceilings.
After doing all this, Xu Yang quietly returned to the second floor and said, “Shishi and I will go in together later…”
Bang!
Before he could finish his sentence, Yun ngxi pulled out a black cloth from sowhere and quickly tied it around her face as a mask. She then kicked open the door and rushed in with the knife raised.
Blades flashed all over the room, and the sound of slicing through the air was continuous. Asura Sect’s Hei igui cried out in disbelief, “Impossible!” “Absolutely impossible!”
“My dagger was soaked in deadly poison which could instantly take down even a giant elephant, so why are you unaffected?”
PS: The second update is here. I’m at my mother-in-law’s house today, and we all had hot pot in the afternoon. So the second update is a little late, but I’ll continue writing!
