This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

Chapter 107: Chapter 99: Forcing the Ghost to Play Whac- A-Mole!

“What?”

The assassin was dumbfounded, and quickly said, “Brother, don’t misunderstand, I just talked trash on the internet, and I never really thought about killing you.”

His right shoulder was disabled at this moment, and he couldn’t even lift his right arm.

Moreover, because of the need to take a flight, he didn’t carry any weapons at all!

After all, as a professional killer, anything could be a weapon to commit murder. His plan was to get off the plane, find the target in Wu City, and then customize an “assassination” plan.

Who would have thought that a Cheng Yaojin would pop out halfway?

Yes!

Until now, he hadn’t realized that the person in front of him was his intended target.

In an instant, Xu Yang was close, wielding a sledgehammer.

And then…

Bam!

Xu Yang quickly took a punch and stumbled back several steps.

“You’re not a martial artist, you’re a Daoist practitioner?”

The assassin, with only his left arm, managed to fight off Xu Yang, suddenly filled with confidence and sneered, “Who gave you the confidence, to let a Daoist like you dare to fight me up close?”

“I’ve been learning martial arts since I was 6 years old. At 16,1 could fight wild beasts in the mountains!”

“At the age of 18,1 killed someone, earning my first pot of gold… I now carry the weight of nine lives, including a half-step Grandmaster. With just you, you think you can kill me?”

Although his right hand was disabled,

his spirit was strong at the moment.

He approached step by step, sneering, “Judging by your moves, you must have never fought others before, right? In that case, I’ll end your life today, and then head to Wu City to kill the heir of Supreme Sage Qingxu!”

Xu Yang took off his mask, licked his lips.

He didn’t feel discouraged, but smiled, “As expected of an Asura Sect assassin, I underestimated you… You’re right, as a Daoist, close combat with a martial artist is indeed a terrible choice!”

“But can you compare to the methods of us Daoists?”

He turned his hand,

pulling out three Daoist talismans.

Bam!

The first talisman exploded.

A layer of golden light spread around Xu Yang.

Following the explosion of the second talisman, Xu Yang felt a sudden surge of strength. With the explosion of the third talisman, his body felt lighter, and his speed increased by more than 50%!

Diamond Talisman, Divine Strength Talisman, Movement Talisman!

“Xu Yang!”

As Xu Yang removed his mask, the assassin finally recognized his face. He tried to dodge, but…

Unfortunately, Xu Yang’s Land Flight Skill was already well developed, his movement was exceptional, and with the Movement Talisman’s boost, his speed increased dramatically. How could the assassin avoid it?

The power of the 9th layer of Qi Refining Realm was wildly running, under the support of the Divine Strength Talisman, Xu Yang’s hammer fell, even making a sonic boom sound.

The most terrifying thing was that at this moment, there was lightning and fire surrounding the sledgehammer.

This was Xu Yang’s sudden inspiration, applying the Fire Manipulation Skill and Wulei Rules onto the sledgehammer!

Indeed, the power of this hammer increased greatly. The assassin raised his left arm to block it, but with a cracking sound, his left arm was bent directly.

He gritted his teeth and kicked towards Xu Yang’s chest. With a “thud” sound, it felt as if he was kicking a steel wall!

Diamond Talisman!

The Diamond Talisman was indeed a Daoist defensive talisman, protecting not only against “Yin spirits and malevolent beings”!

Once activated, the Diamond Talisman was like a protective armor, impervious to water and fire, and resistant to all evils!

Xu Yang laughed heartily, wielding the sledgehammer again. Lightning and fire danced on the hammerhead!

Crack!

The sound of a skull shattering rang out.

The assassin’s mouth and nose bled profusely, and his body swayed before slowly falling to the ground.

Xu Yang put away the sledgehammer, took a deep breath!

“The Asura Sect’s assassin is indeed formidable… Fortunately, I took the initiative to hunt him down, disabling his right shoulder when he was unarmed, greatly reducing his combat power.”

“Otherwise, even with the help of the Movement Talisman, Diamond Talisman, and Divine Strength Talisman, I’m afraid I’d have to use some effort to kill him.”

Xu Yang took out his phone.

He called Wang Lin once again.

After all, a person was killed and although it was a justifiable self-defense, it would still cause unnecessary trouble if the body was left behind. It was better to inform the Supernatural Affairs Bureau.

While making a call, he reached out to search the assassin’s body.

ID Card?

Bank card?

“Cai Kun?”

“This name should be real… After all, a fake ID wouldn’t be allowed on the plane. I should ask Wang Lin to check his background later.”

As for the bank card, Xu Yang couldn’t get the money inside, so he just threw it away.

The phone rang for nearly 30 seconds before Wang Lin finally answered, sounding groggy, “Master Xu… What’s up?”

But in his heart, he couldn’t help but complain.

Damn!

What’s up with Master Xu?

Why is he calling again? Can’t a person catch some sleep?

I just went to bed…

Xu Yang, however, was cursing in his heart. It was already past 5 in the morning, and the sky was about to light up. Hadn’t this boy woken up yet?

As a martial artist, how could he practice well if he only got up when the sky was bright?

He went straight to the point: “I killed someone!”

“???”

Wang Lin immediately lost all sleepiness, asking, “Who?”

“An Asura Sect assassin named Cai Kun…,” said Xu Yang honestly. “I found out he was coming to kill me, so I drove to the airport entrance, disguised as a private car driver, and took him to a secluded place to take action first and killed him… Wang Lin, this counts as justifiable self-defense, right? I don’t need to bear any responsibility?”

Wang Lin: ”??? ”

Indeed, this was justifiable self-defense.

But based on your description…

It doesn’t seem quite right?

However, all members of the Asura Sect must be eliminated, so killing them is a good thing.

Wang Lin asked Xu Yang for the location and said, “Alright, Master Xu, you wait there, I’ll be right over… Oh right!”

Before hanging up, Wang Lin remembered something and said, “Oh right, Master Xu, you must be very careful. The Asura Sect people practice evil sorcery, and there are malevolent beings and Yin spirits in their organization!”

“Some members of the Asura Sect turn into fierce ghosts right after they die… There have been many cases like that.”

“Really?”

Xu Yang was delighted. He was worried that killing the Asura Sect member wouldn’t bring any benefits. He immediately said, “Alright, alright, hurry up and send people over. I want to see if this guy will turn into a fierce ghost.”

After hanging up, Xu Yang carefully observed the corpse on the ground.

There was indeed an odd power spreading over the corpse.

This power was filled with an evil aura, resembling a combination of resentment, malicious intent, and killing Qi… It must be due to a secret technique the guy practiced while he was alive, ensuring that he would turn into a fierce ghost after death!

Xu Yang’s eyes sparkled as he took out his ink brush and flicked ink lines within a ten-meter radius around the corpse as the central point.

Then, he lit a cigarette, sat beside the corpse, and quietly waited.

As time passed, the evil aura emanating from the corpse grew stronger, and its flesh and blood withered away at a visible pace, soon turning into a dried corpse!

Woooooo!!!!!

Suddenly, the wind blew.

In the night sky, a Yin wind howled, rustling through the nearby cornfields.

“Hahahaha!”

“Xu Yang!”

“You think you can kill me?”

“Now that I’ve turned into a fierce ghost, I’m at the level of Red Robe… I won’t let you off even as a ghost!”

A ghostly figure appeared above the corpse, his appearance identical to the corpse. He was not yet fully condensed into a Yin Body, but he laughed arrogantly… However, his laughter abruptly ceased!

“You… you… why are you still here?”

He saw Xu Yang sitting beside his corpse.

Dammit!

Who the hell kills someone and then guards the corpse?

Isn’t that just bullying?

Swish!

The not-yet-fully-formed Yin Body tried to turn into a streak of Yin wind and fly away.

Unfortunately, Xu Yang had already set up a Heavenly Net around the corpse.

With a hum, the ink lines on the ground transformed into laser-like red light beams, crisscrossing and forming a huge square net, blocking all four directions—front, back, left, and right!

The Yin wind made a U-turn and rushed towards the sky.

With a splash, a firewall suddenly appeared in the sky.

There were even lightning flashes on the firewall, crackling as it struck the Yin wind and sent it crashing back down!

“Ding!”

“The ghost was frightened, merit points +50.”

“Ding!”

“The ghost was frightened, merit points +50.”

“Ding…”

A series of system alert sounds rang in his mind. The crashed ghost trembled in fear and cried out, “No… Xu Yang, it was my mistake to accept this mission!”

“I shouldn’t have tried to kill you…”

“I’m already dead and have turned into a ghost. I have been punished. Please spare me!”

“I can go back to the Asura Sect and ask their higher-ups to cancel the kill order on you… Otherwise, even if you kill me, you’ll still face endless pursuit in the future…”

Cai Kun was scared!

As he begged for mercy, he cursed Lu Shan Sect, “Damn it!”

“This damned Lu Shan Sect… Their information was wrong!”

“Qi Refining Realm Fourth Stage? Qi Refining Realm Fourth Stage?”

“This the hell is not Qi Refining Realm Fourth Stage…”

Next to the corpse,

Xu Yang took a puff of his cigarette, then snuffed it out on the ground. He casually stood up, brushed the dirt off his butt, and held the hammer in his hand. Occasionally, several arcs of electricity flashed over the hammer.

With a faint smile, he walked towards the shivering ghost on the ground, “I can let you go… but only if you tell me where the Asura Sect’s headquarters is. Then I’ll spare your life.”

Saying that,

Bang!

The hammer fell!

The ghost formed from Cai Kun shifted half a foot on the ground, barely dodging the hammer strike.

He yelled, “I don’t know… I don’t know where the Asura Sect’s headquarters are. It’s a mystery… Our usual way to contact and receive missions is through the dark web!”

Bang!

Xu Yang smashed down with another hammer strike.

He deliberately missed, scaring the ghost into wailing and earning Xu Yang several hundred more merit points.

Xu Yang sneered, “You don’t even know this, what use do I have for you?”

Cai Kun: “No… I am useful. I am now a Red Robe, and I know that you Daoists love to raise ghosts… I can be your most loyal dog!”

“What the hell do I need a male ghost for?”

Xu Yang swung the hammer down again, his eyes suddenly lit up, and said, “How about this, you play a game with me, and if you win, I’ll let you go?”

Xu Yang pointed to the ground and said, “I’ve laid out a Heavenly Net within a ten-meter radius around your corpse, and even if you try to burrow underground, you can’t escape… However, you can move freely within this ten- meter range.”

“Have you ever played Whac-A-Mole?”

“You’ll be the mole, and I’ll whack you…”

Anyway, Wang Lin and the others would be arriving soon.

He had to farm merit points… With a long night ahead, playing Whac-A-Mole could help kill time, a triple win situation!
