Chapter 87: A Chance? Here’s One for You!
Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu
In the quiet car, that sound was so abrupt that it was impossible to ignore.
The pale-faced Altar Master glanced at the young man out of the corner of his eye, and then his eyes were firmly fixed on the pendant. Then, with his mouth wide open, he froze.
“Sorry to disturb you two.” Raising the corners of his mouth, the young man looked at Altar Master with a faint smile. “Shall I introduce myself?”
Then, the young man said coldly, “My name is Song Shuhang.”
It was just a nice but common male name.
The Western monk didn’t understand why the mysterious young man introduced himself at this time. But then, he saw the mighty Altar Master suddenly turn pale!
Look at his face. It’s like it’s the end of the world!
Maybe there is some hope for me?! the Western monk thought.
Seeing this, Song Shuhang lowered his eyes, raising the corners of his mouth higher.
Then, a piece of talisman slipped from his fingers and he shouted lightly, “Break!”
It was an evil-warding talisman!
A violent, unbeatable spiritual energy was released from the talisman!
It was a great spiritual energy that Altar Master and the Western monk could not imagine. Like a hurricane, it swept through the car.
In an instant, the negative energy in the car released by ghosts was soon dispelled!
The ghost who was released by Altar Master to destroy the surveillance cameras of the car was crushed by the enormous power of the spiritual energy, and turned into small energy particles in the air before it was able to let out a shriek of anguish.
Ghost General Ku You behind Altar Master had not been spared. The half of his body that was placed in the car to protect Altar Master was directly dissolved by the furious spiritual energy.
“Ooooooo!” Ghost General Ku You screamed painfully, and quickly retreated from the car.
However, it was too late!
Not letting it go, the power of the evil-warding talisman kept chasing the ghost general, and drove it two cars away!
When the power of the evil-warding talisman dispersed, Ghost General Ku You only had one tenth of its body remaining. Extremely weak, it hid in the car and couldn’t move.
All the changes happened in the blink of an eye!
After that, the Western monk felt everything suddenly brightened up before his eyes. The negative energy released by the ghosts and shrouding the car was dispelled. The car turned bright again. The passengers caught in horrific illusion also calmed down. No longer shivering with terror, they were sleeping.
The Western monk exulted at the change—as the Chinese saying went, it was like a sudden glimpse of hope in the dark mist of bewilderment!
However, Altar Master looked pale and kept retreating.
As an evil ghost cultivator, he had the true qi in his body of ‘Yin’ nature. Though he would not be taken as a ghost and ‘purified’ by the evil-warding talisman, he still suffered a lot from the hurricane of spiritual energy. In addition to the poison in his body, he just felt terrible.
And what was worse, why was that Senior Song here…?
Altar Master felt his legs trembling, and he couldn’t even stand.
According to the clues left by the four ingredients, shouldn’t this senior go to Yuan Long Drugstore? Why was he here!?
Maybe… it was a part of his trap? The whole thing was aimed to trap him within this narrow car?
So his luck didn’t turn. The good fortune before was just an illusion of a dying man?
Are you kidding me?
❄️❄️❄️
Song Shuhang showed a bigger smile on his face… Now he could be certain of the true identity of the ghost cultivator in front of him.
He was stunned instead of surprised when he saw the ghost spirit pendant; he was shocked when he heard the name of Song Shuhang; he turned pale and couldn’t wait to escape after seeing him use the evil-warding talisman. Besides, there was a faint, specific smell of medicine on him.
Undoubtedly, he was Altar Master.
He didn’t expect that the guy was taking the subway to leave ‘Yuan Long Drugstore’. Well, he almost missed him.
Luckily, he met the cute loli today, and his ‘bleeding heart’ personality took effect, so he kept holding her and traveled for three more subway stops. Otherwise, even if he managed to arrive at Yuan Long Drugstore today, he wouldn’t be able to find any clue on Altar Master.
Fancy finding by sheer luck what he had searched for far and wide!
Who said good people wouldn’t be rewarded?
Sometimes good people would have good luck!
Even though the scene was different from the one he planned, he met with Altar Master in advance.
But he liked the change!
Now, what am I gonna do?
Of course, I’m gonna take advantage of everything I have—the three kinds of talismans, the invisible flying sword, and… the identity of being Senior Song!
Now what he would do was to maintain the momentum and showcase some imposing manner!
He had to keep his image as a great senior. If necessary, he could try to deter Alter Master. In a word, he had to intimidate the guy. Otherwise, if Altar Master found out about his real strength, he would kill him in minutes.
In short, it was time to act like a boss.
And, he had to make it look real. Once he failed, the consequences would be terrible.
Filled with wild thoughts, Song Shuhang showed no emotion. He just said coolly, “Well, without these filthy things, we can have a good talk.”
The indifferent look made people feel that dispelling the ghosts in the car was as easy as breathing for him.
❄️❄️❄️
Have a good talk… talk about how I’m gonna die?
At this moment, Altar Master had only one idea in his mind: escape.
It was undeniable that sometimes, the ‘first impression’ was very important. Altar Master firmly believed that Song Shuhang was a senior cultivator, and had no doubt of it! As a cautious, timid ghost cultivator, he was quite proficient in escaping. He had all kinds of methods to escape, which were simply beyond one’s imagination.
Not only unfathomable and having a lot of magic treasures, this Senior Song was also cruel and good at wielding poison. However, he was extremely weak and got poisoned now. There wasn’t even a slim chance for him to win. Thus, he could only run for his life.
Where there was life, there was hope!
However, as soon as the idea popped out in his mind, he saw the young man-looking Senior Song, who was standing opposite of him, slowly pull out an intangible thing.
It was something he could not see with naked eyes, but… he could vaguely feel something sharp and dangerous.
He got this feeling from a mighty cultivator he had met many years ago. It was a flying sword! For a flying sword, beheading people from thousands miles away would be as easy as taking out something from a pocket. That was the power of a flying sword. It was fast as hell.
He remembered when he was still in First Stage Realm—he was lucky enough to follow several senior cultivators to explore some ancient ruins.
During the exploration, he wanted to pee, so he took a chance to pee at a corner of a wall. At that moment, a senior cultivator who owned a flying sword suddenly summoned it, which then flew away and beheaded his enemy thousand miles away in an instant. And then, the flying sword flew back… before Altar Master finished peeing.
In the face of such a treasure, he had nowhere to run. Thinking so, Altar Master stopped retreating.
❄️❄️❄️
As I expected, even if the naked eye can’t see it, as long as I hold the flying sword and consciously show the ‘flying sword’ to the enemy, cultivators in Second Stage Realm or above will feel it. Song Shuhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, he saw that Altar Master had the intention to escape, so he tried to deter him with the flying sword—he could not let Altar Master escape, otherwise it would be too difficult for him to find him again in the boundless huge crowd of mortals.
At the same time, he secretly held a ‘sword talisman’ in his hand. Once Altar Master was about to escape, the sword talisman would chop at him immediately. However, this was the last resort—Song Shuhang was not sure whether a sword talisman could kill Altar Master.
Fortunately, Altar Master was fooled by the ‘flying sword’.
Song Shuhang revealed an enigmatic smile. “Ah, you want to escape? Do you think you can escape from me?”
So embarrassing, Shuhang had goose bumps on his back when he was acting like a boss.
“Senior Song, I’m so sorry that I failed to recognize a great master like you and disturb you. Please… please give me a chance.” Without any way out, Altar Master begged for his mercy bitterly.
I just can’t escape this time… Altar Master thought.
This ‘chance’ would cost him an unimaginable price. And, he still didn’t know whether there was really a ‘chance’ for him or not.
“A chance? Hahaha.” Song Shuhang laughed loudly… while he was laughing, his brain ran like crazy, and a lot of plans popped up in his mind.
“This lord has given you so many chances, no?”
As Song Shuhang asked, Altar Master felt very regretful. Yes, he mistook the ‘senior’ for a mortal, and was blinded by greed. How dared he test the ‘senior’ over and over again.
“But, this lord can give you one last chance.” Song Shuhang rested his chin on the flying sword with the perfect bearing of a great master. He looked down at Altar Master, and said coldly, “In case people would say I bully a weak junior, and I would lose face.”
I’m just looking at an ant, only an ant, an ant! Song Shuhang continued to look down on Altar Master, and his eyes became devoid of any emotion.
Altar Master felt that with such eyes… Senior Song was staring at him like a primordial demon god mockingly looking at a small ant under his finger… so horrible!
