Chapter 108

Eighth Master Chang swept over the snow like a gale. In the blink of an eye, he had charged into the mass of Yellow Turban Ghosts.

He opened his huge mouth and inhaled, swallowing several Yellow Turban Ghost Soldiers as they shrieked in agony.

Then his tail curled around, strangling two more into wisps of black smoke.

“How about that, young master physician? Your old Eighth is still pretty impressive, right?”

Chen Daji howled with excitement and punched himself in the face with a bang, smashing his own nose until blood streamed out.

Then he pulled out his slingshot and fired the bloodstained stones one after another.

“I’ll nail you in the forehead!”

“I’ll nail you in the crotch!”

Relying on years of experience shooting birds and breaking other people’s windows, this bastard Chen Daji practically never missed.

Every Yellow Turban Ghost he hit dropped to the ground with a howl and could not get back up.

Those struck in their vital spots dissolved into the wind on the spot.

With Chen Daji and Eighth Master Chang working together, very few Yellow Turban Ghosts could get within three meters of the group.

The occasional one or two that slipped through the net became dazed under Hu Fei’er’s gaze, immediately turned their weapons around, and defected on the spot.

They spun around and attacked the other Yellow Turban Ghosts.

At first, Hemp-clad Grandmother, unable to stop worrying about Hua Jiunan and Chen Daji, had still been riding the Ghost Sedan above them.

But after seeing how ferocious this duo was, she finally relaxed.

She released two Human-skin Lanterns and charged toward the place where the Yellow Turban Ghosts were thickest.

“Jie jie jie! A pack of beasts who don’t know whether they’re dead or alive. Grandmother will give you a proper bit of love!”

With that, Hua Jiunan, who had no offensive methods at all, was left in an awkward position.

He stood alone on Eighth Master Chang’s back with nothing to do.

Though, admittedly, it did give him the rather dashing air of a “battlefield observer”…

The first to notice this was Hu Fei’er, whose attention was entirely on Hua Jiunan.

But even this beautiful young fox immortal had no solution.

It wasn’t as if she could catch a Yellow Turban Ghost, haul it onto Eighth Master Chang’s back, and hold it down for Hua Jiunan to beat up, right?

Soon after, Chen Daji also noticed Hua Jiunan’s predicament.

The bastard still had some conscience. He handed over the slingshot in his hand.

Then he gritted his teeth and punched himself in the nose again with another bang.

“Big Brother, use this to shoot them!”

“Don’t worry about wasting ‘ammo.’ I’m tough. I’ve got plenty of blood!”

Hua Jiunan was both touched and amused. He waved his hand, declining Chen Daji’s kind offer.

Chen Daji did not insist. He took the slingshot back and continued attacking the Yellow Turban Ghosts.

“I’ll smash those big foreheads of yours!”

On the surface, Hua Jiunan looked as steady as Mount Tai. In truth, he was anxious as hell.

How could he just stand here and watch? He had to do something!

All of a sudden, he remembered an immensely powerful Daoist art recorded in the Baopuzi Inner Chapters:

The Five Thunder Shattering Firmament Righteous Method!

However, the text had explained it very clearly:

Although this Daoist art was extremely lethal against yin beings, the user had to possess profound cultivation, great perseverance, and tremendous hidden virtue.

They also had to harbor righteous qi in their heart and be entirely free of evil thoughts before they could use it.

At the moment, Hua Jiunan could only be considered someone who had just begun cultivating. He still did not know that the more powerful a Daoist art was, the harsher its backlash would be.

With the attitude of, if it works, it works, and if it doesn’t, then forget it-it’s not like it costs anything-he took out the peach-wood sword tucked inside his clothes and began chanting the incantation.

“Heaven is round, earth is square. Nine chapters of command and law. I hold the command sword; ten thousand ghosts shall bow and hide.”

“As swiftly as the law commands-Five Thunder Shattering Firmament Righteous Method, emerge!”

When Chen Daji saw that Hua Jiunan had finally made a move, he got rather excited.

He even stopped shooting ghosts with the slingshot and quietly watched Hua Jiunan perform.

“Big Brother, when Old Daoist Zhou casts spells, he chants enough curses to fill a whole pants pocket. How come you only said a few words?”

“Does this thing come in a deluxe edition or what?”

Hua Jiunan, however, was in no mood to bullshit with Chen Daji.

Once he finished the hand seal, he discovered that he could not move.

Not only could he not move, he could not even speak.

It was as if an impossibly heavy weight were pressing down on him.

Hua Jiunan had to concentrate all his strength just to barely hold himself up.

In only the blink of an eye, his veins bulged, his entire body trembled, and bean-sized beads of sweat rolled down his face.

Chen Daji watched curiously and asked,

“Big Brother, what’s wrong with you? Are you holding in a dump or something?”

“Holy crap, you gotta hold it in!”

“At a crucial moment like this, where are we supposed to find a latrine…”

The moment this idiot finished speaking, Hu Fei’er, who had been lying on Hua Jiunan’s shoulder, was squeezed off by an invisible force.

She then stared at Hua Jiunan, her face full of astonishment.

Hu Fei’er was just about to say something when Chen Daji cut in first.

“Little sis, why’d you jump down?”

“Holy crap, don’t tell me my Big Brother crapped his pants and smoked you out!”

Hu Fei’er transformed back into her pretty young maiden form and said with a solemn expression,

“Something is wrong with Brother Jiunan, but I don’t know what’s causing it!”

Chen Daji stared at the trembling Hua Jiunan and looked him up and down.

Then, with surprising thoughtfulness, he leaned in by Hua Jiunan’s ear and whispered,

“Big Brother, if you crapped your pants and you’re too embarrassed to say it, just blink at me.”

“I’ll think of a way to send little sis Fei’er away. We’ll go home, change your pants, then come back.”

Seeing that Hua Jiunan merely continued to tremble without the slightest response, Chen Daji was suddenly startled.

Then he shouted, “Big Brother couldn’t have been possessed by a ghost, could he?!”
