Chapter 109
Chen Daji’s words made Eighth Master Chang rather unhappy.
“Kid, now that’s going too far. I challenge you to a duel!”
Chen Daji froze.
Clearly, he had no idea how he had suddenly offended this Old Immortal.
Seeing his clueless, blockheaded look, Eighth Master Chang could only explain.
“I may be a little weak, but I’m not so useless that I wouldn’t notice a ghost crawling onto my back!”
“Is that so?” Chen Daji looked him up and down, his eyes full of doubt.
Before Eighth Master Chang could completely blow up, the brat finally withdrew his gaze.
But his tone was still extremely reluctant.
“You’re the Old Immortal. Whatever you say goes…”
Just as the two of them were talking nonsense, Eighth Master Chang suddenly felt as if a ten-thousand-jin burden had been pressed down onto his back.
It felt exactly like the time the Snow Corpse had stepped on him.
Eighth Master Chang opened his huge mouth and violently spat out a mouthful of blood.
Then, with a boom, he was crushed hard into the ground.
“Somebody ambushed me!”
The moment Eighth Master Chang suddenly flattened himself against the ground, Chen Daji on his back was flung straight into the air.
In the next instant, he was about to fall right into the mass of Yellow Turban Ghosts.
“Holy crap! Grandmother, save me!”
From the Ghost Sedan flying in the distance, a withered, deathly pale ghost hand reached out.
It caught Chen Daji in midair and placed him steadily on top of the sedan.
The female ghost carrying the sedan did not forget to speak shyly.
“This servant greets Young Master Chen.”
Hemp-clad Grandmother let out a cackling laugh.
“What’s wrong, you little brat?”
“Had enough of riding that long worm and want to try sitting in a sedan instead?”
At that moment, Chen Daji was completely bewildered, because he had no idea what had just happened.
He could only mumble vaguely,
“Grandmother, I suspect Eighth Master Chang let out a massive fart with too much force, and the rebound blasted me up here!”
A Human-skin Lantern suddenly swung around and smacked Chen Daji hard on the head.
As the brat clutched his head and screamed, Hemp-clad Grandmother laughed even more happily.
“You little brat, can’t you learn something decent from your Brother Jiunan?”
“All day long, it’s nothing but poop, pee, and farts with you!”
Eighth Master Chang’s miserable state was not because anyone had ambushed him. It was because Hua Jiunan, who was on his back, had pressed him down.
Hua Jiunan only felt the pressure growing heavier and heavier, as if the sky itself had collapsed and landed on his head.
He was certain that if this continued for even less than a minute, he would be crushed into a meat patty.
And worse, he would very likely drag Eighth Master Chang beneath him down as well…
At that life-or-death moment, the Ancient Jade he always wore close to his body suddenly flashed.
Hua Jiunan instantly felt most of the pressure vanish, and even his mind became clear.
By now, he already understood that what had just happened was the backlash from the Five Thunder Shattering Firmament Righteous Method.
But at this point, the arrow was already on the string. He had no choice but to let it fly!
Bracing himself, Hua Jiunan began chanting the words of the hand seal again:
“Heaven is round, earth is square. The ordinances have nine chapters. I hold the command sword; ten thousand ghosts shall submit and hide.”
“By urgent command, as the law decrees-Five Thunder Shattering Firmament Righteous Method…”
Yet no matter what he did, he could not force out the final word, “Release.”
In the end, Hua Jiunan’s cultivation was simply insufficient. He could not draw forth a Daoist art of such immense power.
Even so, waves of pressure powerful enough to make all eyes turn still radiated outward from Hua Jiunan as the center.
Everyone on the battlefield was a spiritual being, and in an instant, they all sensed danger together.
Involuntarily, they stopped fighting and all looked toward Hua Jiunan.
General Li Guang and the spirit medium side were overjoyed.
They had never expected their own camp to be hiding such an “expert.”
The Yellow Turban Ghost side, on the other hand, began retreating uncontrollably, instinctively keeping their distance from Hua Jiunan.
Even Zhang Liang, who had remained motionless atop the Human Bone Altar all this time, slowly turned his head.
Amid a series of creaking sounds, a pair of dried-up eyes looked over coldly.
Under the gaze of this fierce deity, Hua Jiunan immediately felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
He could not help shivering.
That made him even more anxious, and he kept swinging the peachwood sword.
“Release… release… release…”
Every time Hua Jiunan shouted “release,” the Yellow Turban Ghost side collectively trembled and hopped one step back.
After he shouted it three times in a row, not a single one of the Ghost Soldiers remained within a hundred meters of him.
Chen Daji was puzzled and asked,
“Grandmother, what’s my Big Brother doing?”
“Is he scaring these bastards on purpose for fun?”
Although Hemp-clad Grandmother herself had cultivated in the tomb for a thousand years, it had all been by instinct. She had never had any contact with Daoist scriptures.
Because of that, she also could not see Hua Jiunan’s predicament.
“Jie jie jie. My precious grandson usually looks so mature, but in the end, he’s still a child.”
“Has he gotten addicted to playing around?”
What she did not know was that Hua Jiunan was so anxious he was about to cry.
“Five Thunder Shattering Firmament Righteous Method, damn it, just come out already…”
