Chapter 118
Seeing Eighth Master Chang looking so utterly lost, Chen Daji deliberately teased him. He strode forward, pretending he was about to snatch the pill away.
“If you don’t want it, then give it to me!”
“Perfect. I’ll take it back to school and let my Li Yun eat it.”
Eighth Master Chang had no idea who Li Yun was, but from the lecherous look on Chen Daji’s face, he could more or less guess.
With a curl of his tail, he swept Chen Daji onto his back.
“Get the hell out of here!”
“That’s not how you dote on your wife!”
“If an ordinary person ate this thing, they’d go boom and explode on the spot. They wouldn’t even get to become a ghost!”
Chen Daji let out a sly, strange chuckle.
“Eighth Master, my Big Brother gave you such a huge benefit. You’d better behave yourself from now on.”
Eighth Master Chang nodded repeatedly.
“Of course!”
“Brat, let me put it this way.”
“Once I eat this treasure and cultivate for a few more years, I’ll be able to run even faster.”
“When the time comes… when the time comes, if I’m carrying you and the young master physician while we run for our lives, even my Big Brother won’t be able to catch me…”
Chang Huaiyuan had left far too deep a psychological shadow on Eighth Master Chang.
So as he said this, he unconsciously turned his head to look toward the battlefield.
“Oh no, this is bad! My Big Brother is about to lose to the Big Zongzi!”
As soon as Eighth Master Chang finished speaking, he instinctively curled his tail around Hua Jiunan, set him on his back, and began slowly backing away.
Hua Jiunan was completely baffled.
“Eighth Master, what are you doing?”
Eighth Master Chang stared nervously in the direction of the battlefield.
“You don’t understand, young master physician.”
“When you’re losing a group fight and it’s time to run, you must never be the first one to move.”
“The nail that sticks out gets hammered down. Whoever runs first, the enemy will chase them on instinct.”
“We’ll retreat bit by bit. Once someone turns and runs, and the Big Zongzi goes after him, then I’ll take you and flee for our lives!”
Hua Jiunan and the others were left speechless.
Only Chen Daji was filled with admiration.
“Eighth Master, you’re something else. You even thought of that!”
As Eighth Master Chang kept his nervous gaze fixed on the battle, a proud expression appeared on his face.
“Daji, I’m not bragging, but I figured all this out after getting beaten half to death countless times.”
“Learn well. If you can pick up even half of my skills, it’ll be hard for anyone to beat you to death in the future!”
Chen Daji’s eyes shone as he nodded excitedly again and again.
Hua Jiunan really could not take these two clowns anymore. He coughed and spoke up to remind them.
“At a time like this, shouldn’t we be going over to help?”
Eighth Master Chang froze when he heard that, then his old face flushed red.
“I truly am sorry, young master physician. I’m just used to running…”
At this point, Eighth Master Chang paused briefly.
“There is something I have to say, young master physician.”
“My life is cheap, so it doesn’t matter whether I live or die. But your status is noble!”
“There’s really no need for you to risk your life against the zombie chief.”
“The way I see it, we should leave this sort of rough work to my Big Brother and Brother Hui. You can just command from a safe distance.”
Eighth Master Chang’s cowardly manner made Hu Qingshan and Old Sixth Hui burst into laughter.
But those words happened to be exactly what they wanted to hear.
So Old Sixth Hui immediately voiced his agreement.
“Old Eighth is right!”
“With us here, how could we trouble the young master physician to act?”
“Wait here a moment. We’ll be back before you know it, and we’ll kill this bastard to vent the young master physician’s anger!”
With that, he let out a roar and revealed his true form once more.
His body, which had originally been three meters long, was now nearly four.
Most eye-catching of all was the right claw that had regrown. Under the blood moon, it actually shimmered with flecks of golden light.
Seeing this, Hu Qingshan felt a quiet surge of envy, but at the same time, his heroic spirit rose.
“Young master physician, allow this Hu to make a fool of himself today!”
A flash of formation light swept past, and a massive azure six-tailed fox rode the air as it charged at Zhang Liang.
Hu Fei’er transformed back into a little white fox and leaped onto Hua Jiunan’s shoulder.
After a slight pause, she slowly inched a little closer toward his cheek.
Chen Daji was anxious and hurried Eighth Master Chang along.
“Eighth Master, take us a little closer!”
“Not too close. Just close enough for me to hit that Big Zongzi with my slingshot!”
Eighth Master Chang flew into a rage. “Shut your mouth, brat!”
“What are we going over there for?! Your worthless life doesn’t matter if you die, but don’t drag me down with you… don’t drag my young master physician down with you!”
Seeing that Eighth Master Chang refused to move, Hua Jiunan had no choice but to speak.
“Eighth Master, let’s go over and help.”
When the surrounding little animals saw Hua Jiunan’s group approach, they consciously opened a path for them.
They even raised their front paws one after another, bowing to Hua Jiunan in salute.
Even the Hundred-Battle Warrior Spirits looked at Hua Jiunan with eyes full of respect.
Soldiers revered the strong.
After all, Hua Jiunan’s Five Thunder Shattering Firmament Righteous Method had been astonishingly powerful, leaving a deep impression on these battle-hardened veterans.
By now, most of the Yellow Turban Ghost and Yellow Turban Strongmen on the battlefield had already been wiped out.
A small number of prisoners remained, crouching together with their heads hanging low under the little animals’ strict watch.
If any of them dared to move recklessly, a hedgehog would shoot out spines to stab him.
On the Human Bone Altar, the Five Great Immortal Families had all revealed their true forms, each using their own methods to besiege Zhang Liang.
Li Guang stood a short distance away, an arrow nocked to his bowstring but not yet released.
He was only waiting for Zhang Liang to show an opening so he could kill him with a single shot.
Hemp-clad Grandmother rode the Ghost Sedan through the air, the ghastly pale Human-skin Lantern hanging high above.
The Corpse-binding Rope flying from the sedan was like two venomous snakes, savagely snapping and tearing around Zhang Liang.
When Zhang Liang saw Hua Jiunan draw near, his withered face twisted into a savage expression.
“Fated One, you must die!”
After saying this, he actually ignored the others’ attacks, bit off a section of his own finger, and chewed it desperately.
Only when it had turned into a reeking lump of minced flesh did he spit it in Hua Jiunan’s direction.
Then he pointed with the Copper Coin Sword in his hand.
“Tianyou, Tianyou, fierce and mighty lord. Above, you aid the North Star; below, you overlook the Nine Provinces. Your body is clad in golden armor, your hand wields spear and halberd. Your eyes are like flashing lightning, your claws like golden hooks.”
“When you meet demons, cut them to pieces; when you encounter ghosts, seize and bind them. Obedient ghosts are spared, but evil ghost have their heads severed.”
“By decree of the Yellow Heaven, you shall not delay. As swiftly as the law commands!”
“Divine Spell of Tianyou Zhenjun, manifest!”
