Chapter 159 The Taoist Hits the Mountain, Stubbornly Using Such Spells! Come out, I've found you.
```
"You little runt, look into my eyes!"
"Why must you force my hand!"
"Just how many horses do you have to waste like this!"
"!@#¥%"
The tall Taoist dressed in pale gold suddenly cursed. In the midst of their conversation, the beautiful woman and the boy's biological mother had already lost any hope of protection. Yi Chen's power from his past life, when his parents were alive for ten years, was undoubtedly revealed.
The beautiful woman and the boy had not anticipated such a change from Yi Chen, this... could he be a true Daoist? Looks like he is from the Daoist path, right.
Although Yi Chen was cursing, the aura he exuded could not be faked. Under the protection of the True Yang Spirit, the dragon and tiger totem tattoos on Yi Chen's body became more vivid, menacingly ferocious as if they would burst forth and devour someone the next second.
If the revelation of the dragon and tiger totems initially only shocked them, their emotions had now escalated to panic.
"This job is a real pain. If we had known, we would never have taken on this task." The beautiful woman and the boy exchanged glances, unable to suppress a wave of regret in their hearts.
As the newly recruited True Persons from one of the capital's nine prestigious families, the Yan Family, they had taken on the task to assassinate Yi Chen in order to demonstrate their loyalty. They had intended to impress their employers, not realizing that this was no mere belly-showing affair.
If they did not handle this matter well, they both might end up losing their lives here.
While the beautiful woman and the boy were increasing their mana output to stabilize the grey light shield, they raised their heads and called out to Yi Chen with a bold face, "Yi Taoist, let's talk this through. We are both orphans who accidentally stepped onto the Daoist path. We admit defeat; you can talk about any compensation you want."
"Isn't it still negotiable if I cripple you both?"
"If I kill you all, all your belongings will be mine."
The beautiful woman and the boy wanted to buy their lives, but Yi Chen's thoughts were very clear at this moment.
Buying off one's life? No way.
Having offended Yi Chengzi and witnessed his True Yang Spirit, how could he possibly let them leave.
A towering rage surged within his chest!
Just because he had no background, did it mean every Tom, Dick, and Harry should step on him?
"I've already been avoiding you all. I'm already like this, and you!"
"You still won't let me go, you still want to push me!"
With a roar, Yi Chen suddenly charged at the grey light shield supported by the two, bringing the force of the pale gold colossus down upon the shield with the weight of heavens, causing the grey light shield propped up by the beautiful woman and the boy to cave in.
"Yi Chengzi, your bullying has gone too far!"
"Darling, let's fight him with all we've got."
With a shrill cry, the boy flipped his small hand and a three-meter-tall black banner appeared in his grasp.
Emblazoned with the characters for "Senluo" in ancient script, it shimmered with a ghostly light.
The banner fluttered wildly without wind as the boy pinched a magic formula, and in an instant, a four-meter-tall green-faced, fang-toothed Niu-tou ghost appeared within the grey shield.
With its eyes closed, the moment the ghost materialized, the temperature in the air dropped to freezing point, the surrounding vegetation wilted instantly as if their life force had been stripped away by some inexplicable power.
The beautiful woman and the boy exchanged glances before transforming into two rays of light, one to the left and one to the right, vanishing into the body of the immense ghost.
Suddenly, the ghost opened its eyes, and its blood-red gaze swept over everything before finally fixing on Yi Chen, sending a terrifying demonic aura skyrocketing through heaven and earth.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Yi Chengzi, there's still time to stop. The green ghost inside this Senluo Banner has had its spirit wiped by my husband and me. After years of sacrifice, its might is boundless." (the beautiful woman)
"To consecrate this banner, I have been hunted down by the Buddhist disciples of Mount Daguangming, driven to roam the heavens and burrow into the earth, and had no choice but to seek refuge under the gate of the great Yan Family." (the boy)
"Fellow Daoist, our cultivation has not come easy, why must we fight to the death?" (the beautiful woman)
"Even if Fellow Daoist can kill us today, it is not certain you won't damage your own Dao foundation. Better to stop and go our separate ways. Since you are unharmed, my husband and I are willing to give up half of our life's savings as compensation—what do you say?" (the boy)
After dropping the grey protective shield and clashing fiercely with Yi Chen, the immense ghost staggered back three steps and suddenly began to speak persuasively.
The voice alternated between male and female, clearly changing between the beautiful woman and the boy's voice, their words logical and sincere, moving to anyone who would listen.
With each opening and closing of the vast mouth, drool dropped to the ground, corroding the earth into a large hole.
But Yi Chen was no ordinary man.
The beautiful woman and the boy were still unware of the severity of the situation.
As the anomaly abruptly arose, for the first time, a hint of greed appeared in Yi Chen's pale golden eyes.
"Turns out it's no use wearing out iron shoes in a fruitless search, only to find... "
"Pah!"
"The heart of Taoist is oh so bright."
"The acts of Taoist are oh so straightforward."
"Good and evil are opposed, lifelong struggle, how can I associate with your kind, the wicked and heretical. Prepare to meet your fate!"
Before the word 'come' even faded, Yi Chen charged like a humanoid Gundam, breaking the sound barrier, and slammed into the immense ghost with a madman's fury, immediately unleashing thousands of punch shadows. To an uninformed observer, it might seem as if Yi Chen bore a deep-seated grudge against it.
Of course, before charging, Yi Chen silently applied two Origin Points to his strength.
A warm current suddenly emerged, filling his four limbs and bones, coursing through his entire body.
"Taoist, your mother mustered a virtue!" (the beautiful woman)
"Taoist, indeed that's your nature." (the boy)
Seeing the frenzied Yi Chen, both the beautiful woman and the boy couldn't help but blurt out in anger. At the same time, they racked their brains to recall if there was any trace left behind from any of their previous victims.
