Chongxu Daoist approached Ginger Cake.

Yellow prayer flags emitted billowing black smoke.

Several human faces screamed in agony in the thick, inky fog.

Liu Zheng flew into a rage, his voice rising as he shouted, "Corpse refining technique? You used your own natal spiritual weapon to refine a corpse?"

Chongxu remained silent.

"Hmph!" Xiong Lie glanced arrogantly at Liu Zheng, "It's you people from the big sects who are extremely pedantic."

Liu Zheng was furious but helpless.

On the other side of the main hall.

Gingerbread had a speed-boosting charm stuck to its calf.

He ran wildly around the main hall.

The old Taoist priest Chongxu, holding a banner that emitted black mist, chased after him, cursing and swearing.

She had overheard her senior sister's conversation with Xiong Lie, and turned around to laugh mockingly, "You stinky Taoist, you and Lord Xiong are a match made in heaven, birds of a feather."

"You little brat, if I catch you, you'll be sorry!"

Chongxu Daoist's eyes were bloodshot, and his forehead was covered in sweat; he was so angry that his face flushed red.

The surface of the gingerbread has cooled.

My heart was already pounding with anxiety.

[Master, why aren't you here yet? If you don't come soon, she and her fellow disciples are really going to be finished.]

The main hall, half of which was destroyed by the bomb.

One ran.

One of them was chasing after them, holding a banner.

Xiong Lie thought Chongxu was as stupid and dull as a pig no matter how he looked at him.

He was too lazy to watch the monkeys' performance any longer, and said with a gloomy expression, "Chongxu, I will lend you a hand."

The words had barely left his lips.

Two white threads shot out from Xiong Lie's short, stubby fingers, which twisted and turned, wrapping around Jiang Bingbing's ankle at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

"Oh my god—"

Gingerbread fell flat on its face.

Chongxu caught up, panting, and wiped his sweat hard. It was all because of this little brat that he had embarrassed himself.

He wished he could refine gingerbread into the Taoist banner as well.

"Go ahead and run." Chongxu lifted his foot and stepped on Gingerbread's shin. "Aren't you supposed to be a fast runner?"

"......"

His grandfather's.

That kick really hurt.

Gingerbread's temples throbbed with pain, but she tried her best to endure it, stammering, "If...if you're so capable, let me go..."

"If you can catch up with me, I'll take your surname..."

"Pah! You idiot, you've fooled me completely. Do you think I'd believe you?"

Chongxu exerted force with his right foot, grinding forward and backward.

Gingerbread is in so much pain.

Everyone inside the hall was watching this side.

No one noticed.

A dark green egg rolled silently out of gingerbread's cloth bag.

Xiong Lie's eyes gradually turned violent. "Chongxu, don't fall for this girl's trick. She's stalling for time to wait for the Sword Sect to arrive. We need to finish this quickly."

"!" Chongxu gritted his teeth in hatred, pouring his spiritual power into the Dao Banner. "After you die, I will refine your corpse and see if your teeth are still hard enough."

Several ghostly faces opened their blood-red mouths.

It flew towards the gingerbread.

The gingerbread was tightly bound by spider silk.

Can't move at all.

There is no other way now.

She could only grit her teeth, close her eyes, and shout, "Help! Help! Help!!!"

"Help me! Help me! Help me!"

Perhaps it was because her shouting was so sincere.

Just as the ghost face was about to devour her whole, a golden sword aura shot out from between Gingerbread's eyebrows.

The sword energy, carrying a chilling intent, pierced through the ghost face.

"ah--"

Accompanied by wails, the ghost face disintegrated.

Chongxu's Taoist banner exploded with a "bang".

Shredded cloth was scattered all over the ground.

Chongxu clenched his fists tightly, staring intently at his natal artifact, now reduced to rubble. "How could this be? How could this be? I've been refining my corpse soul for forty-nine years!"

Burn the seniors to ashes?

Gingerbread shouted in his mind.

But no one answered.

That golden sword energy was Burning Destruction's move, so why didn't he reply?

Gingerbread was confused and couldn't care less about anything else right now.

Unlike her senior sisters and brothers who were bound like silkworm cocoons, Xiong Lie only used spider silk to bind her hands and feet.

Gingerbread sticks out its buttocks and crawls forward like a cricket.

The cloth bag was thrown away while I was struggling.

She finally crawled over, stuffed her head into the cloth bag, and used her mouth to pull out a handful of talismans.

I'm very worried.

Gingerbread thought to itself.

If the talisman isn't thrown out with your mouth in a little while...

What if I blow up her cherry lips?

ah?

...

Chongxu is a complete waste.

Xiong Lie hated himself for having such a brain-dead partner.

Even a fool in the Foundation Establishment stage can't handle it.

He kicked Wen Yuzhao and walked up to Jiang Bingbing. "Little girl, you're pretty tough."

"hey-hey--"

Gingerbread chuckled coldly.

As a result, when he loosened his mouth, all the talismans fell out.

Gingerbread: "......"

Although they shouldn't be laughing in this atmosphere, Liu Zheng and Wen Yuzhao still couldn't control their twitching lips.

"Hahahahaha." Xiong Lie laughed, sticking out his greasy belly. "Chongxu, you can't even handle an idiot like this? You're such a waste."

Chongxu, still reeling from the shock of his magical artifact's destruction, said, "City Lord, it's not that I couldn't fix it, there was just—"

"Shut up!" Xiong Lie released a dense mass of spider silk that tightly bound Chongxu's head. "Worthless trash has no reason to live."

Not long after.

Chongxu collapsed to the ground, convulsing and suffocating to death.

Kill your own people?

Gingerbread is about to throw up.

The talisman is gone, why hasn't her master come yet?

What are you dawdling about!

Are you planning to cook a couple of dishes at home before coming out?
