The sleazy old Taoist priest had a very low profile.
He didn't use the same secret technique to conceal himself as the woman before; he simply hid stealthily against the wall, and neither of the two combatants noticed him.
Enraged by the old Taoist's ambush, the bird-man unleashed a burst of blazing golden light from its wings, melting the rope behind it.
But as soon as he looked down, he was startled and his scalp tingled instantly.
In the instant he fell, he was less than twenty meters away from Yang Cheng!
Before he could even flap his wings, Yang Cheng leaped into the air, only a step away from him!
The birdman's body radiated intense golden light, and countless golden wings shot towards Yang Cheng.
He no longer thinks about revenge, or even calling for backup; he just wants to escape as quickly as possible so that everyone else can leave!
This guy is definitely not an ordinary lone reincarnator; he might be an elite trained by some powerful force!
Although the power unleashed by those dense wings did not cause Yang Cheng much damage, it did interrupt his upward momentum, and his body began to fall.
Just as the birdman breathed a sigh of relief, black demonic energy surged behind him, and Chang Cuiyun's demonic immortal body condensed, directly strangling him tightly and killing him instantly!
The range of the Five Wrathful Soldiers' Souls is related to the coverage of Yang Cheng's mental power, which is about twenty meters.
The birdman hadn't expected Yang Cheng to have such a trick up his sleeve, and in his frantic struggle, his body plummeted downwards.
Before he could land, Yang Cheng pounced again, shattering the golden light protecting his body, and tearing his wings off with both hands!
With a swift turn of his head, he slashed down, and the head and body fell from mid-air.
Cui Laodao's side killed one person by trickery, and Yang Cheng's side killed four more people in succession. The surrounding people, who originally had the majority, suddenly became the minority.
The roles of hunter and prey can be reversed in an instant.
Yang Cheng ignored the fighting; he was just one kill away from reaching his kill count, so he wasn't in a hurry to join in.
Just as he was about to leave, the sleazy old Taoist priest approached him, smiling and cupping his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you for your help, young man."
"If it weren't for you, I, this old Taoist priest, would have been in real trouble."
As Yang Cheng walked forward, he said casually, "You should have been able to fight your way out even without me."
"You old Taoist priest, you like to play dumb to fool others. Those talismans you used just now probably weren't even your full power, were they?"
The old Taoist priest smiled wryly and said, "Hey, young man, you're wrong about that. What do you mean by 'pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger'? Only those who are inherently dragons or tigers can pretend to be pigs to eat tigers."
"I, an old Taoist priest, am nothing but a lamb to the slaughter. What am I to pretend to be?"
Seeing that Yang Cheng ignored his feigned madness, the old Taoist said, "Young man, judging from your appearance, you should also be a lone reincarnator. How about we team up and work together here?"
Although I am a weak old Taoist priest, I still have some special skills.
I'm skilled in talismanic magic, while you, brother, are unparalleled in close combat. When the two of us join forces, our power will be multiplied!
This time, there are a total of 500 people taking the World Patrol assessment. Half of them are people they met in the main world, and the others are reincarnators under the command of powerful forces.
In the end, some of the weak were eliminated, some of the lone wolves were also eliminated, and the majority of those remaining were the reincarnators from powerful forces who joined forces.
One person can't clap their hands together; if the two of us join forces, we'll be safer than we are now, right?
Yang Cheng was indeed somewhat tempted by what the old Taoist priest said.
He is indeed strong, even strong enough to wipe out a small team.
However, the further into the game it goes, the more reincarnated individuals from those major powers there will be.
At that point, it might not be just one small team anymore, but several teams operating together.
Even if Yang Cheng doesn't provoke them, he will probably still be targeted by them.
Moreover, Yang Cheng wanted to accumulate some ghost money to exchange for things in the ghost market. With the old Taoist priest's help, it would be much easier than if he did it alone.
After a moment of contemplation, Yang Cheng asked, "Then how can I be sure you won't stab me in the back?"
Old Master Cui took out a piece of paper and said, "It's very simple. I have a contract item here. After both parties sign it, they cannot cause any harm to each other in this world."
"All it takes is 100 Reincarnation Points; I'll take it directly."
This is the same as the dragon skin scroll that the Night Wanderer obtained back then, but the conditions are more lenient.
The dragon skin scroll was one-sided, while this contract was bilateral.
After verification, Yang Cheng and Cui Laodao both signed the contract, and the reincarnation system immediately issued a notification.
Suddenly, the two of them stopped, and they both felt their power being suppressed. The sky around them had already brightened.
Old Master Cui looked around, then pulled Yang Cheng aside and said, "We've been fighting all night, let me treat you to breakfast first before we talk. It's on me!"
Old Cui thumped his chest loudly, clearly having made a good amount of money through swindling and cheating during the day.
Compared to him, Yang Cheng, as a doctor, could barely make ends meet.
The two of them went to a breakfast stall and ordered a bunch of steamed buns, soy milk, fried dough sticks, and other things, and started eating.
Yang Cheng had lived in both the north and south. He found that breakfast in Liaodong was too rough and lacked flavor, while the morning tea in Guangdong was delicate but the portions were too small.
What Yang Cheng liked most was Wuhan's breakfast: hot dry noodles, fried dough sticks and shumai, and three-delicacy bean curd sheets. They were heavy on flavor and high in carbohydrates, but they were very appetizing, and one meal could keep you full all day.
While eating, Cui Laodao said, "My surname is Cui, and my name is Cui Daoning, but everyone calls me Cui Laodao. You can just call me that too, young man."
