No matter how hard Zhao Youliang racked his brains, he never imagined that he would be seen as a "peerless master" by the sorcerer.
Furthermore, this image of an unparalleled master was further solidified when the sorcerer saw the "golden lighter," to the point that it could be said to be unbreakable!
The ability to create and use ritual implements so smoothly and in such a way that it is so close to everyday life—isn't this the legendary return to simplicity?
Add to that Zhao Youliang's mercenary nature... no, it should be described as his unpretentious and simple demeanor, and the combination of the two equals perfection!
That is why the Nanyang sorcerers were unwilling to clash with Zhao Youliang and were willing to show the utmost sincerity in negotiations.
Although Zhao Youliang hadn't anticipated these events, they didn't affect his subsequent performance.
This is the benefit of having high emotional intelligence after years of hard work and experience.
He first stared at the old woman for a long time, pretending to be troubled, and then deliberately glanced at the huge mahogany box out of the corner of his eye.
He then fell silent, seemingly torn between two options.
Seeing this, the old woman immediately saw hope for a peaceful resolution and quickly escalated her demands.
“Great mage, if you would grant my request, I would like to do one more thing for you!”
At this point, the "person in charge" of the snake gu among the thirteen gu-slaying sects suddenly stood up, looking at the somewhat bewildered fat lama with a cold smile.
"I sense that this person is quite hostile towards you, Master. We, the Thirteen Sects of Gu Suppression, are willing to help you eliminate him as soon as possible!"
"What?!" Upon hearing this, the Grand Lama immediately became alert, slowly backing away while clutching his injured arm, and at the same time taking out a white bone dagger and becoming vigilant.
Eager to express their sincerity, the sorcerers would not easily let go of this free "pledge of allegiance," and immediately surrounded them with their magical implements.
He was just waiting for Zhao Youliang to nod in agreement before turning the fat lama into nourishment for his Gu worms.
Seeing the sorcerer closing in step by step, the Grand Lama laughed in anger.
"Hehehe, you third-rate sorcerers, do you really think I'm a pushover?"
"Come on, let's fight to the death!"
His eyes and nose flashed with a fierce light, clearly indicating that he was brewing some ruthless move.
Looking at the scene before him, Zhao Youliang was in a dilemma.
He and the senior monk had no deep-seated hatred for each other; to be precise, it was their first meeting.
Although the other party was arrogant, their crime did not warrant death.
Moreover, the Grand Lama was clearly invited by Guo Zhengde to deal with those three ghosts. If he were killed, wouldn't that be indirectly harming the townspeople?
Besides, after the skinheads killed the Grand Lama, wouldn't they want the Seven Tragedy Stones from themselves?
What will we give them then?
Once they realize they've been tricked, they'll definitely fight back to the death!
Just as Zhao Youliang's brain was spinning wildly, almost to the point of exhaustion, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his savior had arrived!
But then they saw Sister Yingchun leading a big yellow dog across the street.
It turned out that this pretty and clever young widow, after realizing that Zhao Youliang was in trouble, used the excuse of grilling meat for them to return to the paper shop and bring back the town's number one fighter.
The "Man Relying on His Dog's Power" series is about to unfold once again!
As expected of the town's number one bully, the big yellow dog immediately "took over the game" after it fell down.
Taking advantage of the fact that the fat lama had his back to him, he yelled and pounced on him, knocking him to the ground.
Immediately following was a flurry of punches, both forward and backward, which caused the lama to scream in agony.
Every time the Grand Lama grabbed the bone dagger to retaliate, the big yellow dog would bite his wrist, causing him to cry out in pain.
That's not the key point. The most crucial thing is the big yellow dog's two little lackeys, those two paper figures—the "troublemakers" that Zhao Youliang mentioned.
Amidst bursts of chilling laughter, they, who were originally only the size of a palm, rapidly grew larger, like human-shaped balloons being inflated at an alarming rate.
In the blink of an eye, it reverted to its original form, like the terrifying paper figures found in paper craft shops.
Then, with bloodshot eyes, it pounced on the lama with mechanical steps, devouring him like a zombie.
Blood and flesh flew everywhere from the gnawed flesh.
Seeing this terrifying scene, the sorcerer frowned and instinctively retreated slowly, trying to get away from the big yellow dog and the two paper figures.
They were clearly frightened by the ferocity of the big yellow dog and the resentment emanating from the paper figure.
The old woman, who resembled a snake demon, couldn't help but ask Zhao Youliang, "Master, who are they...?"
"Cough cough," Zhao Youliang was equally confused about the situation, mainly because of the two strange paper figures, but he still decided to take advantage of the situation to the end.
"Don't be afraid, just sit down and watch."
"These are my dog and paper figures I made when I had nothing else to do."
“The lama is bullying people because of his big size. Let’s teach him a lesson so he won’t be so arrogant when he goes out in the future.”
Zhao Youliang's half-serious, half-joking display of bravado further solidified his image as a master in the eyes of the sorcerer's sect.
If someone's dog and paper doll are so amazing, how could they be anything less?
At the same time, he was secretly relieved: luckily, he didn't have a conflict with this great mage and chose to speak politely.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll end up like the first two groups of colleagues, crushed like bedbugs...
Just as the sorcerers were scaring themselves, the head lama, driven to desperation by the beating, suddenly unleashed his full power.
His massive, fleshy body actually managed to perform a "carp leap".
After shaking off the big yellow dog and the two paper figures, he ran into the town without looking back.
He was clearly just as terrified as the sorcerers, completely intimidated by Zhao Youliang.
He didn't even dare to utter a harsh word, fearing that Zhao Youliang would send the vicious dogs to catch up and continue beating him.
Seeing that the fat monk had run away, the big yellow dog turned its fierce eyes on the sorcerers.
That look was like a hungry wolf eyeing a flock of sheep, ready to pick out the fattest one to prey on.
Upon seeing this, the snake-like old woman retreated while bowing to Zhao Youliang.
"We urge the Master to seriously consider our request to use the Gu poison to subdue the Thirteen Sects."
"If there are no other instructions, we will take our leave."
Zhao Youliang was eager for the other party to leave, so he wouldn't try to stop them.
Upon hearing this, he immediately nodded calmly, mimicking the demeanor of the experts on television.
Seeing this, the sorcerer felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He abandoned the large box on the ground and fled in a panic.
Seeing this, Zhao Youliang quickly stopped pretending and bowed and scraped to the big yellow dog with a fawning expression.
"Brother Gou, you've worked hard! Thank you so much, Brother Gou!"
"Brother Dog, you were amazing just now! You beat up that fat guy, and he didn't even dare to fart!"
Faced with Zhao Youliang's almost fawning flattery, the big yellow dog merely glanced at him indifferently.
Clearly, they disregarded it.
The next second, the big yellow dog, just like Zhao Youliang, bowed and scraped to Sister Yingchun with a fawning expression, clearly trying to curry favor and gain credit.
Not only the big yellow dog, but also the two paper figures that had shrunk back to the size of a palm.
He bowed repeatedly to Sister Yingchun while babbling incoherently, "Greetings, Sister Yingchun! Greetings, Sister Yingchun!"
The reason I say it's a chaotic shouting is because the two of them were shouting completely separately, without any coordination whatsoever.
