To be precise, the vengeful ghost dressed in ancient official robes was not fighting alone; a trembling female ghost followed behind him.
The female ghost resembles a concubine. Although she is terrified of the "official," she is extremely fierce when facing the puppet and his subordinates.
She looked like a vicious shrew.
After half an incense stick's time, apart from the two puppets and the ghost of the military officer, all the other evil spirits were actually killed by the ghost of the Qing Dynasty official.
Upon seeing this, the two puppets immediately fled under the protection of the officer.
As luck would have it, they were heading straight for Zhao Youliang.
And unsurprisingly, they'll collide in a little while.
Zhao Youliang was shocked. He looked at the old bicycle he was riding and was filled with dejection.
"Egg Boy, even if I pedal my bike so hard it sparks, I still can't outrun that dirty thing over there, right?"
"Hmm," Chang Jie replied listlessly, then continued puffing on his cheap cigarette.
Unwilling to give up, Zhao Youliang continued to press, "Your invisibility spell will fail once you move, won't it?"
"Yes," Chang Jie replied firmly and decisively.
Zhao Youliang never expected that his peaceful act of watching the drama unfold would turn into the risk of having to host a feast for the entire village.
But since we can't avoid it, let's fight those two puppets!
What if... what if my elder brother, who has a concubine, is in a good mood and spares me after killing the two dolls?
With this thought in mind, Zhao Youliang no longer hesitated, and with a roar, he threw out a talisman he had drawn himself.
"Laozi taught me to slay demons and gave me divine methods. I summoned the Jade Maiden to subdue all evil... First I killed the evil demons, then I beheaded the night-shining ones. What god did not submit, what demon dared to stand against me?"
"Hurry, hurry, as the law commands!"
As soon as the Demon-Slaying Curse was uttered, it transformed into a streak of blue light and slashed towards the male puppet's neck.
Unfortunately, the male doll reacted very quickly and managed to dodge at the last second.
As the demon-slaying curse and the doll "brushed past each other," it just happened to hit the shrewish "concubine" who was chasing after them.
After several enhancements, Zhao Youliang's cultivation level was now far beyond what it used to be, and the power of his Ghost-Slaying Curse was naturally quite great.
The concubine screamed and flew out, thick black smoke billowing from her body.
This unexpected scene stunned everyone, especially the giant ghost dressed in ancient official robes.
With a thick beard and a deathly pale face, he slowly looked toward Zhao Youliang.
At this moment, Zhao Youliang was utterly devastated and hurriedly spread his hands and backed away.
"B-Big brother, if I say I didn't do it on purpose, will you believe me?"
"I originally wanted to help you..."
However, if explanations were effective, what would be the point of having police?!
Furthermore, the official-robed demon clearly did not trust Zhao Youliang, and even abandoned the pursuit of the two puppets, charging straight towards him.
"Wow!"
Zhao Youliang knew he was no match for his opponent, so he quickly turned his old bicycle around and pedaled hard.
He continued to explain as he pedaled, "Brother, I really didn't mean to hit your wife just now, it's all a misunderstanding!"
The giant demon ignored Zhao Youliang and roared as it chased after him.
As he felt the other person getting closer, Zhao Youliang was on the verge of tears.
Desperate and grasping at straws, he said to Chang Jie.
"Egg Boy, think of something quick! If that guy behind us catches up, we... I'm doomed!"
To Zhao Youliang's surprise, Chang Jie nodded weakly.
"Don't be afraid, quantum, I'll slow it down."
After saying that, he turned around on the spot above Zhao Youliang's head, staring with his uneven and cross-eyed eyes and muttering to himself.
"You can't catch me, you can't catch me..."
Zhao Youliang: "......"
"Stop messing around, Egg Boy, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Youliang was pleasantly surprised to find that the yin energy behind him had indeed slowed down.
"What?! This actually works?!"
Zhao Youliang continued pedaling the bicycle vigorously while looking back.
The official-robed demon and his concubine struggled to move forward, much like ordinary people running through thick mud, and the distance between them grew ever greater.
"It really works... Ouch, that hurts!"
Just as Zhao Youliang was celebrating, his joy turned to sorrow.
Because he looked back, the old bicycle crashed into a tree with a loud bang at a speed of nearly 40 kilometers per hour.
Zhao Youliang let out a yell and had a close encounter with a tree, his crotch slamming heavily against the handlebars.
Chang Jie, who was above him, also crashed into a tree with a thud, bounced back, and rolled quite a distance.
"Oh my god, my balls!"
Zhao Youliang cried out in pain, not knowing whether he was calling for his own "thousand-pound weight" or Chang Jie.
Zhao's outrageous actions once again stunned the official ghost, who then grinned and raised his hand to release a cloud of black smoke.
A hideous ghost face emerged from the black smoke.
Zhao Youliang recognized that grotesque face; wasn't it Qi Zhigang's grandfather? The same unscrupulous old man who borrowed his grandson's birthday money.
The old man seemed to recognize Zhao Youliang as well; now that they were enemies, their eyes were filled with hatred.
With a sinister grin, it lunged at him, looking as if it wanted to swallow Zhao Youliang whole.
Zhao, of course, would not sit idly by and wait for his death. He covered his crotch with one hand and took out a human bone rosary with the other, throwing it into the black smoke.
At the same time, he recited the six-syllable mantra: "Om Mani Padme Hum!"
As mentioned earlier, the rosary Zhao Youliang spoke of was made by stringing together the brow bones of eighteen accomplished Tantric lamas, the last of whom was the Great Guru.
Therefore, the bad old man simply couldn't handle it.
Amidst screams, the wicked old man vanished into thin air.
