Chapter 72 Beginning, Beginning
There was a loud bang of flames being lit, and the room was brightly lit by several huge oil lamps. Sanshan Zhenren limped out from the corner.
At this moment, he was breathing rapidly and his face was pale. It was obvious that he had suffered serious injuries, but his eyes were full of hatred and the pleasure of revenge.
"So you are still here." Xu Chuchu leaned in Xiao Yu's arms, her voice very soft.
"If you had been a step later, I wouldn't be here anymore." Sanshan Zhenren said sarcastically, "Luckily, I was a little slow, otherwise I would have missed the best opportunity for revenge."
He stared intently at Xiao Yu and Xu Chuchu in his arms: "I can't believe that a useless ordinary person, a female physiognomist who has just reached the third level, knows so much. She knows how to hide her cultivation and even knows how to kill the baby. She caused most of my cultivation to be lost over the years."
When Sanshan Zhenren fell this time, he thought he had met an even more powerful master, but he didn't expect to be defeated by two unknown people. His anger grew even stronger.
"We should consider ourselves lucky," Xiao Yu sneered. "This is a perfect opportunity to bring this vicious old charlatan like you to justice!"
"Mr. Xiao..." Sanshan Zhenren dragged out his words, "This physiognomist does not wish to be an enemy of the government, so I advise you not to interfere in our affairs. Let go of this woman and leave the Taoist temple. We can keep to ourselves."
Xiao Yu hugged Xu Chuchu tighter: "What if I insist on interfering?"
"Then don't blame me for being rude!" Sanshan Zhenren said angrily, "Zhenzhu, eat them!"
The big spider named "Pearl" received the order and immediately took action with a hissing sound. Its eight long legs moved flexibly at a speed so fast that it was almost impossible to see.
Xiao Yu was worried about leaving Xu Chuchu lying on the ground, so he pulled her into his arms with one hand, took out his weapon with the other hand, and stepped forward to fight!
With a "clang" sound, the fan handle blocked two steel-hard blows from the spider, turned around to avoid a silk thread, and then took advantage of the situation to kick the spider on the back.
Although the spider moved quickly, it had no rules. After a few attacks, it couldn't do anything to Xiao Yu for a while.
However, it had a hard shell for protection, and Xiao Yu couldn't find a way to seriously damage it.
Sanshan Zhenren originally wanted to watch the spider slowly devour the two minions, but the more he watched, the more he felt something was wrong.
The female fortune teller who had some skills was poisoned, but this ordinary person with no skills was very skilled. He was holding a person in his arms and was able to fight with his pearl on par with him.
When he saw his Bao'er being kicked repeatedly, he became even angrier. If this person really found an opportunity to do something to Zhenzhu, he would not be able to escape.
He took out a Taoist talisman from his sleeve, injected a trace of remaining spiritual power into it, and secretly lurked behind Xiao Yu. Seeing Xiao Yu leaning back to avoid a mouthful of venom, he took the opportunity to throw the Taoist talisman over.
"Wait for death!" He laughed wildly.
The talisman fell on Xiao Yu's shoulder, sticking tightly to him as if it had grown legs, and the runes on it flowed with golden light.
This is an advanced immobilization spell that can force the target to temporarily freeze the body and be unable to move.
The reason why it is advanced is that it is not only effective against ordinary monsters and ghosts, but also has the same effect on humans.
As long as the spider could freeze Xiao Yu for even a second, it could easily end his life!
But the expected immobilization did not appear. Xiao Yu still dodged the spider's attack and hurriedly pulled the talisman off his body.
"You..." Master Sanshan's eyes almost popped out.
This wasn't a sign of his lack of skill; there was nothing wrong with the talisman, and it had already flowed away after being applied, so how could it not work?!
He tried again when his first strike failed, but the result was the same.
The Taoist talisman stuck on Xiao Yu was just like an ordinary piece of yellow paper. Not only could it not freeze him, it couldn't even affect his movements at all.
Isn't he a human?!
Sanshan Zhenren became more and more panicked, and tried all kinds of Taoist talismans at random, such as soul-soothing talismans, ghost-suppressing talismans, and children's nocturnal enuresis talismans. He threw them all at the talisman.
Still no response!
Xiao Yu was instantly covered in it, and before he could even tear it off, he angrily said, "Are you done yet?"
While the spider was dodging, he attacked directly towards Sanshan Zhenren!
Sanshan Zhenren was already weak because his doll was burned, and he had just used up all his remaining strength by throwing Taoist talismans randomly, so he had no time to dodge.
When the spider saw that its master was in trouble, it immediately rushed over and stood in front of the two men.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yu immediately changed the direction of his attack, stabbing directly into the spider's abdomen from bottom to top.
As long as the spider is captured, Sanshan Zhenren will be like dough that can be kneaded by anyone!
The abdomen is the softest and most unprotected part of the spider's body. The sharp blade penetrated deeply and cut the internal organs. Within a few breaths, it shook its legs and became motionless.
"Pearl, Pearl!" When Sanshan Zhenren saw the spider die to protect him, he was extremely sad and angry, and he wanted to fight Xiao Yu to the death.
Xiao Yu laid the unconscious Xu Chuchu flat on his back and turned around and said, "You are guilty of murder and robbery, and practicing evil magic. Master Sanshan, please come back to the yamen with me and confess everything."
"Go back to the yamen? Be punished? That's wishful thinking... We fortune tellers have never been bound by the laws of ordinary people like you!" Sanshan Zhenren suddenly showed a ferocious smile, and muttered in words that Xiao Yu could not understand.
In a moment, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps coming from afar, which was particularly clear in the silent night.
Xiao Yu reacted immediately and rushed forward to close the door.
But the opponent's speed of action was faster than he had imagined. The footsteps were approaching. The puppet Taoist priests who were originally standing under the awning as punishment rushed in one after another. There was no expression on their faces. They held various weapons in their hands and rushed towards Xiao Yu!
There is actually someone who can drive such a large number of puppets for his own use just by chanting spells!
Xiao Yu now truly understood why Xu Chuchu had advised him not to hunt down the Three Mountains Immortal.
If a fortune teller really wants to fight against ordinary people, there are so many ways to do it.
Xiao Yu immediately went back to protect Xu Chuchu, jumped onto the high table, and hit down every person who rushed up.
This tactic could ensure that he would not be surrounded and attacked for the time being, but these puppets were not afraid of pain or wounds at all, and were more resistant to attacks than spiders. If this continued, the only outcome would be that they would be hacked to death.
Seeing Xiao Yu's awkward situation, Sanshan Zhenren became even more proud. He hid behind the puppet, chanting spells non-stop, and even deliberately slowed down the rhythm of the puppet's attack occasionally to give Xiao Yu a chance to breathe, and then attacked fiercely, catching him off guard.
It's like teasing a caged bird that's fighting back.
Xiao Yu is skilled in martial arts, but he really doesn't know how to fight against puppets.
"Chu Chu, Chu Chu." He whispered Xu Chu Chu's name while resisting, hoping that she would wake up and tell him how to deal with it.
She knows so much, she must know.
