Upon arriving at a secluded place, the man disguised as a Taoist priest finally revealed his true identity.
“You’re so naive,” the man said.
Xie Zhou turned his head and looked at the guy with disdain. "I knew you weren't a Taoist priest all along. The only reason I came with you was to see what tricks you could pull."
"I am indeed a Taoist priest, but no one says that Taoist priests can't lie, hahaha!" The Taoist priest started laughing wildly.
Xie Zhou couldn't stand it when others were more arrogant than her. The more the Taoist laughed, the more resentful she felt.
"Have you laughed enough?" Xie Zhou asked.
The Taoist priest replied, "What, you don't want to see a smiling face? Do you want to see my fierce face?"
"Whatever, I'm just here to see what you're really like." Xie Zhou casually touched the long sword at his waist, his tone somewhat threatening.
"My true nature..." The Taoist paused, then continued, "Let me be frank, I am a bad person. The reason I led you here is because you were too nosy. Do you really think I didn't see through your little scheme? No, to tell you the truth, when a hunter sets a trap, and the prey thinks it's clever and tries to jump into the trap to break it, what do you think will happen?"
"Unfortunately, you are not the hunter, and I am not the prey!" Xie Zhou said, and in a flash, before the Taoist could react, she was already behind him.
Snap!
With just one palm strike, the Taoist priest spat out a mouthful of blood.
That's it? Xie Zhou felt a wave of disdain. Why do I keep running into people who love to boast but whose actual strength is incredibly low? How am I supposed to improve like this? Heavens, please let me meet a strong person!
The Taoist wiped the saliva from his mouth and glared fiercely at Xie Zhou, "You attacked me from behind..."
"Hey, explain yourself clearly. Is this what you call a sneak attack? It's clearly your slow reaction, okay? Do you expect me to tell you I'm going to hit you before I make a move?" Upon hearing the Taoist's words, Xie Zhou's temper immediately flared up.
Cough cough!
The Taoist priest coughed twice, spitting out another mouthful of blood. "Fine, fine, you win. I never thought that a bad person like me would die from someone's sneak attack. I...I..."
Before he could finish speaking, the Taoist priest slowly collapsed.
No way? He's... dead?
Despite knowing that the Taoist priest might be bluffing, Xie Zhou couldn't resist her curiosity and slowly approached him. Just in case, she drew her sword and held it in front of her, so that if the Taoist priest made any unusual moves, she could use the sword to dodge to the side.
They were getting closer and closer. Just as Xie Zhou lowered his head and was about to stick out his finger to test the Taoist's breath, the Taoist suddenly opened his eyes.
"Haha, I've fully recovered!" The Taoist priest said with an extremely eerie expression.
Xie Zhou felt an indescribable nausea and thrust his sword forward.
"Crazy woman!" The Taoist priest had already been struck by Xie Zhou's palm and knew how powerful Xie Zhou was. Before the sword could be thrust down, he scrambled to his feet, dodged to the side, and climbed the nearest big tree.
"You can even feign death! It's a disgrace to the Taoist sect to have a disciple like you!" Xie Zhou brandished his sword, his face pointing directly at the Taoist in the tree.
The Taoist priest plucked a handful of leaves from the tree, chewed them, swallowed them, and then said, "I wasn't pretending to be dead just now; I really was dead, but I'm healed now. Also, what are you talking about with this Taoist sect? You're not a member of the Taoist sect, so how do you know how vast it is? Let me tell you the truth: I'm a black Taoist priest. How about that? Scared now?"
Black Taoist!
Upon hearing this term, Xie Zhou frowned slightly. Back in the sect, she had overheard the elders mentioning this type of person. They would stop at nothing to achieve their goals, but they truly belonged to the Daoist sect.
There's a saying in the martial arts world: the soft fear the hard, the hard fear the stubborn, the stubborn fear the reckless, and the reckless fear the shameless. Without a doubt, this guy is the legendary shameless one.
In terms of strength, Xie Zhou could easily defeat this guy, but when it comes to shamelessness…
Xie Zhou could only look on in awe.
Now things are really messed up; we're like a weak sheep resisting a fortress, unable to retreat or advance!
Seeing Xie hesitate, the Taoist priest became even more smug. "Hehe, I told you, scared now?"
Xie Zhou was still hesitating, but after hearing the Taoist's words, he immediately made up his mind: "Today I will definitely take your dog's life!"
"Then bring it on!" the Taoist priest challenged.
Xie Zhou couldn't stand the Taoist's provocative manner, so without saying anything else, he stomped his foot, drew his sword, and flew towards the Taoist.
"Pooh!"
The next second, Xie Zhou was so shocked he almost vomited blood.
She had thought the Taoist priest might use despicable means, but she never expected him to use such disgusting methods.
The Taoist priest spat out a mouthful of saliva, and Xie Zhou instinctively used his sword to block it. Ouch!
Saliva splattered onto the sword, causing a green mist to rise and a hissing sound.
"You bastard, are you a weasel? Why are you spewing filth?" Xie Zhou said disgustingly as he landed.
Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest was not angry at all, but rather quite pleased with himself. "This is poison, a deadly poison. If it gets on your body, you will die from festering sores all over your body, unless," the Taoist priest grinned maliciously, "unless you smear my saliva all over your body again, otherwise, even a god cannot save you!"
Hiss~ Xie Zhou couldn't help but shudder. The thought of having to use the Taoist's saliva to detoxify herself if the saliva splashed on her made her feel nauseous.
"Alright, alright!" Xie Zhou thought to himself. He couldn't let catching a fox cause him trouble. He would let the guy go this time.
Thinking of this, Xie Zhou raised his head and said, "I'll let you off the hook today, but you'd better watch yourself!"
After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave.
"That's not up to you!" the Taoist priest said, flipping himself down from the tree. "My poison only produces this much each month; wouldn't it be a waste not to use it?"
After saying that, he spat and charged towards Xie Zhou.
This situation is like a child with diarrhea chasing you down the street. Just imagine how Xie Zhou feels right now.
run!
This was the first thought in Xie Zhou's mind. She absolutely did not want this disgusting thing to touch her, so she ran for her life.
The Taoist priest, meanwhile, chased after him relentlessly.
While Xie Zhou's other skills were decent, her lightness skill was only at the level of an ordinary disciple. Even the Taoist priest was slightly faster than her, so the distance between the Taoist priest and Xie Zhou was getting closer and closer.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Xie Zhou simply turned around, preparing to fight the Taoist priest to the death.
Just as the Taoist priest was about to reach within ten feet of Xie Zhou, Xie Zhou immediately activated his ultimate move, "Cloud-Piercing Slash!"
boom!
A violent roar accompanied by gusts of wind, and the next second, the Taoist priest bled from all seven orifices and descended into hell.
