Chapter 183 Killing Huang You

Ding Shi reached the corner and stood against the wall.

Cui's father was manipulating the Heavenly Secrets Disc, a round stone disc with six rings inside. One ring was engraved with the characters Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding... and another ring was engraved with the characters Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, Kun...

The function of the Tianji Pan is similar to a combination lock, except that a combination lock relies on a password, while the Tianji Pan relies on calculations.

Cui's father made a finger gesture with his left hand and turned one of the rings with his right hand. When his hand stopped, a cloth bag was thrown at them.

A glint flashed in Cui's father's eyes, and he pointed two fingers of his left hand at the cloth bag: "Break."

The bag that flew in front of Cui's father exploded, and dozens of large wasps circled halfway before attacking him.

Cui Fu gathered his true energy and unleashed a powerful palm strike, causing the air to ripple and crushing most of the wasps into dust. He quickly followed up with three more palm strikes, killing all the wasps. However, the attack came too suddenly; one clever wasp launched a sneak attack, stinging Huang You in the face.

Huang You leaped several times and landed behind Ding Shi, chasing after the instigator.

Seeing a shadow flash overhead, Ding Shi braced his left foot against the wall and lashed out with a spinning kick behind him with his right. Huang You hadn't expected Ding Shi's attack to be so decisive and sharp; she hadn't even thought about defending and was kicked in the ribs, the sound of her ribs breaking echoing in the air.

Ding stopped, turned around and sprinted forward, throwing a punch that sent Huang You flying into the air.

Just as Ding Shi was about to pursue them further, a yellow banner flew up and stuck on the wall. Ding Shi turned around and fled for his life.

As the wind rose and the banners fluttered, a beam of white light shot toward Ding Shi. The speed of the light was beyond Ding Shi's ability to escape. Ding Shi's right shoulder was illuminated by the light, and his entire body became immobile, frozen in place. Even inertia and gravity were completely ignored.

Ding Shi immediately gathered his primal force and channeled it into his right shoulder, barely regaining control of his body. He fell to the ground, but without looking back, he continued to run forward.

The second beam of light shone on Ding Shi's back, but the distance was more than 30 meters, so it could only slow Ding Shi down.

He vaguely heard a whooshing sound, and when Ding Shi looked back, he saw a small sword shooting towards him at high speed. It seemed to be equipped with a guidance system.

Ding Shi gathered his primal force in his left hand and threw a hook punch at Xiao Jian. Xiao Jian was bounced up about ten meters into the air, spun half a circle, and then aimed at Ding Shi with its tip before flying back at him.

Is this the Taoist flying sword system?

Ding Shi knocked Xiao Jian away again and crossed the red line at the village entrance. Just as he was about to catch his breath, Xiao Jian ignored the red line and attacked again.

That's not fair! I've already stepped out of the ring and admitted defeat, why are you still chasing me?

As mentioned in the Taoist professions section, the farther the flying sword is from its master, the lower its damage.

Driven by malice, Ding Shi drew upon all his primal energy, concentrating it in his hands. He clamped his hands together, trapping the small sword. The sword resisted fiercely, but Ding Shi gripped the hilt with his right hand. A force emanated from the sword, counteracting the strength in Ding Shi's right hand.

Ding Shi disregarded martial ethics, concentrating all his primal energy in his right hand. Although this left him powerless, Ding Shi still possessed the legs of an ordinary person.

Grabbing Xiao Jian, Ding Shi ran towards the temporary camp. The farther away from Tianmen Village they got, the less resistance Xiao Jian put up. After running 500 meters, Xiao Jian was completely out of control.

Ding Shi then stopped to look at the small sword. It was of average appearance, with a sharpened tip but an unsharpened blade. Ding Shi tried to use the small sword to chop at a tree by the roadside, but it was incredibly dull.

After studying it for two minutes, Ding Shi determined that it was indeed trash. Although it was trash to him, it was a flying sword to the enemy, so it deserved to die.

Ding Shi fiddled around for 10 seconds, and his small sword turned into ten pieces of scrap metal.

At the same time, due to the destruction of his natal flying sword, Glass Cannon Cui's father coughed up a mouthful of blood, his cultivation damaged. He could only temporarily abandon his calculations and sit in meditation to heal his injuries.

In addition, Cui's father had to use his true energy to prolong Huang You's life. Huang You lost four of his beautiful white teeth, his face swelled up like a pig's head, and his ribs and cheekbones were fractured.

Huang You is a ghost cultivator, and ghost cultivators are essentially mages. For a mage to jump in front of a warrior is an act of utter arrogance; if she doesn't get beaten up, who will? If Ding Shi had just 10 more seconds, even with her weak protective ghost aura, he could have beaten her to death.

I still need to practice archery; it's so useful for ambushes. Throwing darts aren't bad either, but I always feel they're not powerful enough to deal with Huang You and Cui's father.

Hmm? His flying sword can fly out of the village? Yes, they are living people, ordinary people; they can leave Tianmen Village. Let's sort this out...

Huang You created the Sanskrit Soul Slave Talisman, suggesting she has some ability to control violent ghosts. Cui's father, on the other hand, only knows how to kill ghosts and people.

At night, Cui's father also had to leave Tianmen Village, otherwise he would be ganged up on by the violent ghosts.

Cui's father is a human being; he works during the day and needs to sleep at night, right?

Ding Shi looked at Sha Bi, who was running towards him. Could this guy really have gone to Sanli Tomb? In any case, Sha Bi was indeed a very good assassin, but also a rather cowardly one.

Cao Ying was no less capable; her main role was coordination, and she also served as an assassin. Although Cao Ying was smarter than Sha Bi, Sha Bi had paid protection money, so she couldn't deliberately harm him. After all, killing Cui's father was very risky; who knew if he had the ability to set up a magic array?

Faced with such a dangerous situation, Ding Shi of the Dragon Gang always gave the opportunity to his underlings, standing guard on the sidelines and taking cover for them. It wasn't that Ding Shi was heartless; logically speaking, he had to give his underlings a chance to stand up for themselves, right?

However, it doesn't necessarily have to be to assassinate them.

……

During lunch, Ding Shi selectively explained the current situation and then outlined his plan: "Huang You and Cui's father are now in the bodies of ordinary people; they need to eat and sleep. Eating is not a problem, as the villagers evacuated in a hurry and left behind a lot of supplies. Sleeping is the issue."

Ding Shi said, "They are human. After nightfall, the violent ghosts begin to move and will inevitably attack them upon seeing them. The first possibility is that Huang You has a method to make the violent ghosts ignore them. The second possibility is that Huang You has the ability to control some of the violent ghosts. As a human, Huang You must rest. When Huang You rests, Cui's father can only rest as well and must leave Tianmen Village."

Cao Ying asked, "Can you confirm their rest time?"

Ding Shi said, "No."

Cao Ying asked, "What are your thoughts?"

Ding Shi said, "I remember you can shoot arrows? And you can even make your own recurve bow?"

Cao Ying looked around for a while, searching for materials, and then said, "Your memory is correct."

Ding Shi said, "I have a plan, but it requires the cooperation of three people."

"Shabi said, 'The three of us working together? Are you kidding me?'"
Ding Shi said, "We share a common interest: to complete the mission of the Divine Tree."

Sha Bi said, "Cao Ying has no main quest; her only quest is to get on the bus on the eighth day."

Ding Shi said, "If Cao Ying doesn't complete the work she needs to do, she won't be able to take the bus on the eighth day."

Cao Ying narrowed her beautiful phoenix eyes: "Are you threatening me?"

Ding Shi nodded: "Mm."

Cao Ying took a sip of tea to calm herself and smiled, "I accept the threat." *You damned man, just wait till I get my hands on you.*

Sha Bi looked at Ding Shi and said, "We have common interests; I don't need threats." ...

The afternoon of the sixth day was a difficult period for Cui's father and Huang You. Ding Shi would always appear near them, sometimes close, sometimes far, occasionally throwing a stone at them, leaving them in a dilemma of whether to chase after him or not, making them extremely uncomfortable.

Finally seeing the sun set, Huang You planned to use the violent ghost to deal with Ding Shi, but Ding Shi had already disappeared. Cui's father put away the magical artifact, and Huang You stopped the violent ghost from getting closer. The two left Tianmen Village and ate near the village entrance.

Cui's father said, "Junior sister, don't worry. Give me a little more time, and I will be able to calculate the location of the divine tree."

Huang You was in a bad mood after being bothered all afternoon, so he nodded and said, "Only by obtaining the Divine Tree can we reshape our Dao bodies. Senior Brother, your cultivation can still reach new heights."

Cui's father frowned for a while: "Junior sister, I always feel that something is wrong with what we've been doing." He felt that apart from loving Huang You, he had almost no ability to think.

Huang You immediately said, "Senior brother, you have to believe me. They are heretics and evil people. You saw that ghost cultivator today, didn't you?"

As Cui's father pondered, Huang You comforted him, saying, "If you can't remember, let's not think about things we can't understand."

Cui's father nodded.

After eating a few pieces of flatbread, the two leaned against the nest they had made of weeds, and sleepiness slowly crept in. Suddenly, an arrow flew straight at them, but its aim and power were poor. Cui's father reached out and caught it in his hand: "There."

Seventy meters away on the road, a woman's figure disappeared into the woods.

Cui's father stood up: "Let's chase after them."

Huang You stopped her, saying, "Senior brother, we can't chase after her. Have you forgotten how wicked that little monkey was this afternoon? There must be a trap in the direction she ran."

Cui's father thought it made sense, so he took out his backpack and hung up the Bagua array cloth.

Ten minutes later, just as the two were about to fall asleep again, the flying arrow arrived once more. The spinning Bagua disc emitted a bolt of lightning that struck the arrow, making a crackling sound. Instantly, Cui's father and Huang You were wide awake and went into a state of alert.

Cui's father comforted her, "Junior sister, with the Bagua Banner protecting us, mere arrows cannot harm us."

Huang You sighed, "But..." Can your lightning bolt be put into silent mode?
Cui's father said, "It's alright, you'll get used to the noise. Sleep soundly."

After several harassments, Huang You and Cui's father were indeed no longer bothered, mainly because they were too exhausted. Just as the two were drifting off to sleep, the ghostly figure quietly approached, broke into the Bagua Banner, and, braving the attacks of tiny lightning bolts, pounced on Cui's father.

Ghostly Shadow grabbed Green Father with his right hand, then hurriedly let go as if burned. Green Father woke up, and Ghostly Shadow turned into black smoke and returned to Foolish Dagger's body.

Huang You also woke up and asked, "What's wrong, Senior Brother?"

Cui's father took out a handful of ashes from his pocket and said, "The talisman blocked the fatal blow for me. Junior sister, there are at least two opponents, and the ghost cultivator is very strong. We can't sleep anymore."

In the first half of the night, Huang You and Cui's father were extremely annoyed by the harassment from Sha Bi and Cao Ying.

In the latter half of the night, Huang You and Cui's father retreated to Tianmen Village. Huang You stayed awake to watch over Cui's father, who was asleep, so that he would not be harmed by the violent ghost.

Seventh day.

As the sun rose, the tyrant lost control of the villagers' bodies. The villagers ate something and went home to sleep. Just as Huang You was about to rest for a while, Ding Shi arrived.

Although Cui's father was very strong and possessed many magical artifacts, he was completely outmatched by Ding Shi in terms of speed and stamina. Ding Shi used the village's advantages to wage guerrilla warfare against Cui's father. Ding Shi's target wasn't Cui's father, but rather the frail Huang You. Calculating the time, Huang You hadn't slept for nearly 30 hours, from 3 AM on the sixth day until now.

Huang You can fall asleep anywhere now, but as soon as he closes his eyes, stones will fly at him.

Huang You was forced to abandon Cui Fu and went to a house to rest. He had just closed his eyes when Ding Shi set the house on fire with a tung oil incendiary bomb he had made himself.

Although he couldn't catch up, Cui's father still chased after Ding Shi for the sake of his beloved junior sister. After two hours of back and forth, Cui's father was panting heavily and almost got ambushed and killed by Ding Shi.

On the seventh day at noon, Ding Shi, having picked up a large flatbread at the village entrance, returned while eating, leaving Cui's father and Huang You, who had just caught their breath, in utter misery. To make matters worse, Ding Shi could speak, constantly preaching the distinction between good and evil, causing Cui's father to fall into deep thought. Huang You was forced to control Cui's father time and time again, pushing her energy to its limit.

At three o'clock in the afternoon on the seventh day, Cui's father lay on the ground, panting heavily, holding a peach wood sword. He was too exhausted to run any further. Three meters behind him was Huang You, who had been following her.

Ding Shi circled around the house and threw a stone at Huang You's head. Cui Fu raised his peach wood sword: "Five Thunder Orthodox Method!" A bolt of lightning shattered the stone into powder. Seeing that Huang You was motionless, Cui Fu hurriedly said, "Junior Sister, hide!" His casting speed couldn't keep up with Ding Shi's stone-throwing speed.

Huang You barely opened his eyes, crawled two steps to the left, and sat down against an earthen wall.

Cui's father stood guard beside Huang You, and stones rained down upon him. Cui's father went after Ding Shi, who fled for his life, using the trick of the King of Qin circling a pillar to ambush Huang You.

But they couldn't give up, so Cui's father turned around and chased after Ding Shi, who was 30 meters away: "Junior sister, keep up."

Exhausted, Huang You gave a low reply and struggled to her feet, but couldn't keep up with Cui's father. Cui's father's mind was basically blank, lacking the ability to think, and he followed Ding Shi, not noticing the lagging Huang You. Ding Shi circled around at top speed and caught up with Huang You.

Ding Shi launched a surprise attack on Huang You: leaped up and elbowed Huang You in the back of the neck, pinched Huang You's neck and grabbed Huang You's head to smash a stone, grabbed Huang You's head with both hands and rolled over in death, ( ), struck Huang You's temples with two thunderbolts, ( ) kicked Huang You 50 meters away.

Enraged, Cui's father circled around and chased after Ding Shi.

"Hehehehe." Ding Shi laughed wildly, with one hand on one half of his head.

Cui's father's eyes were bloodshot; he wished he could drink the blood and eat the flesh. At Ding Shi (7:00-9:00 AM). Faced with the multiple-choice question, Cui's father knelt down, bent over, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Cui's father stood up, but Ding Shi was nowhere to be seen. Looking around blankly, Cui's father heard a noise and turned around, only to see Ding Shi standing there ( ).

With his last breath, Cui's father ran towards Ding Shi, who was ( ).

After being reborn, Huang You controlled Cui's father, making him fall hopelessly in love with her. As a result, Huang You became Cui's father's Achilles' heel.

What's even more hateful is that her enemy Ding Shi keeps laughing loudly, and Cui's father is helpless and can only watch Ding Shi ().

()
( ) Cui's father remained motionless, his eyes filled with despair and hatred.

Ding Shi (11:00-12:00).

MD, not subject to force.

At Ding Shi, a stone was added, and the stone flew out quickly ( ).

Suddenly, a surge of black energy rose from Cui's father's body, accompanied by billowing black smoke.

Ding Shi was shocked: "What's going on?"

A beam of light shone into Ding Shi's eyes. Ding Shi carried ( ) and ran happily to Feng Qiniang's room. Feng Qiniang said, "He has been possessed by a demon, run!"

Ding Shi was shocked: "Where's the ghost book you promised? How did it turn into a demon book?" What is a demon? It sounds really powerful.
