Under One Person: The Taoist Priest Descends the Mountain

The bread truck stopped, and Xia Liuqing and Balun got out.

Baron headed in that direction, but Xia Liuqing grabbed him, saying, "Don't rush, there might be a problem."

Cheng Mo carefully sensed it.

The corpse's Qi had dissipated, and there was nothing unusual about the surrounding Qi flow.

but……

There are breathing sounds.

It's very light and very short.

It lasted only two or three breaths before disappearing completely.

Cheng Mo's eyes flashed, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Two steps and they were already dozens of meters away—the very spot where the breathing had disappeared.

A look of surprise flashed across Baron's eyes.

This speed—

He subconsciously estimated in his mind that if it was aimed at him, he would probably have no choice but to fight it head-on and wouldn't be able to dodge it at all.

Xia Liuqing clicked her tongue twice: "Cheng's improvement in strength is a bit too exaggerated."

Xia He was a little confused: "Has there been a big improvement?"

In her opinion, the young Taoist priest was indeed very fast, but it was no different from before, and she could still keep up with him with difficulty.

Over there, Cheng Mo reached out and probed.

"oops!"

With a gasp, a figure was pulled out of the ground; it was the mage from before.

The formation master tried to resist, but Cheng Mo tightened his grip and grabbed the back of his neck, causing the man's body to go limp and he to lose his strength.

The array patterns beneath Cheng Mo's feet flickered, and he tossed the man aside.

With a loud rumble, a human-shaped crater appeared in the ground, just in time to catch the person.

Immediately, the earthen wall rose up, sealing the person inside, leaving only their head outside.

Cheng Mo walked over and looked down at him: "Did you kill all those people?"

The formation master gasped for breath: "Our own people! Brothers, our own people! Those are all Japanese devils!"

Xia He walked over: "How can you prove they are Japanese devils?"

"The Japanese look different from us, why don't you go and see for yourself—"

The formation master suddenly gasped, "Hiss! Ouch! I was wrong, I was wrong, brother!"

Xia He looked completely bewildered: "???"

Cheng Mo sneered: "This kid is dishonest; he tried to run away just now."

The formation master was on the verge of tears.

Where the hell did this monster come from? I hadn't even finished my incantation before I was discovered!

Even worse, he could clearly feel that his second brother was being pushed up by three thorns in the ground. If he made the slightest move, it would be a disaster... no, it would be a complete disaster.

bang——

The group turned to look.

Barron leaped into the pile of corpses and crouched down to examine them one by one.

After flipping through the pages a few times, he looked up and said, "Two of them are definitely Japanese, but the other features aren't particularly obvious."

The formation master quickly shouted, "See? See? I told you they were Japanese devils! We're on the same side!"

Cheng Mo wasn't buying it: "Tell me first, who are you, and why did you kill them?"

The formation master panicked: "No, those Japanese devils came to our land to loot things, it's normal for me to kill them, isn't it?"

Cheng Mo stared at him. "Who are you?"

The formation master shuddered.

That look... was even more terrifying than any of the desperados he had encountered over the years.

"I don't want to ask a third time."

The formation master quickly said, "My name is Liu Yunwei. I'm just a freelance cultivator who occasionally takes on small jobs from the company. If you know anyone in the company, you can verify this directly!"

Cheng Mo glanced at him, took out his phone, found Gao Lian's number, and dialed it.

Beep beep beep—Connection complete.

"Master Cheng, what is it?" Gao Lian's voice came.

Cheng Mo: "Old Gao, I want to ask you about someone. Do you know Liu Yunwei? He's a guy who knows formations, around thirty years old."

On the other end of the phone, Gao Lian seemed to be confirming something with someone else.

A few seconds later, a voice came through: "There is such a person, who has worked with the company before. But this guy is a sly old fox, he'll take any job. What, is he causing trouble for Master Cheng?"

Cheng Mo glanced at Liu Yunwei, whose head was the only thing left: "He just killed some Japanese soldiers."

Gao Lian paused for two seconds: "...You're in Yanbian?"

"Just arrived."

"Then I must remind Master Cheng," Gao Lian's tone became serious, "The Tang Clan leader is over there, and two of the Ten Elders are also watching over him. Please be careful."

Meanwhile, Xia Liuqing exclaimed, "Hey! Isn't that Tang Miaoxing? The Tang Clan has really gone all out this time!"

Cheng Mo looked towards the battlefield.

Although he was far away, he could still see clearly that there were many people lying on the ground.

Cheng Mo spoke into the microphone, asking, "What is the company's stance on this matter?"

Gao Lian considered for a moment and said, "I can only tell you that the company intends to hand over the demon sword to the Ishikawa family. Of course, it's just an intention."

Cheng Mo nodded: "Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Xia He leaned closer and asked, "What did Uncle Gao say?"

Cheng Mo put away his phone: "Let's go our own way."

Xia He understood.

Liu Yunwei shouted from the side, "Gentlemen, I wasn't lying to you, was I? I really am just a freelancer who can't stand seeing those Japanese devils bullying us here!"

Cheng Mo looked at him: "Then explain yourself first. With your strength, how did you manage to kill so many of them?"

Liu Yunwei quickly explained, "It's a formation! I lured them into my formation, and once they're inside, they're completely at my mercy."

Baron suddenly spoke up: "Oh? The formation is that powerful? I'd like to try it out."

Liu Yunwei's face turned green: "Brother, are you kidding me? My life and happiness are still in your hands!"

Cheng Mo pointed at Baron: "Oh, I don't know him, you can do as you please."

Liu Yunwei wasn't fooled: "Brother, you're joking. If you really mess with someone, you'll have to give me a taste of my own medicine, right? I can't handle that."

Cheng Mo was too lazy to argue with him, so he casually dispelled the spell and turned to ask Xia Liuqing, "Isn't the old man going over?"

Xia Liuqing scoffed, "If you're not going, what am I, an old man, supposed to do?"

"Didn't you say the Japanese killed your sect members and you came here seeking revenge?" Cheng Mo pointed over there. "There aren't many Japanese left over there now."

Xia Liuqing squinted at him: "Young Cheng, don't try to trick me. Since we're already here, let me tell you the truth, this old man is here to witness this."

"Could you elaborate?"

Xia Liuqing's expression was enigmatic: "To put it simply, I have an old friend who lost his family to the Japanese. Decades have passed, but the hatred has only grown. Later, he unexpectedly obtained the demon sword Hirumaru and set up a scheme to torment the Japanese to death."

Cheng Mo frowned: "Is your friend a sorcerer?"

Xia Liuqing shook her head: "I don't know which school or sect he belongs to now. Anyway, he used to be a court jester. But after his family was destroyed, he learned some strange and weird things."

Cheng Mo looked towards the battlefield and said, "Then you can avenge your friend soon."

"Yeah..." Xia Liuqing sighed, "Well, I'd better go over and lend a hand."

Baron reminded her, "Xia, you never said you were going to kill anyone."

Xia Liuqing waved her hand: "If you don't want to go, then you can just watch from the sidelines. Didn't you want to spar with Brother Cheng? This is a good opportunity for you to have some fun."

Cheng Mo was displeased: "Hey, old man, you're showing favoritism. He just saw me make a move, but I don't know his tricks."

Xia Liuqing pointed at Baron and introduced him: "Baron used to be a special forces soldier, skilled in assassination. He has an incredible digestive system and an amazing recovery ability. Anyway, if I were to fight him, I could manage the first ten moves, but after that I would definitely get beaten into a pulp."

Baron said expressionlessly, "It won't take ten moves."

Xia Liuqing puffed out his beard and glared, "Don't you know how to give your Master Xia any face?!"

When Cheng Mo saw the foreigner next to Xia Liuqing, he guessed who this guy was.

However, this has now been confirmed by Xia Liuqing.

The successor of the Six Treasures Immortal Thief... is indeed worth a try.

However, he is now more interested in what Xia Liuqing will do next.

Cheng Mo pointed to his motorcycle: "You should ride this thing over there, otherwise I'm afraid you won't make it in time."

Xia Liuqing's eyes lit up: "I won't pay for it if it gets damaged."

"That won't work."

Xia Liuqing laughed heartily, hopped on his motorcycle, twisted the throttle, and sped away with a whoosh.

Xia He watched the motorcycle disappear into the distance: "Are we just going to watch from here?"

Cheng Mo glanced at the battlefield: "It's a bit far."

He glanced at Baron.

Baron simply looked at himself, his eyes filled with fighting spirit, but he showed no intention of making a move.

Cheng Mo asked, "Let's go take a look, what about you?"

Barron shook his head: "I'm right here."

Cheng Mo was a little confused by this person, shook his head, and slowly led Xia He in that direction.

I had only taken a few steps—

"No! Dude!" Liu Yunwei shouted from behind, "Let me out first!"

Cheng Mo didn't even turn his head.

Just as Liu Yunwei was about to shout again, Baron walked up to him and said, "Now, you can activate the formation and let me test its strength."

Liu Yunwei's eyes lit up: "Okay! You just wait!"

next second.

Liu Yunwei disappeared underground.

The formation remained motionless.

Barron stood there, waiting for ages, but nothing happened.

He looked down at his feet, then looked up at his surroundings.

A rare look of bewilderment crossed his face.

If you could only read one fantasy novel in your life, it would probably be "Under One Person: The Taoist Priest Descends the Mountain".
