When you encounter a weasel on the road asking for a title, appoint it as the Jade Emperor.

"Young Taoist priest! Do you truly intend to fight me to the death?!"

The old man's face was full of anger.

Zhang Chuyu scoffed.

"You worthless wretch, you dare challenge me to a life-or-death struggle?"

This old guy is quite strong.

But they were no match for Zhang Chuyu at all.

"Fine! Fine! You really think I'm afraid of you!"

In the old man's hands.

An ancient bell appeared.

The bell is covered with various talismans.

It emitted wisps of black energy.

You can vaguely see figures wailing in the middle of it.

He rang the bell.

He was muttering to himself.

"A side method of manifesting spirits, a paper effigy of a netherworld deity!"

"We respectfully invite the spirits of the underworld to manifest!"

As the last two words were uttered.

He spat out blood, which landed on the two men.

call--

A sudden gust of cold wind swept through the room.

The temperature in the air is plummeting.

It's summer, but it feels like an ice cave!

The two paper figures standing in the very center, with the words "day and night patrolling" written on their waists, are the ones that stand the longest.

And at this very moment.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

A terrifying aura erupted from both of them.

This aura is different from that of ghosts.

More ferocious than a ghost!

It's even more terrifying.

Even Zhang Chuyu's gaze held a hint of surprise.

It is said that the Yin Eight Gates techniques belong to unorthodox schools.

But they eat food from the underworld.

It has reached a certain point.

It will then be able to connect with the netherworld.

I never expected that this old man in front of me could actually do that.

Although these two statues patrol day and night, they only possess a trace of spirituality.

But it's only effective against ordinary practitioners.

Even a cultivator at the peak of the Innate Realm is enough!

No wonder he dared to stir up trouble.

They've hidden this trump card.

"What do you want by summoning me, God?!"

One of the night patrol statues opened its mouth.

The sound was a buzzing, muffled thunder.

The old man respectfully bowed to the two figures that were on patrol.

"I beg the divine lord to help me slay this scoundrel!"

As he spoke, he pointed at Zhang Chuyu.

The two figures on patrol looked towards Zhang Chuyu.

His eyes were filled with murderous intent.

They are merely a wisp of spirit, lacking much consciousness.

"kill!"

Both of their bodies swayed.

The shackles in his hands slammed down towards Zhang Chuyu.

A terrifying power.

Even a peak-level expert couldn't stop it.

boom--

An unprecedentedly terrifying explosion rang out!

Both attacks struck Zhang Chuyu squarely.

A cold smile crept across the old man's lips.

Bringing out this trump card will shorten one's lifespan.

But as long as we kill this kid.

Having drained his life essence, I'd have enough to report back to my superiors.

however.

next moment.

You can see it right in the center of the explosion.

A ray of golden light stood there.

No matter how hard the two processional figures tried, they couldn't move forward an inch.

"His skill level is only average; he still needs to train."

The old man's expression finally changed.

"How...is this possible!"

Under such power.

This young Taoist priest should absolutely not have been able to stop him!

But now... the two Yin spirits that I respectfully invited.

Even his golden light couldn't be broken through!

but.

What terrified him even more was yet to come!

Shila-

A ray of white light suddenly leaped from Zhang Chuyu's fingertips.

The extremely violent fluctuations swept through in an instant!

The white light was not dazzling.

But when you see clearly what it is...

Even the hairs on the two patrolling figures stood on end.

"Thunder... Thunder Magic!!!"

The old man's lips were trembling.

He uttered two words in disbelief.

Nima!

It's a thunder magic user!

What the hell is the point of playing this game?!

The principles of Taoism are boundless.

Anything related to thunder magic is definitely an extraordinary supernatural power!

Moreover, this thunder is almost a natural counter to those of them from unorthodox sects!

Unorthodox methods involve the interplay of Yin and Yang, and connect with the netherworld; they are inherently imbued with Yin energy.

And the Thunder, without a doubt.

It is the epitome of masculinity and virility!

Let alone a mere underworld patrol, even if a real Yin deity came, they wouldn't dare to defy the Thunder Magic!

"Little white worm".

Zhang Chuyu didn't give them time to think.

He pressed his finger down on the two procession statues.

Swah——

Two white bolts of lightning shot out at an unimaginable speed.

boom--

A blinding white light flashed!

There was no struggle, and no surprise.

The two wandering figures exploded with a deafening roar.

A pool of blood and flesh and two blurry human faces exploded out from inside.

If someone from the Bureau of Strange Things were present, they would be able to recognize it.

These two were the Night's Watch members who had previously accepted the mission.

"Host has killed 2 paper figurines of human skin, gaining 1200 merit points!"

A notification sound rang in Zhang Chuyu's mind.

Zhang Chuyu looked at the old man.

Lightning flashed at his fingertips once more.

"No! Don't kill me!! Don't kill me!!"

The old man was completely panicked and kept backing away.

"Heaven's sins may be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins are unforgivable."

puff-

A flash of white light, and the old man's forehead was pierced through.

Only despair remained in his eyes, gradually fading away.

His body fell to the ground.

The residual power of the thunder manifested, and even his physical body exploded.

"Host has defeated 1 Paper Craftsman, gaining 700 Merit Points!"

The system's notification sound appeared in Zhang Chuyu's mind again.

They gave quite a lot.

Zhang Chuyu looked at her system panel.

[Host]: Zhang Chuyu

[Destiny]: Dao Ancestor Destiny (Unique)

[Cultivation Level]: Third Level of the Spirit Sea Realm

[Taoist Techniques]: Golden Light Divine Mantra (Perfect), Rebirth Mantra, Heavenly Record (Great Accomplishment), Shrinking Earth to an Inch Simplified Version (Max Level), Yang Five Thunders (Minor Accomplishment) (Note: Taoist technique levels are divided into: Beginner, Proficient, Minor Accomplishment, Great Accomplishment, Perfect)

[Merit]: 31000 (Merit can be redeemed for rewards in the system shop)

Tonight.

Merit points directly exceeded 30,000.

The harvest was plentiful.

Zhang Chuyu was still quite satisfied.

He regained his composure.

He glanced toward the funeral parlor.

The shop, which was once quite tidy, is now dilapidated.

Fortunately, Zhang Chuyu wasn't needed for the final touches.

"What is that?"

Zhang Chuyu's gaze swept over the old man's corpse.

Suddenly paused.

He took a step forward.

We have arrived in front of that thing.

Then he bent down and picked up a sign from the ground.

The sign is entirely black and only about half the size of a palm.

In its center, a black lotus flower blooms!

Three lotus leaves adorn the top.

"It's this brand again."

Zhang Chuyu raised an eyebrow slightly.

A thought crossed my mind.

An almost identical token had already appeared in his hand.

The only difference is that the black lotus on the token that just appeared only has two lotus leaves!

"It must be an organization."

"When we get back, we'll ask Xu Hongshan about it."

Zhang Chuyu put the sign away.

Then he took out his phone.

Submit the bounty on the Night Watchman app.

Holding an umbrella.

Leave.
