Martial Arts Crossover: I am the strongest demonic monk of Tianlong Temple

When he saw the figure behind him clearly, he frowned slightly, "Poisonous Old Ghost?!"

"I thought... you had defected!"

The man who appeared in the store was none other than the black-robed old man who had failed to kill Chen Mo and his group a month ago—Poisonous Heart Old Ghost.

He was still wearing a black robe, but his figure was more hunched over than before.

His face was unhealthy and pale. His breathing was much more steady than when he was on the run, but it still felt weak. Clearly, his injuries had not fully healed.

The old devil with a poisonous heart ignored the old shopkeeper, walked straight to the armchair, and lay down without any politeness.

"Defection?!"

"I almost lost my life out there, what kind of defection is that?!"

"Old man, I'm back to settle accounts with you!"

"Settle the accounts?"

The old shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and looked him up and down. "Old ghost, you've been out of touch ever since you took on the mission."

"Now you've come back without explaining why, and instead you want to settle scores with me?!"

"Humph!"

Poisonous Old Ghost sat up abruptly, suppressing his anger, "If it weren't for my good fortune and having enough trump cards, I would have been a pile of withered bones by now!"

"Old man, the information you gave me is wildly wrong!"

He paused, then continued, "That little bald monk is not some novice who got lucky and obtained an opportunity as an ordinary innate talent."

"His cultivation level... is at least at the late stage of the Innate Realm!"

"His true energy is incredibly powerful and refined, and his martial arts techniques are endless!"

"The lousy information you gave me is practically sending me to my death!"

"Late stage of the Innate Realm?"

The old shopkeeper frowned deeply. "A late-stage Innate Realm cultivator under twenty years old? When did such a figure appear in the martial arts world?"

“I… have never heard of it before.”

"Old Ghost, are you sure you didn't see wrong? Or... are you making excuses for your mistake?"

"Making excuses?"

The old devil with a poisonous heart roared, "Bullshit!"

"I almost lost my life in there, and you think I'm making excuses for you?!"

"Cough cough..."

He was so excited that he aggravated his internal injuries and couldn't help but cough twice.

Upon seeing this, the old shopkeeper frowned deeply!

If what that venomous old devil said is true, then this mission objective has probably met with a brick wall.

The old devil with a poisonous heart continued, "Old man, I advise you to cancel this mission!"

"Unless... the employer can offer more incentives that would make others envious, and get a higher-ups to take action."

"For example... the Supreme level!"

"Supreme level?!"

Upon hearing this, the old shopkeeper chuckled as if he had heard a joke, "Poisonous Old Ghost, do you know what price it takes to hire a Supreme-level assassin?"

"Even selling the entire city of Suzhou might not be enough!"

"That employer may have some connections, but there's absolutely no way he could produce such resources!"

He pondered for a moment, seemingly weighing the veracity of what the old devil with a poisonous heart had said.

Finally, he nodded slowly, "I will report this situation to the organization and request that this task be frozen."

"As for your losses..."

Before the old shopkeeper could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the venomous old devil, "My losses?"

"It's simple. I added one Rejuvenating Pill to it, and the organization just needs to compensate me with two!"

"Ok?"

The old shopkeeper was taken aback. "Old ghost, you actually added a Rejuvenating Pill to it?"

"It seems you're badly injured this time..."

"You should know that those pills are life-saving elixirs."

"Humph!"

The old devil with the poisonous heart had a gloomy face. "If it weren't for the Rejuvenating Pill keeping my heart meridian alive, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have made it back!"

The old shopkeeper paused for a moment, then sighed, "Well, this was indeed my oversight."

"The organization will most likely only compensate you with one Rejuvenating Pill, as for the other one..."

"I'll personally compensate you!"

"That's more like it!"

Upon hearing this, the old devil with the poisonous heart looked slightly better and leaned back in his armchair, seemingly relieved.

It's already quite an achievement to be able to squeeze compensation out of those stingy intelligence brokers in the Dark Night Pavilion.

Rumble!!

Just then, an indescribable, terrifying pressure descended upon this small pawnshop without any warning.

The surrounding air seemed to have become incredibly thick, and even the tables, chairs, and counters creaked under the weight.

"Who goes there?!"

The old shopkeeper and the poisonous old devil's expressions changed drastically at the same time, and they looked up in horror.

"Got you!"

The voice rang in their ears, as if the speaker were right beside them.

But when the old devil with a poisonous heart heard this, he jumped up from his armchair like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

The color drained from his face, and his sinister eyes were filled with disbelief.

That voice… he knew it all too well!

It's him!

It's that damned bald monk!

wrong!

How could he possibly have found this place?!

The old shopkeeper, on the other hand, was stunned upon hearing this!

Have I found you?

Who are they looking for?

He turned to look at the old devil with poisonous heart, and saw that his whole body was trembling slightly. "Old devil, is that you?!"

"You actually dared to bring a 'tail' with you?!"

"fart!"

Poisonous Old Ghost instinctively retorted, "How could I possibly..."

Bang!

The pawnshop's door, along with its frame, exploded with a deafening roar!

Amidst the flying sawdust, a finger strike of utmost concentration pierced through the air, aiming directly at the heart meridian of the Poison Heart Old Ghost.

what? !

The old devil's pupils shrank suddenly, and he unleashed astonishing potential at the critical moment of life and death.

He desperately mobilized his internal energy, using all his strength, his body contorted in pain.

In an incredible gesture, he dodged the fatal finger strike.

Boom!

The force of the finger pierced a bottomless hole in the wall behind them.

If someone were to be struck by this pointer, even the Poisonous Old Ghost at his peak would likely die on the spot.

"Let's kill him together!"

Poisonous Old Ghost roared at the old shopkeeper, wanting to join forces to kill Chen Mo.

Just as the old shopkeeper was about to make a move, he saw the Poisonous Old Ghost turn around and try to escape.

"Wormini-ni-nii-nii!!!"

He was so angry that he started cursing, realizing that he had been abandoned.

Did I say you could leave?!

Chen Mo chuckled softly.

Dragon-Capturing Skill!

He made a fist with his right hand, and a surge of powerful Nirvana energy flowed out like a tide, condensing into a semi-transparent golden Buddha hand in mid-air.

The figure of the poisonous old ghost who was trying to escape was immediately caught by the golden Buddha hand!

He desperately channeled his inner energy, his black robe billowing like a ball, yet he still couldn't break free from the golden Buddha's hand.

At the same time, Chen Mo pressed down with his other hand.

The old shopkeeper, who had been standing still, suddenly felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him.

Bang!

He was pinned to the ground by an immense force!
