Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 1190 - 127: Wangsi City, Defaming Spell? Sir, Times Have Changed!
"Hehe, I understand! Thanks to Sister Chan for looking out for me!" Xu Shu chuckled.
The term ’sister’ was quite appreciated, Xie Xiaochan smiled: "Alright, as long as you know. By the way, I really don’t know how to deal with that Clone Ghost. But if the Scissors Ghost is chasing you, remember not to respond to her gibberish filth, or you’ll get seriously hurt!"
"Alright, got it." Xu Shu nodded, not arguing back.
In fact, Xie Xiaochan’s information was completely wrong, and Xu Shu had already figured out these two Ghost Kings’ weaknesses. As "Spirit King Arthur," who had once sent these female ghosts flying with his Ziwei Stick, Xu Shu surely had the qualifications to speak this way.
"Alright, I’m off then."
Xie Xiaochan said, but before she could turn away, Xu Shu grabbed her sleeve.
He discreetly glanced at Gu Yue Ming, who was completely oblivious, and asked, "Is this Boundary-breaking Talisman the only one? If it’s just for me, what about her? Isn’t she your good sister?"
"...Just say less, okay?" Xie Xiaochan’s expression stiffened, rolling her eyes in irritation, then said nothing more and flipped away, slipping into the crevice of a nearby rock with a swish.
From the outside, she seemed to merge into the mountain, vanishing completely.
"What, Earth Tunneling Technique? The methods of the Taoist people are quite special. Haha, but their sisterhood seems too fragile, doesn’t it?"
While Xu Shu clicked his tongue in wonder, he had no intention of using this Purple Talisman.
This small life-saving item was merely icing on the cake for him, just an hour of ’safe house’ isolation inside? What’s the point of that?
Might as well give it to Gu Yue Ming as a favor.
After all, if it really came down to it, he couldn’t just ignore his little aunt, could he?
With that thought, Xu Shu stealthily slipped the Boundary-breaking Talisman to Gu Yue Ming, telepathically explaining its use, finishing with, "Aunt, if things go south during the fight, use this talisman to save your life!"
"Alright, understood..."
Gu Yue Ming looked at Xu Shu with a complicated expression but eventually nodded in agreement.
As they spoke, Xie Xiaochan, Jiang Biyun, and the other five were already ambushed around the entrance, hiding themselves to serve as protectors.
At a glance, it seemed incredibly similar to the situation they passed back in Nagoya.
The vortex entrance made of smoke had grown to over two meters tall.
You could definitely feel that the other side of the vortex faintly echoed with chanting and bell-tolling, seemingly connecting to a peculiar space.
"Everyone, the incense only lasts for six hours, so we must make this quick. The enemy is not to be underestimated, so use whatever methods you have, don’t hold back!"
Yan Huoxing clapped his hands and was the first to speak.
Once he got a response, he led the way to the vortex entrance without another word.
After a brief pause, waiting for the vortex to widen enough to allow him through, Yan Huoxing took out a fish basket-like object, pulling out a tied-up "Mang."
With a slap, Yan Huoxing donned the gear, the fish awakened as if startled, puffing up with its mouth, but said nothing.
Clearly, this mermaid was caught earlier from who knows where, now ready and prepared for battle.
Xu Shu looked somewhat delighted; the mermaid’s fish body extended to its waist, evident of being second-level, likely possessing two Buddhist characters inside. After the fight, he might ask for it.
Thinking this, Yan Huoxing seemed to sense it and looked back at Xu Shu.
Their eyes met, and Yan Huoxing hesitated to speak.
Xu Shu’s heart stirred; after pondering, he approached and asked, "Brother Yan, since we’re heading to the battlefield together, we’re comrades, feel free to speak your mind!"
"Uh... well, alright. Actually, I’ve been wanting to ask this for a while."
Yan Huoxing nodded, seeming to gather his words, his lips quivering slightly before finally gazing at the merman Xu Shu was riding and saying:
"Dude, why do you keep it on? Doesn’t it get tired, too? After these few hours, won’t it get all wrinkly? Maybe switch it out now; once inside the secret realm, you won’t be able to change it."
"Huh?"
Xu Shu was momentarily stunned, but he’s seen his share of storms and tempests, so after a moment’s thought, he said, "No worries, this merman suits me just right; being too tense is uncomfortable."
Yan Huoxing said, "Alright then, let’s see who lasts longer later!"
"Sure thing, but Brother Yan, don’t overestimate yourself, if you can’t keep up, let me take over," Xu Shu said.
"Heh, looking down on me? Wanna compete?"
"Compete it is!"
Even the merman could feel the growing fighting spirit, opening its mouth to protest.
"Damn."
What, all wrinkly, too tight, change one?
What kind of wolfish talk, this is so outrageous, downright crude! Vulgar!
Seeing the two "Dragon Elephants" genuinely ready to compete here, the other women on the team all spat in distaste, turning their faces aside, expressions full of disdain.
Fortunately, this embarrassing behavior lasted less than a second before Yan Huoxing’s pupils shrank, and he changed the topic first, "Cough cough, enough fooling around, I’m heading in first, dudes!"
Saying so, he stepped into the vortex like a mud ox entering the sea, vanishing entirely.
The other four quickly followed, entering the vortex.
Xu Shu followed closely behind.
