Chapter 947 - Another Bronze Grimace Mask Man
Chapter 947 Another Bronze Grimace Mask Man
“This guy has also appeared here?” Ding Hao was even more surprised.
“Could it be that he has been forcibly brought here by Evil Moon, the Demon King?
“After the evolution, the strength of Evil Moon, the Demon King, greatly increased. It has grown two more pairs of wings. Its speed is faster, comparable to flowing light. It could sneak in, but the problem is that the Fat Cat is absolutely a guy who will not do anything without benefits. It will definitely keep all the benefits to itself. Why did it bring the greedy old guide with messy hair with it?”
There was the sound of fighting in the passageway.
Any tiny sound, in such a labyrinth-like environment, would be amplified after repeated echoes. When Ding Hao arrived, the battle was over.
Evil Moon, the Demon King, was standing on its hind legs like a human being. Its front legs were folded across its chest. It leaned back and laughed loudly, revealing its teeth. “Hahaha, you old Taoist priest with messy hair, what are you afraid of? I’ve already said that the power of these people is confined by the suppressive power between heaven and earth and that they are no match for me at all... Meow, haha, the six of you, listen to me. Hand over the treasures on you obediently. If you hand over one less, I’ll bite you to death!”
It grinned and showed its small white teeth.
The old guide with messy hair was standing beside Evil Moon with bruises on his face. His clothes had been torn.
On the opposite side, there were six masters at the peak of the Sage Realm from the Celestial Being Palace. They were all middle-aged, but they were in a very sorry state. They stood side by side with bruises on their faces, not daring to move at all. Their faces were covered with cat paw prints and wing prints. They looked as wretched as gangsters fighting on the street. They looked at Evil Moon with resentment and fear in their eyes.
The Celestial Being Palace was a sect that dominated a province. It had countless masters. These six men were famous masters in the local area. They had countless disciples and had high prestige. Usually, they were worshiped like ancestors, but today they were beaten by a cat. It was really shameful.
They even wanted to die because of the shame.
Being threatened by Evil Moon, the Demon King, they had to obediently take out all their storage utensils and treasures.
“Someone is coming!” The old guide with messy hair was extremely vigilant. He had heard footsteps.
Evil Moon looked excited. “Has another fat sheep come to our door? That’s great. Hey, listen, I have planted this tree and have built this road. If you want to pass here, you have to leave a toll... Meow? Human Pet, why is it you?” As soon as the Demon King finished the jingle, it was stunned.
Ding Hao walked out of the passageway with a dark face. He raised his hand and flicked Evil Moon’s forehead a few times. He said angrily, “Why do you learn to rob people? You have brought disgrace on me...”
The six masters from the Celestial Being Palace on the opposite side were dumbfounded.
Where did this tough man come from? His cultivation seemed to be just at the early stage of the Saint level, but he dared to beat this terrifying white Fat Cat with wings? He was courting death. Didn’t he know how terrible this Fat Cat was when it was angry?
However, what happened next shocked all these masters from the Celestial Being Palace.
Instead of being angry, the ferocious Fat Cat put on a flattering face. It covered its forehead and said with a very human-like obsequious smile, “Hey, don’t be angry, Human Pet. I just want to make money. You know, I’m a little poor recently, and I’m a little tight on money. Don’t be angry. Anyway, how about we divide the things, which I’ve just robbed, equally... Well? You still want to hit me? I’m getting angry... Meow, don’t hit my handsome face...”
Evil Moon had sneaked out, so it was naturally not confident.
The old guide with messy hair was rolling his eyes. He turned around and was about to leave them. Ding Hao grabbed him and glared at him. “You have instigated this stupid cat to come here, haven’t you? It has been with you for less than a month, but it has been led astray by you?”
“I’m wronged. I was forced.” The old guide with messy hair was wailing. “Boss, you have to understand everything. I was forced by this Fat Cat to come here. I’m no match for it. I’ve been bullied these days...”
“Meow. Old boy, you are too disloyal. Who said that he knew the way here and would definitely find the Immortal Artifact?” Evil Moon, the Demon King, was also angry. It looked as if it was going to fight desperately. It said angrily, “Our friendship is broken. Old boy, you are too conniving. We can no longer be friends!”
Ding Hao’s eyes fell on the old guide with messy hair and he asked, “Do you really know where the Immortal Artifact is?”
The old guide with messy hair was shocked and said obsequiously, “That’s impossible. I lied to that Fat Cat...”
“Lead the way,” said Ding Hao unquestionably.
“But I really don’t know the way.” The old guide with messy hair shrugged with a bitter face.
“Believe it or not, I’ll beat you to death? Lead the way.” Evil Moon showed its sharp claws, looking malicious.
The old guide with messy hair had to lead the way with a bitter face.
Ding Hao followed him closely. Somehow, he had a feeling that this mysterious old guide must know something. His “Mind Essential” intuition told him that this man was extremely mysterious and was definitely not as simple as he looked.
Evil Moon jumped happily onto Ding Hao’s shoulder and followed him all the way.
The six masters from the Celestial Being Palace were left behind. With bruises on their faces, they stood gazing at one another. They didn’t dare to move at all. They watched Ding Hao and the others disappear into the depths of the passageway in the distance and breathed a sigh of relief.
The cat who was the Demon King finally left.
“I swear I’m not human if I don’t avenge myself.” A master of the Celestial Being Palace swore with hatred. Under the suppressive power between heaven and earth, his strength could not be exerted. He was badly beaten by a cat, which was simply the greatest shame of his life.
Another master said, “Let’s leave here quickly. If the Demon King returns, we’ll all be in trouble.”
The expressions of the others also changed, and they rushed to leave in the opposite direction like unfettered wild dogs.
“Meow. I seem to have forgotten something just now?” Evil Moon stood on Ding Hao’s shoulder thoughtfully.
“You forgot to rob them. Those six guys have run away,” said the old guide with messy hair in a bad mood as he led the way.
“Nonsense, when did I rob others? I’m such a kind and lovely little cat. How can I rob others?” As it said so, Evil Moon looked at Ding Hao nervously. When it saw that Ding Hao did not have any special expression, it gnashed its teeth and thought in its heart, “This old guide with messy hair is really a bastard. He’s touching on the sore spot.” At the same time, it felt it was a pity. “I felt guilty just now and forgot to rob those guys from the Celestial Being Palace. They were lucky.”
“How did you get here? Hasn’t the entrance been blocked by various forces?” asked Ding Hao without a clear intention.
“Who can stop me?” Evil Moon proudly exhibited its two pairs of wings.
Ding Hao glared at it as if saying, “Will you die if you don’t speak?” He continued to look at the old guide with messy hair and said, “By the way, I’ve never asked you your name.”
The old guide with messy hair grinned. He tugged at his mustache and said, “Thank you for asking. All my friends in the underworld call me Sky Flipping Rat. My surname is Qu and my first name is Feng.”
“‘Sky Flipping Rat’ Qu Feng?” Ding Hao tried to recall this name in his mind. He had never heard of such a name. Moreover, the nickname “Sky Flipping Rat” did not sound elegant, but low-class. It should not be the title of a senior master.
“Is this old guide with messy hair really an ordinary person? Or is he hiding his true identity?” Ding Hao had no idea.
He soon found that the old guide with messy hair was not leading the way at random. Several turns seemed to be aimless, but in fact, they were getting closer and closer to a certain center, because the passageway was wider and wider, and the purple Immortal Qi in the air was getting thicker and thicker.
“Is this guy pretending to be a pig to prey on the tiger?”
Ding Hao increasingly felt that the guide he had hired on the side of the road was quite mysterious.
He began to be on guard against the old guide with messy hair.
“There’s someone ahead...” The old guide suddenly stopped walking.
Ding Hao also noticed that a strange figure appeared in the passageway ahead. The man stood quietly and blocked the way. In the purple Immortal Qi, the man’s aura seemed to have merged into the void. He was partly hidden and partly visible as if he were a phantom. If Ding Hao’s Divine Senses hadn’t been subtle and powerful, he would not have discovered him.
“Who’s in the front?” asked “Sky Flipping Rat” Qu Feng from a distance.
The man did not respond.
“Be careful!” Ding Hao warned Qu Feng.
Before his voice died away, a gust of strong wind had silently penetrated the purple Immortal Qi and had shot toward Qu Feng. It contained a horrible tearing force and was as fast as lightning. It was in front of Qu Feng’s forehead in an instant.
Qu Feng was stunned. He didn’t have the time to react at all.
Ding Hao flicked his finger, and a streak of sword radiance burst out, directly breaking the strong wind.
Judging from Qu Feng’s reaction just now, he was not pretending. His strength was indeed not high.
“Is he really an ordinary person?” With this in mind, Ding Hao took a step forward. Endless purple Immortal Qi separated to both sides. Releasing his momentum, he said loudly, “My friend, it’s too immoral to launch a sneak attack in the dark.”
“Well, I didn’t expect to encounter a highly skillful master. Hahaha, I wonder how you taste...” A burst of hoarse and vicious laughter came from the opposite side. Then the figure flashed, and a light cyan palm with irresistible power directly grabbed at Ding Hao’s throat.
Ding Hao snorted. He put his middle finger and index finger together and slowly pointed them out.
Sharp sword radiance burst out from his fingertips in an instant, and there were faint roars of dragons and tigers in the entire passageway.
“Oh?” The man exclaimed. Obviously, he didn’t expect that his opponent’s strength was so powerful. He immediately withdrew his hand and didn’t counterattack head-on. He flashed like a ghost and appeared next to Ding Hao. Then his hand was coming at Ding Hao’s ribs.
But Ding Hao’s reaction speed was not slow at all.
When the man was about to grab Ding Hao’s ribs, the sword radiance magically appeared again at Ding Hao’s fingertips and stabbed toward the center of the man’s palm.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In the sound of clothes tearing through the air, the man who secretly attacked Ding Hao used hundreds of ways of palm strike. Each of his moves was aimed at Ding Hao’s vital parts. They were as fast as flowing light and lightning, containing cold and destructive power.
