This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

However…

Just as she burst forth.

A layer of golden light emerged from Xu Yang’s body.

It was the “Diamond Talisman” Xu Yang carried with him, which was triggered by the stimulation of Yin energy!

“Daoist Sect’s Diamond Talisman?”

The red-dressed female ghost showed her ferocity and sneered, “A mere Diamond Talisman can’t bother me!”

She suddenly materialized, crouching behind Xu Yang. Her Yin-energy-congealed body was burned by the golden light blooming from the “Diamond Talisman.” She raised her hands high, her fingernails grew to be half a foot long, like sharp swords, stabbing towards Xu Yang’s temples.

Whoosh…

The protective golden light formed by the Diamond Talisman was instantly pierced through by the ghost’s sharp claws.

However, the female ghost was stunned.

Because when the first layer of protective golden light was broken, a second layer of protective golden light emerged from Xu Yang’s body.

Diamond Talisman, eh…

Quite simple.

In these days, Xu Yang practiced making talismans for more than ten hours a day, and had already mastered the Diamond Talisman, Movement Talisman, and Divine Strength Talisman, with a 100% success rate of creating talismans!

He carried at least dozens of Diamond Talismans on him.

“Finally showing yourself?”

Upon seeing the female ghost materialize, Xu Yang immediately tossed the ink cup in his hand, quickly took out two divine strength talismans, and patted them on himself. He felt a surge of immense strength, instantly becoming as strong as being able to kill a cow with one punch!

With a backhand, he grasped at his shoulder and caught the female ghost’s hair.

Then…

With the full power of the eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm and the blessing of the divine strength talisman, he fiercely yanked!

The female ghost who was crouching on Xu Yang’s back was ripped off and thrown to the ground.

The female ghost’s face was full of horror.

She was a red-dressed ghost and considered a big shot in the Ghost Market. Over the years, she had followed martial world people who had violated the taboo of the Ghost Market back to the human world, taking a total of nine lives…

But she never thought she would fall into the hands of a “fool” today!

No!

This Daoist priest was not weak; moreover, he had countless Daoist talismans on him. In combination, even she had been momentarily suppressed. With such strength, how could he possibly be a fool?

“Pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger!”

This phrase flashed through the female ghost’s mind.

Just as she was momentarily distracted, Xu Yang had already turned over and mounted her, taking the opportunity to brush open the scattered black hair of the female ghost… He thought that this female ghost might have a beautiful and lovely face like Liu Shishi underneath her scattered black hair.

However, upon seeing her, Xu Yang was frightened!

The female ghost’s face was pale, as if it had been scraped with a putty knife.

Her mouth was crooked, and her two eyes were even more bloodshot and swollen, overall making her facial features look extremely ugly!

“Ah!”

“Ghost!!!”

Xu Yang, startled, instinctively punched the female ghost’s face!

Bang!

The female ghost’s head was smashed flat.

“Ahhhhhh!!!”

“Daoist!”

“You dare to hit my face?”

The red-dressed female ghost roared, blood starting to seep from the tips of her hair and her body. Opening her mouth in a sudden, a blood beam sprayed towards Xu Yang’s face.

Bang, bang, bang!!!

Three Diamond Talismans on Xu Yang’s body exploded in succession, and the charm’s light blocked the blow.

Moreover, even more intense golden light radiated from his body.

The Golden Light Mantra!

That golden light was like sunlight, shining on the female ghost’s body, causing her to let out a mournful scream. Under the suppression of the Golden Light Mantra, the ghost was temporarily unable to transform into Yin energy.

As for Xu Yang, he flipped his hand again.

This time, an iron hammer appeared in his hand.

He slammed the hammer down and angrily cursed, “Damn it, you’re so ugly, yet you dare to leave your coffin and try to scare me, the Daoist Master?”

Bang!

The female ghost’s head was flattened again.

Then, briefly, it recovered.

Xu Yang raised his hand and hammered down once more.

Bang!

Bang!

As the hammer swung, continuous system prompt sounds echoed in his mind. The more Xu Yang hammered, the more enraged he became, laughing loudly, “You damn thing, that’s what you get for scaring people!”

Bang!

Another blow, and this time the female ghost was smashed into pieces.

She took advantage of this, turned into a wisp of Yin energy, and escaped from under Xu Yang… However, the room was full of Daoist talismans, making it impossible for her to escape. All she could do was stand to one side, her eyes wide with horror as she stared at Xu Yang and yelled, “I get it now…”

“Iron Hammer Daoist!”

“It’s you!”

“You’re that psychologically twisted Hammer Daoist!”

Upon hearing this nickname, Xu Yang immediately became furious. Wielding his hammer, he swung at the female ghost, who evaded and began to flee around the room.

However, Xu Yang’s room was a small single room with limited space. Where could she escape to?

For a moment, the female ghost ran while Xu Yang chased her with the hammer, skirmishing around the small room.

“Ding!”

“The female ghost is frightened, merit points +50.”

“Ding!”

“The female ghost is frightened, merit points +50.”

“Ding…”

“Huh?”

Xu Yang suddenly realized.

This kind of “chasing battle” increased the frequency of her merit point contributions even more than before.

In order to gain more merit points, he slowed down slightly, brandishing the hammer, and sneered–

“Haha!”

“Little darling, you can’t escape!”

“You run, you run faster…”

“If Daoist Master catches you, I’ll hehehehe…”

As he spoke, he raised his hand–

Whoosh!

A flash of lightning shot from his fingertips.

The lightning brushed the female ghost’s hair just before detonating on the bathroom door, leaving it in shambles!

“Rules of Thunder?”

The female ghost cried in horror, “Ah… save me!”

Just then…

“Boom!”

Out of the blue, the sound of drums and gongs echoed, followed by the blare of suonas.

Inside the room, the Daoist talismans on the walls and windows began to vibrate.

A celebratory, lively tune drifted into Xu Yang’s ears from outside the window.

“This is…”

“Receiving the bride?”

Xu Yang stopped and hesitated briefly.

He was very familiar with the sound coming from outside the window, the music played by suonas, often heard in ancient costume dramas during “bridegroom” scenes. Coupled with the sound of drums and gongs, it seemed quite festive and lively.

In today’s society, many newlyweds liked imitating the old-fashioned wedding, carrying the bride in a palanquin.

But…

It was already past three in the morning. Whose family would actually receive a bride at this hour???

When Xu Yang hesitated, the red-clothed female ghost started to burst into laughter.

“They’re here!”

“That crazy woman is here!”

It was as if she, a dying person, had caught hold of a lifesaving straw, her eyes shining with a strong will to live. She shouted, “You dare to break the taboo of the Ghost Market? Who in the northwest martial world doesn’t know that the gold ingots under Ghost Gate cannot be picked up?”

“You picked up that crazy woman’s gold ingot, and now she’s come to marry you!”

Xu Yang:”???”

Outside the window,

The music grew louder, and with that, the Daoist talismans on the walls exploded one by one. Xu Yang quickly gathered several Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talismans left behind by his grandfather, and before he could turn around, he noticed that the red-clothed female ghost had already escaped through the wall.

“It’s over…”

Xu Yang thought, “This is bad.”

His reputation as “Hammer Daoist” and “psychological pervert” had already reached the Ghost Market. If that dog thing were to return and embellish the story even more,wouldn’t his reputation be set in stone?

However, it wasn’t the time to hunt the red-clothed female ghost.

Xu Yang rushed to the window and looked down, only to see a magnificent wedding procession in the street below, eventually stopping right beneath his room.

Suddenly, two individuals from the front of the procession leapt into the air and paused outside Xu Yang’s window.

“They can fly?”

“Martial arts Heavenly Being? Divine Transcendence Realm?”

Xu Yang was startled, though he let out a sigh of relief when he saw their faces clearly.

These two were not human at all.

They resembled “paper cutouts,” looking lifelike from the front but as thin as paper when viewed from the side.

The faces of the paper people were rosy, as if stamped with a red circle.

They bowed to Xu Yang and saluted.

Then, in a loud voice, they said, “The auspicious time has arrived. Please, Master, board the bridal sedan!”
