Originally, Yang Guanshi's words were not clear or distinct.
And the second sentence made me fully understand.
Fearfully, since I left the office, Yang Guanshi has been monitoring my every move.
The elevator initially stopping on the high floor is likely not his doing.
I received a phone call.
Even though I didn't say anything, he directly suspected the content of the phone call.
After that, I saw the blank A4 paper, and without showing any resentment, it completely set off Yang Guanshi's nerves.
The elevator has only been stopped on the 15th floor.
His plan was ruined, so he naturally would not let me go out.
With a sweep of his hands from his waist, he produced a gong and a wooden mallet.
In that moment, everyone in the lobby stood up.
A quick glance revealed at least twenty.
Some carried weeping staffs diagonally, others held thick bamboo poles tightly, and some were holding broken swords with dented surfaces and brightly polished blade edges.
The sound of snap, snap, snap didn't stop, it was paper people falling on the ground.
In an instant, I recognized the Ghost wife, paper maker, executioner and coffin carrier...
There were also some who stood still without moving, they must be the rest of the lowly professions.
I noticed that there were two people who seemed very scared, they were wearing short cotton jackets and their legs were wrapped in white cloth.
These two should be fourth-level bian's night watchman.
The gong of the night watchman can awe ghosts, but it can also scare people's souls.
If the gong is sounded in a way to scare people's souls, it will regard no friends or enemies, and everyone except the one ringing the bell will be injured.
"His ghosts have already been let out, breaking the murderous prison was a stroke of luck. Catch him, but don't kill him!" command Yang Guanshi.
A dozen or so people surged forward!
The paper people don't stop trembling, the yin energy surrounds them rapidly!
I raised my hand suddenly and the wooden mallet struck the gong face hard!
The shrill sound of the gong echoed, and I roared, "At the first watch, people fall into a state of non-return, the three souls are dim and the seven spirits come to a halt!"
My throat hurts with a slight cracking sound.
My grip was almost lost due to the intense pain in my hand.
For a moment, the dozen or so people stiffened in place.
I suddenly charged forward, aiming straight for Yang Guanshi, who was standing motionless with his eyes glazed over!
The elevator won't come down.
The stairs won't lead out.
Capturing a thief, capture the king first!
Fourth-level bian stands out among the nine arts, and can be considered unique and dominant, because it can injure both people and ghosts in a broad area.
Barber gives haircuts to the living, causing them to see ghosts and have bad luck.
Paper maker attracts ghosts, funerary personnel controls the dead, all of them are directly oppressing people, making them unable to resist.
The night watchman's gong can harm people's souls imperceptibly!
It can also suppress the other practitioners!
In a flash, I passed through the lobby half of the way, and those who were dazed just barely regained their senses.
They are about to rush towards me again!
I abruptly raised the wooden mallet and struck the gong fiercely for the second time!
"The second watch of dusk has arrived! One should not roam the streets at night!"
The shrill sound of the gong and the piercing voice echoed in the hall non-stop!
The many people of the town deity were once again motionless in place, their foreheads knitted with pain, obviously unable to bear it.
My breathing became heavier, my throat was full of bloodstain smell, and I also felt a splitting headache.
Injuring too many people would cause a backlash.
However, in a moment, I was already approaching Yang Guanshi!
But at this moment, two clanging sounds of the gong echoed fiercely!
"The third watch of the night has arrived, and a hundred souls are startled!"
This was not the spell I called out.
In an instant, I only felt like my head was hit by a sledgehammer and became instantly blank.
The remaining nine streams of people stood still, almost unable to move an inch.
Even some were bleeding from their nostrils and mouths.
I was also bleeding from my nose and mouth, with a particularly strong smell.
The two night watchmen who were previously afraid of me, quickly rushed towards me!
Both men raised their arms almost simultaneously, with the gleaming wooden mallets aimed at my chest!
The night watchman's own human soul is more resilient than those of the other nine streams.
Therefore, they can wake up more quickly under the gong of the night watchman.
My body feels clumsy, and my consciousness is unstable in waves, feeling as if it is going to break out of my body.
It's not that I am weaker than any one of them, but that they both attacked at the same time, and the combined force is too much for me to bear...
In the moment before they were about to hit me, I came to my senses and made a violent backward leap.
Both of them stopped at the place where I was just a moment ago, and their arms swung out, with copper glinting and the sharp sound of air being cut.
Their eyes towards me were equally fierce, and then they charged towards me fiercely!
I raised the wooden mallet again and struck the gong hard.
Before I could chant the spell, suddenly, one of them threw the mallet towards me.
I had intended to dodge, but it was already too late!
The shrill sound of the gong rang out again, but this time it was out of tune.
My gong was hit with such force that it was pierced through, and the mallet continued to hit my ribs.
I spat out a large mouthful of blood.
I was about to retreat again, but the hall was only so big, and I had already backed up to the edge of the elevator.
The two night watchmen rushed to my face in an instant.
One of them swung the wooden mallet towards my chest.
The other one lifted his knee and hit my lower body!
Both of their methods were exceptionally cunning and cruel!
I shook my arms and grabbed the barber's knife, and then my arm snapped again, making the two of them look terrified and retreat.
They didn't hit me, retreating about ten steps before finally stopping.
There was a blood line on each of their necks.
If they were to be a bit slower, they would have been killed by having their throats cut.
The people of the town deity dare not kill me.
They must be using me to complete their other goals!
They treat me like fish on a chopping board, how can I possibly hold back!
The two were extremely wary, their eyes filled with uncertainty.
However, they did not use the gong and mallet again.
Previously, their third watch gong also hurt the people of the town deity, and now those people were just beginning to come to their senses.
Everyone's gaze at me was like they wanted to swallow me whole.
"Yang Guanshi only said that he couldn't kill him, but he didn't say he couldn't be disabled!"
"Cut off his four limbs!" A man wearing a hat and covering his mouth with a mask roared loudly.
Behind, Yang Guanshi also recovered his strength. Blood was streaming from his nose and ears, and he glared at me fiercely without interfering.
My breathing is particularly heavy, and I am pressed against the wall.
Twenty or so people swarmed towards me in a frenzy, with overwhelming pressure to an extreme degree.
Among them, there were also several people staggering, their faces pale and eyes jaundiced, with a lingering sense of resentment.
Even though I know many nine arts, I am still no match for these people in a fight of pure physical strength.
I quickly took out something.
It was a thin jade plate!
It was a thin jade plate, with a gray body, and the shape was that of two connected demons. This was the self-defense object that Huang Shu gave me.
It was originally supposed to be used against the unholy ghosts who find me, or the people who disturb the town deity.
I never expected that the town deity would impose an impending disaster on my head!
It's obviously better to use the town deity and the night watchman, rather than relying on the last lifesaving trick given by Lao Qin.
And it can also make the town deity wary!
Indeed, those people all stopped in their tracks and stared at my hand in amazement.
"Stop him!" Yang Guanshi roared angrily: "Using the relationship of our town deity and obtaining the protection of the city deity's temple, it's a despicable treachery!"
I exerted a fierce grip.
However, just at this crucial moment, a sharp pain pierced through my wrist!
The pain made me emit a wail of agony.
The jade plate flew out of my hand and landed on the ground without shattering.
Bowing my head, I stared fixedly at my wrist. A steel needle had pierced through my wrist pulse, as if it had gone through bone, causing piercing pain!
A muffled voice came from the left.
"What a ruthless move, killing fellow practitioners without even blinking. Old woman is witnessing this."
On a sofa, an old lady swayed and stood up. Her wrinkled face staring at me, her demeanor was particularly evil.
