400 Earthbinding Spiri (2/2)
The two bodyguards leapt forward and used the most basic martial arts to pin the daoist on the ground. ”Jobson, I've got him!”
'I've been fighting against these lowly-skilled people for over 30 years and yet, I am caught by one of them today!'
The old daoist was helpless as the other bodyguard shouted and went to look for the switch to on the lights.
The thought of being sent to jail as a thief and a trespasser made the daoist even consider the option of death.
”Chila!”
At this point in time, the lights flooded the room before blowing out, throwing the entire room into darkness.
”What's happening!”
”It's a power trip!”
”Oh, sh*t!”
”Call the cops and look for torchlights!”
...
The entire hotel was in chaos. Very quickly, a few torchlights were shining, illuminating the room.
”Hmm? What's happening?”
In the other room, Little Night of the Plains shuddered. A hemp rope in her hands started to burn without reason, signalling that there was an incoming danger.
”Wuu! Wuuu!”
A white fox with bloodshot eyes appeared.
”Is someone intruding my array?”
Little Night squinted her eyes. ”If it isn't that daoist, who else could it be?!”
”Whoosh!”
In the darkness, there were a few sliver flashes.
”Wuu! Wuuuuu!”
The white fox exclaimed and its spiritual body was shaken.
”Who are you exactly?”
Little Night quickly retreated. In the corner of her eye, she could see a black silhouette approaching. There were cracking noises coming from the silhouette's body and as it struck a fist towards Little Night, there was a frightening roar of a lion and a tiger.
”A highly-skilled martial artist?”
She nimbly dodged the fist and struck her leg covered in poison silently.
”Bang!”
Unfortunately for her, the black silhouette was prepared. With its left palm, it sliced downwards.
”Kacha!”
The distinct sound of bone fracture was heard and Little Night turned pale and fell to the ground. ”Strength Opening?”
”Bang!”
With that, another fist slammed into her face and her nose started to bleed. She fainted in that instant.
”Buy one get one free! With an Aquilaria Maitreya, I have attracted a Yin Yang Master and another daoist. It's a good deal!”
Fang Yuan smiled and kept his silver needles. Rummaging through the leather box, he became irritated. ”There is indeed nothing good here. The only thing valuable might be the notebook which I can take some reference from!”
Without hesitation, he took the notebook and scrubbed the Pentagon Array with his shoe.
In the other room.
The Earthbinding Spirit started to lose its power and slowly disappeared.
The old daoist exclaimed and golden rays came out of his eyes. At that moment, the bodyguard felt that he was no longer pinning down a person, but a few bulls!
”Bang!”
With a humongous force, the bodyguard flew out. In a flash, the old daoist quickly escaped through the window and disappeared on the streets.
Of course, the chaos in the hotel was none of Fang Yuan's and his business.
”Alright... you've stalked me for quite a while. How about you show me who you are!”
The old daoist weaved in and out on the streets and finally entered a park before stopping by a brightly-lit lakeside.
”Who would've thought... that I would encounter another cultivator in the city. And that the cultivator had robbed a hotel! Hehe...”
Fang Yuan walked out of the shadows. His young looks shocked the daoist.
At this point in time, the daoist's appearance was also revealed under the moonlight.
He had handsome facial features, a tall nose and distinct eyebrows. With small lips and a black-framed glasses, he seemed scholarly.
No matter how Fang Yuan looked, the daoist could only remind him of the lecturer which taught political science in the university and looked nothing like a daoist.
”I am Guo Jing. Thank you for your assistance!”
Guo Jing gave an ancient greeting.
Of course, if not for his shattered glasses and his swollen nose, he would still resemble a highly-skilled cultivator.
”You're welcome! I am Fang Yuan...”
Fang Yuan waved his hands. ”The Aquilaria Maitreya in your hands was bought from my shop...”
”What?”
As soon as he heard Fang Yuan, Guo Jing's mouth was gaping. With an embarrassing smile, he continued. ”I see, I have been reckless. Sigh... Little Master, why did you sell this to the foreigner?”
Would Fang Yuan say that he had sold it to bait Guo Jing?
Fang Yuan rolled his eyes and sounded unjust. ”I don't have enough money!!”
It was a strong reason and there was no reason why Guo Jing should doubt him, making Guo Jing speechless.
