Chapter 63 Unscrupulous Dao Practitioner (2/2)
In the distance, the five important figures once again acted together as they used the mighty weapons within their hands to strike, managing to destroy another corner of the demonic emperor’s tomb as multicoloured sunlight shot forth in all directions again, even more spiritual weapons had rushed out. Although the five great experts were mighty and peerless, they could not stop all the multicoloured lights that were shooting to the sky and many of the weapons managed to escape their grasp. The surrounding cultivators had expressions of glee as they rode on mystical rainbows, flying in all directions as they followed the multicoloured lights.
Ye Fan was moodily sitting atop the stone mountain as he watched the multicoloured lights shoot in all directions once again. He was helpless as he muttered: “That damned fatty, really unscrupulous and evil. I curse him to have his stuff snatched and not even his personal bag will be left behind for him!”
“Chi!”
In the distant sky, a purple coloured light rushed over, like a falling star it hastily impaled itself into the cliff face before him. Ye Fan’s eyes were wide in disbelief, there was actually a third spiritual weapon that deposited itself here. This was certainly very strange.
“This place……” He could sense that there was something special about this stone cliff face and there must certainly be something extraordinary here. There could not be such a miraculous coincidence that two to three spiritual weapons all embedded themselves into the same cliff face.
This time, Ye Fan did not act rashly but rather chose to wait for a very long period of time. He saw that no other person passed by the area and slowly made his way over as he mumbled: “That damned fatty won’t appear this time right……”
He carefully dug into the cliff face again, immediately streaks of intoxicating purple light shot forth, shining on his hand and making it seem sparkling and translucent. The purple qi pervaded the air and made one feel extremely comfortable, it was actually a purple thumb ring, streaks of purple light could be seen like numerous brightly coloured strips, one look and immediately one would fall in love with it.
“That damned endlessly greedy fatty, snatching my two precious treasures otherwise I would already have collected three of them.” Ye Fan was still indignant as he said: “This time I finally managed to avoid his notice.”
“Humble Daoist is here!” Ye Fan had barely finished muttering to himself when a fat figure appeared once again, his face was filled with a mirthful expression and wrinkles could be seen on his forehead. His mouth was currently in a wide green as even his molars could be seen as he loudly laughed: “I really do have some affinity with you young friend.”
“My *(#&*(#&*!……” Ye Fan’s face was red, he had never imagined that this fat cultivator would be as sticky as a dogskin plaster* that stuck to him as he angrily said: “Only a ghost would have affinity with you!”

“You and I really fated to meet.” The fat cultivators face was calm and had a honourable expression as he seemed to count his fingers: “Look, in such a short period of time, we have already met thrice. How can you say that we don’t have any affinity. This is heaven’s will!”
“Heaven’s will your grandfather!” Ye Fan stood up on both legs and really wanted to stomp on his fat buttocks but after considering the difference in his strength, he finally managed to swallow his anger as he walked to the side rushing away as he shouted: “Spiritual weapon……”
He used all his strength to throw the thumb ring away, even if he let others steal it, he did not want this endlessly greedy cultivator to obtain it. Otherwise, he would be angry to the point of spitting out blood, a purple glow streaked through the sky.
The reaction speed of the fat cultivator was in complete contrast to his build and with a “Woosh” he had already rushed forth and the purple thumb ring had flown for barely hundred metres before it had already been caught. Thereafter he laughed happily as he landed and said: “Heaven’s will! This is definitely heaven’s will!”
Ye Fan really felt that he might spit out blood at any moment, this fatso was really to despicable and thick-skinned, purposefully antagonising people.
“Daoist priest, don’t you think you’re going too far?” Veins could be seen bulging on Ye Fan’s forehead as he continued: “Monks should have some strength of character, as humans we shouldn’t be too greedy.”
“This humble Daoist has always been self-disciplined, worldly objects seldom move my heart. Constantly brushing away all desires, my heart is still like the divine moon which shines down on us.”
”Seeing his spirited expression, Ye Fan’s face was dark as he said: “Since you are so self-disciplined, return that item to me!”
“A monk embraces mercy. Because you and I have fate, humble Daoist will not fear exhaustion and help you to avert three disasters, tackling this difficult task and using my own mortal flesh to subdue these three great demons.” The fat cultivator had a merciful expression on his face, seemingly very honest and straightforward as he read line after line of scriptures as though he were an accomplished monk.
“You damned exuberant….. I denounce you!” Ye Fan grit his teeth as he said: “Daoist priest what’s your name?”
“Knowing my name is for free, surnamed Duan named De, my name is Duan De.
“No wonder you’re so lacking in morals, Duan De, broken morals*, clearly you’ve broken all your moral integrity!”
[T/N* Author does a play on words, 段德 is his name while 断德 means broken morals. Both words sound the same when read.]
