Kill, Don't Save

"Heh heh, that's exactly what we've been waiting for, you bunch of old Daoist priests! Now that you're here, none of you are getting away today!"

From inside the stilted house, another terrifyingly oppressive voice emanated, "Dare to disrupt Grandma's wedding today? Then leave them all here! Even your Daoist patriarch can't save you!"

Immediately afterwards, a gaunt figure wearing a tattered and faded bright red wedding dress rushed out of the stilted building and charged straight at Ma Jin and his companions. Her wide robes hung loosely, making her figure appear as withered as a dried-out branch.

The dry, wrinkled skin clung tightly to the bones, the cheeks were sunken, and the skin was a dull grayish-brown, covered with wrinkles of varying depths, like tree bark that had been exposed to the sun for many years. The rouge that had been applied was now mottled and clumpy, starkly imprinted on the withered face.

"It's so ugly..."

Callis looked at the Tree Demon Granny with disdain, having absolutely no desire to fight her. "Blaise, it's up to you! Go for it!"

As she spoke, the silk threads in her hands quickly wrapped around Blaise's body, and she even considerately tucked down his Kurama Cloak. "Hey, hey, no, you don't mind if you don't like it?"

Helpless, the manipulated Blaise had already punched in front of the Tree Demon Granny, the terrifying shockwave spreading outwards. Ma Jin and the others stared wide-eyed at this scene. Seriously, are Westerners really that physically strong? Daring to go head-to-head with a King-level monster?

Goyle and Crabbe also transformed and rushed into the monster, but their magical attacks clearly did little damage to it.

Theodore glanced at the few people on the battlefield, thought for a moment, then took out his wand and cast Patronus Charm, "Expecto Patronum!"

A dazzling silver-white albatross bursts forth from the tip of the staff, its gentle yet powerful waves of light sweeping in all directions.

Unfortunately, these strange entities mostly survive by relying on resentment, yin energy, and the evil energy of the earth's veins, rather than by feeding on "human happiness." Therefore, the damage caused by the Patronus Charm is minimal.

"Hehe, really?" Callis waved her hand, and two more puppets landed on the ground. She smiled at Blaise, "Darling, let them see our latest achievement!"

"No problem. Also, I like the way you are called, baby." Blaise bowed gracefully, then lit three incense sticks on his head, took Three-Step Chant, and pulled a mask from his pocket, putting it on.

In an instant, Blaise's clothes seemed to surge and transform around him like flowing water. His original clothes melted away layer by layer, and in his place was a plain white short robe with silver trim, embroidered with outstretched cranes and clouds, the patterns flowing with his body.

His long, black hair was tied up, with three sticks of incense burning in the center of his bun, the smoke rising slowly and lingering. His clothes were neatly tailored, falling to his knees, with a wide, crimson belt tightly around his waist and a scarlet trim on his cuffs. The contrast of black, white, and red created a striking contrast, and beneath his handsome appearance lay a hint of menace.

Beside him were two puppets. On the left General Zeng, wearing a dark blue battle robe with thick armor plates and dark cloud patterns on the bottom of the robe. His eyebrows and eyes were solemn, and the magic weapon in his palm hung quietly. On the right General Sun, wearing a crimson battle skirt with ferocious patterns on the hem and a murderous aura surrounding him.

Both had neatly styled hair and Guan Jiang Shou orthodox military robes, one in blue and one in red, standing silently on either side of the White Crane Youth.

Blaise, in his White Crane Youth form, slowly raised his eyes. His originally peaceful pupils suddenly narrowed, turning into two long, vertical pupils, and a chill emanated from the depths of his eyes.

His gaze was fixed on the Tree Demon Granny.

The moment that gaze fell upon her, the Tree Demon Granny's demonic power froze, her movements abruptly halting. A chilling aura, originating from the patrolling deities, surged within her, causing even her branches to tremble uncontrollably.

"This is... the Guan Jiang Shou?"

Ma Jin stared blankly at Blaise in front of him. How did this foreigner start using Daoist magic? The way he was making it was outrageous, and his Three-Step Chant to the music was actually quite convincing. It was getting his blood pumping.

"No... where did this music come from???"

Everyone turned around and saw Kurama fiddling with a large speaker. When she saw everyone looking at her, she smiled sheepishly and quickly turned it off.

"Um, you guys continue... continue... don't worry about me..."

"Hehe, this feels amazing!"

Blaise felt an explosive power coursing through his body, and even found the Tree Demon Granny somewhat adorable.

"Hehe, the community is here to bring warmth! Don't run away!" Callis raised her arm and slowly drew an arc, lightly touching the ground with her toes to move sideways. Her body followed with a gentle rotation, her long sleeves spreading out in the air. With the turning movement, they gently brushed past her side. She bent her knees and lowered her body, then straightened her back and raised her sleeves. Light and shadow played on her swaying clothes, her figure undulating gracefully.

Don't underestimate this dancer. If the Tree Demon Granny really thinks Callis is an easy target, then if she hits her, who knows what will possess her later.

"Now you're scared? Heh, if I can't kill you in three incense sticks' time, I'm a complete idiot!"

Blaise snatched the trident from General Zeng's hand and flicked his wrist upwards.

The heavy iron fork tumbled several times in mid-air, and he smoothly gripped the handle with one hand, lifting it steadily. His arm stretched into a sharp line, and in the next instant, he exerted force and hurled it forward. The iron fork flashed with lightning, whistling through the air, and shot straight toward the Tree Demon Granny in front of him.

"No..."

The Tree Demon Granny didn't even have time to turn around; she hastily spun around to try and avoid it, but her movements were a beat too slow.

The iron fork hurtled through her body with a whooshing sound, the immense impact sending her crashing backward and pinning her firmly to the stone wall. Her branch-like body struggled in vain, but could no longer break free.

Witnessing this scene, the ghost groom trembled, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to his knees, daring not to make the slightest move.

"I'm so sorry, everyone... Grandma was just drunk... We were wrong..."

Good heavens! Why didn't you say so earlier if you had the means? It's just a banquet, if you'd told me sooner I'd be begging you to serve the food... Did it really have to turn into this mess?

The ghost groom lay prostrate on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably, his head pressed tightly against the ground, his voice trembling as he pleaded desperately.

His eyes darted in terror toward Blaise, who was dressed as the White Crane Youth, standing in front of him. He kept kowtowing and begging repeatedly to be spared his life.

"Ha, now you know to beg for mercy? Too late! I'll only kill Budu!"

Suddenly, a dazzling golden divine light erupted from Blaise's body. Waves of light flowed and surged along the folds of his clothes. The smoke from three sticks of incense intertwined with the golden light and rose up. A vast radiance shot into the sky from his body, transforming into a dazzling blade of light that slashed down from the air.

A golden light Cleansweep across, and the Tree Demon Granny, who was pinned to the stone wall by the iron fork, along with the kneeling, trembling ghost groom, had no way to dodge.

The mournful cries vanished in an instant, and their bodies crumbled inch by inch in the dazzling divine light, completely turning into scattered black smoke that disappeared without a trace.

"Ma Jin, was his technique a little off when he threw the fork? Was he just learning?"

A Daoist priest standing next to Ma Jin stared dumbfounded at the scene before him. After thinking for a long time, he finally managed to utter this sentence.

"No, my special effects are already super bright, why would I care how powerful it is?"

Blaise was immediately displeased upon hearing this. "I relied on special effects, okay? Just tell me if you're handsome or not!"
