You Can Call Me Old Shen

"Li Shaojun, you've ruined me!"

Perhaps unable to bear the consequences of the Supreme Purity True Technique, or perhaps wanting to fight to the death and unleash all his abilities, Li Shaojun bravely 'died' once again.

Having exhausted all his methods, Li Shaojun also failed and handed everything over to Zhang Xuezhou.

Seeing Yao and the dark blue ghost staring at him at the same time, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

"You need a living body to take over; a dead one is useless to you," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Don't provoke me, or I'll stab myself in the back."

"Hey, are you kidding me? You're perfectly fine, why are you thinking about dying?"

Just as the dark-faced ghost was beginning to show signs of cooperation, Zhang Xuezhou's words immediately crushed his hopes.

If someone had ten holes punched in their body like Li Shaojun, even a god couldn't save them.

What he wanted was a fresh, intact body, not a sieve riddled with holes; otherwise, even if he took over the body, he still wouldn't be able to control its death.

"I don't believe you can stab yourself to death," Yao sneered after spitting out a bunch of black liquid. "No one can turn themselves into a sieve!"

"I can become a sieve just like my companions were sieves," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Don't even think about using your cultivation level to capture me alive after you've vomited. No way!"

"It'll be boring if we tell you all the methods for disarming someone!"

The dark blue ghost face shook its head, floating back and forth in the main hall, occasionally approaching Li Shaojun's head to look at the young man who had died without leaving a trace of life.

He sighed, clearly wanting to see how 'Yao' would solve the problems he was currently facing.

"Oh dear, I've come here to die!"

While watching the play, the dark-faced ghost saw Zhang Xuezhou look left and right, then grab a table and stride towards 'Yao'.

Twelve green bamboo swords hovered around the opponent, emitting purple light, while mechanical figures stood in front of him, but Zhang Xuezhou seemed unafraid.

Just barely dodging the mechanical man's grip, Zhang Xuezhou swiftly leaped up, lifting the table and smashing it down on 'Yao'.

"How dare you insult me, you brat!"

When twelve green bamboo swords flew towards Zhang Xuezhou, Zhang Xuezhou not only did not dodge, but instead charged straight at the swords.

This forced 'Yao' to manipulate the mechanical puppet to forcibly retrieve the Green Bamboo Sword.

He had originally intended to scare Zhang Xuezhou, but unexpectedly, the other party took the initiative to meet his sword.

Previously, it was a choice between two options, with the one who was afraid of death being the one to stay. However, he encountered two young men who were not afraid of death, making it difficult for him to control a living human body for the cooperation of the dark-faced man, let alone use the dark-faced man to attract the attention of Hongjun or other observers.

Come on, kill me!

Zhang Xuezhou's incessant chatter made Yao both angry and indignant.

Controlling the force to subdue the opponent is obviously difficult. It doesn't depend on how much force 'Yao' uses, but rather on the fact that the opponent might use his attack to seek death.

It must be said that when there is no way out, the best response is for the other party to commit suicide.

'Yao's' possession of Gongsun Hong's body was severely poisoned, and his physical resistance was almost zero. He even sprained his leg when Zhang Xuezhou hit him with a table.

"You have completely enraged me. Only by turning you into mincemeat can I quell the hatred in my heart," Yao said through gritted teeth.

"Did you hear that? This guy wasn't sincere at all when it came to cooperation!" Zhang Xuezhou shouted. "He beat me into mincemeat, where's he going to get the flesh to feed the others!"

"How could my Celestial Craftsmen be limited to a human body? As long as this gentleman can accept the wooden body, I can create the strongest mechanical body for him in the future," Yao said angrily.

"And then be controlled by you for the rest of my life?"

Zhang Xuezhou replied, but the dark-faced man remained silent.

He escaped thanks to favorable timing, location, and people, but his survival depended on careful planning.

The best physical body is undoubtedly Gongsun Hong. Although he is older, his cultivation is still quite respectable, and when he absorbs the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, he can almost completely replace him.

A physical body isn't something you can just find whenever you want, nor can you use just anyone.

The dark blue-faced demon sensed the Law Seals on his face and inadvertently glanced at Gongsun Hong's body.

For him, Gongsun Hong still held enough appeal; it was just that his collaborators were too incompetent to give him the right opportunities.

Of course, the other party might not necessarily do as he asks, after all, Gongsun Hong is one of these people's companions.

Yao wanted to use him as bait, and for him to get Zhang Xuezhou and the others to obey, he also needed the other party to be able to control Yao. As for Zhang Xuezhou, he played a very interesting hand of random cards.

The dark-faced ghost's thoughts raced. He glanced at the halo of purple qi and realized that achieving his goal was far too difficult.

This made him look at the wooden figure.

"Your words put me in a difficult position," said the dark-faced ghost. "While I'm willing to cooperate with you, you should at least show some sincerity!"

"What sincerity?" Yao asked.

"If you want to create a wooden dummy for me, you'd better let me know that such a thing is possible," the dark-faced ghost said. "Otherwise, I won't give up fighting you for a physical body!"

"This is not difficult for our skilled craftsmen," Yao said. "If you are willing, you can take over this wooden body right now."

"Of course I'm willing to try; it's better than having no body at all," said the dark blue-faced demon.

"Just crawl into this wooden dummy, and I'll slowly withdraw. After that, you'll have a free body!"

"Yao!" the dark blue-faced demon replied without hesitation, and with a whoosh, it burrowed into the wooden figure's head.

"Hey!"

Yao gave a low rebuke, his hands forming a rather strange hand seal, and the wooden figure immediately froze in shock.

This made Zhang Xuezhou glance at it, and then he picked up the table and smashed it over.

"You little brat, you're dead!"

Yao hadn't dared to kill Zhang Xuezhou before, but since the dark-faced ghost could accept the wooden body, he didn't hesitate to attack Zhang Xuezhou at all.

However, the mechanical wooden figure he was controlling lost control after being given the black and blue ghost face, and he didn't have any other good means to use it for the time being.

After rolling on the ground to avoid the blows, he could only yell twice to vent his anger, and then he couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of filth.

"Once this friend finishes controlling your body, I'll definitely stuff your mouth full of this filth and force-feed you a bellyful of poison!"

The incessantly chattering 'Yao' tumbled about in a sorry state.

Previously, it was Zhang Xuezhou and others who had difficulty hiding; now it is he who is exhausted.

With Gongsun Hong in such a critical condition, he couldn't use any of his abilities, not even controlling himself with the pressure of his cultivation level.

After rolling around in the main hall countless times, Yao breathed a sigh of relief when the dark-faced ghost was finally able to barely control the mechanical wooden figure's body.

The barely manageable control is sufficient for the moment, since someone like Zhang Xuezhou is far too inept at striking and has no chance against the wooden dummy.

"Brother, come help me quickly!" Yao cried out.

"Can!"

The wooden figure emitted a mechanical and strange sound, then drew two green bamboo swords from its body and swayed as it approached Zhang Xuezhou.

May I ask your surname, sir?

"My surname is Shen, you can call me Old Shen!"

"Old... Shen... you..."

Yao was extremely confident in his new ally. After rolling around and getting behind the wooden dummy, just as his heart settled down, he saw the wooden dummy controlled by the dark blue ghost face thrust down with two green bamboo swords.

One sword pierced his left leg, and another pierced his right foot, pinning his body directly to the main hall.

"My ally is right. Compared to being controlled by you for life, eliminating future threats is more important now!"

He pulled out two more green bamboo swords from his body, and while 'Yao' was still in excruciating pain, the wooden figure nailed them into his left and right hands.

He murmured softly, clearly unwilling to have his life and death controlled by others as he accepted his wooden body.

The four green bamboo swords fell, and 'Yao,' which was invading Gongsun Hong's body, had almost no power to resist. It could only struggle in pain, trapped in this flesh.
