Dark streets.
A black sedan sped towards the high-speed rail station.
In the back seat of the car, a young Taoist priest wearing a wide Taoist robe was scrolling through his phone: "The destination has changed, I'll send it to you again."
"I don't know how to use navigation, so you give me directions."
The young Taoist priest said discontentedly, "Hey, they say an old horse knows the way, what's wrong with you?"
"So you're calling me Old Ma? Am I a horse? Yesterday you called me a turtle, and today you're calling me a horse, huh?"
A furious voice rang out, and in the driver's seat was a turtle-like creature, but its tail was a snake.
"Really?" The young Taoist priest picked at his ear. "Then you leveled up today and turned into a horse."
"Zhang Qingguan, I truly regret coexisting with you, you little bastard."
The young Taoist priest said calmly, "It's your honor, isn't it? If it weren't for me, you would have drowned long ago."
"Damn it, who pushed me into the water? It was you, you little Taoist priest!"
"Hey, turn left ahead, no, it seems like it's a right turn."
The turtle-like creature jerked the steering wheel repeatedly, angrily asking, "Should I turn left or right?"
"let me see."
"Go to hell, let whoever wants to drive this piece of junk drive it, I can't drive it anymore."
The turtle-like creature braked abruptly, irritably pushed open the car door, and got out.
"Don't be so impatient. This is my first time traveling so far from home, and this new urban area has only just been planned..."
Zhang Qingguan, carrying a satchel, got off the bus, checked his phone, and said, "Alright, it's not far now. There's no one around at night, I can just run there."
The turtle-like creature gave him a cold look but did not answer.
"This time it'll be a 50/50 split." Zhang Qingguan held up five fingers.
"Let's agree on who gets 50%... wait, you told me last time I'd get 60%, did you lie to me again?"
"What exactly did I say last time?"
"You said you'd give me 60% next time."
Zhang Qingguan draped his arm over his tortoise shell: "Look, what's the difference between 60% next time and 50% this time?"
The turtle was taken aback for a moment, and was about to answer when he continued, "This time you take 50%, next time you take 60%, that's 110% in total, you've made a huge profit."
"Really?" The turtle-like creature scratched its head with its snake tail, as if it made some sense.
"Hurry up, or you won't get any. There are three of those same kind of security in the new district." Zhang Qingguan held up three fingers: "If you're any later, you won't get anything at all."
"Come up."
The turtles no longer hesitated and lay down on the ground.
Zhang Qingguan smiled slightly and lay down directly on the tortoise shell.
The turtle-like creature sprang up, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the night.
"Damn it, slow down! Aren't turtles supposed to be slow?"
"I jumped."
"You're seeking revenge!"
The turtles darted through the streets like lightning, covering miles in the blink of an eye.
In the darkness, the three-story building in the distance was faintly visible.
The turtle-like creature suddenly stopped, and Zhang Qingguan had no time to react. He was thrown out and crashed heavily to the ground, sliding two meters away.
"You old bastard, I'm angry!"
Zhang Qingguan got up from the ground, covered in dust and looking disheveled.
The turtle-like creature did not respond, but slowly crawled up to him.
"Um?"
Zhang Qingguan frowned, quickly opened his satchel, and took out a compass.
The pointer spun wildly, as if it were broken, spinning incessantly.
"Interesting. The newly developed urban area of Taiping is already teeming with strange things?"
Zhang Qingguan put away the compass, turned around and sat on the tortoise shell: "Let's go, let's deal with the police station's problem first."
The turtle-like creature remained motionless, its two heads still fixed on the distance.
"Hey, you old bastard, what's wrong with you? Not hungry again?" Zhang Qingguan frowned and poked his head. "Let's go."
"Are you blind?" The turtle-like creature flicked its tail, and the snake's head lashed out at him. "Look ahead, a hundred meters away."
"It's the middle of the night, do you think I have your eyesight?" Zhang Qingguan said irritably. "Go get to work, you're not even going to take the free food?"
The turtle-like creature said, "This is a bit tricky. I didn't sense its presence until it came here."
"You old bastard, you're such a coward. Go get possessed, and watch out for this Taoist priest."
Zhang Qingguan flicked his long sleeves and swaggered towards the black-clad figure in the distance.
The turtle-like creature hesitated for a moment, then transformed into a stream of light and entered Zhang Qingguan's body.
A hundred meters is but a blink of an eye.
Gu Bai was standing by the roadside, a wisp of blue light appearing at his fingertips, tracking the eerie sound of the zither.
The eerie aura of the shadow has been erased; this is the only place we can look for now.
Footsteps approached, and a figure swaggered in, carrying the aura of a similar being.
Symbiotic?
Taoist priest?
He didn't seem to have any air of otherworldly wisdom; instead, he had a roguish air about him, and he was also a young Taoist priest.
However, since they're essentially the same thing, it's easy to just change the skin.
"Encountering a ghost on the street in the middle of the night is a first for me."
The young Taoist chuckled softly, his wide sleeves gleaming with a faint golden light: "Meeting a Taoist master means your fate is sealed."
"Wudang, Zhang Qingguan?" Gu Bai asked subconsciously.
"Ha, you've heard of the Daoist Master's name, yet you dare to block my way? I respect you as a fierce ghost."
The young Taoist chuckled and closed in, striking Gu Bai with a palm strike.
The palm strike was fierce, golden, and scorching hot like a furnace.
Abundant Yang energy!
They did not use the power of their own kind!
Gu Bai felt a chill run down his spine. His right hand shot out like lightning, grabbed the man's wrist, and executed an over-the-shoulder throw.
bang
Zhang Qingguan crashed heavily to the ground, causing the ground to crack and scattering debris everywhere.
A powerful force emanated, shaking Gu Bai's wrist away.
Gu Bai frowned and withdrew.
Zhang Qingguan sprang up, his body radiating brilliant golden light: "Interesting. No wonder you dared to stop me, Daoist. However, I must get serious."
Gu Bai subconsciously retreated further. If it was really Zhang Qingguan, he would have a Xuanwu on him.
Although it is of the same kind as Xuanwu in appearance, it is probably not a kind person if it looks like Xuanwu.
Zhang Qingguan formed a hand seal and chanted, "Supreme Jade Pure King, ruling over the thirty-six heavens, universally transforming the nine heavens, manifesting in the ten directions... Thunder, come!"
bang
The night sky exploded with thunder and lightning, and golden lightning tore through the darkness like a serpent, striking towards Gu Bai.
Gu Bai's expression changed drastically. "You cultivate immortality?"
Thunder magic?
Without the slightest hesitation, the White Bone Demon turned and ran.
It's pretty outrageous. A human who cultivates yang energy without borrowing the power of others can actually summon thunder.
bang
The thunder struck, the ground cracked, and electric arcs raged.
"Little Ghost, now that you're here, you're not leaving!"
Zhang Qingguan's feet shimmered with light, his hands forming a hand seal: "With disheveled hair, I ride a Qilin; barefoot, I tread on layers of ice; wielding the Qi of the Nine Heavens, I lash the wind and whip the thunder… Command!"
boom
Zhang Qingguan's speed increased dramatically, his hands flashing with lightning and crackling with electric arcs.
Arcs of electricity crisscrossed the void, spreading rapidly in all directions, illuminating the night and enveloping Gu Bai.
"Creating lightning with your own hands? Not a good time to linger!"
A blue light flickered in Gu Bai's palm, like grains of sand, and was scattered into the void.
His feet shone with azure light, his figure was like a ghost, and with a few flashes, he disappeared into the night.
Wherever the blue sand grains passed, the lightning crumbled upon them. When the blue light struck Zhang Qingguan, the terrifying force sent him flying, blood gushing from his mouth.
He braced himself with both palms, rolled over, and steadied himself: "I respectfully request the True Martial God of the North, to tread upon the Heavenly Gate and the Extreme Turtle Spirit... Old turtle, move... the demons have all run away."
"Did they really run away?"
The turtle-like creature cautiously peeked out from behind him, and once it was sure he was really gone, it immediately hardened its stance: "He's a man of principle; he knows that I, as a king, should not meet with another king."
Zhang Qingguan: "??"
What nonsense are you talking about?
"I'm evenly matched with him. If we really fought, even if I defeated him, I would be seriously injured. For people of the same level like us, it's best to avoid each other. Look at him, he doesn't even want to fight, he just runs away."
