Chapter 650: The Great Sage Master

"What about the Lifeguard Zhou Clan?"

Hu Ma heard the young woman's furious shout and responded with a deep growl, his fingers clenching as he attempted to seize the large hammer from her grasp.

But his heart couldn't help but tremble, "As expected!"

From the moment this woman displayed her formidable aura and arrogance, he had guessed her extraordinary nature, and now it was confirmed—she had an impressive background!

The Lifeguard Zhou Clan, one of the Ten Surnames, the New Year Guardian Clan, was supposed to be in cahoots with the Nobleman Zhang and the Through-Yin Family Meng in the City of the Wrongly Dead. Who could have predicted that a member of the Zhou Clan would also appear here?

Thinking of her identity, he became momentarily cautious, but soon calmed down. What could the Zhou Clan do? His skills were already formidable, and he didn't put other clans in his eyes. He was just about to challenge the Zhou Clan.

When New Year Guardians fight, it's all about courage. If you're intimidated, what's the point of fighting?

All these thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and he suddenly felt enlightened, not wanting to be outdone in conversation. He reached out to seize the hammer while simultaneously extending his four arms to strike at her face, treating her like a common ghost he encountered daily.

"Is this the extent of a malevolent spirit's abilities?"

Facing Hu Ma's fierce divine form, the Zhou Clan's fourth miss managed to block a couple of strikes, but her hammers were almost taken away, and her heart was pounding.

Although young, she had never encountered the Great Sage Master and couldn't help but wonder, "I've already opened three manor gates and ventured into the Netherworld to seek the bridge of opportunity. If I hadn't crossed the bridge and encountered a member of the Zhou Clan, wouldn't they have been smashed by my hammer, one by one?"

"But now, I've met someone so formidable."

"Could there be a technique in this world that can rival the skills of the Zhou Clan?"

"..."

She knew that Hu Ma was the malevolent spirit the Meng Clan spoke of, but she had already inquired about them at home. These malevolent spirits weren't some kind of supernatural beings; they still needed to learn skills, and a single hammer strike could still kill them.

Who, then, should fear whom?

Seeing Hu Ma's increasing ferocity in the fight, she felt her pride stir, and she swiftly retreated two steps, shouting, "You're quite skilled, young man! I won't take advantage of you even if you're unarmed!"

As she spoke, she tossed the pair of hammers aside, clapped her hands, and suddenly, a divine light emanated from the top of her head, forming a divine form.

"Ah..."

This surprised the nearby Meng Clan disciples, and several leaders quickly shouted, "Fourth Miss, he's a malevolent spirit! Don't talk about chivalry with him, and don't throw away your weapon..."

"Get lost!"

But the fourth miss of the Zhou Clan paid them no heed. Instead, she let out a fierce shout and transformed into a majestic divine maiden with cold eyes and flowing hair. Her figure seemed to change a thousand times, and within the blurry silhouette, she formed a seal and smashed it towards Hu Ma.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Hu Ma had already clenched his fist and smashed forward, colliding with her divine form. Their soul lights intertwined, and within moments of exchanging blows, he was shocked.

This delicate young woman's divine form was slender and graceful, devoid of any masculine ferocity. Instead, it harnessed the subtleties of femininity, and to his surprise, it countered his mighty summoning and banishing of spirits.

"Something's wrong. Where did this person learn such skills?"

The fourth miss of the Zhou Clan, on the other hand, was even more astonished. His divine form was powerful and fierce, intimidating, and she, a member of the prestigious Zhou Clan, felt as if she had been suppressed by him from the start.

Given her status, she should have been above any New Year Guardian she encountered, easily dominating them. But now, the situation was reversed.

The Zhou Clan's techniques were like a divine maiden sitting high on a mountain peak, uniting heaven and earth, receiving veneration. But the man before her was like a malevolent demon, unrestrained and unruly, summoning and banishing spirits, with a rampant and unchecked attitude that disregarded heaven, earth, and all creation.

Although she deeply refused to accept it, she was genuinely suppressed by her opponent.

"Should I retrieve my hammers..."

For a moment, she couldn't help but think, "Perhaps I should use the Zhou Clan's signature move to forcefully subdue him?"

...

...

"In twenty years, the Zhou Clan's techniques have reached such heights?"

At that moment, Long Jing Senior was observing the fight between Hu Ma and the fourth miss of the Zhou Clan, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly, "It seems the Ten Surnames haven't been idle."

"Twenty years ago, the Zhou Clan's techniques were only passed down to males, as women couldn't inherit the fierce and violent Yin-Yang Techniques of the Zhou Clan."

"But now, this little girl has cultivated such a divine form, upright and decent, yet unpredictable. Where did the Zhou Clan find so many talented individuals to refine their techniques to this level?"

"..."

"..."

As he watched, the eyes of the nearby Meng Clan disciples turned green with envy.

They had no intention of following any chivalrous code; why would they let Hu Ma fight while they stood by and watched the 'Iron Guanyin'?

But the fourth miss of the Zhou Clan had always disliked the Meng Clan. Whenever something displeased her, she would either scold or beat them, and these subordinates dared not provoke her at this time.

Just then, footsteps approached, and a group of people surrounded a blind monk wearing a long robe and cloth shoes. He hurriedly said, "Seventh Young Master, that Iron Master has rebelled, bringing a malevolent spirit from an unknown origin to cause trouble."

"It's a good thing that Zhou Jia's fourth sister is helping to block, but... but she's not one of us. It's good that she's willing to help, but I can't order her around..."

"..."

The blind monk, upon hearing this, spoke with a chilling tone, "I may be blind up there, but down here, do I need you to remind me?"

"I came here to fish, but this fish came early. The feng shui of the master's mansion has been tampered with, causing harm to lives, which is why they ended up here..."

"What are you waiting for? If we don't act fast, even Zhou Jia's fourth miss won't be able to handle such a major matter with discretion..."

"..."

Upon hearing his words, the surrounding Meng Jia disciples finally reacted. They shouted angrily and rushed towards Long Jing Xian Sheng, one after another. This place was the main residence of the culprit, and although it was destroyed, the secret passages remained. They couldn't summon any gods, so they had to rely on their own abilities.

But for a crippled person like Long Jing Xian Sheng, it was more than enough. Even if it were an intruding malevolent spirit, let alone a burly man, he probably couldn't resist.

'Long Jing Xian Sheng...'

Hu Ma, while fiercely battling Zhou Jia's fourth sister, caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye and was startled. She wanted to step in to protect him, but suddenly saw Long Jing Xian Sheng standing there with his hands behind his back, unaffected and walking slowly forward. He spoke calmly, "Don't be distracted. I don't care where you learned it from, but I don't want to see Laojun Mei's technique defeated by someone else before my eyes."

"..."

"Be careful..."

But Hu Ma couldn't pay attention to what Long Jing Xian Sheng was saying. She was shocked that her battle with Zhou Jia's fourth sister had reached a critical point, and she couldn't hold back. What if she accidentally injured him...

However, she hadn't expected that Long Jing Xian Sheng, who seemed frail, would enter the scene and, by some incredible coincidence, remain unharmed.

Her and Zhou Jia's fourth miss's fists and feet, swirling with yin winds, all brushed past him without causing the slightest harm.

On the contrary, one of the Meng Jia disciples who had just charged towards Long Jing Xian Sheng was smashed into a meat patty by Hu Ma's punch, while another was struck by Zhou Jia's fourth miss, who couldn't control her momentum, and had his head turned around by her palm.

At first glance, it seemed that Hu Ma and Zhou Jia's fourth miss were merely providing a backdrop for Long Jing Xian Sheng, as if they were intentionally protecting him.

The Meng Jia disciples were all shocked. They had always feared Zhou Jia's miss, and now they couldn't fathom her abilities, so they dared not approach. Instead, they glared at the blind monk with resentment: "You said it would be fine even if we went up there. What's going on with those two?"

"Iron Master is indeed formidable..."

The blind monk strained to open his sunken eyes and sighed softly, "This is the skill of a head culprit clan seeking goodness and avoiding misfortune."

"In a region, there must be both lucky and unlucky positions. Being in a lucky position allows one to avoid danger."

"Not only can he avoid the two intruding malevolent spirits, but even if two people were to engage in a spell battle after ascending the bridge, he could still weave in and out, unaffected. This is because his position is a lucky one, and the spell battle won't reach him unless someone actively attacks him."

"And if someone were to chase and attack him, they would fall into an unlucky position and be struck down by the two battling each other..."

"..."

The intruding malevolent spirits around had keen eyes, and they understood his words instantly. However, they felt troubled, as clear as his explanation was, what could they do?

"No worries!"

The blind monk slowly sat down, feeling his way, and raised his right hand to quickly calculate. He spoke softly, "It turns out it's an intruding malevolent spirit, an unexpected guest. I'll swiftly calculate and find out his origins..."

...

At this moment, Long Jing Xian Sheng walked forward, holding a smoking pipe in his hand and with one hand behind his back. He appeared crippled, but amidst the fierce battle between the two year guardians, he seemed unaffected, moving freely without a leaf touching him.

His gaze made Zhou Jia's fourth miss's heart tremble, as if he had seen through everything. She wanted to kick him out, but Hu Ma's powerful punches kept her from mustering any strength.

At this critical moment, Long Jing Xian Sheng glanced a few times and understood the situation. He smiled faintly, tapped the pipe on the stove, and said softly, "Zhou Jia stole the techniques of the year guardians of the world and combined them into one, which is why they have such might!"

"But you're not afraid that they stole the techniques of the year guardians of the world, yet they couldn't steal your Great Heavenly General Seal!"

"Teach her a good lesson and give the Ten Surnames a little shock!"

"..."

"What?"

Upon hearing his reminder, not only did Hu Ma's spirit lift, but Zhou Jia's fourth sister was also shocked. As she looked at Hu Ma, she couldn't hide her awe, and exclaimed, "You... you're the Great Sage Master?"

"No!"

Hearing her words, Hu Ma instantly understood and smiled grimly, "I am the Great Bellied Ghost King, and I will swallow you, delicate little girl!"
