A man and a beast stared at each other. The enchantment isolated outsiders from probing inside but it did not change the inside. It was similar to a higher-level ghost-fighting wall.
The night wind blew gently. It kept blowing on his face. Zhou Ze suddenly felt a little regretful. He should have worn a wider set of clothes today.
In this scene, his long sleeves fluttered and his hair flew in the wind as he faced this mythical beast in front of him.
He let Bai Yingying take a photo with her cell phone from behind. Even if it could replace a wedding photo or be hung on the bedside, he would wake up every day and admire it for a while in the future.
Unfortunately, his right arm was now in a cast. The fingers on his left hand were still bandaged. No matter how he looked at it, it was a miserable image of a destitute person who had no way out. It was a little embarrassing.
Xiezhi did not know what Zhou Ze was thinking at the moment. If it knew, it would probably be angrier!
This little ghost in front of it wanted to use it as a picture backdrop?!
Of course, one thing was very clear. Xiezhi did not recognize Zhou Ze. It did not recognize the person in front of it. He was the one who broke one of its horns thousands of years ago.
Although this matter did not spread among the ordinary people who thought that it was born with a single horn, Xiezhi always remembered this humiliation.
Haechi continued to move forward. The single horn was less than two meters away from Zhou Ze. Law enforcers must be upright no matter who came to stop them. They would be expelled the same! In Xiezhi’s eyes, Zhou Ze was not qualified to plead for mercy or stop him!
“Boss!”
Bai Yingying clenched her fists and was ready to charge at him at any time.
Beside her, Lawyer An continued to kneel on the ground with a struggling expression. He raised his head and looked at Zhou Ze who was standing in front of the Little Monkey. In his heart, there was a bitter feeling of regret likened to the regret of a wife teaching a husband to look for a noble title.
“Boss, I’ll never advise you to be a hero again. I’ll just be a salted fish for a while, can I?”
Zhou Ze shook his head gently and signaled for Bai Yingying not to charge forward. If Bai Yingying faced such a huge monster, she would probably end up like the monkey too.
Little Loli, Xu Qinglang, and the death attendant were watching from afar.
Xu Qinglang had a lot of band-aids on him. Monkey had swept his tail at the bookstore earlier, but he did not mean to hurt him. Despite the ugly scene of him being sent flying, Xu Qinglang was not seriously injured.
“Hey, what are you doing!” Little Loli grabbed Xu Qinglang’s hand.
“Going to help,” Xu Qinglang answered back.
“You know what this is, right?”
“Haechi.”
“You can’t help much even if you go over now. Just wait. We’ll help when we can.”
“Doesn’t this count as leaving him to die?”
“Bullsh*t. Who knows if this guy wants to bring a maid to warm his bed on the road to the Netherworld before he dies? I’m the last person who wants to see him die but ordinary players are no longer qualified to enter in this situation.”
“What do you mean?” Xu Qinglang still didn’t understand.
“Next, it’s a death scene.”
Little Loli glanced at Xu Qinglang, “After Boss cheats, you find an opportunity to rescue the boss and the others. You’re a living person and a mystic cultivator. The Divine Beast will find you more pleasing to the eye than us.”
Xu Qinglang nodded.
Little Loli looked at the death attendant. “When I tell you to go, you go. If the situation changes, you try to take a blow for the boss and the others. Don’t risk yourself, understand? Don’t get beaten up in the end. You won’t be able to recover.”
The death attendant giggled.
“…”
Time passed slowly.
Xiezhi was approaching step by step. It felt that the person in front of it seemed to be prepared to attack. It was only an illusion.
Even though the monkey’s constant stimulation had caused it to have some emotions, Xiezhi’s IQ was not very high now. It was like a child.
Xiezhi waited for the man in front of it to make a move but Zhou Ze stood still as steady as Mount Tai in front of the Divine Beast. He did not move at all. His face was as still as water!
In reality, he was desperately roaring in his heart, ‘F*ck you, immortal board. I usually don’t allow you to come out, but you pester me to come out. Now that I’ve asked you to come out, why haven’t you said anything?’
The idiot’s seal had already been weakened by Zhou Ze’s signal. The scarlet seal had faded extremely. It was as if a casual stretch could pierce through it.
There was no response at all from the person inside. It was as if he had fallen asleep.
‘F*ck, don’t you usually feel that I’m number one in the world? Why are you cowering now? You’re being a coward now, similar to when people from the Bridge of Helplessness came.’
Boss Zhou seemed to be pulled back by Lawyer An at that moment.
“Rise and shine? Don’t be so passive and wait for death! Where’s your fighting spirit? Where’s your perseverance? Where’s your diligence?
“You just squeaked!”
“Squeak.”
“…” Zhou Ze.
For a moment, his heart raced as if countless cloying horses whizzed past in his heart.
When did that person become so shameless?
“Didn’t you seal me… proudly?”
“Then, let’s die together.”
“I… don’t want… to help you anymore…”
“An excuse.”
“An excuse… Do you think… I’m afraid… of it?
“A beast… who came to Hell to lecture me… whose horn was broken..?”
“The pet of Emperor Yao… how dare he scold me…”
“But now, you don’t dare to come out, do you?”
“It’s useless to provoke me… if you want to live… Get out of the way…”
“At the end of the day, you’re the coward.”
“Ha… ha…”
No matter how much they argued in their hearts as Xiezhi got closer, Boss Zhou was embarrassed. The one inside didn’t want to show himself. He could let the other small beings know of his existence. He was even confident that he could eat those small beings directly.
It did not matter because he did not dare to tell the world that he was still alive. It was easy to think from his perspective. How arrogant he was with his temper before he fell and how many people he had offended. When he fell, he began to be afraid that others would kick him while he was down.
However, did he really have to step back and hand over the Little Monkey? Should he lower his head and apologize to Xiezhi by saying “Master Beast, please continue. I won’t disturb you any longer.”?
Boss Zhou was a person who cherished his life but he really couldn’t bring himself to do such a thing when he saw the Little Monkey who had fallen asleep against his trousers.
Many people spent their entire lives doing things that sought profit and avoided harm. However, the true meaning of life was the opposite.
“Hey.” Zhou Ze raised his head and looked at Xiezhi.
There was a mocking glint in the corner of Xiezhi’s eyes.
“Why is there only one horn on your head? Was it because you were playful when you were young and used your horn everywhere, but someone broke one of them? That’s not right. If there was only one horn left, wouldn’t it be more convenient for you to go up against others?”
Xiezhi’s eyes began to turn red. It was starting to get angry. Zhou Ze’s words were undoubtedly tearing open the scales in its heart.
It was a Divine Beast of Justice under Emperor Yao, a symbol of justice in ancient times. It was not satisfied with being in charge of justice in the human world alone. It attempted to expand to the scope of Hell. Thus, it could achieve the long-cherished wish of the Yin and Yang Order and the unity of Dharma.
In the end, it met the Master of the Netherworld Sea in Hell. The humiliation of the broken horn!!!
Zhou Ze continued, “Hey, open your eyes and take a good look at who I am!!!”
Xiezhi frowned slightly. Its Kirin-like body began to circle Zhou Ze slowly.
It had felt a little uncomfortable from the moment it appeared here but it really could not tell where this uncomfortable feeling came from. Xiezhi had not been able to investigate in detail.
So, when Zhou Ze asked it to look carefully, it did.
Despite looking for a long time, it still could not see anything.
“Huh? You don’t see it?” Zhou Ze was stunned. “You are f*cking blind!”
It was no wonder that Xiezhi didn’t recognize it. First of all, it was just a projection, not even a clone. Secondly, it must be more difficult to investigate because of the existence of the idiot and the deliberately hiding of his aura.
“Okay, okay, okay. If you can’t figure it out, I’ll tell you directly.”
“I am the one who broke your horn!” Zhou Ze shouted.
‘I have already revealed your trivial matter. If you want to continue to hide, you can! At worst, we will die together!’
The emotions in Haechi’s eyes began to become agitated. The streak of scarlet red got so thick that it seemed to be dripping down!
“Roar!!!”
Xiezhi suddenly raised his head. A faint white color appeared on his horn. He directly stabbed the Little Monkey at Zhou Ze’s feet!
“Boom!!!”
A terrifying explosion sounded on the street outside the police station. A huge round pit appeared. The police officers who would come to work the next morning would probably be shocked when all this was over.
Even Bai Yingying and Lawyer An were affected by this terrifying power. They were sent flying and fell to the ground.
“Boss!!!”
As soon as Bai Yingying landed, she stood up and looked at the round pit.
Haechi was floating in the air. It did not disappear after the smoke and dust slowly dissipated.
There was still a figure standing in the round pit.
This person was holding his arm up. He seemed to have used his palm to block the attack from the horn!
There was indeed damage all around but the area under this person’s feet was the only single bulge in the round pit.
Even the Little Monkey under him was still sleeping as if he did not feel anything.
Zhou Ze put his arm down. There was deep darkness in his eyes. He raised his head and looked at the Xiechi above him. He smiled and said, “It’s been a long time… I haven’t seen you… Wangcai…”
