93: Battle against the skeletons

The Skeleton Man spun his mourning stick, and the white paper strips on it fluttered rapidly.

The mourning stick spun faster and faster, and the paper strips flew out like weapons.

They were launched continuously, like bullets from a machine gun.

Except these bullets were soft paper strips.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

It was as if a swarm of killer bees was attacking.

The Little Security Guard casually grabbed a nearby table and used it to block the paper strips.

"Clang clang clang!"

The paper strips were not soft at all; they were like hard iron pieces, all embedding themselves in the wooden table.

The Skeleton Man spun faster and faster, and the paper strips continued to be launched with increasing force.

"This move is called 'Snowflakes Drifting'!" the Skeleton Man cackled.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"

The paper strips actually pierced through the wooden table.

It seemed this table couldn't serve as a shield anymore.

The Little Security Guard threw the table, now riddled like a sieve, towards the Skeleton Man.

The Skeleton Man casually swept it with his mourning stick.

The table was split in half and flew in two directions.

The two halves, still carrying momentum, each struck and killed a Man in Black bodyguard.

The Little Security Guard chuckled, "Wow, they hired you to kill enemies."

"But you haven't killed any enemies; instead, you've killed your own people."

"Your skill level is truly impressive!"

He gave a thumbs-up gesture.

Seeing this, the other bodyguards quickly hid further away.

These two were too skilled; if they got too close, they would just be cannon fodder!

The Skeleton Man's Face flushed with shame.

Since he began his career, he had never suffered such a defeat.

If he didn't kill this brat today, how could he establish himself in the Jianghu in the future?

Seeing that 'Snowflakes Drifting' couldn't take him down, he casually grabbed a large pile of joss paper from the nearby altar table and threw it at the Little Security Guard.

The joss paper flew out rapidly like hidden weapons.

"This move is called 'Joss Paper for Life'! I'll use this joss paper to buy your dog life!" the Skeleton Man declared.

Seeing no table available, the Little Security Guard casually picked up Young Master Liu Da's coffin.

He used the coffin as a shield.

The white joss paper all shot into the coffin.

It riddled the coffin.

And shot Young Master Liu Da's corpse until it was a bloody mess.

Old Master Liu stamped his foot in exasperation, "Great Expert Liu, I invited you to protect my family."

"Why did you ruin my son's body first?"

Old Madam Liu even fell to the ground, wailing, "My poor son—!"

Zhao Liying exclaimed, "Wow, Young Master Liu Da's Face is completely disfigured!"

"When his white-haired parents go down, will they even recognize their son?"

When Old Master and Old Madam Liu heard this, they thought, 'You're cursing us to die!'

They both wished they could chop this daughter-in-law into mincemeat!

The Little Security Guard chuckled, "Great Expert Liu, your hidden weapons are very accurate!"

"I'm impressed!"

"If I were to shoot, I might not hit the coffin every time."

"And I might not be able to riddle the corpse so thoroughly."

The Skeleton Man was both anxious and angry.

"Good! You tricked me!"

"It seems I can't hold back my ultimate move today!"

With that, he pulled out a bottle of liquid from his pocket.

It was an antique-looking small porcelain bottle; he untied the red cloth on it and poured the contents into his mouth.

Multicolored liquid entered the Skeleton Man's mouth.

The Little Security Guard teased, "Hey! You don't have to go that far!"

"Committing suicide by poison just because you can't win?"

"Your obsession with Face is too strong!"

The Skeleton Man's complexion gradually turned black, and black lines spread along the blood vessels on his Face.

His eyes also turned completely black, which was terrifying.

The Skeleton Man let out a long howl, like the roar of a vengeful spirit.

Then he stretched out his hands and violently clawed at his Face.

It was as if he was tearing off a painted skin.

After tearing off the painted skin, he removed his hood.

Inside, a skull detached from his body and flew out.

The skull flew, shouting, "I have potent venom in my mouth! Watch me bite you to death!"

Old Master and Old Madam Liu and the bodyguards quickly scattered and hid.

One bodyguard, fleeing in terror, blocked the skull's flight path.

The skull bit his ear, viciously tearing it off.

It crunched and swallowed it.

The bodyguard clutched his bleeding ear and shrieked, "Ah! My ear is gone! My ear...!"

Before he could finish, black lines spread from his ear to his entire body.

Like black earthworms, they burrowed under his skin.

Soon, the bodyguard was screaming and rolling on the ground.

He couldn't die, nor could he live.

The skull laughed, "See how powerful I am?"

"I don't even have an antidote for this poison myself."

"He will suffer for forty-nine days before dying."

"I'm going to give you an even more potent poison, to make you die even more painfully."

It flew towards the Little Security Guard.

The Little Security Guard sneered, "I'm done playing with you; I'm going to use my ultimate move too."

Dozens of ice darts formed a circle around him, rapidly taking shape.

"Fire!"

All the darts flew towards the skull.

The skull was dumbfounded, "What the hell kind of martial art is this?"

Before it could react, dozens of darts all shot into the skull.

"Boom!"

There was an explosion.

The head turned into a cloud of white mist.

Its body remained in place, still standing.

Now that the skull was destroyed, this headless corpse also fell to the ground, devoid of life.

The Little Security Guard looked at Old Master and Old Madam Liu, who were trembling under the table of the Grand Armchair.

"Old Master Liu, your expert has been slain by me!"

"Come out and die quickly!"

"You provoked me today; you won't escape!"

"Your whole family won't escape!"

"Every single one of you will die!"

Old Master Liu suppressed his fear and came out, angrily saying, "Just you?"

"I still have an ultimate move I haven't used!"

With that, he pressed a mechanism on the nearby wall.

A large hole suddenly appeared in the floor where the Little Security Guard was standing.

"Whoosh!"

The Little Security Guard fell directly through the hole.

"Brother Chun—!" Zhao Liying cried out anxiously.

Only then did Old Master Liu smugly sit back down.

Seeing the Little Security Guard fall into the trap, all the surrounding bodyguards happily gathered around again.

They surrounded Zhao Liying in the very center.

Old Master Liu sneered, "Didn't you not want to be our daughter-in-law?"

"Didn't you not want to take care of us, husband and wife?"

"Didn't you want to rely on your Brother Chun?"

"Now your Brother Chun is dead!"

Xiao Ying held back tears in her eyes, "Impossible, Brother Chun won't die."

Old Master Liu said, "Hehe, below this pit is a pool of water."

"There are over a dozen large crocodiles raised in it."

"How many days have these crocodiles gone without food?"

The Leader of the Men in Black replied, "Reporting, Master, it should be seven days since they last ate."

Old Master Liu laughed, "Seven days without eating, and now we've thrown such a large piece of meat down there, who knows what kind of scramble there'll be below?"

"Do you want to change your attitude now?"

"It's too late!"

Old Madam Liu also finally crawled out from under the table, "That's right! Her heart isn't with us; she might poison us to death at any time!"

"In my opinion, it's better to kill her too!"

"Anyway, it's for my son's ghost marriage, right?"

"A living bride is not as good as a dead bride!"

Zhao Liying's Face was filled with fear. Was she going to die here today?
