Chapter 1787: Openly Ambushing Zhou Zhou Mobai

Wei Wubing remained silent for a long time, as if pondering.

Zhou Zhou Mobai was extremely impatient, constantly sneering and mocking, "Brother Wei, why hesitate? Let me test the depths for you first."

Having spoken, he headed straight for the meditation room.

Fearing he would ruin things, Wei Wubing hurriedly chased after him.

Only after the two had gone far did Chen Chen Guanlou quietly poke his head out and follow.

Zhou Zhou Mobai was impulsive; before Wei Wubing could stop him, upon seeing Monk Liaowu, he let out a cold sneer and immediately struck with a palm, all killing moves.

"Amitabha!" Monk Liaowu sat unmoving, his face full of compassion, effortlessly neutralizing Zhou Zhou Mobai's killing moves with calm indifference.

At that moment, Wei Wubing caught up, shouting loudly, "Zhou Zhou Mobai, stop!"

Immediately after, he bowed to Monk Liaowu, "Greetings, Master. Brother Zhou is somewhat impulsive due to his cultivation practice; I hope Master will not hold it against him."

One Monk, one Eunuch; both appeared extremely aged. In contrast, Zhou Zhou Mobai, standing aside with a look of defiance, seemed full of youthful vigor, yet the whole person looked neither human nor ghost, half-dead yet carrying a hint of madness.

"Long time no see, Eunuch Wei! Young Zhou is as lively as ever. Amitabha!" Master Liaowu's single sentence resolved the dispute between the two sides.

Zhou Zhou Mobai immediately laughed out loud, "Lively! Monk, open your eyes wide and look at me; am I lively or mad?"

"In the eyes of this old monk, there is no distinction. Young Zhou has suffered much these years." Master Liaowu raised his hand in a gesture of invitation, signaling the two to sit and speak.

Wei Wubing hesitated for a moment, then chose a side spot and sat on the ground.

Zhou Zhou Mobai faced Master Liaowu directly, sitting in the very spot Chen Chen Guanlou had occupied that day.

"Monk, let us speak plainly; what do you want?" Again, it was Zhou Zhou Mobai who spoke first.

Master Liaowu ignored him and instead looked at Wei Wubing.

There was no place for Zhou Zhou Mobai to speak here.

Zhou Zhou Mobai was extremely furious, pounding the small table and shouting angrily, "Monk, do you look down on me? Though I am mad, it does not mean I am stupid."

"Zhou Zhou Mobai!" Wei Wubing scolded sharply, "Shut your mouth! If you don't speak, no one will think you are a fool."

Zhou Zhou Mobai flew into a rage, "Wei Wubing, you eunuch, what right do you have to blame me? Fine, you find me obstructive; I will leave then."

He rose in anger and left, departing decisively and cleanly.

Wei Wubing was very annoyed.

Master Liaowu casually asked, "Eunuch Wei, will you not chase after him?"

"No need! Coming to visit late tonight is for serious matters. Brother Zhou's affair can be handled later."

Chen Chen Guanlou hid far away, constantly thinking about how to get close enough to eavesdrop.

Before he could figure out a plan, he saw Zhou Zhou Mobai emerge from the meditation room and head straight down the mountain!

Is he planning to run away?

Hesitating for half a second, Chen Chen Guanlou immediately abandoned Wei Wubing's side and chased after the fleeing Zhou Zhou Mobai.

Zhou Zhou Mobai had long grown tired of the days of being imprisoned in the palace, seeing no daylight.

Such a rare opportunity; how could he possibly give it up?

Once out of the meditation room, he headed straight for the foot of the mountain.

He wanted to leave Jingcheng, run far away so Wei Wubing could not find him. From now on, the sky is high and birds fly free; the sea is vast and fish leap at will. The world is vast; no one can bind him.

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, he headed directly north.

Everyone mistakenly thought he would go to the prosperous lands in the south, but he would not.

He would go north!

To the sparsely populated lands to live freely.

Sprinting a hundred or two hundred li in one breath, he was already far from Jingcheng and far from Great Xiang Temple.

The surrounding trees were dense, far from villages and towns. The starlight above was sparse, and it was a pitch-black midnight where one could not see a hand in front of one's face. This place and time were the perfect moment for murder and robbery.

Chen Chen Guanlou used a disguise technique to alter his appearance, changing his image, and directly covered his face with a black cloth.

No greetings, no deliberate preparation; a direct ambush. The precious sword Wu Gou was drawn, his aura deliberately suppressed, heading straight for Zhou Zhou Mobai's vital point.

Zhou Zhou Mobai was, after all, a Grandmaster; the instant the precious sword Wu Gou was drawn, even though Chen Chen Guanlou had suppressed his aura, he sensed the danger. He dodged with a flash, successfully avoiding it.

Turning back, he swung his palm!

Withered branches and fallen leaves were all weapons.

"Bold thief, how dare you ambush this old man! You seek death!"

Zhou Zhou Mobai looked at the stranger in black before him, and his killing intent instantly arose. His hair danced in the air, and leaves spun and flew in mid-air.

Countless withered branches transformed into sharp swords, heading straight for Chen Chen Guanlou.

Chen Chen Guanlou wielded the precious sword Wu Gou; the withered branches fell to the ground, turning into broken twigs!

"You have some skills! Who exactly are you?" Zhou Zhou Mobai asked while continuously unleashing killing moves.

Chen Chen Guanlou remained silent.

He had changed his figure and appearance, and could also change his voice. But he dared not underestimate Zhou Zhou Mobai; the other was, after all, a famous Grandmaster for many years. If he made a sound and was exposed by the other, would that not be terribly unlucky?

His advantage lay in the fact that the other did not know he had already advanced to Grandmaster; he exploited an information gap.

"Wanting to kill this old man is overestimating yourself!" Zhou Zhou Mobai sneered lightly, his figure flashing, fast as lightning.

If Chen Chen Guanlou revealed even the slightest flaw, he could take the opportunity to kill the other. He had this confidence.

Chen Chen Guanlou was greatly shocked; when had Zhou Zhou Mobai cultivated such a movement technique, so ghostly and swift? The advantage of fleeing seemed lost. He was furious!

He wanted to kill the other even more.

"You want to kill this old man? In your next life!" Zhou Zhou Mobai sensed his emotional fluctuations and felt very pleased. Using this method to provoke the other might cause the other to reveal a flaw.

Chen Chen Guanlou scoffed internally; he only had this life, this one life, no next life.

Die!

He used the method of self-explosion, as if seeking mutual destruction, charging toward the ghostly figure.

Zhou Zhou Mobai turned pale with shock.

At such speed, how could the other party have seen through it?

With such firm resolve to kill him, when had he provoked such an enemy?

Boom!

An explosion echoed through the night sky.

"Hahaha... No one can kill this old man!"

Amidst the dust, seconds passed; Zhou Zhou Mobai spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and laughed wildly.

Chen Chen Guanlou laughed along as the Fruit of Longevity was repairing his body at the fastest speed. Bending his waist and gazing at the arrogant figure ahead, at that very moment, the precious sword Wu Gou flew from his hand, striking toward that person.

Zhou Zhou Mobai sneered, his eyes full of contempt, and simply shifted his body aside to dodge. The precious sword Wu Gou grazed Zhou Zhou Mobai's side before flying back into Chen Chen Guanlou's hand.

Half a second later...

Zhou Zhou Mobai, unable to believe it, looked down at his side; he had failed to dodge that strike just now. He had actually been wounded! He was actually bleeding!

Haha...

He actually failed to dodge!

How is this possible!

"Little thief, prepare to die!"

Zhou Zhou Mobai suddenly went berserk, charging at Chen Chen Guanlou regardless of life or death.

Chen Chen Guanlou blocked two strikes, then decisively decided: Run!

The berserk Zhou Zhou Mobai's combat power doubled directly, multiplied several times over.

Fighting without regard for life or death; Chen Chen Guanlou did not wish to risk his life against the other party. Since he could wound Zhou Zhou Mobai once, he could wound the other party a second time, even a third.

Sooner or later, he would kill the other party.

He had plenty of patience and time.

"Little thief, where do you think you're going! Quickly give your name; this old man will leave you an intact corpse!"

Chen Chen Guanlou silently raised his middle finger and headed straight for the Great Xiang Temple in Jingcheng, deciding to divert the disaster eastward!
