Chapter 12: Master and Disciple United
Watching the Pig Demon charge up the steps with unstoppable momentum, Xiang Jiannan didn’t have time to get up and rolled directly on the spot.
The Pig Demon’s strongest point is its body. If I get hit, I’ll definitely die on the spot.
Don’t underestimate this Pig Demon just because of its bulky figure. It’s actually quite fast when it moves, charging and smashing several pieces of ground along the way.
The courtyard of the temple is all paved with stones. Even a martial artist who has entered the Second-Rank Realm would probably need to gather their strength to achieve this kind of effect. It would be difficult to be as relaxed and casual as the Pig Demon.
Hoo hoo hoo hoo!
With its huge body reaching the outside of the Incense Hall, the Pig Demon suddenly stopped abruptly. Even though it looked like it had completely lost its mind, it was still panting heavily and observing the doorway first.
Such an unconventional fighting style gave Xiang Jiannan a chance to catch his breath for a moment.
He hadn’t rolled too far from the threshold into the room. If the Pig Demon had maintained its previous momentum, he believed he would have been unable to stand up from the chase.
This Pig Demon has its concerns!
Taking advantage of the Pig Demon’s pause, Xiang Jiannan quickly got up and first aimed his gaze at the wide-open window next to him.
The direction he had rolled was towards this window. According to his estimation, it would take at least five to six seconds to rush over, not including the time to get up and squeeze through the window. He was afraid that just as he was sticking his butt out and only half his body had passed through, the Pig Demon would immediately catch up.
Judging from the power it had just displayed, it could probably knock down the wall along with him.
Outside this window is the long corridor leading to the backyard. If he was hit by the Pig Demon, he might as well not run.
Da da da.
While Xiang Jiannan was openly looking at the window in front of it, the Pig Demon had already started to enter the room with its four hooves.
It didn’t care about Xiang Jiannan’s thoughts. Its eyes were only fixed on the Grandmaster’s clay statue in the room. Only after its entire body had entered the Incense Hall did it confidently look back at its original target.
Its four hooves gradually increased in force, and saliva began to drip from its fangs.
“Evil creature, look behind you!”
After taking a deep breath, Xiang Jiannan shouted loudly. He was forced to retreat by the Pig Demon until his body was against the window, with no further way to retreat. Only then did he decide to take a gamble.
It is said that opportunities are fleeting, and this time he really didn’t seize it.
Just hesitating for a moment had allowed the Pig Demon to get even closer to him. He hoped that this monster could still understand human speech. If not, he could give it the chance to go through the window.
Aww!
Using its hind legs to push off the ground, the Pig Demon that Xiang Jiannan wanted to fool didn’t fall for it. Tilting its head, using its fangs as weapons, it roared and charged forward. The sound shook the lights in the room a few times, and in that short distance, it almost pierced Xiang Jiannan’s eardrums.
The plan failed…
With a whoosh, Xiang Jiannan sprang up from the spot. He was more agile than the Pig Demon, turning around and grabbing the window frame, planning to quickly throw his body over.
Forget about the wall, he had to get through first. If he was hit by the Pig Demon, he would be in deep trouble.
But just as he lifted his legs, he felt something wrap around his lower body. Before he could kick it twice, his upper body, which had already extended out, was pulled back.
With another toss, he hit the door frame and fell back into the Incense Hall.
This time, not only was his body cold, but his Taoist robe was also soaked in a large area. His two feet were stuck high up, unable to move freely, and his body was shaking more and more frequently.
His Taoist robe was caught on the fangs, and he was lying on the Pig Demon’s back. There was no way to run now.
Bang bang bang!
Unexpectedly, the previous attack had caused Xiang Jiannan to lie on its back. The Pig Demon, having missed its target, went even more berserk in the room, banging and crashing around. Except for the clay statue, almost everything in the Incense Hall was hit by it.
It wanted to get Xiang Jiannan off its back. In its panic, it could only start destroying things first.
No matter what, I can’t get down!
Clinging tightly to the Pig Demon’s fur that he could reach, Xiang Jiannan was occasionally hit by falling objects. The fur on the Pig Demon was as hard as iron. Unless he was pulled off, Xiang Jiannan would not let go on his own.
If he fell down and was stepped on by the Pig Demon’s four hooves, he couldn’t even bear to imagine the b*oody scene.
Although his current position was not very comfortable, it could barely save his life. He would just stall for a while, maybe things would turn around soon.
While comforting himself with wide eyes, he noticed that the Pig Demon had suddenly left the Incense Hall. Braving the diminishing rain outside, it started running wildly in the courtyard with him on its back.
In its anxiety, the Pig Demon had once again lost its mind. It only felt that its back had become unsafe and was eager to throw Xiang Jiannan off. After knocking over things everywhere and seeing no effect, it could only return to the courtyard in frustration.
It jumped up and down in the rain, and suddenly lifted its butt to bump him hard.
After several attempts, Xiang Jiannan felt his feet were free.
The hanging Taoist robe suddenly broke. If he hadn’t been holding onto the Pig Demon’s fur, he would have definitely lost his balance and fallen off its back.
“Disciple.”
Quickly adjusting his position, Xiang Jiannan used his legs to hold on tightly to the Pig Demon’s back.
The Pig Demon’s body was not at the point where he could clamp his legs around it. It was more of a half-crouch than a ride. When he was able to look around from a comfortable angle, he saw his Master had appeared again at some point.
Standing on the long corridor next to the Incense Hall, he was holding something in his hand. The Pig Demon’s movements were extremely unstable, and he couldn’t see clearly no matter how many times he looked.
“This old Taoist has lived for decades, and this is the first time I’ve seen someone fight a demon like this.”
Holding a few bunches of green grass in his hand, Gao Yu’an was shocked by Xiang Jiannan’s position.
This Pig Demon was huge, but how could he have ended up on its back? How did my disciple come up with such a high-risk method?
Was it that easy to get on the Pig Demon’s back? If I hadn’t seen it clearly, I would have thought I was seeing things.
One man and one pig, they’ve messed up all the decorations in the courtyard.
And you’re still not thinking of a solution.
After being tossed around by the Pig Demon for a few more rounds, Xiang Jiannan now placed all his hopes on his Master.
He believed that his Master definitely had a solution. Everything he had done before was just for some unavoidable reason.
If this continued, he was really going to throw up. This Pig Demon already had a smell, and he had been enduring it since the beginning.
“Evil creature, stop now.”
With his hands behind his back, Gao Yu’an stepped into the rain. When the Pig Demon wanted to make another circle, he called out to stop it. His thin body directly blocked the way, and his tone was full of mystery:
“Guess what this old Taoist has brought you?”
The kind of posture that Xiang Jiannan thought wouldn’t even fool a child, miraculously made the Pig Demon stop. As its body came to a halt, the Pig Demon realized that it seemed very tired.
“It’s green grass.”
As if giving a surprise, Gao Yu’an spread his hands forward with a smile, revealing the answer. The kind of pride that said, “Whether you’re satisfied or not, I’m very satisfied,” almost made Xiang Jiannan slip off the Pig Demon’s back.
Is this the plan you traded your disciple’s life for? Haha, not funny at all.
Huuu~~~
Letting out a heavy breath, the Pig Demon’s mood was the same as Xiang Jiannan’s when it realized what was happening. When it confirmed that the old Taoist in front of it was teasing it, it felt that there was nothing to worry about in this Ping’an Temple.
Two Taoists, one crazy and one dull.
After careful consideration, it slowly began to move closer to Gao Yu’an. It looked like it was going for the green grass, but in reality, it was aiming for his swaying head.
Are all Taoists this self-righteous? Do you really think we demons are like three-year-olds?
This old pig is already five hundred years old.
“Don’t move, let me take another look.”
Wiping his face hard with his sleeve, Xiang Jiannan’s eyes never left his Master. Through the misty rain, he saw that the green grass in his Master’s hand had mixed with the rain and become the same color.
The Pig Demon wouldn’t listen to him, but he had a way to make it truly stop.
Grabbing the Pig Demon’s two ears, he twisted them slightly, and the entire courtyard shook.
The several-hundred-pound body slumped down in front of Gao Yu’an.
