Chapter 0003: The Worn-Out Talismans

"Speak your mind, for loneliness will not harm you." The mysterious master understood Liu Hao's meaning

Liu Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said: "Evil spirits are indeed evil spirits; life is but a trifle in your eyes"

"Yes, young master." The doorman lowered his head and respectfully saw Liu Hao off as he left.

Just when Liu Hao thought he was doomed, a sound of "Ying" echoed, and a dazzling golden light flashed within the carriage

I would rather let the world bear a grudge against me than let me bear a grudge against the world! Who has disturbed my peaceful dreams!

Why haven't you left yet! Even if you want to feast on the wealthy, you can't keep your eyes on our Liu family! It's been a whole week! Today, you can forget about receiving a meal. I always said the young master is too kind; there are not too many swindlers like you in this world.

Hmm? Where did this evil spirit come from

"Xiao Liuzi, what are you shouting about? The old man hasn't left, so he hasn't left. Our family doesn't lack this one meal. Make sure he has his three meals a day, and you are not allowed to insult him, do you understand?" Liu Hao, who was just about to go out, reprimanded the doorman.

"Clever little fellow." The mysterious expert turned around again, stared at the leader for a while, and then said, "You can leave now"

"I will not eat anymore, the mountains are high and the roads are long, we shall meet again in the future." The old man stood up, shook off the dust from his clothes, and unsteadily blended into the crowd on the street, slowly disappearing from Liu Hao's sight

After a moment of silence, Liu Hao said: "You have overstepped your bounds! There are still generals above you. Moreover, a mere marshal thinks to recruit me; you truly underestimate my capabilities."

No! It is him! Under his gaze, Liu Hao felt a surge of blood and energy, and with his thoughts accelerating, he immediately provided an answer

Do you still have the strength to speak? Compared to us, you humans are cunning. Do not pretend in front of me; a spirit lord is a spirit lord, even if wounded and rebounding, it is still a spirit lord. Only a mediocre talent would regard you as a spirit apprentice

"You are not qualified to know." The mysterious master turned around, glanced at Liu Hao from top to bottom, and then said, "Are you the one who disturbed my peaceful dream?"

How do you know it is waste paper? Look, your family members have all taken three steps back

Indeed, a mere elite assessment could lead to your tragic demise, with only one surviving out of twenty-five. Do you not think that your Spirit Guard is regressing? Your name is Liu Hao, correct? This commander values talent; as long as you are willing to submit to us, I will recommend you to the Marshal.

A month later, with a sound of "du", Liu Hao personally delivered a meal to the old man lying at the door

With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a gust of palm wind, instantly slaying the bewildered evil spirit on the spot

"Hehe, Young Master Liu, aren't you going to ask me why I'm lingering here and not leaving?" The old man opened his eyes and asked with a smile.

Hmm? What? The evil spirit turned around to look in response to Liu Hao's words

"My lord, if he does not agree, let me take care of him!" The darkened, one-armed evil spirit pleaded with the commander.

Why don't you kill the evil spirit leader? Letting him go is equivalent to releasing a tiger back to the mountain. Liu Hao also deviated from the expected script and posed another question

... ...

Alright! Now it is quiet, we can have a good conversation. " said the mysterious expert in a tone that was neither too close nor too distant.

Liu Hao did not lose his composure under his threat, but instead was contemplating what else he could use as a final means of attack

"Do you not understand human language? Get lost!" The overwhelming pressure transformed into a heavy blow, striking fiercely towards the commander.

Hahaha ... ... Good! Greed is the driving force of progress, I am growing fonder of you. Liu Hao, m.hetushucom.com I will give you one last chance, will you yield or not? A substantial killing intent emanated from the leader, and as long as Liu Hao said no, the Grim Reaper's scythe would immediately reap his life

Liu Hao, it seems that you disagree. Hehe, even if you want to make a final stand, there is no need to use a worthless piece of scrap paper to intimidate others. The sharp mockery emanated from the mouth of the evil spirit

Looking at the tattered talisman handed over by the old man, Liu Hao truly wanted to burst out laughing. However, he restrained his laughter and reached out to take the talisman.

"Do you think a solitary being is a person or a spirit? Is there a distinction between a person and a spirit? Does it matter whether it is a person or a spirit?" the mysterious sage retorted.

Who are you, Your Excellency?" the commander asked with a hint of trepidation.

A cold wind of scarlet blew, and before Liu Hao appeared a man with red hair, a snow-white complexion, cold eyes, and a robust figure.

Old man, you have truly caused me great suffering

Ah! Let us treat a dead horse as if it were alive! I do not know the incantation, so I shall improvise! Evil spirits, begone, swiftly as commanded, I decree!" Liu Hao raised his hand and tossed the talisman into the air.

Young Master, I have told you not to be angry. I believe he is nothing but an old swindler! Your kindness has made him feel quite embarrassed, so he gave you a worthless talisman as a way to save face upon his departure

Isn't it better for you to kill him? To make progress, one must personally eliminate the shadows in their heart. Otherwise, it will become a hidden danger in the future

... ...

He removed the worn talisman from the strap around his neck, his hands trembling slightly

"Hehehe, Liu Hao, come and take your life!"

His actions caused the commander to pause, becoming fully alert. The evil spirit also froze momentarily

What did you say? The commander, filled with anger, retorted.

The spiritual energy has recovered slightly, but it is impossible to activate the Fire Lotus Talisman. The barrier talisman can trap evil spirits, but can it trap the leader? "Sigh! I hope that old man sleeping at the door hasn't deceived me; this is a talisman of immense power."

Liu Hao! You are doomed!" The malevolent spirit, in a fit of rage, transformed into a beam of red light and lunged towards Liu Hao.

The suddenly appearing mysterious master raised his hand and effortlessly eliminated the elite evil spirit, leaving both Liu Hao, who summoned him, and the commander standing opposite in shock

"Old Master, please eat!"

A commanding and authoritative voice resonated within the carriage. Each word sent a tremor through the soul.

What is there to ask about? The Central Plains are prosperous, people live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone is charitable. You alone cannot impoverish our Liu family.

Alright! Is it not good to do good deeds? I have no ulterior motives, so let it be! Liu Hao stood up and walked into the mansion, and within a few days, he had completely forgotten about the old man's affairs.

Good! I am giving you this opportunity. Regardless of whether he agrees or not, you have passed your assessment. The commander retracted his killing intent, crossed his arms, and coldly stared at Liu Hao

With a loud bang and a crash, the commander was directly struck out of the carriage, disappearing into the vast night.

Liu Hao was momentarily at a loss for words, and could only respond with a complex gaze and expression.

May I ask, esteemed elder, are you a human or a spirit

However, after a breath, the talisman slowly descended, ultimately showing no reaction at all

Fool! The commander shouted in anger, as he did not expect such foolishness from this subordinate

Damn it, I was played by him

"In the past month, I have been grateful for your hospitality. This talisman, please keep it safe, preferably wear it close to your body. It can provide assistance in times of life-threatening crises. Remember, it is assistance, not help."

The golden mist rolled across the floor of the carriage, with strands of golden silk dancing freely in the air. In this moment, the carriage, filled with a chilling atmosphere, became sacred.
