Chapter 176 Domineering leakage
Then, a handsome and elegant young nobleman appeared before them and slowly walked towards them.
Behind this young nobleman followed a dashing and spirited woman.
With just one glance, the village chief had a feeling that these two people were definitely extraordinary!
The two men's aura alone made them impossible to ignore, and the villagers knew that they were not people they could afford to offend.
Instantly, the villagers who had gathered around quickly dispersed, making way for the two of them.
Upon seeing this, the village chief hurried over to the two of them. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the woman speak.
Who is the village chief of Shuitazhai?
Seeing that the visitor seemed to be looking for him, the village chief of Shuita Village stepped forward and cautiously asked Miss Duan, "I am the village chief of Shuita Village. May I ask what business you have with me, young lady?"
"So you're the village chief! Then I'll be frank. I'm an exorcist. I heard that your Water Tower Village is plagued by a fish demon, so I came here specifically to exorcise it! You can call me Miss Duan."
"Exorcise the fish demon?"
Upon hearing this, the village chief immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they weren't there to cause trouble.
He then looked at Miss Duan with a slightly apologetic expression and said, "I'm so sorry, Miss Duan, the fish demon of our Water Tower Village has already been eliminated by this Taoist priest..."
Miss Duan looked in the direction the village chief was pointing and saw the fake Taoist priest with a somewhat lewd look on his face, who was tightly holding a bamboo basket in his arms.
Looking at the Taoist priest's attire, Duan Xiao already had a general idea of the situation, but she still turned to the village chief and asked, "Has the fish demon been eliminated?"
"Yes, Miss Duan, the fish demon's corpse is still hanging there! Look over here..."
The village chief came to the manta ray's corpse, pointed at it, and said, "This is the corpse of that fish demon."
"Really?"
Miss Duan walked through the crowd, past Chen Xuanzang, and sniffed the fish demon's corpse.
"To me, it just looks like a bigger fish. There's not a trace of demonic energy about it..."
"Young Master Li, it seems this Taoist priest is another fake one!"
As soon as Miss Duan said this, the Taoist priest immediately became anxious.
"What nonsense are you spouting! Just because you say it's not a fish demon doesn't mean it's not a fish demon! I think you two are in cahoots with this beggar! You're also accomplices of the fish demon!"
"They even called me a fake Taoist priest! That's outrageous!"
The Taoist priest saw that Miss Duan was about to teach him a lesson, but when he saw the silver in his arms, he paused and called over the pockmarked Taoist boy next to him.
He stuffed the silver into the pockmarked Taoist boy's arms, rolled up his sleeves, and rushed toward Miss Duan.
"I'll teach you a lesson today! I'll show you why flowers are so red!"
The Taoist priest glared angrily, his cheeks puffed out like a frog's. He clenched his fist and slammed it hard at Miss Duan's high breasts.
"With your paltry skills? You dare to show off your amateur skills in front of me? With your skinny arms and legs, what can you do to me?" Miss Duan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile, as if she was mocking the Taoist priest for overestimating himself.
Immediately afterwards, her figure appeared beside the fake Taoist priest like a ghost. She kicked out and accurately struck him in the waist, knocking him to the ground.
Miss Duan's movements were fluid and seamless, executed in one go without the slightest hesitation.
Her seemingly delicate little feet contained astonishing strength.
The fake Taoist priest was kicked so hard that he collapsed to the ground like a tattered sack. Miss Duan did not let him off easily. She took a step forward and firmly stepped on his back, pressing him down onto the wooden board.
The fake Taoist priest tried to get up, but Miss Duan's feet were like a small mountain pressing down on his back, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't budge them an inch.
Seeing this, the villagers who were watching did not dare to intervene. They were completely different from the arrogant people who had bullied Chen Xuanzang. They never expected that Miss Duan, who looked so thin, would be so powerful.
The fake Taoist priest struggled for a while before remembering his three disciples. He quickly raised his head and shouted at the top of his lungs, "You three, hurry up and help this poor Taoist priest!"
His voice was filled with anxiety and anger, as if he were accusing them of not coming to help immediately.
However, after a long time, there was no response.
The fake Taoist priest grew increasingly angry. He raised his voice and shouted again, "Are we just going to stand by and watch others bully this poor monk?"
His gaze swept around, but he still couldn't see the three Taoist boys.
The fake Taoist priest was puzzled. He muttered to himself, "Hmm? Where is he?!"
He began to look around, trying to find their trail.
But after scanning around several times, I couldn't see them.
A sense of unease welled up in the fake Taoist priest's heart. He suddenly realized that those three scoundrels must have fled with the silver when they saw that things were not going well.
This is terrible...
Just as the fake Taoist priest was in despair, Miss Duan's voice rang in his ears again.
"Tsk tsk tsk, how pathetic. Your own disciple abandoned you and ran away. What do you have to say now? Fake Taoist priest?"
"..."
Faced with Miss Duan's mockery.
The fake Taoist priest simply pressed his face against the wooden board and remained silent.
At this moment, the villagers of Shuita Village finally realized the situation before them.
They realized that this so-called Taoist priest was nothing but a complete fraud, and that the so-called "fish demon" was just a means for him to bewitch people and swindle money.
Seeing the fake Taoist priest lying on the ground in a sorry state, the anger in everyone's hearts erupted like a volcano, and they wished they could rush forward and beat him up immediately.
Knowing full well that the fish demon had not yet been eliminated, they still made them risk swimming in the water. This was clearly a sinister plot to kill them!
This despicable fake Taoist priest is utterly devoid of conscience!
They not only want money, but they also want to kill!
"The fish demon hasn't been eliminated, and our Water Tower Village has no money left to hire exorcists to remove it. What should we do?"
"This is going to kill us!"
"Waaaah! My husband, I'm so sorry! I can't avenge you."
Upon seeing this, the woman whose husband had been eaten by the fish demon immediately knelt down and wept bitterly.
"Quiet!!"
Li Qing suddenly shouted, his voice like a thunderclap, echoing through the crowd and instantly shocking all the villagers.
The once noisy and bustling scene instantly fell silent. The villagers were at a loss for what to do. They stared wide-eyed at Li Qing, their faces showing astonishment.
At this moment, Li Qing's shout completely silenced the entire scene, and no one made a sound.
