Dao of the Bizarre Immortal

Chapter 172 - Disciple

“Master...”

Dan Yangzi immediately turned around and saw a familiar face.

It was Zheng Kun, the disciple he had cared about the most. Currently, Zheng Kun was wearing a green Taoist robe as he stood there without any hatred in his eyes.

Zheng Kun looked extremely real; it was as if he was actually alive.

But Dan Yangzi remembered that he was the very person who had crushed Zheng Kun’s head, and so it was impossible for him to still be alive!

After a moment, Dan Yangzi finally snapped out of it and roared in anger, “Who dares to try and trick me?! You are courting death!”

As he spoke, Dan Yangzi threw his sword high into the air. Then, he bit his fingers and drew a bloody rune onto the falling sword.

“The Seven Stars of the Heavens! Ruler of the skies! Pierce through all illusions and heed my words! Cut down all evil and chase them back up the mountains! Heed my orders and treat them as the supreme law!”

As he chanted, the sword turned black from the bits of talismans that stuck themselves to it from the Heavens and Earth.

Dan Yangzi held the blackened sword and stabbed it toward Zheng Kun.

On the other hand, Zheng Kun didn’t try to hide from his Master’s attack. Instead, he just stood there as he tried to say something.

But the moment Dan Yangzi’s enchanted sword slashed across Zheng Kun’s body, he smiled and disappeared.

After that, Dan Yangzi stood around in the cave warily. Everything had turned quiet.

Nothing happened even after he had waited for half an hour.

“Hmph! Looks like you know when to back off! I don’t care who you are, but if you cross me, then I will kill you!” shouted Dan Yangzi.

However, while Dan Yangzi was speaking fierce words, he was merely bluffing.

Dan Yangzi did not lower his guard and continued to monitor his surroundings as he slowly walked outside.

Once out of the cave, he immediately ran down the mountain.

He kept running and running until he arrived at the ghost town located at the bottom of the mountain; Dan Yangzi did not want to run too far away. He was afraid that his main body might not be able to find him.

He just needed to wait at a quiet place.

After choosing a location, Dan Yangzi started to use the items brought to him by the Wandering Gods to set up a formation.

“Blazing sun, flashing thunder~ Kill those who are cursed or try to change this formation~ Protect the righteous and kill the evil~ All evils shall perish~ Nothing is unstoppable, for everything can drown in water and burn in fire~ Heed my words and treat them as the supreme orders!”

Just as he finished chanting, the yellow flags planted on the various graves shook at the same time. Then, an invisible line connected all of the yellow flags and formed a massive formation.

Dan Yangzi sat in the middle of the formation and waited. “Hmph! I have all night, so let’s see you try and trick me again!”

Then, Dan Yangzi knocked over one of the gravestones before sitting on it and waiting.

He looked at the various mounds around him while worrying about his main body. “It might be annoying to deal with those three figures of the God of Happiness, but the main body should be strong enough to fight against them. Even if it can’t fight them, it should still be able to escape. Why is it still not here?”

As Dan Yangzi sat there and waited, he felt anxious; after a while, he used his sword and started drawing something on the ground.

“Master, what is this formation?”

When Dan Yangzi heard someone trying to butter him up, he scoffed. “Just sit there and watch. It is not yet time to teach you—”

However, he suddenly stopped speaking and slowly raised his head.

He was surprised to see Zheng Kun standing in front of him.

Zheng Kun was currently standing in the middle of the formation! Even though he had used so much time to set up this formation, it turned out to be useless!

“Impossible! Even if it can’t block you from entering it, it should alert me about your presence!” shouted Dan Yangzi as he swung his sword, which once more phased through Zheng Kun’s chest, leaving him completely unharmed.

As Dan Yangzi tried to figure out how to deal with his disciple, he suddenly heard the mound on his left move.

When he turned around, he saw his other disciple, Xuan Yin, standing there.

“Master, long time no see. I’ve missed you somewhat,” said Xuan Yin.

Just as Dan Yangzi took a step back in fear, two more men walked up to him and made a seal with their hands. Both of them had swords strapped to their back.

“Disciples Chang Ming and Chang Ren greet Master. Congratulations on becoming an Immortal!” said the two men.

But this was merely the start. More and more people started appearing from the surrounding mounds and started talking to Dan Yangzi.

Some of these people were not from the Zephyr Temple. Instead, they were people that he knew in the past.

“Dan Yangzi you thief! To think you would refine pills using live humans! I should’ve slapped you to death!”

“Baldy! To think that you would betray your own sworn brother!”

“Why did you sell our daughter? She was your wife! You fucking ingrate!”

“Why did you kill our father? Why?! My father even fed you the white noodles that we ourselves couldn’t afford to eat! How could you kill him?!”

As more and more people appeared within the formation, the voices became more and more chaotic. At this point, Dan Yangzi started panicking.

“What is this?” Fear welled up from the depths of his eyes as he lowered his head and took a deep breath. He recognized all of these people!

Finally, the fear in his heart exploded when he saw a big fat man appearing.

“ENOUGH!” shouted Dan Yangzi as he stomped and started waving his sword around.

Soon, the lines that formed the formation became white smoke that ascended to the Heavens.

At the same time, thunder clouds covered the skies and Dan Yangzi stabbed the sword into the ground.

Crack!

A huge amount of purple lightning illuminated his surroundings.

The purple lightning shot toward the formation before radiating toward the surroundings, turning everything it passed through, including the gravestones and the houses, black.

However, when Dan Yangzi raised his head, he was surprised to see that none of the people around him were harmed.

“What is this? Who are you guys? The Sitting Oblivion Dao?! You guys dare to go against an Immortal?!” Dan Yangzi howled at them.

Dan Yangzi was shaking with anger, when someone suddenly started laughing at him.

It was none other than the big fat man.

“Aiyo~ Isn’t this Yang Danzi[1]? You are already so old? Haha! I still remember how you used to kiss my ass and grovel on the ground just so you could learn from me!” said the big fat man.

The fat man's words made everyone else laugh.

All of them started laughing at Dan Yangzi.

“Mere mortals like you dare to mock me?! I am an Immortal! You need to respect me!” shouted Dan Yangzi.

At the same time, he started using all his techniques to try and kill the people surrounding him.

But it was no use. None of his methods worked.

After a while, Dan Yangzi sat on the ground, tired from using all the methods that he could think of.

After a while, he took a long piece of wood before stabbing it into his right and then his left ear; he intended to pierce his eardrums to stop the voices.

However, the sound of laughter just became even louder.

“AAAA!” screamed Dan Yangzi as he picked up a piece of stone and started whacking his head with it.

Just then, someone pushed through the crowd to come closer.

He was the only one who didn’t laugh.

Dan Yangzi recognized him. It was none other than Li Huowang.

Li Huowang approached the sorry-looking Dan Yangzi and chuckled. “Master, how does it feel occupying my body?”
