Chapter 28 End

  "What are you people?" Han Bangzheng pulled up the quiet Wen Jing who was about to be backlashed by the amulet and slowly retreated to the corner of the wall, asking.

  "Ah, you're the ones!" Dian Cao took a step forward, pressing in on the couple before him.

  "What do you want to do......" Wen Jing's face revealed a pitiful expression, her hands covering the places on her body that couldn't be covered as she asked Deng Cao. Perhaps, she hadn't thought of covering them up at all. By doing so, she was only trying to divert Deng Cao's attention and create an opportunity for her and Han Bangzhuan to escape.

  "Let's do it!" I took a step to the side, pulling Su Meili who was slightly stunned behind me for protection. Then I smiled slyly at Wen Jing. Playing deeply, playing mysteriously, has always been my thing. In other words, I actually really like to pretend to be cool!

  "Name your conditions. What do we need to do for you to let us go?" Han Bangzheng took a deep breath, pulled his hand out of Wen Jing's arm and asked me.

  "As the saying goes, a life for a life, a debt repaid in full. This is the cycle of cause and effect, and it's a price you must pay. Did you feel good when you were doing evil? Now that it's your turn, do you think you can negotiate conditions to get out of paying the price? Maybe that works with others, but not here." I said with a smirk, looking at Han Bangzheng and Wen Jing beside him.

  "Karmic cycle? Do you believe it? Haha! Thanks for the time to recover. Quiet, kill them! Use their souls to worship the great Amaterasu." Seeing that gentle methods wouldn't work, Han Bang decided to take action. In his eyes, I and Dengcao were just a pair of ignorant young people who didn't know when to stop. Killing Su Meili alone was killing, and killing us three was also killing, it's just slightly more troublesome.

  "It's not a matter of believing or not, but the cause and effect you've accumulated, you'll definitely have to pay it back. The people who died at your hands are your cause. Today, you're dying at our hands, that's your effect!" I said to Han Bangzheng, trying to stall for time while we chanted scriptures. Meanwhile, Su Meili cleverly retreated to the door, ready to open it and call for help at any moment.

  "Quiet, up!" Han Bangzheng made a handprint with both hands and threw it at Dengcao, who was reciting the scriptures. At the same time, he loudly gave Quiet the order to attack, who had long been ready.

  "Buddha's mercy..." Just as Han Bangzheng's palm was about to hit the body of Dengcao, Dengcao suddenly opened his closed eyes and chanted a sentence.

  "Save all living beings!" The lamp grass ten fingers flipped quickly and formed a Vajra subduing devil seal, meeting Han Bangzheng's half-baked hand seal.

  "Put down your butcher's knife!" The tone of Deng Cao's voice turned sharp, as if a golden eye was staring angrily at Han Bangzhuan.

  As he put down his butcher knife with a clang, Han Bangzheng's movements slowed significantly, and his eyes were no longer as fierce as before.

  "Instant Buddhahood!" The lamp grass was filled with a sorrowful and pitiful expression, as his handprint struck a loud "Hong" sound on Han Bangzhuan's chest.

  "Pffft!" Han Bangzheng spat out a mouthful of blood, hastily retreating several steps before barely dissipating the power of the handprint.

  "Bald donkey, how dare you hurt me?" Han Bangzheng wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth and furiously scolded Deng Cao.

  "This monk has three great taboos in his life. The first is women, the second is filth, and the third... damn it, I taboo someone calling me a bald donkey!" Lamp Grass was furious, raised both hands to wildly rub his shiny bald head, and strode towards Han Bang with large steps."

  "Leave some for the poor!" Just as Deng Cao was about to attack Han Bangzheng, Wen Jing also arrived in front of me. Seeing Han Bangzheng retreating after being injured, she wanted to turn around and go support him. But at this moment, I had already finished reciting the Ghost-Quelling Incantation. My hands were filled with a swirling blue electric light, just waiting for the right moment to strike. How could I let her safely go and join forces with Han Bangzheng to attack Deng Cao? With a loud shout, my palms struck out one after another. Two loud cracks echoed through the room, filling it with the smell of smoke.

  "Quiet..." Looking at the two black palm prints on Quiet's body, Han Bangzheng let out a loud roar. Without regard for his own safety, he raised both fists and charged towards Dengcao.

  "Namo Amitabha! Kasaya subdues the demon, Vajra's angry gaze. Heng!" The lamp grass joined his hands together in a prayer gesture and after finishing the incantation, he suddenly swung his arms forward. In an instant, a kasaya phantom radiating Buddha light swept out from his arms. On top of his head, a Luohan phantom stood guard with an angry gaze.

  "Plop!" A dull sound later, Han Bangzheng was knocked back again. This time, the blood he spat out had increased by a few more mouthfuls.

  "It's really a close call!" Lamp Grass wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said to Han Bang, who was lying on the ground.

  "What a pity that the monk's devil-beating mallet was taken away by his master, otherwise I would have beaten you into 180 holes." Lantern grass sighed with regret.

  "Bang!" Just as the lamp was lamenting, Su Mei Li took a swift step forward, picked up the table lamp, and smashed it heavily on Han Bang Zhong's head, who had already become somewhat dizzy. Then, she saw this woman inserting the half-lamp base in her hand into Han Bang Zhong's body, inserting and inserting!

  "Amitabha Buddha! You're too ruthless, female donor!" Lamp Grass looked at Han Bangzheng's chest, which was a mess of blood and flesh, and shook his head in dismay.

  "Hah, hahahaha! My karma is done, what about yours? Where's your karmic cycle? Hahahahaha!" Han Bangzheng spat out a mouthful of blood foam as he looked at Su Meili, who was repeatedly inserting the lamp holder into his chest.

  "As long as I can avenge Little Butterfly's death, I'm willing to bear the consequences. Go die!" Su Meili's eyes were brimming with tears, she tightly grasped the lamp holder and frantically stabbed it at Han Bangzhuan's body, her voice shrill with hysteria.

  "I'll be back! We will meet again! Hahaha!" Without exception, all villains won't be so easily eliminated. Before they disappear, they will always say this cliché phrase. After Han Bangzheng shouted out these words, a black aura burst forth from his face and swept away the dying Wen Jing, shattering the window as they escaped into the night sky.

  "Mew~" At this time, the lamp wick came out of the lamp grass's arms and called out a few sentences into the pitch-black night sky.

  "Dead cat, you're done, come out now. Where did you go just now?" The lamp grass bent down and hugged the lamp core into its arms, poking at its small nose with a smile.

  "Mew~" The lamp wick flickered with round, shiny eyes, seemingly calling out in grievance twice. Afterwards, it followed the collar of the lamp grass and crawled back inside again.

  "Alright! The dead can't be brought back to life, you should also learn to let go and move on. What are your plans from now on?" I said as I helped Su Meili up from the ground, trying to comfort her as she sobbed.

  "I think, starting tomorrow, I need to work hard. Xiaodie and my parents all need me to take care of them. Xiaodie is no longer here, I have a duty to support her parents until the end." Su Meili wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and said this very seriously.

  "What's the point of this again? Why not just find a man to marry?" I didn't know how to advise this stubborn yet lovelorn woman. After some thought, all I could say was something as bland as that.

  "Men? Ha! I've seen too many of them. Not many good ones, though! Of course, you two don't count. You're still boys, not yet men!" This woman, at this moment, still didn't forget to tease me and Dengcao with a couple of sentences. It seems her inner strength is quite strong. Seeing that she had just recovered from sadness, I won't hold it against her for saying I'm not a man.

  "Alright, everything is done. Shall we head back?" I shrugged and reached out to tidy up the slightly disheveled coat of the woman beside me.

  "Go back!" Su Meili sniffled and nodded at me.

  "What's going on here?" asked Lamp Grass, pointing at the messy room!

  "It's none of our business, the one who booked the room is Han Bangzheng, let the hotel go after him for compensation! Of course, that's if they can find him!" Su Meili reached out and grasped Poor Dao's arm, turning her head to say to Deng Cao.

  Walking along the quiet corridor to the elevator, Su Meili tilted her head and leaned lightly on my shoulder, whispering in my ear "Lend me your shoulder for a lean, it's been many years since I've leaned on a man's shoulder!"

  As we stepped out of the hotel's entrance, we closed our eyes and savored the gentle night breeze outside. Taking a few deep breaths, we calmed down the slight excitement in each other's hearts.

  "I'm going back!" Sumi Li slowly said to me as she pulled her hand out of the crook of my arm.

  "Have a good trip! Be careful on the road!" I tidied up the hair at her temples that had become slightly disheveled and whispered a reminder to her.

  "Let's hug, maybe after tonight we won't see each other again! But I'll always remember you, Lou Mengmeng, Dengcao!" Su Meili hailed a taxi, opened the door and suddenly ran back to say to me and Dengcao. This is the first woman in 10 years who has called me Lou Mengmeng. In an instant, this "Lou Mengmeng" pulled me back to my childhood, pulled me back to that narrow alley, pulled me back to those days when I and my friends took pictures together.

  "Take good care of yourself, we will definitely meet again." I patted Su Meili's back as I held her in my arms.

  "Pull hook?"

  "Pull!"

  "Grow up quickly, you two! The taxi carrying Su Meili drove forward for dozens of meters before suddenly stopping again. Su Meili stuck her head out of the car window from afar and waved her arms at me and Deng Cao, shouting loudly."

  "Su Meili, you must be happy!" I shouted at her with my hands cupped around my mouth, looking at Su Meili's somewhat blurry face. For this woman, for this stubbornly persistent woman who holds a different kind of feeling, I sincerely hope she can be happy!

  "It's over!"

  "It's over!"

  Looking at the taxi that had merged into the night, the driver let out a long sigh. And I, on the other hand, looked up at the stars in the sky and replied faintly.

  "What shall we do next?" asked Lamp Grass, stretching his waist.

  "Tear off the clothes and go back to settle accounts with Li Dongcheng. Han Bangzheng has been defeated, I believe that at this moment his granddaughter should also be fine!" I tore off the sleeve of the Armani suit on my body with a loud rip, saying to Dengcao.

  "Why tear clothes?" asked Deng Cao in confusion.

  "It's only like this that we can show that we took a great risk to eliminate the root of the disaster that harmed his granddaughter. It's only like this that he will give us money willingly!" With a ripping sound, I tore off half of my pant leg as well!

  "You're indeed very sinister!" Lamp Grass said with a contemptuous gaze. At the same time, there was a ripping sound as he tore his suit in two!
