76: Chapter 76 I'm waiting to gather my strength, what are you waiting for? The cat-faced old lady is dead!
After dangling the carrot for so long, the employee is finally going to work.
The setup earlier was not in vain after all.
As the words fell.
Meeting Chen Yichuan's beaming expression.
Fang Qing's face looked extremely ugly, as if he had eaten something dirty, holding it in uncomfortably.
'Damn.'
'Sure enough, whenever someone worries about your safety and is crazily concerned and caring about you, it's definitely not a good thing.'
'Safety my ass. It turns out he's using me as bait. What a thick-browed, big-eared Chen Yichuan. He's so bad, his heart is terribly wicked.' Fang Qing muttered inwardly.
But it was only a mutter; after all, since he was already here, there was no way to back out.
Half a minute later, Fang Qing's bitter expression turned into a sigh: "Sigh, if not me, then who? Brother Chen, say no more, I understand."
"I only ask one thing of you... don't doze off."
Hm? Hearing Fang Qing say this, Chen Yichuan looked at him with higher regard.
Although there was still some helplessness and desolation on Fang Qing's face, he nodded in the end. It saved Chen Yichuan from wasting more words or using his fists.
"Rest assured, Brother Fang Qing. My hatred for the Cat-faced Old Lady is much greater than yours. As long as it appears, then this day next year will be its death anniversary."
Chen Yichuan nodded heavily and said in a deep voice. This was both a promise to Fang Qing, and at the same time, he had already declared the death sentence for the Cat-faced Old Lady in his heart!!
Hearing this, Fang Qing let out a long sigh of relief, looked around, and spread his hands: "So... Brother Chen, what do I need to do next??"
Since he couldn't escape, he might as well cooperate honestly. This was Fang Qing's consistent principle of conduct.
"Simple." Chen Yichuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile as he walked outside the corridor.
He pointed to the empty square downstairs: "Since we're setting bait and chumming the water, Qingzi, you just need to lie down in the middle of the square."
Hm? Following the direction Chen Yichuan pointed, Fang Qing was speechless. Just lie on the floor like this?
"Wait, no? Brother Chen, I'm just going to lie here like this? I don't need to do anything??"
"No need, just lie down obediently. Hm? Why haven't you gone yet?" Chen Yichuan glanced at Fang Qing, who was stunned on the spot and slightly fidgety.
After a while, Fang Qing scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly: "Uh, Brother Chen? You're just going to let me lie on the cold floor? Aren't you going to give me something?"
Hearing this, Chen Yichuan fell silent. 'The hell, he's actually being picky?' Chen Yichuan complained inwardly.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Yichuan kicked open the door to 302. Immediately after, with a bang, a two-meter-long mattress was thrown out, slamming into the center of the square and kicking up clouds of dust.
"Here's a blanket too, satisfied now?" Chen Yichuan shoved the blanket into the stunned Fang Qing's hands and turned back into the room, leaving only Fang Qing standing there in a daze.
Fang Qing smacked his lips, originally wanting to say that what Chen Yichuan did wasn't legal. Kicking open a neighbor's door, isn't that robbery? But on second thought, neighbor Old Wang wasn't around, so borrowing it didn't seem to be a problem. He sighed softly, leaped down, and lay neatly and decisively on the mattress, waiting for the fish to take the bait.
After finishing all this, Chen Yichuan sat by the doorway, closed his eyes to rest, and focused all his attention on Fang Qing.
... Just like that. In the quiet Xingfu Community, amidst the chirping of insects, one minute, five minutes, ten minutes passed. Until half an hour had gone by, there was still no movement.
This made Fang Qing, who was acting as bait, feel restless, looking around from time to time for fear that something dirty would appear in the next second.
At this moment, Chen Yichuan, sitting by the door of 303, frowned: "Damn it? Why hasn't this Cat-faced Monster appeared yet?" "It's almost ten o'clock, I still have to eat a late-night snack later."
Just as Chen Yichuan was muttering to himself, suddenly, a light breeze blew from behind him. 'Wind? How can there be wind in the room? Could it be...'
The sudden wind caused Chen Yichuan's alarm bells to ring loudly. His right hand pressed tightly against his waist, onto a rebar longsword.
Just at this moment, "Meow." "Young man..." The voice that suddenly sounded from behind was familiar yet terrifying, almost an instinctive reaction. Turn around!!
The Cat-faced Old Lady, a withered, familiar cat face suddenly appeared. Clang! The rebar longsword at his waist slashed out, falling directly onto the Cat-faced Old Lady's outstretched hands.
However, the expected flying flesh and blood did not appear; the rebar longsword instead passed through the Cat-faced Old Lady's hands, as if it had slashed into another dimension. Bang. The strike failed. The rebar longsword missed and slammed into the wall nearby.
Whoosh!! Chen Yichuan did not launch a second attack, but instead, holding the rebar longsword, quickly increased the distance between them.
Seeing this scene and Chen Yichuan's reaction, a flash of surprise crossed the Cat-faced Old Lady's stiff face, but it quickly dissipated, and she repeated that same sentence. "Young man, do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?"
Hearing this, Chen Yichuan immediately cursed: "I believe your grandmother's head, damn it!!" "The Cat-faced Old Lady is so insidious. You wouldn't bite the bait I set, but insisted on coming to catch me, the mastermind behind the scenes." "You're so bad."
As the words fell, this 'silky' little combo immediately made the Cat-faced Old Lady reveal a smile: "Hehe, young man, we meet again. I couldn't find you for a full fourteen days!!" "Cackle, cackle, you really know how to hide. Once I swallow you, breaking through to the Second Order will be today." "Cackle, cackle."
Breaking through to the Second Order? Chen Yichuan was slightly stunned, but quickly reacted... In other words, the Cat-faced Person in front of him was a First Order Monster. It wasn't even pretending anymore.
"Second Order? It seems you, this weirdo, really come from 'Mysterious Realm', hehe... Since that's the case, this young master will be generous for once and send you back." "Turn into my martial arts experience." Chen Yichuan laughed weirdly.
The next second, a powerful Qi erupted from within his body, wrapping around the rebar longsword in his hand as well. Martial Arts Stance — "Clouds Rise, Sword Moves", activate!!
It was a momentary change. The surrounding filled with Qi immediately made the Cat-faced Old Lady feel as if she were facing a great enemy, her pupils shrinking: "Qi, a martial artist!! Human, you can actually enter the Mysterious Realm??" "No!!" "You cannot kill me!!"
The Cat-faced Old Lady hadn't finished speaking. Chen Yichuan didn't bother talking nonsense with her at all; the rebar longsword in his hand, filled with Qi, instantly turned into a white slash and was flung out. Martial Arts Stance — Returning Cloud!!
Clang!! The rebar longsword slashed through the Cat-faced Old Lady's body, instantly causing her to crumble inch by inch. The Cat-faced Old Lady's intangibility ability was useless under the effect of the Qi. The rebar longsword cut across her waist, splitting her in two. Dead as could be.
At the same time, the thrown rebar longsword ignored the surrounding environment, slashing out twenty meters in one stroke before barely stopping.
Hah, hah. Chen Yichuan panted heavily, his lips curling up: "I was waiting for my cooldown, what were you waiting for??"
Mockery aside. Chen Yichuan leaped into the air and struck at the Cat-faced Old Lady's corpse again, throwing out two strikes of Great Mercy Palm. Kill confirmed, one must deliver a finishing blow. This good habit cannot be lost.
