"Keep your damn mouth shut! Go to hell!" David Yu roared, suddenly springing to his feet. With a wave of his hands, a chilling wind swept through the private room, and his pupils turned a terrifying blood-red. Goldtooth and the armed thugs at the door blanched in fear, while May, who was right beside David Yu, screamed in terror.
"Damn it! Open fire—kill that freak!" Goldtooth shouted in panic, ordering the armed thugs to shoot. At his command, they pulled their triggers—"rat-tat-tat-tat!"—bullets sprayed toward David Yu inside the room. May was so frightened her face went pale, instantly regretting her greed and wishing she hadn't tried to make a quick buck. Now, she was about to become a ghost alongside David Yu!
But David Yu let out a monstrous howl, flexed his arms, and a thick cloud of black mist erupted from his body, quickly engulfing the entire room. The bullets vanished without a trace as soon as they hit the mist. Goldtooth and his thugs turned ashen and retreated in terror, while May screamed and promptly fainted.
Seizing the moment, David Yu's bulky frame moved with ghostly speed, lunging to the door and grabbing two armed thugs by the neck. The strength in his hands was monstrous—he twisted hard—"crack, crack!" Their necks snapped, their bodies convulsed, heads slumped, dead on the spot!
The two surviving thugs with Goldtooth turned pale and bolted for the exit. David Yu darted after them, but just then, a flash of dazzling green light appeared—a barrier materialized in front of him, blocking his attack. The barrier pulsed with a strange power, forcing David Yu to stagger backward, shielding his eyes.
"Heh heh heh... Well, well! One vengeful soul and five little ghosts—'Six Ghost Possession' combined with spiritual power! No wonder you're such a monster! This is quite the catch! Interesting, very interesting—" A harsh, ancient voice echoed as the trembling figure of Grandmaster Draco appeared before David Yu.
"Old man, who—who the hell are you? Why are you meddling in this mess?" David Yu sensed the overwhelming, bizarre energy radiating from Grandmaster Draco and cried out in alarm.
"Heh heh... My title is Grandmaster Draco, a Thai Warlock. In your Chinese terms, that's a kind of sorcerer. My lifelong pursuit is to reach the highest realm—a Spirit Grandmaster! And monsters like you are my favorite. A Six Ghost Possession like you is rare indeed. Once I capture and refine you, my power will skyrocket! So, get ready to become my sacrifice!" Grandmaster Draco stared at David Yu, his nearly shut eyes suddenly opening to reveal a gleaming red light—obviously, David Yu's spiritual power had piqued his interest.
"A Thai Warlock! Damn it—" David Yu was secretly terrified. As a monster himself, he knew just how terrifying these warlocks were—they dealt with ghosts and poisons, mastering all sorts of dark arts! Especially the skilled ones, they were even scarier than the worst demons in hell. And Grandmaster Draco was obviously one of the most powerful!
"Then you can die first!" David Yu howled, swinging his arms as a black mist shot out like a mad serpent, surging toward Grandmaster Draco. David Yu was determined to strike first!
But Grandmaster Draco didn't budge. When the black mist reached him, he calmly tossed his gleaming cane into the air. Instantly, the cane radiated thousands of dazzling green rays, spinning in midair and dispersing the mist, absorbing it completely.
Seeing this, David Yu was shocked. He howled again and lunged straight at Grandmaster Draco, knowing he couldn't win with spiritual power—maybe a physical brawl would give him a slim chance!
Grandmaster Draco still didn't move. He began chanting a bizarre incantation, his voice screechy and uneven like a night owl. Suddenly, the spinning cane transformed into a giant, multicolored venomous snake, five meters long and as thick as an arm. It dropped down and wrapped around David Yu, binding him tightly. No matter how he struggled, the snake only squeezed harder, making his bones creak. David Yu's face turned purple—if he didn't have the protection of Leon Chang and the Five Cursed Ghosts, that snake alone would have killed him!
Grandmaster Draco strolled over to David Yu, bent down, and sniffed his aura with his hooked nose, nodding with satisfaction. He sneered, "Heh heh heh... Six Ghost Possession, full of vengeful energy! Not bad, not bad. Once I refine you with thousand-year corpse oil and extract your spiritual power—heh heh..."
Then Grandmaster Draco turned to Goldtooth and the others, saying, "Keep an eye on him. Now I'm off to meet a real master! Once I take down that guy, I'll surpass my senior brother! Heh heh—"
With that, Grandmaster Draco slowly walked toward the innermost private room. He could sense the overwhelming power waiting for him there—his most dreaded opponent.
Goldtooth approached David Yu, nervously eyeing the snake wrapped around him. He sneered, "Heh heh—David Yu, I forgot to tell you some good news. Your ex-wife Fiona Chin and her new boy toy Howard Kay are on their way to Mai Zayan. If you're lucky, maybe you'll get to see her and that pretty-boy one last time! Heh—just thinking about Fiona's skills in bed makes me want to go a few rounds with her! Damn, just thinking about that woman gets me hard!"
