Zhang Wei's words echoed leisurely in the ears of the crowd and the ghosts.
Looking at his smiling face, without any sign of pain, and even without a trace of injury on his body, let alone Lu Lianfeng and the others, and the ghosts, even the instigators, the Mute and the Stammerer, found it hard to maintain their composure.
"A! Ba!"
The Mute cried out in shock.
[Ding! Mute… This is impossible!]
[Host gains System Points +250]
The Stammerer also spoke:
"Not hurt?"
[Ding! Stammerer… How is that possible? I used the power of the Hanba!]
[Host gains System Points +250]
As tattoo artists, they knew how powerful their Hanba tattoo was. They had not only borrowed the Hanba's physical body but also its extraordinary and terrifying power. They had once used the power from the Hanba tattoo to kill a Ghost King with a single punch.
But now.
It was one thing that Zhang Wei was not seriously injured by their full-power punch, but how could he be completely unharmed?
Thinking of this.
The Mute and the Stammerer frowned, staring intently at Zhang Wei:
[Ding! Mute and Stammerer… I understand, he must be at the end of his rope, just trying to bluff, so he's pretending to be unharmed. Heh! You think this can fool me…]
[Host gains System Points +620]
But in the next second.
Hearing the system prompt in his mind, Zhang Wei proceeded to do some calisthenics to warm up:
"Hiya, I don't know if it's my imagination, but after you guys hit me, I feel like the fatigue I've accumulated from spending time with my girlfriends these past few days has been relieved. My back doesn't hurt anymore."
As he spoke.
Zhang Wei performed a difficult waist-twisting move, then moved his hands forward, his waist rapidly lunging forward and retracting, like a high-speed train, saying:
"Damn, my waist feels so relaxed. Look, thank you, your hit cured my back pain from these past few days."
Mute and Stammerer: "..."
Lu Lianfeng: "???"
Hanba Tattoo: "..."
[Ding! Ghosts… Although they don't understand what this person is saying, that movement, it must be a posture used with a wife in bed.]
[Host gains System Points +3000]
At the same time.
The Mute and the Stammerer were a little stunned. The face-slap came too quickly. Just a moment ago, they had decided Zhang Wei was faking it, but now Zhang Wei was easily doing exercises, and he didn't look seriously injured at all. He looked more like he had just had a massage and his body had relaxed.
[Ding! Mute and Stammerer… Our punch, it massaged him like this?]
[Host gains System Points +620]
However.
There was no time to think. Seeing that Zhang Wei was unharmed, they exchanged glances and nodded. Then, the White Tiger tattoo on the Mute's left chest lit up, and a tiger's roar emanated, causing the nearby ghosts to bleed from all seven orifices.
Legend has it that the White Tiger is one of the five divine beasts, guarding the west, the god of war, and the master of killing.
"Ababa Ababa (If the Hanba can't kill you, then I'll add the power of the tattoo)"
As he spoke.
With the White Tiger tattoo glowing, the Mute, whose body was the color of a corpse, had tiger stripes appearing on his cheeks. His entire aura became sharp like a spear and a halberd, filled with killing intent. Just standing there, he was like a sharp weapon.
The Stammerer also made his move. The Vermilion Bird tattoo below his chest lit up, and phoenix cries resounded clearly. His entire corpse-colored skin turned red, and his blood vessels became deep red, as if not blood, but blazing magma was flowing through his veins.
"If… if I can't kill you, I'll burn you."
Seeing their auras rise again.
Zhang Wei's gaze fell on their tattoos, and he immediately said:
"Borrowing external help with tattoos again, huh? Are you guys playing dirty? Hey, but it's okay, if you borrow, then I'll borrow too."
As he spoke.
Zhang Wei let out a roar, and a classic scene unfolded. He unleashed his Super Saiyan 2 energy, tearing his clothes apart and revealing his upper body. Compared to the Mute and Stammerer's solid, bulging muscles, Zhang Wei's muscles were well-proportioned, full of strength, but not overly muscular.
However.
Everyone, ghosts and ghost hunters alike, their attention was not on Zhang Wei's physique. Their gazes were entirely fixed on the tattoos on his back.
"Tattoos?"
"Holy crap?! Is this person also a Yin Tattoo Master?!"
"Mr. Zhang Wei also knows how to tattoo?"
Both the ghosts and the ghost hunters, and even the Mute and the Stammerer, were stunned, their eyes showing unadulterated shock.
They saw.
A faint glow lit up on Zhang Wei's back, and then a willow tree tattoo appeared on his back. It was a lifelike willow tree, full of vicissitudes, as if it had undergone centuries of baptism. Although it was a tattoo, it felt alive. As a gentle breeze blew, the green branches and leaves of the willow tree swayed in the wind.
[Ding! Mute and Stammerer… Damn, this is a peer?! But what is that tattoo? I've never seen it before.]
[Host gains System Points +660]
Immediately after.
Another prompt sounded in Zhang Wei's mind:
[Ghost Back Tattoo unleashed, granting the host partial strength of Old Man Willow!]
Then.
Zhang Wei made his move, stomping on the ground. A circle of green light spread out from his feet. 138 Reading Network.
Rumble.
Under everyone's shocked gaze.
Zhang Wei stomped his foot, and the ground cracked like a spiderweb from beneath his feet. To be precise, thick willow branches shot out from the ground, pushing the ground apart. Thousands upon thousands of willow trees, like Cthulhu's tentacles, swung and lashed out at the Mute and the Stammerer.
At the same time.
A small sprout broke through the ground behind Zhang Wei. In the blink of an eye, it seemed like centuries had passed. The sprout grew into a towering willow tree, covering the sky and the sun, immense, ancient, and majestic.
The next second.
Ten thousand willow trees attacked. The Mute and the Stammerer roared. The former formed his fingers into claws, sharp like tiger claws, imbued with the terrifying power of the Hanba. With one claw, he tore through thousands of willow branches. The latter opened his mouth and spat out blazing flames, incinerating thousands of approaching willow trees.
However, the number of willow trees was too great.
Just as some were destroyed, more and more willow trees attacked, perfectly embodying the concept of inexhaustible vitality.
In response.
Zhang Wei stomped his foot again, as if tapping the ground with a cane. The willow tree behind him, like a guardian god, swayed without wind. Thick willow branches and leaves flew out, like green dragons flying out, lashing at the Mute and the Stammerer from all directions.
Bang!!
Under the dense attack, the Mute was struck on the head by a willow branch. Under the immense force, his entire body, like Zhang Wei before, was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily onto the ground in the distance.
It was at this moment.
The Mute's Hanba tattoo lit up, giving him a formidable physique that withstood the attack.
"Ababa!! (Damn it!)"
The Mute roared angrily as he stood up from the ground. He no longer cared about holding back his strength, having been completely provoked.
[Ding! Mute… I was beaten by another tattoo master?]
[Host gains System Points +270]
Then.
He roared, and a tattoo on his left arm lit up. It was a ferocious ghost, more majestic and awe-inspiring than ordinary ghosts, holding a chain. Compared to other tattoos, just one glance at this tattoo made people feel dazed, as if their souls were about to be snatched away at any moment.
"The Soul Reaper tattoo from hell."
Zhang Wei recognized the tattoo. This was the legendary Soul Reaper from the underworld, responsible for snatching souls and captivating spirits.
Immediately after.
With the Soul Reaper tattoo lighting up.
The Mute's body was enveloped in a chilling aura of the Yellow Springs. With a wave of his hand, Yellow Springs ghost qi surged out, making clanging sounds as it transformed into soul-snatching chains, reaching out to restrain Zhang Wei.
[Ding! Mute… If I can't kill you, can't poison you, then I'll pull out your soul. I don't believe your soul can be as troublesome as your body.]
