Peerless Bodyguard of a Stunning Beauty

When the Toad Demon Principal heard that Zhao Rong and the Black Ghost were after his life, he burst into loud laughter.

”Just the two of you want to take my life? That’s a joke!” he boomed. ”Zhao Rong, don’t forget that you’re just a lowly security guard. And Black Ghost, have you forgotten how I defeated you, banished you, and cursed you over a decade ago? How I entered your body and turned you into what you are now?”

Upon hearing this, the Black Ghost glared at the Toad Demon Principal and retorted, ”Over a decade ago, I was weak and alone. Now, I am exceedingly clever and wise. Moreover, I have the martial hero Zhao Rong, who has come specifically to assist me.”

Zhao Rong also looked at the Toad Demon Principal and deliberately provoked him, saying, ”Toad Demon Principal, although we’re just a ghost and a security guard, we’ve still got to be stronger than a warty toad like you, right?”

With that, Zhao Rong and the Black Ghost burst out laughing, mocking the Toad Demon Principal.

Listening to their mockery, the Toad Demon Principal became so enraged that his face flushed crimson. He immediately lashed out.

”Little security guard, take my punch!” he roared. ”High-level Yellow-rank Martial Technique, Ground Skill Fist!”

As he spoke, the Toad Demon Principal struck out with the Ground Skill Fist.

But quicker than the eye could follow, Zhao Rong ducked. He not only dodged the Toad Demon Principal’s Ground Skill Fist but also executed a Scorpion Tail Swing, kicking the principal in the stomach and knocking him to the ground.

The Black Ghost seized the opportunity, hoisting a nearby office desk and smashing it down on the Toad Demon Principal.

The once-arrogant Toad Demon Principal, who had been sneering just a moment ago, was now a bloody mess, having been kicked down by Zhao Rong and then smashed with the desk.

Seeing the Toad Demon Principal in such a sorry state, Zhao Rong and the Black Ghost looked at each other and sneered, ”To think this idiot claims to be a Level 35 cultivator. He’s a disgrace to the title.”

The Toad Demon Principal staggered up from the ground, wiping blood from his forehead. He stared in terror at the security guard and the ghost before him.

”Little security guard, are you a cultivator too?” he stammered. ”Black Ghost, has over a decade of living underground not destroyed your Martial Arts?”

Without mincing words, Zhao Rong replied, ”I may be a security guard, but who says a guard can’t be a Level 27 cultivator?”

The Black Ghost struck the White Crane Spreads Its Wings pose and said in a seemingly invincible tone, ”Toad Demon, even though you cursed my body, I have a Dragon Crystal. After all these years, I’ve only dropped ten levels.”

When Zhao Rong overheard that the Black Ghost also had a Dragon Crystal, just like him, he asked curiously, ”Black Ghost, you have a Dragon Crystal too?”

The Black Ghost touched his abdomen, smiled, and said, ”This Dragon Crystal was a gift from Ma Jie of the Dragon Clan. I encountered him by chance in a secret chamber after I became a ghost. Do you have one as well? Who gave it to you?”

Hearing the name Ma Jie of the Dragon Clan, Zhao Rong couldn’t help but think of the others he had met. There was Ma Long from the Dragon Cave in the woods of the manager training center, and Mark from the Dragon Cave on the mountainside of the True Martial School. With that, Zhao Rong began to explain the origin of his Dragon Crystal.

”To tell you the truth,” he said, ”I swindled this Dragon Crystal from Mark of the Dragon Clan.”

Hearing Zhao Rong so candidly admit the truth, the Black Ghost felt too embarrassed to hide it any longer. ”Actually,” he confessed, ”I swindled this one from Ma Jie of the Dragon Clan, too.”

When the Toad Demon Principal heard that Zhao Rong and the Black Ghost had managed to trick the Dragon Clan out of their Dragon Crystals, his voice filled with jealousy and envy.

”You two little bastards, you each have a Dragon Crystal?

”Well then, I’ll just kill both of you today, take your Dragon Crystals, and enhance my own cultivation level!”

With that, the Toad Demon Principal let out a roar, ”Mid-level Mysterious-rank Martial Technique, Spring Tongue!”

As he shouted, his tongue shot out from his mouth like a spring, right at Zhao Rong.

Seeing the Toad Demon’s tongue shooting toward him, Zhao Rong was stunned for a moment. No matter how incredible your tongue is, can it really be tougher than a knife?

With that thought, Zhao Rong casually detached a fruit knife from the keychain at his waist and aimed it at the approaching tongue.

As Zhao Rong braced himself, ready to slice the Toad Demon’s tongue, the demon was eyeing him and snickering inwardly. You foolish little security guard, don’t you dare underestimate my tongue. Once it hits you and sticks to you, you can forget about escaping. Just you wait until I transform, then I’ll eat you bit by bit!

Just as the Toad Demon Principal was chuckling to himself, he suddenly felt a hot sensation on his tongue. Liquid was running down it, and it felt like it was being split down the middle.

With incredible speed, Zhao Rong had grabbed the Toad Demon’s tongue with one hand and, wielding the fruit knife with the other, began to slice it right down the middle. He displayed his incredible, surgeon-like precision with his Sword Technique.

When the Toad Demon saw that his tongue had not only failed to hit and stick to Zhao Rong but was instead being slit open by a knife, he was utterly dumbfounded.

The Toad Demon Principal frantically retracted his tongue, slurring his words. ”My Spring Tongue has killed countless martial arts experts! How can it be useless against a little security guard like you?”

Zhao Rong seized the opportunity and, with a single slash, cut the demon’s tongue clean off.

He smiled and said, ”Sorry, Toad Demon Principal, I forgot to tell you. I may look weak and a bit sleazy, but I’ve had a Special Ability since I was a child. My reaction speed is a hundred times faster than the world’s fastest animal. So, when your tongue shot toward me at supersonic speed, everything looked like it was in slow motion to me.”

His tongue severed, the Toad Demon Principal spewed blood from his mouth, his words now even more slurred. ”Damn it! I thought my Spring Tongue, a Mid-level Mysterious-rank Martial Technique, was the fastest technique in the world! I never expected your reaction speed to be even faster than my tongue’s strike! Kid, you got lucky. Even a sage like me, who plans for a thousand contingencies, can slip up once. I just never thought your reaction speed would be faster than mine.”

Having said this, the Toad Demon Principal used his trump card: the High-level Mysterious-rank Martial Technique, Toad Skill.

When the Black Ghost saw the Toad Demon Principal finally unleash his ultimate technique, he immediately warned Zhao Rong, ”Zhao Rong, be careful! Back when I was a Level 40 cultivator, I was defeated by his Toad Skill!”

Hearing that the Toad Demon Principal’s Toad Skill was so formidable, Zhao Rong immediately clenched his fists, preparing to use his own High-level Mysterious-rank Martial Technique, Remote Bull Punch.

Zhao Rong was eager to see whose High-level Mysterious-rank Martial Technique was stronger: his Remote Bull Punch or the Toad Demon Principal’s Toad Skill.
