“Arrange? Arrange what?” Li Mazi was puzzled.

I quickly retreated to the corner of the corridor, which was rather spacious. I placed the scalpels on the ground and arranged them according to the shape of the Big Dipper, adhering a Ksitigarbha Talisman to each of them. After everything was prepared, I took out the chain of paper clips, unchained them, and scattered them in every direction.

Yin Xinyue screamed, “Brother Zhang, here he comes!”

The crackling noise of metal clanging came from the staircases. The warrior in golden armor was coming from there. He dragged a bloodstained broadsword and looked at us eerily.

Although we knew he wouldn’t kill us, I still felt scared while facing this faceless monster.

I asked Yin Xinyue to hold the Peach Soul Flower and told her to stand at the position of the North Star. I needed her to stand still and be the eye of the formation.

I held the Sirius Whip and made the doctor stand between Li Mazi and me to protect him. Of course, it was also to make him our bait.

We were ready to face the opponent!

The golden-armored warrior started to dash toward us and held his broadsword high. The scalpels and paper clips on the ground started to shake. Then, all of a sudden, he banged into an invisible wall. He stepped back and shook his head twice as if he was trying to recover from a concussion.

I heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Chief Star Seven Fiend Formation had worked!

The warrior barged into the wall again. The Ksitigarbha Talismans were partly torn, but they were still able to hold against him.

Yin Xinyue shrieked and showed me her hand. The purlicue of her hand that held the Peach Soul Flower was torn; she was bleeding.

As the eye of the formation, she couldn’t move. I had to hold in my emotions and said to her, “Try to put up with it!”

“I’m okay.” Yin Xinyue bit her lips.

The golden-armored warrior was blown several meters away. His soles rubbed on the ground, which sent sparks in the air. He seemed to be in a bad temper. He let out a strange growl from his empty helmet.

The doctor asked, “Brother, I gave you the money. Why is he still targeting me?”

“Have you ever done anything wrong?” I asked.

“No, I’m the sort of man that is content with my lot…” He contemplated then said, “Receiving money doesn’t count since everybody does that. We also accept the gifts to relieve the anxiety the patient’s family feels.”

“Oh, there is this meaning as well?” I was astonished.

Yin Xinyue pointed at the warrior and said, “Brother Zhang, look at his body.”

The warrior in golden armor began to flash. It seemed he couldn’t hold on for a long time. The Red Barbarian Cannon only killed evil people, which was its biggest weakness.

Generally, otherworldly items relied on torturing and killing to gather energy. Killing more people would make them stronger. However, the Red Barbarian Cannon was a principled one and only killed evil people. That was why the golden-armored warrior, the cannon’s spirit, couldn’t maintain its warrior shape for a long time.

The warrior knelt and flashed harder. I vaguely saw the picture of a cannon as well.

It looked like the image of the golden-armored warrior was blending with the image of a big cannon.

Eventually, he returned to his true form, which was a massive cannon that weighed about eight hundred kilograms. The black muzzle of the cannon was aimed at us.

“Don’t worry. Although it’s an otherworldly item, it has to follow physical principles. He can’t conjure a round shot out of thin air…” As soon as I said that, I felt that something was wrong. Blood was gushing out of the cannon muzzle.

I screamed hastily, “Get down! Now!”

The instant we all got on the ground, a bloody round shot exploded and passed above our heads. The Chief Star Seven Fiend Formation was forcibly broken, the seven Ksitigarbha Talismans were torn, and the scalpels were sent flying, stabbing deeply into the ceiling and walls.

This round shot was formidable!

Li Mazi shrieked and clutched his head, his butt pointing to the ceiling. “Little Brother Zhang, you just said that it didn’t have a round shot!”

The round shot hit the wall behind us and left a big dent. Blood and brain bits stained the entire wall. In addition, pieces of skulls and hair were scattered everywhere.

I was terrified. “This round shot was the head of the leader of the medical scammers!”

“What? His head was the round shot?!” Li Mazi was also scared.

“He’s leaving,” announced Yin Xinyue.

The cannon disappeared at the staircase. We all heard it descend the staircase.

I mused, This cannon can move alone. It definitely has a spirit!

I returned to my senses and remembered that there were three bodies on the floor underneath us. He was going to reload and shoot at us again!

The Chief Star Seven Fiend Formation was broken. I now only had the Peach Soul Flower and the Sirius Whip. Both of them wouldn’t be able to deal with this spirit.

I didn’t have the confidence to face this monster, so I could only ask everyone to run away.

“Can we use the elevator?” asked Li Mazi.

I shook my head. “No, what if that warrior cuts the cables? We would all be doomed.”

We rushed to the next floor and found an empty meeting room. I simply wrapped Yin Xinyue’s hand with a handkerchief and checked outside. It was around noon, and the sunlight was dazzling. If it was another otherworldly item, it would never dare to wreak havoc during the day like this.

However, the Red Barbarian Cannon was different. It was a top Yang item. Since it was noon, the item’s strength was at its highest.

The doctor was curious about our business, and he kept asking questions. I was annoyed as I was trying to find a solution. I asked him to move aside and keep silent.

“Li Mazi, can you call the rich woman and ask her to deliver something? We need the hair of a newborn baby, some shroud, some used towels from a married woman, locust tree roots, and black crow blood. They are all the Yin items we want to use.”

Right as Li Mazi was about to call, Yin Xinyue screamed, “No, don’t go there!”

I lifted my head and saw the doctor crane his head out of the door. He seemed to not want his life anymore. I shouted at him to stop, but he just laughed. “It’s okay. That thing seems to be gone…”

Before he could finish talking, we heard a strange, gurgling noise from his throat. He lowered his head to see his stomach and saw that the tip of a broadsword had stabbed him.

The golden-armored warrior kicked the door open and withdrew his sword. The door fell on the doctor’s body.

The doctor screamed for help, but the warrior kept stomping and pressing on the door. Shortly after, the doctor stopped making sounds. After a curt puff, he became meat dough. Blood and brain bits splashed on the ground. An eyeball spun and rolled to my foot, hitting my shoe.

The warrior in golden armor turned to me. I now had a very bad premonition. I hurried to call Yin Xinyue and Li Mazi to gather with me.

The warrior swept the broadsword in a horizontal motion; the conference table and many chairs were swept away. We had to dodge them as the chairs flew over our heads and hit the wall.

Then, the shining sword was aimed at us. I was scared and felt my back soaking with sweat… Things didn’t feel right.

The ‘evildoer’ had died already, so why did he want to kill us? Did he consider us the accomplices of that evil person?
