Chapter 43

Borrow my head?

Ma Heshang was somewhat surprised: Can a head be borrowed? If it's borrowed, will it be returned? How many will be returned?

It's only because Ma Heshang has a simple and honest nature; if it were someone else, they might suspect that Qin Shaoyou had ill intentions and, in a fit of anger, might take the initiative to "borrow" Qin Shaoyou's head.

For example, the Eight-Armed Arhat thought this way.

After a moment of shock, he wondered what this kid meant. Was he admitting defeat and planning to offer a token of submission by using his companion's head? Tsk, tsk, would he really sacrifice his friend but not himself?

But very quickly, the Eight-Armed Arhat dismissed this guess.

Because Qin Shaoyou didn't look like someone who was about to admit defeat and surrender.

Who would fight so fiercely and strike harder with each blow if they were surrendering?

Even in the moment when the Eight-Armed Arhat was stunned, Qin Shaoyou seized the opportunity and shot a sleeve arrow at him. Although he deflected it, it still enraged him.

To the Eight-Armed Arhat, Qin Shaoyou was a freak.

This guy not only had muscles and bones that were extremely tough and durable, surpassing those of ordinary martial artists, but he was still unsatisfied and wore two layers of thick armor, turning himself into an iron turtle.

Not only that, he had weapons hidden all over his body.

Sleeve arrows and darts aside, what left the Eight-Armed Arhat speechless was that Qin Shaoyou even hid a dagger in his boot.

When he wasn't on guard and got kicked by Qin Shaoyou, he thought the damage wouldn't be significant, but he ended up with a bloody hole from the dagger.

Doesn't hiding a dagger in your boot hurt your feet? Why don't you hide a knife in your crotch too?

The Eight-Armed Arhat roared, broke the sleeve arrow, and launched another attack on Qin Shaoyou and Ma Heshang, his eight arms moving like a blur.

At the same time, his eyes were fixed on Ma Heshang's head.

The Eight-Armed Arhat guessed that Qin Shaoyou might want to borrow Ma Heshang's head as a projectile.

Like the flying head demons, who could make their heads suddenly fly and surprise their enemies, was this kid planning to use some magic to make Ma Heshang's head fly and bite people?

But isn't he a martial artist? When did he learn magic?

The Eight-Armed Arhat was filled with confusion and suspicion, which made him even more vigilant. He kept a tight eye on Ma Heshang's head, not daring to be the slightest bit careless, fearing another ambush.

After blocking the Eight-Armed Arhat's attack with his blade, Qin Shaoyou sidestepped to Ma Heshang's back.

Taking advantage of Ma Heshang blocking the Eight-Armed Arhat, he quickly pulled out a paper seal made of talisman paper from his chest.

After opening the paper seal, Qin Shaoyou didn't dare to touch the contents with his hands. He raised the paper seal and slapped its contents onto Ma Heshang's bald head.

When Qin Shaoyou moved the paper seal away, he saw that what was stuck to Ma Heshang's head were three strands of hair.

Seeing this, the Eight-Armed Arhat was even more confused and puzzled: Did this kid borrow the monk's head just for this? What's the point? Can a bald head become stronger with three strands of hair?

Before the Eight-Armed Arhat could figure it out, suddenly, Ma Heshang's bald head emitted a brilliant light!

The dazzling light radiated from Ma Heshang's bald head, like a small sun exploding!

Although it didn't last long, it was enough.

The Eight-Armed Arhat, who had been staring at Ma Heshang's head, instantly felt a sharp pain in his eyes and couldn't see anything.

Panicked, he hastily retreated, screaming, "Ah... my eyes!"

At the same time, his eight arms flailed wildly around him, fearing that Qin Shaoyou and Ma Heshang would take advantage of his blindness to attack, so he protected himself first.

Not only the Eight-Armed Arhat, but also several other evil arhats of the Black Lotus Sect were affected by Ma Heshang's dazzling bald head.

Among them, the Multi-Eyed Arhat, who was covered in eyes, as if cosplaying the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, was the most severely injured.

All his eyes were blinded, and many of them even oozed strange black blood.

He screamed in pain, "My dog eyes! They're blinded!"

Hearing this, the night guards of the Demon Suppression Bureau realized that the strange magical eyes on this guy's body, which could influence people's minds, were all dog eyes?

Suddenly, they felt the prestige was completely gone.

Compared to the evil arhats of the Black Lotus Sect, the night guards of the Demon Suppression Bureau, due to their positioning and angles, were less affected by Ma Heshang's dazzling bald head.

But they were still shocked by this sudden turn of events.

No one could have imagined that a bald head could be so bright!

For those who knew about this mystical item, like Xue Qingshan, the shock was even greater.

Because they had always thought this mystical item was useless.

The reason it was stored in the mystical items room was merely to prevent it from falling into the hands of ordinary people and causing harm.

This mystical item had been in the mystical items room of the Luocheng Demon Suppression Bureau for many years, said to have been left by a predecessor of the bureau.

This predecessor was extremely talented and his strength grew stronger and stronger, but his body hair gradually decreased as his strength increased. Finally, when he achieved great success and entered the upper third realm, the last three strands of hair on his head fell out.

These three strands of hair, carrying the predecessor's resentment and the energy left behind when he broke through to the upper third realm, became a mystical item.

The effect was that once stuck to the head, it would make the hair fall out and the head glow brightly, like the sun.

Wasn't this effect quite useless? How could it have such an effect in the heat of battle?

Surprised, Xue Qingshan and the others couldn't help but wonder how Qin Shaoyou had come up with this use.

They didn't know that Qin Shaoyou had gained this experience from playing games in another world.

Flashbangs, a common tool for sneaky players, were all too familiar.

So, upon seeing this mystical item, Qin Shaoyou didn't hesitate to bring it along.

Since Ma Heshang was already bald, the side effects of this mystical item would have almost no impact.

Xue Qingshan and the others were surprised, but they didn't miss this great opportunity. They immediately launched a coordinated attack on the blinded evil arhats of the Black Lotus Sect.

Qin Shaoyou and Ma Heshang were no exception.

They quickly caught up with the retreating Eight-Armed Arhat. Seeing his eight arms flailing wildly, Qin Shaoyou crouched down and swung his blade with all his might at the Eight-Armed Arhat's feet.

The Eight-Armed Arhat, unable to see, was completely unprepared and was directly injured in the leg, greatly reducing his mobility.

Ma Heshang took the opportunity to pounce, using his left shield to pin down the Eight-Armed Arhat's flailing arms.

At the same time, he continuously smashed his right iron hammer onto the Eight-Armed Arhat's strange and bizarre arms, splattering blood and bone fragments and producing a rhythmic "thud" sound.

As he smashed, Ma Heshang recited scriptures, as if he had returned to the temple, striking the wooden fish and doing his daily chores.

Qin Shaoyou also followed up, seizing the opportunity to cut off two of the Eight-Armed Arhat's less defensive arms, muttering, "I hate you tentacle monsters the most!"

Suddenly, Ma Heshang's expression became somewhat subtle, as if he was uncomfortable in his crotch and wiggled his buttocks a few times.

Seeing this, Qin Shaoyou was first taken aback, then thought of a possibility and couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn."

It turns out that hair can fall out from places other than the head?

Qin Shaoyou suddenly felt a bit guilty towards Ma Heshang.

At the same time, he secretly rejoiced that he hadn't used it on himself...
