Chapter 51: Chapter 49: Hot Commodity
At least his boastful demeanor made Mo Lin very uncomfortable.
If today had been under different circumstances, Mo Lin would definitely have made the bespectacled man pay a bitter price for his few words.
Hongyan Xun approached Mo Lin and reminded him, "That person just now is a Level 4 Ghost-Controlling Master."
"A Level 4 Ghost-Controlling Master with the temper of a Level 8 Ghost-Controlling Master?
It’s laughable." Mo Lin snorted coldly.
"That’s not what I meant. I meant you should be careful of him," Hongyan Xun corrected Mo Lin.
"You got it wrong. It’s not that I should be careful of him; it’s him who should be careful of me," Mo Lin said coldly.
"Alright, I can’t argue with you," Hongyan Xun said helplessly.
The conflict between Mo Lin and the bespectacled man was just a small episode.
Li San sat in his chair, legs crossed, his right index finger tapping the tabletop, pondering something.
"I’ll be straightforward. Our Li Family plans to develop in Yun Chuan; everyone knows the strength of the Li Family."
"If anyone dares to oppose our Li Family, I assure you their end will be miserable."
Li San’s words were filled with threats.
"I’ll make a concession; I just want five percent of the profits."
"No way." Fu Wansan’s attitude was firm, not budging an inch.
He knew very well that if he agreed to give Li San five percent of the profits today, Li San would demand ten percent tomorrow.
And slowly devour them.
Li San’s expression turned icy, "So there’s nothing more to discuss?"
Li San turned his head towards the others beside him, "What are your attitudes?"
Zhuang Ruo was the first to speak, "I share the same stance as Fu Wansan."
"I disagree as well."
"Disagree." Everyone expressed their disagreement.
Li San’s expression grew colder, and there was a murderous intent deep in his eyes.
This group of people simply did not know what was good for them.
"Fu Wansan, you really have no respect, don’t you?" The man wearing sunglasses behind Li San jumped out, angrily shouting at Fu Wansan.
"Do you really want to die?"
Mo Lin, the bodyguard, also appropriately stepped forward.
In terms of imposing presence, he had really never lost to anyone.
Li San somehow found a grayish-blue jar.
The first impression this jar gave was that it was tattered and old.
So old that the jar even had some gaps.
Fu Wansan and the others were bewildered, not knowing what Li San meant by taking out this jar.
Li San said nothing, slowly rising before turning and leaving.
At the same time, the bespectacled man followed and left.
All of Li San’s bodyguards left the room, leaving only Fu Wansan and his group inside.
"What does this mean?" Zhuang Ruo asked in confusion.
"Leaving just like that? What does this mean?" Fu Wansan was also completely puzzled.
While everyone was confused, something unexpected happened.
The grayish-blue jar Li San took out suddenly spewed out a large amount of black smoke.
Smoke quickly filled the entire room.
"Be careful."
Hongyan Xun exclaimed and immediately took out a Ghost Artifact for protection, while simultaneously summoning her Contract Ghost.
The bodyguards of the others also reacted quickly, summoning their Contract Ghosts.
These bodyguards were not to be underestimated.
They were all Level 3 Ghost-Controlling Masters.
Mo Lin was just about to rush forward when Hongyan Xun shielded him behind her and advised, "You protect Fu Wansan; leave this ghost to me."
Mo Lin paused reluctantly, staying next to Fu Wansan.
The black smoke in the air dissipated.
A ghost wielding a large black sword appeared.
This ghost had no skin on his face, only bones, with some residual blood on them.
The sword in his hand seemed to have been summoned by a Ghost Skill.
The moment this ghost appeared, the pressure was intense.
"A Horror Level ghost." A Level 3 Ghost-Controlling Master said with a heavy heart.
A Horror Level ghost was a Level 4 Ghost.
Facing a Horror Level ghost, these Level 3 Ghost-Controlling Masters felt significant pressure.
In the next moment, the Horror Level ghost was already before a Level 3 Ghost-Controlling Master, slashing down hard with its black sword.
A Level 3 Ghost-Controlling Master took out a Ghost Artifact to block.
The Ghost Artifact successfully blocked the ghost’s attack.
The Level 3 Ghost-Controlling Master just breathed a sigh of relief when his body was sliced in half.
Slashed at the waist.
The Level 3 Ghost-Controlling Master was in disbelief.
The ghost in front actually had three hands.
And each of its third hands held a black sword.
The Level 3 Ghost-Controlling Master had been careless earlier, leading to his demise.
Blood stained the entire room.
Fu Wansan angrily shouted, "Li San, this guy plans to kill all of us."
Seeing the ghost, Mo Lin not only was not afraid but his eyes showed a trace of greed.
"Name: Song Village
Level: Horror Level
Ghost Skill: Mimicry (Condenses a weapon for its own use, with the shape of the weapon depending on the user’s thoughts.)
This simply means it can condense the weapon shape it desires.
This Ghost Skill, Mo Lin really liked.
It’s like when you’re sleepy, someone gives you a pillow, or when you’re thirsty, someone gives you water.
This is a gem, isn’t it?
Seeing the ghost in front of him, Mo Lin was utterly tempted.
The ghost noticed Mo Lin’s lecherous gaze and couldn’t help but shudder; he felt Mo Lin’s gaze was somewhat perverted.
No normal person would look at a ghost like that.
"Take Fu Wansan away, I’ll hold this ghost back."
Hongyan Xun frowned deeply; she sensed a dangerous aura from this ghost.
The ghost before them was clearly at the peak of Horror Level, almost becoming a Nightmare Level ghost.
She wasn’t confident she could kill this ghost for sure.
"Leave? Why should we leave?" Mo Lin certainly wouldn’t leave; with the juicy prey almost in reach, why would he?
While the two were conversing, the ghost had already charged to the front.
Hongyan Xun ordered her Contract Ghost to fight the Horror Level ghost, and she also joined the battle.
The entire room became chaotic.
Tables and chairs were now in tatters.
"Everyone, let’s fight together." A Level 3 Ghost-Controlling Master called out first.
"Alright."
At this point, they had to unify against a common enemy for a sliver of hope.
Three Level 3 Ghost-Controlling Masters simultaneously used Ghost Artifacts to join the fight.
The battle was fierce.
Three Dangerous Level ghosts, one Horror Level ghost, four ghosts attacked another Horror Level ghost together.
Hongyan Xun and the others did not have the upper hand at all.
Even though they all used Ghost Artifacts, they could only slightly suppress the Horror Level ghost, without gaining any real advantage.
"Splat.."
A Dangerous Level ghost was slashed in two.
Simultaneously, another Level 3 Ghost-Controlling Master’s right arm was directly chopped off by the ghost.
This Level 3 Ghost-Controlling Master immediately lost combat ability.
The ghost with three hands held the upper hand.
Forcing Hongyan Xun and the others back repeatedly.
Fortunately, Hongyan Xun’s ghost was at the Horror Level, allowing them to withstand the three-handed ghost.
If Hongyan Xun didn’t have this Horror Level ghost, these people would have been instantly killed by the three-handed ghost.
