Chapter 52: Chapter 50: Let Me Handle It
The situation was dire.
Hongyan Xun and the others were not gaining any advantage.
It seemed they were on the verge of defeat.
Hongyan Xun knew that if they continued fighting, defeat was inevitable, so she prepared to retreat.
She turned around, ready to leave, only to see Mo Lin standing there with Fu Wansan.
Hongyan Xun felt awkward immediately.
She had just informed Mo Lin to leave with Fu Wansan.
Why wasn’t Mo Lin leaving?
"Why haven’t you gone yet?" Hongyan Xun asked Mo Lin.
"Why should I leave?"
If Mo Lin left, who would capture this ghost?
He still needed to capture it!
Leaving would mean a loss, a huge loss... a loss back to his grandmother’s house.
"Can’t you see it? This ghost is about to level up to Nightmare Level, we can’t beat it. If we don’t leave, are we just going to wait here for death?" Hongyan Xun complained to Mo Lin.
"What you said is wrong... it’s you who can’t beat it, not me." Mo Lin seriously corrected Hongyan Xun’s words.
"Are you trying to show off?"
"Fine... you’re so amazing, you do it." Hongyan Xun sneered.
"I’ll do it, then I’ll do it."
Mo Lin called out unhurriedly, "Chen Xi..."
As Mo Lin’s voice fell, everyone in the room stopped moving.
The ghosts that were fiercely fighting just a moment ago also stopped their actions.
The three-handed ghost no longer fought, it stared intently in Mo Lin’s direction.
A female ghost appeared in front of Mo Lin.
This female ghost seemed completely out of place compared to the other contract ghosts around.
Her demeanor and body were extraordinarily realistic.
When her gaze fell upon those present.
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
It felt like being stared down by the Death God.
"This oppressive aura... Nightmare Level..." Only then did Hongyan Xun realize that Mo Lin’s ghost was at the Nightmare Level.
This was the first time Hongyan Xun had been so close to a Nightmare Level ghost.
As a Ghost-Controlling Master, this moment made her clearly feel the immense gap between Horror Level ghosts and Nightmare Level ghosts.
It was an insurmountable divide.
After Chen Xi appeared, a look of joy flooded Zhuang Ruo and the others’ previously desperate faces; they hurried toward Mo Lin to seek his protection.
The three-handed ghost sensed something was wrong and turned to flee.
Even ghosts knew fear.
Just as the three-handed ghost turned to run.
In the next instant, Chen Xi’s arm pierced through the chest of the three-handed ghost.
The three-handed ghost instantly lost its ability to resist.
Chen Xi brought the three-handed ghost to Mo Lin and handed it over for Mo Lin to deal with.
Mo Lin decided to suppress the ghost.
"Congratulations on acquiring the Ghost Skill: Mimicry."
The Ghost Suppression Book gained another page of text.
"Name: Song Village
Level: Horror Level
Ghost Skill: Mimicry."
Netherworld Currency Production: 40 Yuan (per day)
Handled effortlessly.
Mo Lin delivered a dimensional strike.
Not even on the same level.
Capturing the ghost was a breeze, not difficult at all.
Hongyan Xun swallowed involuntarily.
This was so powerful.
She never thought the man in front of her was a Level 5 Ghost-Controlling Master.
There are also strengths between ghosts.
For example, Hongyan Xun’s ghost and the three-handed ghost, both are Horror Level.
But Hongyan Xun’s ghost couldn’t defeat the three-handed ghost.
Mo Lin’s ghost was a Nightmare Level ghost, likely a formidable existence within the Nightmare Level.
With just one move, it annihilated a Horror Level ghost.
Hongyan Xun shivered; if this ghost was against her,
she could also be instantly defeated.
Level 5 Ghost-Controlling Master represents strength.
Not only was Hongyan Xun surprised,
Fu Wansan was at a loss for words at this moment.
He actually invited Mo Lin to act as a bodyguard, just as a formality, he didn’t expect Mo Lin to be this fierce.
This was incredible.
Originally, Fu Wansan felt some trepidation towards Li San.
But after seeing Mo Lin’s power, he no longer feared Li San at all.
Perhaps, Mo Lin was their strength against Li San.
"Impressive, isn’t it?" Mo Lin asked Hongyan Xun.
"Impressive." Hongyan Xun nodded in response.
"Why stop me? If you hadn’t stopped me, I would have already taken care of this ghost." Mo Lin said again.
Hongyan Xun lowered her head, feeling quite dejected.
She didn’t know Mo Lin was a Level 5 Ghost-Controlling Master.
If she knew Mo Lin was a Level 5 Ghost-Controlling Master, she certainly wouldn’t have stopped him.
"I didn’t know you were so amazing..." Hongyan Xun lowered her head, feeling somewhat apologetic.
"Thank you for saving us, young man," Zhuang Ruo led the others in thanking Mo Lin.
If Mo Lin hadn’t stepped in, they might have died here today.
"Thank you, young man." The others echoed, expressing their gratitude to Mo Lin.
"Thanks, Mo." Fu Wansan also thanked Mo Lin.
"Don’t rush with the thanks, the matter isn’t resolved yet."
Mo Lin pointed outside and said, "Li San is still out there."
Hearing Mo Lin’s words, Fu Wansan and the others grew solemn.
The incident today had completely torn apart any pretense with Li San.
Li San wanted them dead, but they weren’t just going to let it go.
However, the most pressing matter now was safely leaving this place.
Li San was outside with his arms crossed, calmly watching the direction of the house.
He heard the sounds of fighting inside and knew that vicious ghost had started killing.
That ghost was fierce, impossible to subdue, or even contract.
So Li San had used special means to imprison the ghost in a jar.
Today, he released the ghost just to kill Fu Wansan and his group.
Once Fu Wansan and the others were dead, he would immediately enter the Yun Chuan business market and quickly establish a foothold.
Li San had even thought about how he would develop his own power in Yun Chuan afterward.
He couldn’t help but smile, he was very pleased.
When the fighting sounds in the house stopped, Li San knew it must be the vicious ghost had killed Li San and his group.
There should be no survivors in the house.
The next step was to find a way to seal that vicious ghost again.
Only sealing that ghost would be a bit troublesome..
As Li San was thinking about how to seal the ghost, an unexpected event occurred.
Fu Wansan and the others emerged alive from the room.
Li San even doubted his eyes, rubbing them to confirm that Fu Wansan and the others were indeed alive.
Among the group, it seemed one bodyguard was missing, presumably dead, and another had a severed arm.
The rest were unharmed.
Knowing that ghost was Horror Level,
how did it fail to kill them?
Li San was unwilling.
His gaze focused on Hongyan Xun.
If there was any explanation, perhaps Hongyan Xun killed the vicious ghost.
After all, Hongyan Xun was a Level 4 Ghost-Controlling Master.
In this group, she was the only one who could possibly have killed that vicious ghost.
"Fu Wansan, seems you’ve got quite the bodyguard," Li San muttered while staring at Hongyan Xun.
"Li San, your intentions are so malicious. Under the guise of discussing a trade, you actually wanted to kill us," Fu Wansan coldly snorted at Li San.
"If you don’t die, how can I develop in Yun Chuan?"
After all, everyone had torn off their disguises; no need to pretend anymore.
Let’s put it all out in the open.
Li San spoke without any concealment.
