Chapter 53: Chapter 51: I Wonder How You Would Respond
"If you obey me, I can spare your lives, but you people are ungrateful and insist on opposing me," Li San said coldly.
"Obey you? Become your dog?"
Fu Wansan angrily retorted, "You’re dreaming."
Beside him, Zhuang Ruo agreed, "Though your Li Family is powerful, don’t think you can do whatever you want."
"Moreover, you’re just an adopted son of the Li Family; stop flaunting their status to intimidate us."
Since everyone already tore their masks off, Fu Wansan didn’t mind using harsh words.
Fu Wansan’s words seemed to hit a sore spot for Li San.
Li San’s pupils suddenly contracted, and the murderous intent in his eyes was unmasked.
"You bastard, you’re courting death," the glasses-wearing man behind Li San stepped forward and cursed at Fu Wansan.
"Young master, you can rest. Leave these people to me."
Li San nodded, advising Nantian slowly, "Be gentle, don’t kill Fu Wansan; I want to torture him to death slowly."
Nantian licked his lips, revealing a vicious smile, "Alright, I understand."
Hongyan Xun stepped forward, ready to take on Nantian.
Mo Lin placed a hand on Hongyan Xun’s shoulder and said slowly, "There’s no need for you to act; this one’s mine."
Mo Lin had previously clashed with Nantian inside the room.
Nantian had provoked Mo Lin multiple times.
Mo Lin had to act personally.
Seeing Mo Lin step forward, Nantian disdainfully taunted, "Kid, are you so eager to die?"
Nantian was so confident because he didn’t feel the oppressive aura of a Ghost-Controlling Master from Mo Lin.
He deemed Mo Lin merely an insignificant Ghost-Controlling Master.
Or perhaps Mo Lin’s contract ghost was very weak, hence the absence of that oppressive aura.
In his eyes, Mo Lin was even inferior to Hongyan Xun.
"Heh..." Mo Lin smiled coldly.
Nantian continued, "Why pretend? You don’t even have the oppression that a Ghost-Controlling Master should have; clearly, your contract ghost must be very weak, right?"
"A weak Ghost-Controlling Master, yet you dare to challenge me? It’s utterly ridiculous."
"Ghost-Controlling Master? Who said I was a Ghost-Controlling Master?" Mo Lin still sneered.
Ghost-Controlling Master was just the term this group used for Ghost-Controlling Master.
Mo Lin was not a Ghost-Controlling Master.
If a professional term had to be used for her,
then Mo Lin was from the Yin Department.
It’s just that Mo Lin wasn’t within Nantian’s understanding.
"Talking won’t help; let me show you my strength."
Nantian summoned his contract ghost.
A male ghost without features floated before Nantian.
"Level four ghost, horror-level contract ghost."
"Even if you strive your entire life, you’ll never obtain a horror-level ghost, understand?"
"Showing off?" Mo Lin said coldly.
"Yes, I am showing off."
"This is a horror-level ghost, a rarity some will never achieve in their lifetime."
Nantian referred to Mo Lin as one of those people.
"Is that so?"
"A horror-level ghost, I indeed don’t have..." Mo Lin’s words were cut off by Nantian.
"You don’t even have a horror-level ghost; what do you have to fight me with? Without a horror-level ghost, you dare to challenge me?"
"Are you a fool?" Nantian boasted.
"I don’t have a horror-level ghost, but I have a nightmare-level ghost."
Mo Lin shouted a name with great momentum, "Chen Xi..."
A red fog surged forth.
In the deepest part of the fog stood a female ghost.
This female ghost had delicate features, white skin, floating in mid-air.
Forming a stark contrast to Nantian’s ghost.
The uglier a ghost, the stronger it is...
Similarly, the prettier the ghost, the stronger it is too.
The two are similar but represent different systems.
The uglier the ghost, the stronger it’s a characterization of lower-level ghosts.
The strength of lower-level ghosts is reflected in ugliness.
There’s a saying that describes it as making faces.
But powerful ghosts are different; powerful ghosts are relatively beautiful, it’s a manifestation of strength.
Chen Xi is already beginning to transform, evolving towards prettiness.
The more realistic the body, the smoother the skin looks, proving the ghost’s strength.
When Chen Xi appeared, the gap widened visibly.
Both are ghosts.
But compared to Chen Xi, Nantian’s ghost fell short.
Completely not on the same level.
"Nightmare-level..." Nantian squeezed out these three words through his teeth.
Although unwilling to believe, the ghost in front of him was indeed a nightmare-level ghost.
The dreadful aura was undeniable.
"Trying to scare me with just a nightmare-level ghost? Ridiculous." Nantian stubbornly taunted Mo Lin.
Though apprehensive inside, his mouth remained defiant.
"No, no..."
Mo Lin waved his hand coldly, "Who said I only have one nightmare-level ghost?"
"Chu Xing..."
Another nightmare-level ghost appeared beside Chen Xi.
With the appearance of two nightmare-level ghosts, the surrounding Ghost-Controlling Masters visibly changed their expressions.
"This guy is this strong?" Hongyan Xun was very surprised to see Mo Lin had two nightmare-level ghosts.
No wonder she was surprised.
Normally, nightmare-level ghosts are rare.
It could even be said that before Mo Lin, Yun Chuan had never had a Ghost-Controlling Master with a nightmare-level ghost.
Even saying Mo Lin was the strongest Ghost-Controlling Master currently in Yun Chuan would not be an exaggeration.
She misjudged...
Hongyan Xun knew Mo Lin and had interacted with her, but she never thought Mo Lin was a level five Ghost-Controlling Master.
"Two..."
Seeing the two nightmare-level ghosts, Nantian became timid.
He could barely handle one nightmare-level ghost.
Facing two nightmare-level ghosts, he had no chance.
Li San, on the side, was also taken aback.
He panicked a bit, but he quickly regained composure when he looked up at the sun outside the sunshade.
"Scared?"
"You want to kill me?"
"With that trash ghost, you want to kill me?"
Mo Lin directly started mocking, just to humiliate Nantian.
"What are you? Daring to challenge me?"
Nantian frowned tightly but did not retort.
To still bluff now would make him look like a clown.
"If I had three nightmare-level ghosts, I wonder how you would react?"
With Mo Lin’s words,
another nightmare-level ghost appeared.
Hong Ye, with disheveled hair, silently appeared behind Nantian.
Nantian shivered in fear.
Compared to the previous two ghosts, Hong Ye seemed weaker.
Of course, it depends on who it’s being compared to.
If it’s against Nantian’s ghost, Hong Ye could easily overwhelm it.
Three nightmare-level ghosts appeared in the courtyard.
Everyone present was tense.
Although Hongyan Xun knew Mo Lin wasn’t an enemy,
seeing three nightmare-level ghosts, she still remained cautious.
Fear...
It was genuine fear.
Even knowing Mo Lin wouldn’t harm her, seeing his three nightmare-level ghosts still invoked fear.
Surrounded by three nightmare-level ghosts, Nantian was sweating from his nervous forehead.
