Chapter 745 - 743: Yellow Springs Technique
Mo Lin confronted Huang Shang.
Both were using Netherlord power, but their power was completely different.
Mo Lin’s power was as fierce and intense as a blazing fire.
Huang Shang’s power was like a candle in the wind.
In Mo Lin’s palm, the Netherlord power condensed into a massive sphere with a diameter of five meters, which he smashed towards Huang Shang.
The Netherlord sphere in Huang Shang’s hand was only the size of a watermelon.
The two forces collided.
The left side of Huang Shang’s body was directly pierced by the Netherlord power, and half of her body was gone.
No wailing... no complaints.
Huang Shang was left standing with only the right half of her body.
The yellow sand-colored Ghost Qi gradually faded from her body.
The power of the Netherlord Realm completely collapsed.
Huang Shang’s gaze was icy cold.
"I, Huang Shang, was born in Yellow Springs, governing Yellow Springs Ghosts.
Creating the Yellow Springs Book, seizing fate, seeking opportunities.
Is today the day I die here?"
If she died now, she wouldn’t be reborn.
She carefully recalled her second life.
The only mistake was letting Mo Lin live.
The most regrettable thing was that she couldn’t steal Mo Lin’s fortune and body.
Otherwise, she would definitely be stronger than she is now.
Unresolved hatred...
It’s simply unresolved hatred.. Mo Lin looked at Huang Shang, his rage not fully vented.
He had prepared so much power.
To confront Huang Shang, he learned the Celestial Monarch Xu’s legacy and mastered the Ghost Spirit Body.
He even learned Immortal Technique.
Mo Lin’s original plan was to defeat Huang Shang with peak strength, fair and square.
Reality was different from his expectations.
Perhaps driven by fate.
Mo Lin, whose strength was not at its peak, encountered a dying Huang Shang.
The sword planted in the ground emitted a warm glow.
It was like candlelight, covering the surroundings.
"Mo Lin, let me go today.
We’ll put our grievances to rest." Huang Shang’s attitude softened.
At least, she wasn’t as aggressive as before.
"No." There was no extra consideration.
Mo Lin resolutely refused.
"Mo Lin, you manage Netherworld Ghosts, I manage Yellow Springs Ghosts.
Neither of us will have a good ending.
Rather than kill each other, better to give each other a way to live." Huang Shang said to Mo Lin again.
"Afraid to die?" Mo Lin said coldly.
"Yes."
Huang Shang nodded truthfully, "I am afraid to die.
I don’t want to die."
"I worked hard to be reborn.
I’m unwilling to die like this.
I don’t want to die.
I still have ties.
Afraid to die.. she is too afraid to die.
If she dies here now, Huang Shang will not be reborn.
"Now you realize you’re afraid to die?
What were you doing earlier?"
Mo Lin’s mouth curled into a cold smile.
"Years ago, when you led Yellow Springs Ghosts to hunt me down, why didn’t you think to give me a way out?"
"When you commanded Yellow Springs Ghosts, captured me to the Yellow Springs Realm, intending to kill me, why did you not consider leaving me alone?"
A bright light glimmered deep in Huang Shang’s eyes.
"But.. I didn’t kill you, did I?"
"Not killing me meant you intended to refine me, take over my body." Mo Lin directly exposed Huang Shang’s intentions.
If it weren’t for Wu Wei freeing Mo Lin.
Mo Lin might have been dead already.
"You arranged Su Yunling, on Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain to team up with the Three Immortals and the Evil Buddha intending to put me to death.
At that time, why didn’t you think to spare me?" Mo Lin questioned Huang Shang.
"Truly fate... I shouldn’t have come here... but here I am.
Unexpectedly allowing me to meet you in a weakened state."
Mo Lin was truly not exaggerating.
Previously, according to Qu Qing’s proposal, it was for Mo Lin to slaughter Yellow Springs Ghosts.
At that time, a sudden thought popped into his mind, Mo Lin thought of coming to intercept Huang Shang.
Unexpectedly, he just happened to meet the weakened Huang Shang.
"Even if you kill me, someone as powerful as me will eventually appear."
Huang Shang slowly said to Mo Lin: "This world keeps spinning.. when a cat dies, another cat will appear.
When a ghost is destroyed, another entity will emerge to replace ghosts.
If I die, the next one that comes might be even stronger.
You kill me, and an even stronger existence will eventually be born."
"You’re talking philosophy with me here?" Mo Lin snorted coldly.
What kind of nonsense reasoning, Mo Lin didn’t even want to listen.
"Me dying won’t change anything." Huang Shang said again.
"And then?" Mo Lin questioned Huang Shang.
"Give me a way out."
Huang Shang said coldly to Mo Lin.
Seeing Mo Lin silent, Huang Shang pointed to the darkness outside, saying to Mo Lin: "Do you know what this outside is?"
"This is called the Black Tide, the thing outside is called the Black Curtain.
They don’t know, only I do."
Huang Shang continued: "That black thing is a source of pollution."
The world is changing, the Underworld is chaotic.
After people die now, ghosts no longer emerge.
Those materials gathered together formed this area.
Huang Shang only mentioned one point.
For example, after ghosts die, the gathered substances are here too.
"As long as you give me a way out, I am willing to share everything here with you."
Huang Shang tempted Mo Lin: "With your current power, you absolutely cannot compete against Xin Ziruo.
If I help you, I can make you beat her.
I know Xin Ziruo better than you, I understand her methods better."
Mo Lin was tempted.
For that moment, Mo Lin had a thought of letting go of past grievances and reconciling with Huang Shang.
Pleasantly articulate... She truly had a tempting way with words.
Huang Shang, with just her words, truly swayed Mo Lin.
Also, there was a thought of letting go of past grievances and reconciling with Huang Shang.
This is too terrifying....
"Get out..." Mo Lin coldly spat out a word.
Mo Lin stuck to his own thoughts.
"Mo Lin, I’ll reveal something else to you."
Huang Shang slowly said to Mo Lin: "Do you know humans can eat ghosts?
Later, ghosts will become a burden to you."
"I came here just to find a way back." Huang Shang was adept with her talking skills.
Seemingly bringing up a topic of concern for Mo Lin, yet not saying it fully.
She just intended for Mo Lin to give her a way out.
Even as Mo Lin’s opponent, he could sense Huang Shang’s desperate urge for survival.
Just as Huang Shang said, even if Mo Lin killed her.
The world continues on the same.
The East District keeps developing, just missing a powerful ghost, that’s all.
"Not killing you is fine too. Become my ghost, let me control you." Mo Lin said slowly.
"Get out..."
Huang Shang snapped.
To make her Mo Lin’s ghost.
This humiliation is worse than death.
"Look at you... you’re anxious..."
"You want to live, I offer you a chance to live, and you still refuse.."
Huang Shang’s refusal was also within Mo Lin’s expectations.
"Stubborn thing, impervious to persuasion." Huang Shang cursed at Mo Lin.
"Stubborn?"
Mo Lin snorted coldly, since when is revenge considered stubborn?
Was he wrong for seeking revenge?
Accumulated grievances over the years, mocked as being stubborn?
Huang Shang was down to only half her body.
Her body had no blood, but somehow... suddenly yellow blood flowed out.
"Yellow Springs Realm... Yellow Springs Ghost... Yellow Springs lineage, Yellow Springs Technique."
Upon hearing Huang Shang’s mutterings.
Mo Lin’s hair stood on end.
He vigilantly watched her.
Huang Shang... the former master of the Yellow Springs Realm.. even at her most desperate, she had enough cards up her sleeve.
