Chapter 706 - 704: Back from the Dead
Zhong Kui’s thick beard extends from his temples to his jaw, curling like wires. His leopard-like eyes, round as bronze bells, reveal a terrifying ferocity that makes one’s heart race.
The Three Immortals, who just moments ago were imposing and could crush everything in the world, now before Zhong Kui, seemed as insignificant as ants.
"Hmph..."
Zhong Kui snorted coldly.
This snort exploded in the air like a thunderclap.
"Pfft!"
Yin Qi couldn’t withstand the oppressive terror, spitting blood directly and half-kneeling on the ground, his right hand supporting his body, trying to appear less disgraced.
Fortunately, Yin Qi was protected by the Guardian Deity; otherwise, he would have fainted just now.
The Two Evil Buddhas acted, the Buddha’s Radiance shrouding Yin Qi.
Only then did Yin Qi feel somewhat better, as the feeling of his insides tumbling gradually disappeared.
"Quickly save him," Nvwa urged Zhong Kui weakly.
She shared her fate with Mo Lin; if Mo Lin died completely, Nvwa would also vanish from this world.
And it would be without a trace.
That’s why Nvwa urged Zhong Kui to save him.
Zhong Kui no longer paid attention to the Three Immortals and others; his gaze slowly shifted to Mo Lin, his right hand raised.
Black liquid lifted Mo Lin’s body as if in a palm, then raised him into the air.
The black liquid rapidly repaired Mo Lin’s injuries.
The blood holes on Mo Lin’s body were healing quickly.
This was the power of the Ghost Vein rapidly repairing Mo Lin’s body.
With physical injuries healed, next came restoring the soul.
"Cough cough... ptooey..."
Zhong Kui spat out liquid, feeling as if he were spitting phlegm.
Zhong Kui grabbed the spit with his hand, kneading it like clay, quickly molding it into the shape of a little figure.
"Soul, come."
Zhong Kui chanted incantations, tiny points of light rapidly gathering around.
Then they merged into the little figure’s body.
Zhong Kui pressed the little figure into Mo Lin’s forehead.
"Mo Lin, wake up..." Zhong Kui ordered sternly.
Mo Lin’s pupils suddenly opened wide, as if waking from sleep, instantly sitting up.
Before his eyes was a face covered in beard, eyes seeming about to pop out.
This fierce face was so familiar.
Strangers seeing this face might feel fear and awe.
But only Mo Lin found this face so familiar.
"Master..."
Mo Lin called out.
Mo Lin’s emotions surged like waves.
His master had disappeared along with the Yedou Ghost Immortals years ago; why had he suddenly appeared?
Mo Lin wasn’t aware of the matters of the Ghost Spirit Body.
Nor did he know he had a Ghost Vein in his body, and that a Ghost Immortal was residing within that vein.
Also, he didn’t know that Zhong Kui had actually been asleep inside Mo Lin’s body all along.
Wasn’t I dead?
Why am I alive again?
Mo Lin was stunned for a few seconds but soon realized.
"Thank you for saving my life, Master." Mo Lin knelt down, grateful to Zhong Kui.
Here, everyone was an enemy. Apart from his master, no one could save his life.
And let Mo Lin be brought back from the dead.
"Look at you... have you been through a lot lately?"
No blame was spoken, only concern and teasing.
These words were quite simple, just pure teasing.
But for some reason, Mo Lin’s eyes became moist suddenly.
It felt like being bullied and suddenly someone was there to stand up for him.
Emotions erupted uncontrollably.
"Hmm..." Mo Lin nodded heavily and said.
"You’ve had it tough."
Zhong Kui’s black hand patted Mo Lin’s shoulder, comforting him.
"Master, I’m sorry, I am useless."
At this moment, Mo Lin earnestly spoke to his master.
"In the Underworld, I couldn’t resolve Yedou’s hidden dangers, can’t eradicate the Underworld, can’t save the Ten Thousand Ghosts from fire and water."
"In the mortal world, I couldn’t defeat the Evil Buddha, couldn’t annihilate the Evil Spirit, couldn’t find a safe place for Yedou in the human realm."
"Disciple Mo Lin, ashamed of Master’s cultivation.
Ashamed of Yedou’s nurture."
Mo Lin knelt on the ground, heavily kowtowing to Zhong Kui.
Looking at Mo Lin’s miserable state, Zhong Kui raised his hand to help Mo Lin up.
"You’ve done well enough, don’t be so hard on yourself."
Zhong Kui turned to look at the Three Immortals, Two Buddhas, One Ghost, and One Spirit.
He raised his right hand, sweeping forward.
"Boom..."
The Three Immortals, Two Buddhas, One Ghost, and One Spirit were smacked heavily onto the ground.
As if to vent for Mo Lin.
"Bullying my disciple for his incomplete cultivation?
Testing the ability of the Ghost Spirit Body?"
Zhong Kui’s voice echoed like thunder in the air.
Mo Lin didn’t know, but Zhong Kui was clear, the opponents seemed to be targeting Mo Lin.
In reality, they wanted to use Mo Lin’s elimination to find Mo Lin’s Ghost Vein.
On the surface, it’s targeting Mo Lin; the real purpose is aimed at Yedou.
Zhong Kui sees farther than Mo Lin.
He immediately speculated that someone was plotting today’s battle.
"Trying to calculate against my Yedou?
Forcing me to show up?
Draining my Divine Power?"
The people behind this were probing to see if the Yedou Ghost Immortal behind Mo Lin would appear.
"I’ll grant your wish today." Zhong Kui was not speaking to those present.
He was talking to those plotting the Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain battle.
"Thud!"
The Three Immortals kneeled simultaneously.
Swiftly, as Zhong Kui finished speaking, the Three Immortals knelt down.
The Three Immortals’ senses were a hundred times stronger than ordinary people.
At the moment Zhong Kui revealed his killing intent, the Three Immortals reacted rapidly.
"Spare us, senior."
The Star Constellation Snake Immortal was the first to speak: "We Three Immortals are aware of our mistakes, begging the senior for mercy."
"Senior, we harbor no killing intent towards Mo Lin, begging the senior for forgiveness." The Giant Spirit Power Immortal also spoke.
"Begging the senior for a chance to live."
It’s not that the Three Immortals were timid.
It was extremely hard for them to become immortals, and they haven’t had the chance to enjoy life in the human realm. To die like this would be too unworthy.
If dying in battle for their own matters, so be it.
But dying for something insignificant like this.
That would make it far too unworthy.
Dying in vain.
"Scram..." Zhong Kui snorted coldly.
"Thank you, Celestial Master, for your mercy." The Star Constellation Snake Immortal thanked Zhong Kui.
As the words fell, the Three Immortals turned and quickly departed.
The Three Immortals’ minds were as clear as a mirror.
This battle was against Mo Lin, but it was also against Yedou behind Mo Lin.
This was beyond the matters the Three Immortals could involve themselves with.
Zhong Kui raised his right hand, the black aura condensed into a long sword.
Zhong Kui wielded the sword in his hand.
As the sword moved, the entire sky darkened.
The next moment, the world seemed to plunge into endless night.
Not a hint of light could be seen.
Zhong Kui’s sword seemed capable of killing everything.
Moments later, the darkness receded.
The Two Evil Buddhas fell,
the Great Evil Spirit was split in two and exterminated.
Su Yunling’s corpse lay horizontally on the ground.
Zhong Kui’s sword directly slew Two Buddhas, One Ghost, One Spirit.
The mighty ones who had driven Mo Lin into despair were now no match for Zhong Kui’s hand.
At the same time, the Jiangzhou People bound to the pillars were saved by Zhong Kui’s sword.
Catching the opportunity, this group of Jiangzhou People fled and escaped.
Mo Lin’s limbs were weak, unable to feel any cultivation, resurrection making him fall into an unprecedented sense of exhaustion.
It was as if he had been completely emptied, utterly powerless.
Mo Lin looked at Mo Jingmei’s body, his heart torn painfully.
The pain of a closest one’s passing made Mo Lin’s heart ache.
