Chapter 744 - 742: She Is Also a Netherlord
Huang Shang couldn’t understand why Mo Lin was able to survive at Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain.
How could he possibly survive at Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain?
Even for Huang Shang himself, the lineup at Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain wouldn’t guarantee his safety.
How did Mo Lin manage to survive?
Unable to figure it out
Huang Shang had been trapped here for a long time and was completely unaware of the situation outside.
In Huang Shang’s understanding, Mo Lin should have been dead.
Yet now, Mo Lin was standing here unharmed.
Huang Shang raised her right hand, and Ghost Qi like yellow sand condensed into a beam rushing towards Mo Lin.
Mo Lin lifted his hand, placing the Cyan Cloud Sword horizontally before him, blocking Huang Shang’s attack.
"Is it really you?"
Huang Shang had just attacked to test him.
She wanted to discern whether Mo Lin was a person created by this darkness.
After all, this place mirrors the thing one fears the most in their heart.
The moment they made contact, she realized that the person in front of her was indeed Mo Lin.
"Mo Lin, team up with me, and we’ll kill that ghostly creature outside.
We split the benefits equally."
"Three years... Three whole years... Do you know how I’ve survived these past three years?"
Mo Lin spoke coldly to Huang Shang while holding his sword.
As for Huang Shang’s words, Mo Lin didn’t listen to a single one.
"Hey... I’m telling you, that thing outside can kill me and can kill you too.
If you don’t team up with me, don’t dream of getting out alive." Huang Shang shouted at Mo Lin.
She was the master of the Yellow Springs Ghost.
Her strength had now recovered to the Immortal Ghost level, possessing another form of frightening power.
Yet she was still trapped here, which showed the fearsome nature of what dwells deeper in the darkness.
"You’re actually injured..."
A rare smile appeared on Mo Lin’s somber face.
"It seems even the heavens are helping me..."
Mo Lin’s mind was filled solely with revenge, and he ignored everything Huang Shang said.
At her peak, fighting Huang Shang would have been tough for Mo Lin.
But now the situation was different; Huang Shang was injured, her strength greatly diminished.
That made it much easier.
Mo Lin no longer hesitated and swung his sword with his right hand, performing the Jingming Evil-slaying Swordsmanship.
"Exorcism and Godslaying." Mo Lin slashed out with his sword.
The sword light spread in the air, and in the next moment, Mo Lin executed a sword technique again.
"Jingming Sunlight"
A white light surged toward Huang Shang.
Huang Shang raised her right hand, the yellow Ghost Qi forming a barrier to defend against Mo Lin’s attack.
She dared not go all out.
On the surface, it seemed only she and Mo Lin were here.
Yet, in truth, there was another terrifying presence here.
But Mo Lin had no qualms.
He continued to unleash his sword techniques.
Every move was full strength.
Huang Shang’s defense against Mo Lin was strong.
She could block Mo Lin’s two moves, but she clearly couldn’t withstand his subsequent attacks.
"Jingming."
Mo Lin said coldly.
The Jingming Evil-slaying Swordsmanship, the most powerful move among the sword techniques.
"Crash.." The barrier of yellow Ghost Qi was directly split in two by the sword technique.
The sword light slashed Huang Shang’s arm.
Huang Shang’s right arm was severed.
She was not a ghost body.
She was human.
A severed arm couldn’t recover.
Once severed, it’s gone.
The wound where the arm was severed showed no sign of blood dripping.
"Mo Lin, don’t push me." Huang Shang yelled at Mo Lin: "Don’t think I’m afraid of you."
Mo Lin remained silent, the Cyan Cloud Sword in his hand slashing again.
Mo Lin was no fool; he could clearly sense what Huang Shang was wary of.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so easily defeated by Mo Lin, losing an arm in one move.
No matter... The more Huang Shang feared, the more boldly Mo Lin advanced.
The carefree sensation was particularly exhilarating.
Slash... Slash... Slash again.
Every strike Mo Lin made was blocked by Huang Shang.
Throughout, Huang Shang was on the receiving end.
Maybe she was growing impatient.
Or perhaps preparing to unleash her strength.
A terrifying force exploded around Huang Shang’s body.
A wave pushed Mo Lin back.
Yellow Ghost Qi filled every corner.
Mo Lin and Huang Shang’s battle was contained within the protection of the Dao Treasure.
Their power, if it touched the darkness, would be swallowed by it.
Mo Lin had once entered the dark canopy, but the darkness back then wasn’t as frightening as it was now.
"Immortal Ghost Skill: Yellow Springs Soul Stealing." Forced to use Immortal Ghost Skill was Huang Shang.
She originally intended to keep her strength.
Finding an opportunity to escape from here.
Now with Mo Lin’s insistence, she had no choice but to unleash the Immortal Ghost Skill.
Yellow Ghost Qi condensed into an iron chain.
The chain shot straight towards Mo Lin, piercing through his chest the next moment.
Mo Lin’s soul was instantly tightly hooked by the chain.
As Huang Shang exerted her force, Mo Lin’s soul was gradually pulled away by a tremendous force, about to leave his body.
Here, Mo Lin’s connection with the Beihai ghosts had been severed.
Perhaps due to the uniqueness of this place, Mo Lin couldn’t summon ghosts here.
Mo Lin attempted to sever the chain with his sword.
Only to discover that ordinary techniques couldn’t break Huang Shang’s Immortal Ghost Skill.
At Mo Lin’s chest, a mass of Ghost Qi whirled furiously.
Spinning like a ball at Mo Lin’s chest.
The terrifying power of Ghost Qi gradually spread around.
Spreading from Mo Lin’s chest to his limbs.
Pitch-black Ghost Qi engulfed Mo Lin’s surroundings.
Mo Lin swung his right hand, grabbing the chain and yanking forcefully.
"Crash.."
The chain was destroyed by Mo Lin’s wild power.
This Ghost Qi was the power Mo Lin had absorbed at Beihai, used as a technique.
Ghost Qi surrounded Mo Lin, condensing into an official’s robe.
The dark robe bore the word "Lord."
The Ghost Qi entwined around Mo Lin was no ordinary Ghost Qi.
This was the Ghost Qi of ten thousand ghosts.
Ghost Qi accumulated from nearly ten thousand ghosts at Beihai by Mo Lin.
More powerful than ordinary Ghost Qi.
Mo Lin raised his hand and the ten thousand Ghost Qi followed his movement, striking towards Huang Shang head-on.
Huang Shang propelled the yellow Ghost Qi to defend.
"Boom.."
The ten thousand Ghost Qi shattered Huang Shang’s Ghost Qi, plunging her directly into the ground.
Huang Shang was wounded.
A scar appeared on her left cheek, and her chest collapsed.
Huang Shang slowly stood up, at this moment she no longer held back.
She already felt the threat of death.
If she didn’t act, she would die.
The yellow Ghost Qi beside Huang Shang condensed onto her, forming a robe.
This technique was similar to Mo Lin’s Netherlord method.
But Huang Shang was now weakened.
Her aura was inferior to Mo Lin’s.
It lacked that Netherlord presence.
Mo Lin took a deep breath, feeling fortunate that he came to find Huang Shang first without slaughtering her Yellow Springs Ghost.
Huang Shang’s strength had already reached the Netherlord level.
No wonder she wouldn’t abandon her physical body.
It was all to step into the Netherlord Realm.
In terms of realm alone, Huang Shang was stronger than Mo Lin.
She was already at the Netherlord level of strength, while Mo Lin wasn’t.
Mo Lin merely forced himself to possess Netherlord strength.
He couldn’t maintain this condition for long.
But Huang Shang was inherently at the Netherlord level of strength.
Her entire Netherlord aura was almost depleted.
She must have gone through a fierce battle before Mo Lin arrived.
Mo Lin raised his hand, gathering ten thousand Ghost Qi into his palm.
A fist-sized sphere gradually formed.
Under Mo Lin’s power, the sphere continued to expand.
Opposite, Huang Shang performed the same action.
But the sphere in her hand was only about half the size of a melon, and then grew no larger.
Meanwhile, the sphere in Mo Lin’s hand continued to spread, one meter... two meters... three meters...
This was condensing Netherlord power.
