"You forced my hand!"
Seeing Lin Mu's overbearing attitude, the elder flew into a rage, slamming his hands onto the ground.
"Rise for !"
With a great pull of his hands, it was as if he were heaving sothing up from the depths of the earth.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The ground trembled, and a massive fissure cracked open where the tower had shattered.
"ROAR!"
A roar echoed from the fissure as a pair of desiccated, scale-covered hands reached out from below. They clawed at the soil on either side and violently tore the earth apart.
BOOM! A colossal creature, three ters tall, burst forth from the ground. It was a monster composed of countless heads. Its main head was that of a woman, but the rest of its body was a grotesque fusion of infants' heads. A football-sized head protruded from its abdon, its eyes like copper bells, radiating an overwhelming aura of resentnt.
The mont the creature appeared, it swiped a claw toward Lin Mu.
A cold smirk touched Lin Mu's lips. Without even turning his head, he slashed backward with his sword. The blade's light whistled through the air, striking the creature's claw directly.
CLANG! A sharp noise rang out. Astonishingly, the creature's claw wasn't severed. Instead, the impact sent a shower of sparks flying.
"A Nine Child Ghost Mother!" Lin Mu's eyebrows rose slightly, clearly surprised.
The legendary Mother of Myriad Ghosts, capable of birthing all the ghosts in the world, was imnsely powerful! To think the Corpse Raising Sect had actually found such a ferocious beast.
"A pity you haven't truly mastered the technique," Lin Mu said, shaking his head slightly. "The Nine Child Ghost Mother you've raised is rely a pale imitation."
Lin Mu had encountered the true Nine Child Ghost Mother in the Nine Nether Lands. Its power was so formidable that it could rival a True Immortal! The one before him was rely an empty shell.
"Nevertheless, to have raised such a creature in this day and age is truly a remarkable feat," Lin Mu added, a hint of admiration in his tone.
"Kid, I'll tell you the truth! This Nine Child Ghost Mother is the Corpse Raising Sect's most powerful fiend! If you know what's good for you, you'll retreat at once. Otherwise, you can stay and beco food for my precious!" the elder cackled, his face a mask of wild joy.
"Hmph. The height of foolishness," Lin Mu snorted in disdain. "To raise a Nine Child Ghost Mother, one must feed it with the essence blood of infants every nine days. Judging by this beast, it must have devoured no fewer than a hundred infants. Such acts are an affront to the heavens and a violation of human decency!"
Most importantly, the infants the Nine Child Ghost Mother devoured had to be freshly torn from their mothers' wombs. This ant the elder from the Corpse Raising Sect had killed over a hundred pregnant won, taking their children just to feed this monster. By doing so, he had also torn apart hundreds of families! Such cruelty was unforgivable!
"Hmph! Becoming nourishnt for the Nine Child Ghost Mother is the good fortune they've cultivated over several lifetis!" the elder retorted coldly, completely unconcerned.
"Boy, I gave you a chance. Since you refuse to leave, then you can stay forever!"
He took out an ocarina crafted from a human skull and began to play a soft tune.
WOOOO... A mind-numbing sound spread out, and the Nine Child Ghost Mother suddenly beca agitated. It clutched its head and let out a shrill, furious screech.
"Kill him!" the elder commanded, pointing at Lin Mu.
With a low growl, the Nine Child Ghost Mother kicked off the ground and lunged straight for him.
BANG! The ground cracked. With terrifying speed, the Nine Child Ghost Mother appeared instantly before Lin Mu, its sharp hands stabbing toward his neck. The infants' heads on its body opened their mouths, revealing sharp teeth and letting out piercing, wretched shrieks.
Lin Mu's gaze turned frosty as he threw a straight punch.
Deicide Fist!
The punch unleashed a furious gale.
THUD! Before the Nine Child Ghost Mother's hands could even touch him, the punch sent it flying backward.
CRACK! The creature crashed through a building, which collapsed around it. It let out an angry roar and charged at Lin Mu once more.
"Hahaha! Boy, I've raised this Nine Child Ghost Mother for decades! Its body is impervious to any weapon. You can't possibly beat it!" the elder laughed maniacally, continuing to play the ocarina in his hands.
"Is that so?" Lin Mu flexed his arm and brought the Yulong Sword up horizontally before him. He ran a finger lightly across the blade.
VMMMM!
The roar of a dragon echoed as the sword's light glead sharply. A murderous Sword Qi shot straight toward the heavens.
The elder's face fell. Realizing he could delay no longer, he blew into the ocarina with frantic haste. The Sword Qi emanating from the Yulong Sword grew more and more intense, gradually filling the entire Haiyuan Tiancheng with a thin veil of its power.
SWISH! A leaf drifted down from a tree, only to be shredded to pieces by the ambient Sword Qi.
The Nine Child Ghost Mother burst from the ruins, charging toward Lin Mu as fast as lightning.
CRACKLE! CRACKLE! Streams of Sword Qi struck its body, leaving deep gashes and causing the infants' heads to wail in agony. The creature's body was covered in layers of scales that appeared exceptionally hard. But the Yulong Sword's Sword Qi was the sharpest weapon in the world. *Nothing could withstand its edge!*
"Go!"
Lin Mu tapped the sword lightly with his finger. The Yulong Sword instantly whistled through the air like a Thunder Dragon bursting from the water.
"ROAR!"
The draconic roar shook the heavens, its Sword Qi murderously sharp!
"This is..." The elder's face was a picture of shock. "Sword Control Technique!" he cried out.
The Yulong Sword transford into a streak of lightning, charging directly at the Nine Child Ghost Mother. Lin Mu's fingers moved in a blur of gestures, causing the sword to shift its trajectory.
ZING!
Suddenly, a piercing sword cry that echoed for miles rang out, and the Yulong Sword vanished. In its place, however, a faint and invisible Sword Qi remained.
Punishing Immortal Sword Qi!
"Slash!" Lin Mu flicked his finger. The Punishing Immortal Sword Qi whistled forth, stabbing directly into the Nine Child Ghost Mother's abdon.
"ROAR!"
The creature's forward charge ca to an abrupt halt, its body stiffening. It lowered its head slightly. A fist-sized hole had appeared on the infant head on its abdon, the edges scorched as if by a lightning strike.
CRACKLE! Then, fissures began to spread across the infant's skull until it finally shattered into pieces.
"AARGH!"
With the death of the infant, the Nine Child Ghost Mother let out a heart-wrenching scream. It threw its arms wide as a violent wave of resentnt erupted from its body, as if it had been driven into a crazed frenzy.
"Rather than live on, suffering under soone's control, allow to grant you liberation," Lin Mu said, his gaze cold. He hooked his finger slightly, and the Sword Qi from the surrounding air converged, instantly engulfing the Nine Child Ghost Mother.
"No!" the elder shrieked, but he was far too late to stop it. The Nine Child Ghost Mother was pierced by innurable streams of Sword Qi.
THWIP! THWIP! THWIP!
The Sword Qi crisscrossed, dicing the Nine Child Ghost Mother's body into countless fragnts.
WHOOSH! A gust of wind blew past, and the fragnts turned to dust, scattering into the air.
The Nine Child Ghost Mother was slain.
CRACK! The bone ocarina in the elder's hand developed countless fractures before crumbling into a fine powder.
As the Nine Child Ghost Mother perished, the elder suffered a backlash. He spat a mouthful of fresh blood, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.
Lin Mu slowly walked over to the elder and looked down at him, his face devoid of expression.
"Who... who in the world are you?" the elder stared blankly at Lin Mu, his heart flooded with terror. This man's cultivation level was so high that even the Nine Child Ghost Mother was no match for him. He had single-handedly destroyed a plan years in the making. He had never encountered such a formidable opponent in his entire life.
"I am Lin Wudi!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Lin Mu waved his hand. The elder's head flew from his shoulders in a spray of blood.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a scream shattered the silence.
Lin Mu looked up and saw a woman staring at him in horror. It was Lu Jia.
