The Mystical Biological Mother Returns, the Villainous Sons Stand Up Straight – Chapter 44

Ch 44: Utilization and Counter-Utilization

Lin Xian was startled awake by this scream. He raised his eyes and saw “Lin Tian’s” blood-red eyes and ferocious face.

He was shocked. How could he have thought this thing was his younger sister just now? He must be crazy!

After panting for a few breaths, Lin Xian pressed his pounding heart and turned his head to look at Lin Tian, his face pale and pitiful.

Lin Tian rolled her eyes in disdain. “Why aren’t you coming over here!” People are about to fight; are you just going to stand there as cannon fodder? How could Lin Xian be so stupid!

Lin Xian hurriedly ran over, looking at Lin Tian with guilt and distress. “I’m sorry, I…”

“Shh!” Lin Tian raised a finger, pulled him, and shrank to the side of the bed. “A 5D immersive fantasy blockbuster is about to begin! Don’t delay my show!”

Lin Xian choked, his expression complicated. “When did you become so brave?”

Lin Tian was also a little emotional. “I was quite scared at first, but I got used to it after being scared for a while.”

She didn’t know if it was because Gu Qingyin was here, or because that ghost had turned into her appearance, but in any case, fear had turned into anger. Now that Lin Xian was awake, she was completely in the mood to watch the show.

Outside the door in the corridor, the Ghost Cultivator had already revealed its true form. It was pitch-black, barely able to make out a human shape. Except for a pair of eyes as red as gemstones, nothing could be seen clearly, and it was even harder to distinguish its gender.

“Tsk.” Gu Qingyin covered her nose and mouth in disgust, and asked in a muffled voice, “How many people have you eaten?” The stench on its body was more unpleasant than the sewer. It was too unhygienic.

The Ghost Cultivator chuckled, not wasting any words. The not-so-narrow corridor was instantly filled with Yin energy, which transformed into a huge, hideous ghost face, opening its b*oody mouth and rushing over.

Gu Qingyin calmly closed the door and slapped a talisman on it.

Lin Tian in the room instantly slumped her shoulders. It was like watching a particularly exciting trailer, but when she clicked to watch the full movie, she found out she had to pay for VIP.

Disappointment, sadness, wanting to curse.

Seeing this, Lin Xian tentatively asked, “Or, should I go open the door?”

Lin Tian rolled her eyes. “I haven’t lived enough.” She wasn’t that scared anymore, but that didn’t mean she was going to go looking for death.

She sized up Lin Xian and asked suspiciously, “Did that ghost mess with your brain and make you stupid?” Otherwise, how could he ask such an idiotic question?

Lin Xian’s mouth twitched. He shouldn’t have felt guilty towards her.

The moment the door closed, the menacing ghost face quickly rushed in front of Gu Qingyin.

Gu Qingyin raised her slender palm and stretched it forward like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. There was a “bang,” and the ghost face shattered in response.

It was like a high-speed train crashing into a mountain wall, falling apart.

Gu Qingyin shook her hand and smiled lazily, narrowing her eyes. “You’re quite strong.”

The Yin energy surged silently. The Ghost Cultivator hid in the Yin energy, staring at Gu Qingyin with gloomy eyes, but was somewhat surprised and uncertain in its heart.

Just now, Gu Qingyin used her hand to block the Yin energy attack? How could a mortal body touch Yin energy with its bare hands?

No, the Ghost Cultivator thought, she must have prepared a talisman in her palm beforehand. She was deliberately bluffing!

A cunning Taoist Master!

So what if she had a talisman? It wasn’t a big deal. She could do it too!

The Ghost Cultivator stretched out a finger and outlined a rune in the void. The rune slowly took shape, and a mysterious aura slowly spread out.

Hmm?

A sharp light flashed in Gu Qingyin’s eyes.

Before coming down the mountain, she had seen records about Ghost Cultivators in her Master’s study.

Ghost Cultivators are very rare. To be able to embark on the path of cultivation in a ghost’s body, one must have very deep merit and opportunities. If one can truly attain enlightenment and ascend, cross-level battles are as simple as eating and drinking.

But the path of cultivation for Ghost Cultivators is very difficult: questioning the heart, cultivating the nature, cultivating virtue, and severing desires. In simple terms, it means completely violating the habits of being a ghost.

Very few Ghost Cultivators can persevere. From ancient times to the present, only a few Ghost Cultivators have successfully ascended, and most of them are now working in the Netherworld.

But as long as one embarks on the path of cultivation, Ghost Cultivators and ordinary ghosts can be called two different species. It would not be an exaggeration to say that one is in heaven and the other is on earth.

Ghost Cultivators have their own unique cultivation and attack system. If they are good, it is not uncommon for them to become close friends with Taoist Master. If they are evil, then they are mortal enemies.

The Ghost Cultivator in front of her didn’t know how many years it had cultivated. It could already draw runes with Yin energy, but it still couldn’t help but break the forbidden laws and ruin its cultivation.

Gu Qingyin couldn’t help but feel sorry for this Ghost Cultivator. Its years of hard work were about to be destroyed. What a sin.

Thinking this, Gu Qingyin’s hands didn’t stop, and she drew a talisman in the void with flowing movements.

If the Ghost Cultivator was a child who had just learned to write, then Gu Qingyin was a hidden calligraphy master. The two were not on the same level at all, and there was no comparability.

After Gu Qingyin finished drawing, she even waited for the Ghost Cultivator for a while. It had worked hard for so long, so she had to let it write out this talisman, otherwise, she would always feel like she was bullying a ghost.

Finally, the Ghost Cultivator finished drawing the talisman, but it didn’t throw the talisman out immediately. Instead, it used the talisman as a container and quickly poured a large amount of Yin energy into it. The rune quickly swelled up, emitting an ominous ghostly light, and the aura became more and more dangerous. At the same time, the Ghost Cultivator finally couldn’t suppress the pride in its heart and mocked loudly and unscrupulously.

“You Taoist Master are hypocritical. You clearly can’t wait to kill me, but you always self-righteously want me to die with a little dignity.” The Ghost Cultivator’s voice was full of hatred. “Bah! Hypocritical things!”

“Those Taoist Master who look down on me will eventually die in my hands. You are no exception!”

It could be heard that the Ghost Cultivator was very confident. It had probably successfully killed several Taoist Master with this trick before.

Gu Qingyin didn’t panic at all, and there was even a bit more interest in her eyes. “It seems I did underestimate you, but… you’re not the only one who knows this trick.”

Before she finished speaking, the rune beside her suddenly emitted a dazzling light, as if it had suddenly been charged with electricity.

But unlike the Ghost Cultivator’s rune, Gu Qingyin’s rune didn’t deform at all, and its aura wasn’t obvious. It only emitted a faint pressure.

Gu Qingyin’s eyes were bright, eager to try. “Then let’s see whose rune bomb is more powerful.”

Rune bomb?

The Ghost Cultivator was stunned for a moment before reacting. Although the name was simple and easy to understand, it didn’t give the ultimate move any prestige at all. Didn’t she feel like something was wrong?!

“It’s called Mountain Collapse Talisman!”

Gu Qingyin didn’t know why it was so excited, and nodded with a bit of doubt. “I know, bomb collapsing mountains.”

“It’s Mountain Collapse Talisman! It has nothing to do with bombs!” The Ghost Cultivator shouted excitedly.

Gu Qingyin blinked blankly, not understanding why it was so excited. She curled her lips. “Whatever, it’s all the same thing anyway.”

The Ghost Cultivator was even more angry. How could it be “whatever”? This was the first ultimate move it had learned! It had extraordinary significance!
