Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department

Chapter 668 666: Cornered

Xu Ji himself felt very frustrated.

If he could call upon a few ninth-generation disciples, would Mo Lin dare speak to him in this manner?

By then, the Celestial Monarch Xu's inheritance would be handed over by Mo Lin, willingly or not.

Unfortunately, because Zhu Zizai meddled, the ninth-generation disciples cannot take action against Mo Lin.

Xu Ji raised his right hand, and a blackish-blue aura instantly appeared above his arm, coiling around his palm.

Mo Lin swung the Cyan Cloud Sword, slashing directly at Xu Ji.

Xu Ji didn't dodge, raising his hand to receive Mo Lin's attack.

Xu Ji's hand grasped the blade of the Cyan Cloud Sword.

Remarkably, the Cyan Cloud Sword didn't harm Xu Ji in the slightest.

Xu Ji just held the blade of the Cyan Cloud Sword with his hand, then suddenly flung it away.

The Cyan Cloud Sword was directly cast aside.

"Is that all?"

Xu Ji taunted Mo Lin, "Aren't you skilled in Ghost-Controlling?

Call out that ugly female ghost."

"Today, I'm going to show you what a gap in power really means."

Mo Lin didn't speak; he directly used the Jingming Evil-slaying Swordsmanship.

After executing the first form of "Exorcism and Godslaying," Mo Lin immediately followed with another sword technique.

The second form of Jingming Evil-slaying Swordsmanship, "Sword Domain."

The third form of Evil-slaying Swordsmanship, "Jingming."

Terrifying Sword Qi blossomed in the air.

These three moves were enough for Mo Lin not to lose to anyone among his peers.

At least for now, Mo Lin hadn't encountered anyone able to withstand all three moves simultaneously.

Xu Ji raised both hands, moving in the air like an elderly woman practicing Tai Chi by the roadside.

The moment the sword techniques touched Xu Ji's arms,

all the sword techniques were broken.

Even Jingming was ineffective against Xu Ji.

Rather than saying the sword techniques were broken, it would be more accurate to say they had no effect.

These sword techniques were nullified just before they could touch Xu Ji.

"Is that all? Use whatever skills you have." Xu Ji seemed to deliberately provoke Mo Lin.

Continuously taunting Mo Lin with words.

So strong...

Fighting Xu Ji for a full ten minutes, Mo Lin still had no clue what technique Xu Ji was using.

Immortal Technique?

Or Magic?

Xu Ji had a relaxed expression, still looking composed and unhurried.

"No wonder you're the inheritor of Jingming Daoism, you're skilled."

From the bottom of his heart, Mo Lin felt that Xu Ji was formidable.

In his previous fight with Fuqi, Fuqi wasn't as untroubled as Xu Ji.

There's only one way to defeat Xu Ji.

Crush him with absolute strength.

Clearly, Mo Lin couldn't do that.

"The Celestial Monarch Xu's inheritance?

Don't hide it anymore, use it." A hint of expectation appeared in Xu Ji's eyes.

He seemed eager to make Mo Lin use the Celestial Monarch Xu's inheritance.

All of Xu Ji's emotions were detected by Mo Lin.

In battle, these details need attention.

Not knowing what Xu Ji intended, Mo Lin didn't dare recklessly use the Celestial Monarch Xu's inheritance.

"Heng and Ha Generals." Mo Lin snorted.

He immediately summoned Heng and Ha Generals.

The two Divine Generals appeared behind Mo Lin.

Heng and Ha Generals both opened their mouths and spat a mouthful of yellow breath.

Like a river, the aura enveloped Xu Ji.

Xu Ji was a bit disappointed that Mo Lin didn't use the Celestial Monarch Xu's inheritance power.

"Soul Capturing and Spirit-Dominating." Xu Ji snorted coldly.

Swirling his hands, pitch-black smoke like two black dragons instantly trapped Heng and Ha Generals.

A black cloud manifested in mid-air.

The black smoke constantly battered Heng and Ha Generals' bodies.

Mo Lin's pupils sharply contracted.

"Is this... seizing control?"

Only then did Mo Lin discover that Xu Ji was actually trying to seize control of Heng and Ha Generals.

A look of shock appeared on Mo Lin's normally calm face.

It was the first time Mo Lin encountered someone who could vie for control of Divine Generals with him.

One must know, Mo Lin was using the Five Viscera Concealing Ghost Skill.

The fact that the opponent could seize control of Heng and Ha Generals indicated he also had a method for manipulating ghosts.

And it was by no means inferior to Mo Lin's.

Mo Lin revised his assessment of Xu Ji; he wasn't just strong.

He was excessively strong.

"If you don't have any other skills, these two Divine Generals will be mine." Xu Ji taunted Mo Lin.

Mo Lin prepared to summon Nvwa to battle Xu Ji.

"Don't..."

Someone called out, "If you summon Nvwa, it'll be seized as well."

"Qiaoqiao, get lost... mind your own business." Xu Ji angrily rebuked the person speaking in the distance.

Looking as if he was thwarted in his plans.

Mo Lin immediately stopped his actions, not daring to summon Nvwa.

Connecting the dots with Xu Ji's constant provocation, Mo Lin speculated the earlier warning was true.

"The Celestial Monarch Xu's inheritance cannot be used either, or it will be taken." That person reminded again.

Mo Lin silently exclaimed, "Good person!"

No technique can be used.

At that moment, Mo Lin suddenly felt out of options.

Heng and Ha Generals were gradually slipping from Mo Lin's control.

Yet Mo Lin was powerless.

Mo Lin absolutely couldn't watch Heng and Ha Generals be taken away helplessly.

He needed to break the seal on his suppressed power.

Previously in the East District, Mo Lin's Immortal Technique and other methods were sealed by Liuer Mingxi.

This was so Mo Lin could focus on practicing Jingming Evil-slaying Swordsmanship.

Now, with a formidable enemy in front, Mo Lin had no choice but to break the seal prematurely.

Mo Lin was just about to break the seal but then stopped.

No time left.

Releasing the seal would take time.

By the time he released the seal, Heng and Ha Generals would already be thoroughly controlled by Xu Ji.

"What's wrong? Out of moves?" Xu Ji taunted Mo Lin.

Xu Ji gave Mo Lin a sense of unfathomable depth.

Mo Lin's techniques in front of Xu Ji were like mice meeting a cat.

They simply could not be used.

Seizing other's magic and using it for oneself.

Truly outrageous.

Mo Lin clearly felt Heng and Ha Generals inching away from his control.

Heng and Ha Generals initially resisted but, after Xu Ji's intervention,

they now stood in place with no desire to fight, allowing Xu Ji to gradually manipulate them.

While Mo Lin was stunned, Xu Ji suddenly relinquished the effort to seize control over Heng and Ha Generals.

In the next moment, he lunged directly at Mo Lin, grabbing Mo Lin's throat with his right hand.

A diversion.

His actual target wasn't Heng and Ha Generals; contesting their control was to divide Mo Lin's attention.

A massive attraction force surged forth, and black mist, like tentacles, tightly bound Mo Lin.

Xu Ji was actually siphoning Mo Lin's power.

"You're really cautious." Xu Ji snorted.

He had previously tried to provoke Mo Lin into using the Celestial Monarch Xu's inheritance power, so he could seize it.

But Mo Lin was overly cautious, never using the Celestial Monarch Xu's power, preventing Xu Ji from ever having the chance to take it.

Mo Lin, in Xu Ji's grasp, attempted to resist, but the moment he prepared to use a technique, his power was devoured by the black aura surrounding Xu Ji.

This left Mo Lin momentarily in a bind.

It was not that Mo Lin was weak.

It was Xu Ji who was absurdly strong.

But this was normal.

Without any skill, how could he be chosen as the inheritor of Jingming Daoism?

Xu Ji raised his right hand, the black aura congealed into a hand, reaching into Mo Lin's chest, intending to extract the Celestial Monarch Xu's inheritance from Mo Lin's body in this way.

Just as Xu Ji was about to take the next action, a coin slowly floated up between Xu Ji and Mo Lin.

The golden coin shimmered with a radiant glow.
