Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Followers of the God of Eternal Glory, Ghost Masters
“Cough…that’s not the point. The family’s historical issues can wait for later,” Su Qinghong coughed lightly. “This guy’s dead here just like that; won’t there be three hundred ambushers outside ready to start a war with us?”
“Sister Hong, that doesn’t seem to be a concern,” Kashan said weakly, “All those outside, D Tier and above, have already died silently.”
“What?” Su Qinghong’s eyes widened instantly, “All dead? You’re joking, right? Who on this wasteland has the ability to kill people silently from such a close range? And all the Transcendents and Superpowers in this gathering place?”
“Seems like the Mind Frog has always been probing your belly.”
Lu Wenwu deliberately lowered his voice, staring intently at a particular direction in the room, adjusting imaginary glasses on his nose, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
As he finished speaking, the surging Qi Blood coursed through him, causing his already muscular frame to swell even further.
The dark red right fist swept out with a domineering force, striking into the open air.
“Take a punch from your daddy!”
The powerful Fist Gang formed a tangible tornado, and the terrifying Qi Force actually destroyed a rule-bound barrier in the room.
A barely audible cracking sound emerged, accompanied by a woman’s wailing and screams.
Something was shaken out with a single punch!
Feel this domineering power!
Before the woman could even fully manifest in the room, Lu Wenwu stomped hard, launching himself like a cannonball straight for the target’s location.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
With Burst Step, Lu Wenwu grabbed the woman’s neck, transforming into a human wrecking ball, smashing through four walls in a row, pinning her firmly to the muddy, dirty ground.
Not until the dust cleared did the four who came to pursue finally see the assassin’s appearance.
She was a short, sturdily built woman dressed in all black with an unremarkable appearance.
Unlike the non-human Evolvers or the unchanged Superpower Priests, her skin, tightly clasped by Lu Wenwu’s hand, was crawling with eerie blue-black patterns.
These patterns extended from her arms and body across the entire right side of her face.
Even her iris had transformed into a pupil-less lead-gray, horrifyingly reminiscent of the zombies Lu Wenwu sighted in an early mission.
“Only Tier Five strength, merely equivalent to our B-level with a couple of advanced cultivation techniques, but with a faint and unstable aura, as if just advanced…” Anthony frowned, sensing intently. “It seems she used some crafty magic technique for a blood sacrifice, very sinister.”
This woman should feel proud of herself.
For she just unlocked a special achievement—so sinister that even the Blood Race finds you disturbing!
“How did you do it?”
Lu Wenwu, less inclined to circle around, asked bluntly.
“Pfft…puh…”
The woman spat out a mouthful of blood and the teeth broken during Lu Wenwu’s violent capture.
“Lucky Superpower User, how can you brainless, lowly fools compare to our Ghost Masters? You’re just the lucky ones to awaken a superpower, yet you boastingly claim it’s a gift from the gods, huh…”
“Ghost Master? Never heard of it. What a load of crap,” Lu Wenwu was somewhat displeased. “I asked you how you killed all those people; can you understand words?”
“Hahaha! Still an ignorant fool!” The woman laughed arrogantly, her face showing mockery. “You, the newly emerged Priest of the Giant Bone Gathering Place, can’t even handle the glory and eternal…”
“Smack!”
Lu Wenwu mercilessly delivered a hefty slap, shattering half her teeth.
“I asked how you killed them, why are you saying so much irrelevant crap? Do you have problems with your brain, or can’t you understand Huaxia language?”
“Aaaaah! Damn it, I’ll kill you! I must kill you! You insulted the glory…” the woman mumbled incoherently.
“Smack!”
Lu Wenwu delivered another emotionless slap, shattering the rest of her teeth.
The slap even caved in her cheek, leaving it visibly sunken.
The intense pain instantly caused the self-proclaimed Ghost Master woman to faint, collapsing weakly to the ground.
“Big brother, you’re up. You’re a dignified direct heir of the Yousu Clan, haven’t you learned the Soul Searching Technique? This woman’s mentally unstable, making normal communication difficult; proceed to the final steps!”
Disdainfully, Lu Wenwu pulled the woman’s undergarment to wipe his blood-stained hands, then stuffed it back.
Don’t misunderstand.
It’s not because Lu Wenwu’s a pervert.
It’s mainly because her undergarment was the only clean item; using anything else would end up making it dirtier.
Su Qinghong twisted and turned, not moving from her spot. Even when Lu Wenwu called her “big brother,” she didn’t argue this time.
“Come on, big brother, why are you standing there dazed?” Lu Wenwu looked at her, puzzled.
“Oh, I slacked off during my youth and didn’t learn Soul Searching! I’m not good at it~”
The supermodel Big Fox Lady finally revealed a touch of the Fox Race’s shyness for the first time.
She blinked her big eyes, holding her fair face and stuck out a little red tongue in an attempt to act cute.
Unfortunately, it didn’t work where it mattered.
“What a useless creature, utterly hopeless!” Lu Wenwu’s words were full of disdain, “Useless at everything, nothing left unfinished, not even growing where it should. You clearly dishonor your famous bloodline inheritance among all Shen Zhou People!”
In the end, the slightly knowledgeable Kashan bravely came forward, almost breaking the woman’s soul through a read, finally piecing together some information.
Ghost Master, as the name suggests, one who binds ghostly creatures.
By incorporating ghostly creatures within themselves, they suppress and control them, thereby gaining a ghost’s formidable yet eerie power.
They can even kill through specific rule-bound killings, akin to urban legends.
Somewhat like the tailed beasts in Naruto.
Compared to the reckless onslaughts of Evolvers and Superpower Users, Ghost Masters perhaps need a bit more brainpower to kill.
Playing them requires more than just low intelligence.
However, the success of Ghost Master may also lead to its downfall.
The more and stronger ghostly creatures they control, the more they are swayed by the ghosts’ negative instincts.
In parallel, stronger willpower is needed.
If the willpower is insufficient, they appear deranged, violent, bloodthirsty, anti-human, and anti-society.
The female Ghost Master was evidently exhibiting such behavior, thus seeming mentally unsound.
Her name wasn’t discerned.
However, that’s insignificant.
It was indeed she who killed the people at the Giant Bone Gathering Place, even when she was in Tier Four.
She had plotted it for many years.
Spending years, she used a particular ability of her ghostly creature to mark each Transcendent in the camp, then led her followers, stirring mutative tides into a massacre at the Giant Bone Gathering Place, generating vast resentful souls and energy.
Ultimately, she slaughtered her entire crew as sacrificial offerings, birthing a formidable ghostly creature, harnessing an immensely powerful rule-based killing technique.
The ghostly creature, once manifested, connected to the female Ghost Master’s pre-marked targets, incrementally extracting and devouring souls.
The Ghost Master then seized the opportunity to control the ghostly creature and contained it within her.
This process was swift.
Once she fully merged with the ghostly creature, numerous souls were immediately devoured.
Countless Transcendents and Superpower Users underwent a vast blood sacrifice, successfully promoting the female Ghost Master to the Tier Five seat.
Ordinarily, this should mark the rise of a villainous hero.
Unexpectedly, she encountered a monstrous entity like Lu Wenwu.
With one punch, sensing his domineering power, her death was assured, to the extent that not even grass would grow on her grave…
