CHAPTER 64: CHAPTER 64: MUTATED PROFOUND YIN GHOST MOTHER

His gaze turned toward the direction of the screams, and he saw a beam of light shaking continuously in the darkness.

Behind that beam of light was a shadow drifting back and forth. When the light occasionally swept over it, the shadow revealed itself to be a Secret Spirit dressed in red, with disheveled hair covering its face and long, claw-like nails on both hands. Amidst the swinging hair, a hint of a blood-red eye was faintly visible.

"Xuan Yin Ghost Mother!" Although he couldn’t see clearly, Chen Guan immediately guessed what kind of Secret Spirit it was.

He had done a lot of homework before coming here, so he naturally knew what the Xuan Yin Ghost Mother looked like.

The person being chased by the Xuan Yin Ghost Mother was evidently a Cultivator wearing a headlamp. However, because of the headlamp, his appearance was obscured.

Chen Guan had no intention of fleeing. The Xuan Yin Ghost Mother was a Level 10 rare Secret Spirit, and once off the Island of the Fifteenth of July, it would be difficult to find another rare Secret Spirit.

Having encountered such a one with difficulty, how could Chen Guan let it go?

The person also noticed Chen Guan, but since Chen Guan was also wearing a headlamp, he couldn’t discern what kind of person Chen Guan was.

"Brother up ahead, give me a hand, and let’s kill the Xuan Yin Ghost Mother together. Anything it drops will be yours," the man shouted as he ran towards Chen Guan.

As they got a bit closer, in the light of the headlamp, Chen Guan saw the person twisting and turning his body, constantly maneuvering around the Xuan Yin Ghost Mother with body movements as exquisite as those of the Ghost Mother.

One should know that the Xuan Yin Ghost Mother possessed the Ghost Shadow Step, which was more formidable than the Seven Profound Steps. Coupled with her natural speed and mobility surpassing humans, even a Cultivator of the same Level, possessing a rare quality body technique, would find it hard to compare in speed with her.

Even Cultivators of the same Level with unparalleled body techniques might not be faster than the Xuan Yin Ghost Mother. This is a natural physical advantage that Secret Spirits have, unattainable by humans.

Although the man was slower than the Xuan Yin Ghost Mother, his footwork was truly unpredictable, causing the Xuan Yin Ghost Mother’s faster attacks to miss time and again. Clearly, both his footwork and his innate abilities were extraordinary.

Chen Guan pointed his finger, summoning the Mutated Tomb Master, charging forward alongside Rouge.

Although Rouge and the Mutated Tomb Master’s Levels were not yet 10, a bit lower than the Xuan Yin Ghost Mother, their quality and Growth Rate stood out, making it impossible to be outperformed when fighting two against one.

When the man saw Chen Guan release his pets, he initially felt pleased, but his heart sank upon recognizing one of them as the Evil Adorable Rabbit.

Even with rare quality, the Evil Adorable Rabbit wasn’t worth intense cultivation. Anyone who used the Evil Adorable Rabbit as their main pet likely wouldn’t have strong abilities.

The other pet looked strange and unfamiliar, suggesting it couldn’t be very powerful.

With an ordinary Xuan Yin Ghost Mother, those two pets might have delayed her for a while, but this Xuan Yin Ghost Mother was different—it was a mutated variant, which was why he was in such dire straits.

Duan Shulin, seeing the situation as it was, shouted to Chen Guan after brushing past Rouge and the Tomb Master: "Those two pets of yours aren’t enough; run away quickly."

Saying this, Duan Shulin sprinted past Chen Guan like a gust of wind without looking back.

After running a distance and hearing no footsteps or other sounds behind him, Duan Shulin couldn’t help but glance back, seeing Chen Guan still standing there, staring dumbly at the Xuan Yin Ghost Mother.

The Evil Adorable Rabbit and the other pet were already confronting the Xuan Yin Ghost Mother. The pet, with its four arms and legs like a skeletal spider, directly advanced on the Ghost Mother.

"What an idiot! Facing the Xuan Yin Ghost Mother head-on—does he not know she has the Profound Nether Yin Fire Palm? Unless a Secret Spirit possesses an Unparalleled Secret Skill, opposing the Profound Nether Yin Fire Palm head-on inevitably leads to severe losses, and even more so with this mutated Xuan Yin Ghost Mother," Duan Shulin increased his pace.

Originally, he thought those two pets might hold up for a few seconds, but now it seemed they would be overcome in an instant, unable to delay at all.

As expected, the Xuan Yin Ghost Mother used the Profound Nether Yin Fire Palm. To Duan Shulin’s astonishment, instead of being slain by a single strike, the odd-looking pet clutched her palm with its own.

In the next second, the Tomb Master, with its four arms and legs, tightened around her like an octopus. It wielded the Heart Shattering Claw with its four hands. While the Ghost Mother blocked two of the claws, she had no more hands to defend against the other two, resulting in her body being pinned and confined by the Tomb Master.

The Xuan Yin Ghost Mother let out a shriek, attempting to muster power to break away from the claws piercing her body, but it was already too late.

The Rouge Rabbit leaped from behind the Tomb Master, striking the Xuan Yin Ghost Mother’s head with a slash from the Bloodsucking Saber, severing her head clean off.

Witnessing this, Duan Shulin’s eyes widened, and he halted his fleeing steps.

"Damn, are those two pets that fierce? That odd pet could withstand the Profound Nether Yin Fire Palm, and the Evil Adorable Rabbit could kill the Xuan Yin Ghost Mother with one blow, and a mutated one at that. This is insane. How does that Evil Adorable Rabbit even have a saber? When did it acquire a Secret Treasure?" Duan Shulin stared in amazement at the two pets.

As the Xuan Yin Ghost Mother’s body fell, black smoky particles floated away, converging into Chen Guan’s hand, soon condensing into a black Secret Core.

Chen Guan was not surprised by how quickly the Xuan Yin Ghost Mother was killed. Having chosen to come to the Profound Yin Cave, he had done his homework.

The Profound Nether Yin Fire Palm can imbalance yin and yang, and the Yin Fire could deplete Primordial Energy, but its effect was almost negligible against the Tomb Master, possessing the Yin Yang Ecstasy Body and the Yin Yang Union Technique.

Unless one split the Tomb Master in half, its Yin Yang Power’s unity was nearly unshakable. It wasn’t precisely the bane of the Profound Nether Yin Fire Palm, but the Yin Fire Force found it difficult to harm.

If not for this, Chen Guan wouldn’t dare venture into the Profound Yin Cave so confidently.

Chen Guan originally thought he was lucky, thinking he might have obtained the Secret Core of the Profound Nether Yin Fire Palm. However, upon checking the Secret Core’s details, he found it to be a body technique Secret Skill named Senluo Ghost Step.

Much to Chen Guan’s surprise, this Secret Skill’s quality turned out to be singular, not the rare quality he initially assumed.
