89: Chapter Hell's Drug Dealer
Lin Mo chuckled inwardly.
In an instant, the mourning staff swung wildly at the Ghost King's face like a fierce storm, his hands moving, leaving countless afterimages.
- 254.5 billion!
- 455.4 billion!
...Damage numbers continuously floated upwards.
Night Shade's face was struck like a rattle drum, shaking violently from side to side.
In truth, from the moment Night Shade stepped into the Nightmare Illusion, the outcome of the battle was already decided; only a one-sided crushing remained.
The entire Hall of Yanluo was dead silent.
All the Underworld Messengers and Ghost Commanders stared at the battered Night Shade, their minds blank, completely unable to think.
Even King Guang of Qin couldn't maintain his composure.
No way, what the hell is going on?
A young man at the entry-level of Ascension actually beating up a Ghost King at the Heavenly Dao realm!?
The key is, where did the mourning staff in his hand come from?
As a mortal, how could he possess something from the Underworld?
Suddenly, White Impermanence, who was hiding in a corner, trembled and knelt out proactively, stammering.
"It's my fault, I lost something from the Underworld."
He quickly pleaded guilty to King Guang of Qin, "This is the one I lost in the southern part of Dragon Country... that, since Ghost King Lin found it, can he return it to me?"
Lin Mo stopped his hand and said disdainfully, "I say, you long-tongued ghost, is your name carved on this stick? It's clearly my family heirloom."
White Impermanence said aggrievedly, "But when I call it, it really answers!"
This was indeed the mourning staff that White Impermanence had lost a hundred years ago.
Lin Mo stared at White Impermanence with cold eyes, squeezing out a few words through gritted teeth: "Are you sure..."
White Impermanence shrank his neck, thinking to himself: Holy crap? That gaze could kill. The Underworld already has one King Guang of Qin, is this another living King Yanluo?
"Alright, alright. Tomorrow, we will march with the heroic spirits. Meeting adjourned."
King Guang of Qin was also too lazy to dwell on these trivial matters, waving his hand to announce the end of the court session.
As soon as the court adjourned, the Hell Succubus clung to him, saying sweetly:
"You're so handsome! You actually defeated Night Shade. Why didn't I notice your strong body last time? This time, I must explore it thoroughly."
Night Shade snapped out of the illusion.
Listening to their conversation, he gritted his teeth with hatred: "Lin Mo, you deserve to die..."
To be cuckolded in public, this feeling was too unbearable.
He felt dizzy.
The surrounding Ghost Kings seemed to be whispering and laughing at him.
He just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
His heart was full of
distress,
heartbreak,
collapse,
heart-wrenching pain
and agony... The next day.
Lin Mo fought all night, yet he was still in high spirits.
This was thanks to his previous training with the Ghost Servant, otherwise he would have collapsed long ago.
As soon as he left the house, Ox-Head and Horse-Face were already waiting downstairs, and had even prepared a special sedan chair.
After Lin Mo got into the sedan chair, Ox-Head said with concern:
"Ghost King Lin, this journey to the Multiverse Battlefield is extremely dangerous, with many races. You must be careful and cautious."
Horse-Face also leaned in and said, "This is a small token of appreciation from us brothers. Please accept it."
【Congratulations! You have obtained: Hell's 18th Layer】
【Hell's 18th Layer】
【Realm: Earth Immortal】
【Item Description: Creates an eighteen-layered hell in an area. Entering it will lead to a dungeon of the 18th Layer of Hell, which is extremely dangerous.】
Lin Mo's eyes lit up; it was another item that created a dungeon.
The T-virus item he had obtained before was already powerful enough, and now he encountered such a treasure.
If it were in the human world, tsk tsk tsk... it would definitely be a great weapon.
However, an unsolicited favor usually hides ulterior motives. Lin Mo knew that he wasn't that close with Ox-Head and Horse-Face, and they must have an agenda for giving him this item.
Sure enough, Horse-Face beat around the bush for a long time before circling back to the point:
"You were so handsome yesterday!"
"You publicly beat up Ghost King Night Shade and even gave him a big green hat!"
"You're incredible!"
"Yes, you must be the strongest in the Underworld, and you'll definitely be among the top in this campaign!"
"But us brothers are a bit curious, with such a big difference in your realms, how exactly did you win?"
It was just as he thought.
Lin Mo casually took out an item and said:
"This thing is high-tech, embodying the pinnacle of mortal wisdom, and very precious.
Since we're good buddies, I'll give you two a dose."
【You have lost: compound no. 9 X1】
"Take one before battling a goddess. Your attribute values will double, but there's a time limit, so you have to inflict maximum damage on the opponent in the shortest possible time."
Upon hearing this, Horse-Face anxiously said:
"No,
there are two of us,
why do you only give one dose?"
Lin Mo smiled knowingly:
"If this stuff were common, everyone would be a god, and then it would be like no one's a god."
In this Underworld, the compound no. 9 taken from Homelander could still be used for trade, which was much more effective than Soul Coins.
"Brother, I'll take out another valuable item. Please give me one more dose!"
"This stuff is extremely precious."
Horse-Face's face had already contorted into a donkey's, showing how much it pained him to take out the item.
【Congratulations! You have obtained: Lycoris Radiata X10】
【Lycoris Radiata】
【Realm: Earth Immortal】
【Item Description: Flower of the shores of life and death, growing on the banks of the River Styx, carrying the power of life and death. Can be used on Ghost Servants to increase overall attributes by 5%. Each Ghost Servant can only use it once.】
This was indeed a good item.
A 5% increase for each, and with six Ghost Servants, he could boost his overall combat power by 30%.
The Underworld truly had many treasures, but unfortunately, he didn't have time to properly explore and plunder them.
"Alright, since you're so generous, brother, I'll give you my last dose, which I was originally saving for a critical moment to show off!"
The two were overjoyed.
With this item used at a critical moment, they would definitely advance and get promoted in the evaluation competition.
They thanked him all the way.
They returned to the Hall of Yanluo again.
As soon as they got out of the sedan chair, yesterday's White Impermanence blocked their way.
Lin Mo frowned slightly.
"What, still want your mourning staff back? I'm telling you, don't even think about it!"
"No, you misunderstand."
"I'm just very curious how you defeated Night Shade. Please just tell me, and I won't let you suffer a loss."
"Is that so..."
Lin Mo took out another dose of 【compound no. 9】.
Ox-Head and Horse-Face: "..."
"No."
"Ghost King Lin?"
"Are you messing with us two?"
"You just said you had the last dose, how do you have another one?"
Lin Mo scratched the back of his head, played dumb, and chuckled:
"A cunning rabbit has three burrows. One should always leave a way out for oneself. Of course I have to keep one for myself. Understanding is everything."
"I promise! This is absolutely the last dose. If he doesn't show sincerity, I really won't give it!"
White Impermanence: "..."
【Congratulations! You have obtained: Impermanence Token】
【Impermanence Token】
【Realm: Earth Immortal】
【Item Description: Immediately summons Black and White Impermanence to assist in battle for 24 hours after use.】
"This item is a token that my brother Black Impermanence and I refined over 500 years. If you encounter danger, just call us brothers!"
"We brothers will definitely come if there's trouble! Rest assured, you protected me, and we two will definitely protect you!"
White Impermanence patted his chest.
Lin Mo chuckled.
"Easy to say, easy to say."
