Chapter 123: Chapter 119 Kill! Chapter 123: Chapter 119 Kill! “Could it be that all the Nether Kings of the Underworld are dead? Has the entire Netherworld long been ruled by evil spirits, so much so that the Ghost Mother Yaksha has rebelled out of Hell?”

“That’s not right either! Even so, it should appear in the world of ‘Black Myth: The Fated One,’ how could it possibly appear in the real world?”

“Moreover, this Ghost Mother Yaksha’s cultivation is not shallow. It seems she has been entrenched in these waters for hundreds of years!”

Li Ping’an stared at the Ghost Mother Yaksha across the water, while the Ghost Mother Yaksha seemed unaware that Li Ping’an had discovered her.

At this moment, one man and one ghostly mother Yaksha just stared eerily across the lake, silently sizing each other up, calculating.

“This thing is much harder to deal with than the Fierce Ghost Xiao Xianlü in the Silver Dragon Hotel! Probably stronger than the Human-Headed Dog Demon!”

Li Ping’an somewhat regretted being recklessly confident; he should have taken his weapon and worn his equipment to deal with this Hell Ghost. However, since he was still in the probing stage and not yet fighting, for safety’s sake, Li Ping’an continued to use Divine Power: Insight into the Hidden to observe the attributes of the Ghost Mother Yaksha:

Ghost Mother Yaksha, 400 years old, Fourth-tier Ghost Cultivator, Strength: 60, Mana: 20, Defense: 50

Four Disasters resistance:

Cold Immunity (water): 50%, Fire Immunity: 0%, Poison Immunity: 0%, Lightning Immunity: 0%

“Damn, that scared me to death; I thought it was some deadly creature. It’s just one realm higher than the Human-Headed Dog Demon and can resist water system spells!”

Only then did Li Ping’an completely relax. He could easily deal with this Ghost Mother Yaksha even without wearing any weapon or equipment!

While he and the Ghost Mother Yaksha were probing each other, Li Ping’an also discovered a problem: this Ghost Mother Yaksha was not only more formidable than the previously encountered Fierce Ghost Xiao Xianlü and Human-Headed Dog Demon but also this demonic entity had already cultivated human consciousness and intelligence; otherwise, it would have already dragged him into the water.

Now that this Ghost Mother Yaksha had intelligence, there would be some fun. Li Ping’an grinned mischievously, flicked the Ghost Mother Yaksha on the forehead, then provocatively gave her the middle finger.

This Ghost Mother Yaksha was truly extraordinary; facing such provocation from Li Ping’an, she didn’t get angry. Instead, she grinned eerily at Li Ping’an, mimicking all of Li Ping’an’s provocative gestures, flicking her own forehead and giving the middle finger, which bewildered Li Ping’an.

“Ah, you demonic thing, how dare you imitate me…”

As Li Ping’an was cursing in anger, suddenly, the Ghost Mother Yaksha sensed Li Ping’an’s fury and made the first move. A sharp blade emerged from the tip of her red umbrella, and she fiercely raised it, stabbing towards Li Ping’an’s chest. The previously calmer surface of the water shattered like broken glass instantly.

Just as Li Ping’an was about to leap back to dodge this strike, the Ghost Mother Yaksha anticipated Li Ping’an’s prediction, shook her head fiercely, and her shoulder-length hair grew rapidly, becoming not only longer and finer but also sharp and spiky, like countless sharp steel needles, stabbing up from under the water, enveloping him from all sides.

Almost at the moment Li Ping’an was pierced by the red umbrella and enveloped by countless sharp hairs, Li Ping’an remained extraordinarily calm, and quickly formed the Five-colored Lotus Seal.

Suddenly, a giant five-colored lotus water screen appeared on the water surface, centered at Li Ping’an’s feet, enveloping him within it, not only preserving Li Ping’an’s life but also blocking the two unexpected attacks from the Ghost Mother Yaksha.

The Five-colored Lotus Seal was one of Li Ping’an’s crucial life-saving strategies. With his increased cultivation, it had now taken a physical form, the infused lake water constantly swirling within, incredibly beautiful, resembling a water lotus blooming on the surface!

Ghost Mother Yaksha bit her teeth, continuously stabbing the red umbrella and her sharp hair onto the Five-colored Lotus Seal, but to no avail; she didn’t make an inch of progress. Instead, the hand that clutched the red umbrella trembled with pain, and her sharp hair was shattered, dissipating as black mist.

Having witnessed Li Ping’an’s prowess, Ghost Mother Yaksha’s face no longer bore the ghostly smile but morphed into a ferocious one. She realized she was combating an Immortal and was completely outmatched. After casting a resentful glance at Li Ping’an, her entire ghostly body attempted to dive into the water. Since she couldn’t defeat him, she aimed to retract into the lake—her home ground, which favored her for ambushing Li Ping’an.

“Trying to run after acting tough?”

Li Ping’an snorted softly, withdrew the Five-colored Lotus Seal, and rapidly formed the Five Peaks Seal. He then suddenly crouched and fiercely slapped the water surface.

The next second, the sky above Li Ping’an’s head spontaneously lowered five mountain peaks that intermittently appeared and disappeared. They had grown from hill-sized to mountain peak-sized since their last appearance, a testament to their power having increased by more than a hundredfold.

In an instant, winds surged and clouds roiled around Li Ping’an. At the moment when the Five Peaks Seal smashed toward Ghost Mother Yaksha, it conjured waves tens of meters high, spectacular as a dragon drawing water, leaving Yuan Qingfeng, Zhang Chi, and others utterly stunned and dumbfounded, while Yuan Furong watched Li Ping’an battle the ghost with even greater admiration.

The five mountain peaks pressed towards Ghost Mother Yaksha, crushing her from the lake surface all the way to the bottom, causing the whole lake to stir up large patches of black sediment.

At that moment, Jiuyan Spring, which typically showed only a meter of water depth, turned exceptionally transparent. Seizing this chance, Li Ping’an saw Ghost Mother Yaksha suppressed under the mountain peaks at the lake’s bottom, continuously spitting black blood.

“Thought you could hide underwater and I’d be powerless? Soul Collecting!”

Li Ping’an’s right hand covered the immobile Ghost Mother Yaksha, and she uncontrollably swam towards his palm.

Ao!

Just as Li Ping’an was collecting her soul, she suddenly screamed ferociously, emitting an extraordinarily piercing sound like steel needles, painfully stinging Li Ping’an’s ears, and also affecting the onlookers nearby. Birds circling above Jiuyan Spring were shaken into the lake.

With no other choice, Li Ping’an had to abandon the soul collecting and quickly covered his ears. Ghost Mother Yaksha found her escape. Her face morphed from anger to fear again as she realized Li Ping’an’s formidable abilities and fled like a fish slipping through the net, frantically dodging everywhere.

“Five Peaks Seal!”

Li Ping’an formed the hand seal again, intending to suppress Ghost Mother Yaksha before ruthlessly dealing the final blow. However, the now-frightened Ghost Mother Yaksha dared not provoke Li Ping’an any further. Relying on the lake, her home ground, she moved much faster than the descending speed of Li Ping’an’s Five Peaks Seal, narrowly avoiding each strike.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosive sounds continuously emerged from the surface of Jiuyan Spring, like someone dynamiting fish, turning the whole lake turbid. Even more so, the lake’s water exploded everywhere, drenching Yuan Furong, Yuan Qingfeng, Zhang Chi, and other onlookers at the shore, leaving them soaked through!
