Blood Shadow Ghost Mother

Zhang You and the old Daoist reacted with incredible speed, dodging the incoming attacks.

"Blood Shadow Ghost Mother, what do you think you're doing, you old hag!"

Seeing the old woman with a cane, exuding a sinister aura, outside the door, the old Daoist roared in anger.

"Qingyuan Old Daoist, this has nothing to do with you. Get lost! I'm killing this little bastard today!"

The Blood Shadow Ghost Mother was a short, old woman.

She was hunched over, her face devoid of flesh, like skin stretched over bone.

Her face was a roadmap of wrinkles, more wrinkled than a chicken's skin.

Her eye sockets were sunken deep, like two abyssal hollows where her eyeballs should have been.

Yet, her hair was jet black, lustrous, and thick, enough to make most people suffering from hair loss envious.

The clothes she wore were tattered and torn, revealing patches of blackened skin.

At this moment, she slammed her cane onto the ground, and blood began to flow from the walls of the great hall, revealing countless footprints within it.

"Old Daoist, isn't that old woman an evil cultivator? Aren't you going to exterminate demons and uphold righteousness?"

Zhang You stretched his limbs and twisted his neck, appearing nonchalant.

"Gya ha ha! Exterminate demons? You little brat, you really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Do you think he dares? Can he even do it?"

The Blood Shadow Ghost Mother cackled as if she had heard the funniest joke.

She then added sinisterly, "It seems you're just a little kid who hasn't even grown his pubic hair, new to the cultivation world, aren't you?"

How could a man say no?

Zhang You looked at the old Daoist, utterly bewildered, as if to say, Aren't you going to retort?

"Old hag, don't think I'm afraid of you just because your cultivation level is higher than mine!"

The old Daoist's face contorted in displeasure. He hadn't expected this old hag to publicly humiliate him, putting him in such an awkward position.

However, his bravado seemed a little hollow.

"You should leave first. This old hag is here for me; it has little to do with you!"

He had been searching for the blue-white energy needed for his eighth Body Tempering, and now that it had come to him, he wouldn't be polite.

As Zhang You spoke, he took a step forward, his blood energy erupting. He glared at the Blood Shadow Ghost Mother outside and said, "Come on, you sent two Blood Shadows to kill me, and I haven't even found you yet, but you're the one in a hurry!"

He had already sensed that the Blood Shadow Ghost Mother's strength was far greater than the Headless Corpse Evil's when it transformed. Although he didn't know if he could handle it, he had no other choice.

Licking his slightly dry lips, he scanned his surroundings before finally fixing his gaze on the Blood Shadow Ghost Mother.

This is all experience for Body Tempering; I can't let it go!

"Begone!"

Zhang You seized the opportunity and kicked the old Daoist out of the great hall.

At this moment, the Blood Shadow Ghost Mother remained still, but the bloody footprints within the great hall began to multiply, closing in on Zhang You.

"Four Symbols: White Tiger: Thunderclap!"

This move was perfectly suited for large-scale area attacks.

A sonic wave spread out from Zhang You's center, instantly expanding outwards, accompanied by faint arcs of electricity.

"Pop! Pop! Pop…"

"Gyaaa…"

Sounds of shattering echoed throughout the great hall, along with piercing screams.

After unleashing his move, Zhang You didn't pause and charged directly at the Blood Shadow Ghost Mother.

His body was enveloped in blood qi, laced with faint arcs of electricity. He held nothing back, charging out of the great hall like a bolt of lightning.

"How dare you! But you will still die!"

The Blood Shadow Ghost Mother saw her refined Blood Shadows obliterated by Zhang You's attack. She didn't pay much attention, her eyes merely fixed on Zhang You with intense killing intent as he charged towards her.

As Zhang You closed in, a blood spring suddenly appeared beneath her, bubbling with viscous blood.

With a raise of her hand, skulls emerged from the blood spring, numbering in the thousands in the blink of an eye.

"Blood Spring Ghost Skull!"

These skulls surged towards Zhang You, their teeth gnashed, advancing relentlessly as if to tear apart everything in their path.

"Four Symbols: White Tiger: Shatter Void!"

Zhang You's right hand formed a claw, and the blood qi around his body gradually coalesced into a massive tiger claw, several yards high, which slammed down towards the horde of skulls.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the two moves clashed, resulting in a stalemate as they directly canceled each other out in mid-air.

The tiger claw dissipated, and the skulls were pulled back into the blood spring.

"Old hag, die!"

Zhang Lin didn't stop moving, and slapped towards the Blood Shadow Ghost Mother.

"Overestimating yourself!"

The Blood Shadow Ghost Mother let out a cold sneer. The spiritual power poured into the cane in her hand was immense, and she thrust it towards Zhang Lin.

"Crack!"

The blood energy that had enveloped Zhang Lin's right hand was directly shattered.

"Not good!"

He hadn't expected the Blood Shadow Ghost Mother's attack to be so sharp. He quickly struck out with his left hand, releasing a wave of blood energy, and met the Blood Shadow Ghost Mother head-on with a palm strike.

"Pfft!"

The cane still pierced his palm by an inch.

"Boom!"

At this moment, Zhang Lin was sent flying back like a cannonball, crashing into the great hall.

From when Zhang Lin unleashed his sonic attack to his confrontation with the Blood Shadow Ghost Mother, everything happened very quickly, in just a few breaths' time.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Zhang Lin pushed away the debris on his body and stood up, coughing.

He had known beforehand that the Blood Shadow Ghost Mother was powerful, but he hadn't expected to have overestimated himself so much!

He was no match for her at the moment!

"Not bad, not bad! I didn't expect you to have learned martial arts! Hahaha! Heaven truly favors me!"

The Blood Shadow Ghost Mother's eyes gleamed as she stared at Zhang Lin, her long tongue sweeping across her lips.

She hadn't expected such a great harvest from this trip.

Although she didn't know how Zhang Lin had learned martial arts, she was no longer concerned. She understood the principle of bearing treasures that bring misfortune.

If others were to find out that there was a martial artist here, it wasn't even certain if she would get to keep him. Therefore, she couldn't afford to let Zhang Lin live.

A martial artist! What a rare specimen!

Or rather, in today's world, there was probably no second one to be found.

Such a cultivator meant that he possessed superhumanly dense blood energy. His entire body was a treasure. If she could devour him, she could not only extend her lifespan, but more importantly, she could break through her current realm and enter the Foundation Establishment stage.

"It seems you can't be left alive either!"

With this thought, the Blood Shadow Ghost Mother turned her head to look at Qingyuan Old Daoist, her eyes erupting with intense killing intent.

"Blood Demon!"

She struck a talisman into the blood spring beneath her feet.

"Gulp..."

Soon, a thirty-foot-tall blood shadow emerged from the blood spring and moved towards Qingyuan Old Daoist.

"Blood Shadow Ghost Mother, you damned bitch!"

Qingyuan Old Daoist looked at the Blood Demon approaching him, furious. This was a disaster that had befallen him!

Soon, he was locked in a fierce battle with the Blood Demon, not daring to hold back even a little.

"Wagaga! Become my old woman's nourishment obediently!"

The Blood Shadow Ghost Mother turned her head and looked at Zhang Lin.

At this moment, Zhang Lin stood still, his eyes narrowed as he stared at the Blood Shadow Ghost Mother.

The blood energy around him had not dissipated, which made the Blood Shadow Ghost Mother hesitate to act rashly.

Zhang You was quite calm because he had already absorbed dozens of blue-white energy wisps and was now undergoing his eighth Great Body Tempering!

The Blood Shadows he had eliminated in the great hall earlier were extremely valuable!

Therefore, he was not worried at all!

Under the Blood Shadow Ghost Mother's command, the Blood Shadows once again filled the great hall, pressing towards Zhang Lin.
