Mutated Twins

Sensing the increased potency of his black and white spiritual energy, Mu Yu had a short think, then queried, “Will Ghost Gate’s members know if I destroy a twin?”

“They’ll have to deal with their twin’s vengeance.”

“Vengeance, you say?” Mu Yu nodded.

“Elemental demons’ souls suck compared to human souls; thirty bloody elemental demons’ souls can’t compare to one human soul for crying out loud,” complained Gui Dalang, a Primordial Infant Realm disciple from division thirty-nine currently stationed at Black Bamboo City. He looked over to his aloof twin that performed excellently in yesterday’s successful defensive battle and smiled. “Gui Daquan, I honestly miss the old you. War is great. I’d never be able to collect souls, otherwise.”

Gui Dalang, who was the leader of a team of thirty Golden Core Realm disciples assembled from numerous sects, did not have the foggiest idea why they had to fight the battle, but collecting two hundred souls, nine of which were human souls, in two hours was not a bad deal to him. Besides, they could collect souls without dealing with cultivators figuratively spitting on them since they were not killing fellow humans.

A middle-aged Golden Core Realm cultivator flitted over and genuflected at Gui Dalang’s feet. “Pang Gaorong, reporting in.”

“What did you find out?”

“I have captured forty ordinary humans for you.”

“Bring them to me.”

“Right away.”

Pang Gaorong quickly came back with four ordinary humans shaking in their boots. The innocent folks, ranging from children to adults, fled their village nearby to take refuge at Dark Bamboo City, only for Pang Gaorong to apprehend them.

“On your knees!”

Gui Dalang got up and demanded of a buff, tanned and honest man, “Get up.”

“Not bad. Your soul should be decent.” Gui Dalang snapped the man’s neck. “Bro, I have some replenishment for you.”

With a flick of his hand, Gui Dalang had his twin go and extract the man’s soul. The twin then indifferently crushed the man’s soul, while the latter could only watch on in despair.

“Please spare us, Immortal Masters!”

“Enjoy these human souls. Their souls aren’t as high quality as that of cultivators, but they’re not half bad, Br-, hmm?” Gui Dalang thought he saw his twin’s eyes came to life for a second, so he took a second look. “What’s going on? Why can’t I control his mind? Crap! Crap!”

Gui Dalang discharged ghost qi to subdue his twin; however, his twin countered with a discharge of his own.

“I’m alive? Gui Dalang, let me give you a taste of being a puppet!” Gui Dalang’s twin threatened.

“How will you fight me when you’re a mere soul?!” Though he sounded confident, Gui Dalang was aware his twin was equally strong.

“The fact that you fed me thirty souls yesterday will be your undoing; you haven’t had enough time to transfer the soul energy from me to yourself. From now on, you’re my puppet!”

“Yeah right!”

Gui Dalang jumped back to Pang Gaorong’s side and, out of nowhere, splattered the latter’s head for his soul. Gui Dalang pulled out a ghost banner, as well, yet it still was not enough to beat his twin, prompting him to target the other cultivators.

The cultivators hurtled, though not every single one managed to outrun Gui Dalang. None of the ordinary folks had any chance of outrunning the spreading ghost qi between the two, resulting in them wilting away just as all other living organisms in their way did.

Damn it, I still need more. How did he regain his conscious? There’s nothing wrong with either of our bodies. I thought my physical body needed to be destroyed for him to regain his conscious, mulled Gui Dalang.

Bang! Gui Dalang’s twin chased after the reeling main body and got a grip on his head. “Goodbye!”
