"You? Mr. Mu, are you willing to help?"

A look of great joy appeared on Lei Yunzi's face as he gazed at Xiao Mu excitedly.

In his view, if Xiao Mu was willing to take action, it would certainly be more reassuring than if Qing Songzi were to step forward.

Qing Songzi also looked at Xiao Mu with surprise, but asked, "Mr. Mu, are you confident?"

"I do have some confidence."

Xiao Mu humbly replied and then asked Qing Songzi again, "Mr. Qing Songzi, how about you let me handle this battle?"

"If that's the case, Mr. Mu, please do so!"

Lei Yunzi immediately agreed, his anxious expression was as if he was afraid that Xiao Mu would suddenly change his mind.

However, Qing Songzi was somewhat worried, "I know Mr. Mu has been practicing the Taoist Law, but the temple is too narrow and you're not suited for close combat, I'm afraid…"

Xiao Mu knew what Qing Songzi was worried about, "Mr. Qing Songzi, you worry too much. I never intended to take action myself. This clay figurine is too strange, my strongest attack method, the True Fire Talisman, may not work. I plan to deal with it in other ways…"

With that said, he suddenly drew the Peach Wood Sword and released his Ghost Servant.

"Ghost Servant!"

Both Qing Songzi and Lei Yunzi recognized Xiao Mu's Ghost Servant at a glance.

Following that, Qing Songzi shook his head again, "Mr. Mu's Ghost Servant is strong and should be able to hold its own against the clay figurine in a direct combat, but... that black light is too weird, I'm afraid even the Ghost Servant might not be able to resist it."

"I understand all of Mr. Qing Songzi's concerns."

Xiao Mu gave a slight smile,"Besides, I guess this black light, although powerful, is absolutely not invincible."

"Furthermore, the more unusual something is, the more restrictions it has; the stronger something is, the more apparent its shortcomings."

"Therefore, in my opinion, this black light should be able to deal with those either equal in strength to the clay figurine or weaker."

"If it's more powerful than the clay figurine, the black light might have no effect at all."

"If you surpass the clay figurine in strength, the black light becomes ineffective?"

Both Qing Songzi and Lei Yunzi looked at Xiao Mu in surprise.

Xiao Mu said, "This is just my guess, but I think it makes sense. Otherwise, if this black light could immobilize any existence, wouldn't this clay figurine be invincible?"

These words made sense, causing both Qing Songzi and Lei Yunzi to fall into silence.

After a while, Qing Songzi glanced at the Ghost Servant and said, "But, Mr. Mu, the Ghost Servant's strength is about the same as ours, on par with the clay figurine."

"Even if, as per Mr. Mu's theory, the black light is ineffective against those more powerful than the clay figurine, the Ghost Servant still can't resist it."

"Mr. Qing Songzi makes a good point."

Xiao Mu nodded, then smiled, "That's why I plan to temporarily boost the Ghost Servant's power."

"Temporarily boost the Ghost Servant's power?"

Both Qing Songzi and Lei Yunzi looked at Xiao Mu with puzzled expressions on their faces.

They couldn't figure out how Xiao Mu would temporarily boost the Ghost Servant's power.

Xiao Mu didn't explain further, he pulled out the evil bead and tossed it directly to the Ghost Servant.

The Ghost Servant caught the evil bead, immediately sat down and began cultivating, activating the Ghost King Scripture, with a golden light flashing all over his body, starting to absorb the malignant energy from the evil bead.

This time, Xiao Mu had accumulated quite a few evil beads.

As the evil bead was absorbed, under the astonished gaze of Qing Songzi and Lei Yunzi, the Ghost Servant's strength increased bit by bit.

Before long, the power of the Ghost Servant had broken through, exceeding the current level on par with the Blue Blood Demon, reaching the level comparable to the Red Blood Demon.

At this moment, the evil bead in Xiao Mu's hand was also completely depleted.

Xiao Mu nodded in satisfaction.

At this point, the Ghost Servant truly possessed the power to contend with the Red Blood Demon.

If he were to encounter another Red Blood Demon or a Tier Three Evil Zombie in the future, even without any additional support, he would be able to deal with them fully.

Of course, there is a limit to the strength enhancement of the Ghost Servant. Within the same realm, the Ghost Servant's power can be higher than Xiao Mu's but cannot surpass his major realm.

This is a fundamental limitation of methods like the Ghost Control Technique, otherwise the master-servant roles could easily be reversed, creating confusion.

Despite this, for a Ghost Servant whose power has reached the level of the Red Blood Demon, Xiao Mu is quite satisfied.

"Thi... This..."

Having noticed the increased strength of the Ghost Servant, both Qing Songzi and Lei Yunzi were stunned.

Qing Songzi was amazed, "Mr. Mu, the power of your Ghost Servant seems to have advanced to the same level as the Red Blood Demon!"

"Mr. Qing Songzi, you have keen eyesight!"

Xiao Mu casually praised.

"Shh!"

Confirmed by Xiao Mu's words, both Qing Songzi and Lei Yunzi drew deep breaths involuntarily.

At present, among all the Mutated Beings in the world, most of the powerful are still only in the mid Third Realm. As for the latter stages, whether anyone has reached them, they do not know, but even if there were, they would not exceed the number of fingers on one hand.

They didn't expect Xiao Mu's Ghost Servant to have achieved this level of power already.

How could this not surprise them?

Xiao Mu himself is already powerful enough, yet the strength of his Ghost Servant is even greater. His own power is likely equivalent to several others combined.

Xiao Mu saw the surprised looks on Qing Songzi and Lei Yunzi's faces but didn't offer any explanations.

He casually applied a Divine Armor Talisman to the Ghost Servant, pointed towards the Clay Figurine, and, brandishing the Soul Blade, the Ghost Servant immediately began to head towards the dilapidated temple.

The Clay Figurine seemed to sense a great threat. The moment the Ghost Servant stepped into the temple, a rolling wave of nefastious light was released, Blood Qi tumbling, its four arms waving wildly, attempting to kill the Ghost Servant.

Xiao Mu took this opportunity to throw out a True Fire Talisman, aiming it at the Clay Figurine.

The Clay Figurine completely ignored it, indifferent to the True Fire Talisman that hit it.

The True Fire Talisman hit the Clay Figurine and ignited, but quickly extinguished.

This Clay Figurine actually isn't afraid of this kind of fire measure at all.

Xiao Mu shook his head slightly, although he had anticipated this, he still couldn't resist trying. The result of the experiment was indeed as he had guessed.

To deal with this kind of Clay Figurine, the True Fire Talisman was useless. In the end, he would still need to rely on the Ghost Servant.

"Heh, heh!"

Chortling eerily from its throat, the Ghost Servant swung the Soul Blade, emitting a thunderous Blade Aura sound as it repeatedly struck the Figurine.

The Clay Figurine swung its four arms wildly to block the Soul Blade of the Ghost Servant but was immediately suppressed, its body carved up by the Ghost Servant's Soul Blade.

This Clay Figurine's strength is at most equivalent to a mid-level Bone Forger Realm Martial artist, its main strength lies in its nefarious techniques.

Beyond that, there was not much to it. How could its true strength possibly withstand the Ghost Servant who has leveled up with a Red Blood Demon?

In no time, the Clay Figurine was repeatedly wounded by the Ghost Servant, with thick black blood flowing from the cracks in its body.

As the black blood flowed out, a stunned expression appeared on the Clay Figurine's face, as if a living person were scared by an injury, which was horrifying to witness.

"Hee, hee, hee, hee!"

The Clay Figurine let out another eerie chuckle from its mouth, its eyes widened, and a black light shot out from them, directed towards the Ghost Servant.

The Ghost Servant, covered by the Divine Armor Talisman, disregarded the black light and chose to resist physically. At the same time, it swung the Soul Blade, targeting the Clay Figurine's head.

Boom!

The black light hit the Ghost Servant but didn't paralyze him like it had done to Lei Yunzi earlier. It didn't even trigger the Divine Armor Talisman.

The Ghost Servant's Soul Blade, however, took advantage of this opportunity to strike the Clay Figurine on its neck, beheading it with a single swing.

Thick black blood spewed out, and the Clay Figurine fell to the ground, its power completely dissipated.
