Chapter 614: Chapter 611 Fiery Fire Red Lotus

When the Demon Exterminating Master was about to make a move, Lin Tian was naturally happy to let her unleash a powerful technique. Dealing with the Gu worms by himself was extremely troublesome, but it was different when the Heavenly Master Girl took action.

Lin Tian pulled Kikuchi Mika to the side of the Heavenly Master Girl.

"Hey, Miss Kikuchi, why is your face so red? It looks like peach blossoms are blooming across your cheeks," Lin Tian caught sight of her pretty face, her cheeks flushed and her eyes sparkling with emotion, as if about to overflow with tears.

"How can she not be embarrassed when you’re holding her hand so tightly?" Ning Luoxi glanced at him irritably and said helplessly.

"That’s true, Miss Kikuchi, I’m really sorry, I couldn’t help but grab your hand just now. You won’t hold it against me, will you?" Lin Tian said apologetically, but his face was brimming with a smile, without a hint of genuine remorse.

Nevertheless, under Ning Luoxi’s gaze, he still let go of those soft and smooth hands.

"I won’t," Kikuchi Mika retracted her hand and said timidly, looking down and avoiding Lin Tian’s gaze.

Damn, is the nurse getting ideas about springing on me? Lin Tian thought to himself with vanity as he observed her face blushing with shyness.

He was considering whether to pursue a relationship with the charming nurse to resolve his long-standing single status when the Angel Girl’s singing voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Heaven and earth are limitless, I borrow the power of Qiankun, Fire God Decree, Fiery Fire Red Lotus, exterminate!"

The Heavenly Master Girl pinched a yellow talisman between her sword fingers, muttering an incantation. As the chant concluded, the talisman burst into flames, followed by the sudden appearance of a fiery red flower around them, its petals large and resembling a red lotus.

With a flash, the lotus flower ignited, and a ring of fire expanded rapidly outward. Wherever the fire ring passed, it burned all the Gu worms.

Series of "crackling" sounds echoed, like beans popping in a pan—the sound of insects being burned alive by the flames.

The fire ring expanded to a radius of ten meters before it vanished. Within this ten-meter radius, not a single Gu worm remained, just a layer of white ash on the ground and a faint smell of charred remains.

Oh my god, that definitely was a powerful strike! Lin Tian looked at the ground, now covered in white ash where the Gu worms used to be, giving the Heavenly Master Girl a thumbs-up.

With a flick of a talisman and a chant, she eliminated a swath of Gu worms. Her elegant motion made even Lin Tian envious—it was much cooler than punching and kicking.

Kikuchi Mika was dumbstruck, having never witnessed such splendid Daoist magic before, and she couldn’t believe that the silent "Female Ninja" could perform such powerful Daoist arts.

"This sister is so incredible," Kikuchi Mika came to her senses and exclaimed with genuine admiration, stars of adoration shining in her eyes, just like Xiao Manxuan who likewise felt envy and admiration after witnessing these Daoist arts at Fanyin Temple.

"You were hiding a Yin Yang Master all along!" exclaimed the shocked voice of the Gu Cultivator, but then he corrected himself, "No, you are Huaxia people, she’s not a Yin Yang Master, she is... a Huaxia Demon Exorcist!"

The Heavenly Master Girl took out another yellow talisman, then said, "Knowing a Demon Exorcist is here and you still won’t call off the Gu worms. If you don’t, I’ll burn them to ash, making all your years of effort go to waste."

"Sister, you’re amazing, why not burn all these Gu worms? They’re so disgusting to look at," Kikuchi Mika asked curiously, looking up at the Heavenly Master Girl with admiration.

"His Gu worms are valuable, and my talismans aren’t cheap either. Besides, drawing talismans is quite laborious," the Heavenly Master Girl said matter-of-factly, batting her eyelashes.

Lin Tian was instantly speechless upon hearing this. You’re a Demon Exorcist and even bear the title of Heavenly Master, do you really need to be so frugal?

"Hahaha..." The Gu Cultivator laughed again, his voice still hoarse and unpleasant. After he finished laughing, he said, "You really think too highly of me—a Martial Artist, a Demon Exorcist, and what’s this girl’s deal? Reveal your identity."

"Are you out of your mind? Just because you say ’reveal it,’ should I just reveal it? Isn’t that a massive loss of face? Why don’t you show your true colors first? Hurry up and call off your bugs, otherwise I’ll use them to prepare a whole insect feast," Lin Tian said loudly. These so-called experts all had something wrong with their brains, always demanding others reveal their identities.

Ning Luoxi did not remove her face-mask, which was as good as agreeing with Lin Tian’s words.

"Very well, excellent. You want to see my true face; you’ll naturally find out if you can locate me," the raspy, unpleasant voice of the Gu Cultivator continued.

As his voice faded, a whistle sounded inside the greenhouse, and the surrounding Gu worms retreated like the ebb of the tide. Shortly, not a single Gu worm was visible in the entire greenhouse.

The Japanese were gone, and while the plants inside the glasshouse remained, the Gu worms that had lived symbiotically on them had vanished. It was unclear if they’d been eaten by their kin just now or if they had retreated along with them.

Now, only Lin Tian and his three companions were left in the greenhouse, as if nothing had happened at all.

"Let’s go. Seeing how arrogant that Gu Cultivator is, we’ll definitely have to spank him as a lesson when we catch him, to teach him how to be more humble," Lin Tian joked.

"Do you really enjoy spanking people?" the Heavenly Master Girl gave him an askance look, and said.

"Well, not usually, but when reason fails, it’s time to spank," Lin Tian said, touching his nose sheepishly. Truth be told, he had spanked quite a few, including the Xiao sisters and Zhang Lingyu—all gorgeous women.

Lin Tian took the lead towards the main entrance. Although the Gu Cultivator had withdrawn the Gu worms, the gate was still sealed. This must have been the reason why the Gu Cultivator felt so confident; the shrine was rigged with traps everywhere, which would enhance his fighting strength several fold.

"Miss Kikuchi, you originally belonged to the shrine, do you know how to open this metal gate?" Lin Tian turned his head to the nurse and asked.

Kikuchi Mika shook her head, saying somewhat embarrassingly, "I didn’t even know there was a metal gate here. Under normal circumstances, it’s just an ordinary iron door. The metal gate has never been activated."

"Don’t look at me. Regular talismans won’t do for melting this metal gate, and the good ones are hard to find and to draw. Forget about it," said the Heavenly Master Girl preemptively, seeing Lin Tian looking her way as if she knew what he was about to ask.

"Come on, you’re a Heavenly Master after all. Do you really need to be so stingy?" Lin Tian disdained such miserly behavior.

The Heavenly Master Girl was probably as stingy as they come. Unmoved by Lin Tian’s words, she said indifferently, "Each high-level talisman could be a lifesaver. I won’t waste them here, no matter what you say. Figure it out yourself."

"Lin Tian, what she says makes sense. We might encounter Onmyoji later, so we can’t waste talismans here," agreed Ning Luoxi, supporting the Heavenly Master Girl.

"Fine, you’re saying we need to force our way through. There’s only one man here, so it looks like this heavy lifting falls on me," Lin Tian said helplessly.

The three women blinked and nodded in unison, indicating that such heavy labor was indeed men’s work.
