Chapter 935: Dark Corpse Evil Eye Master

On the contrary, a hint of anticipation also appeared in Jiang Fan's eyes.

"Soulstab!"

He was eager to see how a Nascent Soul expert would react when subjected to the sudden, close-range activation of his own peak Nascent Soul spiritual power.

*Pfft!*

In an instant, the Soulstab pierced into Reverend Thousand Corpse's head.

"Argh!"

Reverend Thousand Corpse immediately let out a heart-rending scream. It was as if a mortal were undergoing torture by hot iron. Though not fatal, it was agonizing! Consequently, the Nascent Soul power he had directed at Jiang Fan dissipated.

Jiang Fan would not let this opportunity slip by! Gripping the purple sword in his palm, he brought it down fiercely towards Reverend Thousand Corpse's neck.

Seeing this, the Sky Demon Emperor's face turned pale with alarm, and he hurriedly shouted, "Watch out!"

Reverend Thousand Corpse was still in agony, but years of combat experience ensured his immediate, rapid counterattack. He slapped his palm against the last pouch on his waist. With a *thump*, a large amount of yin energy surged out, enveloping a figure that barely managed to block the sword. The purple sword cut into the figure's body but then became lodged. For the purple sword to struggle to cut through, it could only be the corpse of a Nascent Soul realm expert.

As the yin energy dispersed, a burly middle-aged man appeared, missing an eye and an arm, with dull eyes and a wooden expression.

Jiang Fan's heart pounded, and he gasped, "Reverend Evil Eye?"

No, that's not right! The current Reverend Evil Eye possessed no life force whatsoever; instead, his body was brimming with dense yin energy. Had he been refined into a yin corpse? That day, he had been wounded by Jiang Fan's spiritual artifact, the sleeve crossbow, and had fled, only to be targeted and killed by Reverend Thousand Corpse?

This thought flashed through his mind in an instant. Jiang Fan immediately withdrew his sword and retreated swiftly. He barely managed to get clear. Reverend Evil Eye's fists struck the spot where Jiang Fan had just been, causing the very space to subtly indent. The powerful airflow that erupted from the impact sent Jiang Fan stumbling backward, leaving a coppery taste in his mouth.

His heart sank. Reverend Thousand Corpse had arrived, and now there was also a Nascent Soul realm yin corpse! No matter how formidable he was, or how well he could counter them, he couldn't possibly face two Nascent Soul realm experts simultaneously while only in the Golden Core realm. The most troubling aspect was that Reverend Thousand Corpse had now recovered. Gazing at the horrific gash on Reverend Evil Eye's body, a chill ran down his neck, and a profound sense of dread washed over him. He had almost met his end at this youth's hands! Ferocity flickered in his eyes, gleaming with absolute killing intent.

"Kill him!"

Reverend Thousand Corpse gave the command, while simultaneously condensing yin energy, biding his time to deliver a fatal blow to Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan's expression changed. If he retreated, Sea Charm's tribulation would abruptly cease. If he didn't, he might well meet his end here! As he pondered, the two opponents attacked from different directions.

Reverend Thousand Corpse was the first to charge, shouting, "I refuse to believe you can keep using soul secret arts!" In his palm, a black dragon made of yin energy, even more turbulent than before, condensed and bore down fiercely on Jiang Fan.

*Boom! Crack!*

The lotus exploded, instantly shattering the black dragon, and the residual karmic flames roared towards Reverend Thousand Corpse! However, just as Jiang Fan had unleashed his move and had no time to conjure a second, a glint flashed in Reverend Thousand Corpse's eyes, and he roared, "Kill!" Under his control, Reverend Evil Eye seized the opening and relentlessly hammered at Jiang Fan's head.

Jiang Fan, however, was prepared. He lowered his head, bit down on the Heaven-Monitoring Precious Mirror he held, and successfully activated it. It could only block seventy percent of the attack, meaning his head would still sustain some injury! His heart sank further. From this point on, he would certainly be at a disadvantage!

But just then! A spatial fluctuation appeared without warning behind Reverend Evil Eye. A jade ruler tapped him on the head. A palm-sized array then materialized, unleashing a beam of light that enveloped Reverend Evil Eye. Reverend Evil Eye, who was in the midst of his attack, found his connection to Reverend Thousand Corpse severed by the array. His powerful punch quickly lost its force. When it finally struck the Heaven-Monitoring Precious Mirror, its power was completely absorbed. Jiang Fan merely felt a slight impact from the Heaven-Monitoring Precious Mirror, causing only a fleeting pain, but he was unharmed.

He looked up. He saw a jade-carved phoenix chair suspended in mid-air. Seated upon it was a young woman in a black dress, her slender jade legs crossed, resting her pale cheek in her hand. It was none other than Ye Banxia.

Ye Banxia cast a fleeting glance at Jiang Fan and said, "No need to thank me." She then flicked the ruler, sending Reverend Evil Eye flying, and with a gesture, conjured several arrays to block his movements.

Jiang Fan was momentarily stunned. No wonder the Heaven's Mystery Pavilion Master brought her along; this woman truly possessed formidable skills! She could even subdue Reverend Evil Eye, a Nascent Soul realm yin corpse!

Without Reverend Evil Eye interfering, Jiang Fan immediately unleashed his full power. With the Heaven-Monitoring Precious Mirror around his neck, and Asura Karmic Flames blazing in his palm, he struck fiercely at Reverend Thousand Corpse.

*Pfft!*

Reverend Thousand Corpse roared in fury, "Return my yin corpse!" Risking injury from the Asura Karmic Flames, he condensed Nascent Soul power in his palm and struck Jiang Fan with immense force. The Heaven-Monitoring Precious Mirror immediately absorbed seventy percent of the power, then instantly reflected it back, striking Reverend Thousand Corpse's abdomen. Simultaneously, Jiang Fan received the remaining thirty percent of the attack's force, feeling an agonizing, piercing pain as if his insides were exploding. Fortunately, he had cultivated the 'One Elephant' technique, rendering his physique invincible to anything below the Nascent Soul realm. Otherwise, he would surely have perished!

Enduring the intense pain, he slammed the Asura Karmic Flames onto Reverend Thousand Corpse's face, roaring, "Die!" Both his abdomen and head suffered severe damage simultaneously. His head, in particular, felt as if the terrifying flames were roasting his brain, causing his consciousness to blur.

"You junior!" Reverend Thousand Corpse bellowed incessantly. He realized he was completely countered by this youngster! He couldn't continue fighting; the disadvantage was too great! Taking advantage of being repelled, he decisively turned and darted towards Concubine Yunxia, exclaiming angrily, "This is all your fault! Because of you, I've incurred such heavy losses! I must demand greater compensation from that senior! Come with me!"

He ignored his agreement with the Demon Emperor, intent only on grabbing Concubine Yunxia and fleeing. But the next moment, a talisman arrow locked onto him and struck fiercely.

Reverend Thousand Corpse's face changed drastically again. "You still have talisman arrows?" He was both enraged and frustrated. "Sky Demon Emperor, what exactly is going on with this human junior?" Having no time to concern himself with Concubine Yunxia, he hastily channeled his power to resist the might of the talisman arrow.

The Sky Demon Emperor's expression darkened. "This youth's soul has reached the Nascent Soul level, and his physique and spiritual power are invincible to anything below the Nascent Soul realm. He's a heterodox Nascent Soul! And he happens to be your perfect counter!" Gritting his teeth, he spat out a mouthful of vital blood, and a phantom of a wicked dragon reappeared behind him, lunging fiercely at the Heaven's Mystery Pavilion Master.

The Heaven's Mystery Pavilion Master's expression changed, and he immediately unleashed various lightning-based divine abilities. Seizing this opportunity, the Sky Demon Emperor retreated, his face a mask of icy resolve, and charged at Jiang Fan. "You deal with the Heaven's Mystery Pavilion Master; I'll handle this youngster!"

The Heaven's Mystery Pavilion Master's expression changed. Jiang Fan's various divine abilities countered Reverend Thousand Corpse, but they held no sway over the Demon Emperor! On the contrary, the Demon Emperor's formidable physique could inflict fatal damage upon Jiang Fan!

"Your opponent is me!" the Heaven's Mystery Pavilion Master exclaimed, anxiously giving chase. Reverend Thousand Corpse, however, immediately intercepted him, coldly snorting, "Let me be your opponent!" He unsealed the remaining two corpse bags in one go, unleashing a full two hundred yin corpses that thoroughly entangled the Heaven's Mystery Pavilion Master.

The Demon Emperor no longer had any concerns. He stared chillingly at Jiang Fan. "It's time for us to settle the score!"
