CHAPTER 487: CHAPTER 486: FEMALE CORPSE_1

"Run!"

With the death of the Bull Demon Sect leader, the other Demon Way Experts from the same sect also retreated in disarray, scrambling toward the exit of the stone chamber.

Even Chu Tiange, who was severely wounded and on the brink of death, was carried away.

Ling Chen wouldn’t let them escape so easily. But just as he prepared to act, a strange green light suddenly erupted from Xia Yunxin beside him, enveloping her entire body.

Ling Chen paused. At this moment, inside the stone chamber, a jade-like green light was slowly unfolding. Within that light was a jade-like body, with long black locks cascading behind it. From a distance, it resembled a mermaid sleeping underwater.

He crouched down to take a better look at the beauty in front of him and noticed a Demonic Seal on Xia Yunxin’s forehead. The Demonic Seal was constantly flickering, emitting a beam of blood-red light that shot into the wall ahead. Carved into the wall was an ancient Talisman, and it was connected to the Demonic Seal on Xia Yunxin’s forehead.

This Demonic Seal is rather strange!

Ling Chen looked at Xia Yunxin, whose complexion was worsening. It didn’t seem like she was receiving an inheritance but rather continuously losing strength, her condition deteriorating.

Striding to the stone wall, Ling Chen delivered a punch, the force of which shattered the wall to pieces.

As the rubble flew, a hidden room behind the wall was revealed. Within it sat a pale-faced young woman, wearing a phoenix crown and a bright red robe. Her aura was eerie. But Ling Chen quickly realized that this young woman was actually a corpse.

A fluorescent light hovered over her body, and green lines of light shot from her third eye, eventually connecting to Xia Yunxin’s body.

Along these lines of light, constant flashes appeared, as if something was continuously being drawn from Xia Yunxin’s body and infused into the pale female corpse.

Ling Chen’s gaze was fixed on the pale female corpse in the bright red robe. Surprisingly, her originally black lips seemed to brim with a hint of red. Her face was also gaining a hint of rosiness; she was clearly absorbing the vitality from Xia Yunxin’s body!

This thing is trying to harm people!

Ling Chen’s pupils suddenly constricted to pinpricks. His hand formed into a blade as he slashed down angrily. The sharp force of his palm whistled out, ruthlessly striking the green lines of light.

BUZZ!

However, the force that could slice through mountains had no effect when it struck the lines of light. It was instead deflected.

Seeing this, Ling Chen’s expression changed. He flashed towards the lines of light, drew the Thunder Shadow Sword from his waist, and severed them.

CRACK!

This time, the green lines of light were directly severed. But at the same moment, Xia Yunxin abruptly spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly suffering from a violent backlash.

"Are you alright?"

Ling Chen helped Xia Yunxin up.

However, he noticed that the Demonic Seal didn’t disappear even after the connection was cut. Instead, it remained on Xia Yunxin’s forehead.

"What happened to me?"

Xia Yunxin touched her snowy-white forehead. She had been clearly receiving an inheritance just moments ago, then she felt as if she had fallen into a bizarre vortex before someone pulled her back.

"You were nearly sucked dry by that thing."

Ling Chen pointed at the pale corpse and then glanced at the corpse of the Bull Demon Sect member. "Chu Tiange was here too. If I hadn’t been here, even if you didn’t die at the hands of this female corpse, Chu Tiange would have killed you."

"So, you saved me?" Xia Yunxin looked at Ling Chen.

"Yes." Ling Chen nodded. "In that case, can we consider the incident from last time settled?" He was, of course, referring to what had happened in the Jade Liquid Spirit Pool.

"That’s not going to work. We need to settle each incident separately. Don’t even think about offsetting them."

Xia Yunxin smiled, but she didn’t agree.

"Why is the Demonic Seal still on your forehead? Who exactly is this Female demon?"

Ling Chen wasn’t the type to bicker with Xia Yunxin. He glanced at the female corpse and then asked solemnly.

"I’m not really sure either. All I know is that she’s called the Old Demon of Obsession."

Xia Yunxin shook her head.

"Old Demon of Obsession?"

Ling Chen was slightly taken aback and turned to the Human Emperor. "Senior, have you ever heard of this person?"

"Never heard of her." The Human Emperor shook his head, seemingly before Ling Chen had even finished speaking. "The era I lived in is long past. Countless powerhouses have emerged since then; I wouldn’t know any of them."

"That makes sense."

Ling Chen nodded in agreement before turning to Xia Yunxin. "So, does that mean you received this demon’s inheritance?"

"Yes. This Old Demon of Obsession has a very high Cultivation, much higher than anyone I’ve ever seen. She probably even reached the rumored Saint Realm," Xia Yunxin replied.

"That’s quite an opportunity."

Ling Chen smiled. The greater the opportunity Xia Yunxin received, the stronger she would become, and the greater her potential and prospects would be. This was a good thing for him as well.

WHOOSH!

At that moment, the pale female corpse suddenly opened her eyes. A green light flashed within them, and in the next instant, she sprang up from the ground, hair disheveled, teeth and claws bared, and lunged madly towards Ling Chen and Xia Yunxin.

Not good!

Ling Chen’s expression changed instantly; the Female demon, dead for who knew how long, had actually reanimated!

With no other choice, Ling Chen could only shield the injured Xia Yunxin behind him and swing his sword at the female corpse.

CLANG!

When the sword light struck the corpse, it was as if it had hit extremely hard metal. Dazzling sparks flew, but the strike didn’t harm the female corpse in the slightest.

Ling Chen didn’t even have time to be surprised before the female corpse lunged again, opening her mouth to bite his neck.

In desperation, Ling Chen could only use his hand to block. SQUELCH! The female corpse’s incredibly sharp, bone-white teeth instantly pierced Ling Chen’s flesh, penetrating straight through to the bone.

A wave of intense pain washed over him, and sweat broke out on Ling Chen’s forehead. He struck the female corpse with his left palm, but it had no effect; he couldn’t budge her at all. At this rate, I might lose half my hand!

"Boy, this woman has long been thoroughly dead. She’s animated entirely by a lingering grudge. Use your Sword Intent to obliterate the remnant grudge in her mind, and you can vanquish her in one fell swoop!"

Just when Ling Chen was at his wit’s end, the Human Emperor’s voice echoed in his mind.

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen immediately looked up. His peerless Sword Intent flared between his brows, condensing into an ethereal blade that shot fiercely towards the female corpse’s forehead!
