The Legend Lives On

The Hundred-Harm Witch Doctor once again brandished his skull staff, unleashing the Plague Intent Elegy to weaken Si Ming's Jing Essence cultivation, while simultaneously commanding the Stiff Corpse King to launch a fierce attack.

"Could its name be Jiangchen?"

Si Ming jokingly said that he activated his Bodhi Golden Body internally to ward off evil and purify himself, and was completely unaffected by the plague. At the same time, he pointed his finger to the ground with one hand, and a powerful dragon aura shot out. The tiger-shaped dragon leaping and the Dragon Scale Sword merged together, and the golden glow was brilliant and dazzling. He immediately urged the Imperial Dragon Sword to move again.

"Clouds Sweep a Hundred Li, Desolate Dragon Subdued!"

The dazzling Sword Qi transformed into wisps of smoke that enveloped the space, simultaneously drawing in the Stiff Corpse King and the Hundred-Harm Witch Doctor, unleashing an endless and relentless slaughter. One Sword was as heavy as a mountain.

The Hundred-Harm Witch Doctor was cursing. How could someone not even test him before unleashing their ultimate attack? And judging by the power of that attack, it was clearly meant to grind him to dust and annihilate his soul. What kind of deep-seated hatred was this? It was clearly you who harmed my disciple, but why did it seem like I was the one who harmed yours?!

He dared not hold back at all, so he quickly bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood into the Stiff Corpse King, unleashing its power far beyond its limits. At the same time, he was taking drugs and circulating forbidden techniques, drawing upon the energy of the Youming.

"Seven Gengshen Vigils, Three Corpses Severed!"

A Gu worm, even larger than the previous Life-Substitution Yin Gu, appeared, its entire body covered in a hard shell, making it look very difficult to fight. It swallowed the Hundred-Harm Witch Doctor, who was already teetering on the brink of collapse due to severe depletion of his Essence Blood, whole.

After absorbing a large mouthful of Essence Blood and receiving the blessing of the Youming, the Stiff Corpse King immediately went berserk. His hair grew wildly all over his body, each hair as straight as a needle, making him almost like a giant hedgehog. Moreover, his eyes glowed with a scarlet light, and his violent aura could not be concealed. It soared into the sky, triggering murderous intent from heaven and earth.

If Si Ming weren't there, the Stiff Corpse King might turn on its master, because its power was enough to help it break free from control, and there were even faint signs of it undergoing a transformation.

Someone else might have chosen to back down, watch the master and servant fight it out, and gamble on whether the Hundred-Harm Witch Doctor could control the rampaging Stiff Corpse King. But Si Ming was too lazy to care about his opponent's methods and immediately unleashed thousands of cloud-like Sword Qi to bombard the enemy.

The Stiff Corpse King roared repeatedly, frantically swinging its arms to smash the Sword Qi, but at its speed it could only block 40% of the Sword Qi. Of the remaining 60%, 30% attacked the Hundred-Harm Witch Doctor, and the last 30% struck its body, making a sound like striking a bronze bell.

"Hmm, they're actually wearing magical armor?"

As Si Ming felt the feedback, he was surprised to find that the Stiff Corpse King was wearing a divine artifact-level armor. He couldn't help but admire the Hundred-Harm Witch Doctor's ingenuity. The Stiff Corpse King was known for its indestructible defense, yet the other party had taken extra precautions and hadn't even left any armor for himself.

Of course, this approach can't be called a waste of time. After all, zombies have many weaknesses, and this armor can block many attacks that target those weaknesses. For example, the Sword Qi that Si Ming is unleashing now is formed by condensing the Blazing Sun True Qi and contains the Evil-Slaying Sword Intent. If it could penetrate the Stiff Corpse King's body, it would definitely cause great damage. However, it is now blocked by the armor, and the threat has been greatly reduced.

Surprised, the Stiff Corpse King seemed to sense Si Ming's distraction and suddenly lunged to the side. He actually found Si Ming's true form amidst the endless clouds of sword Sword Qi, firmly grasped the Dragon Scale Sword with both hands, suppressed the sword move, and caused the Sword Qi to lose momentum and dissipate.

"Tch, this is my second battle after retreating from seclusion for cultivation. If I can't even easily defeat a mindless wretch like you, wouldn't I be a laughingstock!"

Si Ming immediately abandoned his sword, letting the other party take it away. Then, he slammed his fists into the Stiff Corpse King's shoulders like heavy hammers. His magnificent divine power was like a god wielding a hammer, instantly driving the other party into the deep strata of the earth, creating a large, dark hole in the ground. He then snatched the sword back, turned around, and used the Demon-Slaying Sword Technique again.

"With a sword drawn, stars race across ten thousand miles, slaying all!"

With Si Ming's current cultivation level and the recovery power of the Vacuum Zero-Energy Furnace, he can unleash two ultimate moves in a single breath. Although doing so would bring a huge backlash, his physique can withstand it. Thus, the Dragon Scale Sword suddenly gathered a huge pillar of Sword Qi and pressed down on the dark void.

One after another, Evil-Slaying Sword Qi shot out, like a meteor shower crashing down. The pit was filled with continuous booming and explosions, and the thick soil continued to crack. Countless residual Sword Qi shot out from the cracks, and in the blink of an eye, the earth was riddled with holes. Nearby palaces also collapsed due to the impact of the residual force.

"They're monsters! Why did we provoke such an enemy...?"

Having withstood the deadly attack with the help of the Yellow Springs Gu Worm, the Hundred-Harm Witch Doctor had once again escaped to a distance, looked at the ground ravaged by the Sword Qi and was speechless for a moment. He could only vaguely feel that the ground beneath his feet was still in the aftershocks.

A moment later, Si Ming leaped out of the huge pit, carrying the tattered Stiff Corpse King in his hand. Even with his double-walled defenses, he couldn't withstand the frenzied attack just now. It was less like Sword Qi energy cutting and more like missile bombardment. Moreover, each explosion released scorching pure yang energy, which was tantamount to a deadly poison for zombie creatures.

Upon seeing this, the Hundred-Harm Witch Doctor felt heartbroken. This Stiff Corpse King was created by him after stealing the corpse of the previous Barbarian King, strengthening its body with the Golden Silkworm Gu, and sacrificing a Barbarian Race god. The whole process took him ten years.

This was his trump card against Ba Shenhuang, using the Stiff Corpse King as a shield to withstand Ba Shenhuang's attacks, thus creating opportunities for others to attack. However, in just a few minutes, it was destroyed by someone else.

This heartache was even more intense than when he first heard the devastating news of his apprentice's death.

"Damn it! I swear I won't rest until I avenge this..."

Before he could finish his harsh words, the Hundred-Harm Witch Doctor noticed Si Ming glancing in his direction. He immediately used his Divine Arts to summon the Gu God, which transformed into a giant worm and burrowed underground to escape. His movements were as fluid as flowing water, and even Si Ming didn't have time to take action.

"They all ran away so fast. The guy who controlled the formation did the same. He didn't even give me a chance to make a second move. Have the members of the Remote Heaven Society been practicing their escape techniques intensively for the past two years?"

The War God and the Military God stood facing each other, and the siege turned into a one-on-one duel, as if they had returned to the duel in the imperial kitchen, only now the roles of offense and defense had been reversed.

"I miscalculated," Huang Yan said. "I expected you to ask for help, but I didn't expect you to seek help from the Mohist School, let alone that the reinforcements you brought would be so powerful."

Ba Shenhuang was arrogant and didn't have many close friends. Huang Yan had already been generous in estimating that Ba Shenhuang would bring in help, but he misjudged Si Ming's strength...

If the invited experts are just ordinary Spirit Transformation Grandmaster, Ruo Si's strength is sufficient to handle them. Even if it is a Spirit Transformation expert of the Startling Rainbow Beyond the Heavens level, he can buy enough time for Huang Yan and Remote Heaven Society to calmly set up an array to surround and kill Ba Shenhuang.

Unfortunately, one wrong move led to total defeat... But who could have imagined that a young man in his early twenties would possess such strength? This was illogical in itself. If Huang Yan were a sore loser, he would probably have shouted on the spot, "Heaven has forsaken me, it's not my fault in battle!" But he was not that kind of person, and could only reflect on his carelessness in intelligence gathering.

"Your eyes tell me you haven't given up yet," Ba Shenhuang suddenly said.

Why should I admit defeat? It's just that I can't kill you today. There will be other opportunities for us to fight in the future.

Huang Yan kept a close eye on everything and was aware of his teammates' situation. Although the Hundred-Harm Witch Doctor was at a disadvantage against Si Ming, the two sides of Nether Lord and the Black Armor General had the upper hand. Even if they could not win in a short time, it would not be difficult for them to escape together.

"Your collusion with the Remote Heaven Society is enough to ruin your reputation."

"Who can prove it was you or these few Mohist School brats? It's just mudslinging by the enemy, slander, rumors, and defamation. Who would believe that?"

"That makes sense, but I don't want to wait any longer. Let's settle everything today!"

Ba Shenhuang stomped his feet, generating waves of energy. The earth suddenly changed, and a huge stone lotus burst from the ground. Sixteen hundred-meter-long stone petals closed inward, sealing the two inside.

Within the stone lotus, pale flames burned, preventing the surroundings from plunging into darkness. Huang Yan looked up and surveyed the area, exclaiming in admiration, "Perfectly executed! It seems you were well-prepared for this battle."

"I don't understand formations, so I can only use this crude trick. That way, no one can disturb our duel." Ba Shenhuang raised his hand and challenged, "In this battle, either one of us will leave alive, or we will both perish together."

Huang Yan sighed and said, "Since you are so kind, what else can I say... Come, let's make our move!"

The white flames spreading across the ground suddenly surged upwards, leaping nine feet in a single bound. The pale light illuminated the world within the stone lotus, making it resemble a colorless, infernal hell, where only the fighting spirit continued to rise and burn.

Chapter 807 The Legend Remains

The space inside the stone lotus was the size of four basketball courts, which would be enough for ordinary people, but it was far too cramped for two Peak Spirit Transformation cultivators. As a result, their Movement Method were severely restricted, leaving them with almost no room to maneuver and only a head-on confrontation that left them no room to breathe.
