Nether Envoy

After Chen Mobai killed Yuan Hongyuan and the other three, he was about to collect their bodies when a strange chill suddenly rose from behind him, followed by an extremely terrifying sharp aura that seemed to pierce the back of his head like a blade.

There's a sixth one!?

Chen Mobai was slightly shocked. The sixth person to make a move was clearly a level above Yuan Hongyuan and the others. He should be at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and the timing of his move was also very good.

It was precisely at this moment that he relaxed his guard after killing all his opponents.

But he had clearly used his Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye to observe all four directions and only saw five Foundation Establishment level opponents! Where did they come from?

However, now was not the time to think about such things. Chen Mobai's Spiritual Sense quickly shifted, and the Crimson Cloud Mist Silk, which had been refined by Ming Yihua, transformed into a cyan-red aura that rose from beneath his feet and blocked his back.

However, this long-awaited opponent was extremely powerful. Although the cold, sharp blade was blocked by the blue and red qi for a breath, it was still easily torn apart and had already pierced Chen Mobai's Yuzhen acupoint at the back of his head.

Just as he was about to be blown off his head, a huge, semi-transparent finger bone appeared out of thin air, blocking the cold, black blade. With a gentle crushing motion, as if Mount Tai had crashed down, an indescribable, overwhelming force turned the flat man holding the black blade into a cloud of black mist.

"Hmm?"

The Myriad Laws Body was connected to Chen Mobai's mind. The unreal feeling, as if it were being crushed in the void without any force, made Chen Mobai turn around in great surprise.

He saw the opponent who had launched the sneak attack and finally understood why he hadn't noticed it before.

Because this wasn't the sixth one at all, but the first Foundation Establishment Cultivator who had been killed by his Yi Wood Divine Thunder.

However, the corpse that had been blown off its head by his Yi Wood Divine Thunder was still lying in the middle of the street, but the powerful spiritual energy that was originally contained in the corpse had all been released at this moment, turning into the black mist in front of him that only had a blurry human figure.

What are you?

Chen Mobai had never seen such a life form before, completely freed from the constraints of the physical body, with all its power seemingly integrated into the black mist before it, formless, shapeless, and unrestrained.

"I never expected that you, little guy, would be so incredibly strong."

After the Nether Envoy detached from his physical body, he used his spiritual power to vibrate the air and speak. At the same time, he took out a small black banner from the black mist and waved it gently at Yuan Hongyuan and the other three who had been killed by Chen Mobai.

With a series of mournful howls, the black array flags held by the four corpses flew up, turning into phantom images and merging into the small banner in the palm of the Nether Envoy.

"Why..."

Hong Xu's miserable voice rang out, and Chen Mobai saw that his soul had been pulled up by the black array flag and firmly bound to the flag, baring its fangs and claws but unable to break free.

"If you could kill him, he would still be of use, but since he's dead, let's make use of him and enhance the power of this Hundred Ghost Soul Refining Banner."

After the Nether Envoy's cold voice rang out, Tang Xiaomei's soul had already been extracted and refined into the array flag, but Tang Da's body, which had been cut in half at the waist by Chen Mobai's sword, underwent a change.

His upper and lower body began to merge together, and granulation tissue grew from the wound and quickly joined together. His whole body suddenly swelled up, his skin turned bluish-black, and two Ox Horn- like things grew from his head.

"Yellow Springs Wraith, Ox Head!" With the Hundred Ghost Soul Refining Banner waved in the hands of the Nether Envoy, Tang Da, who had been resurrected as Ox Head, crawled up on the street.

He had completely lost his mind at this point. With a casual wave of his hand, he tore apart the shop where he had crashed down. Then, with saliva dripping from his mouth, his swollen, bow-legged legs kicked out a hole in the ground before he shot towards Chen Mobai, who was in mid-air, like a cannonball.

[It seems to have been transformed into a monster devoid of pain sensation, and possesses extremely strong regenerative abilities. I wonder if cutting it into pieces with the Primordial Yang Sword Sha would restore it? Forget it, let's be safe!]

With a single glance from Chen Mobai's Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye, he could see through Tang Da's current general condition.

Since there was still a formidable enemy of unknown strength in front of him, he felt he couldn't waste too much time on this insensitive and tireless Ox Head.

With a spit, a cyan-colored Sword Pellet flew out.

It was as if a Fire Seed, carrying Flowing Light, pierced into the brow of the Ox Head.

Then a wisp of blue flame began to ignite on the Ox Head's head, and in an instant it spread along the blood and burned the entire body. The "Burn Blood" characteristic of the Azure Flame Sword Sha was activated by Chen Mobai.

Although the Ox Head felt no pain, heat, or burning, when it reached Chen Mobai, all its blood and moisture were burned away by the Azure Flame Sword Sha, turning into countless gray-white ashes that dissipated into the world.

"Azure Flame Sword Sha!?"

The Nether Envoy, witnessing this scene, spoke with a hint of shock.

Because the Primordial Yang Sword Sha was practiced using the sword techniques of the Immortal Sect, he had never seen it before, so he thought it was a terrifying killing Magic Artifact of Chen Mobai.

But the image of the Ox Head being reduced to ashes by a cinnabar-colored Sword Pellet immediately reminded him of those memories that should have died, having witnessed the same scene before.

"Alright, now you're really all alone."

After dealing with the Ox Head, Chen Mobai looked at the Nether Envoy opposite him, who had transformed into black mist. The Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror appeared above his head, and the Profound Mystic Yang Divine Light Shield was ready to be activated at any moment.

He couldn't quite figure out the guy in front of him, so he was prepared to go all out and deal with him as quickly as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications.

"Hehe, I never expected to encounter a genius like you on a casual assassination mission!"

After witnessing the Third Tier Magic Tool and the Azure Flame Sword Sha, the Nether Envoy did not back down. The black mist he transformed into, wrapped around the Hundred Ghost Soul Refining Banner like a long black dragon, suddenly circled around Chen Mobai before burrowing into Yuan Hongyuan's corpse.

Sizzle!

Chen Mobai frowned, and the Yi Wood Divine Thunder Technique erupted once more. The dazzling lightning at his fingertips had already condensed into a huge pillar of lightning in his palm, which slammed heavily onto Yuan Hongyuan's corpse.

However, the Hundred Ghost Soul Refining Banner emitted a cloud of dark mist, which actually withstood his powerful Thunder Method, which reached the Third Grade.

At this moment, the Nether Envoy had already possessed Yuan Hongyuan's corpse. The orange-red light at the wound inflicted by the Primordial Yang Sword Sha was still flashing, a testament to the powerful residual force of the sword demon.

But the Nether Envoy nonchalantly condensed black mist into a sharp blade, cutting off another section of the wound along with the sword's aura. Then, the two sections fused together without any hindrance to form a new parasite.

"Damn it... So... this is the main function of the Yellow Springs Sacred Fruit..."

At this moment, Yuan Hongyuan's soul manifested on the Hundred Ghost Soul Refining Banner. He saw the Nether Envoy easily take over his body, and finally realized what was happening, his face full of regret.

"Have you realized it yet? There's no such thing as a elixir in this world that can magically raise a person's cultivation level in a short period of time."

The Nether Envoy nonchalantly waved the Hundred Ghost Soul Refining Banner in his hand, and the phantom image of Yuan Hongyuan on the banner immediately dimmed.

With a whoosh, Chen Mobai had already unleashed the full power of the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, a Third Tier Magic Tool, to the maximum extent he could control. Pure white, blazing yang flames, like splashes of water, rained down upon the newly parasitized Nether Envoy.

As the Hundred Ghost Soul Refining Banner was waved, wisps of dark mist rose up. However, the power that could block the Yi Wood Divine Thunder seemed to be countered by the Pure Yang Fire. Gradually, it could not withstand the force and began to retreat inch by inch.

"Huh, your Magic Artifact is actually a Pure Yang magic treasure!"

The Nether Envoy spoke with some surprise, but there was no other way at this point. He could only unleash the full power of the Hundred Ghost Soul Refining Banner. One by one, the fierce ghosts refined within it began to manifest their forms amidst the surrounding dark mist, and in the blink of an eye, there were a hundred of them.

Then, under the control of the black banner in the hands of the Nether Envoy, these hundred vengeful ghosts formed a Hundred Ghost Formation in mid-air, following eerie steps.

A chilling aura formed within the Grand Array, constantly battling against the Pure Yang Fire, and gradually managed to stabilize the formation.

Chen Mobai glanced around and immediately understood the situation.

His Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror was restrained by the opponent's Hundred Ghost Soul Refining Banner. This was not because his Magic Artifact was inferior to his opponent's, but because the opponent's realm seemed to be much higher than his own, and the evolved Array Formation had greatly increased its power.

Without any hesitation, he once again pulled open the lid of the Yellow Gourd at his waist. The moment the orange-red light appeared, it was condensed into a thin line a thousand meters long, like Flowing Light streaking across the sky, once again cleaving Yuan Hongyuan's corpse, which was possessed by the Nether Envoy, in two.

But the latter, with a pale face, chuckled and waved away the Primordial Yang Sword Sha from the wound, and then merged back into one, returning to its original state.

Chen Mobai then opened his mouth and spat out a cyan-colored Sword Pellet.

Faced with the Azure Flame Sword Sha, the Nether Envoy dared not pretend any longer.

He picked up Yuan Hongyuan's Five Smoke Cloud Net Formation and activated it. Wisps of water mist and smoke covered the sky, and his body moved and changed position constantly with the help of the Array Formation.

Although the Azure Flame Sword Sha could evaporate a large amount of water mist and smoke each time it landed, the Nether Envoy was like an eel, always managing to dodge in advance.

Chen Mobai frowned slightly. He knew that even when facing Ji Dingjin, a body cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment, he had never felt this troublesome.

This Nether Envoy seems to be more than just Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He probably hasn't noticed that yet; it's about time.

Chen Mobai was plotting his plan to kill his opponent in one blow, while at the same time, the Nether Envoy was also estimating how long his parasitic body could hold out.

Although he had already refined his cultivation using the Yellow Springs Sacred Fruit, Yuan Hongyuan's cultivation level was still somewhat low, allowing him to only unleash the full power of Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, due to the severe depletion of the Pure Yang Fire in the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, the time he originally estimated to be sufficient for its use has now been greatly reduced.

Most importantly, time is not on his side. If the support from the Divine Wood Sect arrives, even if he truly has Immortal Body, he will probably be trapped and die.

[A quick victory is needed; this kid lacks combat experience.]

After making up his mind, the Nether Envoy unleashed the power of Yuan Hongyuan's Five Smoke Cloud Net Formation all at once, and the misty cold waves spread across the sky, creating a Vast Mist and ethereal phantom.

At the same time, the Nether Envoy's body rushed to Chen Mobai's front in the blink of an eye.

With a loud "bang," Chen Mobai's entire body flashed with streaks of fire, as if he had flashed backward a great distance in the air. This was the Flame Light Escape that he had never used since he mastered it! This escape technique had extremely strong short-range explosive power, almost Teleport, causing the Nether Envoy to miss its target.

At the same time, Chen Mobai opened his mouth and spat out a second Azure Flame Sword Sha, using himself as bait, finally allowing the scorching high-temperature sword aura to strike his opponent.

Amidst the burning flames of cinnabar and blue, Yuan Hongyuan's corpse, like the Ox Head, struggled and turned into ashes scattered across the sky.

[Something's not right, this is a trap!]

But at that moment, Chen Mobai noticed something was wrong. He turned around abruptly and saw a strange mist that had long since separated from Yuan Hongyuan's corpse, which was now a Nether Envoy of mist. It grinned and snaked along his neck, like Black Serpent, suddenly burrowing towards his brow.

"Hehe, although I don't know how you cultivated, your Thunder Method, sword aura, and Magic Artifact are all at the Third Grade, but your Spiritual Sense sense is definitely a weakness."

"Before I transformed into a ghost cultivator, I was Core Formation True Person."

"By attacking your Purple Mansion and shattering your soul, I can turn you into my host. This will at least make up for the loss of four long-laid pawns..."

"Huh... How come your Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness is so solid... Ah..."

The Nether Envoy, who was about to enter Chen Mobai Purple Mansion, found himself seemingly bumping into a soft yet resilient barrier. He vaguely saw a green and white petal that bounced him out.

Chen Mobai did not let this opportunity pass. Without any hesitation, the Yi Wood Divine Thunder Technique in his palm instantly became clear as flowing water, carrying the most terrifying life force of ghost cultivators, and heavily slammed onto the black mist that was ejected by the Great Camellia Flower.

With a scream from the Nether Envoy, his once incredibly resilient mist began to contract violently, and in the blink of an eye, half of it was dissolved by the Yi Wood Divine Thunder.

With a snap! As the Nether Envoy was severely injured, the Hundred Ghost Soul Refining Banner, which was already barely holding on against the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror, finally gave way, its pole broke, and the Hundred Ghost Formation completely collapsed.

Chen Mobai reached out and summoned the Pure Yang Fire, which was also a very effective counter to the extremely Yang and strong flames of ghost cultivators.

Under the divine thunder and yang fire, the Nether Envoy could no longer even scream, and was finally turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated into the air.

Fearing that his opponent might be resurrected again, Chen Mobai opened his mouth and spat out two more Azure Flame Sword Sha, turning the corpses of Hong Xu and Tang Xiaomei into ashes.

He then used Pure Yang Fire to burn the Nether Envoy parasite, which he had initially blown up with the Yi Wood Divine Thunder, to ashes.

Only then could I finally relax.
