Killing the Ghost Woman

"I'm not reconciled to this..."

Elsewhere.

The Heavenly Demon commander, besieged without respite, had already run dry. After letting out one unwilling cry, he was cleaved into two and fell on the spot.

At that moment, the scene before Su Fang's eyes began to dissolve like smoke.

When he came back to his senses, he had returned to the underground palace, standing once more atop the gigantic chessboard.

Before him stood a kind-faced old man, stroking his beard as he studied him...

"Fated one, since you have passed the trial, the magical treasure I left behind will not be disgraced by following you."

"I hope you will uphold a righteous heart and persist upon the righteous path! Take it as your duty to protect all living beings beneath heaven, and use this treasure for proper purposes."

The old man looked at Su Fang kindly and spoke in a gentle voice.

Hearing this, Su Fang immediately bowed with utmost respect.

"Senior, rest assured. This junior will certainly use this magical treasure for the proper path and will not fail your last wishes."

Upon receiving Su Fang's answer, the old man nodded in satisfaction before gradually vanishing.

After the old man disappeared, Su Fang respectfully waited where he was for a while longer before slowly stepping forward and picking up the array disk that gave off a faint glow.

"Haha! I've struck it rich! I've struck it rich!"

Su Fang threw back his head and laughed wildly in excitement!

After examining the [Heavenly Evolution Array Disk] in his hand, Su Fang directly activated the system to inspect it...

[[Heavenly Evolution Array Disk]: Divine-grade magical treasure. Forged from the legendary supreme formation material, "Heavenly Evolution Divine Stone," it contains the essence of the [Sixty-Four Heavenly Evolution Formations].]

[The holder of this treasure may arrange any of the [Sixty-Four Heavenly Evolution Formations] with a turn of the hand!]

[It may also see through every formation in the world below divine grade!]

Seeing the system's description, Su Fang was instantly overjoyed!

He could arrange any of the [Sixty-Four Heavenly Evolution Formations]?

See through every formation below divine grade?

These two abilities were simply heaven-defying!

There was no need to even mention the [Sixty-Four Heavenly Evolution Formations]. Every single formation possessed earth-shaking, unfathomable power that could astonish gods and ghosts!

If he could arrange them at will, then Su Fang could truly be called "invincible" within the Gods and Devils Cemetery!

Whether it was the Mad Old Man or Brother Meng's group, none of them would amount to anything before the [Sixty-Four Heavenly Evolution Formations].

With the [Sixty-Four Heavenly Evolution Formations] as his trump card, Su Fang finally had the foundation to settle down and survive in the Gods and Devils Cemetery. He would no longer need to fear this and that or tread on eggshells.

Thinking of this, Su Fang laughed without restraint.

At the same time, the Heavenly Evolution Array Disk's second ability was equally powerful!

Being able to see through all formations below divine grade meant that the vast majority of first- through ninth-grade formations would be rendered directly ineffective against him.

Though merely seeing through them did not necessarily mean he could break them with absolute certainty, it was still immensely formidable!

After all, once the workings of a formation had been seen through, breaking it was merely a matter of time and capability.

Moreover, there were countless tombs in the Gods and Devils Cemetery where Su Fang now stood, protected by tomb-guarding formations and never plundered by anyone.

For instance, the elders' tombs of the Violet Star Palace had never been touched. There were surely many fine things inside.

When the time came, Su Fang could rely on the Heavenly Evolution Array Disk's formation-breaking ability to loot them thoroughly and avenge the destruction of his cultivation.

With these thoughts in mind, Su Fang excitedly put away the Heavenly Evolution Array Disk for the moment, intending to deal with it after leaving the underground palace.

However, just as Su Fang was about to leave the underground palace, a figure suddenly blocked his path.

"Who are you? How did you come out of the underground palace?"

Jiang Chen, who had just been released from the [Four Symbols Illusion Formation], saw Su Fang emerging from the underground palace with a satisfied expression. He immediately grew anxious and shouted his questions.

Only after seeing Jiang Chen did Su Fang remember that there had been another person in the underground palace.

But now that he had obtained the Heavenly Evolution Array Disk, he naturally had no fear of Jiang Chen's challenge.

He immediately said disdainfully, "Where I came from—do I need to explain that to you?"

With that, Su Fang prepared to leave.

Naturally, Jiang Chen would not agree.

He immediately pressed the matter relentlessly. "Did you take the treasure from the underground palace? If you don't want to die, hand it over at once!"

"Oh? Is that so? With just you, you want to kill me?" Su Fang said indifferently.

Although Jiang Chen was stronger than him, with the Heavenly Evolution Array Disk in hand, dealing with a mere Martial Sect would be as easy as turning over his hand.

However, Su Fang did not intend to use the Heavenly Evolution Array Disk for now. Instead, he planned to fight Jiang Chen directly and test his own strength.

With that thought, Su Fang drew the Soul-Slaying Sword from his waist and took the lead in attacking Jiang Chen.

Seeing Su Fang actually dare to charge at him, Jiang Chen was furious and roared repeatedly:

"Good! Good! Good!"

"You are nothing but a mere Martial Artist, yet you dare act so arrogantly. Watch me cut off your head..."

With that, Jiang Chen also drew his sword and charged forward.

Bang!

The two swords collided!

Su Fang was sent several steps back by the powerful true qi, but he was otherwise unharmed.

Jiang Chen was not forced back, but his soul shuddered violently, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Naturally, this was because Su Fang had used the Soul-Severing Swordsmanship, which could directly use Sword Qi to injure a person's soul.

"Damn it! I'll kill you!"

Having suffered a tremendous hidden loss, Jiang Chen's face twisted viciously as he shouted and charged forward once more...

"Sever!"

Su Fang struck out with another slash.

It hit Jiang Chen's soul directly, leaving it increasingly weakened and his mind increasingly disordered...

"Kill! Kill! Kill..."

After suffering consecutive heavy blows to his soul, Jiang Chen's mind had become somewhat chaotic.

Though he held the advantage in cultivation, he fought with no method at all, merely hacking about wildly.

Seeing this, Su Fang's heart settled.

At the same time, he witnessed the might of the Soul-Severing Swordsmanship. It could actually allow him to injure an opponent two levels above him. It truly was a sword art with limitless potential.

The battle continued fiercely...

With his soul constantly injured, Jiang Chen had completely fallen into madness.

Seeing this, Su Fang could not be bothered to create further complications and directly intended to deliver the killing blow.

However, at that moment, a gust of sinister wind suddenly swept in, attacking directly toward the back of Su Fang's head...

"Don't you dare harm my Brother Jiang!"

"Go die!"

It was the ghost woman, attempting to ambush Su Fang.

"Hmph!"

"I discovered you long ago. I was only waiting for you to walk into my net."

Su Fang said calmly.

Having cultivated the Soul Art, how could he possibly have failed to notice the ghost woman's arrival?

The reason he had not exposed her beforehand was precisely so he could wait until she drew close, then inflict grave injuries upon her.

He let out a low shout.

"Creation Flame!"

A Sword Qi wrapped in flames then slashed straight toward the ghost woman's brow!

Bang!

A muffled blast rang out.

The ghost woman's soul body was directly shattered by the strike.

"Ahhh!"

The female ghost shrieked in agony!

She then barely gathered her soul body together and began fleeing for her life in a frenzy...

"You still want to run?"

Seeing that the ghost woman wanted to escape, Su Fang naturally would not allow it.
