Sole Sword Supremacy-Chapter 543 - 547: Corpse Demon Ancestor (Part 1)

Luo Qingxuan’s sword light slashed down, once again cutting down the newly appeared Demon Corpse, and she flew forward.

The presence of the Great Nether Mirror also immediately invigorated Luo Bingyun.

Previously, when she led people into the Nether Sea, she had no confidence at all. After stepping into the Netherworld Abyss, witnessing the brutality of the battle, she could only grit her teeth and charge forward, but in reality, she had no confidence in this battle.

But now with the Great Nether Mirror in her hands, she truly saw hope in resisting the Saint Realm!

Of course, this also meant greater danger. After all, once the news of the Great Nether Mirror being in her hands got out, it would inevitably attract more Saint Realm powerhouses to fight over it.

However, as long as she could alleviate the pressure on Qu Lishang, it would be worthwhile.

If she was afraid of death, she wouldn’t have come to the Nether Sea in the first place.

For her, this battle is either about helping Qu Lishang defeat these Saint Realm powerhouses in the Nether Sea and achieving a great victory, or dying together in the Nether Sea—there is no other possibility.

But...

"Qingxuan, Wang Junze, both of you go back first!"

Catching up with Luo Qingxuan, Luo Bingyun couldn’t help but speak again.

"Elder Luo, if you fail, can Senior Sister Luo and I escape from the pursuit of these Saint Realm powerhouses?"

Shaking his head, Wang Junze replied softly, "We have long since lost any retreat. Only by fighting to the end can we carve out a path to survival!"

"Exactly! We will not lose, and Master Qu even more so won’t lose!"

With a determined look in her eyes, Luo Qingxuan echoed in agreement.

After a moment of silence, Luo Bingyun also stopped persuading and took the lead in flying into the depths of the Netherworld Abyss.

Without the determination to burn one’s bridges, this battle would truly be doomed to failure. Since that’s the case... let’s turn the world upside down with our fight!

When had the disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect ever feared danger?!

...

In the depths of the Netherworld Abyss!

Sword Qi crisscrossed, and the moon-white sword radiance illuminated the world. With each hand movement, a sword aura shot out, and even when surrounded by three Demon Kings, he remained completely unfazed.

In fact, if one looked closely, they would find that each of the three Demon Kings surrounding Qu Lishang was injured.

Not far away, the Night Spirit Demon Venerable and a black Demon Corpse were frantically attacking a golden Buddha!

However, suddenly, taking advantage of the Divine Monk Benyin’s attack on the Night Spirit Demon Venerable, the black Demon Corpse abruptly turned to flee.

"Corpse Demon Ancestor, what are you doing?!"

The sudden change immediately caused the Night Spirit Demon Venerable’s expression to turn furious, shouting angrily.

They had been fighting in the Netherworld Abyss for a whole day and night, but the strength displayed by both Qu Lishang and the Divine Monk Benyin was simply too formidable. The latter even used a Buddha Treasure to cooperate with Qu Lishang in forcefully killing a Demon King.

Even now, both sides were still deadlocked, and it seemed no one could defeat the other in the short term, so they could only continue fighting hard.

But who could have imagined that despite not showing any signs of defeat, the Corpse Demon Ancestor suddenly recalled the Lifebound Demon Corpse? What was he up to?!

"The Ancestor is tired of fighting and doesn’t want to waste time with you anymore, can’t I?"

With a cold snort, the Demon Corpse replied, but without looking back, it fled outward and was about to escape the battlefield within moments.

"Ah, ah, ah! Corpse Demon, if I don’t die today, I will definitely grind your bones to dust!"

With the departure of the Demon Corpse, the Night Spirit Demon Venerable was immediately under greater pressure, almost spitting blood in anger, but under the Divine Monk Benyin’s attacks, could only fiercely curse as a form of venting.

This Corpse Demon Ancestor had been slippery all along, participating in the battle but not bringing its true form, only using a Lifebound Demon Corpse. However, most of the Corpse Demon Sect’s strength lies in their Lifebound Demon Corpses, so others couldn’t say much and could only secretly mock them for being cowardly.

After all, even if the Lifebound Demon Corpse were killed, the actual body would not die, though a heavy price would be paid.

But precisely because of this, no one expected the Corpse Demon Ancestor to flee; it made no sense at all!

Those who could reach the Saint Realm had all experienced countless life-and-death battles, and with a changed mindset, they realized there must be something more to it. Others did not know the secret, but were being held up by Qu Lishang and the Divine Monk Benyin, unable to break free.

However, just as the Corpse Demon Ancestor’s Lifebound Demon Corpse was about to successfully escape, an immense and terrifying sword light emerged from Qu Lishang’s body. He suddenly transformed into a shadow, taking a hit from one Demon King as a price to tear through the void and appear directly in front of the Demon Corpse.

Sword Qi suddenly blossomed, resembling a Sword Lotus, trapping the Demon Corpse firmly within!

"Qu Lishang! Are you crazy?!"

Upon colliding with the Sword Lotus, the Corpse Demon Ancestor was immediately filled with rage, releasing a dark light from its body as it shouted incredulously.

Qu Lishang’s current situation was not good to begin with; letting him leave would either allow him to kill other Demon Kings or force others to abandon their attacks on Qu Lishang to pursue him, which should have been beneficial. Why then would Qu Lishang rather get injured than stop him from leaving?

"Trying to leave?!"

With a sneer, Qu Lishang spoke disdainfully, "If you dare to attack me, you must be ready to die. Was I giving you permission to leave?"

...

Rumble!

A sword brilliance split the sea surface, forcing an elder, whose figure was as withered as a dried corpse, out of the sea.

After slaying those Demon Corpses with the Great Nether Mirror, Luo Bingyun chased forward following the opponent’s aura, and within less than half an hour, she found the Corpse Demon Ancestor’s trail. Without any superfluous words, she raised her hand and swung her sword.

Of course, in reality, Luo Bingyun was able to easily find the Corpse Demon Ancestor largely because he didn’t hide his aura; in fact, it could be said he intentionally led Luo Bingyun and the others over.

Wang Junze and the others wanted to kill him, but upon realizing the Great Nether Mirror was in Luo Bingyun’s hands, how could the Corpse Demon Ancestor not also want to kill Luo Bingyun and seize the Great Nether Mirror?!

To this end, he disregarded the battle on Qu Lishang’s side, attempting to summon back his Lifebound Demon Corpse. Unfortunately, that lunatic Qu Lishang forcibly stopped him from leaving.

"Seeking death! This Ancestor hasn’t even looked for you yet, and you actually came delivering yourself to the door."

Demonic Qi erupted, and the Corpse Demon Ancestor’s eyes flashed with cold light. He stepped forward, shattering the Sword Aura that Luo Bingyun struck down, and turned to strike at Luo Bingyun.

Summoning back the Demon Corpse was just a precaution, but it didn’t mean that without the Lifebound Demon Corpse, he feared Luo Bingyun and her group.
