Supreme Sword God-Chapter 573 - 572: Eerie Female Corpse

Beside Ye Chen.

A large number of water bubbles emerged.

These bubbles were huge... because inside each bubble, there was... a corpse!

There were men and women, old and young.

Each corpse showed no visible wounds.

And they weren’t swollen or decayed from prolonged immersion in water, maintaining their appearance at the moment of death.

The corpses floating in the bubbles drifted in the Huáng Quán water without causing a ripple, silently and eerily gravitating towards Ye Chen.

These corpses grew in number, surrounding Ye Chen three layers deep.

Unaware of all this, Ye Chen remained immersed in the process of condensing the First-Turn Taiyan Fire Seal.

After two days of laboring, the First-Turn Taiyan Fire Seal had taken on a basic shape.

The seal resembled a nine-petaled flower!

Each petal vaguely bore the illusion of a mythical beast.

The petals were predominantly red, with the center of the flower a faint golden hue.

Around the fire seal, a phantom Phoenix Illusion danced and fluttered!

This fusion of the Red Flame Spirit Flame and nine kinds of beast fires formed the Taiyan Fire Seal, merging the powers of these flames into a cohesive whole, making the flame unleash its strongest force!

As for that Phoenix Illusion, it was the Nirvana power given by Little Phoenix Zizi.

Previously, the nirvana power suffused Ye Chen’s entire body, but the Mad Old Man gathered the nirvana power to nurture Ye Chen’s First-Turn Taiyan Fire, compensating for the defects caused by merging with beast fire, without integrating Little Phoenix’s nirvana power into the flame.

"The nirvana power given by Little Phoenix might allow me to be reborn from the ashes. In the past, I didn’t know where the nirvana power was abundant, but now that it has manifested, if I encounter a life-threatening situation in the future, could I preemptively activate this manifested nirvana power?

This way, I could ensure a hundred percent chance of being reborn once?"

Feeling thrilled at the thought, Ye Chen decided to pause refining the Taiyan Fire Seal to discuss this with Luo Qingyi and Master Legs, as it was a matter of gaining an extra life!

However.

Ye Chen discovered that his connection with the Sword Tomb seemed to be blocked by a force!

"When the Mad Old Man was around, he severed my connection with the Sword Tomb, but once his soul departed, I regained my link with the Sword Tomb. What’s happening now? Could it be that the Mad Old Man’s soul has already returned with his avatar?"

An old rascal indeed.

Came back, and comfortably let me carry...

Ye Chen pondered, opening his eyes.

But the moment he opened his eyes, his expression froze instantly!

Surrounding him... there were huge water bubbles, each containing a person... no, a corpse!

Ye Chen’s scalp tingled, and his body broke out in goosebumps layer after layer, his heart nearly stopping from fear!

After an extreme shock, the fear within Ye Chen erupted, resulting in the loudest scream he had ever given!

Even "heart-wrenching" or "like a pig being slaughtered" couldn’t accurately describe the extent of his scream.

Ye Chen shouted several times before he calmed down, realizing the corpses floating in the bubbles were gathered around him, yet didn’t come closer!

Even though all the corpses had their eyes closed, Ye Chen felt they were all watching him, making his skin crawl.

"Seems like the Mad Old Man’s body is working, keeping them from approaching! I can’t stay here any longer; I have to get out and use the Mad Old Man’s body to carve a path!"

Being watched by so many corpses, even if they didn’t dare come close, staying too long could leave trauma!

Ye Chen immediately grabbed the arm of the Mad Old Man’s body resting on his shoulder, preparing to unravel the chains, but then his expression froze again!

The chains wrapped around him... were gone!

The texture of the arm he grasped didn’t feel right!

Ye Chen turned his gaze to the spot beside him.

The Mad Old Man’s body and a pile of chains were all there...

So the question arises!

What in the world am I carrying?

Ye Chen looked down slowly, at the object he was holding...

It was a smooth, jade-like wrist.

Long fingers, indescribably beautiful.

However...

Bone-chillingly cold!

He hadn’t felt it before, but upon seeing this hand, Ye Chen immediately noticed the piercing cold.

Ye Chen instinctively tried to hurl the hand away.

But his palm seemed to be stuck to the smooth wrist!

Impossible to shake off!

Ye Chen wasn’t sure if it was an illusion... he thought he heard the wind...

When discussing arguing about the Moon God in the Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom with Miss Hei, she also enjoyed blowing wind in his ear, quite pleasant.

But this current breeze, chilly and unsettling!

Ye Chen painstakingly turned his head.

Expecting a horrific sight.

But what he saw was completely different from what he imagined!

Resting on his shoulder was a perfectly flawless face of a woman.

Skin like white jade, an oval face, refined features, curled eyelashes...

But despite being an exceptionally beautiful female corpse, she still gave Ye Chen the shivers.

He had Miss Hua, Miss Hei, and Miss Qing... not interested in female corpses!

"Umm... Ma’am, let’s talk peacefully, okay?"

Ye Chen’s voice trembled.

Yet, silence enveloped him.

Ye Chen said, "Ma’am, did you keep them from approaching me? Could you let them spread out a bit?"

After he finished speaking.

The corpses gathered around Ye Chen indeed began to disperse, though they didn’t vanish, just moved a bit further away.

At least, it felt less oppressive to Ye Chen!

Ye Chen’s heart relaxed slightly.

The female corpse seemed harmless to him, after all.

Considering she silently replaced the Mad Old Man’s body with herself without alarming him, if she intended to harm him, she would’ve done so already.

Moreover.

The Mad Old Man’s body was tossed aside; logically, he couldn’t withstand the Yellow Springs water here, evidently the female corpse’s power was at work!

"Ma’am, how about changing positions?"

To Ye Chen’s astonishment.

The female corpse’s arm, soft and boneless, wrapped around Ye Chen’s neck, her body spun to face him, her arms resting on his shoulders, meeting him face-to-face!

Tall!

Ye Chen looked down.

Larger than life!

"Ma’am, this position isn’t that great either, maybe you could lie down?" Ye Chen suggested.

The next instant, the female corpse’s body floated up, horizontal in front of Ye Chen.

Ye Chen: "..."

Seems like she refuses to lie on the ground, wants me to hold her horizontally...

Fine, that’s still lying down.

Ye Chen was utterly unwilling at heart, yet had no choice but to comply.

In just a few words, the female corpse had switched several positions; he feared she would become enraged...
