Chapter 747 - 266: Spirit Manifestation
Does Heaven not favor Body Cultivators?
Is this the reason why I didn’t receive the Immortal Golden Nature as a reward from Heaven after breaking through to the Fifth Realm?
Is there really no way to deal with this strange fellow in front of me?
Gripping the spear tightly in his hand, thoughts raced through Xu Zhan’s mind, and as he glimpsed Shen Wen’an fighting two other Yin Generals in the distance, a sudden insight flashed through his mind.
Since the power of a Body Cultivator can’t deal with this guy, then let’s try this move!
With a slight movement of his mind, an extremely pure Yin Evil Power was immediately released from his body.
The next moment, this Yin Evil Power rapidly coalesced behind him into a terrifying creature with red eyes and sharp fangs!
This creature was the Evil Demon he had cultivated using the "Nine Fiends Gathering Body Technique".
In the battle at Zhili, the power of the Evil Demon had already revealed its prominence.
This time, he wanted to see if he could use the Evil Demon to deal with the Yin Generals of the Underworld in front of him.
Seeing the Evil Demon gradually taking shape behind Xu Zhan, the face of the white-clad Yin General opposite him suddenly changed dramatically!
"Yin Spirit!?"
"You are a descendant of that traitor from back then!?"
Traitor?
Xu Zhan felt puzzled and then immediately realized that the traitor he mentioned must be a certain existence from the ancient city at the bottom of the Laishui River.
Because the "Nine Fiends Gathering Body Technique" was something he obtained from that ancient city.
And the Evil Demon was cultivated through the "Nine Fiends Gathering Body Technique".
In this light, it seems that the mysterious powerhouse deliberately created this Cultivation Technique to counter the Underworld.
This explains why the ancient city at the bottom of the Laishui River has powers very similar to the Underworld.
"So you’re afraid of this..."
Suppressing his thoughts, Xu Zhan suddenly grinned and charged forward.
Having found a way to restrain the opponent, he certainly wanted to repay the humiliation he had just endured.
On the other side.
Shen Wen’an was fighting two Yin Generals alone.
He was initially worried that Xu Zhan couldn’t handle these strange fellows, always ready to lend a hand.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed Xu Zhan summoning the Evil Demon, suppressing the white-clad Yin General, and felt relieved, focusing all his attention on dealing with the two Yin Generals in front of him.
He also had many means specifically for dealing with people from the Underworld.
Sword Intent was one of them.
Another means more effective against the Underworld was the Sword Bone Magical Sword.
This item was called a "Soul Artifact" by the Underworld.
Last time, when dealing with a Yin General from the Underworld, he relied on the Sword Bone Magical Sword to inflict heavy damage.
Now that Xu Zhan didn’t need his care, Shen Wen’an was no longer concerned and directly summoned the Sword Bone Magical Sword.
"It really is a Soul Artifact!"
On the opposite side, the mustached middle-aged man had a suddenly serious expression upon seeing the Sword Bone Magical Sword.
Last time, after the Yin General who came to carry out a task returned in a sorry state, claiming to have encountered a Cultivator with a Soul Artifact, many other Yin Generals were skeptical, thinking it was just an excuse for the failure.
Seeing Shen Wen’an summoning the Sword Bone Magical Sword this time, he understood that last time the Yin General’s defeat wasn’t unwarranted.
"Brother Song, how can this ant possess a Soul Artifact?"
The Zhao-named Yin General beside the mustached middle-aged man had a hint of fear in his eyes as he asked in shock.
"No need to worry too much, Soul Artifacts have different levels of strength."
"If we handle this carefully together, we shouldn’t have a problem."
While saying this, the mustached middle-aged man glanced at the white-clad Yin General being completely suppressed by Xu Zhan.
Compared to him, the two of them were relatively lucky.
Though he felt fortunate, he was also puzzled.
What kind of force are these two Cultivators associated with?
Both the "Yin Spirit" and the "Soul Artifact" are rare means that counter the Underworld, not seen once in a century, yet both appear at the same time now.
"Brother Li, this task is tricky."
"Make sure to seize the Golden Nature bestowed by Heaven."
"I’m afraid we can’t handle this task on our own."
After evaluating the situation, the mustached middle-aged man knew the four of them had been too careless this time.
If the two Cultivators and the Body Cultivator didn’t have the "Soul Artifact" and "Yin Spirit", the strength of the four Yin Generals would definitely be enough to easily kill them and obtain three doses of Immortal Golden Nature.
They could also complete a bounty task along the way.
But now, it was uncertain if they could even complete the most basic task.
"Don’t worry, Brother Song, I have my eyes on them."
The other Yin General from the Underworld, watching the battle and ready to seize Shen Chongming’s Golden Nature at any moment, answered in a deep voice.
He was also surprised by Shen Wen’an and Xu Zhan’s techniques, which just happened to counter the Underworld.
Understanding that once they returned, to avoid punishment, this fundamental task would have to rely on himself.
After summoning the Sword Bone Magical Sword, Shen Wen’an no longer held back, using the Sword Bone Magical Sword along with two kinds of Sword Intent to launch a fierce attack against the two Yin Generals.
He had already made up his mind.
This time, he must find a way to obtain enough power from the four Yin Generals to completely perfect the Rune Mark on his Lifebound Flying Sword.
Otherwise, if the Underworld people descend again next time, they might pay special attention to the Shen Family.
At that time, the Shen Family would have to focus on how to protect themselves rather than thinking of gaining benefits from them.
Facing Shen Wen’an’s attack, the two Yin Generals couldn’t maintain their disguise anymore and directly revealed their true forms.
Two grotesque monsters, nearly ten zhang tall, with flesh torn and bloody, as if skinned alive, roared and howled in the void.
With the power surging within the two monsters, the surrounding void was instantly filled with dark clouds again!
