"What?!"
The Corpse Demon King trembled, the thick blood light enveloping its body suddenly dimmed without warning, as if it had been drained dry in an instant.
It fell heavily from the Void, crashing onto the ground with a dull thud.
"No... impossible!"
The Corpse Demon King was still clinging to life, reaching back to touch its rear. Its palm found a warm crack and slipped inside...
It unexpectedly touched a pulsating organ!
"You..."
It raised its head in disbelief, staring at the sword glinting with cold light.
Its pupils gradually became murky, the brilliance fading away.
It understood!
The reason Lin Qiubai chose to act personally was to disrupt its judgment and numb its perception.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the Corpse Demon King not to sense the fluctuations of a single sword.
As a second incarnation of a Reincarnation Realm Expert, the Corpse Demon King had keen perception. It had initially thought it could withstand Shang Yun's punch and then escape.
Withstanding one punch, it believed it could endure any subsequent attacks and at most suffer serious injuries.
But it wouldn't be fatal.
Although it would be quite embarrassing.
After all, it meant survival.
The Corpse Demon King had the same plan.
As long as the green mountains remained, one need not worry about firewood.
However, at this critical moment, Lin Qiubai unexpectedly collided with the Corpse Demon King.
The two were close enough to touch.
As long as the Corpse Demon King raised a hand, it could kill Lin Qiubai.
With the Corpse Demon King's deep-seated hatred for Lin Qiubai, it was tempted.
Even if the Corpse Demon King managed to escape, Lin Qiubai's bizarre methods would leave it restless.
Thus, such a rare opportunity lay before it.
The Corpse Demon King resolutely changed its previous plan. It gathered its energy, raised its hand, and concentrated immense Vital Energy...
Killing Lin Qiubai would turn the tide.
Moreover, Lin Qiubai's appearance had directly pushed its body out of Shang Yun's attack range.
At that moment, the Corpse Demon King thought it had escaped danger.
The taut string of tension quietly loosened, and it felt a hint of dark joy. It was just one step away from slaying Lin Qiubai and turning the tide!
This led to being thrust onto the blade by Lin Qiubai.
The sharp sword pierced through its back, splitting the Corpse Demon King open.
...
"How could I lose to an ant from the Creation Realm?"
The Corpse Demon King felt unwilling to accept its fate.
It was entirely different from other beings that had self-inflicted wounds; when it emerged from the Abyss of the Dead, its other body had slowly withered away in the Sealing Array.
Thus, its life was extremely precious.
But at this moment, there was no chance of survival.
"If I hadn't made some preparations, I really wouldn't have been able to kill you."
Lin Qiubai felt lingering fear as he covered his shoulder, where blood gushed out uncontrollably.
The longsword was indeed terrifyingly sharp; while it opened up the Corpse Demon King, Lin Qiubai was not spared either.
His shoulder bore a visible wound down to the bone, with blood pouring out recklessly.
The battle was incredibly fierce.
A thought of teleportation consumed Lin Qiubai's Primordial Spirit energy.
The Heavenly Demon bowed, damaging Lin Qiubai's physical Shell.
After the fight, although Lin Qiubai had not engaged in close combat with the Corpse Demon King, the strain he felt was indeed immense.
Especially the Heavenly Demon's initial attack and the final disembowelment nearly pushed Lin Qiubai to the brink of collapse.
"Please don't move."
Compared to Lin Qiubai, Shang Yun had it much easier.
She retrieved a blood-soaked Longsword from the Void and severed the head of the Corpse Demon King.
Only then did she rush to Lin Qiubai's side.
Her delicate hand rested on Lin Qiubai's wound, and warm vitality continuously flowed out.
It nourished Lin Qiubai's injuries.
"That's enough, no need for more. Just return to the Sect and take some Elixir."
Lin Qiubai grasped Shang Yun's arm, signaling her not to exhaust her vitality further.
"I'm sorry, I was too weak and caused you to suffer such heavy injuries."
Shang Yun looked guilty, her delicate face wrinkled in a way that made others feel pity for her.
"I won't let you struggle to fight alongside me like this anymore..."
Shang Yun helped Lin Qiubai up.
Lin Qiubai was still in the Creation Realm.
If it weren't for Lin Qiubai's careful planning, pulling out one card after another to share most of the pressure with her, she would have been defeated long ago!
It would have been a swift defeat.
This experience hit Shang Yun hard.
"You really need to stand on your own in a short time. Because the Continental Lord is already dead."
Upon hearing this, Shang Yun was taken aback, complex emotions slowly surfacing.
The Continental Lord was the ruler of the entire Xianyuan Continent.
It was precisely because of the existence of the Continental Lord that the Xianyuan Continent could remain peaceful.
Now, all the rules of the Xian Sheng Dynasty, which divided urban and non-urban areas, originated from the Continental Lord.
The rules of other countries in the Xianyuan Continent were not much different from those of the Xian Sheng Dynasty.
Geniuses, under the protection of the national system, have the opportunity to rise. And the nation, in turn, becomes stronger because of these rising geniuses.
Take the Xian Sheng Dynasty as an example.
In the past two thousand years, although there have been no strong practitioners at the Life Profound Realm, the number of Nirvana Realm Experts has doubled.
The national power has greatly increased!
This is the vision and ambition of the Continental Lord.
If the Continental Lord were to die, the Xianyuan Continent would surely fall into chaos.
The rules that were once established would disintegrate and transform amidst the turmoil...
"Is it true that the Continental Lord is dead?"
Shang Yun asked himself, pausing for a moment as the answer surfaced in his mind.
He is indeed dead.
Otherwise, even if the Supreme King and Successive Monarchs had ten times their courage, they would not dare to collude with Evil Cultivators.
"But the Continental Lord is a benevolent ruler who has never made a mistake, and possesses terrifying strength. Why would such a beloved strong figure suddenly die?"
After hearing Shang Yun's words, Lin Qiubai pondered for a moment before sighing.
"In the struggle for power, the greatest reason for the sacrifice of the Continental Lord is actually that he did nothing wrong."
The position and rights of the Continental Lord are destined to be anything but peaceful.
Standing in the position of a Continental Lord, those who oppose him are certainly other Continental Lords.
There are too many petty and despicable matters; how could the Continental Lord expect to remain untainted?
Therefore, having no mistakes is the greatest mistake of all.
Hearing Lin Qiubai's extremely simple words, Shang Yun fell silent.
"We need to leave first; the Xianyuan Continent is about to descend into chaos. I must protect you and safeguard the Xian Sheng Dynasty."
Shang Yun carried the blood-soaked Lin Qiubai on his shoulder.
He took determined steps forward.
"Wait, the Corpse Demon King's Storage Ring."
Lin Qiubai said weakly.
Upon hearing this, Shang Yun took off the Corpse Demon King's Storage Ring.
He placed it into Lin Qiubai's hand.
Lin Qiubai, unable to faint anyway, gathered his strength to assess the spoils from this brutal battle.
The Storage Ring was quite large, about the size of a small room, and in one corner were piles of Elixirs.
But they were all Evil Blood Poison Pills and Hemolytic Pills, which could only be used by Evil Cultivators.
Even the Healing Elixirs were related to blood corpses.
Lin Qiubai put away all these Elixirs.
Perhaps they would be useful in the future.
There were quite a few Refining Materials, and many of them were above King-Level.
The Martial Arts and Martial Arts Techniques were the secret Martial Arts of the Corpse Demon King, all based on the Corpse Demon Great Skill.
This should have been an inheritance from a once-great Evil Cultivation Sect.
It had fallen into the hands of the Corpse Demon King.
Lin Qiubai had no intention of practicing them.
However, after finishing the inventory, Lin Qiubai took out an ancient Monster Bestiary.
"What is this?"
Shang Yun turned her face, sensing an unusual aura that made her heart race a little faster.
