Sole Sword Supremacy-Chapter 531 - 535: The Growth of Greed

Freeze!

The eerie light of the Great Nether Mirror descended, landing on the Sect Leader of the Corpse Demon Sect, as if it froze his body in an instant, his hand, which was already within reach, was forcibly stopped in place!

That brilliant ghostly light instantly drew everyone’s attention.

Even if one didn’t know what the Great Nether Mirror was, at this moment, they could instinctively sense its mystery and terror.

Of course, others were not clear about the truth within, but the moment the Great Nether Mirror was deployed, both Yang Hong and the Maiden of the Sea, Huang Siyu, couldn’t help but show a hint of nervousness in their eyes.

They knew how terrifying the Great Nether Mirror was, but they also understood how dangerous it was for Wang Junze to attempt to wield it in his current state.

"Buzz!"

Almost at the instant Wang Junze activated the Great Nether Mirror, Peng Ru’s eyes suddenly revealed a cold killing intent, and the overwhelming Sword Qi erupted without the slightest reserve, moving the power of the Li Shang Sword fiercely towards the Sect Leader of the Corpse Demon Sect!

The Great Nether Mirror, although powerful, with Wang Junze’s current control over it, could hardly directly kill a Path-Entering Powerhouse, nor even maintain this immobilizing state for long.

If Wang Junze were uninjured and could strike with his sword in time, there was a great chance he could directly kill the opponent.

But now, the state of Wang Junze’s injuries made it impossible for him to make another move, so Peng Ru had to fill this gap for him.

Having consumed the Rebirth Pill, when Peng Ru woke up this time, his cultivation had already broken through to the Heaven-Stepping level, and combined with the power of the Li Shang Sword, this full-force strike unleashed an extremely terrifying power!

No Divine Travel Powerhouse could withstand such a strike from Peng Ru under these circumstances!

But this Sect Leader of the Corpse Demon Sect was a Path-Entering Powerhouse!

And Wang Junze’s control over the Great Nether Mirror was far from reaching Qu Lishang’s level, unable to execute the Grand Forbidden to sever the opponent’s Great Path.

"Puff!"

In a flash, this sword had already pierced into the chest of the Sect Leader of the Corpse Demon Sect. However, almost instantaneously as the sword tip entered the flesh, a terrifying Demonic Qi erupted, the opponent’s body rapidly hardened, as if in a moment, turning into a Demon Corpse, forcibly clamping the Sword Edge with its strong physique. Although it pierced the chest, it could not penetrate further to reach the heart.

The most crucial part is that, upon being attacked, the Sect Leader of the Corpse Demon Sect suddenly felt a sense of crisis, forcibly breaking free of the Great Nether Mirror’s control.

Without having time to think more, the Sect Leader of the Corpse Demon Sect’s body suddenly retreated, tearing through space in an instant, directly pulling back hundreds of meters.

Only after completely escaping the coverage of the ghostly light of the Great Nether Mirror did he break out in a cold sweat, yet this fear only lasted a moment before being replaced by greed!

"An Ancient Supreme Treasure! Qu Lishang actually gave you the Great Nether Mirror!"

Others might not recognize it, but this Sect Leader of the Corpse Demon Sect did, and precisely because of this, a madness was born in his eyes.

This is an Ancient Supreme Treasure that even Saint Realm powerhouses would stop at nothing to seize!

He had been stuck in the Dao Entrance Realm for too long; due to the special Cultivation Techniques of the Corpse Demon Sect, he had almost no hope of breaking through to the Saint Realm, but if he could seize the Great Nether Mirror and leverage its power, there was undoubtedly a chance to achieve a breakthrough!

Moreover, during the brief exchange just now, he clearly felt the power of the Great Nether Mirror, a power that almost froze space and time, which for him from the Corpse Demon Sect, was a perfect fit!

With the Great Nether Mirror protecting him, his main body would have no weaknesses. In this way, as long as he fully wielded the Demon Corpse to attack, he could stand invincible.

Such a supreme treasure was worth risking everything for!

Previously, although he had heard of the Great Nether Mirror, he truly dared not entertain the slightest bit of greed. After all, whether it was Qu Lishang or the Night Spirit Demon Venerable, they were completely beyond his ability to contend with, seizing the Great Nether Mirror from Saint Realm powerhouses had no chance of success at all!

But now the Great Nether Mirror is in Wang Junze’s hands!

Killing Wang Junze to seize the treasure would be much easier!

"Hahaha, heaven indeed helps me! Qu Lishang, that madman, dared to entrust the Great Nether Mirror to you! What are you that you deserve to hold such a supreme treasure?"

With madness in his eyes, the Sect Leader of the Corpse Demon Sect laughed out loud: "Demon Corpse, kill him for me!"

In this instant, he cared nothing about the survival of the Netherworld Mansion!

As long as he seized the Great Nether Mirror, he would immediately flee far away. As for the Netherworld Mansion, the Night Spirit Demon Venerable, they could all go to hell. Once hidden, refining the Great Nether Mirror, even the Saint Realm could be slaughtered!

The next moment, the Profound Armor Demon Corpse abandoned Huang Siyu and the Maiden of the Sea, recklessly charging towards Wang Junze.

The Demon Corpse was impervious to blades and bullets, completely indifferent to others’ attacks, now charging headlong at Wang Junze, even Huang Siyu couldn’t stop it.

Worse is that due to just wielding the Great Nether Mirror’s power for attack, Wang Junze suffered a backlash, his injuries worsening almost instantly, spitting a mouthful of blood. If not for the Great Nether Mirror timely returning to stabilize his injuries, Wang Junze might have perished in that brief moment.

Yet even so, Wang Junze could sense the backlash from the Great Nether Mirror, his face turned pale as death, barely keeping alive was already the limit, having no strength to block the Demon Corpse’s assault!

As for activating the Great Nether Mirror again, that’s tantamount to suicide!

The situation worsened to the extreme in an instant!

"Go!"

With a look of urgency in her eyes, the Maiden of the Sea spoke loudly: "Mirage Dragon, take Brother Ye away!"

Unable to block the Demon Corpse meant certain death, now their only choice was to abandon the plan to capture the Netherworld Manor and find a way to take Wang Junze and flee.

In fact, there was no need for the Maiden of the Sea to remind, as the Mirage Dragon instinctively felt a hint of fear, turning sharply to flee from the Netherworld Mansion.

"Escape?! How can you hope to escape?!"

Another burst of wild laughter echoed, with a flicker of the Sect Leader of the Corpse Demon Sect’s figure, he ignored the boundaries of space, appearing directly in front of the Mirage Dragon, striking a palm, Demonic Qi surging like a tidal wave to crush the Mirage Dragon!

"Leave them for me!"

Even though he was at a disadvantage before, he quickly realized that Wang Junze simply couldn’t continuously wield the Great Nether Mirror’s power; facing such temptation, it was worth risking another direct attempt to seize it!

Besides, he really didn’t need to go all out, just make a move to slightly stop them, and wait for the Demon Corpse to catch up; then he could have the Demon Corpse kill Wang Junze.
