Chapter 994: Pursuing The Princess

The increasing power of the corpse also increased Feiyu’s confidence.

“Who wants to fight? Come on out!” He roared.

A bird and white spider demon had fallen. Their blood still burned on the ground.

In human territories, the fall of a paragon would become the hottest topic and could affect regional balances.

“Impudent half-demon, do you think this corpse alone can stop us?” The three paragons from the Yin World activated their beast souls.

They summoned an eleventh-ranked spirit treasure together. It resembled a square-shaped well that shoot out red lights. The walls were made of metal and towered for sixty meters. It rotated in the air and let out violent gales before flying down.

This was the combined attack of three paragons. The treasure was fully activated and affected the whole area.

The corpse leaped upward with one hand engulfed in miasma with immense corrosive potential.

“Rumble!” The corpse smashed the wall and issued a deafening blast. The three paragons trembled before staggering backward.

“Boom!” The corpse let out nefarious laughter, seemingly the language of the underworld.

The three paragons were being pushed back continuously. The wall vibrated crazily along with the rest of the area.

“Ugh…” Finally, one of them couldn’t handle the pressure and spat out a mouthful of blood. His robe exploded, revealing his decrepit face.

The other two eventually coughed blood as well and their robes also exploded.

“Die!” Feiyun was determined to kill them and ordered the corpse.

It slammed one of the old men and stomped on him.

“Boom! Boom!” The frightened man unleashed numerous techniques in order to escape.

This infuriated the corpse so it tore off the man’s head and swallowed it whole.

Energy sources erupted within and cured its injuries just now. It became stronger than before as it swallowed the rest of the victim’s body.

Even its frame had a hard time keeping in the influx of energy. A paragon’s flesh and blood were comparable to a treasury.

Just one drop of blood could crush a first-level Nirvana cultivator. Thus, this corpse could only eat two of them at the same time. Swallowing another one would result in an implosion.

The two survivors were horrified. If the news of this corpse were to spread, it would cause a storm of fear.

“Feng Feiyun, didn’t you want to deal with Aquamoon Saintess? Why did you switch camp?” Princess Feiyuan had an ugly expression, realizing that her opponent was difficult to deal with and qualified to negotiate. A while ago, she wouldn’t bother speaking to such a lowly being.

“Men change because of women.” He smiled.

“You fancy the saintess?” She asked.

“Why can’t I?”

The experts laughed and said: “Poor half-demon, someone of your wretched status has no chance of pursuing the saintess.”

“She will not like a half-demon so stop daydreaming. You’re better off working with me and capturing her. I will cripple her cultivation and she’ll be yours then.” The princess said.

“Haha! What a great idea, I’ll get the saintess and you’ll get your ruler.” Feiyun laughed at first but became serious after: “Unfortunately, I want her heart, not her body. Even if I can’t get her heart, I will keep her safe.”

“Who believes this shit?” The turtle hiding beneath a brick murmured.

The princess’ expression turned colder: “Do you not care for Yao Ji and Xueshuang? I have them right now.”

Feiyun knew that he couldn’t negotiate or it would be over.

“You’re not leaving this place today.” He said before commanding the corpse to attack her.

She leaped backward and spat out a white pearl into her hand. Numerous runes appeared and a massive power erupted. It was as if she was holding a star.

“The light of the sacred ancestor, indomitable soul!” The radiance from the pearl was blinding.

A strand of power shot out like a beam towards the corpse, decapitating its head. The upper body was being purified by the power of the beam.

“Can’t believe that I needed to waste a strand of sacred power because of a half-demon.” She sneered.

Everything became simple with that corpse gone. The paragons’ eyes became chilling again.

Feiyun, on the other hand, remained calm. He placed his palms together and created another mudra: “Grand Puppet Art, Puppet Rebirth.”

The severed head and the body suddenly joined together again. All the broken parts became the same as before.

“Raa!” The corpse spewed out miasma; its eyes looked greener than before.

Fortunately for Feiyun, it had devoured two paragons earlier and had plenty of power. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to revive it despite using the Grand Puppet Art.

The paragons became alarmed and backed off again.

“How can this be?!” The princess took out the pearl again but she couldn’t summon the power of the saint because the corpse took it from her.

It struck her shoulder and left behind a bloody print, breaking numerous bones in the process. She lost control and couldn’t move at all since miasma was invading her body.

The demon experts and those from the Yin World ran for their lives. They had no chance of winning against this corpse.

“Not so fast!” Feiyun sent the corpse after the experts. A great battle broke out in this area. Floating buildings were destroyed and scattered downward.

Finally, another three paragons were killed while the rest got away.

The turtle was fast and took back the three corpses. Two of them were the experts from the Yin World, the third was the pig demon. The latter was decapitated.

“Good, all four paragons from the Yin World are dead.” He didn’t want others to know about his current power. Otherwise, the Yin World would send even stronger experts above his reach.

The demons suffered greatly as well. A tiger-wolf and a gale demon were crippled by Xuanyuan Yiyi. A white spider, vermillion bird, and scaled pig were killed. Only six managed to escape.

Feiyun was fatigued from using the puppet art. He recalled the corpse and took the pearl from it. It contained the power of a sacred soul while being a priceless treasure itself. He didn’t recognize this material.

He then came over towards the princess and crouched down. He raised her chin and smiled: “Your Highness, didn’t I tell you that you weren’t leaving this place today. How are you doing, need my help?”

She was still as pretty as ever as she lay on top of her silver hair. Her eyes were shiny like amber. Though she was grievously wounded, this didn’t diminish her transcending beauty.
