Having just recovered from their old injuries, dealing with the Corpse Fiend shouldn't have been a problem. Who would have thought that the three Yin brothers would cooperate so well and actually be able to send a helping hand from afar using the Blood Curse?
"Ye Xingchen, this time, let's see if you live or die." Yin Lao Er grinned maliciously, his hands moving rapidly as he urged the Corpse Fiend forward.
"That's not necessarily true." Ye Xingchen sneered. It was nothing more than breaking through to a higher realm again.
Although breaking through to higher realms twice within half a month will inevitably damage one's foundation, so what? The Supreme Jade Purity Dao Scripture has many secret methods; it's just a matter of spending more time healing.
He stood up, brandishing the Crimson Cloud sword, ready to break through to the next realm.
Just then, a beam of spiritual light swept across the void, and at the same time, a voice came from the void: "Chu Xing is normal, there is no such place."
The voice seemed to travel across time, like a woman whispering softly, or like someone troubled by love murmuring gently.
Immediately afterwards, a golden light descended from above Ye Xingchen, forming a golden bell that enveloped him.
The golden bell slowly rotated, and then five huge Sanskrit characters emanated from the bell and floated in the air.
"The Vajra Subduing Demon Divine Power?" Ye Xingchen looked up at the sky and saw a beautiful figure appear in mid-air.
A distance of a thousand feet can be covered in an instant.
The newcomer was Su Ruochu. She formed a lotus seal with two fingers of her right hand, and with a slight parting of her lips, uttered a single word: "Lin".
With a sudden burst of energy, the five Sanskrit characters amplified, striking the five corpses and then exploding with a deafening roar.
With a thud, the five corpse demons were sent flying.
Buddhist demon-subduing supernatural powers are the ultimate nemesis of this kind of corpse evil, suppressing it greatly and reducing its power.
Ye Xingchen seized the opportunity, his Crimson Sky Sword flashed, and he slashed out.
*Thud thud thud...* Each of the five corpse demons was struck by a sword, and the chilling sword energy dissipated instantly. The heads of the five corpse demons drooped heavily, and they fell to the ground with a thud, never to stand up again.
As soon as the evil formation broke, Yin Lao Er, who was controlling the corpse evil, suffered a backlash. He staggered backward and then knelt down on the ground with a thud.
Blood was gushing from Yin Lao Er's mouth as if it were free; all the meridians in his body were broken, and it was clear he was not going to survive.
But this guy was still holding on to his last breath. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Ye Xingchen. If looks could kill, he probably would have killed Ye Xingchen ten or eight times over.
"What, you're not convinced?" Ye Xingchen put away Chixiao and slowly walked forward.
"Ye Xingchen, how come you're so lucky?" Yin Lao Er spat out another mouthful of blood, forcing himself to lift his head: "Why aren't you dead yet?"
"I'm a good person. How can a good person die so easily? If you're hoping for my early death, then I advise you to go to bed early." Ye Xingchen said with a smile, "But you, who have done so many bad things, will not even have a chance to be reincarnated after you die."
"I've been living a carefree life for so many years, so what if I die? I've made a profit." Yin Lao Er grinned maliciously, blood gushing from his mouth.
"Since you're going to die anyway, let me ask you something," Ye Xingchen squatted down and looked directly at Yin Lao Er: "Why did you kill a pregnant woman and use the fetus in her womb to cultivate an infant spirit?"
"Do you want to know?" Yin Lao Er's gaze was cold.
"Of course, I want to know." Ye Xingchen nodded: "If you hadn't kept doing these things, I wouldn't have set this up for you."
"Hehe, I'm not going to tell you, what can you do to me?" Yin Lao Er laughed loudly: "You'll never know what I do, you just need to know one thing, this is aimed at you."
"Oh, it's targeting me? Then I'm relieved." Ye Xingchen looked like he suddenly understood. "Let them do whatever they want, I'm not that scared."
"Ye Xingchen, you have far too many enemies." Yin Lao Er's body convulsed, clearly indicating that he had reached the limit of his life.
"Sooner or later, you will die too. On the road to the underworld, I will be waiting for you, waiting for you..."
With a thud, Yin Lao Er collapsed heavily to the ground, his eyes wide open, no longer breathing.
This guy has been practicing evil arts for many years. Once he dies, he won't even have a chance to be reincarnated.
Ye Xingchen stepped forward and, after confirming that the guy was indeed dead, breathed a long sigh of relief.
When he turned around, he met Su Ruochu's gaze.
He was pleasantly surprised: "Why are you back?"
"I missed you, so I came back." Su Ruochu smiled gently, her dimples quite charming.
"You've entered the Celestial Phenomenon?" Ye Xingchen looked at her face, which was as smooth as jade, and her body shone with spiritual light. This was clearly a sign that she had entered the Celestial Phenomenon.
Unexpectedly, Su Ruochu had comprehended the Celestial Phenomenon Realm several months after she left, which was something Ye Xingchen had not anticipated.
“Yes, I was on my way, heading west, admiring the falling flowers and watching the floating clouds.” Su Ruochu said leisurely, “I felt the impermanence of life, but I also felt that the time was peaceful and beautiful. Occasionally, in the morning light, I saw through a dewdrop and saw through the myriad aspects of the world. So, I suddenly understood.”
“That’s good.” Ye Xingchen nodded slowly. “Tell me about the strange things you’ve encountered along the way. I’m quite curious. However, you can continue to travel the world. Perhaps you’ll make faster progress that way.”
“I learned that you’ve been going through some troubles lately, so I came back,” Su Ruochu said. “As soon as I got back, I encountered a corpse demon that was entangled with you, so I used Buddhist demon-subduing powers to help you.”
"You've entered the path of Zen?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“Yes, my grandmother chanted scriptures and practiced Zen her whole life. Before she passed away, she bequeathed all her good fortune and blessings to me.” Su Ruochu said, “And you also said that she broke the three precepts to enter Buddhism, but she still retained wisdom.”
“If there is an afterlife, I will definitely remember the things from my previous life, so I practice her Zen path so that I can find her after she is reincarnated.”
"Alright." Ye Xingchen nodded: "You should first comprehend Confucianism and Taoism. With the blessing of the old lady's good fortune, your cultivation of Zen should be twice as effective. If you diligently cultivate in the future, you will eventually become a saintly being."
"Whether I can enter the Saints or not doesn't matter." Su Ruochu suddenly stepped forward, almost touching Ye Xingchen: "The important thing is, I'm coming back to help you, aren't you going to show your appreciation?"
She was almost pressed against Ye Xingchen, which startled him. Smelling the fragrance emanating from her, Ye Xingchen quickly took a step back and distanced himself from her: "Stop fooling around, I am your master."
“I’ve never called you ‘Master,’ at most I’ve called you ‘Teacher.’” Su Ruochu took another step forward, looking directly at Ye Xingchen: “Shouldn’t men be more proactive than women?”
"What...what are you trying to do?" Ye Xingchen asked, both amused and exasperated.
"I missed you." Su Ruochu grabbed Ye Xingchen's arms, leaving him nowhere to retreat, and then slowly leaned into his arms.
Helpless, Ye Xingchen stretched out his arms, hesitated for a moment, and finally reluctantly pulled her into his embrace.
