Chapter 1492: Chapter 700: Another Mutation Emerges

A malicious heart cannot be diminished; a cautious heart cannot be lacking. Deception, manipulation, drugging, poisoning, stabbing in the back, feigned surrender, feigned death—all are necessary skills for traversing the Jianghu, and must be mastered. Those Mystic Sect Mountain People, even if they haven’t perfected arithmetic or swordsmanship, understand the necessity of follow-up strikes when killing...

But it does seem he’s really dead, right? His flesh was charred and blasted open, his entire body pierced by flying knives like a porcupine, his skull smoking as it flew out, and there was no trace of Primordial Spirit Wave around him. If this doesn’t count as dead, then what does?

After a brief silence, the assassin ceased hiding. Two figures in night clothes leapt out of the ruins, exchanged a glance, pinched the formula, chanted, first gathered a Qi Shield, transformed into copper wall and iron wall to protect themselves, then retracted the flying sword magical treasures, tucked them into their bodies, sprayed Dao Breath to nourish and gather strength, while keeping a close eye on the remnants in the field, ready to launch a second wave of attack at any moment.

"Cough cough cough hahahah!"

The Qilin was not yet dead. Though gravely wounded and bloodied, unrecognizable and rotting in a puddle, it still possessed the fate of a National Guardian Beast, plus the support of company technology. Despite its internal organs being utterly destroyed by punches, it still managed to crawl, spraying blood from its mouth, desperately trying to retrieve the King’s head, possibly to escape, its will to live astonishingly strong.

"Swish, swish, swish!" "Boom!"

The two assassins naturally gave no chance, flinging magical treasures and flying swords at it, clanging and banging straight towards the Qilin’s head and spine, giving it no chance to turn the tables. Simultaneously, each sprayed a burst of Daoist energy from their mouths and noses, forming two large cyan hands in the air, one reaching into the Qilin’s belly, grabbing and pulling, extracting its heart and lungs, digging out intestines, spilling a mudslide of bloody sludge onto the ground.

The other Dao Qi hand pinched a formula to form a seal, gathered Dao Power, and shaped a Big Hand Seal in the air, which slammed onto the King’s Skin Sack, crushing the entire body into the ground. After that slap, it did not withdraw, continuing its relentless blows, fiercely pounding the King’s posterior, creating a cloud of dust and spreading sand everywhere—regardless if you’re pretending to be dead or truly dead, my full set of output will surely be executed.

Tie Dan nodded secretly from the side. After all, the Mystic Sect disciples were indeed unusual. Although their swordsmanship was somewhat lacking, their foundational courses in arithmetic, alchemy technique, and hand technique were profoundly accumulated. Those flying knives and flying swords were truly rubbish, but that Heaven-Flipping Seal was quite meticulously refined, a finely crafted piece of garbage. The Dao Power contained within the magical treasure was quite abundant, having been soaked for at least five hundred years—possibly this guy’s graduation project.

Indeed, with only one move, Tie Dan recognized the cyan hand seal was the True Inheritor Qingxiao Tribulation Suppressing Hand from the Kongtong lineage. He deduced this person’s roots, for earlier his two disciples had fought this fellow, having guest-starred twice. Unexpectedly seeing him appear again in a parallel world, it seems this person indeed has a connection with the Sword Sect...

What? Where was Tie Dan watching? Oh, his Primordial Spirit had emerged.

After all, the King’s Skin Suit was just a casually used tool, especially after trying an upgraded version of the Heavenly Silkworm Skill, the Butterfly Skill. Despite its explosive output, it was battered beyond recognition by the Qilin, but had burned through its fat and exhausted its Essence Blood, being of no further use.

As for Pei Yuhuan’s remains, beautiful and pale as they were, still just a pile of bones, at this time devoid of True Qi, serving no purpose. However, they’d been refined with Corpse Dissolving Immortal Technique, making the bones extremely hard, impossible to break with a mere Shock Sword Technique, tossed there freely for any relentless beatings.

Cough cough, in summary, if Tie Dan’s memory serves correctly, the assassin before him is Kongtong Mountain Man Wei Lingfeng, an orphan who trained under Kongtong Sect Leader Wuwei Divine Monarch, receiving true transmission from the Kongtong Four Elders, encountering Huangfu Yi and Chen Xuantian being slain—had the two not encountered him in this parallel world, surviving to this day would be implausible. Now this guy has matured, astonishingly having even mastered the Supreme Three Corpses God Skill...

Of course, Tie Dan vividly remembers being ambushed by Xuanzhen Old Dog of the Kongtong Four Elders, receiving a slap from the Three Corpses Fan, illustrating that the Kongtong lineage indeed has the true transmission of the Three Corpses Cutting Method. The Wei Lingfeng before him, at the Nascent Soul Realm, surprisingly could already cut out three corpses, proving remarkable. Though the first two corpses may have been cut relatively late, with weaker strength, useful only as scouts, spies, or human explosive, the final one’s strength is considerably deep, nearly matching the main body, having a cultivation of at least several centuries.

Yes, the two individuals before him, both at the Nascent Soul Realm, possessing profound Dao, one maneuvering the Heaven-Overturning Seal, the other executing the Big Hand Seal—one must be the main body and the other the three corpses. Both sharing identical roots, same nature and fate, even arithmetic for a moment cannot deduce their origins.

After all, it was meant to avert disasters. If outsiders could see through it in an instant, what would be the point of cultivating the three corpses? Even in a fifty-fifty situation, guessing the main body and eliminating it in seconds wouldn’t matter. Since the three corpses were crafted for refuge, ready to perform Body Seizing for the main body. The Nascent Soul can change Dao Bodies as easily as changing clothes. Only after passing the Life-taking Tribulation would there be potential rebellion of the corpses, yet within the Nascent Soul Realm, such concern is unnecessary; truly, it’s the Divine Skill for the Mystic Sect’s early-middle period.
