Sole Sword Supremacy-Chapter 530 - 534: Activating the Great Nether Mirror
Kill!
The entire Netherworld Mansion was in chaos, everyone frantically fighting, even the Mirage Dragon released a mass of Mirage Qi, leading to the deaths of many Netherworld Mansion soldiers.
However, compared to the many experts in Netherworld Mansion, such attacks were ultimately like trying to put out a fire with a cup of water.
Of course, the most troublesome was still the Profound Armor Demon Corpse.
In fact, if it weren’t for the restraint of the Demon Corpse, with Huang Siyu’s means, whether poisoning or using hidden weapons, could have killed many experts. But now, struggling against the Demon Corpse, Huang Siyu found herself in dire straits, unable even to support others, and without the occasional help of the Maiden of the Sea, she likely would have already been overwhelmed.
As the battle continued, the experts of Netherworld Mansion also realized that Wang Junze hadn’t made a move from start to finish, remaining concealed under the Mirage Qi, preventing anyone from discovering Wang Junze’s injury.
However, the losses on the Four Seas Commerce Association’s side were growing larger, and if the situation continued like this, it wouldn’t be long before total collapse was imminent.
During this process, Wang Junze wanted more than once to take the risk, directly activating the Great Nether Mirror’s power to immobilize the Demon Corpse, creating an opportunity for Huang Siyu and others to kill the Sect Leader of the Corpse Demon Sect. Yet, rationality forced him to suppress this thought.
Not only was recklessly activating the Great Nether Mirror extremely dangerous, potentially causing Wang Junze’s injuries to erupt, but also a major factor was that once it was revealed that the Great Nether Mirror was in his possession, it could provoke all the demon cultivators to desperately fight to seize the Great Nether Mirror.
By then, the situation would only become increasingly complicated.
"Wang Junze, what are you still waiting for?"
Suddenly, the Sect Leader of the Corpse Demon Sect spoke, "I’ve heard you are a Sword Path Genius, rarely seen in a hundred years, and have killed Dugu Feng, Miss Fang, and even... Situ Haokong. Why not let me witness your abilities!"
During this period, the Sect Leader of the Corpse Demon Sect always had to keep a portion of his attention on Wang Junze, and this made him somewhat impatient.
For Netherworld Mansion, the key to everything now lay with Wang Junze; once he was killed, the remaining people would lose morale, leading to a collapse without further attack.
This prolonged entanglement had exhausted his patience, compelling him to attempt a risky attack against Wang Junze.
In an instant, including Huang Siyu, everyone’s nerves suddenly tensed, subconsciously gathering around Wang Junze’s direction.
However, unexpectedly, this subtle change actually made the Sect Leader of the Corpse Demon Sect’s eyes shine.
"What’s the matter, is it that you have no confidence to surpass me, or... are you injured and unable to strike?!"
Though unable to discern Wang Junze’s true state, the Sect Leader of the Corpse Demon Sect vaguely guessed the truth at first instance.
According to rumors, Wang Junze always struck first when facing opponents, and his Swordsmanship was exceptional, often able to reverse the battle, but now, despite nearly half an hour of fighting, Wang Junze hadn’t made a move, which was extremely unusual.
"You can try and see!"
Heart thumping slightly, yet outwardly, Wang Junze maintained a casual demeanor, indifferently speaking.
The Demon Corpse was held by Huang Siyu; if the opponent truly dared to attack him, he might have to take the risk and activate the Great Nether Mirror, attempting to collaborate with Yang Hong and others to kill the opponent.
For Wang Junze, this was definitely not a good choice, but if it came to a last resort, he wouldn’t be afraid to fight the opponent desperately.
Boom!
Almost at the moment Wang Junze faced off with the Sect Leader of the Corpse Demon Sect, the grand array of Netherworld Mansion was again under attack, and the next instant, Pei Haoran led over a hundred experts, boldly charging into the Netherworld Mansion!
"Kill! Kill everyone in Netherworld Mansion, rewards for all!"
This time, following Pei Haoran into the fray wasn’t just the people from the Four Seas Commerce Association; a large group of demon cultivators from Netherworld City had also been gathered.
Previously, Pei Haoran’s words at the Spring Flower Autumn Moon Building ultimately swayed many demon cultivators!
All of them licked blood from the edge of the knife; as long as there’s enough profit, there’s nothing they wouldn’t dare to do.
Finally, it had come!
In an instant, Wang Junze’s taut nerves relaxed, having these experts as support meant that the battle would soon stabilize. While not guaranteeing victory, they could certainly hold back those from Netherworld Mansion.
And this battle was originally a war of attrition that weakens one side while strengthening the other!
As long as Wang Junze and his allies could hold on long enough, more of the originally undecided demon cultivators would join the fight against Netherworld Mansion, making victory assured.
However, just as Pei Haoran and others charged into Netherworld Mansion, the Sect Leader of the Corpse Demon Sect’s figure suddenly shook, and he abruptly attacked, aiming for Wang Junze.
Many things Wang Junze could foresee, the Sect Leader also understood.
This battle couldn’t be dragged out any longer; he had to risk testing whether Wang Junze was indeed injured.
In an instant, demonic Qi erupted, and the Sect Leader of the Corpse Demon Sect, like a ghost, struck at Wang Junze; although lacking the Demon Corpse’s support, the attack was still as fast as lightning, and by the time Yang Hong and others reacted, it was already too late to rescue.
Even without the Demon Corpse, the opponent was a Path Realm powerhouse, and with the intent to ambush, the strike was exceedingly swift.
"Howl!"
Sensing danger, the Mirage Dragon spewed a breath of dragon’s breath, attempting to block the attack. However, the Mirage Dragon itself was only a Transformed Great Demon, and contending with a Divine Travel Powerhouse was the limit of its ability, incapable of stopping the Path-Entering expert’s attack.
The expelled dragon breath failed to delay the Sect Leader of the Corpse Demon Sect even for a moment, swiftly dispersed by demonic Qi!
A probing hand suddenly transformed into a dry, skeletal demon hand, fiercely grabbing towards Wang Junze’s heart. Having manipulated the Demon Corpse for years, the Sect Leader’s physical body largely acquired the properties of a demon corpse, sharper than ordinary Divine Weapons!
This claw, if it materialized, would definitely be capable of extracting and crushing Wang Junze’s heart.
At the brink of life and death, Wang Junze didn’t even have time to think, instinctively activating the power of the Great Nether Mirror.
In that instant, it was as if the entire world came to a halt!
Between his brows, an eerie light emerged, and an ancient copper mirror abruptly flew out, enveloping the Sect Leader of the Corpse Demon Sect.
This was Wang Junze’s first time activating the Great Nether Mirror’s power, and the sense of profound energy seemingly able to suspend time immediately made Wang Junze feel as if everything was under his control.
So strong!
Previously, Wang Junze always found it curious why with Qu Lishang’s strength, he would be tempted by the Great Nether Mirror, willing to spend over thirty years trying to refine it. But now, as he truly manipulated the Great Nether Mirror’s power, he too was irresistibly captivated by it.
Bear in mind, what Wang Junze could wield now was merely the weakest trace of the Great Nether Mirror’s original power; he was still exceedingly far from truly refining it and unleashing its full potential.
