Martial Master

Immediately afterward.

Boom!

Suddenly, a figure flew out from the jade vial, landing in front of Qin Chen and the Skeleton Helmsman.

This was a burly man, with muscles bulging all over his body, but there was no trace of life in him. His face was pale, clearly a corpse.

However, his bones were solid, and his physique was strong; he was at the peak level of mid-seventh rank during his lifetime.

Tie Lun Wang?

The Skeleton Helmsman was shocked.

This Martial King was actually a top expert secretly controlled by the Blood Demon Sect, one of the strongest beings currently in the sect aside from the Skeleton Helmsman.

However, he hadn't seen the corpse of Tie Lun Wang in the valley earlier; he didn’t expect it to have been stored in the jade vial by the Chi Yan Demon Lord.

But why was the Chi Yan Demon Lord bringing out the corpse of Tie Lun Wang now?

As he was pondering this, a terrifying black light erupted from the jade vial with a buzzing sound. The black light exuded an evil aura, instantly entering Tie Lun Wang's body. The next moment, the Martial King's eyes suddenly opened wide, shooting out two bundles of pitch-black demonic light.

"Jie jie jie, Eternal Night, now this Demon Lord has a body as well. You two, just wait to die."

To his surprise, the voice of the Chi Yan Demon Lord came from Tie Lun Wang's mouth, with a sinister smile, and black demonic patterns spread all over Tie Lun Wang's body, instantly transforming him into a demon.

Boom!

As the words fell, the Chi Yan Demon Lord, holding the jade vial, charged towards the Skeleton Helmsman and Qin Chen like lightning, his movements agile and speed comparable to a Martial Emperor.

"Borrowing the corpse to return to the soul!"

The Skeleton Helmsman was taken aback.

Borrowing the corpse to return to the soul was a secret technique of the Demon Tribe. The soul power of the Demon Tribe's experts was very strange and powerful; upon reaching a certain level, they could seize the bodies of human martial artists.

Back then, the Skeleton Helmsman had seized the body of a human Martial King, but it had caused a mutation that left him as a skeleton, neither human nor ghost.

Now, the technique of borrowing the corpse to return to the soul, exhibited by the Chi Yan Demon Lord, was evidently more powerful than the one he initially used; it merely treated the body of the human Martial King as a temporary vessel, unleashing tremendous power for a short time.

This indicated that the recovery level of the Chi Yan Demon Lord's soul was even above his own; otherwise, he couldn't possibly perform such a secret technique, as this technique required extremely high soul strength.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, the Chi Yan Demon Lord, the Skeleton Helmsman, and Qin Chen were engaged in a frenzied battle. At first, the Chi Yan Demon Lord was evidently not very familiar with the human body, and his movements were somewhat stiff. But soon, he became increasingly proficient, his reactions and speed having already reached the level of a Martial Emperor.

Is this too abnormal?

Qin Chen's eyes widened in horror. Borrowing the corpse to return to the soul—there are such bizarre techniques in this world? No wonder the Demon Tribe had become a disaster for the entire continent, causing a dark and chaotic era.

Not to mention the strength of these Demon Tribe experts, just their ability to seize the bodies of human martial artists at will was nearly unsolvable.

This is simply a transformation technique!

To be able to change bodies at will—how can one fight against that?

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After the Chi Yan Demon Lord obtained a body, his strength instantly increased compared to when he was in the jade vial. The jade vial was evidently a rare treasure, continuously emanating black demonic energy, forcing Qin Chen to retreat repeatedly.

"Li Kan Holy Mirror!"

Qin Chen summoned the Li Kan Holy Mirror, white light blossoming and instantly shining on the Chi Yan Demon Lord. Hiss, hiss, hiss—the Chi Yan Demon Lord's body immediately emitted streams of black smoke, his skin covered in sores.
