Chapter 46: The Ghost Swordsman

  With a wave of his hand in the void, Ye Yang's eyes moved swiftly and his hands were quick, his speed was not much inferior to that of the Devouring Beast!

  "Bang!"

  A thorny tail was tightly grasped, Ye Yang urged the true energy of the valley, his whole body's fierce flames surged, rotating his body, a huge force brought the Corpse Devouring Beast's body spinning around!

  "Boom!"

  In a loud crash, the massive body of the brain-eating beast, resembling a giant black panther, finally appeared, heavily slamming into the mud. Ye Yang suddenly rose up with his sword!

  "Hmph!"

  The sword flashed and swept away, and the skull of the Brain-Eating Beast was instantly cut off!

  At this moment, Ye Yang finally understood why he saw so many headless corpses when he first entered the Qingyun Mountains. It must have been the doing of this Brain-Eating Beast. If this beast really eats human brains, it deserves to be sliced into a thousand pieces!

  ……

  He stretched out his right hand, and the palm was full of dense wounds, almost bloody and blurry. Fortunately, the true energy lingering in the palm protected the meridians, so this was just an external injury and would not have a great impact on his combat power.

  But at this moment, a strong sense of impending danger surged forth!

  Turning back, two huge black shadows shot over!

  Brain-eating beast, two heads!

  In an instant, Ye Yang reacted, his left hand swung out the Qian Kun shield, and his right hand wielded a sword that slashed out a vast and shocking thunderbolt!

  "Boom!"

  Lightning flashed amidst the flames, instantly reducing a small patch of forest to ashes.

  However, the two-headed Brain Eater dodged the Dry Heaven Shield and Wild Thunder with cunning, and in the next moment, Ye Yang's two arms hurt simultaneously!

  "Hmph!"

  The Brain Eater opened its huge mouth and its terrifying fangs deeply pierced into Ye Yang's arm.

  Fresh blood surged, Ye Yang's eyes instantly turned golden, his right arm floated with ancient runes, thick divine power emerged, and he let out a loud roar, the sword danced wildly!

  "Waaaahhhh..."

  Amidst the cries of agony, a Brain Eater was hacked into two segments, both parts of its body still writhing and twitching on the ground.

  The other Brain Eater disappeared, moving as swiftly as lightning. Ye Yang could only catch its breath but couldn't pinpoint the creature's exact location.

  Gritting his teeth, a sharp pain and numbness spread from his arms, the poisonous fangs of the Brain Eater had a paralyzing effect, although not deadly, it was enough to immobilize its prey. When the Brain Eater encountered a strong opponent, it would always inflict wounds first, wait for its target to be completely paralyzed before finishing it off with ease!

  Of course, the toxin of the Brain Eater poses no life-threatening danger to Ye Yang. As someone who possesses the power of the Seventh Level of the Earthly Realm, Ye Yang already has a certain level of resistance to poison. Every time his strength increases, his true energy refines his body and blood. When a martial artist enters the Starry Sky Realm, they will undergo a transformation of their physical body, with their bones and meridians expanding and strengthening greatly. This is like a container that must be strengthened before it can withstand the majestic energy of the Starry Sky!

  However, the toxin from the Brain Eater still affected Ye Yang, at least slowing down his movements by as much as half a second!

  "Boom!"

  His right arm was ambushed again, the Flame Sword fell to the ground with a clang, and Ye Yang's arm was so severely injured that he couldn't even hold his weapon!

  Gritting his teeth, flames swirling around him in a vortex, he withstood the Brain Eater's repeated assaults.

  Ye Yang's heart was clear and calm, he knew that his speed after being poisoned was absolutely no match for the Brain Eater, only by killing this Brain Eater could he avoid being killed by the three Brain Eaters' encirclement, otherwise, as a newly entered Seventh Level expert on the mainland, he might really be buried here.

  Made up my mind, go for it!

  Suddenly, Ye Yang greatly increased his energy, and the remaining true energy of the Fire God surged out, forming a huge flame storm within a range of dozens of meters. A large amount of fire god power erupted from the soles of Ye Yang's feet, surging out like a shockwave, almost instantly submerging the surrounding forest!

  "Ah!"

  A raging fire suddenly burst out without warning and instantly swept around!

  "Hooo..."

  The miserable howl of the Brain Eater came, right in front, this beast was burned by flames, rolling on the ground and screaming. The difference between the seventh level of the earth and the sixth level of the Tianying was like heaven and earth. Once Ye Yang hit it head-on, the Brain Eater had no reason to continue living. The Fire God's remnant true energy was overbearing and majestic, in just an instant, the Brain Eater was burned into flying ash!

  It wasn't just the Devouring Beast, everything within a radius of tens of meters had turned to charcoal. Ye Yang had almost exhausted all his true energy to unleash this move, and from now on, he could only leave it to fate. Even if a level 3 Ironback Boar came, it would be able to knock down Ye Yang, a level 7 powerhouse, like a cabbage.

  ……

  Wow!

  A sweetness rose in his throat, and after being seriously injured, Ye Yang finally spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground with a thud. The fresh blood splattered on the scorched earth, making a "patter patter" sound.

  The true energy in his body seemed to be almost exhausted, unable to muster up any strength. However, Ye Yang's mind was clearer than ever before, more awake and aware, with his senses expanding greatly around him!

  "This is bad!"

  A strong sense of crisis came over him, and Ye Yang suddenly felt a very powerful aura approaching!

  "Brush!"

  In an instant, a middle-aged man wearing a gray robe, carrying a long sword on his back, raised his sword eyebrows and laughed loudly: "Ye Yang, the legendary Fire God Warrior, haha, I didn't expect that I, Guijian Shi Wang Kun, would have such good luck, and get it all without any effort!"

  Ye Yang struggled to get up, but his whole body was trembling, as if he would fall down at any moment.

  Golden pupils stared at the middle-aged man in front of him, Ye Yang coldly said: "Who are you?"

  "You're going to be the death of me!"

  The middle-aged man with a sly smile at the corner of his mouth said, "You're already a dead man, so I'll tell you some more. I'm the legendary Jianghu Ghost Swordsman - Wang Kun. Who under the heavens doesn't know my great name?! This time, that old fellow Peng Feng entrusted me to enter the Qingyun Mountains and take care of the legendary Fire God Warrior. I thought it would be a lot of trouble, but unexpectedly, I finally got this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Those few beasts really helped me out a lot!"

  Ye Yang secretly cursed in his heart. As expected, that old thing Peng Feng still didn't want to let him off and had actually sent a master like the Ghost Swordswoman to finish him off!

  Looking up, Wang Kun had already grasped the black long sword behind him in his hand. The sword blade was emitting a deep blue true energy, obviously, this Wang Kun had already entered the peak stage of the eighth level of the Great Earth Realm. Even if Ye Yang were in his prime, he might not be able to defeat him. Now that his true energy was exhausted, it was impossible for him to win against Wang Kun.

  "Brush!"

  The golden color in his pupils slowly faded away, and Ye Yang finally had no more true energy to support the transformation state of the Fire God Warrior. The flames and runes on his arms also dissipated one after another, and he returned to his normal state in an instant, holding the Broken Flame Sword in his hand, with anger and unwillingness filling his eyes as he stared at the Ghost Sword Master Wang Kun in front of him.
