"Original Dragon Qi?"

An intense gleam flashed in Ling Chen’s eyes. This was the first time he heard these four words. Although he had worn the Divine Dragon Jade for over a decade, Ling Chen still had only a partial understanding of its use.

"With your current strength, although you still cannot unleash the true effects of the Divine Dragon Jade, it should be sufficient to eradicate this mere corpse evil within."

The Human Emperor’s voice was heard again.

Hearing this, Ling Chen nodded as he definitely couldn’t rely on the Human Emperor for everything. Now, it was time to attempt controlling this Divine Dragon Jade himself.

The Red Sky Sword in his hand suddenly moved, and Ling Chen stabbed towards the heart of the corpse evil, wanting to eliminate the evil energy inside. He first had to force this trace of evil energy to come out.

The location of the evil energy within the corpse evil was likely in the area of its heart.

Clink!

The sword tip touched the corpse evil, but it only penetrated half an inch and could go no further. The corpse evil did not fear Ling Chen’s sword light and faced Ling Chen with a direct grab.

His body suddenly leaned back, and Ling Chen switched the Red Sky Sword to his left hand while his left hand rotated swiftly. Simultaneously, the Red Sky Sword spun rapidly, generating a formidable vortex of sword qi that scorched the corpse evil’s chest, piercing deeply.

Having successfully left a large hole in the corpse evil’s chest, Ling Chen retreated quickly. His gaze fell on the hole in the corpse evil’s chest, where there was a strange, slowly wriggling black light.

"That’s the thing."

A gleam appeared in Ling Chen’s eyes. In the next moment, his right hand flipped, and the Divine Dragon Jade suddenly appeared in his palm, floating up. Ling Chen flicked his finger and tapped fiercely on the Divine Dragon Jade.

Whoosh!

A dragon-shaped beam shot out from the Divine Dragon Jade, heading towards the hole in the corpse evil’s chest.

Whoosh!

The dragon-shaped beam fiercely shot into the hole, instantly obliterating the strange black light. Although the black light appeared formidable, it melted away like snow when it touched the dragon-shaped beam as if it encountered its nemesis. In the blink of an eye, it was completely defeated.

With the dispersal of the evil energy, the corpse evil’s aura also suddenly weakened. Watching the lifeless, stagnant figure, Ling Chen exhaled heavily, realizing the Human Emperor had correctly said the Divine Dragon Jade could purify evil energy.

The strands of malevolent evil energy rapidly disappeared from the corpse evil. After a brief moment, it completely scattered.

Swish!

As the evil energy dissipated, the corpse evil’s movements became rigid. With a gust of wind, its body turned to ash and was blown apart, leaving behind a relic-like item that fell from the dissipated body.

Ling Chen beckoned with his hand and absorbed the relic.

Once in his hand, an extremely pure wave of energy emanated. This kind of wave was incredibly vigorous.

"Such pure energy!"

Ling Chen’s eyes revealed a trace of fervor. This kind of corpse relic contained a portion of the cultivation power of that strong figure when alive. Undoubtedly, this corpse evil was a Saint in life, and the relics left behind by a Saint are invaluable, as precious as Holy Grade elixirs. Indeed, this harvest is considerable.

Meanwhile, two other corpse evils had slaughtered the powerful figures who arrived here and were rushing towards Ling Chen.

Yet, now observing the approaching corpse evils, Ling Chen was not frightened but rather delighted. With the Divine Dragon Jade, these corpse evils posed no significant threat to him.

His right hand gripped the Red Sky Sword, and his left hand held the Divine Dragon Jade. Ling Chen unleashed two consecutive Thunder Cuts, breaking open the chest areas of the two corpse evils, where two strange evil energy clusters were controlling the corpse evils.

Repeating the technique, Ling Chen used the Divine Dragon Jade to purify the two evil energy clusters, and in the blink of an eye, the remaining two corpse evils turned to ashes, leaving two black relics that fell into Ling Chen’s hands.

"Not a bad harvest."

Ling Chen obtained three saint relics, a smile appeared at his corner. These items are greatly beneficial to his cultivation. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Just as he was about to store the saint relics, a clapping sound suddenly echoed from not far away.

"Haha, truly impressive. To kill these corpse evils and obtain saint relics from them..."

The sudden voice made Ling Chen’s pupils shrink sharply as he turned his head. There in the distance, several figures appeared without knowing when, led by Huangfu Qi, who was lightly clapping with a greedy gleam in his eyes.

Seeing that the people from the Huangfu Clan had arrived, Ling Chen immediately stored the saint relics and became wary, knowing these people are not benevolent.

"This has little relevance to your Huangfu Clan, does it?"

Ling Chen’s tone was indifferent.

"Haha, why wouldn’t it be related? These three corpse evils were originally supposed to belong to my Huangfu Clan, but you little runt got ahead."

A Huangfu Clan strongman stepped forward with a cold laugh, "Unless you voluntarily give up two saint relics, don’t expect to leave here peacefully today."

"So, Your Excellency intends to rob openly?"

A chilling intent appeared on Ling Chen’s face, "A dog cannot change its habit of eating shit; your Huangfu Clan loves to engage in underhanded and despicable acts. If you want the saint relics, just try and take them by skill!"

"Bold, but now no one can protect you."

Huangfu Qi’s lips curved in a chilling grin. He had long harbored murderous intent toward Ling Chen, but previously found no opportunity. Now inside the cave mansion, dealing with Ling Chen no longer faces external interference.

"Such an ungrateful brat, let this old man teach you what realization a weakling should have!"

By Huangfu Qi’s side, an elder with Junior semi-saint cultivation suddenly shouted and attacked Ling Chen, capturing him with a fierce assault.

"Being a weakling seems more fitting for Your Excellency."

Facing this aggressive assault from the Junior semi-saint, Ling Chen remained motionless, not planning to fend off. Instead, he sneered and taunted.

"Seeking death!"

The semi-saint elder, seeing Ling Chen’s disdain, flew into a rage, extending five True Qi claws towards Ling Chen’s heart, leaving five black marks in the air.
