Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 479 - Demon Priest

“What are you doing?” Wu Manyue was startled.

Jiang Fan said, “Catch one and take it back to persuade Boundary Mountain to retreat entirely.”

Such a massive dead corpse army was no longer something the few people on Boundary Mountain could withstand.

They could only retreat to Sunset City.

“Are you courting death?” Wu Manyue exclaimed.

“What if we alarm the dead corpse army?”

Jiang Fan blinked and said, “Of course, we run.”

“Or should we stay and wait for death?”

Huh?

Wu Manyue was both shocked and frightened, complaining, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

“If I had known it was this dangerous, I wouldn’t have come even if you beat me to death!”

Jiang Fan chuckled, “If I’m not mistaken, didn’t you insist on coming along?”

Uh—

Only then did Wu Manyue remember.

Jiang Fan had warned her of the danger.

But she hadn’t taken it seriously.

“But… but you didn’t say it would be this dangerous!”

Wu Manyue regretted it to the core.

Who knew this little rascal actually intended to catch a dead corpse!

If they were discovered.

The consequences, Wu Manyue dared not even imagine.

Not to mention being chased by a vast dead corpse army.

Just considering the Demon Priest who controlled such a huge dead corpse army.

How weak could their power be?

If they gave chase.

Even with great abilities, they might not escape.

But.

The three puppets had already sneaked up to the edge of the dead corpse army.

Under Jiang Fan’s control.

The three puppets suddenly attacked.

They targeted a small demon beast that, in life, seemed to have been in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Each grabbed a leg of the small demon beast, lifting it as if they were slaughtering a pig, and quickly ran back.

Wu Manyue kept a close eye on the movements of the dead corpse army.

Her heart was in her throat.

She silently prayed the dead corpse army wouldn’t notice.

Otherwise…

Fortunately.

These dead corpse army had no Spiritual Wisdom.

One companion was taken, and they had no reaction.

Before long.

The three puppets returned.

The small demon beast, though in the Foundation Establishment Realm, was small only compared to mountain-like adult demon beasts.

Its body was as large as a woodshed.

Pinned to the ground by the three puppets, it kept kicking its legs.

Its rotten body, reduced to just bones and a few decayed organs, struggled violently.

Its mouth opened wide, trying to roar.

Luckily, its throat had long rotted away.

Otherwise, it would have already attracted the attention of the dead corpse army.

“Let’s go!”

Jiang Fan decisively said.

Not alerting the dead corpse army was the best outcome.

So.

He grabbed Wu Manyue.

The three puppets carried the dead corpse demon beast.

Both parties immediately sped back the way they came.

Just as they started moving.

Jiang Fan suddenly sensed.

An extremely subtle soul fluctuation radiated from the center of the dead corpse army.

He was shocked.

Without a doubt.

Their actions had been discovered.

His mind momentarily panicked.

The worst outcome had happened!

The radiating soul fluctuation felt like a scan.

It swept over Jiang Fan and the others, immediately locking onto them.

Then.

A soul power that made Jiang Fan’s hair stand on end suddenly attacked from afar.

“Soul Attack?”

Jiang Fan took a sharp breath.

The demon priest could also perform a soul secret technique like him?

He knew well the power of this technique.

How could he dare to take it head-on?

Without hesitation, he commanded a puppet to shield himself and Wu Manyue.

In the next moment!

The puppet’s eyes rolled back, dead without even a groan, its soul completely destroyed.

It died instantly!

One of the black flags shattered with a crack!

Fortunately, Jiang Fan was prepared, rolling up his sleeve to dissolve the blast shockwave.

Even so, his arm was covered in shallow wounds from the explosion.

Jiang Fan’s eyes flashed with anger.

“Soul attack, is it?”

“Then you should try mine!”

A materialized spike shot out from his forehead, following the origin of the soul attack, and fiercely pierced forward.

“Ah!!”

Faintly, a young girl’s agonizing scream was heard.

The marching dead corpse army suddenly plunged into chaos.

The ones behind toppled those in front, and those in front twisted around to fight those behind.

It was clear.

Jiang Fan had successfully injured the enemy’s soul.

Unfortunately, the enemy’s soul was very strong and seemed only to be harmed.

Unable to destroy this likely priest’s existence.

“What happened? Why did we lose a puppet?”

Wu Manyue looked heartbroken at the dead puppet, full of complaints.

She still didn’t know.

Just now, a battle of souls had taken place.

Jiang Fan’s eyes rolled.

Handed the remaining two black flags to her, he said, “Senior Sister Wu, thank you for lending your puppets this time.”

“Now that we’ve caught the target, I’ll return them to you.”

Using a puppet to block just now.

The enemy must have sensed the puppet’s aura.

If they give chase, they’ll most likely follow the puppet’s aura.

So, better to return this hot potato to the original owner.

Huh?

Wu Manyue was greatly surprised.

She couldn’t believe such a good thing existed in the world?

“Are you really returning them to me?”

Wu Manyue looked skeptical.

Jiang Fan directly stuffed the two black flags into her arms, saying:

“My master taught me from a young age to act as a gentleman and avoid petty ambitions.”

“Today, for the Human Clan’s great cause, I reluctantly took your array flags, already against my master’s teachings.”

“How dare I continue to keep them?”

“I apologize for any offense caused; I hope you can forgive me.”

Wu Manyue opened her mouth.

She was a bit shocked.

This disciple of the Nine-Sect was brought up with such education?

She even admired Jiang Fan’s character a bit.

The current Martial Path Realm still had such gentlemanly spirit.

He was truly a breath of fresh air.

She glanced at Jiang Fan with a softer expression.

But only just that.

She thought to herself, “The world could use more gentlemen like you.”

“Otherwise, with people as smart and cunning as me, how else could we gain an advantage?”

She accepted the two black flags, saying, “Alright, Senior Sister forgives you.”

“We are all contributing to the safety of the Human Clan; although one flag is broken, it’s worth it.”

Her eyes turned to his, and she said, “Continue to carry me, Senior Sister, for a while longer.”

“When you are out of spiritual power, Senior Sister will carry you!”

This return trip would take two hours.

She needed to save her spiritual power for the final moment.

If Jiang Fan ran out of spiritual power.

Then let him wait for death.

Wu Manyue wouldn’t care.

But at this moment!

The dead corpse army became disordered.

A strong and incomparable presence emanated from the center of the dead corpse army.

Accompanied by a sharp scream.

“You’re courting death!”

The injured priest was infuriated.

A series of shadows darted out of the dead corpse army, rushing at them!

“Ninth Layer of Core Formation?” Wu Manyue was scared out of her wits.

The demon clan expert controlling the dead corpse army was at such a high level!

Jiang Fan’s face changed, saying, “Senior Sister Wu, let’s split up and run!”

“I’ll keep the dead corpse.”

“Don’t worry about me, run by yourself!”

What?

Such a good deal?

Their pursuer would clearly lock onto the dead corpse’s aura.

She agreed without hesitation: “Okay!”

“We’ll meet at Boundary Mountain.”

She no longer disguised, taking out a magic artifact.

It was a container similar to a small boat.

She jumped on and infused it with spiritual power, making the boat swiftly glide over the snow.

Its speed was not slower than Jiang Fan’s movement technique!

She turned and showed a sly smile: “Senior Sister forgot, I had this magic artifact.”

“Don’t blame me for not telling you.”

“I didn’t do it on purpose.”

Huh!

Knew this woman wasn’t simple.

He used his movement technique, catching up with her, running parallel.

He said meaningfully, “I don’t blame you, Senior Sister.”

“I hope you don’t blame me either.”
