Chapter 1018 The Proud Yin Blade and the Undying Tiger Corpse

The moment Lord Shen drew his weapon, the "Sky-Supporting Staff," the weather changed drastically, and the surrounding area trembled.

The spectacular sight of that towering stone pillar had existed for hundreds of days, and everyone thought it would last forever.

At this moment, Lord Shen's Heaven-Supporting Staff trembled slightly, and the towering stone pillar rose from the ground, breaking through the clouds and disappearing, leaving the place empty.

The barrier separating the East and West disappeared, and the battlefield was laid bare before everyone.

The tiger corpse appeared on the opposite side, and behind him, the most conspicuous thing was the treacherous demon, as well as a group of strange 'celestial maidens'.

"The Yin Blade, it's that Yin Blade!"

The tiger corpse held a steel knife, which terrified all who saw it, reminding them of the two divine weapons from the southern border years ago.

The Sky-Piercing Staff and the Yin Blade swept away the demons and monsters of the Southern Frontier, completely stabilizing the previously elusive Southern Frontier and turning it into a defensive line protecting the southern border.

If the two brothers hadn't turned against each other, the southern border would not be dominated by a single pillar of power, but rather by two heroes standing side by side.

"Brother Tiger, it's been many years, but you're still as dashing as ever!"

Lord Shen spoke calmly, displaying strong control in both his tone and demeanor, without the slightest fluctuation.

Tiger Corpse sneered upon hearing this, "You've aged quite a bit, worrying too much!"

"I have been waiting for this battle for many years. I have been thinking of you every moment. You are the dignified Marquis of Shen, with a high status. I'm afraid you have long forgotten about me, your old friend."

His tone was full of resentment, and his long sword trembled and hummed, like a man-eating tiger ready to pounce.

Lord Shen sighed, “Brother Hu, my heart is set on the world, and the world is too vast for our friendship to exist.”

"I know what you want to say. Marquis Shen has no regrets about Yin Dao's death."

Upon hearing this, the tiger corpse became extremely agitated. "You know that Yin Dao is dead, so what am I? A tiger corpse, a monster grafted onto the body of the Demon King, resurrected through a resentful act of betrayal?"

"Lord Shen, you have the world in your heart, but I don't. Even if I smash the Southern Frontier to pieces today, I will still make you die!"

Thunder rumbled faintly in the sky, like the roar of a thunder tiger, rising and falling in waves.

Tiger Corpse unleashed a lightning bolt, its blade flashing like snowflakes, scattering in all directions, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet.

The climate in southern Xinjiang was originally humid and warm, making it easy for mosquitoes to breed. But after Hu Shi's knife, snow fell in June, and countless frost flowers and snowflakes floated in the air. The ground froze and the rivers were sealed off.

With a single strike, the seasons reversed; this was the Tiger Corpse's supreme Heavenly Sect strength.

Lord Shen's eyebrows were covered in frost, and his lean head appeared larger in the freezing cold, his two protruding ears were red from the cold.

He slammed the Sky-Supporting Staff into the ground, and the sound of ice breaking echoed.

In an instant, spring returned to the earth, the ice and snow melted, the sky was clear and bright, and the severe cold was swept away.

The tiger corpse's blade light was compressed into a corner of the sky, and it was clear to anyone with eyes that Lord Shen was obviously a cut above the rest.

"A demonic aura soars to the heavens!"

A master commented, "The Yin Blade has accumulated too many problems and is gradually drifting further and further away from its end."

The Yin Blade was shrouded in demonic energy, as if a million fierce tigers roared and converged to form a huge demonic head with two heads.

This is the residual power from the Demon King's corpse.

After the tiger's corpse refined the demon king's corpse, it inevitably absorbed the demon king's power, and the two horns became the demon king's most distinctive feature.

When the tiger corpse unleashed its full power, the enormous phantom revealed by the Yin Blade was none other than a tiger demon with two horns on its head and two wings on its back.

Even after the passage of time, the power remaining in the Demon King's corpse is still considerable.

If the tiger corpse can be fully integrated, even if he cannot break through to the Martial Saint realm, only a thin layer of barrier will remain. Therefore, it is clear that Lord Shen is in trouble.

Break! Break! Break!
The Sky-Piercing Staff crashed through the air, creating a series of piercing sounds as it clashed and annihilated the tiger corpse's blade light. Dark cracks appeared everywhere, both in the sky and on the ground, and people were constantly caught in them and disappeared without a trace.

In southern Xinjiang, mountains were blasted flat, creating craters in the ground where underground springs flowed out and formed lakes.

What a magnificent sight!

The southern border is vast and boundless, but at the feet of Tiger Corpse and Lord Shen, it is just a fighting arena where a few rounds can be fought from beginning to end, with the aftershocks of their battles frequently spilling out beyond the border.

Zhou You estimated that the areas near the southern border of Huozhou were probably already in ruins.

Zhou Nanwang had already made preparations in advance, seizing residents from the border area to create a large no-man's-land as a buffer zone for this battle.

This effort was not in vain; otherwise, not only would the losses be enormous, but an astronomical number of lives would have been lost.

"Yin Dao, you've fallen too deep into demonic ways; there's no cure for you!"

Lord Shen struck the tiger corpse on the forehead with his stick, the force traveling from the top of its head through its stomach, sending a trail of smoke and sparks flying.

The tiger's hard bones were struck with the stick until they rang out like a bell, and the tiger corpse roared, "Bullshit!"

The treacherous demon shouted, "Tiger Corpse, what are you hesitating for? Only by completely merging with the Demon King's corpse will you have a chance for revenge!"

This statement provoked a genuine outburst of criticism from the martial arts faction.

"Bullshit! You treacherous demon, if you're willing to be a dog, don't drag others down with you!"

"Yin Dao, you are a renowned master of swordsmanship, how can you disregard the greater good and risk your life for a demon to attack Lord Shen?"

"These demons are not of our kind, we cannot trust them! Quickly pull back from the brink and turn back before it's too late!"

The tiger corpse roared, "That's all bullshit! You think you can make me let go of so many years of hatred with just a few words?"

"Yin Dao is dead, I am Hu Shi, disregarding the overall situation of the world, I am deliberately making things difficult for Lord Shen."

"Watch closely, I'm going to plunge this knife into Marquis Shen's chest."

As he spoke, his demonic aura surged, shaking the mountains and rivers and causing the ground to bulge, as if a huge beast had awakened from its slumber and was eager to break through the earth.

Boom boom boom!
The sound of a heartbeat, from nothing to something, from faint to strong, resounded in everyone's ears.

"The Demon King has been born!"

"Oh no! The Demon King's lingering remnant spirit wants to be reborn by possessing another body. The tiger corpse has been tricked. The treacherous demon is plotting against him, using him as nourishment."

The fallen demon king's corpse was a packet of seeds wrapped as bait. After the tiger's corpse swallowed it, its body became a breeding ground for incubation. Now, its obsession runs too deep; murderous intent and hatred have clouded its reason, and the demon king is about to seize the opportunity to revive.

Analysis from all directions surged in like a tidal wave.

The tiger corpse remained oblivious, as if its senses had failed it, allowing its internal power to increase steadily. The heartbeat emanating from the ground beneath its feet grew stronger and stronger, causing even the mighty golden body to develop fine cracks.

"Tiger Corpse is not so easily fooled."

Zhou You pressed his hand to his wildly pounding heart. The situation seemed intense and volatile at the moment, but there was always a chance for a reversal.

The once-stunning Yin Dao, now the resurgent Hu Shi, is not a brute who only seeks to kill, but a genius with an extremely proud and arrogant heart.

Throughout his life, he pursued one thing: proving his own existence.

Therefore, Yin Dao will die, but he will not fall into depravity, nor will he fall into the schemes of wicked people and become their henchman.

Whether it was a misperception or not, the moment these thoughts crossed Zhou You's mind, a relieved smile appeared on Tiger Corpse's lips.
