"You... pfft!"

Upon seeing the two broken halves of the shattered sword on the ground, the old specter, Xuan You, immediately spat a mouthful of old blood.

This was both because the flying sword, which he had refined and was linked to his mind, had its divine thought imprint destroyed.

And also because his heart ached enough to make him vomit blood!

A magical artifact he had spent over a decade painstakingly planning and had just sacrificed successfully, although not completely, could always be remedied in the future.

Who would have thought that now it would be destroyed by Chen Qi's Yin Thunder Pearl!

My White Bone Yin Demon Sword!

At this moment, Chen Qi's breath grew even weaker, his back hunched, and the wrinkles on his face deepened as he gasped for breath, appearing old and frail.

Anyone could see that he was gravely depleted at this point, with almost all of his cultivation likely exhausted.

However, Chen Qi's pair of murky old eyes shone with a light they had never shown before:

"Xuan You old devil, for all these years, there hasn't been a day I didn't think of you!"

"Thanks to you, this old man, who once had the potential for sainthood, became a cripple, with past glory lost, friends and relatives kept at a distance, honors gone, experiencing all kinds of hardship, and losing everything!"

Chen Qi's voice was exceptionally calm, yet precisely because of this calmness, it stirred a hint of unease within Xuan You.

Chen Qi revealed a peculiar smile: "Fortunately, now I can finally take it all back..."

Take it back?

Xuan You was taken aback.

How could these things be taken back?

While he was in a daze, Chen Qi's entire body collapsed to the ground.

The body decayed and withered rapidly before his eyes, turning into a pile of dark ash.

He's actually dead?!

Xuan You was even more puzzled.

Gu Yuan was also stunned.

No way, Chen Qi actually died just like that?!

Then what about the latter part of my Profound Turtle Armor Technique?

And, what about the True Daoist Technique you promised me?

However, right at this moment, a black light flew out from the pile of ashes, shooting straight towards Xuan You.

This black light had an eerie aura and an incredibly fast speed, reaching Xuan You almost in the blink of an eye.

What kind of person was Xuan You? How could this unknown ghostly thing get close to him?!

He raised his hand and a jet of green fire flew out.

This green flame was sinister, without a trace of heat, instead chilling to the bone, with an evil aura!

Xuan You could naturally tell that this black light was likely Chen Qi's soul, and souls feared Yin Flame the most.

Chen Qi still wanted to cause trouble even after death, so let's make his death more complete!

The green ghostly flame covered the black light, but in the next moment, the ghostly fire melted away like snow in the sunshine, and the black light surged into Xuan You's body.

"Ah?!"

Xuan You felt as if struck by lightning, extremely surprised, his body shook violently as if electrified, with veins bulging on his forehead, his face suddenly twisted and ferocious, like a malicious ghost.

"Chen, you... you actually want to possess my body, you must be dreaming! This is impossible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his expression changed, a bizarre cold smile appeared, and he spoke in another person's voice: "Possession is indeed impossible, but who said I was going to possess you?!"

The voice was clearly Chen Qi's!

At this moment, "Chen Qi" looked towards Gu Yuan's direction: "Gu Yuan, hurry over, help me kill off this old wretch!"

"What, there's someone else!"

Xuan You was quite surprised and shocked, struggling desperately, trying to react, but because his body was restrained by Chen Qi, he could not move.

Soon after, he saw a handsome young man with a sword walk out from behind a huge stone.

"Chen Qi, what exactly do you want to do?"

Gu Yuan looked at Xuan You or Chen Qi with a complicated expression.

He had thought Chen Qi sought revenge, but now it seemed this old guy clearly had other purposes.

"Gu Yuan, I don't have time to explain now, but as long as you do as I say, I will give you a satisfactory answer afterwards, and all the things I promised you before will be given to you in full!"

"Chen Qi" sounded somewhat urgent, yet still quite calm:

"Now, unsheath your sword and pierce this old devil's heart!"

"Alright!"

Gu Yuan was also decisive by nature, knowing that what was needed now was determination and not hesitation!

Clang!

The radiant sword light flew out of the scabbard, turning into a streaming brilliance, filled with boundless sharpness and edge.

Under the complex gaze filled with anticipation, excitement, thrill, as well as resentment, hatred, and fear in Xuan You's eyes, it pierced his heart with a thud!

The sword light was sharp and sinister, and the erupting spiral force even shredded his heart into pieces, creating a blood hole the size of a teacup.

Celestial Human Realm cultivators have a strong life force, but the heart is still one of the greatest weaknesses!

With a shattered heart, a person would still die!

Of course, an ordinary person with a shattered heart would die immediately on the spot, a Celestial Human Realm cultivator could at least hold on for a while.

If there are those cultivators with strange means, like using true qi to simulate the heart, or divine techniques to suppress life, it wouldn't be surprising to survive for a few days.

Yet Xuan You absolutely did not include such people!

"Chen Qi, in the end, I am still defeated by you..."

Xuan You stared intently at Gu Yuan, he opened his mouth, eyes dimming, letting out a final sigh, his aura also declining.

"Rest assured, your body, your memory, your past, everything belonging to you, will be gladly accepted by me!"

The next moment, Chen Qi's voice came from Xuan You's body.

Simultaneously, a dark light emerged from Xuan You's body, enveloping him entirely.

This black light was sinister and tyrannical, deeply demonic, filled with a chilling, weird aura that instilled fear.

Under this black light, Xuan You's body crackled, as if his bones and muscles were undergoing some changes.

His appearance, physique also elongated, deformed, undergoing some kind of transformation.

Even those serious wounds exposing bones on his body, and the blood hole in his chest were rapidly regenerating flesh and healing under the black light.

Watching this bizarre scene, Gu Yuan gripped the Qiushui Sword tightly and remained on guard, secretly instructing Ah Huang and Ah Wu to prepare to act.

This scene was too strange not to be cautious.

Not long after, when the black light dispersed, a handsome middle-aged man appeared in front of Gu Yuan.

This person was tall and slender, with an extraordinary demeanor.

Especially with an appearance that gave Gu Yuan an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Upon closer inspection, if this person were older, thinner, with more wrinkles, less hair, he would clearly resemble Chen Qi!

But this body was previously clearly the corpse of Xuan You!

To change heads, transforming one person's body into another's appearance, and replacing the soul inside... such a means, how eerie!

Gu Yuan felt a chill rising in his heart.
