Hell Emperor.

Chapter 539 Ye Jie - Fight Again
"What's wrong? What did you find?"

Noticing the change in Ye Jie's facial expression, from great joy to disappointment, Li Fei'e also saw his change in mood and couldn't help but ask.

Ye Jie smiled bitterly: "It's hard to get this year's document book for myself, but I can't use the power in it. It's a bit frustrating."

Li Fei'e felt the same way: "The annual document book... I heard that if you don't know how to use those document artifacts, you can only read them as a book. But if you know how to use them, they will definitely produce unexpected results."

Ye Jie nodded, agreeing with her.

Just like the Book of Life and Death, if it were obtained by outsiders, they would only know how to use the Book of Life and Death to view the files of all living beings, but would not know how to make changes themselves. This would be a waste of resources and would bury the true power of the artifact.

The annual document in front of him is a divine weapon held by the Four Guardians, and its effect is also extraordinary. However, in Ye Jie's hands, it is no different from an ordinary book. If he wants to truly understand the mystery contained in it, he will probably have to go through a very long process of exploration.

After confirming that, except for the annual document book, the seals on the other magic weapons were unbreakable, Ye Jie gave up the idea of ​​continuing to try and spoke instead:
"We have found the Thousand Lives Blood Silk that was stolen from the founder of the Xuannv Sect. Not only that, we have also found the whereabouts of the Golden Phoebe King. There is nothing else here. I am afraid that it will not be of much use if we continue to stay here. I think it is time to leave this place."

Li Fei'e understood that this place was covered by a formation and even the communication talisman could not be sent out. She and Ye Jie were fine, but if they stayed for too long and Yunxiu's fasting pills were all eaten up, things would be bad. They had to make an attempt.

However, Li Fei'e was still a little hesitant:

"There is a corrupted corpse dragon lurking outside the treasure hiding place. If we show our heads, we will be attacked by it. It will be extremely difficult to escape... What should we do? Do you have any idea?"

Ye Jie took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and felt the overflowing power: "Thanks to the Six Harmonies Treasure Mirror stolen by Snake Eyes, I am now much stronger than before. Even if I face the Corrupted Corpse Dragon, I am not powerless to fight. When the restriction is lifted, I will fight it, and you can take the opportunity to escape."

Li Fei'e pursed her lips and said, "Do you want me to run away? What if you can't defeat the corpse dragon? Just now, it almost killed you..."

Ye Jie just said: "You are going to become Master's person, think about Yunxiu, can you bear to let her die here? If I can't defeat the corpse dragon, you can't do anything even if you stay, you will only be buried here in vain, and there will be more corpses buried in this rotten swamp."

Li Fei'e lowered her shoulders with a look of disappointment. She also understood that what Ye Jie said was right. With her and Yun Xiu's strength, they could do nothing in front of the corrupted corpse dragon. Even if they attacked with all their strength, they could not hurt the corpse dragon at all. Staying here would only cause trouble in vain.

Li Fei'e stared at Ye Jie, as if she wanted to remember his appearance in her heart. Since she reunited with Ye Jie, she seemed to have found her former self. She was happier than when she had practiced hard in Jingyue Cave for thirty years. She didn't expect that the separation at this moment would come so suddenly.

"Nothing can happen to you... You must come back alive from the zombie dragon's hands."

She clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white, and finally turned her head away in resignation, not wanting Ye Jie to see the tears in her eyes.

"I will……"

Ye Jie was not very confident. When he thought about the power of the Corrupted Corpse Dragon in the middle stage of the sixth transformation and its ability to become virtual, he felt that even the Tiangang Bombardment he had just learned might not be enough to ensure victory. Let alone killing the Corrupted Corpse Dragon, even if he could save his life, it would be a blessing.

At one side, Yunxiu also felt the solemn atmosphere. The dull feeling of impending storm made her back tremble. Even breathing became extremely difficult, as if she would fall into an irretrievable situation if she took a wrong step.

Everyone walked out of the treasure hiding place and came to the edge of the restriction. The light nearby was dim, and the swamp that had been split apart by a sword had closed again, making it impossible to see where the corrupted corpse dragon was.

Not being able to see the enemy's position clearly did not make everyone relax, but made them more alert. It meant that threats were everywhere and the enemy could attack from the dark at any time, making it impossible to defend against.

Ye Jie had a stern look on his face. He was holding the indigo-blue Guiming Sword that he had obtained from the treasure house in his palm. Even though the Guiming Sword was still sealed and could not exert its true power, but with the material of a second-grade divine weapon, he could still use it as a sharp sword that would not break.

After making a plan, Ye Jie did not hesitate and easily opened the barrier from the inside. Without waiting for the rotten water above to fall, he immediately swung his sword.

The power of the Wild Waves and Sea-Dividing Sword was activated again, and the magnificent sword energy split the swamp, leaving a ten-foot-wide sword mark in the center of the swamp. There seemed to be invisible arms on both sides, lifting up the rotten water filled with corpses, and opening up a path for everyone to move forward.

A sharp roar sounded from afar, and the meaning conveyed in it made Ye Jie change color. The corrupted corpse dragon had already noticed that everyone had escaped, and was attacking them at a rapid speed.

"You guys leave quickly!"

With a flash of divine light, the dragon-patterned Tiangang Black Armor enveloped Ye Jie's body. Five balls of light quickly surrounded him from behind, showing how anxious Ye Jie was at the moment.

Li Fei'e had made up his mind long ago. He pulled Yunxiu up into the sky and was about to fly to the ninth heaven to avoid this place far away.

The gloomy shadow broke through the swamp, revealing its fangs. The murderous intent it exuded alone was forged from countless dead bones buried there. That aura was enough to frighten those with less strength on the spot, and they would not even think of fighting against it.

Li Fei'e was horrified as the murderous intent roared towards her. The corpse dragon noticed her attempt to escape, and its pale body covered with bone spurs rose into the air, like a giant maggot, and attacked her, ready to keep her forever!

"Where are you going? Your opponent is me!"

At this moment, a whisper was heard, and the corpse dragon's flying movement suddenly stopped. Its body seemed to be frozen. It turned back suddenly, no longer caring about the escaping Li Fei'e. The only thing reflected in its bloodthirsty snake eyes was Ye Jie's appearance.

Below, Ye Jie slowly raised his hand, and five light balls expanded rapidly, from the original size of a bronze mirror to the size of a water tank. Each one was shaking rapidly, as if something was about to come out. The Tiangang bombardment was brewing, and the power in it was so great that even the corrupted corpse dragon was slightly nervous, and had to be on high alert. Seeing the corpse dragon change its target, Li Fei'e couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took Yunxiu farther and farther: "Is it safe... Looking at the posture of the corpse dragon, it is clearly alert when encountering danger. It seems that Brother Jie's gains just now are extraordinary. Maybe even the corpse dragon can be defeated!"

Thinking of this, Li Fei'e looked excited. Along the way, Ye Jie had already given her too many surprises, some of which could even be described as miracles. It seemed that no matter what happened to Ye Jie, it was not strange. She immediately slowed down her flying speed, restrained her breath, and hid herself to check the outcome of the battle.

The bright light, the energy of the Heavenly Gang that could drive away evil spirits, was condensed by Ye Jie into the purest bombardment, which cut a stream of light across the sky and bombarded the body of the corpse dragon.

There was only a shrill wail. Even though the corpse dragon had turned into an intangible being, it could not escape the pure Tiangang force. For a moment, the light was so bright that the Tiangang force controlled by the Yang God was pushed to the extreme by Ye Jie. In the grand light, the body of the corpse dragon collapsed from the middle and broke into two pieces!
"Success!"

Seeing this scene, both Ye Jie and Li Fei'e felt sincerely happy.

"Is this the power of the Tiangang Bombardment... It is worthy of being the strongest killing move that can only be unleashed by the Five-sided Six-in-One Treasure Mirror!"

Ye Jie nodded with satisfaction. After this battle, he was able to confirm that his most powerful killing move at the moment was none other than the Tiangang Bombardment.

The Tiangang Bombardment, which already possesses such power that it can shatter the body of a sixth-stage mid-stage immortal in one blow, is not the limit of this move. If Ye Jie collects more Liuhe Treasure Mirrors, he can continue to increase the power of the move and even be able to fight against a seventh-stage immortal!
However, several low growls coming from afar made Ye Jie's heart sink. He looked in the direction of the sound and his pupils suddenly shrank.

However, the dragon corpse that had its body broken and fallen into the swamp had now crawled up again. Not only that, even the broken back half of its body had also crawled up. The broken part healed rapidly, and a ferocious snake head grew out of it again. Its eyes were filled with hatred, and it wanted to devour Ye Jie as soon as possible.

"This is terrible... I never thought that the corpse dragon had such a trick up its sleeve. Even if its body was broken, it could still split into two..."

Ye Jie gritted his teeth secretly. The difficulty of dealing with the corpse dragon was really beyond his expectations. This was really trouble!
A ghostly aura flashed by, and two corpse dragons attacked Ye Jie together. The one rushing in the front was a corpse dragon that was covered in mist and looked translucent.

The Tiangang bombardment was not without effect. The realm of the two corpse dragons in front of them had dropped from the middle stage of the sixth revolution to the early stage of the sixth revolution. Although there was only a small realm difference, even these two broken corpse dragons combined were not as good as the corpse dragon in its previous prime state.

Even so, the early stage of the sixth transformation is still not a realm that Ye Jie can contend with at the moment. It is equivalent to facing the siege of two Pan Tianqi Zuns at the same time. The pressure can be imagined. With the Divine Dragon Transformation at the Hongmeng level, I am afraid that he will be defeated after a few head-on confrontations.

The transparent corpse dragon swept past. Ye Jie didn't dare to get away, so he started to use the Divine Dragon Transformation, using the ability to transform into a snake, and then changed his body into the virtual form of the corpse dragon, preparing to dodge the attack.

However, this time, Ye Jie miscalculated. The translucent tail lashed out and hit Ye Jie's body directly. This single blow completely shattered the Tiangang Xuanjia. If there had been no protection from the Xuanjia, Ye Jie would probably not have had a good end.

The black armor was broken, and Ye Jie released the divine evil impact in time, causing the two corpse dragons to be fixed in place, losing control of their minds and struggling wildly. This is how he narrowly escaped the disaster. Otherwise, under the siege of the two corpse dragons, he would have been defeated at an unimaginable speed.

"Do not……"

In mid-air, Li Fei'e saw this scene and felt indescribable pain in his heart. He thought the situation was settled and victory was in his grasp, but he never thought that the corpse dragon actually had such ability.

The destruction of the Tiangang Xuanjia bought Ye Jie five breaths of time. During these five breaths, he would not suffer any injuries, but it was far from enough for him to escape. Once the five breaths were over, he would be caught up by the corpse dragon again. Only by counterattacking would he have a chance of survival.

A golden stream of light flashed by, and the Golden Dragon Shears, as controlled by Ye Jie, rushed straight towards the corpse dragon in the distance.

With his keen observation, Ye Jie also discovered the problem. As the body of the corrupted corpse dragon broke, its two halves evolved into two completely different corpse dragons. One of them was virtual, and its body always remained in a virtual state, while the other was real and seemed to still have an immortal body.

The one that just attacked Ye Jie was the virtual corpse dragon. The attack of the virtual corpse dragon could also hurt Ye Jie after he became a virtual person. Ye Jie didn't know this before, so he was fooled. By the same token, Ye Jie's attack should also be able to hurt the physical corpse dragon!
The light of the Golden Dragon Shears flashed by, and the final result made Ye Jie's heart sank. The two corpse dragons also sensed the danger and exchanged reality at this moment. In front of the Golden Dragon Shears, the real corpse dragon became virtual, while the other one became real.

The golden shears that cut through everything were unable to harm the body after it turned into an ethereal form. Ye Jie's attack failed this time, but he was not discouraged because he saw the hope of winning!

"As expected, this corpse dragon follows the path of illusion and reality. Where there is illusion, there must be reality, and where there is reality, there must be illusion. It is impossible for it to have both sides of its body be either illusion or reality at the same time... In other words, as long as we attack both sides at the same time, we will have a chance to kill it here!"

This discovery made Ye Jie's eyes light up. The hope of victory was right in front of him, but the conditions for achieving it were extremely harsh.

If Ye Jie could control the Golden Dragon Shears and launch the Tiangang Bombardment at the same time, he might have a chance to attack the two corpse dragons at the same time and win. However, the Tiangang Bombardment can only be launched once a day, and Ye Jie has already used it now, and can't find any other means to harm the corpse dragon that is in the early sixth stage.

The corpse dragons would not let Ye Jie go just like that. Under the alternating attacks of the two corpse dragons, Ye Jie was in terribly pain for a while. Without the protection of the Tiangang Xuanjia, he was in danger of dying at any time.

The good news is that Ye Jie has found a way to deal with it. The corpse dragon can switch between reality and illusion, and he can do the same by relying on the dragon to transform into a corpse dragon. He can dodge the attacks of the virtual corpse dragon with his real body, and he can also dodge the attacks of the real corpse dragon by relying on his virtual body. As long as he responds appropriately, he doesn't have to worry about getting hurt.

The bad news was that the two corpse dragons became more and more courageous as the battle went on, and gradually got used to this way of fighting. Their attacks became more and more fierce, and they interspersed real and fake changes in their attacks. Many times, Ye Jie didn't have time to activate his skills and was almost seriously injured.

Another virtual sweep came, and Ye Jie was unable to avoid it. He was just about to penetrate it with a physical object. However, when the sweep was about to hit him, it suddenly turned into a physical object. The power it brought made Ye Jie suddenly frightened!

At the critical moment, a divine thunder descended from the sky and rescued Ye Jie. The divine thunder struck the snake's tail, causing the corpse dragon to feel great pain. Ye Jie turned around and saw Li Fei'e hanging on the sky, his clothes fluttering, and he raised his fingers to make a gesture.
