Chapter 106: Possession by a Remnant Soul

The demon snake's body was slowly surrounded by two eerie masses of black and white Qi; in the very instant the Array collapsed, its body had already grown more than twice its original size.

Zhang Nuo swept his gaze outside the shattered Array and saw three Nanxuan Sect disciples who had been setting up the Array lying on the ground; his heart immediately turned cold. Judging by the way they lay on the ground, they must have died from a sneak attack by someone else.

In such a remote place, and so close to the "Dark Swamp," who would come here? According to what Zhuge Qing had said before, did anyone in the Four Great Sects even know that there was a two-headed snake in the "Dark Swamp"?

The same scene fell into the eyes of the young girl. At this moment, it was not just the demon snake's transformation that shocked her; it was the fact that someone had destroyed the "Small Six Paths Sumeru Array" that made her furious!

With her Divine Sense fully expanded, Zhuge Qing began to search for the remaining three disciples who had set up the Array! As her dark brows twitched violently, she actually discovered a massive Spiritual Pressure. This Spiritual Pressure was another terrifying presence, aside from the demon snake that was currently growing stronger. Through the fluctuations of the Spiritual Pressure, the young girl felt a somewhat familiar scent, yet for a moment, she could not recall who it was!

Just at this moment, the demon snake suddenly rolled its eyes, as if its cultivation had recovered to its peak. Suddenly, with a light hiss, two masses of flame-like gas—one black and one white—emerged in its left and right hands respectively! These two masses of gas soared upwards, and even the Spirit Power around the demon snake began to grow unstable.

The black Qi and white Qi were each over half a zhang high, and being held in its palms, they were particularly eye-catching! Seeing this scene, the four of them could not help but retreat several steps involuntarily.

The powerful Spiritual Pressure emanating from the two masses of gas made it almost impossible for the four people closest to the demon snake to catch their breath!

"Kid Zhang! Run!"

In Zhang Nuo's mind, the voice of Chunyangzi from within the "Nine Dragon Sword Case" suddenly rang out!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Nuo was first startled. This strand of Remnant Soul of Chunyangzi inside the Sword Box had not made a sound for a long time, and now, the moment it spoke, it was a warning.

However, Chunyangzi had used the method of Sound Transmission to speak to Zhang Nuo, so the other three could not hear it at all. Upon hearing the voice, Zhang Nuo immediately flew backward.

Although the others did not know what had happened, the black and white Qi between the demon snake's hands was too eerie and certainly not an ordinary thing; especially after Zhang Nuo had severed the black snake head, the four of them had forged a deep enmity with the demon snake.

Now that the opponent's cultivation had recovered, it would certainly show no mercy in its attacks!

The four of them did not have time to think and quickly fled. The demon snake did not even look at them; the black and white Qi in its two hands merged together violently. In an instant, the sound of "crackling" was incessant. The black and white Qi seemed to be biting at each other, neither willing to show weakness. The unstable Spirit Power fluctuations could be clearly sensed even by Zhang Nuo and the others as they fled.

However, the fusion of the black and white Qi was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, the two streams of Qi merged together, and a black and white sphere the size of a fist appeared in front of the white snake head.

On the sphere, faint black and white Qi continuously swirled; looking from afar, it was as if steaming flames were burning on the sphere!

With a flash of its gaze, the demon snake looked in the direction where Zhang Nuo was fleeing, and a chilling murderous intent rose abruptly!

"Whoosh!"

As the demon snake's gaze turned toward Zhang Nuo, the black sphere in front of it vanished in a flash. Zhang Nuo had been using his Divine Sense to monitor the demon snake's movements behind him! Suddenly discovering that the sphere had disappeared, his heart instantly turned cold!

"Don't think! Run!"

Inside the Sword Box, Chunyangzi's voice came again. Do not underestimate Chunyangzi just because he was only a strand of Remnant Soul; his own strength was not to be overlooked. Although he was currently in a Remnant Soul state, his keen insight was far beyond what Zhang Nuo possessed!

Zhang Nuo also knew things were bad. Just as he was about to flee with all his might, the space in front of him fluctuated, and the black sphere that had previously vanished in front of the demon snake suddenly appeared before him. At the same time, the sphere gave Zhang Nuo no time to hesitate and charged toward him in a flash.

Zhang Nuo had been focused on fleeing forward, and his speed was already astonishing. He had not expected the sphere to appear so eerily in front of him, and his expression changed drastically. At such a close distance, coupled with the eerie nature of the sphere's attack, it was impossible for him to dodge it with his current strength!

His heart went completely cold. Zhang Nuo clearly saw the attack but could not dodge it! At the same time, Zhuge Qing and the others also saw this scene! While feeling greatly shocked, they all felt a trace of pity; if the opponent had not been the demon snake, perhaps Zhang Nuo would not have fallen like this!

A Dual Spirit Sea Cultivator, before he had even unleashed his vast brilliance, was about to die at the hands of the demon snake! But an unexpected scene occurred!

Deep within the pupils of Zhang Nuo's eyes, a figure suddenly flashed. In a mere instant, a powerful and peerless Spiritual Pressure erupted from Zhang Nuo's body. At the same time this Spiritual Pressure appeared, Zhang Nuo, who was about to be struck by the black and white sphere, eerily flashed, leaving behind an afterimage in place, and dodged the sphere's attack!

Not far away, the demon snake's body stiffened, as if its throat had been caught by something, and it stood there blankly for a long time! Not only was the demon snake shocked, but even Zhuge Qing and the others were greatly puzzled.

Given Zhang Nuo's strength, it was impossible for him to dodge at that speed of the sphere's attack. Even if he were a Dual Spirit Sea Cultivator, the Spirit Power within his body could never support such high-speed movement!

Having dodged the attack of the black and white sphere, Zhang Nuo's body stopped in the distance. Although his consciousness was clear at this moment, the tearing pain coming from his body still made him grit his teeth!

"Many thanks for your help, Senior!"

After saying this through Sound Transmission into the Sword Box, Zhang Nuo did not make another sound. The intense pain made it very difficult for him to even move his Divine Sense!

"I just used my Remnant Soul to borrow your body to dodge the sphere's attack, but this state won't last long. First, the life essence remaining in my Remnant Soul power is insufficient! Second, your cultivation is too low! Alright, I've helped you dodge one disaster, the rest is up to you!"

Chunyangzi's voice was extremely weak. After saying these two sentences hastily, he retreated back into the Sword Box. The moment Chunyangzi's Remnant Soul withdrew from Zhang Nuo's body, Zhang Nuo suddenly felt his body lighten, and the bloated feeling in his body disappeared significantly. However, the tearing sensation in his body caused by the high-speed movement still remained.

But he also felt that the Spirit Power in his Dual Spirit Sea had been almost completely exhausted by the dodge just now!
