74: A person who has been reborn through possession? Haha, me too.

By the side of the lake, the scent of blood and that cold, indifferent female voice permeated the air together.

Blood Soul's eyes, originally filled with cruelty and mockery, suddenly narrowed when he saw the figure in white slowly walking out from the shadows of the coral forest!

"Ye Feiyan?"

He frowned slightly, his heart filled with uncertainty and suspicion.

Of course he knew Ye Feiyan; on the Sect's must-kill list, this woman ranked eighth!

However... how did she find this place?

Moreover, looking at her composed demeanor, it was clear she had sought him out on her own initiative and had precisely locked onto his location!

Blood Soul pondered in his heart.

He was a meticulous person, and in a flash, he quickly thought of a possibility!

"soul fixing disk..." He said slowly, his voice having become extremely gloomy, "Those two pieces of trash, Blood Soul and Blood Overlord, not only died, but even the Sect's secret treasure fell into your hands?"

"Correct."

Faced with his inquiry, Ye Feiyan spoke frankly, her cold phoenix eyes filled with the indifference one might show toward a dead person.

"I killed them both."

Hearing this crisp and neat admission, Blood Soul was stunned for a moment, then, he actually laughed in extreme anger.

"Heh... interesting, truly interesting."

He looked at Ye Feiyan, as if admiring an interesting collection piece.

"It seems the prey actually hopes to transform into the hunter."

"You sought this place out on your own initiative; surely, it is also to kill me, right?"

Ye Feiyan did not deny it; her trip here was indeed to slaughter all the Golden Core Cultivators of the Blood Fiend Sect!

"Hehehehe..." Blood Soul emitted a mocking laugh like a night owl, "Just because you killed two pieces of trash whose Golden Core hadn't even fully stabilized, does that give you such immense confidence?"

"Little girl, you are far too dismissive of a Golden Core True Person!"

The moment his voice fell, he moved!

Boom!

A terrifying pressure, also belonging to the Early Golden Core Stage but filled with endless bloodthirst and Evil Qi, erupted from his body!

His entire person transformed into a blood-colored afterimage, ferociously attacking Ye Feiyan!

However, facing this thunderous strike, Ye Feiyan didn't even lift an eyelid!

It wasn't until the blood shadow was about to reach her that she slowly raised her hand and met it with a palm strike!

Bang—!!!

The two palms collided, erupting with a dull, thunderous roar!

The violent energy forced the water surface of the entire lake down by several feet!

After the strike, both of them were simultaneously sent flying dozens of zhang backward, tied in this contest of pure strength!

"You have some skill."

Blood Soul's voice rang out, and immediately after, he pressed forward again, Spiritual Qi of a blood color wrapping around his body as he attacked Ye Feiyan.

Ye Feiyan was utterly unafraid, holding her long sword, she counterattacked.

In an instant, the two were locked in battle.

White and red, two different types of magical power, erupted with violent sounds with every collision.

The area around the lake became devastated in their fierce battle, with not a single intact spot left.

After another clash of moves, the two pulled apart again, both forced back dozens of meters by each other.

"Hm?!"

After steadying her form, for the first time, a trace of genuine surprise appeared in Ye Feiyan's cold phoenix eyes!

She was an Empress Reborn!

She had walked the path of the unique, eternal "Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment"!

Now, she was at the status of a Golden Core, and she believed that within the same realm, she could be invincible!

But this Blood Soul before her... his strength was actually not the slightest bit weaker than her own?!

This guy... really has some skill.

And more shocked than her was Blood Soul!

Who was he?

He was a Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Blood Fiend Sect who had lived for nearly a thousand years!

However, in a great battle a hundred years ago, his Physical Body was destroyed, and his Divine Soul suffered heavy damage, forcing him to undergo Possession of a Genius Disciple's Physical Body within the Sect, living on with the brand-new identity of "Blood Soul" and surviving for another lifetime!

He also believed that in the Golden Core Realm, he was an invincible existence!

But now, he couldn't even handle a little girl who had just achieved a Golden Core Breakthrough not long ago?!

"No wonder..." He steadied his form, and for the first time, a look of gravity appeared in his sinister eyes, "No wonder you could kill those two pieces of trash, Blood Soul and Blood Overlord. You little girl, you indeed have some skill!"

"However, it is a pity that you met me!"

Following that, he formed seals with both hands and began chanting!

"Blood Dao, Senluo!"

Hum—!

Circles of blood-colored runes filled with eeriness and ominousness instantly permeated from his body, spreading crazily toward the surroundings like ripples!

That aura of Evil Qi, fierce to the extreme, soared into the sky!

In the blink of an eye, the riverside, which had originally been picturesque, was completely rendered into a blood-colored space filled with endless resentment and slaughter!

Looking at this earth-shaking change, Ye Feiyan's cold phoenix eyes suddenly narrowed!

She finally understood.

"This is not a spell, nor is it a Divine Ability..." She said slowly, her voice filled with endless coldness, "This is... the Law of the 'Dao'!"

"You are not a Golden Core Realm Cultivator!"

"At the very least, you are a… Possessor who has once stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm!"

Hearing these words, Blood Soul's face, which had been full of a ferocious grin, instantly froze!

He was completely shocked!

He never imagined that his greatest secret would be exposed in a single sentence by a mere yellow-haired girl at the Early Golden Core Stage!

Since things had reached this point, he couldn't be bothered to pretend anymore.

"Jiejiejie..." He let out a ghost-like, strange laugh filled with triumph and cruelty, "Not bad! Not bad!"

"Little girl, your discernment is far beyond this old man's imagination!"

He no longer concealed it, and his turbid eyes were instantly filled with an aura belonging to a Nascent Soul old monster—vicissitudinous and violent!

"This old man is precisely the Blood Fiend Sect's Nascent Soul Ancestor, Blood Soul!"

After finishing, he grinned ferociously, looking at Ye Feiyan, as if he had already seen her wonderful expression about to be swallowed by endless fear and despair.

"How is it?", "Are you in despair?"

However...

The scene he imagined, of her being flustered and terrified to the point of her liver and gallbladder splitting, did not appear at all.

Instead, the peerlessly beautiful woman in white as snow, after hearing his earth-shattering confession, actually... exchanged a smile with the little black snake on her shoulder that had not moved this whole time.

That smile was filled with endless... strangeness and... mockery?

"Nascent Soul Ancestor, Possession and Rebirth?", "Heh..."

Ye Feiyan parted her vermilion lips slightly, her voice filled with a playful tone that made even the Nascent Soul Ancestor feel his scalp tingle.

"Unfortunately. I am too."
