215: Ling Tianhou, the battle of souls!

"Marquis Ling Tian!"

"How dare you counterattack This Lord at this moment!"

"Ah..."

In the sky, the Hundred-zhang Evil Lord roared in anger, his voice echoing loudly.

Perhaps due to another power within his body, the expression on his face fluctuated between frenzy and pain, changing in an instant.

He seemed to desperately want to expel the other soul within his body, but he couldn't, only able to struggle continuously.

Not far away, Xia Fan could clearly see that there were actually two souls within the Hundred-Zhang Evil Corpse's body. These two souls were now fighting for control of the body, causing the Hundred-Zhang Evil Corpse's attack to be half-formed before an accident occurred.

"Marquis Ling Tian..."

"This person's name, I seem to have seen it somewhere?"

Xia Fan softly murmured these three words, a vague impression flashing through his mind.

Now, the Hundred-Zhang Evil Corpse was temporarily preoccupied with the soul struggle and couldn't care about anything else, giving him more time to recall. Finally, his eyes lit up, "I remember! So, this Marquis Ling Tian has quite an extraordinary background!"

"Tiger Brother, do you know him?"

Beside him, Magic Cat raised her head, her face full of confusion and curiosity. "Who exactly is this Marquis Ling Tian?"

"Do you remember the jade slips we obtained in the Rain Immortal Realm earlier?"

Xia Fan pondered for a moment, then decided to briefly enlighten Magic Cat, "Those jade slips seemed to contain some descriptions of this Marquis Ling Tian."

"I remember, Marquis Ling Tian was a hotshot prodigy in the Thunder Immortal Realm back then, an existence on whom even the Immortal Emperor placed great hopes."

"It's just a pity that later on, Marquis Ling Tian betrayed the Immortal Domain and killed dozens of Immortal Generals, becoming completely unforgivable by the Immortal Realm!"

"And? And?"

Magic Cat saw that Xia Fan stopped speaking after saying this, and her curiosity was completely piqued. She immediately pressed, "What happened to this Marquis Ling Tian in the end?"

"Logically speaking, a powerful expert like him, even if he betrayed the Immortal Realm, would leave behind many legends!"

"The information on the jade slips only recorded this much."

Hearing this, Xia Fan shook his head with a bitter smile, "After all, the events of that year are too distant, and if it weren't for the protagonists themselves explaining, you and I would never truly know the truth."

"Ah? That's too bad..."

Magic Cat was instantly disappointed, but then she heard Xia Fan say, "Then do you want to know the rest of the story?"

"Tiger Brother knows?"

"I'm just guessing, and whether it's true or not, I can't be sure."

Xia Fan, like Magic Cat, was also very interested in this matter. Coupled with the information he had read about Marquis Ling Tian, he deduced a conclusion, "I believe that Marquis Ling Tian back then was likely possessed by this Evil Lord, which is why he suddenly betrayed the Immortal Domain and committed such atrocities."

"Later, Marquis Ling Tian might have been found by a powerful being. That powerful being originally intended to kill him but discovered that Marquis Ling Tian's soul had not been extinguished."

"Therefore, this powerful being couldn't bear to kill Marquis Ling Tian and instead sealed him with the Sky Purification Sword, hoping that Marquis Ling Tian could regain control of his body from the Evil Lord!"

Having said all this in one breath, Xia Fan smiled at Magic Cat, "At most, I can only deduce this much. I dare not speak presumptuously about what happened afterward."

"So that's how it is."

After hearing this, a hint of regret flashed in Magic Cat's eyes. "Marquis Ling Tian is truly unfortunate, isn't he? But... he now has a chance to regain control of his body, perhaps he can succeed!"

The reason Xia Fan thought this was because just now, the Evil Lord, in order to deal with himself and Li Sisi, did not hesitate to withdraw the power suppressing Marquis Ling Tian, allowing Marquis Ling Tian to seize the opportunity and suffer a backlash from the opponent.

This explanation made sense.

"Tiger King, you guessed correctly!"

Li Sisi had listened quietly to Xia Fan's deductions the entire time. Now, she nodded, her eyes filled with admiration as she said, "That's roughly how things happened."

She now understood even more clearly that Xia Fan not only had unparalleled opportunities but also possessed intelligence far beyond ordinary people. Thinking of this, she secretly thought to herself, "No wonder this Tiger King can achieve such renown in this era of great struggle!"

"The other fierce beast powerhouses were not wronged in their defeat."

"At this moment, should we make a move?"

At this moment, Xia Fan suddenly asked Li Sisi for her opinion, hoping she could also help think of a countermeasure.

He could completely take advantage of the Evil Lord's illness and kill him while he and Marquis Ling Tian were fighting for control, but he was worried that his attack would cause the opponent's current state to disappear, or even affect Marquis Ling Tian's soul within this Hundred-Zhang Evil Corpse.

"If that's the case, then things would be very bad."

Xia Fan revealed his concerns, then looked at Li Sisi.

She almost blurted out without hesitation, her gaze incredibly firm, "Of course we should act!"

"Tiger King, you may not know, but the Sky Purification Sword back then wiped out most of the Evil Lord's power, leaving him no longer as he once was."

"What's more, with the Sky Purification Sword in my hands now, it can still exert the same effect."

"So if not now, when?"

As her voice fell, Li Sisi directly condensed her sword moves. Sharp sword qi quickly appeared around her, forming a dense sword array in just a moment.

With a delicate shout from her, these sword qi swiftly converged into one place, and following Li Sisi's command, they charged straight forward.

"Break!"

Li Sisi moved extremely fast, directly stabbing her sword into the newly healed scar on the Evil Lord's chest.

"Pfft!"

The long sword pierced in, and the sword qi raged, causing great destruction at the wound and making the Evil Lord's body visibly tremble.

"Junior, how dare you!"

The Evil Lord roared, then violently threw a punch, sending Li Sisi flying, but the Sky Purification Sword remained lodged in his chest.

"Ah..."

He endured the intense pain, slowly pulling out the Sky Purification Sword, then quickly flung it away, finally letting out a sigh of relief!

Boom—

At the same time, Li Sisi crashed heavily to the ground. She spat out a mouthful of blood, her aura weak, and she couldn't even open her eyes, seemingly having fallen unconscious.

Although the Hundred-zhang Evil Lord pulled out the Sky Purification Sword, a large amount of black qi gushed out from the wound, covering a large area in just a moment.

Seeing this, Xia Fan immediately let out a low growl, "Absorb it for me!"

Currently, the Evil Lord and Marquis Ling Tian were fighting for control, and every subtle change could alter the outcome. Therefore, even if this black qi could affect one's mind, Xia Fan couldn't care about anything else.

He released his Devouring Black Hole, absorbing all the black qi at an extremely fast speed, and his strength was slowly advancing!
