<h4>Chapter 643 - Change</h4>


    The nine dragons flew towards the Ancient Demon Corpse, hitting it squarely. A terrifying screeching sound could be heard as the attacks were like des running across the surface of the Ancient Demon Corpse’s body.


    Blood-red light burst forth from the wounds. Long Shan had risked sustaining injuries tond his strongest martial technique! The Ancient Demon Corpse cried out in pain. The strongest attack from a Fourth Earthly Martial Cultivator was not to be underestimated if even the Ancient Demon Corpse had to cry out.


    But Long Chen wasn’t sure that it had worked. The Ancient Demon Corpse’s flesh was much stronger than Zhao Danchen’s Golden Combat Body. Even after Long Shan used the Nine Heavens Strike, the skin of the Ancient Demon Corpse was merely covered in shallow wounds.


    None of them were fatal.


    Just then, the Ancient Demon Corpse endured the pain and punched Long Shan. He quickly deactivated the Soul Dispersing Dragon w and used both arms to block the attack. The massive force impacted Long Shan’s arms and caused his shirt to burst open. Long Shan’s arms were bloody from the impact.


    He spat out blood and retreated with his face bing paler by the second. He staggered and took a long time to steady himself.


    The Ancient Demon Corpse was covered in wounds too. It hunched over and let out painful growls, unable to move. Still, its wounds were stitching together rapidly, though it needed some time due to the sheer amount ofcerations.


    The sh ended in a draw with both sustaining injuries.


    The Ancient Demon Corpse had beaten Long Shan with just its physical body, proving its strength.


    Long Chen studied the situation calmly.


    <i>Long Shan is old, and the punch from the Ancient Demon Corpse must’ve caused internal injuries. It won’t be easy for him to recover at his age, but the Ancient Demon Corpse is different. Its wounds will recover in half a day or so. The Ancient Demon Corpse is indeed stronger than Long Shan.</i>


    He was worried.


    Long Shan quickly wiped the blood off his mouth. His face soon recovered its ruddiness as he looked at the Ancient Demon Corpse. “Demon Emperor, it seems that it’s impossible for you to kill Long Chen today with me shielding him. Do you want your Ancient Demon Corpse to be destroyed by my hands?”


    Long Shan wouldn’t be able to destroy the Ancient Demon Corpse even if he used his full strength, but he could cause it to lose most of itsbat capabilities. Jiang Wuxie needed the Ancient Corpse to kill Zhao Wuji; it would be a waste for it to be destroyed by Long Shan.


    Jiang Wuxie was hesitating.


    His initial n was to kill Long Chen if the Ancient Demon Corpse could suppress Long Shan easily, but the Ancient Demon Corpse had barely won. Jiang Wuxie was also wary of any hidden trump cards up Long Shan’s sleeves.


    Therefore, he had no choice but to give up. “We can never cooperate. Get out of the Ancient Demon Domain. We will meet on the battlefield. I am eager to find out who will rule the Divine Martial Empire.”


    Long Shan’s faction was the weakest of three. Zhao Wuji was strong and mysterious, while Jiang Wuxie’s Ancient Demon Corpse was slightly stronger than Long Shan.


    Jiang Wuxie had spared them, but his words were still harsh.


    “We shall leave now since you do not wee us.” Long Shan was clearly upset.


    Even though he looked fine on the outside, Long Chen knew that Long Shan’s internal injuries were severe. It was impossible for Long Shan to be fine after being trapped in the boulder for so long.


    With their objectives achieved, everyone left the Ancient Demon Domain.


    Liu Yiyi and the Clear Shallows King couldn’t stay at the Ancient Demon Domain anymore. Jiang Wuxia looked at them embarrassingly as his broken arm dangled. “Will youe with me?”


    That was his choice.


    Long Yue smiled, but no one knew what she was thinking.


    Even though the Clear Shallows King had a lot of resentment towards Jiang Wuya, she knew that she couldn’t stay at the Ancient Demon Domain anymore. She would suffer if she didn’t have the Dragon n protecting her, so she had decided to stay with them. “Fine. I will give you a chance to redeem yourself.”


    “I ...” Liu Yiyi was happy that her wish wasing true. It waste, but it was better than noting true at all.


    Jiang Wuya had made this decision on his own without anyone helping him this time.


    Long Chen dared notment on the matter. Long Shan was injured, and they needed to return to the Battle n to recover. They had no choice but to make another n for the future.


    “In that case, let’s go back,” Long Yue said.


    Everyone nodded.


    But the situation suddenly changed.


    Sounds of explosions came from where Jiang Wuxie was. Everyone turned and looked at him.


    In order to prevent Long Shan or Long Chen from attacking him, Jiang Wuxie had retreated to a mountain. He had turned his back towards the mountain while he monitored the two people who could harm him while he controlled the Ancient Demon Corpse. But both him and Long Chen had forgotten one other person.


    Two golden lights shot down onto Jiang Wuxie’s head. Long Chen immediately realized what it was—Zhao Danchen’s Golden Eye of Annihtion.


    “Oh no, I forgot about Zhao Danchen!” Long Chen was surprised too. He was about to kill Zhao Danchen when the Ancient Demon Corpse arrived. Therger threat had made him forget about Zhao Danchen.


    Zhao Danchen was at the top of the mountain, above Jiang Wuxie. Jiang Wuxie had been so engrossed with Long Shan and Long Chen that he had failed to notice that someone was above him.


    Long Chen had underestimated Zhao Danchen’s recovery speed. He assumed Zhao Danchen was already on the brink of his death after crippling one of his arms, but the recovery power of the Golden Combat Body far exceeded everyone’s expectations.


    While Long Shan was fighting against the Ancient Demon Corpse, Zhao Danchen had taken the opportunity to climb up the mountain from the back. When Jiang Wuxie let his guard down, Zhao Danchen jumped down and used his strongest technique, the Golden Eye of Annihtion.


    The attack hade too fast and too close. Jiang Wuxie’s guard was fully down when he sensed the attacks. He managed to dodge one, but the second beam sted a hole in his chest.


    Jiang Wuxie cried out in pain. His lungs were exposed and blood sprayed everywhere.


    The disciples of the Ancient Demon Domain were shocked.


    Zhao Danchen had prepared his attack meticulously, so there was no way Jiang Wuxie could escape him. After using the Golden Eye of Annihtion, he used his one remaining arm to hit Jiang Wuxie’s back with the Golden Heavy Punch.


    Blood gushed out of Jiang Wuxie''s mouth. He slumped to the ground, his face pale as paper. He was on the brink of death and couldn’t resist Zhao Danchen.


    “Zhao ...”


    Zhao Danchenughed and took Jiang Wuxie’s Ancient Demon g. Even though he had lost one of his arms, his Golden Combat Body made him impervious to attacks of those at the Second Earthly Martial Realm and below. Zhao Danchen ran through the group of people from the Ancient Demon Domain with the g in hand. Their attacks did nothing to him, and he quickly waved the Ancient Demon g so the Ancient Demon Corpse would follow him.


    Zhao Danchen understood how to use the Ancient Demon g after experimenting with it.


    No one had expected him to circle around Jiang Wuxie to steal the Ancient Demon g and take control of the Ancient Demon Corpse.


    It was a surprising development.


    Jiang Wuxie had lost consciousness and was on the brink of death. He never would’ve expected that he would lose the Ancient Demon Corpse so soon after obtaining it.


    He felt like he had fallen from heaven to earth.


    Long Chen realized how dire the situation was.


    He cursed himself for not finishing Zhao Danchen off and allowing thetter to pull off such a significant reversal.


    No one in the Ancient Demon Domain could stop Zhao Danchen, especially now that he had control of the Ancient Demon Corpse. Zhao Danchen easily escaped their encirclement as he waved the Ancient Demon g with glee. His body was covered in wounds, but most of them had scabbed over. Due to how vigorously he was moving, most of the wounds reopened and left him covered in blood.


    Under the control of Zhao Danchen, the Ancient Demon Corpse rapidly expanded back to its original size. No one dared to move carelessly when they saw itsrge body.


    <i>Roaaaaar!</i>


    The Ancient Demon Corpse roared and cusped Zhao Danchen in its palms before raising him high above the clouds. Zhao Danchen looked down from the palm of the Ancient Demon Corpse.
