Chapter 77 I Heard You're a Messenger of Death
"Xiao Xiaozi, is there any way?" Ma Xiaotao followed behind Ye Nanxiao, watching him freeze the surrounding walls as he moved forward. 👻♕ ➅❾𝓼ħⓤ𝕏.ᑕⓄｍ 👺♥
"There is a way, but it's a bit risky," Ye Nanxiao said, looking around.
"If you have a solution, then take action," Ma Xiaotao said earnestly to Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao glanced at Ma Xiaotao, then extended his hand, saying, "We'll merge and chase after them instantly. However, the risk is that there are a large number of explosives buried inside the walls. If we're not careful, we..."
"It's not a loss." Ma Xiaotao uttered a phrase Ye Nanxiao often used, and tightly grasped Ye Nanxiao's outstretched hand, connecting them through the soul power bond.
Ye Nanxiao gradually transformed into a stream of light and merged into Ma Xiaotao's body. Ma Xiaotao's aura surged exponentially. After Ye Nanxiao stepped into the Soul King realm, the two's Martial Soul Fusion Skill finally displayed its true power.
The icy blue flames illuminated the dark passage, and Ma Xiaotao unleashed her full speed, chasing after the evil soul master.
While being held hostage by the evil soul master, Huo Yuhao was discussing with Tianmeng, Ice Silkworm, and Ice Emperor: "Brother Tianmeng, this person can't be allowed to live. Don't worry about me; even if I can't withstand it, I must kill him!"
"Good, you are very brave. I will do my best. Let's look for an opportunity first." The Ice Emperor's voice carried a hint of approval, followed by silence, clearly as he searched for the evil soul master's weakness.
Just then, an aged voice suddenly rang out, "Big worm, little scorpion, let this old man handle it. This is the aura of death, I am very familiar with it."
Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea also turned gray. Both Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor felt a pressure that even they feared, a pressure from a soul level completely different from theirs.
The view ahead suddenly opened up, and the Grim Reaper had already led Huo Yuhao out of the tunnel. The air suddenly became fresh, which immediately invigorated Huo Yuhao.
At the exit, twelve figures stood silently. Upon seeing the evil spirit master, the twelve figures immediately knelt on one knee and respectfully bowed to the messenger of death.
"Rise, my corpse slaves! You must stay behind to cover my retreat. We may be in deep trouble this time. There are two auras behind us. One is an unstable aura around the Soul Saint level, and the other is the aura of a Title Douluo. However, they are far apart. Hmph, in ten years, even a Title Douluo will have to bow down before me." The Evil Soul Master said as he detonated the explosives in the tunnel.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Violent explosions rang out, and terrifying waves of fire swept through the entire tunnel.
"Oh no, the explosives have been detonated!" Ye Nanxiao exclaimed. In an instant, the ice armor on Ma Xiaotao's body shone brightly, and the ice armor, which was originally only half a body armor, seemed to grow rapidly as if it were alive.
Legs, hands, head, and finally the mask—a Valkyrie was born from the ice, but Ye Nanxiao could only maintain it for a quarter of an hour.
Ma Xiaotao's wings suddenly flapped, and her speed increased dramatically again, propelling her out of the tunnel through the flames.
"Damn it, they actually hid such a powerful bomb! Xiaoxiao, how are you?" Ma Xiaotao asked anxiously in her heart.
"Not very good," Ye Nanxiao replied.
"Hmm? We have guests. Corpse slaves, give them a good welcome."
Six of the twelve corpse slaves rushed forward. Their skin was the iron-gray color of the dead, their eyes were empty and lifeless, their fingernails were unusually long and purplish-black, and their bodies reeked of decay.
Ma Xiaotao clasped her hands together and thrust them out, unleashing a ring of flames that instantly froze and burned the corpse slaves upon contact with the icy blue flames.
"What is this? Flames that can freeze? Cold fire? Such a terrifying chill!" The evil soul master looked at the burning cold fire, waved his hand, and four more corpse slaves rushed up.
Each of the corpse slaves was not only powerful, but also carried corpse poison. Even with the full armor that Ye Nanxiao had transformed into, Ma Xiaotao dared not let the corpse slaves touch her.
"Xiao Xiaozi, do you have a solution?" Ma Xiaotao communicated with Ye Nanxiao using her consciousness.
"Not at the moment."
"Then we can only wait for Elder Xuan. Xiao Xiaozi, hold on a little longer." Ma Xiaotao unleashed a burst of cold fire, repelling two corpse slaves who rushed up, and a long spear of ice appeared in her hand.
However, the corpse slaves felt no pain. No matter whether Ma Xiaotao used high or low temperatures, the corpse slaves would always get up and launch another attack.
"Damn it, these iron lumps are too hard!" Ma Xiaotao said angrily, throwing the spear in her hand.
The ice spear, formed from the condensation of extreme ice, could only wound the corpse slave. However, the corpse slave, unaware of pain, casually pulled out the spear and threw it on the ground, launching another attack on Ma Xiaotao.
"This thing is probably a hairy zombie, with a body made of copper and iron, and evil soul masters usually leave them with a considerable amount of their former fighting strength," Ye Nanxiao analyzed.
"Heh heh, it's time to end this." The evil spirit master commanded the corpse slaves to continuously shrink and surround Ma Xiaotao.
A fierce glint flashed in Ma Xiaotao's eyes as she gathered cold flames, which floated around her like a protective circle.
"Ice Phoenix Spreads Its Wings!" A large amount of cold fire surged from Ma Xiaotao's body, and the cold fire gathered in the sky above Ma Xiaotao to form a huge ice phoenix.
The ice phoenix let out a cry and swooped down towards the corpse slaves surrounding Ma Xiaotao.
Ten corpse slaves were blasted away by the ice phoenix. This time, Ma Xiaotao did not use the low temperature of the cold fire, but instead used her own high temperature. The scorching phoenix burned all ten corpse slaves severely, and the icy blue flames continued to burn their bodies.
"Damn it, I didn't expect it to be so powerful." The evil soul master controlled the two corpse slaves closest to Ma Xiaotao to rush up and self-destruct.
The corpse slave's body rapidly expanded, and Ma Xiaotao, who had just unleashed a powerful attack, hadn't recovered yet.
"Damn it, another corpse explosion! The explosive force of these corpse slaves is probably far greater than that in the cave before. Sister Tao, be careful!" Ye Nanxiao shouted.
Ma Xiaotao conjured a wall of fire to block the self-destruction of the two corpse slaves. The violent explosion shattered the fire wall, and the impact hit Ma Xiaotao. She felt a sweet taste in her throat, forcibly swallowed the blood, and gathered cold fire.
"Want to come again? You've missed your chance." The evil spirit master then commanded two more corpse slaves to rush forward and self-destruct.

Ma Xiaotao controlled the creation of two ice prisons to trap the corpse slaves, but the explosion shattered the ice prisons, and the force of the explosion directly hit Ma Xiaotao.
The internal organs were violently impacted, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Ma Xiaotao's mouth. With a wave of her hand, a large group of ice pillars burning with flames condensed behind Ma Xiaotao and attacked the evil soul master.
"What a troublesome ability!" The evil spirit master slapped his own chest, spitting out a large amount of thick black liquid, which spilled onto the remaining corpse slaves.
Upon contact with the thick, black liquid, the corpse slave unleashed a soaring aura, its body swelling in size and emitting a roar unlike any human's. It directly confronted the flaming ice pillar, forming a human wall in front of the evil soul master.
The ice pillars shattered one after another, and even though the corpse slaves were stained with flames, they were quickly covered and devoured by the black liquid.
"Out of ideas? Take this!" The evil soul master pointed at Ma Xiaotao, and two more corpse slaves rushed out.
The corpse slave, enhanced by the thick black liquid, experienced a surge in speed and rushed towards Ma Xiaotao almost instantly.
The armor on Ma Xiaotao's body emitted a dazzling light, and a nine-tailed fox formed from energy rushed out, its nine tails protecting Ma Xiaotao.
A deafening explosion rang out, followed by a violent blast.
The evil spirit master waved his hand to disperse the dust from the explosion, and chuckled, "This enhanced corpse explosion can reach the level of a Soul Saint. It didn't taste good, did it?"
Having withstood two consecutive attacks comparable to a full-force strike from a Soul Emperor and an attack at the level of a Soul Saint, the Ice Flame Fire Maidens that Ma Xiaotao and Ye Nanxiao had transformed into were directly shattered, turning into two beams of light that revealed Ma Xiaotao and Ye Nanxiao themselves.
Ma Xiaotao was the main victim and suffered far more harm than Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao, who had transformed into armor, was also seriously injured. At this moment, he was kneeling on one knee, holding Ma Xiaotao, with a trace of blood flowing from his mouth. If his physical strength were not sufficient, he would probably have collapsed.
The evil spirit master controlled the remaining six corpse slaves to surround the two.
Ye Nanxiao suddenly smiled, leaned down and whispered something in Ma Xiaotao's ear. Ma Xiaotao breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed, and fainted in Ye Nanxiao's arms.
"Oh? It seems you're the only one left. Don't worry, I'll turn both of you into new corpse slaves to serve me, hehehehe!" the evil soul master laughed loudly.
Ye Nanxiao revealed a mocking smile and sneered, "I heard you're a messenger of death?"
"That's right, it's me, me." The evil soul master hadn't finished speaking.
Suddenly, an aged voice rang out, "Although I can't remember most of my past, I still vaguely recall that if I wanted to, I would already be the Grim Reaper! You, a lich who barely touched the edge of necromancy before sacrificing your own flesh and blood, dare to call yourself a messenger of death?"
Sensing the strange sensation in his hand, the evil spirit master quickly let go and looked down.
The person who originally held only two white spirit rings suddenly emitted an unbelievable radiance.
Behind the mask, his originally pale gold eyes turned gray, a gray filled with a sense of vicissitude, as if he could see through everything in the world. Even more strangely, a gray soul ring slowly rose from Huo Yuhao's feet. As the gray soul ring climbed upward, it actually created a series of afterimages, making it impossible to tell whether it was one or multiple.
"I've been waiting for a long time, Elder Yi." Ye Nanxiao finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell backward while holding Ma Xiaotao.
Looking at that layer of gray, the evil spirit master felt a strange sense of suffocation and subconsciously took a step back.
"You...you're also an evil spirit master?" The Death Messenger's pale green eyes, seemingly covered only by a thin membrane, were filled with shock.
"Evil Soul Master? What's that? I've never heard of it." The aged voice carried a hint of surprise.
The Grim Reaper snorted coldly and said, "Every evil spirit master is a great being. I am the spokesperson for Death, the messenger of Death. You are clearly not old, yet you dare to play tricks on me. If you are truly an evil spirit master, reveal your identity to me, and perhaps we may have a chance to cooperate."
"The Grim Reaper's power is purification, not summoning souls or conjuring corpses. You don't even have the potential to become a lich, yet you dare to speak so arrogantly in front of me. How laughable," Huo Yuhao sneered.
The messenger of death was stunned by the aged voice. "What necromancy? What lich? What demon? I am the great evil spirit master! How dare you blaspheme against death! Die!"
The evil spirit master commanded all the remaining corpse slaves to rush towards "Huo Yuhao".
"A very familiar aura. Although it's a bit disgusting, I still feel a sense of warmth." The old voice sighed. Huo Yuhao didn't move his body, but simply raised a finger.
A faint gray flame burned on his fingertip. Those who had been turned into corpse slaves by the Grim Reaper only approached within three meters of his body before their bodies trembled violently and stopped.
"Big worm, I need to borrow some of the power you sealed. Although I still can't remember what happened before, a mere lich dares to flaunt such low-level necromancy in front of me, the Necromancer Saint, the Undead Scourge Ilex. Well then, I'll let you play with fire and get burned."
As he spoke, the flames on his fingertips suddenly intensified, and then the gray halo around his body suddenly expanded, enveloping all the corpse slaves.
The evil spirit master soon discovered with horror that his connection with the corpse slaves had been severed, and he could no longer control them.
Gradually, a faint light began to appear in the eyes of the corpse slaves—the light of white flames. A small cluster of white flames gradually appeared in the eyes of each corpse slave, and they slowly turned around. Expressions began to appear on their stiff faces—pain, hatred, and endless resentment.
When they turned around and saw the messenger of death, they rushed at him like madmen.
"No! This is impossible!" The evil soul master was about to turn around and run away when he saw a golden light flash in Huo Yuhao's gray eyes. Then he felt as if his brain had been hit head-on by a sledgehammer, and a strong sense of dizziness and needle-like pain surrounded his brain.
The evil soul master was directly knocked down by Huo Yuhao's mental attack. Seeing the evil soul master fall to the ground, the corpse slaves roared and pounced on him, tearing the evil soul master to pieces.
