Chapter 756: Revived?

"Human brat, the battle isn't over yet!"
After having those words uttered, the evil spirit looked at Lin Huang with an insulting expression. It grinned, then let out a wicked, loud laugh.
"What are you laughing at!?"
Lin Huang ignored its strange behavior. He moved his arms slightly, slicing through the evil spirit with his bloody sword again. On its ferocious face, blood started flowing out from its forehead to its chin. The next second, the evil spirit's head was cut in half. Black brain juice dripped from its skull to the ground, and the copper scent of the blood permeated the air.
The next moment, Lin Huang frowned and looked towards the half of its dead body from which its head had already exploded.
"It's strange. I didn't receive any notification saying that it's been killed," Lin Huang mumbled.
As he gazed at the headless half of the corpse, it seemed like a certain substance had melted it as it quickly turned into a black mist and vanished. Soon, the same happened to the evil spirit's lower body as it disappeared as well.
Seeing the strange phenomenon, Lin Huang picked up his sword again, tearing towards the black mist with his Air Slicer. However, his sword penetrated through the black mist and his attack was rendered useless.
With his trial attack, he realized that his offense had no effect on the evil spirit. Lin Huang then retreated tens of meters away in a flash. He observed the region enveloped by the black mist from afar. He knew that his opponent had not died yet. Although he had no idea what the black mist was, he still chose to retreat to avoid being tainted by the black mist.
Ever since he had traveled to this world, there was danger lurking everywhere. Everyone had various types of skills. Even Mr. Fu, who was a Virtual God, could be tricked. Therefore, Lin Huang was more cautious about the things which he was unsure of.
Lin Huang was unfamiliar with the current situation. It was his first time encountering a monster that could not die despite its head having exploded. Even those who possessed Enhanced Regeneration would definitely die due to the unique attributes exhibited by the Air Slicer.
Still, Lin Huang did not shift his gaze elsewhere, focusing on the two clumps of black mist. He then asked Bloody that was hiding in his sleeve, "Its dead body was burnt. Do you have any idea what's happening over there?"
"There are no relevant records found in the monster guide, and I've never seen anything like this before," Bloody said based on its observation, "It was killed just now, but it's still alive. It seems like it's using some sort of substitute skill. It could be a new skill that hasn't been recorded."
"Sounds like it." Lin Huang recalled what he just saw, feeling that what Bloody said might be true.
Just when the both of them were talking to each other, Lin Huang suddenly noticed that the two masses of black mist which had transformed from the evil spirit's lower body was starting to merge.
He frowned and soon, he thrust his sword forward. The bloody glow that could be seen on its blade pierced through the black mist and struck the ground far away from him, forming a bottomless pit in the ground. The black mist remained unaffected and continued to merge.
Although Lin Huang found it worrisome, since his attack had no effect on his enemy, he was not going to waste his energy on it. Following the merging of the black mist, a human figure gradually formed.
Witnessing the human figure was getting clearer and clearer, Lin Huang could vaguely guess what was going to happen next.
Within seconds, the human figure that was formed from the black mist became so clear as if it were real. It simply looked like somebody had modeled a black female silhouette.
Lin Huang relaunched another trial attack. As usual, his bloody sword managed to penetrate through the black silhouette with ease as if there was nothing there.
A person's face slowly appeared from the black mist. The person's features could be clearly seen on the face which was initially dark. Unexpectedly, it was the face of a beautiful lady.
The moment as Lin Huang saw its face, he felt a sense of deja vu as though he had seen it before.
While its body was gradually forming, its waist-length hair was blowing in the wind. Finally, a whole female body was revealed. At that moment, Lin Huang then recalled who the woman was.
"Indeed, it has come back to life. I can clearly remember this is how the female victim looked like when I saw her in the mortuary."
Startlingly, its body looked like the immortal-level rank-3 woman who was killed by the evil spirit earlier. From its face to its body, each strand of her hair looked exactly the same as if the female victim had come back to life.
The evil spirit that had transformed into a woman slowly opened its eyes. It fixed its gaze at Lin Huang and gave him a cunning smile. "I told you earlier that the battle between us isn't over yet."
"I think it's better for you to put your clothes on first. Otherwise, people might think that we're filming some education film." Lin Huang studied her from head to toe. He had to admit that she had an attractive body. Since she was the one who did not bother putting on her clothes, he had nothing to lose.
"Is this the human sense of shame?" The evil spirit laughed.
"Perhaps it is," Lin Huang admitted, "It's your decision whether to put on your clothes or not. Regardless of what your decision is, I'm not going to show you any mercy. Also, don't expect me to take my clothes off together with you. I'm not that open a person."
The evil spirit chuckled, and soon, clothes gradually materialized. The piece of clothing was precisely what the victim had worn when she was killed. It wore a short-sleeved, light yellow top and a light blue linen skirt. It looked quite pretty in the attire.
"Hehe, it doesn't matter whether you're an open person or not as you're going to be a dead person soon."
As soon as it finished its words, a green saber appeared in the evil spirit's hand. A glow could be seen on the blade of the saber itself, and apparently, it was a supreme relic.
"It majors in saber?"
Lin Huang was startled. He had gone through the victim's information. He knew that the evil spirit had transformed into the woman who used to major in saber. However, he did not expect that the evil spirit would have mastered Saber Dao. When the evil spirit had fought him with the body of the muscular man, it was using close-range skills.
"Be careful. The effect of its transformation skill might not be just being a substitute. It could've inherited the victim's skills," Bloody immediately reminded.
Just as he saw the evil spirit taking out the supreme relic, Lin Huang had already made such a guess.
However, Lin Huang was excited.
Since there were arguments between sword and saber as those who majored in both schools had equally powerful attacks, the cultivators from both sides argued that each of their weapons was the strongest.
Despite such a thought never having come across Lin Huang's mind since he believed that different weapons would have different effects, it was inevitable that he would want to know who would be stronger. After all, he never had the opportunity to bump into a person who majored in Saber Dao and was as strong as him so far.
"I hope that your saber will be stronger than your fist. Otherwise, I'll feel really disappointed."
