"Ghost Eye, well done." Chen Guan praised the Ghost-Eyed Python, then turned to Ming Fei and asked, "This guy doesn't carry any significant merit, does he?"

"Not really, but his malice is overwhelming. If you kill him, you might be plagued by nightmares and live in horror day and night." Ming Fei stared at the Evil Asura and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this and the Good Asura we saw earlier are actually the same Asura, a dual nature with both good and evil sides. One possesses good attribute Alien Elemental Energy, and the other possesses evil attribute Alien Elemental Energy. This kind of Secret Spirit is quite rare. In my lineage, the Tomb Master has a similar situation, but the Tomb Master is dual-bodied with dual hearts, whereas this one should be single-bodied with dual hearts, which is a bit different."

"So, can it be killed or not?" Chen Guan asked with a frown.

"Don't concern yourself with whether it can be killed; worry more about whether you can escape. In general, world-defying Secret Spirits with dual hearts are powerful, not to mention it's a Cause and Effect Type Alien Elemental Energy. We're too low level; we may not be able to take it on," Ming Fei said.

As they spoke, Ghost Eye had already rushed up to entangle the Evil Asura. Its massive body coiled around the Evil Asura, contracting tightly, with a formidable force that seemed intent on crushing the Evil Asura's armor along with its bones.

In terms of strength, even a level 20 Evil Asura couldn't handle a level 10 Ghost-Eyed Python.

Chen Guan drew the Miaoshu Sword, planning to charge in and use the Underworld Emperor's Sword to stab the Evil Asura through its head, ending its life.

Chen Guan had just leapt onto Ghost Eye's coiled body and hadn't even reached the Evil Asura when Ghost Eye's body suddenly recoiled as if shocked, lifting its head in silent agony. Chen Guan, unable to maintain his balance, had to leap back, landing on the ground behind.

He saw several gashes on Ghost Eye's abdomen, as if its tough scales had been sliced open by a sharp blade, with flesh exposed and bleeding.

Those wounds seemed more than ten centimeters deep, and there were seven or eight of them. For a human, such wounds would be fatal.

But for Ghost Eye, such injuries were minor. The pain was just too intense, provoking such a fierce response.

Chen Guan observed the Evil Asura standing there, its body enveloped in flickering black smoke, its fingers stained with blood, using the strength of its fingers to rip through Ghost Eye's tough scales.

The Evil Asura's raw strength was not Ghost Eye's match, but in terms of physical resilience and Primordial Energy strength, it was on an entirely different level.

Ghost Eye shrieked, suddenly opened its mouth wide and lunged at the Evil Asura, unstoppable like a high-speed train.

The Evil Asura, despite its level, couldn't withstand Ghost Eye's assault. It sidestepped to avoid being devoured, while simultaneously lunging forward to grab hold of Ghost Eye.

Its hooked fingers left five deep gashes on Ghost Eye's body as it passed.

Enraged by the pain, Ghost Eye lashed its tail toward the Evil Asura, which instantly leapt, almost teleporting into the air, clutching a hanging stalactite, hanging its body there, coldly glaring at Chen Guan and his companions.

Ghost Eye attempted to lunge again, but was called back by Chen Guan.

For a creature like Ghost Eye, such injuries were insignificant, but it was only level 10, lacking the speed and strength of a level 20 Evil Asura, so it couldn't kill the Evil Asura.

"Is there any way to deal with it?" Chen Guan asked, gripping the Miaoshu Sword, staring at the Evil Asura hanging beneath the stalactite.

The Evil Asura glared at him with a gaze like a fierce ghost, making Chen Guan feel targeted, fearing to turn and flee lest he provoke a deadly attack.

Beside him, Ming Fei retreated while saying, "We can't beat it, we have to escape, wait until my Second Awakening to deal with it."

Chen Guan thought, "Isn't that obvious? You plan to have a Second Awakening, shouldn't I awaken first? If I had my Second Awakening, would I still need your help?"

"Get back here, let's join forces and handle it." Seeing Ming Fei retreating further with no intention of protecting him, Chen Guan immediately called out.

"If I go back, you'll just run off and leave me to face it. Let the Ghost-Eyed Python cover for us; we should escape together, sacrificing Ghost Eye if necessary. I'll be more useful than a fool of a Secret Spirit like Ghost Eye in the future," Ming Fei didn't trust Chen Guan.

Seeing through his intentions, Chen Guan felt slightly vexed. He did want Ming Fei to cover their retreat, while also testing her combat abilities.

Most importantly, the Evil Asura had locked onto him. Without someone to distract it, Chen Guan dared not turn and run.

Even if his intentions weren't honorable, Ming Fei's disobedience meant she would require a firm reprimanding upon their return.

As he was preparing to use his authority as the owner to forcibly order Ming Fei back, he saw a murderous glint flash in the Evil Asura's eyes, its figure suddenly diving down from the stalactite like a bat in a rapid dive, almost instantly above Chen Guan, a large hand shrouded in black smoke reaching for Chen Guan's head.

Chen Guan activated the Senluo Ghost Step to sidestep while thrusting the Miaoshu Sword with the Netherworld Emperor Sword Technique into the Evil Asura's palm.

The doubled power of the Secret Technique of One, along with the Miaoshu Sword's flexibility and sharpness, rendered the sword tip peerless, piercing through the Evil Asura's palm, piercing through its armor, and tearing through its hand.

Chen Guan thought to himself, "The Secret Technique of One paired with the Netherworld Emperor Sword Technique, its destructive power could overwhelm even a level 20 World-Defying Secret Spirit, maybe it could really kill the Good and Evil Asura."

This thought was fleeting; the wounded Evil Asura flipped its palm, forcefully twisting the thoroughly punctured Miaoshu Sword into a spiral.

The immense torsion force compelled Chen Guan to release his grip on the sword; his strength was far inferior to the Evil Asura's.

Once Chen Guan let go, the Miaoshu Sword, freed of constraint, sprang open from the Evil Asura's hand, unharmed. Being a Soft Sword, its flexibility was excellent; if it were a less resilient sword twisted like that, it would've shattered into pieces.

The Evil Asura flicked its hand, causing the embedded Miaoshu Sword to fly out, embedding itself into the stone wall up to the hilt.

Chen Guan watched as the wound on the Evil Asura's hand, after ejecting the Miaoshu Sword, began emitting black smoke, then healed at a visible rate, leaving no trace whatsoever in an instant.

"Its self-healing ability is very strong too," Chen Guan mused.

Yet the Evil Asura didn't leave him time to think, charging at him again like a ghostly wraith, its palm striking towards Chen Guan's head as if to slam his head into his body.

Chen Guan neither retreated nor evaded, activating the Azure Heaven Dominating Body and the Profound Nether Yin Fire Palm simultaneously. Using the Celestial King Tower technique, his palm, engulfed in blue flames, met the descending hand of the Evil Asura.

Chen Guan wasn't sure if the Good and Evil Asura counted as a Ghost Type Secret Spirit, but even if it wasn't, the attribute of the Profound Nether Yin Fire Force to burn Primordial Energy should have some effect, though perhaps not as effective as it would be on Ghost Type or Yin Attribute beings.

Clang!

Their palms clashed, emitting a sound like metal striking metal.

The Evil Asura somersaulted in mid-air like a bat, spinning around without landing to regain momentum, and returned swiftly, palm striking at Chen Guan again.

Chen Guan's feet were already embedded in the shattered rocky ground. A level 20 World-Defying Secret Spirit was too powerful, the destructive force of a single strike overwhelmed the Azure Heaven Dominating Body, and even with doubled capability, Chen Guan still felt his hand numb, and the rocks beneath his feet crumbled.

Clang, clang, clang!

The Evil Asura seemed like a flying bat, continuously spinning and sending strikes in mid-air. They exchanged seven or eight palms; Chen Guan's legs were already buried in the rock. Were it not for the Azure Heaven Dominating Body's protection, his bones would have long been shattered.
