His withered left hand, which was completely skin and bones, stretched out, holding a short knife. The knife was made of bone and did not look sharp, but it was a top-grade spiritual treasure with countless restrictions on it.
“Foolish old man,” A Yao exclaimed in astonishment.
She had seen this person in her past life, but had never fought him, only met him once. He was one of the most famous celestial kings in the underworld, a member of the ghost race. Although not a demon, his slaughter of living beings was no less than that of the demon celestial kings.
This guy has a strange quirk: he enjoys hunting down powerful individuals, then carving runes on their bones to turn them into his puppets. Ayao looked around and noticed many skeletons with carved runes.
Why did this guy contact me and Feng Chu? What does he want?
"Little girl, you actually recognize this old man, huh? Hehe~" Old Man Chi Gu chuckled twice. His voice was hoarse, giving off a disgusting and horrifying feeling, like snakes crawling all over your body.
The Foolish Old Man?
This was Feng Chu's first time in the Underworld. Since arriving, A Yao had often told him about things there. For example, she mentioned powerful figures to watch out for in the Underworld, including this Foolish Bone Elder. This guy was the Foolish Bone Elder! What was he doing here? Did he want to kill him and A Yao and then carve their bones into his own artwork?
The old man with the ethereal blue eyes looked towards Feng Chu. His divine sense swept over, but was deflected by the cloak Feng Chu was wearing. The old man with the eccentric bones showed surprise. He stared at the cloaks on A Yao and Feng Chu, muttering to himself:
"No wonder I couldn't find you two, my little darlings. Turns out you were wearing these cloaks. They're quite interesting; they can even reflect the divine sense of a Celestial King."
"Fun! Fun! So fun!"
"Senior, we are complete strangers. What do you want to do?" Ayao asked.
If she could, she wouldn't want to fight a Celestial King.
"What do I want to do? Hehe~" The old man with the eccentric bones looked at Feng Chu again. Although he had no eyeballs, Feng Chu could feel his gaze, and a feeling of disgust rose in Feng Chu's heart.
The old man with the eccentric bones chuckled and said, "Innate sword seed!! Or even a Chaotic Overlord Body, hahahahaha... Perfect! Perfect!! This old man's body is rotting away, this old man needs a new body. Young man, this old man really likes your body, really likes it, hehe~"
Feng Chu: "..."
That old bastard came here just because he's lusting after my body!
Ayao naturally knew that the Innate Sword Seed was very attractive to many people, especially with the addition of the Chaotic Overlord Body. This old monster wanted to possess Feng Chu! It seemed that a fierce battle was inevitable.
“Young man, this old man will not bully you. If you obediently leave your physical body behind, this old man will let your primordial spirit leave.”
The old man with the eccentric bones acted as if he were easy to talk to.
"Go to hell!"
This is Feng Chu's answer.
Upon hearing this answer, the old man sighed and said, "In that case, I have no choice but to kill both of you."
His voice was like a cold current passing through, and all the skeletons around him trembled. Countless skeletons rose from the ground and rushed towards A Yao and Feng Chu.
As Ayao watched the approaching skeletons, golden flames erupted from her body, and beautiful phoenix wings unfurled behind her. With a flap of her wings, golden phoenix fire swept around her, and the skeletons that touched the phoenix fire were all reduced to ashes.
The earth trembled violently, and A Yao and Feng Chu sensed the attack coming from underground, soaring into the sky. Two enormous snakes emerged from the ground; these snakes were long dead, only skeletons remaining. However, judging from the powerful aura emanating from them, they were undoubtedly experts at the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage.
The two giant snakes, now reduced to mere skeletons, lunged at A Yao and attacked Feng Chu, respectively.
Feng Chu shouted, and clusters of golden flames appeared behind him. From each flame emerged a golden three-legged crow, which cried out and charged towards the oncoming giant serpent. The giant serpent roared, and several purple arrays appeared around it, continuously spewing out beams of purple light.
Rumble—
Instantly, beams of light filled the sky.
As Feng Chu dodged, he gathered sword energy, and in an instant, hundreds of thousands of flying swords filled the sky.
The black-haired, golden-eyed youth wielded hundreds of thousands of flying swords, which formed a giant sword wheel that not only blocked all the purple beams of light but also crushed the giant snake into fragments like a speeding wheel.
Another giant snake lunged at A Yao, and countless birds, reduced to mere skeletons, also surged towards her from all directions. In an instant, A Yao was completely surrounded.
A Yao spread her phoenix wings, clenched one hand into a fist, and slammed it towards the oncoming giant snake.
Her fists erupted with dazzling light, and golden fist imprints appeared in the void, like countless golden flowers blooming in the sky. The heavens trembled, golden light shimmered, and the scene was extremely strange and vast. After being attacked by tens of thousands of golden fist imprints, the giant serpent's body, which was already just a skeleton, completely collapsed.
Countless birds, struck by the force of the punch, cried out in anguish as they turned to dust.
"Hahahahahahahaha..."
The old man with the eccentric bones was laughing. He was actually laughing after watching his two puppets being killed by A Yao and Feng Chu.
As his voice echoed through the heavens and earth, the two giant snakes that A Yao and Feng Chu had killed earlier reappeared. Even the birds, skeletons, and bats reappeared in the void, and these dead creatures pounced on A Yao and Feng Chu once again.
Feng Chu and A Yao both frowned.
A Yao immediately took out the Snow Phoenix Weeping Zither from her storage space. She plucked the strings, and a clear, resonant sound rang out. Countless ice crystals appeared in the world, instantly freezing everything in sight. All the dead creatures were frozen by the ice and snow transformed from A Yao's music.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Feng Chu summoned all of the million companion swords that surrounded his natal sword.
Sword light illuminated the heavens and earth, and millions of companion swords hovered above the white-robed youth's head, transforming the entire sky into a domain of swords. The sword intent emanating from these millions of companion swords even startled the Immortal King realm expert, Chi Gu Weng. He gazed at Feng Chu, his desire for Feng Chu's body growing even stronger.
This is absolutely amazing!!
This sword intent! This abundant sword energy, it's truly wondrous!!
Chi Gu Weng was originally a sword cultivator, but unfortunately he didn't have much talent in the way of the sword. He was ridiculed and humiliated by countless fellow disciples, so he began to cultivate other techniques.
However, because he still had a deep attachment to the sword, after cultivating to the Immortal King realm, his obsession with the sword, his unwillingness to accept defeat, and his regrets created inner demons that prevented him from advancing further.
He wanted Feng Chu's body not only because he genuinely needed a physical body, but also for another crucial reason.
