The three-headed beast pounced on the three-legged golden crow, and the two fought fiercely in the sky. The three-legged golden crow's feathers turned into bursts of fire rain. That beast was indeed powerful.
The old man with the eccentric bones flashed in front of Feng Chu and reached out to grab him.
Feng Chu narrowly dodged the outstretched hand and slashed at the old man with his sword. The old man chuckled and suddenly appeared behind Feng Chu, slamming Feng Chu down from the sky with a palm strike. With a loud bang, Feng Chu was slammed into the ground, creating a large crater.
"Feng Chu—"
Ayao cried out. She had just been sent flying by the Foolish Bone Elder, breaking dozens of bones in her body and severely injuring her primordial spirit. For a True Immortal, surviving a blow from a Celestial King was already a miracle. Ayao's physical condition far surpassed that of other True Immortals, and fortunately, she possessed a life essence that quickly repaired her body, allowing her to return so soon.
The old man with the obsessive bones wanted Feng Chu's body, so he must have held back.
Feng Chu coughed up blood, jumped out of the pit, and her little face was full of anger.
The old man with the eccentric bones was shocked by A Yao's regenerative abilities upon seeing her return; he hadn't seen through the life essence within her. Although he didn't intend to kill A Yao immediately, he didn't want her to interfere with his possession of Feng Chu, so he summoned his clone.
A purplish-black vortex appeared behind the old man, and a hunched old man who looked exactly like the old man stepped out of the purplish-black vortex. As soon as this clone of the old man appeared, it flashed in front of A Yao and slapped A Yao with a palm.
His palm strike drew upon the power of heaven and earth, causing wind and clouds to surge, rocks to crumble, and terrifying runes to be imprinted in the sky.
A huge gray handprint enveloped A Yao, seemingly intent on annihilating her entire being, including her primordial spirit. A Yao retreated rapidly, instantly disappearing tens of thousands of miles away, but the handprint drew ever closer. Without a second thought, A Yao dragged the white jade coffin out of her storage space and tossed it forward.
Upon seeing the white jade coffin, the expression of the old man's clone changed, and he immediately withdrew his palm strike, causing the huge handprint to disappear.
Ayao jumped onto the white jade coffin, then sat down cross-legged. She placed the Snow Phoenix Weeping Tears Qin in front of her and began to play it.
Clang clang clang—
As a series of rapid zither notes rang out, crescent-shaped arcs of light appeared in the void, shooting towards the avatar of the Foolish Bone Elder. The Foolish Bone Elder's tattered robes billowed, and a large number of bats flew out from within, colliding with the crescent-shaped arcs of light.
Bang bang bang bang bang——
The sound of explosions continued to ring out, echoing across the sky and the earth.
When the old man with the eccentric bones saw A Yao sitting on the white jade coffin, he chuckled twice and pointed a finger at her. A beam of red light shot out from his withered finger. The red light was so fast that A Yao didn't have time to dodge and was hit. She cried out in pain as her shoulder was pierced through.
The old man's clone knew he couldn't attack the white jade coffin, so the power of his attack was extremely concentrated.
Blood gushed out. Although the bones in his entire left shoulder were shattered, they healed at a visible speed thanks to the power of life.
The old man's clone was surprised. Even if a Golden Immortal Saint's body had been hit by that attack, it would take hundreds of years to recover. This little girl was clearly just a human with a thin Phoenix Clan bloodline, yet her high-speed self-healing ability was stronger than that of a Saint.
Could it be that he ate some powerful rare and precious herb?
He licked his lips, wanting to devour Ayao immediately.
Eat the flesh and blood, and keep the bones for carving. This little girl is beautiful, so her skull must be beautiful too. I'm sure I can carve a piece that will satisfy me.
Ayao waved her hand, trying to summon the white jade coffin to her side, but the clone of the Foolish Bone Elder saw through her intention, flashed in, and interrupted her spellcasting. He slashed horizontally with a bone knife, forcing Ayao to dodge to the side.
call out!
Although it was just a casual slash of sword energy, it still managed to tear open a spatial rift thousands of feet long in the void.
"Little girl, your white jade coffin is strange; you can't use it as a shield anymore. Hehe..."
That spatial rift possessed an incredibly powerful suction force, which actually pulled the white jade coffin away.
Watching the white jade coffin disappear into the spatial rift, Ayao felt anxious and wanted to use magic to pull it back.
With a laugh, the old man with the eccentric bones waved his sleeve, and countless skulls appeared around him. These skulls emitted eerie sounds, crashing towards A Yao like countless meteorites falling. A Yao's spellcasting was interrupted again. She held the Snow Phoenix Weeping Qin, dodging and playing at the same time. Countless ice spikes appeared in the sky, colliding with the skulls, creating continuous sounds.
Damn it! This can't go on like this. Even with the life essence, he'll capture me once he gets serious. How am I supposed to escape?! Ayao cried out inwardly.
While A Yao was engaged in a fierce battle with the clone of the Foolish Bone Elder, Feng Chu was also struggling against the Foolish Bone Elder's main body. After all, the Foolish Bone Elder was a Celestial King who had cultivated for millions of years. No matter how extraordinary Feng Chu's talent and abilities were, he was still just a True Immortal with a little over a thousand years of cultivation.
Bang!
Feng Chu was sent flying again, spitting out another mouthful of blood.
Countless flying swords swirled around him, flying backwards with him. Just as Feng Chu was about to crash into the mountain peak, he steadied himself, pointed his finger, and sent the flying swords swirling around him shooting towards the pursuing Chi Gu Weng.
Bang bang bang bang——
All the flying swords were blocked by a force when they were still three zhang away from the Foolish Bone Elder, and were shattered one by one. The Foolish Bone Elder instantly caught up with Feng Chu and punched him, embedding him into a stone mountain.
Bang!
The entire stone mountain was cracked open with countless fissures.
Feng Chu suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The old man with the clumsy bones thought the boy would be unable to move after such a blow, but before he could even get close, a powerful sword intent erupted from the boy who had been beaten so badly. Blood flowed down the boy's forehead, staining his still-childish, fair face. His golden eyes shone brightly, and his whole body was surrounded by chaotic energy. The sword energy surged forth, transforming into a giant sword, which slashed down at the old man with the clumsy bones—
Endless sword energy erupted, as if it were about to cleave the entire sky of the underworld.
The light was dazzling. Xie Chen, who had been watching the battle, suddenly turned his head to look into the distance. On the peak of a mountain in the distance, there stood a man in white. The man in white had long silver hair and a pair of bright golden eyes.
He stood there watching A Yao, who was fiercely fighting with the clone of the Foolish Bone Elder. When Xie Chen looked over, he turned around as well. His gaze met Xie Chen's in the void, and he smiled and nodded at Xie Chen.
Luo Bai, Luo Bai appeared here at some point.
