Chapter 223: Cultivation is not low
The flesh on the chest of the skeleton had grown halfway. Seeing a streak of light flying towards him quickly, he had to retract his pair of skeleton hands to resist the [Green Light].
The sound of "clang" was like the sound of metal hitting stone.
The half-human, half-skeleton creature had a ferocious face. Gu Yue was furious when he saw that his flesh and blood were slowly stopping growing.
While giving orders and fighting with [Qing Mang], Gu Yue saw the white bones that had their backs to her turn around and pounce on her.
While directing [Green Mantle] to fight against White Bone, she was about to take out the trident. At this time, Bai Rui in the space said, "Yue, use the demon-subduing pestle."
Gu Yue's mind moved, and the golden demon-subduing pestle appeared in her hand. She injected spiritual power into it, and the ancient patterns on the demon-subduing pestle instantly glowed with golden light, and the surrounding bones fell down.
Faint Buddhist chants could be heard in the air, as if purifying the place.
The half-human, half-skeleton on the hill took advantage of Gu Yue being busy with other things and knocked the [Green Light] back. Gu Yue switched the demon-subduing pestle from her right hand to her left hand and caught the [Green Light] with her right hand. The [Green Light] made a buzzing sound in her hand, as if it was dissatisfied with Gu Yue for dividing her attention to other weapons.
Gu Yue shook her hands to soothe it.
The half-human, half-skeleton creature howled to the heavens, its shrill voice echoing through the sky. Gu Yue felt a sharp pain in her sea of consciousness.
He had waited for this moment with great difficulty. On a yin year, yin month, yin day and yin hour, the blood moon was high in the sky. The yin energy underground was drawn by the blood moon, and the yin energy, which was like a real substance, could help him restore his human form. In this way, he could walk in the world of the living and no longer need to be afraid of the sunlight.
It just so happened that the secret realm was open, and he could leave the secret realm directly after regaining his human form. Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by this person. He would not let go of this seemingly ordinary-looking female cultivator.
She calmed her mind, took out a soul-nourishing pill and swallowed it, and felt her sea of consciousness feel better.
At this moment, a skeleton rushed towards her. She had no time to react and just raised her left hand holding the demon-subduing pestle to block it. Unexpectedly, the skeleton was so sharp that a long cut was made on her arm. A sharp pain came and blood gushed out. She didn't bother to check the wound.
He raised his right hand and swung [Green Light], a stream of sword energy flew out in an arc, hitting the bones directly. Several bones were broken into pieces, making a sound of bones scattering on the ground. He struggled on the ground for a while, but could no longer get up.
The half-human, half-skeleton figure on the hill looked at the bones below and could do nothing to Gu Yue. He had to get rid of this female cultivator as soon as possible, hoping there was still time.
He spread the fingers of his right hand and grasped at the void. A scepter appeared in his hand. This scepter was also made of bones. The handle was about half a person's height, and the top of the scepter was inlaid with a skull. Two eye sockets emanated black energy.
At this time, the blood on Gu Yue's hand flowed onto the Demon Subduing Pestle. The blood did not drip onto the ground, but was slowly absorbed by the Pestle. Golden light burst out from the pestle, and an ancient totem appeared in the air, covering Gu Yue.
Gu Yue only felt that an ancient text appeared in her sea of consciousness. She didn't recognize it, but she could understand it.
The general meaning is that this demon-subduing pestle is the magic weapon of a certain master. Because he spent his whole life fighting demons and defending the way, he was unfortunately plotted against by the evil spirit. When he was dying, some seals and spells were added to the pestle. Only upright and kind people can obtain its contract. If the contract is signed, they must inherit the master's will in this life and fight demons and defend the way.
Gu Yue was completely bewildered. She had just been injured and had no time to heal, yet she was already in the contract.
She looked at the demon-subduing pestle in her hand carefully. The patterns on the pestle were filled with shiny gold, making it feel more delicate. Holding it in her hand, it seemed as if it belonged in her hand. It fit her hand very well!
There was another bond in her sea of consciousness. It was a golden thread of spiritual power with some runes and spells for subduing demons and defending the way engraved on it. It was displayed in her sea of consciousness little by little. There was also a figure in the sea of consciousness holding a complicated spell.
Gu Yue looked at it carefully, and after reading it once, she memorized it. She felt a murderous intent as strong as a substance rushing towards her, and she pulled herself out of her sea of consciousness.
She put away the [Green Light], held the Demon Subduing Pestle in both hands, learned the mantras in her sea of consciousness, and chanted the spell. She threw the pestle into the air. The Demon Subduing Pestle emitted golden light and flew around the hill in a circle, knocking away the white bones that had originally rushed towards her. The white bones screamed silently in pain when illuminated by the golden light, and turned into powder.
I saw a half-human, half-skeleton figure standing on the hill, holding a scepter in his bone hand. He was muttering something, and finally he shouted loudly and threw the scepter towards the demon-subduing pestle.
The eyes of the skull on the scepter continued to emit black air. When it hit the demon-subduing pestle, there was a "clang" sound, and a wave of air spread out in all directions. A large number of trees under the hill fell down, and the demon-subduing pestle was wrapped in thick black air.
This half-human, half-skeleton creature knew that the highest level of cultivators who could enter this secret realm was the Golden Core Stage. He knew that with his own cultivation level, which was comparable to that of a human cultivator in the Out-of-Body Stage, he could easily kill this cultivator in seconds. However, the Demon-Subduing Pestle gave him a sense of intimidation, as if it was naturally suppressing him.
He should have stopped it when he saw Gu Yuehe's magical weapon just now, but he was trying to identify the golden light emitted by the weapon. He had never seen such golden light before. Only when he saw the dissipated white bones did he realize the power of the golden light.
Now he just hoped that the female cultivator’s cultivation level was too low to make the Demon-Subduing Pestle effective.
Gu Yue was still reciting obscure spells intermittently, pinching the magic formula, and directing the Demon Subduing Pestle to get rid of the black air, but she didn't expect that the black air tightly wrapped around the Demon Subduing Pestle.
After a series of actions, Gu Yue felt that her spiritual power was insufficient. She gritted her teeth, recited the spell, took out two Qi-boosting pills and swallowed them. It seemed that Bai Gu's cultivation was not low!
Gu Yue thought about it and recalled the Demon Subduing Pestle. The Demon Subduing Pestle was still wrapped in dark energy. The Skeleton Scepter flew over closely following the Demon Subduing Pestle. Gu Yue seized the opportunity and slapped out with one palm while summoning the strange fire. A strange fire jumped out joyfully, passed over the Demon Subduing Pestle, and went straight to the scepter.
The strange fire came with great force, and the scepter had no time to escape. The skull was licked by the strange fire. The skull let out a sharp scream, stopped moving forward, and turned to throw itself towards the half-human, half-skeleton. The half-human, half-skeleton subconsciously caught it with his bone hand, and the strange fire took the opportunity to climb onto the bone hand.
The strange fire that could burn away all the evil demons in the world burned the bones. The half-human, half-skeleton creature made a loud bang and wrapped the hand bones with black air before extinguishing the strange fire.
Gu Yue let the Demon Subduing Pestle float in the air. She used the strange fire to remove the black air from it. After being calcined and tempered by the strange fire, the golden light emitted by the Demon Subduing Pestle became more dazzling. Without Gu Yue's control, it automatically emitted a beam of golden light at the half-human, half-skeleton.
The half-man, half-skeleton man had just extinguished the strange fire. He could feel the power of the strange fire. It could not only burn his bones, but also burn his soul.
This skeleton is already useless to begin with, and if it is damaged again, it will be even more useless. Now the flesh and blood only grow above the chest, and I don’t know if it will be enough in the future.
