Chapter 577 Kill, Who Are You, Dragons and Snakes Rise from the Land, Situ Zhaixing, Astonishing Wisdom!
He emerged from the fog.
From blurry to clear, the thudding footsteps echoed in Li Shiran and Duan Zhenliu's hearts like sledgehamers.
Before even approaching, the two felt as if thunderstruck, and a chill rushed up from their tailbones to their Heavenly Spirits.
A subtle yet powerful ghostly aura spread along the ground, enveloping the entire long street.
Duan Zhenliu clenched his teeth tightly; as he watched the approaching figure, his large hand firmly grasped the golden battle axe behind him, not daring to strike for a long time.
A strong and evil gaze fixated dead on him in various places.
"Hehe, didn't think I'd catch two big fish today, so elated I am that two disciples of Heavenly Star Sect have come to this small Yang City."
"I, Black Jade Bone, have seen you two, Fellow Taoists."
The black-robed ghost wandered its gaze between the two, and seemingly recalling something, finally settled on Li Shiran.
"Unexpectedly, it's truly effortless after long efforts - the Black Jade Buddha actually resides on your person, Fairy; this truly saves me much effort."
"It seems today is my lucky day, Black Jade Bone. If I'm not mistaken, this Fairy should belong to the Li Family of the Heavenly Star Sect."
"The peculiar scent from the Pisces Jade Pendant of the Li Family cannot escape my spiritual sense."
The sight of Li Shiran made the black-robed ghost's face light up with joy.
Getting closer now, Li Shiran could see a sinister black compass in the hands of the black-robed ghost pointing straight at her.
Thinking of the Black Jade Buddha mentioned by the ghost in front of her, she suddenly recalled an odd black Buddha statue she obtained among the many war trophies she collected when she killed the black-haired ghost that obliterated the Yi Family, and her expression changed drastically.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Why would the Ghost Worship Sect assign someone as powerful as you to a small place like Yang City?"
"You... you are not an ordinary Near True Monarch!"
Duan Zhenliu's eyes almost burst with rage, struggling to break free from the constraints binding him, but to no avail for a long time.
He had hidden his cultivation to lure out the big fish of the Ghost Worship Sect in Yang City, but instead, he had hooked a giant shark, now feeling a thick regret filling his chest.
Initially, he had just wanted to show off in front of his martial sister, Li Shiran, secretly intercepting her plea for help and choosing to go alone, but now he not only endangered his martial sister but also put himself in jeopardy.
"Foolish, you ultimately lack clever strategies; your so-called plans have already been thoroughly seen through by me."
Black Jade Bone would naturally not admit that he was attracted by the noisy Yang City during the night without sleep; he immediately chuckled smugly.
But tonight seems to be his lucky night, having ventured in not long ago when he discovered his compass sensing the Black Jade Buddha had some activity.
The Blood Jade Compass is an exotic treasure given by the Sect Hierarch; if the Black Jade Buddha is within a thousand meters, it will be sensed, even if hidden in a storage ring; thus, feeling the compass's anomaly, he followed its guidance here.
The cause of all this was something Yi Chen never imagined—his multi-faceted strategy turned out to be so powerful that it caught everyone off guard...
"You are indeed formidable, what a strategy of 'mending the pen after the sheep are lost'; I nearly fell for your trick."
"Wait a moment, Fairy; it's been a long time since I've tasted such delicacy."
"Don't be frightened; the one from the Yi Family that slipped through the net has been taken care of by my two brothers, and I believe you shall meet again soon."
"This time, I, Black Jade Bone, have won again!"
The voice of Black Jade Bone was calm and elegant; as the footsteps approached, his black robe gradually parted, and the ghostly aura dissipated, revealing a blood-red skeleton underneath, the deep eye sockets glowing with green ghostly fire, extraordinarily captivating in the dark night.
The parted black robe suddenly covered Duan Zhenliu, turning into black smoke that burrowed into his orifices, followed by the horrifying sound of chewing that made Li Shiran's scalp tingle.
Duan Zhenliu's mouth was wide open, like a dying fish, his movement instantly frozen; at this moment, the blood-red skeleton appeared more vivid, both solid and illusory, slowly walking up to Duan Zhenliu, merging into one with him.
The Elder Brother of the Heavenly Star Sect's Inner Sect, the future True Monarch Seed, died without resistance on the streets of Yang City, consumed entirely by a True Monarch Evil Spirit.
Witnessing all of this, Li Shiran's heart was filled with indescribable terror; she thought her Taoist heart was as firm as iron, but she never imagined that in the face of real life and death, she couldn't help but feel her hands and feet go cold, trembling woefully.
At this moment, suddenly, from within Yang City, a furious shout resounded, causing Black Jade Bone, who had just consumed Duan Zhenliu, to abruptly change his expression!
A powerful force burst from the center of Yang City.
"Quack! Two little ghosts dare to ambush me, totally disregarding me!"
"Sun and Moon in the Sky!"
Yi Chen turned around, unleashed his fist, radiating boundless divine light, and terrifying Fist Intent swept through the void, instantly illuminating two black-robed ghost shadows lurking behind him!
It was as if that divine move was a heavenly pardon; the evil spirits and demons had nowhere to hide, a direct blast incinerating the two ghost shadows to ashes!
At this moment, a robust woman leading a young girl with a bun hairstyle, each carrying two jugs of ancient Han health wine, emerged from around the corner, staring at the suddenly swelling figure of Yi Chen, transforming into a humanoid ferocious beast. The winter matron, who once chased Yi Chen with a rolling pin, instantly dropped the wine jug from her hands.
In this instant, Yi Chen's murderous presence was overflowing, his expression indifferent, his cold eyes glancing over her, turning into a blur and dashing towards another area of Yang City.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a robust figure plummeted from the sky, smashing through the ghosts, and directly interposed between Li Shiran and 'Duan Zhenliu'.
"Brother Yi, be careful! This person is not an ordinary True...."
The ghostly demonic divine abilities deployed by Black Jade Bone were broken, and the suppressing force on Li Shiran was immediately lifted; she couldn't help but frantically transmit her voice to Yi Chen.
Meanwhile, 'Duan Zhenliu's' body shell burst open, and a blood-colored skeleton surrounded by terrifying ghostly air shot towards Yi Chen with an increase in the dark energy around the finger bones turning eerily blood red, carrying a nauseating stench, piercing straight towards Yi Chen's skull.
"It doesn't matter, such purity is not even worth my caution!"
At this moment, Yi Chen's body was engulfed in horrifying Extreme Origin Intense Flame, his gaze dominantly shifted aside, quietly interrupting Li Shiran's warning!
A strong and powerful feeling instantly enveloped Li Shiran's heart!
At this time, to the left of Yi Chen's body, a ghost shadow's eyes were about to split, its skeletal claws clash madly with the Extreme Origin emitted by the Taoist's palm, bursting forth waves of terror like that of a jellyfish!
Black Jade Bone felt like his skull was about to explode, he wanted to launch a surprise attack, but was unable to advance an inch, wanting to withdraw and escape, but a bizarre suction directly sucked him in, struggling fruitlessly.
Looking at the man in front of him, majestic like a deity, even the ghost fires in Black Jade Bone's eyes suddenly jumped!
At this moment, just like that moment!
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Heavenly Star Sect doesn't have someone like you, why would a mere Yang City have such an expert like you, you must have been hiding your strength all along, this is a trap!"
"You...you're not an ordinary True Monarch!"
"Who exactly are you!"
Black Jade Bone, just like the late Duan Zhenliu, cried out in fear!
"Old man, you're much stronger than those two trash earlier!"
Yi Chen turned his head to face the blood-colored skeleton, bearing a grin, a row of steel teeth under the starlight just emitted a white star.
Having said that, he suddenly grasped forward, and a dense and crisp sound of bone cracking consecutively rose up.
In Li Shiran's horrified expression, Yi Chen's aura suddenly changed dramatically, becoming frenzy-like crazy!
"Quack"
"But a slightly stronger trash is still trash!"
"If it's trash, it should die! Resist, struggle, keep amusing me!"
Looking back at the scene, a cold smile has already appeared on the face of the World-Shaking Pure Yang.... followed by pain, wails, and the sight of bone fragments filling the sky!
Because Yi Chengzi is just this capable, this strong, damn it!
Terrifying masculine power erupted, Yi Chen slapped and lifted off Black Jade Bone's skull, then furiously grabbed, smashed, kicked, and stomped his body!
"F*ck, motherf*cker, sneak attack! Not following the code of martial arts! You try to rival me, Yi Chengzi, do you even have the strength?"
"!@#$"
Amidst the sky full of bone powder, watching Yi Chen's unique combat style, for a moment Li Shiran's mind was like the blown Heavenly Spirit of Black Jade Bone, crashing into a long halt.
...
...
In Great Qian, tens of thousands of li away from Yang City, the battle at Wuxiong City was intense!
"Once upon a time, three thousand calamities in heaven, and another five hundred years in the mortal realm."
"With the sword in hand cutting through purple lightning, in the furnace, pill flames rise to the grey smoke."
"I have realized, Star Cloud Divine Sword Scripture, breakthrough!"
As he spoke, surrounded by nine ghost shadows and bathed in blood, a handsome Taoist suddenly looked up, a hint of joy flashing through his eyes.
"True Blood Sect harms all living beings, it deserves punishment!"
"Kill!"
The Taoist, with a handsome and extraordinary appearance, formed his fingers into a sword, in an instant gathering starlight into the sword, a sky full of Sword Qi suddenly descended from the sky, wielding massive star power sweeping away everything.
The movements of the nine ghost shadows instantly stiffened, a look of despair flashing simultaneously in their pupils!
"How is it possible, my sect has chased you down three times, and you've broken through at the decisive moment three times!"
"This time I led eight True Person Realm experts setting up a net of heaven and earth to encircle and kill you, yet you broke into True Monarch Realm!"
"Merely half a year's time, Situ Zhaixing from the first level of True Person Realm directly into True Monarch, you... what kind of monster are you!"
Looking at the terrifying Star Sword descending from the sky, the leading ghost shadow let out a desperate roar!
He was unwilling!
"I refuse to accept this!"
"Ah!"
A scream echoed, the leading ghost shadow man's protective ghostly qi could no longer hold up, becoming the ninth blood lotus on the ground!
Under the starlight, the handsome Taoist sheathed his sword, kicked the black snake's head on the ground, his lips curled into a cold smile:
"You lot, clad in scales and armors, how could you possibly understand the astonishing wisdom of me, Situ Zhaixing!"
