Chapter 1866: Bone Puppets and Stone Altar
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
What hard bones! And that Yin Fiend power is extremely concentrated, as if it has already fused with the bones themselves!"Be careful! Their bones have been tempered by Yin Fiend, extremely tough!" Luo Qingchen immediately warned, while shifting to the side to avoid another follow-up claw from the Bone Puppet, countering with a slash at its ribs!
"Heavenly Origin Sword Technique - Stars Falling Like Rain!"
Almost at the same time, Lin Wan’er moved! Her figure graceful, long sword waving, the dark blue Sword Light like dense raindrops, enveloping the other two approaching Bone Puppets!
"Puff puff puff!"
The sword rain containing the vitality power of Linglong Grass struck the Bone Puppets, producing a sound like melting snow. The gray-black bone surfaces emitted wisps of black smoke where hit by the sword rain, their movements noticeably slowed somewhat. Clearly, this power containing pure vitality had a natural restraining effect on them.
However, these Bone Puppets seemed to feel no pain, fearless of death. Even when struck by the sword rain, obstructed in their actions, they still roared (though they had no vocal cords, the fluctuation of soul fire transmitted an emotion akin to roaring), waving their Bone Claws, crazily pouncing at Lin Wan’er.
"Oh no, oh no! Don’t come over, don’t come over!" Su Xiaowan hid in the narrow protection circle formed by Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan’er, screaming in fright. But she wasn’t idle either, frantically grabbing a handful of Talismans from her Storage Bag and throwing them forward without a second thought!
"Fireball Talisman! Ice Spike Talisman! Vajra Talisman... uh, this one seems to be for defense... never mind! Go, go, go! By the order of urgency!"
Multicolored lights exploded among the Bone Puppets! Fireball Talismans detonated, leaving scorch marks on the gray-black bones; Ice Spike Talismans struck, covering them in a thin layer of frost, slightly slowing their movements; as for that Vajra Talisman... it floated leisurely onto a Bone Puppet’s forehead, a faint golden light flashed, seeming... to make its head harder?
"..." Luo Qingchen’s eye twitched slightly, almost amused by his junior sister’s "accurate" support. However, inadvertently, Su Xiaowan’s random throws did have some degree of interference with the Bone Puppets’ actions, buying him and Lin Wan’er some breathing space.
"Not... bad." Luo Qingchen forcedly complimented, his sword momentum changing once again!
Since mere slashing was ineffective, let’s try something else!
"Chaos Sword Technique - Reincarnation Slash!"
The Sword Light containing the Life and Death Reincarnation Realm reappeared! This time, Luo Qingchen’s target was not the bodies of the Bone Puppets, but the scarlet soul fire burning in their eye sockets!
These Bone Puppets were not truly alive; what drove them to move was the soul fire, ignited by Yin Fiend power, filled with violence and grievance! As long as the soul fire was extinguished, these skeleton frames would naturally collapse!
Hiss!
The Reincarnation Sword Light precisely swept past the skull of a Bone Puppet! That Bone Puppet suddenly stiffened, the red light in its eyes flickered violently a few times, as if encountering a nemesis, quickly dimmed, and finally extinguished completely!
Without the support of the soul fire, that tall Bone Puppet collapsed with a crash into pieces of gray-black bone.
"It’s effective!" Luo Qingchen was invigorated, finding the key to dealing with these Bone Puppets!
"Wan’er, attack their heads, extinguish the soul fire!" Luo Qingchen immediately informed Lin Wan’er of his discovery.
Lin Wan’er understood, changing her sword momentum from wide-spread Stars Falling Like Rain to concentrated Sword Light, like a spirit snake leaving its hole, aiming directly at the eye sockets or skull gaps of the Bone Puppets! Her Heavenly Origin Sword Technique contained vitality, which also had a powerful purifying effect on this pure yin soul fire!
Pop!
Another Bone Puppet fell under Lin Wan’er’s precise sword strike, its soul fire extinguished, crashing to the ground.
However, there were a dozen or so Bone Puppets in total! Although Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan’er had found an effective attacking method, these Bone Puppets, during their lifetime, were at least at the Divinity Transformation Realm or higher, and even with only bones and remnant souls left, their reaction speed and combat instincts were still extremely strong. They seemed to also realize that their heads were weak points, instinctively using their arms to protect their heads, and their attacks became more tricky and frenzied!
For a time, Sword Light intertwined, Bone Claws flew around, the sound of metal clashing with bones and bones shattering was endless. Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan’er cooperated seamlessly, one attacking primarily, the other supporting, barely resisting the Bone Puppets’ siege, but the pressure was increasing.
Bai Ling’er was protected by Luo Qingchen behind him, watching the intense battle ahead with extreme anxiety. She also wanted to help, but her internal Dragon Power had only just slightly recovered, unable to support high-intensity combat. She tried to condense Dragon Might, hoping to deter these Bone Puppets like she did the soul shadow leader before, but this time, the effect was negligible.
The soul fires of these Bone Puppets seemed to be firmly bound and controlled by some stronger force, producing a strong resistance to her weak Dragon Might, only slowing their actions for a brief moment before they resumed their frenzy.
"Damn it... why..." Bai Ling’er bit her silver teeth tightly, filled with a sense of helplessness.
Just then, her peripheral vision unintentionally glanced at the massive black stone platform deep inside the hall.
She wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but she felt as the battle progressed, those obscure runes on the stone platform seemed... brighter than before? Also, she faintly sensed that the soul fire in the eye sockets of those Bone Puppets seemed to have some extremely weak, barely existent connection with the stone platform! It was as if the stone platform was the true power source and control core of these Bone Puppets!
"Young Master Luo!" Bai Ling’er hurriedly relayed her discovery to Luo Qingchen, "That stone platform! It seems like it’s connected to those bones!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingchen’s heart stirred! He had already suspected the altar was the core, and Bai Ling’er’s discovery undoubtedly confirmed his suspicions!
These Bone Puppets could not be killed endlessly, and seeing the brilliance of the runes on the stone pillar growing stronger, there might be more troublesome changes coming! They must find a way to destroy the altar or sever its connection to the Bone Puppets!
"Wan’er, Xiaowan, cover me! I’m going to destroy that altar!" Luo Qingchen made a decisive move!
"Alright!" Lin Wan’er agreed without hesitation, her Sword Light suddenly becoming sharper, blocking the Bone Puppets attempting to rush at Luo Qingchen with all her might.
"Huh? Brother Luo, you’re going to charge in? That’s where the most bones are! Be careful!" Although Su Xiaowan was scared, she also understood the seriousness of the situation, pulling out another big handful of Talismans without aiming, hurling them in the direction of the altar, "Watch my Heavenly Maiden Sprinkle Flower Talisman! Blast away you skeleton frames!"
Luo Qingchen hesitated no longer, running the Chaotic Power to its utmost, his figure like a ghost slipping through the gaps of the Bone Puppets, leaving behind afterimages, rushing straight towards the black stone platform deep in the hall!
"Roar!"
Seemingly perceiving Luo Qingchen’s intentions, the few Bone Puppets near the platform immediately abandoned Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan, furiously intercepting Luo Qingchen! At the same time, the runes on that black stone platform suddenly brightened!
Buzz——!
An invisible, ominous energy wave filled with a sense of death and destruction spread from the platform like a tide!
Luo Qingchen, bearing the brunt, felt huge pressure applied to himself, as if his bones were to be crushed, his soul dragged into an endless abyss! The Chaotic Protective Gang Qi fluctuated intensely, emitting groans of being overwhelmed!
The Power of Restriction is strong! This altar truly has problems!
Luo Qingchen gritted his teeth, the Chaos Technique operating frantically, forcibly resisting the terrifying pressure, his speed not only not reduced but increased! He knew he had to destroy the altar before the restriction fully erupted or more Bone Puppets closed in!
"Chaos Sword Technique - Fifth Form - Chaos Return to Origin!"
He concentrated all his power into this single strike! The strongest sword, fused with the vitality of the Nine Nether and the Reincarnation Realm! On the gray Sword Tip, specks of star-light seemed to rotate, emitting an aura of life and death interwoven, a terrifying power that extinguished all things!
