Chapter 2254: Skeleton Ghost Shadow

"Quick, use your thunderous means! The aura on its body is becoming even more terrifying; it seems to be recovering its strength!" Seeing the situation earlier, the ancient-looking old man felt a great chill in his heart, but after scanning the skeleton with his spiritual sense, he immediately shouted in shock.

His figure blurred and disappeared, reappearing more than a hundred zhang away. Then, he patted the top of his head with one hand, and a blue glow flew out.

Within the glow, a small figure wreathed in blue light sat cross-legged, its face identical to the old man's.

The moment the small figure appeared, a string of blue round beads flew out from its body.

Each one was no larger than a thumb, but their surfaces were incomparably smooth, and their color was an extremely deep blue.

Under the manipulation of the old man's perfected Nascent Soul secret technique, these round beads flashed and transformed into giant light balls the size of carriage wheels, emitting the sound of wind and thunder as they smashed fiercely toward the giant skeleton.

On the other side, after hearing the old man's words, the black-robed woman's expression changed several times. After gritting her silver teeth, her body suddenly rolled onto the ground, transforming into a bloody mist that submerged into the phantom image of the nine-headed strange snake behind her.

"Boom!" With a sound, the nine heads of the strange snake swayed simultaneously. The heaven and earth origin energy in the abyss surged into its body like a tidal wave, causing its phantom-like body to solidify in an instant.

The strange snake, now possessing a physical form, had skin and scales of five colors, but its nine snake heads were as bright red as blood. Opening its mouths again, nine streams of purple-black defiling flames, several times purer than before, were spat out.

Although the two had not yet seen what offensive means the skeleton would unleash, the heavy, oppressive feeling it gave them was ominous. Unanimously, they both developed a desire to fight to the death.

Although the skeleton had stood up, it did not seem to have truly recovered to normal, and its movements appeared very clumsy.

The dozen or so blue light balls flashed and "boom-boom" struck one after another near the skeleton.

Blue light shone brilliantly, and the rumbling sound was incessant!

The void near the giant skeleton trembled as if the sky were collapsing and the earth cracking, and the energy fluctuations rolled out in all directions like a raging sea.

These light balls looked unremarkable, but each one possessed the force of ten million jin, and their power was great enough to level mountains and split the earth.

The skeleton blocked with its two arm-like forelimbs, but its body shook, and it was forced to retreat a step with every strike of the light balls.

After a dozen or so steps, the invisible wall in front of the skeleton completely collapsed, and its two forelimbs, which had been as crystalline as jade, were also shaken until they were covered in wounds, riddled with countless fine cracks.

Before the skeleton could take any further action, the nine snake-like fire lines also rolled over. After circling it rapidly a few times, they transformed into fire chains, binding the skeleton's body tightly in place.

These purple-black fire chains emitted an unbelievable corrosive aura, instantly branding deep black marks onto the white jade-like skeleton body.

The dozen or so light balls also circled the skeleton, smashing down incessantly.

With the two of them joining forces, this giant skeleton seemed to have a strong tendency to be destroyed on the spot.

Seeing this, the ancient-looking old man and the black-robed woman felt a surge of joy.

Just at this moment, a fluctuation suddenly appeared in the sky above the giant skeleton's head, and a short figure appeared bizarrely.

When the ancient-looking old man and the black-robed woman focused their gaze, they couldn't help but be shocked.

That short figure was none other than the young girl transformed from the Mother of Ming Insects' Primordial Spirit!

Wasn't this woman entangled by Baohua and the other two? How could she appear here?

The old man and the woman felt bitter in their hearts. While continuing to cast spells to trap the skeleton, they became twelve times more cautious toward the young girl.

The young girl's face was clearly several shades paler than before. After appearing, she did not look at the ancient-looking old man or the woman transformed into the strange snake, but instead stared at the motionless skeleton below. After her two eyeballs rolled around, she suddenly opened her mouth and spoke in a language that was very pleasant and nice to hear, but which the old man and the woman could not understand.

Upon hearing this, the slow-moving skeleton suddenly straightened its body, and a layer of white light appeared on its body surface. It forcibly withstood the wild strikes of the blue light balls and ignored the corrosion of the purple-black fire chains. Instead, it slowly raised its head, its two huge eye sockets aimed at the young girl in the air, and spat out the same language, only it was exceptionally low and deep.

The two only exchanged a few sentences. The giant skeleton appeared unhurried, but the young girl's small face sank, and she suddenly revealed an expression of exasperation. Her voice also became exceptionally sharp, as if she were arguing with the skeleton.

Seeing this, the old man and the black-robed woman couldn't help but look at each other, both completely confused.

However, the two naturally took this opportunity to frantically urge their magic power to intensify their attacks on the skeleton.

The blue light balls blurred, their flying speed increasing by more than double, transforming into meteors that danced frantically around the skeleton.

The nine purple-black fire chains trembled, and sharp spikes appeared on their surfaces, piercing deep into the skeleton's body, causing the surface corrosion speed to accelerate at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Of course, to prevent the skeleton and the young girl from suddenly attacking, the ancient-looking old man and the black-robed woman transformed into the strange snake also slid silently toward a further distance.

But much to their surprise, the skeleton did not react to this at all, only continuing to raise its head and converse unhurriedly with the young girl in the air in an unknown language.

Their words were sometimes slow and sometimes fast, their expressions sometimes calm and sometimes active. Looking from afar, it appeared very bizarre!

Suddenly, a ferocious expression appeared on the young girl's face. After raising a finger and pointing at the spot below, a black light shone at her fingertip. After spinning around, it suddenly expanded and became extremely bright, as if it could directly absorb all the light nearby.

The entire seabed abyss rumbled, the nearby heaven and earth origin energy boiled, and a terrifying law power descended.

"Time Law!"

The perfected Nascent Soul sitting on the ancient-looking old man's body changed expression drastically, looking somewhat panicked.

As for the nine-headed strange snake transformed from the black-robed woman, seeing this anomaly, it broke the fire chains in its mouth like a frightened bird, and its massive body shot several hundred zhang further away before stopping its escape light hesitantly.

If it weren't for the fear that being alone might provoke the young girl's murderous intent, the woman would probably have truly fled in one breath.

Seeing the young girl unleash the Time Law, the giant skeleton below shook slightly, and the language it spat out accelerated a bit, as if it revealed a bit of fear toward the young girl.

But the young girl's words became even more urgent.

A moment later, the giant skeleton's words slowed down, as if it had somewhat yielded. After saying something else, it opened its mouth and spat out a giant crystal block as black as ink, the size of a house, which flew slowly toward the high sky.

The young girl finally revealed a happy expression. After the black light at her fingertip retracted, her body sank slightly, and she slowly landed on the crystal block.

Just as the young girl was about to step on the crystal stone, an unexpected scene occurred.

Several limbs of the skeleton below moved simultaneously, suddenly erupting with a terrifying aura that shook off the purple-black fire chains on its body. Then, with lightning speed, it slashed at the nearby void, and those blue light balls that were still circling and flying were instantly slashed into two pieces, rumbling and exploding on their own.

Seeing this, the young girl immediately revealed an expression of extreme shock and anger. The black light at her fingertip shone again, and at the same time, her body blurred, about to disappear above the crystal stone.

But the pitch-black crystal stone below shook violently, transforming into a giant black mouth filled with fangs. With just one bite, it unexpectedly swallowed the young girl, transformed into a ball of crystal light, and flew back, submerging into the giant skeleton's mouth again, disappearing in a flash.

The giant skeleton's body shook, and all its movements stagnated, remaining motionless.

Seeing this, the ancient-looking old man and the black-robed woman in the distance were naturally dumbfounded. But after exchanging a few quick words, one Nascent Soul flashed back into its body, and the other shook, returning to a human figure.

As soon as their escape lights rose, they shot toward the top of the abyss.

After seeing the skeleton easily break their trump cards just now, they knew they were powerless to resist the opponent, so naturally, they could only flee to save their lives.

Perhaps by joining forces with Baohua, Han Li, and the others above, they might have the courage to fight this skeleton again.

However, the moment the two flew out, the skeleton, which had been lying quietly, let out a sound. Points of crystal light gathered in its two huge eye sockets, and two rolling black flames flashed out. With a cackle, it glanced at the two escape lights in the distance, then suddenly raised its head and pointed twice toward the high place.

After the two black lights flashed and disappeared, the law power that had just vanished hummed and descended into the abyss again, perfectly shrouding the fleeing ancient-looking old man and the black-robed woman.

An unbelievable scene occurred.

The ancient-looking old man and the black-robed woman were fleeing for their lives, but they felt the scenery around them blur. When they raised their heads again, they discovered a giant white bone head right in front of them, looking at them with malicious intent.

Under the influence of the Time Law, the two had unknowingly retreated beneath the skeleton without even realizing it.

The two were shocked, and before they could react, the skeleton opened its mouth wide and bit down toward them without ceremony.

In the void above the water's surface, Han Li, transformed into the appearance of a demon, was pulling a palm covered in silver arrays out of the body of a giant human-faced insect wrapped in green sharp armor.

This giant insect was about a hundred zhang long, but the pair of ghost-claw-like forelimbs on its body were incomparably huge, several times larger than its body, looking extremely ferocious.

And just as Han Li pulled his palm out, the giant insect's massive forelimbs let out two "puchi" sounds, rapidly shrinking as if they had leaked air, and in an instant, they transformed into the normal size of its other limbs.

Han Li raised his eyebrows and pulled back his hand to scan it. Finding no bloodstains, he frowned slightly, a trace of doubt flashing across his face.
