Chapter 139: Divine Bones, Kill and You Die

Let's go, Aodaili, let's go meet him again.

After Aodaili learned the spell, Lu Xun prepared to act.

After he and Aodaili went through that ordeal, more than three hours passed.

No way, Lu Xun himself is more enduring, and upgrading Aodaili's half-spirit body also took a lot of time.

The students in the Blood Killing Formation now have blood temperatures exceeding seventy degrees.

At such high blood temperature, an ordinary person would have already seen their great-grandmother.

Fortunately, the students inside are all at the Fourth Realm.

Even for Fourth Realm Immortal Cultivators, a blood temperature of around seventy degrees is not a big problem.

They can use spiritual power to barely hold on for a while.

If it goes higher or lasts a bit longer, the problem becomes serious.

Hmm!

Aodaili learned the spell, and also broke through in Demonic Arts in her Lightning affinity; she was in high spirits, her whole person looked radiant.

She collected everything inside the barrier.

While putting away that bed, upon seeing the fallen red petals on it, her fair face involuntarily flushed again.

Such an expression gave her a faint air of yandere.

Someone.

Lu Xun's attention was drawn outside.

Only see, at the lighthouse, a figure was flung out backwards.

Another Fourth Realm student arrived.

It was still an acquaintance of Lu Xun's, Wang Ping.

As Wang Ping was blown away, a magical attack struck Blood Mire, which Blood Mire shattered with a punch.

"This guy has lost his Blood Armor, his defense greatly weakened, Aodaili, wait for the right moment to cast the spell—I'll finish him!"

Lu Xun said in a low voice.

Okay, Lu.

Aodaili finally put away everything.

After experiencing the most intimate relationship, she now appears much more docile in front of Lu Xun.

What? They're all trapped inside?

Yes, except for Lu Xun, everyone is trapped inside; I heard this demon clan is about to reach the Fifth Realm.

What?!!!?

Meanwhile, Wang Ping received news that shocked him greatly.

All the Fourth Realm students who came earlier to attack the lighthouse are now trapped in the Blood Killing Formation.

Only Lu Xun and a Western woman escaped the disaster.

And that Blood Demon, whose strength is off the charts, is about to reach the Fifth Realm!

This news left Wang Ping somewhat unable to hold himself together.

Lu Xun, where did he go?

Wang Ping asked the surrounding students.

These students had previously followed Lu Xun all the way here; during the time Lu Xun and Aodaili were entwined, they had already cleared out all the foreign beings in this underground city.

Blood Mire is also a ruthless character, letting those foreign beings be slaughtered by them, yet not leaving the Blood Killing Formation even a bit.

Actually, it's mainly because Lu Xun's earlier attack destabilized the Blood Killing Formation somewhat, and with the students inside frantically struggling, he must stabilize the formation.

"He must have lost and fled; where else could he go?"

A student from Wanliu sneered.

This is a student who was with Wei Guangyao.

Who said I ran away?

A faint voice sounded.

Lu Xun!

The student who had just sneered, upon seeing Lu Xun, was frightened and instinctively stepped back two paces.

Lu Xun's earlier ferocity, they all witnessed it.

Oh, Aodaili, where did you go?

Mina sidled up to Aodaili, staring at her repeatedly.

A woman's intuition told her that Aodaili was different in some way.

Junior, are you alright?

Seeing Lu Xun, Wang Ping smiled.

Fine, seniors, why are you guys so few now?

Lu Xun noticed that Wang Ping's entourage had fewer people.

Previously, their team had eight people; now only four remain.

"We were attacked by foreign beings, scattered, and after great difficulty we found the lighthouse; I wanted to come to the eighteenth layer to see if we could take the underground city—this is Qiao'er, a student from Aurora Academy, whom we met on the road."

Wang Ping briefly explained the situation, then introduced the foreigners beside him.

That is a straight-nosed Northern European, not studying at the same magic academy as Aodaili.

Qiao'er nodded slightly at Lu Xun, then unconsciously glanced at Aodaili.

Aodaili's looks are already extremely beautiful in the eyes of Easterners.

In the eyes of Westerners, she is even more beautiful, like an angel.

「Junior apprentice brother, this demon is too strong; even a few more Fourth Realm cultivators wouldn't be a match for him. Do you have any good ideas? 」

After exchanging pleasantries, Wang Ping got down to business.

In just a short time of combat, Xue Ming had become strong enough to make him despair.

「Senior apprentice brother, we... 」

Lu Xun raised his hand and set up a soundproof barrier, then spoke softly.

Although his strength had greatly increased, facing Xue Ming, a half-step Fifth Realm cultivator, Lu Xun did not become overconfident.

In fact, they had taken advantage.

Because Xue Ming had nothing besides himself.

He didn't even have a decent weapon.

The blood armor that Xue Ming previously used to withstand damage was also forged by him using some demonic secret technique.

However, on the Ancient Starry Sky Road, nobles of the demon race like Xue Ming often possess luxurious equipment.

Whether weapons or armor, they are custom-made, and he also has many trump cards.

「Junior apprentice brother, I didn't expect you to be so proficient in formations—great! Xi Er and I can cooperate with you. 」

Wang Ping's eyes lit up upon hearing Lu Xun's plan.

After discussing the strategy, Lu Xun and the four of them all charged toward the lighthouse, but stopped at a place not too near nor too far from it.

Immediately afterward, Aodaili and Qiao Er began chanting in unison.

They were preparing a big move.

Lu Xun then approached the lighthouse even closer; before he arrived, his sword arrived first.

The flying swords launched an attack from all directions.

Wang Ping, meanwhile, went to the other side, waiting for an opportunity to act.

Upon seeing Lu Xun, Xue Ming's formerly careless face showed a hint of wariness.

In his eyes, the other Fourth Realm students in the secret realm were not worth mentioning.

Except for Lu Xun,

Lu Xun is clearly only Third Realm, yet the threat he poses is greater than that of a Fourth Realm cultivator.

This caused Xue Ming to regard Lu Xun as an opponent of equal standing.

「Ding ding ding~」

Lu Xun's flying swords were all blocked by Xue Ming, unable to pose any threat whatsoever.

Nevertheless, Lu Xun continued to manipulate his flying swords to launch attacks.

While they were fighting, a fierce wind sprang up around them.

Numerous tornadoes were forming.

This was Xi Er's doing.

He is a wind mage.

And as Aodaili chanted, a huge thundercloud silently formed in the sky above the Blood Killing Formation.

「Let's see if you can move. 」

Lu Xun snorted coldly.

Mages often have some astonishingly powerful ultimate moves; in pure power, they can even exceed the mage's own strength.

But they have an obvious flaw: the chanting time is too long.

Such an ultimate move may pose no threat to Xue Ming, but the Blood Killing Formation below might not be able to withstand it.

Especially, given that Lu Xun knows the weakness of the Blood Killing Formation.

Sure enough, as the two powerful magics took shape, Xue Ming sensed the threat and could hardly sit still.

He flickered and attacked Aodaili.

「I've been waiting for you! 」

Lu Xun didn't even try to block him; he fiercely unleashed a fireball aimed at the Blood Killing Formation.

On the other side, Wang Ping also turned into a stream of light, attacking a point of the Blood Killing Formation.

There, exactly where Lu Xun saw the formation's eye through his God's Eye of Illusion-Breaking.

This Blood Killing Formation is extraordinarily intricate; its eyes are scattered, with several locations.

「Boom! 」

The Xue Ming who had just rushed out had to turn back, first shattering Lu Xun's fireball, then blocking Wang Ping's attack.

Seeing the situation was unfavorable, Wang Ping hastily retreated, not engaging Xue Ming in combat.

Xue Ming had no time to pursue, because Lu Xun's attack came again.

At the same time, the Blood Killing Formation shuddered.

The students inside were also attacking.

Since the battle began, Xue Ming, who had been unusually dominant, started to become flustered.

「This is what they call 'two fists can't fight four hands.'」

Lu Xun seized the initiative for the first time.

Xue Ming's Blood Killing Formation has now become his weakness.

Of course, seizing that weakness is not easy either.

Besides Lu Xun's God's Eye of Illusion-Breaking, an ordinary Illusion-Breaking Eye cannot see through the method to break the Blood Killing Formation.

「Wind Dragon Twister! 」

Finally, Xi'er's ultimate move finished brewing.

He pointed his wand, and several tornadoes rumbled toward the Blood Killing Formation.

"Thunderstorm!"

Aodaili activated at the same time.

"Boom—"

Within that mass of thunder in the sky, dense lightning frenziedly smashed down like raindrops, smashing toward the Blood Killing Formation.

"Now let's see how you defend!"

Lu Xun started watching the show.

While watching the show, he also added some difficulty for Xuemie, firing dense fireballs.

With so many attacks, Xuemie, a warrior-type blood clan member, absolutely couldn't block them all.

It looked like the Blood Killing Formation was about to be breached like that.

Xuemie violently shoved his hand into his own chest and forcibly tore out a piece of bone.

He opened his mouth and spat out a blood arrow, striking the bone.

The next second, a strange wave spread out.

Then he saw that the various attacks aimed at the Blood Killing Formation actually vanished instantly.

Yes, that's exactly neutralization.

Whether it was lightning, storms, Lu Xun's fireballs, or Wang Ping's attacks, none could get near; they simply vanished into thin air.

Even Lu Xun's flying sword, upon approaching, would instantly disappear, as if melted away.

"What is this!!"

Lu Xun's gaze narrowed.

This guy's bone also has such a miraculous effect?

"I'll tell you after you die!"

Xuemie's voice rang in Lu Xun's ear.

He ruthlessly rushed over, preparing to deal with Lu Xun first.

"Boom!"

The fourth-grade spirit talisman that Lu Xun wore, which activated automatically, held for only a second before shattering with a boom.

Xuemie's handsome face appeared in his field of vision.

And as Lu Xun saw Xuemie, a terrifying will surged forward, seeking to crush Lu Xun's spirit.

This is Xuemie's will.

"Hmph!"

Lu Xun showed no weakness, engaging in a head-on clash of wills with him.

Just then,

Aodaili spat out the string of incantation she had long prepared.

Xuemie's body stalled again.

With his strength, he could break free by force in just a few seconds.

But in a clash of experts, a few seconds are enough to decide life or death.

"You're doomed!"

Lu Xun's attack erupted again.

This time the erupted attack was even more ferocious.

And Xuemie no longer had any blood armor to withstand damage.

"How could this be?"

Just as Lu Xun thought he could finish Xuemie in one go, the situation once again exceeded his expectations.

After all his attacks landed on Xuemie, they vanished like a stone sinking into the sea.

At this moment, even Lu Xun couldn't help but feel a bit dazed.

"How could the might of a divine bone be shaken by a mere mortal like you!"

Xuemie sneered.

Demonic energy surged on his body, already about to break free from the spell's bonds.

"Divine Bone!"

"Xuemie was pointing at that bone, right!"

That bone was clearly torn from his own body.

Could it be that this guy, to avoid being taken by human experts, forcibly fused the divine bone onto himself?

This Xuemie is a total ruthless person!

"Just a broken bone, even if it truly is a divine bone, so what!!"

Lu Xun erupted again.

"Boom!"

Blazing flames suddenly burst forth from his body.

This is Phoenix True Flame.

As soon as the Phoenix True Flame appeared, it swept toward Xuemie.

However, even the Phoenix True Flame cannot approach Xuemie; it will simply vanish.

Even so, the area around Xuemie still sizzled from the burning.

This shows that the Phoenix True Flame is effective, it just needs time.

Blood Shadow's eyes were full of mockery.

Because he could break free of the spell any moment.

The divine bone protected him, preventing any injury.

So Lu Xun unleashed so many attacks, yet the spell still wasn't dispelled.

"Chaotic Power, break for me!"

Lu Xun was provoked by Blood Shadow's gaze, directly coating his longsword with Chaotic Power and slashing at Blood Shadow.

"Overestimating oneself!"

Blood Shadow sneered.

The next second, Blood Shadow broke free of the spell's control and threw a punch.

Lu Xun neither dodged nor evaded, choosing to clash head-on with Blood Shadow.

"Boom!"

In the violent collision, Blood Shadow's body was flung backward.

"How could this be?"

Blood Shadow's eyes were filled with astonishment.

With his strength, no one could match him head-on.

Whether it was the ten Fourth Realm cultivators before, or Wang Ping and the others now.

Any one of them could not withstand a single punch from Blood Shadow.

But now, he was actually sent flying by Lu Xun's strike.

"That is..."

At that moment, Blood Shadow saw that ahead of Lu Xun there seemed to be half a body.

That body... looked very familiar.

He abruptly lowered his head to look.

Only then did he discover that his lower half had vanished at some point.

In fact, he now consisted only of a head plus half an upper body.

Lu Xun's slash had cut his body diagonally.

"How is this possible? This is impossible, the divine bone can transfer all damage to me, I won't die, absolutely won't die...."

Blood Shadow panicked, unwilling to accept this.

He is a Blood Demon.

Among the demon race, a Blood Demon can at least cultivate to the Six or Seven Realms.

His future holds infinite possibilities.

Even if he was accidentally captured by some human powerhouses a few years ago, he still did not give up.

In this place devoid of any Dark Energy, within just a few years he broke through to the Fourth Realm and even stepped a foot into the Fifth Realm.

With his help, the demon race's strength in the secret realm likewise advanced greatly.

Then he plotted all of this.

His purpose was, first, to use the blood of some geniuses to break through to the Fifth Realm, even the Sixth Realm.

Second, to use another batch of geniuses to exchange for his own freedom.

His conspiracy originally had a high chance of success.

But after encountering Lu Xun, everything came to an abrupt halt.

In extreme reluctance and disbelief, Blood Shadow's head heavily fell to the ground.

"No matter if you are human or divine, as long as you are killed you will die!"

Lu Xun's voice sounded.

As his voice rang out, a wave of fire swept over, burning Blood Shadow to ash.
