Chapter 854 – Killing Bone Demons

“Bone Demons,” said Bai Lan, shielding Long Chen and Lei Ji while he took a step back.

“These Bone Demons may reach the Heavenly Martial Realm level in terms of speed and strength. Long Chen, Lei Ji, be careful. Don’t let them surround you, and watch out for other people ambushing you.”

“First Heavenly Martial Stage?” Long Chen was shocked.

He could indeed sense a powerful but dark and cold energy coming from black-armored skeletons. They were definitely strong, and Long Chen knew that if more than two targeted him, he would surely be threatened.

“There are over twenty Bone Demons. The three of us will stay together. Don’t panic, and at the same time, stop other people from ambushing us.”

At this point, ambushes were possible at any moment. They all wanted the Five Emperors’ treasure after all, and their biggest competitors were the people next to them.

Once they killed the people around them, they would have a much better chance of getting the treasure.

Therefore, even though they had not entered the Black Bone Tower yet, they had to be very careful.

Long Chen, Bai Lan, and Lei Ji moved to the right, putting some distance between them and the group.

Long Chen looked at the entrance of the tower. It was a black abyss and nothing could be seen inside. No one knew what would happen if they entered.

“We will need to get closer to the entrance while we fight. We must not be the first to enter, but we must not let other people get too far ahead of us either. There are seven floors in this tower, and the Five Emperors’ treasure is likely on the top floor. Therefore, we do not need to stand out just yet,” Long Chen said.

In this place, the three of them stood on equal ground and did not differentiate themselves as elders and juniors. Although Bai Lan was the strongest, the other two agreed with what Long Chen had said.

There was no need to take risks until the final moment.

Green flames were alight in the Bone Demons’ eye sockets. An energy that had slumbered for countless years started to wake up within them. In terms of strength, they had reached the First Heavenly Martial Stage. If powerful entities like them were released into the Ten Thousand Nations Territory, they would surely be a formidable force.

They could only be defeated if the peak-level masters of the Ten Thousand Nations Territory, like them, gathered and fought them together.

The awakened Bone Demons all turned to the side. Those bones had not moved for countless years, so even a slight movement caused crackling sounds, along with the clanging of their black armor. These sounds made their scalps go numb.

When those green eyes stared at him, Long Chen felt his scalp go numb.

Those Bone Demons looked at the three different groups. The Long-Bearded Guest was standing with the Five Elements Alliance, so he was lumped with them.

Suddenly, the Bone Demons dispersed and charged madly in three directions!

About five charged at Feng Qing and Wu Lian, six charged at Long Chen, and over ten Bone Demons went to the Five Elements Alliance’s side.

There were a total of two Second Heavenly Martial Stage cultivators on the Five Elements Alliance’s side, one being the Long-Bearded Guest.

Long Chen had no time to think about other people. Six Bone Demons were charging towards them. After the initial awkwardness of unfamiliarity, the Bone Demons quickly entered their battle state. They were as agile as swallows and had extraordinary speed. There was no flesh on their bodies, so they were purely supported by some bizarre energy, making them terrifying!

Beneath the armor were balls of green fire sitting within the bones. The fires burned brightly, releasing a chill similar to the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire.

The six Bone Demons charged at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye.

“I’ll stop four of them. Come help me immediately after you have dealt with your opponents!” Bai Lan made a decision immediately!

Four was the maximum number of Bone Demons he could deal with, hence why he had given those instructions. As for Long Chen and Lei Ji, it would be difficult for them to hold up against two Bone Demons alone, seeing as the Bone Demons were at the First Heavenly Martial Stage!

Long Chen and Lei Ji immediately nodded at his instructions!

This was not the time to be stubborn, but to pick the best strategy!

“Domain!”

Bai Lan unleashed his Second Heavenly Martial Stage domain. A powerful domain instantly surrounded Long Chen. Although it did not affect Long Chen and Lei Ji, the Bone Demons were immediately faced with strong resistance that reduced their speed by half!

“Now!” instructed Bai Lan immediately after his domain expanded.

The six Bone Demons growled menacingly with damaged knives and spears in their hands, and charged at the trio. They injected some strange energy into their knives, allowing them to shoot out terrifying rays of green light when they swung!

It was a critical moment. Long Chen directly activated the Dragon Soul Transformation and the strength of his essence was boosted by ten times! Blood-red essence surged within his body. Bai Lan successfully stopped four Bone Demons, only letting two past him. The two split up and charged at Long Chen and Lei Ji separately!

The one attacking Long Chen was a Bone Demon holding a long spear!

It thrust the spear at Long Chen, summoning a green light on the tip!

Whoosh!

Green flames burned brightly in its eye sockets beneath its helmet. It had been dead for many years, so it was expressionless!

Whoosh!

The stars of the Three Thousand Star Clusters quickly aggregated in front of Long Chen to form a spear!

Long Chen ran and swung the Three Thousand Star Clusters. Countless glints of starlight shone as he exchanged blows with the Bone Demon’s spear!

Ding!

When the Three Thousand Star Clusters’ tip collided with the Bone Demon’s spear, it made an ear-piercing sound!

Long Chen was using a spear technique from the Three Thousand Star Clusters Spear Manual. He was able to use the manual in an incomplete manner. In reality, he already had most of the sections down, except he lacked the power of a domain!

If he had the power of a domain, the Three Thousand Star Clusters Spear Manual’s techniques would be several times stronger, maybe even ten times stronger.

It was an advanced Emperor-tier divine weapon after all; even its material was countless times harder than the Bone Demon’s spear! When the weapons collided with equal force, Long Chen’s Three Thousand Star Clusters shattered the Bone Demon’s spear!

Clang!

Another ear-piercing sound. The Bone Demon’s spear shattered and tiny bits shot in all directions!

“Die!”

Long Chen thrust the Three Thousand Star Clusters into the Bone Demon’s body! But he quickly realized that while the tip of his spear had pierced through the armor, it did not touch the Bone Demon at all!

This thing only has bones; the Three Thousand Star Clusters Spear is useless against it!

Long Chen finally recalled something.

Not only was the Three Thousand Star Clusters useless, the Blood Devouring Domain was useless too because this enemy had no blood.

However, Long Chen was prepared for this. After his Three Thousand Star Clusters failed, the three Emperor Seals were already merged on his right palm. He pressed his palm on the Bone Demon’s chest!

Boom!

There was a dull explosion. The Bone Demon broke down when faced with the Three Thousand Star Clusters and the final strike of the triple Emperor Seals! The green energy dissipated into the air, showing that the Bone Demon was dead!

On the other side, Lei Ji was also almost done with his opponent. Bai Lan was facing four Bone Demons alone, but he showed no signs of losing, even having the upper hand against them. Of course, it would take time for him to kill all four.

“Uncle Bai, send me one more!”

With Long Chen taking another, Bai Lan’s burden lessened. With his Second Heavenly Martial Stage combat abilities, he could surely defeat the three remaining Bone Demons!

Although the Bone Demons were both fast and strong, they stood no chance. Long Chen used the same method to kill the other Bone Demon!

Lei Ji had also long killed his opponent. After Long Chen killed his opponent, he saw that Bai Lan could kill the remaining three in a short time, so he shifted his attention to the other fights!

Twelve Bone Demons had gone to the Five Elements Alliance’s side. The First Heavenly Martial Stage cultivators of the Five Elements Alliance also dealt with one Bone Demon at a time, as they were similar in strength.

As a result, Ancestor Jin and the Long-Bearded Guest had a much larger burden. After Long Chen finished his opponent, they were still very occupied.

The Five Elements Alliance was not doing as well as Long Chen’s squad. However, the situation in the final group shocked Long Chen. Five Bone Demons had gone to their side. Feng Qing was fighting one, and it was no match for him because other than physical strength, it was flawed in all aspects. Wu Lian, with the White Lotus Sword in hand, was fighting four!

The Bone Demons were not strong enough to handle a single strike from her sword, so their heads were chopped off after two slashes!

After their heads were chopped off, the green fire in their bodies also disappeared. The green fires quickly dissipated, showing that they were completely dead.

Wu Lian’s duo finished their opponents faster than Long Chen’s trio did. After Bai Lan killed his opponents, Wu Lian immediately rushed toward the dark entrance of the Black Bone Tower.

Feng Qing clambered to follow her like a lackey!

The black whirlpool stood in front of them. Long Chen, Bai Lan, and Lei Ji looked at each other, then quickly followed her! No one knew what the whirlpool was, but Wu Lian was very bold. She slashed the black whirlpool with her white sword, which emitted white light!

Whoosh!
