Chapter 591 - Humans and Beasts Joining Forces
These white-bone corpse demons were relatively weak, many being only in the Core Formation realm. They stood no chance against a Divine Nascent realm powerhouse like Li Yao and were utterly powerless to resist him.
“Kill!”
“Kill them!”
The others also sprang into action. Powerful qi erupted from them, shaking the very heavens and earth as they charged at the white-bone corpse demons.
Chaos erupted at the foot of the ghost mountain.
The clash between the crowd and the white-bone corpse demons created a spectacular scene—flashing sabers and swords, dazzling cultivation techniques, and continuous, terrifying explosions.
“Ignore these minions. I’m sure someone is creating these white-bone corpse demons. Among the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect’s nine palaces, only the Underworld Palace is capable of this. The evil cult’s members must have infiltrated those who entered the Hidden Dragon Island.” A cold light flickered in Li Yao’s eyes.
The sudden upheaval on the ghost mountain, the awakening of vengeful spirits, and the formation of these white-bone corpse demons all pointed to a hidden manipulator.
The methods used were characteristic of the evil cult, suggesting that they had embedded themselves among the thousands who had come to the Hidden Dragon Island. Specifically, it seemed to be remnants of the Underworld Palace, one of the nine palaces of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect.
“Charge, we must kill the evil cult’s remnants and neutralize the other party’s cultivation technique to put an end to this situation. Otherwise, the white-bone corpse demons will be endless!” Li Yao’s expression was cold and grim as he shoved his palm out, sweeping through the white-bone corpse demons charging ahead. He formed a path toward the top of the ghost mountain.
But just as he was about to rush forward, a rumbling noise suddenly rang out.
A terrifying aura descended. Three thirty-foot-tall white-bone corpse demons came charging down, emanating incomparably powerful auras.
Those auras weren’t much weaker than Li Yao’s.
These three white-bone corpse demons were at the half-step Divine Nascent realm. Li Yao’s expression darkened.
One of the white-bone corpse demons fixed its gaze on Li Yao and taunted, “Come meet your end, kid!”
The demon’s skeletal hand reached into the void, and a massive, ghastly white hand materialized in front of Li Yao, pressing down and causing the air to crackle.
“Break!” Li Yao shouted. His regal qi erupted as he punched, shaking the heavens, blowing the large white bone hand swiping at him into smithereens.
After these three half-step Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demons appeared, several eight and nine-revolution Golden Core realm white-bone corpse demons rushed down, taking on Qiu Yuexin, Gongsun Zhong, Xuanyuan Po, and the other nine-revolution Golden Core realm supreme experts.
All of a sudden, a terrifying huge battle completely broke out.
......
Chen Fan was very fast. The Wings of Rain Dragon tore through the air as he streaked across the sky with a rumble like a falling meteorite, producing a thunderous noise as he raced toward the ghost mountain.
While the ghost mountain was visible from anywhere on Hidden Dragon Island, the actual distance was immense. Chen Fan traveled for a long time, encountering many others also heading toward the ghost mountain.
Apart from human martial artists, he also saw countless powerful demonic beast groups. They had emerged from their hideouts, making their way toward the mountain as well.
They had also sensed the changes on the Hidden Dragon Island and were uneasy. They wanted to go to the ghost mountain and wipe out the source of their discomfort.
From afar, Chen Fan saw a shocking battle taking place at the foot of the ghost mountain. Numerous corpse demons were locked in a fierce struggle with Li Yao and others.
Despite being outnumbered, the human martial artists were all at the nine-revolution Golden Core realm. Despite the white-bone corpse demons’ numerical superiority, they couldn’t withstand Li Yao and the others’ assault.
“White-bone corpse demons. How could this happen?” Chen Fan was taken aback by the sudden emergence of so many white-bone corpse demons on the ghost mountain.
These demons were shrouded in an overwhelming death qi, as if empowered by some dark force, descending majestically from the mountain.
Countless cracking noises echoed continuously, creating a terrifying sound that seemed to envelop everything.
“Who awakened the slumbering souls and turned them into vengeful and evil spirits to form these white-bone corpse demons? Is there a demonic path cultivator amongst us?” Chen Fan’s eyes flickered, and he increased his speed further.
In the distance, a massive clash erupted between the white-bone corpse demons and a newly arrived army of demonic beasts. Both sides were ferocious, resulting in immediate and heavy casualties.
The human martial artists and the demonic beasts seemed to have joined forces to deal with these white-bone corpse demons.
Chen Fan finally arrived at the ghost mountain. From the sky, he grabbed at the void, summoning the Purgatory Divine Halberd. He slashed down violently from above. A halberd light of death instantly blasted a large swathe of white-bone corpse demons, killing them.
Those who had been surrounded by the demons and were on the verge of being torn apart saw their attackers vanish in a flash. They immediately saw Chen Fan in the air and cried out in joy.
“It’s Chen Fan, Chen Fan is here!”
Chen Fan didn’t spare them a glance. He pressed on, climbing the ghost mountain. No white-bone corpse demon could withstand his advance; they fell before him effortlessly.
On the mountainside, Li Yao was locked in a fierce battle with the three half-step Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demons, producing earth-shaking noises. The fight was intense, with earth-shaking sounds as Li Yao gradually drove the demons back, their bones splintering under his overwhelming strength.
Chla!
Suddenly, a spear flew over, blasting a half-step Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demon on Li Yao’s left side and blowing it to bits instantly.
Li Yao also sent out two punches that landed on the two remaining white-bone corpse demons. The terrifying force turned them into smithereens.
Turning to see who had intervened, Li Yao spotted Chen Fan.
“What’s going on?” Chen Fan asked directly.
Li Yao replied with a grave expression, “Some remnants from the Underworld Palace have infiltrated the island, summoned dead spirits, and created this army of white-bone corpse demons. I’m afraid they plan to wipe out all of us in one go.”
Chen Fan nodded inwardly, confirming his suspicion. The presence of demonic path cultivators on Hidden Dragon Island was as he had feared.
Alas, this was unavoidable.
After all, it was likely that some people would be killed while on their way to the Hidden Dragon Island and have their nomination tokens stolen by the demonic beings. No one would know if they mixed in with the crowd.
“We must push forward and eliminate the source of this demonic technique,” Li Yao said. “Otherwise, no matter how many white-bone corpse demons we defeat, they will keep coming.”
“Alright, let’s charge up together, then!” Chen Fan nodded, a ferocious light flickering in his eyes.
