Master White Bone looked at the shattered White Bone Sword on the ground with a pained expression, glaring angrily at Xiao Yue.
His gaze fell on the Astonishing Rainbow Sword, and a flash of greed flickered in his eyes.
"Hmph! You dare ruin my treasure and still want to run? If I don't refine you into a furnace cauldron today, I'm not worthy of being called Master White Bone!"
"White Bone Prison, go!"
With a shout, he quickly formed seals with his hands. Under the surging True Essence, the ground trembled once more, and countless broken bones emerged from the earth.
These bones, some human, some from demonic beasts and fierce beasts, were filled with resentment but lacked much spiritual energy compared to those forming the White Bone Sword.
Yet, the bones flew through the air, forming a bowl-shaped cage that covered most of the Lin Mansion.
The dense bones blocked the way, causing Xiao Yue to shiver with both shock and anger.
So many bones—how many people and beasts must have died to accumulate them!
Holding the Astonishing Rainbow Sword, she swept it with a flourish, sending out a brilliant rainbow light.
Her opponent's cultivation was two small realms higher than hers, and with such methods at his disposal, she knew it wasn't the best time to eliminate Master White Bone, despite her desire to do so.
The rainbow light passed through, turning swathes of bones into powder.
The seemingly unbreakable wall of bones was torn open in an instant, leaving a narrow gap.
"Senior Sister, watch out!"
Just as Xiao Yue was about to take Han Yu away, Han Yu's voice suddenly rang in her ears.
Turning her head, she saw Master White Bone controlling the remaining six White Bone Swords to launch a sneak attack.
Master White Bone was cunning and experienced; this round of attacks was not only silent but also incredibly fast.
Xiao Yue inwardly cried out in alarm, hurriedly raising her sword to block.
Beside her, Han Yu, aware of the dire situation, gathered his True Essence and swung his golden spear once more, though much slower than before.
Both attacked simultaneously, but they could only fend off one or two swords, unable to withstand the six-sword assault.
"Thud, thud..."
The sound of sharp swords piercing flesh echoed.
After the sword light passed, both Xiao Yue and Han Yu were pierced through the waist by a White Bone Sword, falling to the ground.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
Sinister evil aura coursed through their bodies, leaving their faces bloodless and their True Essence stagnant.
Seeing this, Master White Bone sneered, walking forward with a smug expression.
His first action was to snatch the Astonishing Rainbow Sword from Xiao Yue's hand.
However, upon seeing the dim sword and the two cracks on it, disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"Hmph, it's just a top-grade ritual artifact with a hint of spiritual essence. Unfortunately, using it to unleash the power of a spiritual artifact greatly damages the sword body. It seems it can only be used once more at most!"
"You two juniors, no wonder you dared to trouble me. But you're too ignorant of your limits!"
"However... you, little girl, are quite beautiful. You still seem to be a virgin, right? Perfect... for my furnace cauldron."
Master White Bone tilted his head, his attention focused on Xiao Yue.
Her beauty made his eyes light up, and he grinned widely.
His gaze roamed over Xiao Yue's graceful figure, and he chuckled, his ugly face becoming even more sinister.
Xiao Yue felt the intense pain from her waist, her face twisted in agony. Hearing his words, she turned pale with fear, trembling all over.
She knew all too well what a furnace cauldron meant! For a female cultivator, it was the most brutal and painful fate.
Lying on the ground, Han Yu shouted angrily, "You bastard, if you dare harm a single hair on my Senior Sister, my Master will never let you go!"
Master White Bone sneered, tossing the Astonishing Rainbow Sword aside, piercing Han Yu's abdomen and pinning him to the ground.
"Boy, it seems you haven't grasped the situation!"
"But no matter, I'll first take your Senior Sister's primal yin. Once your blood drains dry, I'll refine your bones into a White Bone Sword."
Master White Bone's eyes, one large and one small, stared intently at Xiao Yue on the ground, reaching out with a sinister laugh.
"You... get away! Don't come near!"
Seeing him approach, Xiao Yue ignored her pain, propping herself up and retreating.
After all, she was just a young woman in her early twenties, with simple experiences and not the mental fortitude of those old monsters.
Thinking of what was about to happen, she felt utterly hopeless.
At this moment, she couldn't help but regret. Before setting out, her grandfather had repeatedly warned her to be extremely cautious against Master White Bone.
If she could kill him in one strike, she should do so. If he escaped, she must not pursue.
But with the Astonishing Rainbow Sword in hand, she thought there would be no problem.
Now, she realized what true cunning was. But it was too late for regrets.
In her vision, the ugly face drew closer, and Xiao Yue's heart filled with fear and despair, tears welling up in her eyes.
Her pitiful appearance made her even more endearing.
Master White Bone's beastly nature surged, drool dripping from his mouth.
But just as he was about to touch Xiao Yue...
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
The sound of something slicing through the air echoed.
Hiding behind the rockery, Su Shi'er seized the opportunity and decisively threw the Soul-Breaking Nails.
If it were anyone else, Su Shi'er wouldn't have intervened.
But with Xiao Yue in danger, he couldn't stand by.
From the start, he had predicted that Xiao Yue and Han Yu wouldn't be a match for Master White Bone.
However, he didn't act the moment Xiao Yue was injured.
Instead, he chose the moment when Master White Bone was most relaxed.
"Hmm? An accomplice?" Hearing the commotion behind him, Master White Bone's expression changed instantly.
Though he hadn't anticipated this, as a former Foundation Establishment cultivator who had lived for countless years, he had vast combat experience.
Without thinking, he executed several side flips, instantly moving dozens of meters away.
The Soul-Breaking Nails barely missed Master White Bone, embedding into the ground and disappearing.
Seeing this, Su Shi'er wasn't surprised, only sighing inwardly at Master White Bone's cunning.
Without waiting for Master White Bone to steady himself, Su Shi'er leaped onto the rockery, fixing his gaze on Master White Bone, drawing the Heavenly Wolf Bow to full draw.
Injecting True Essence into the bow and arrow, six colored light arrows materialized instantly.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
The light arrows shot forth, accompanied by three Explosive Arrows, stronger than a full-force strike from a top-grade ritual artifact.
Master White Bone was no easy opponent, something Su Shi'er had long discerned from the shadows.
Facing such an adversary, he couldn't worry about wasting the Explosive Arrows. He unleashed his ultimate move from the start.
Even if he couldn't kill the opponent, he aimed to inflict maximum damage.
"Hmph! You think this attack can deal with me? Utterly foolish!"
Turning his head, seeing the light arrows flying towards him, Master White Bone snorted disdainfully.
The light arrows looked flashy but were actually of limited power.
The hidden Explosive Arrows, before exploding, had no spiritual energy fluctuations.
Back then, if Su Shi'er hadn't noticed the hint of pride in that hook-nosed man's eyes, he might have fallen for it.
But he wouldn't make the same mistake.
After releasing a volley of light arrows, he immediately grasped the Silver Light Sword, stepping into the Shadowless Phantom Steps, charging towards the opponent.
At the same time, he gathered his True Essence, unleashing an even more powerful light sword.
It felt as if the light arrows were merely a feint, with the Silver Light Sword being the true killing move.
